Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Scorn and Mockery_1
Meng Yunhan shook her head, “I’m not tired. I’m not tired. It’s our parents working at home, they are the tired ones. You should rest. I will finish cleaning up shortly.” Then, Meng Yunhan handed Little Huzi to Yun Hao and left the house.
Meng Yunhan was swift. She finished cleaning up in less than fifteen minutes.
Meanwhile, Yun Hao watched through the window as his wife worked in the yard under the blazing sun.
“Wifey, come quickly.” Seeing his wife’s face turning red from the sun, Yun Hao quickly picked up a palm fan to fan her.
“Ahao, you’re so kind.”
Yun Hao didn’t respond, his actions speaking louder than words.
“Mom and dad should be coming back soon.”
They would be making their way back from the hill because the sun was too intense.
“With the farming season upon us and everyone eating communal meals, we can just whip up something simple to eat.” He was still not picky but these days his wife has been cooking meals for him with eggs or meat only. She insisted on nourishing his body, complained about how the good food would go to waste if uneaten due to the hot weather. Normally, he should have lost weight due to the decreased appetite from the heat, but instead, he’s gaining weight.
“Alright.” Given that she was now in her mother-in-law’s house, she didn’t know if she could find some rice or flour in the kitchen or if there were any vegetables?
Meng Yunhan rested for a bit and then got up to prepare the meal. Yun Hao wanted to help but was stopped by Meng Yunhan with the excuse of looking after Little Huzi. Thus, she went to the kitchen alone.
Some villagers noticed Meng Yunhan and Yun Hao had returned, so in less than half a day, the entire village knew Yun Hao had awakened.
“Shulan, I heard your youngest son has woken up and returned home with his wife and kid. Aren’t you going back to see them?”
Yun mother froze, stunned. A man who was determined to lie in bed for life, and he woke up in less than half a year?
How could she not be astonished?
“Oh my, your grandson is not the bane of your family anymore, nor is he any misfortune.”
Yun mother had always wanted to forget about these matters, but now that they were mentioned again and that the third son had also woken up, she feared that he already knew everything. How could she face him now?
“You should go back and see him. Your third son waking up is a big joyous event. It’s not that easy for someone who was as good as dead to wake up.”
“Shulan, I heard from your daughters-in-law that you declared on your grandson’s full moon celebration day that you’d follow your third son from then on. But shortly after he had a mishap, you chased out his family. Your third son is a sensible man and right after waking up, he hurriedly came to see you.” Said a woman who had bad terms with Wang Shulan.
Seeing things heating up, some tried to mediate, “Hehua, why don’t you speak less?”
Liu Hehua huffed, “I’m speaking the truth. Everyone in our village knows the third son of the Yun family is a good man. He has been sending money home every month before he got married. And we all know where that money went when the mishap occurred a month ago. His family was chased out just shortly after.”
The few women who were siding with Wang Shulan fell silent.
Because what Liu Hehua spoke was the truth.
“Wang Shulan, don’t you feel guilty? You used the money from your third son to subsidize the older brothers. You were just complaining some time ago that your daughter’s mother-in-law is biased right? I see you’re no better. Hmph… I see that the third son has returned this time with his wife and child probably to confront you. It’s going to be hard for you to earn favor going forward!”
