"You?" Xie Lingzhi was extremely enraged at this moment, but seeing Liang Qianâs smug look, her emotions immediately subsided, and she smiled instead, saying, "Sister-in-law, you really make a good godmother, letting them use my fan and watch my TV. Wasting my electricity while you play the good person. Youâre quite the schemer."
"Big sister-in-law, youâre not afraid of biting your tongue saying that. Not only are they now part of the Mei Family, expected to use Meiâs things, but as for my goddaughter, the last thing she lacks is money. They have the best of everything at home â cars, fridges, televisions. Do you really think theyâre short of your bit of electricity bill? You feel so distressed over using your fan for a few hours? Where did your class go? Now you look just like any common folks on the street. Arenât you afraid of being laughed at?"
"You... Liang Qian, donât go too far. I think youâre the one behaving like a commoner now."
"How am I going too far? Originally, Iâm just a child from a poor family, born as a commoner."
"Alright, Liang Qian, youâre just picking a fight, arenât you?"
"Alright, alright, both of you say less. Sister-in-law Wu, cut some iced watermelon, let Xiao Chi and the others come down to cool off later."
"Yes."
Xie Lingzhi knew this old woman liked playing the peacemaker.
Upstairs, Han Yi and Lin Wan heard Xie Lingzhi being left speechless by Godmother, and exchanged smiles.
"Godmother is here, so I can be at ease with you here. Iâll go to the courtyard later to bring the luggage over."
"Alright, come back early."
"Daddy, I want to go with you."
"Be good and stay here with mommy, daddy will bring you back something yummy."
"Okay, okay, Xingxing wants to eat ice cream."
"Alright, today Xingxing is allowed to have one, how about that?"
"Yay!"
When Lin Wan and the others went downstairs, Xie Lingzhi snorted and rolled her eyes at them.
"Xiao Yi, itâs your first day back, and you just stay inside glued to your wife and kid, isnât that something?" It was Old Mrs. Mei who spoke.
Han Yi slightly curled his lips into a smile at Old Mrs. Mei without even calling her a grandmother, "Isnât Mei Langchi also staying inside and not coming out? Is that okay then?"
"Great-Grandma, Xingxingâs tummy just hurt a lot, itâs daddy who was rubbing Xingxingâs tummy." Before Old Mrs. Mei could speak, Little Star had already thrown herself into Old Mrs. Meiâs arms, successfully diverting her attention.
Little Starâs sweet talk made Old Mrs. Mei laugh heartily, no longer caring about what Han Yi had said.
Seeing this, Han Yi felt much more at ease and said to Liang Qian, "Second Aunt, Iâll go back to get the luggage."
"Go ahead, Iâm here."
"You act like guarding against thieves. Are you afraid weâll eat up your wife?"
"Indeed, I do have to guard against you a bit. Iâm really afraid youâd do just that," Liang Qian retorted bluntly.
The two of them now mutually disliked each other.
Han Yi paused when he heard Xie Lingzhiâs words, but didnât linger much longer, heading straight out the door.
The grandson of the Mei Family who had been away returned, and Mr. Mei had asked for assistance in the afternoon, willing to give up resources. He took him to meet those old friends, since these old friends needed Mr. Mei to personally deliver the invitations.
Now, except for Mei Langchi, there were only the Mei Family daughters-in-law left at home.
With Little Star around, Old Mrs. Mei didnât care much about Lin Wan.
Liang Qian and Lin Wan sat on the side eating watermelon, watching Old Mrs. Mei play with Little Star.
Xie Lingzhi got annoyed just looking at the sight of Old Mrs. Mei with Little Star in her arms.
If Hua Hua was Xiao Chiâs child, this little brat wouldnât even have a chance.
