Chapter 780: A Dog Catching a Mouse, Meddling in Other People's Business

~9 min read 1,659 words

"These two children are really handsome. Look at this little appearance..."

"Hey, the children's parents are good-looking, so of course the children look good."

After Wu Juying and Watching Wen Leyu brought the two children out, they immediately drew praise from everyone.

There was certainly the reason that the two children were indeed pleasing to the eye, but it also had to do with the children's parents and maternal grandparents.

In his previous life, Li Ye understood a principle: as long as you are doing well, even if your son looks like Ma Ali, people will say, "This child has a unique appearance and will surely achieve great things in the future."

And just as everyone was praising the children, someone suddenly shouted outside: "Is Comrade Li Ye at home? You have relatives from your family who have come, and they've been looking for the door outside for a long time, so I've brought them to you."

"Relatives of our family can't find the door?"

Li Ye came out to take a look and found it was Liu Ganshi from the neighborhood committee, and the two people following behind Liu Ganshi were Han Chunmei's younger sister, Han Chunlan, and her husband, Niu Dali.

Li Ye was very surprised; he didn't know how this couple had found their way to his house.

And Han Chunmei was even more surprised, even somewhat terrified. Now the house was full of guests, and she didn't know whether to chase Han Chunlan out or welcome her in.

Li Ye reacted quickly, walked over, and said with a smile: "Then thank you, Liu Ganshi. These are indeed relatives from our hometown."

"Then I can rest easy."

Liu Ganshi said with a smile: "They stopped on the street outside and wouldn't come in. When I went over to ask, they said they were your aunt and uncle. I was thinking, how come your aunt doesn't have the same accent as your mother?"

"By the way, Comrade Li Ye, where is your mother? How come I haven't seen her these past few days?"

"..."

Li Ye looked at the smiling Liu Ganshi, then looked at the surprised Han Chunmei, really wishing he could curse, "A dog catching a mouse, meddling in other people's business."

"This is my mother, this is my grandfather and grandmother, this is my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Today is the child's full-month banquet. Why don't you come in and have a drink, Liu Ganshi?"

Li Ye quickly introduced the group of people, implicitly hinting that there were many important guests in the house today, so don't you dare run your mouth again.

Liu Ganshi's expression turned extremely strange in an instant.

This morning, he had noticed a big Red Flag car parked at Li Ye's door and knew that something must be going on at Li Ye's house.

Later, Liu Ganshi encountered a 130 truck with out-of-town license plates outside. As a neighborhood committee staff member, he asked a few questions casually.

As a result, that Niu Dali couldn't help but ask, and after a few stammers, said he was Li Ye's "uncle." Liu Ganshi immediately seized the opportunity and enthusiastically brought them over; they had no choice but to come.

But now, looking at the "mother" Li Ye pointed to, she wasn't the overseas Chinese from Malaysia he had seen before!

But looking at Li Ye's eyes now, then looking at the powerful-aura grandfather, grandmother, father-in-law, and mother-in-law, and then thinking about the big Red Flag parked at the door, how could Liu Ganshi not understand that he had done a bad thing with good intentions?

"Oh, oh, then you're busy, you're busy. I'm still on duty, so I won't disturb you, hehehehe~"

After Liu Ganshi fled in a panic, Li Ye smiled and welcomed the Han Chunlan couple in, arranging for them to sit at a table with Hao Jian, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng, and Li Dayong.

Everyone was from Qingshui. Han Chunlan was now doing clothing business and was very familiar with Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng and the others. Moreover, everyone knew that her relationship with Li Ye was okay, and she had come with relatives and friends from Qingshui County when he got married, so there was no barrier to sitting together.

But Han Chunmei was knitting her brows, and for a long time, she couldn't smooth them out.

She didn't know many characters, but she wasn't stupid. After hearing what Liu Ganshi said just now, how could she not let her imagination run wild?

Seeing her sister's expression, Han Chunlan also felt something was wrong, but she thought it was because they had come too abruptly, so she hurriedly found an opportunity to explain sheepishly to Han Chunmei.

"Sister, after we received your call that day, we thought about how we owed Li Ye a big favor and thought we should come over to give some gifts."

"But after we arrived at the door, we saw several small cars and knew it wasn't appropriate, so we drove the car to the street outside to wait. We intended to wait for the guests to leave before calling you, quietly leave the things, and go."

"But I didn't expect that neighborhood cadre to come over and interrogate us like he was catching spies. We didn't have an introduction letter, so we had to tell the truth. That Comrade Liu insisted on bringing us over; we tried to decline several times but couldn't..."

"Oh, you're here, so just stay! You go eat with them first, and go back after you finish."

Han Chunlan gave a sheepish, bitter laugh, and the awkward expression was indescribable. But Han Chunmei was absent-minded, perfunctorily responding a few times before silently picking up little You'an and returning to her room to breastfeed him.

It was just that little You'an had been full and asleep for a long time, but Han Chunmei was still blankly maintaining her posture, completely unaware.

Li Juan pushed the door open lightly and whispered: "Mom, little brother is asleep."

Only then did Han Chunmei wake up, cover her clothes, and gently put the child down.

Li Juan waited for a few seconds, then whispered again: "Mom, they are still waiting for you outside! You are sitting at the head table at our table..."

Among the guests who came today, Yang Yumin's mother, younger sister, as well as Hao Jian's wife, Watching Watching Watching Jin Peng's wife, etc., these female guests gathered at one table. Han Chunmei, as the hostess, was sitting in the seat of honor. She suddenly left the table; others would definitely feel something was wrong.

But Han Chunmei listened to Li Juan's words, looked up blankly, and said: "Yang Xiaojuan, do you think it's appropriate for me to sit at the head table?"

Li Juan was stunned and said weakly: "Why wouldn't it be appropriate? This was arranged by my brother! You have the highest seniority at our table, and you are the hostess, so you should sit at the head table."

"..."

Han Chunmei smiled bitterly: "What kind of seniority do I have? A stepmother halfway through..."

Li Juan felt anxious in her heart and suddenly pointed to little You'an: "Mom, just by the fact that you gave birth to a son for my dad, you are not a stepmother."

Han Chunmei was stunned, then looked up and asked Li Juan: "Yang Xiaojuan, just now that neighborhood cadre said he hadn't seen your brother's mother for several days... What does that mean?"

"I didn't... I didn't hear it! Did that Liu Ganshi say it wrong?"

Han Chunmei stared at her daughter, looked with a calm expression for a full ten seconds, then suddenly stood up and reached out to pinch Li Juan's ear.

"Speak, what are you and Xiao Ying hiding from me? Ever since the day your brother got married, you and Xiao Ying have been inciting me to have a third child and give birth to a son for your dad. That person just now clearly said he had seen your brother's mother..."

"Ouch, ouch, Mom, let go quickly, my ear is going to fall off..."

"Speak, tell me the truth!"

"I really don't know! Mom, let go quickly."

Li Juan gritted her teeth and refused to let go.

It was clearly Li Ying's ghost idea, but now she had to bear everything.

【If only Xiao Ying were here, I'd pinch her ear, not mine.】

"Chunmei, what are you dawdling about?"

Just as Li Juan felt she was about to become "one-eared," Grandma Wu Juying arrived.

Han Chunmei immediately let go of Li Juan's ear and said sheepishly: "Mom, I was feeding the child! Why don't... you go sit at the head table!"

Wu Juying looked at Han Chunmei and said pointedly: "You are such a big person, you can't rely on others for everything. Since it's arranged for you to sit at the head table, you should show the appearance of a hostess. If you are always timid, how will you educate little You'an in the future?"

"..."

"I know, Mom."

Han Chunmei agreed, silently returned to the wine table, and then, as expected, got drunk.

Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu witnessed all this and both sighed lightly.

Watching Wen Leyu said worriedly: "Although she will know sooner or later, little You'an is still so young, and she is so fragile. What if she can't figure it out in her heart?"

Li Ye said helplessly: "Plans can't keep up with changes. I just hope that as a mother, she will be strong and can overcome this hurdle! If there were no little You'an, she might find it even harder to face some things."

Since Fu Guiru is alive, Han Chunmei is destined to experience some hardships.

In the 80s, as long as a mother has a son, she will slowly learn to be strong, and she must be strong. ===== CHAPTER 781 =====
