Chapter 311 The More He Limps, the More He Knocks
"Third wife... Is third wife at home?"
"Coming, coming. With a creak, the door opened, revealing the face of a middle-aged woman.
"Oh, it turns out to be Yaya, my little darling."
"Hello grandma~"
"Oh, you are such a sensible little girl, my grandma's heart melted when she called her."
"Sister-in-law, I'm here to bother you."
When Bai Yunxi saw the person, he immediately recognized the number in his memory. This was Mrs. Zhang, the eldest daughter-in-law of San Auntie. She was quite a nice person.
San Bo Niang gave birth to three girls and one boy. Since the three girls got married and left home, they rarely come back except for New Year's Day.
After all, she is not young anymore, and she has reached the age where she has children and grandchildren. She is old enough to be a grandmother, not to mention several cousins.
When Zhang suddenly saw Baiyun Xi, she was stunned for a moment, and immediately stepped away with a smile.
"What's the trouble? It's really rare for my cousin to come to my house. Even though we're just a short distance away, it feels like I haven't seen you for half a year. Come in quickly and talk to your third wife. She's still in good spirits right now. "
Bai Yunxi listened to Zhang's tone and smiled gently.
"It's also my fault. There are too many things at home, and sometimes I really can't get away. Didn't it snow these past two days? There is no need to go to the mountains to find food, and there is not much work in the fields, so I just go out for a walk.
Mrs. Zhang knew that all she said were kind words, and she also knew what she was taboo about. But my mother-in-law never cared about this. She had said things like it was not easy for her more than once, and her ears were getting calluses.
"Don't stand at the door talking on a cold day. Come inside. I just burned the charcoal basin and it's getting warm right now."
Mrs. Zhang was polite, but she couldn't climb along the pole. After all, there were elderly people at home, so she couldn't violate the taboo.
"I won't go in, so as not to disturb Third Auntie's rest. I came here today just to ask my cousin if there are any old hens for sale at home. I want to buy one and stew it for my daughter."
After hearing Bai Yunxi's tone, Mrs. Zhang was stunned.
"What, you want to see your daughter on a snowy day?"
Seeing the concern in Mrs. Zhang's eyes, the fact that her daughter was brought back by her would have to be known sooner or later. Bai Yunxi didn't hide it, and simply told her about her daughter's miscarriage, with a look of remorse. .
"Xiaojing has caught a cold and needs to be cared for carefully to avoid getting the disease. After all, she is still young. In the final analysis, it is all because of my incompetence as a mother. My daughter has suffered such great injustice without knowing it."
"If some kind-hearted people hadn't come to report this, the consequences would have been disastrous."
Mrs. Zhang recovered from the shock, looked at Bai Yunxi's self-reproaching look, and quickly held her hand.
"Cousin, don't blame yourself too much. When a girl gets married, she belongs to someone else's family. There is no reason for her parents' family to come to the door every day. Fortunately, God opened his eyes and let my cousin believe it in advance, which proves that God is also on our side. "
It's really getting lame and knocking more and more.
"Don't tell me, I'm going to the market to sell the old hen I've raised at home for three years. Although the meat is a little bit woody, it's still good to make Laohuo soup. Add a few red dates and a few slices of astragalus to supplement it. It is most suitable to have a short period of time.”
Hearing Mrs. Zhang's tone, Bai Yunxi was overjoyed, "Thank you so much, cousin. Please help me catch him and weigh him."
"You wait."
Mrs. Zhang saw that she was determined not to come in, so she didn't force her. She turned around and went to the chicken coop, pulled out the three-year-old hen, tied its legs with a rope, and carried it out directly.
