~4 min read 736 words

Someone sighed, "That man is actually holding a radio."

"Heavens, could this also be a gift for Shaofeng's wife?"

"What you say, carrying it all this way, could it be just for show?"

"Oh heavens, I've never seen a full-moon banquet gift so large."

"No wonder Shaofeng that fellow has such good fortune."

After Qiu Shaofeng introduced both sides, he said, "Grandpa, you've had a long journey by land and water; let's go inside first."

The reason Grandpa Xiao came today was twofold: first to support his granddaughter who had just been recognized but was already married, and second to personally visit and pay respects to his late wife.

As they just crossed the courtyard, Qiu Tai Nai, whose health had always been poor, was helped out by her son.

Qiu Mu was startled and quickly stepped forward, "Grandmother, why have you come out?"

Qiu Tai Nai, perhaps buoyed by the happy occasion, was in surprisingly good spirits today, "Xia Qiu's grandfather and the others have come all this way; naturally, I, this old woman, must come out to welcome them."

Grandpa Xiao stepped forward, "Old Madam, you are too kind; the weather is warming but still chilly, you must take extra care."

Saying this, he turned and took a mesh bag from his son's hands, "This is a small token of our gratitude to the old madam for caring for my granddaughter. As the saying goes, an elder in the house is like a treasure; you must take good care of your health. With you holding the fort, the younger generation will feel secure."

Qiu Tai Nai waved her hand with a smile, "I am old and useless now, but my children and grandchildren are all filial; I am content."

This was indeed true; no matter how much the younger generation made trouble, as long as the Qiu family's Tai Nai spoke, no one dared to disobey.

Qiu Fu stepped forward at this moment, "Let's go inside first; we can talk more once we are seated."

Qiu Tai Nai forced herself inside to chat a few more words before letting her son help her back to her room, "With the Xiao family's support, Shaofeng's days ahead are surely going to be good; with today's events, the household will be more peaceful from now on."

Qiu Laotou clearly did not understand, "What do you mean by that?"

He helped his own mother onto the kang to lie down.

Then the old madam said, "Before, Shaohu's wife always looked down on Shaofeng's wife, thinking she was more beautiful than herself and that Shaofeng was more considerate than Shaohu; she felt unbalanced, so she always looked for trouble. Back then, Shaofeng's wife's family conditions were poor, so she always swallowed her anger."

Later, when sister Xia Qiu went to the city to become a worker and took very good care of her own sister, this made Shaohu's wife even more jealous, so she looked for trouble at every opportunity, but Xia Qiu that child had her own principles; she simply did not take the bait, making Shaohu's wife so angry she jumped up and down."

But ever since she was recognized by her biological grandfather, and with her entire natal family moving to the city, Shaohu's wife couldn't catch up even if she ran after a horse, so naturally she quieted down."

Seeing her son say nothing, she coughed a few times and then asked, "Didn't you notice Shaohu's wife hasn't been causing trouble much lately?"

Qiu Laotou nodded, "Indeed, I previously thought she had become sensible; it turns out it was for this reason."

After speaking so many words, Qiu Tai Nai was very tired; before Qiu Laotou could react, he saw she had already dozed off.

On the other side, in Xia Qiu's room, Miao Yiqiu, accompanied by the eldest daughter-in-law, her own daughter, and several younger relatives, was speaking intimate words to Xia Qiu, "This item is your grandfather's wedding gift to you; you can keep it to pass the time when you are free; rest assured and accept it."

After that, besides nutritional supplements, there were many bolts of cotton cloth in various colors, "Children change every day; these fabrics will be of great use."

When Liu Chuxue brought out a bright cashmere blanket for a small child, the Qiu family members who followed in were filled with surprise and envy in their eyes.
