The retired rough man dotes on his mother

Chapter 158 He Can't Be My Master

When we went out for a walk in the evening, everyone was still talking about Li Changhe, Wang Mei, his youngest son and his second daughter-in-law. They were also talking about how miserable Wang Mei's daughters were living at home now, and how it was a sin to have such a mother.

Wang Pandi now beats and scolds the maids at home. He often calls his granddaughters "little bitches" and "money-losing goods". He does not allow Wang Mei's second daughter to enter the house, and will break the legs of anyone who allows her to enter the house.

Sun Erying also wouldn't let her into the house. Whenever Sun Erying saw her, she would slap her hard. The girl had nowhere to go, so Shen Yongfu sent her back to Wang Mei's parents' home. Fortunately, her brother's wife was kind-hearted and let the girl into the house.

Grandpa and grandma also heard about the bad things that happened to Wang Pandi's family, but they didn't feel anything special. The old man just said that everyone has their own destiny and no one can be blamed.

Sun Erying no longer dares to act domineeringly at home. His daughter-in-law seems to have changed into a different person overnight. In the past, no matter how Sun Erying scolded her, she would never say a word. But now, she is dominating Sun Erying and Sun Erying no longer dares to bully her at home as he did before.

"How do you think Li Changhe will deal with this?" Xiao Baoer asked Shen Zhensheng.

Shen Zhensheng said in a low voice, "I asked the captain today, and he will probably go for reform and won't be back in the village in the short term. At his age, he probably won't be able to cause any trouble when he returns to the village, and he won't be a threat to anyone."

As they were walking, they saw Aunt Song Yun and her aunt and were about to talk to Aunt Song Yun about making clothes.

"The young couple has brought the child out again. The weather is cold. Mrs. Zhensheng, you have to be careful when you are pregnant with two children. Don't catch a cold," Aunt Song Yun said to Xiao Baoer with concern.

"It's okay, auntie, I'm being careful. Wear warm clothes and walk more often," Xiao Baoer replied softly to Song Yun.

"Wife, talk to the aunts first, don't walk around, wait here for me, these two guys ran away again, I'll go take care of them."

Shen Zhensheng carried Sanbao and chased Dabao and Erbao, but the two little brats ran away again.

Xiao Baoer was just talking to Aunt Song Yun and the others, "Aunt, I was just about to come look for you. I want to ask my aunt and the others to help me sew clothes. I'll give them 50 cents for each piece of clothing. Do you want to join us?"

"What? Fifty cents for a piece of clothing? That much?"

Song Yun’s first reaction was that the price was quite high. A male laborer could only earn fifty cents by doing manual labor for a whole day. How could he earn so much money just by sewing clothes at home?

The aunt-in-law also laughed when she saw Song Yun's reaction. It seemed that not only she was blinded by money, but even the captain's wife was the same.

"Of course not. Could the third son's wife lie to you? I will take my daughter-in-law to study tomorrow. Do you want to go with us?" The eldest aunt-in-law also asked if they wanted to go together, so it would be more lively this way.

Aunt Song Yun agreed without even thinking about it, "Of course I'll go. I don't trust anyone except Zhensheng's wife."

Xiao Baoer asked her, "Aunt, do you want to go home and ask the captain for his opinion? What if he disagrees?"

Aunt Song Yun waved her hand and said straightforwardly, "If he disagrees, I won't listen. He can't be my boss. He is the boss of the village, and I am the boss of my family."

Xiao Baoer wanted to give her a thumbs up. A woman who could say this was very confident at home.

"Okay, auntie, then you and your aunt come to my house tomorrow, and I'll teach you how to look at the patterns of clothes, and then cut them. You're already skilled at it, so it's easy to learn. Then you can just take the fabric and make it."

A few people chatted and laughed and decided on the matter. Xiao Baoer felt that working with knowledgeable people was the most worry-free. Needless to say, there wouldn't be so many troubles.

Shen Zhensheng quickly brought the two brats back. Afraid that Xiao Baoer would catch a cold if she stayed outside for too long, the two of them took the children back home.

Shen Zhensheng has started telling stories to his children every night. He often talks to his children after finishing the story. Regardless of whether the children can understand or not, he insists on talking, acting like a good father.

"Wife, how about eating yogurt and bird's nest tomorrow morning? You are more than three months old now. We should take some supplements every day. I will control the amount for you."

Ever since Shen Zhensheng knew that there were some books in the space, he took out books about pregnancy and read them, including how to supplement nutrition and relieve morning sickness in the early, middle and late stages of pregnancy. He studied them all very seriously and even circled and drew with a pen. It was very hard work.

"Okay, I'll have fried dumplings and pumpkin baked custard tomorrow morning."

"Okay, go to sleep, I'll massage your legs and feet." Shen Zhensheng was afraid that her edema was too severe, so he tried to give her a massage every day to relieve it.

When I woke up the next morning, Shen Zhensheng had prepared breakfast that included corn dumplings, pumpkin baked omelette, meat buns, spicy tofu buns, the children's favorite fruit pizza, and Xiao Baoer's yogurt bird's nest and salty shrimp porridge.

When the children were eating, Xiao Baoer was allowed to eat the bird's nest first, and then she started eating. Today's breakfast was really to her taste, so she tasted a little bit of everything and didn't eat too much.

The three children were different. Their mouths kept moving like little hamsters. They ate this and that, and they enjoyed everything they ate. Their parents were so nice. They made so many delicious food for them every day.

"Dad, why do Jiawang and Wangcai say that they eat wild vegetable porridge at home, and sometimes drink corn paste? Why don't we eat it?"

When Erbao and Dabao were playing with other kids, they heard them talking about what kind of food was cooked at home. They thought about it and realized that they had never eaten it at home, so they asked their father.

"That's because we don't have wild vegetables at home. If we had any, we would eat them," Shen Zhensheng explained to the two children.

"Dad, our family is so poor that we can't even afford wild vegetables or corn porridge," Erbao lowered his head, looking a little sad that his family couldn't afford corn porridge.

Sanbao was speechless. He picked up a piece of pizza and put it on Erbao's plate, urging him to eat quickly, "Eat, eat."

That expression seems to be saying, do you want to eat it or not? You have delicious food but you want to eat wild vegetables. Are you crazy?

Erbao didn’t have time to be sad. If he didn’t want to eat wild vegetables, then he didn’t have to. Pizza was delicious too. He was thinking about eating beef patties tomorrow.

After dinner, the three children played for a while and then had to recite poems. Today Shen Zhensheng did not teach them any new ancient poems, but just reviewed those he had taught them before.

The amazing thing is that if Erbao forgets a line of ancient poetry, Sanbao who is playing next to him will recite it for him. However, Shen Zhensheng has already seen his youngest son perform in such a big way, so he is not surprised.

Aunt Song Yun and my aunt came over after they had cleaned up the house. Xiao Baoer took them into the room where the fabrics were stored and took out the design draft to explain it to them.

When I thought it was almost done, I asked my aunt-in-law and the others to try to cut it with a piece of defective cloth. When I thought there were no problems with it, I gave the cloth to my aunt-in-law and Aunt Song Yun. My aunt-in-law's family also had her and her daughter-in-law, so they had more cloth.

When the three of them left, Xiao Baoer specifically told them not to tell the villagers too much. If anyone asked, she should say that it was because she was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to go out, and she asked the three of them to help make cotton clothes for the family.

Then we arranged to come and pick up the cloth at night next time, including delivering the finished clothes, and try to come at night, mainly because we were afraid that the villagers would come to our house and ask questions.
