Chapter 4158: The Liu Family's Downfall

g.The mother and daughter were busy, while Da Sun also came with Xiao Jie."I peeked into the kitchen, but didn't see you. I knew you must be hiding in the house sewing clothes for our father."Dà Sun s...Bao Suyun discussed Xia Jie's marriage with Sun again, including the details of her dowry and wedding preparations.

“My makeup skills can’t compare to yours, Third Sister-in-law. As Xiaojie’s aunt, your relationship is naturally closer.” Bao Suyun spoke candidly to Sun Shi.

"But I can't be like the fourth sister-in-law and her group. After all, in my heart, I consider your place here to be my family. Naturally, my relationship with the Sun family is closer than theirs. So I thought carefully about it, told the list to Mianmian, and asked her to write it down. Third sister-in-law, take a look, does this work for you"

Bao Suyun drew out a piece of paper from her sleeve and handed it to Sun shi.

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, "I can't read. Let Qinger take a look instead."

Thus, the list fell into Yang Ruohua's hands, and she read it out one by one.

After she finished reading, she was secretly amazed. Uncle Five and Auntie Five really gave Xiaojie a generous dowry this time!

She's almost catching up to her cousin's make-up for Xiaojie.

Sun also heard, her face was also shocked.

"There's too much, it's too extravagant! Such a lavish makeup would be envied wherever it is placed. You and the fifth brother really spared no expense!" said Mrs. Sun.

Bao Suyun smiled and took the list back, saying: “Every member of the Sun family has been kind to us. Back when Da Jie married Huang Mao, we were busy saving money to build a house and didn’t have much cash on hand,”

"Xiaojie is getting married now, we want to give a little gift, without spending too much, it's what we should do."

Bao Suyun said these words, naturally hoping that Sun Shi could convey them to the Sun family.

Sun Shi wasn't foolish. Immediately, she took Bao Suyun's hand and said, "Suyun, raising two children with Lao Wu isn't easy. It takes a lot of heart to do this, and it's even more difficult because everyone understands. My eldest sister at home naturally understands too!"

On the side, Yang Ruqing was thinking, this kind of family relationship is nothing but sending and receiving gifts.

No one dared to expect to become rich by these things, because now Xiaojie is getting married, Fifth Uncle and Fifth Aunt are adding makeup. In a few years, Mianmian will get married, or Da Bao will get married, the Sun family will naturally return them.

So, the sedan chair is carried by people. You come courteously, I go courteously. We just take turns paying respects and giving blessings!

Bao Suyun had just left when Liu shi arrived.

Liu shi wasn't here to tell Sun shi about Xiaojie getting her makeup done. Liu shi came to gossip and find out gossip.

"It's been several days now, Yongxian is really calm, hasn't gone to Li Jiacun to bring Li Xiu Xin back. I think this Li Xiu Xin still wants to use Xiuer as a bargaining chip, afraid she's going to be left out in the cold!" Liu shi hadn't even sat down on the stool before she started talking.

A lot of chatter, all about how Liao Meiyng took care of Xiu'er to Sun Shi and Yang Ruqing.

"You know what, even though she doesn't have any children of her own, she's incredibly patient and attentive when it comes to taking care of them,"

"In the morning, when the child wakes up, give the child warm goat's milk to drink. In the middle of the day, give the child a bowl of rice porridge."

When noon came, she again fed the child goat's milk and coaxed him to sleep for his afternoon nap. When the child woke up in the late afternoon, most of her housework was done, and she continued to cook chicken egg soup for the child to eat.

"After the child was full, she would be carried to the backyard to sunbathe. Grandma Qing could also help look after her. She would take some time for herself to prepare dinner for the night."

“When Yongxian returned from school, the family had hot meals and warm clothes. Everyone ate their fill, and everything was clean and tidy. This was much better than when Li Xiuxin was around—organized and well-kept! Mrs. Liao was truly a skilled homemaker!”

As soon as Liu sat down, she showered Liao Meiying with compliments from head to toe.

Sun stood up and poured a cup of tea for Liu, then smiled and sat down. "As long as you put your heart into it, you can learn to do anything. Meiying treating Xiu'er so well is naturally a good thing."

Yang Ruqing, however, sized up this Liu shi, smiling slyly.

When Liu saw Yang Ruqing's intense gaze, she was a little surprised.

“Qinger, why are you staring at me like that I remember washing my face before I left this morning!” Liu said.

"Auntie Four, you know everything that goes on in the main house. You know exactly when your sister-in-law feeds Xiu'er and what she feeds him. It's as if you were watching right there beside her," Yang Ruqing said half jokingly.

Mrs. Liu clapped her hands twice and said, "Isn't that right I wasn't just watching, I was also helping on the side. If it weren't for my help, Meiying wouldn't have been able to get started so quickly!"

Yang Ruqing said, “You’re helping out on the sidelines, haven't you also been eating meals with your sister-in-law I haven't seen you in five or six days, and I see that Aunt Four, your face has gained a whole circle, even when you smile, you have a double chin.”

Liu froze for a moment, then smiled so widely that her eyes narrowed into slits.

“I taught her how to raise a child, she's so grateful she couldn't wait and insisted on treating me to two meals. We're all family, if I didn't eat, that would be too much drama, right”

"Speaking of this, Liu raised her hand and touched her own face, “Have I really gotten fat”

Yang Ruqing nodded.

Liu then turned to Sun, her eyes questioning.

Sun looked at her closely and nodded, saying, "She does seem to have gained a bit of weight."

Liu said, “The Liao family cooks with a lot of oil and water. Not only has my face gotten rounder, but my sister-in-law and Fu'er have too.”

"It seems Liao is a good daughter-in-law, she knows how to be both submissive and independent. She treats our elders well, unlike that Li Xiuxin who thinks highly of herself and disrespects those above her. I wish she'd never come back and stay with her own family forever!"

Liu shi smacked her lips, as if she had a huge grudge against Li Xiu Xin.

Sun said, "Fourth younger sister-in-law, you can't speak like that."

“Even though Li Xiuxin was not a good person, she was still Xiu’er’s biological mother. Whatever she did in the past was between the three adults. I believe Li Xiuxin wouldn't be heartless enough to truly disregard Xiu’er's life and death.”

“There’s a saying that ‘a harmonious family brings prosperity.’ If she truly regrets her actions and Yongxian is willing to take her back for the sake of their child, as relatives, we should try our best to persuade them to reconcile rather than encourage a separation.”

Liu twisted her lips and said, "The Liao family is the stepmother and also Xiu'er's mother. This child doesn't understand anything. Naturally, they are closer to the one who has raised them for a longer time."

"Look at Hong'er and Liu'er, their feelings are so deep. These days, Liu'er gave birth to a girl at the medical hall in town, and Hong'er followed Grandma Qing'er,"

"I tease him every day, I tell him Hong'er, your mother gave birth to a little sister, from now on your mother won't favor you anymore, the result is that Hong'er cried so miserably, and he kept rolling around on the ground, hahaha..."

"What the heck!" Yang Ruqing directly scolded her angrily, and pulled back the teacup in front of Liu Shi, refusing to let her have any tea.

"Qinger, why are you speaking to people like that I am your elder, do you not know how to respect your elders" Liu shi also darkened her face and said loudly to Yang Ruqing.

Yang Ruqing said, "So you know she's an elder Then why did you say those things to Hong'er"ed to Yang Huazhong and the others in the main hall for help.Yang Huazhong and the others caught up. Yang Huazhong and Ba Zhu blocked Chang Gen, while Sun helped support the shaky Guihua. Everyone was...
