Protagonist:

Chai Mi

Zhang Hailan entered the Courtyard laughing together with Chai Mi.

Although Su Jin's Home is a Nong Cun Family, they don't have much land, nor do they raise cattle, sheep, Chickens, or Ducks; they only keep two small dogs, one black that looks a bit like a Border Collie, and one small yellow dog with a wide mouth.

Both dogs are quite familiar with Chai Mi...

After all, Chai Mi used to come often, so the dogs all recognize Chai Mi.

When Chai Mi and Chai Xiu came in, the dogs barked symbolically a couple of times, then quieted down and circled around Chai Mi.

Chai Xiu was so frightened her body shivered: "Sister, I'm afraid the dogs will bite me."

Seeing Chai Xiu's pale Face Color, Zhang Hailan smiled, shooed the dogs away, then put the Basket aside and picked Chai Xiu up.

Zhang Hailan is only twenty-five or six this year, healthy, young and strong; holding Chai Xiu is no effort at all: "My, Xiu'er has grown taller; in a few years Sister-in-law won't be able to lift you."

Chai Xiu smiled bashfully, looking quite the refined young lady.

Zhang Hailan has no children of her own, but she especially likes children, and with Chai Xiu being so cute and bashful, Zhang Hailan adores her.

"Xiu'er, stay at my Home today, Sister-in-law will make braised spareribs for you."

Chai Xiu glanced at Chai Mi, didn't dare agree, just said: "Sister-in-law is really nice."

Chai Mi was also afraid the dogs would bite Chai Xiu, so she casually took the smaller Basket, carrying both Baskets together, and entered the Wu Zi.

Inside the Wu Zi, she discovered Su Jin had spread a whole Kang Tou of quilts, mattress pads, and children's Clothes, and was sitting there mending them.

Chai Mi had been wondering why Aunt hadn't come out to greet her today; turns out she was busy working.

Chai Mi had Chai Xiu get down, then handed the vegetables to Zhang Hailan, who took them to the Outer Room.

"Aunt, why are you making quilts in the middle of Daxia?"

Generally in Nong Cun, making quilts and mattress pads is done in Winter, when there's no farm work, people are idle with Nothing to do, so they like to mend things.

Right now the Weather is scorching, staying in the Wu Zi makes you sweat all over, but Su Jin isn't afraid of the heat and started making quilts.

"I thought I'd make a few small Clothes for your little sister to wear, then I felt I've lived quite a few years this lifetime, and it was time to take them apart and wash them. I washed them yesterday, they're dry now, so I'm sewing them back together."

Chai Mi asked: "Do you need my help?"

Su Jin pursed her lips: "No need. That one does no work, why would I let you work?"

As Su Jin spoke, she looked toward the Door, afraid Zhang Hailan would hear, and said in a Low Voice: "She does nothing, just knows how to eat all day."

Chai Mi Gasped: As expected, Tian Xia's mothers-in-law are Generally... that thing.

Actually Chai Mi feels Cousin-in-law Zhang Hailan is really good, truly has no scheming, warm-hearted and capable, physique stronger than most men. These past years partnering with Cousin Liu San selling Fruit, they rise at the fifth watch and climb at Midnight, the hardship is real and not little.

But in Aunt's mouth, it becomes does nothing, just knows how to eat...

"Being able to eat means good health, at least she doesn't get sick easily, isn't a Sickly, so we save a lot on medical fees." Chai Mi comforted: "Besides, Aunt you've already separated households and live apart, don't meddle in everything."

"Ah... eating delicacies day in day out, spending money like water. Today pig trotters, tomorrow pig knuckles, the day after Roast Chicken, possibly spent it all..." Su Jin grumbled.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Hailan heard it too, came in from the Door, didn't get Angry either, said: "Hmph. You ate them too? It's not like I ate them all by myself."
