Shi Tong left, I was quiet as usual, and brought Qiang'er to my side, I gradually found the feeling of being a mother, Mei Niang actually does not have much affection for this younger brother, although the two are siblings of the same mother, but each has its own nurse, for her, only know that this little person is her younger brother, but she doesn't know what the younger brother is. I put Qiang'er's cradle next to my bedside and took care of it myself, and I stopped letting the nurse breastfeed, and began to add complementary food to him with modern ideas. Maybe it was because I had raised both of my children myself, and my younger brother's relationship grew by leaps and bounds. However, in my opinion, Qiang'er has become Mei Niang's new toy, and when Qiang Er is learning to speak, Mei Niang will shout by his side over and over again: "Call sister...... My sister ...... "I'm just watching them and doing my own thing."

Shi Tong left this time, but he learned to be obedient, and he would send letters regularly, most of them were fine, and he didn't give them to me alone. I will also send some gifts back, supplements for the elderly, toys for children, and the brightly colored silk should be for me? These things are sent back in a steady stream, piled up in the hall, I will be stunned when I look at it, does he want to make amends?

Shiju has no news, and then thinks that there is no radio or TV in Datang, how can Shiju know that there is nothing at home? Maybe he'll be back when Shi Tong is released? He is back, will the child be returned to him?

I watched as the carpenter did what I asked to make two dolls, one large and one small, playing in the fence. I couldn't help but smile and shake my head, what does it matter if he can't come back, I have to help him take the child.

"Young grandma." A crisp voice at the door interrupted my thoughts, and I looked up, it was Sister-in-law Liu beside the old lady. I hurriedly stood up and invited her in, but fortunately, she was not as arrogant as before, and honestly stood on my left hand side and handed me a glass of water.

"Sister-in-law Liu, what's the matter, is there something wrong with the old lady?" I politely took it and asked with a smile.

"The old lady is very good, and she is still praising the young grandmother for her virtuousness, and taking good care of the family, which is a great blessing for our martial arts family." She smiled exaggeratedly, and I smiled and took a sip of water. Sister-in-law Liu rarely looks at her eyes so politely, it seems that she must have something to do with me.

"If you have something, just say it, I will help if I can."

"Young grandmother is really a good master who is sympathetic to her subordinates......" She was about to say a good word of praise for virtue, I sighed, and gently put the cup on the table.

"Sister-in-law Liu, Mei Niang will eat dim sum later, if you don't say anything, you will have to wait for the evening to be free."

"Yes, the old slave is confused. The old slave has a kid, and the old lady ** Dian followed the second young master to help in the shop the year before last...... "She peeked at me, I didn't look at her." Anyway, I can't do things now, so it's better to play with the children. I walked over to the fence and teased Qiang'er, who was standing on the fence, but I heard her say, or I knew what she wanted to say.

Shi Ju left, the shop was supposed to be managed by Shi Tong, but now Shi Tong is a person in the court, and it is impossible to really manage the shop's livelihood, and now the shop is managed by Uncle Xiang, I will look at it every few days. But this is not a long-term solution, there must always be a reliable man in the family to support, I talked to the master, he meant either to shut up, or to find a domestic slave. I thought that Sister-in-law Liu knew that the master had this meaning, so she came to probe my tone. I don't like Sister-in-law Liu very much, not because she is pampered and arrogant, but because of her personality, this kind of personality can't be trusted with confidence, I don't know how her son is, but looking at her, I first put a question mark in my heart.

"Young Grandma!" She saw that I didn't reflect, thought I didn't see it, and screamed again.

"What am I listening to? The eldest young master is an official in Beijing, and if the family still has this kind of small business, I am afraid that he will cause trouble, so I am telling the master that I want to close it......"

"How's that going to work? Let's ......" Sister-in-law Liu screamed, she didn't notice the abnormality of her voice, I immediately looked at Qiang'er, and sure enough, he was slightly frightened, and was looking at me in horror, looking like he wanted to open his mouth and cry. I smiled at him and put my finger on his lips, and he thought I was teasing him, and began to talk to me, as if to accuse Sister-in-law Liu of misconduct. Seeing that he didn't cry, I was slightly relieved, and wanted to turn around and say a few words to Sister-in-law Liu, but I didn't expect Mei Niang on the side to speak.

"Sister-in-law Liu, you're scared of Qiang'er." Mei Niang shouted, her expression was serious, her eyes were like torches, staring at Sister-in-law Liu word by word and continued: "My mother is kind to talk to you, how did you talk back to your mother?" Did grandma teach you like that? Scared Qiang'er, can you afford it? ”

"Miss!" Sister-in-law Liu was stunned, and she only dared to call Miss, and she didn't know what to say for a while.

Mei Niang ignored it: "What do you want me to do?" At such an age, I don't know any rules, I want to go back to my grandmother, this family can't accept you. As she spoke, she patted Qiang'er and stood up, as if she really intended to go to the old lady's house. I looked at her, is this Wu Zetian? A child who is less than three years old really can't tolerate a little sand? Am I going to stop her?

"Young grandmother, the old slave is just in a hurry, and he has no intention of offending the little master!" She threw herself in front of me and knelt down, I thought about it, and looked at Mei Niang.

"Mei Niang, Sister-in-law Liu is the person used by grandma's side, can you be filial to grandma?"

"There are a lot of people who can serve grandma, and if you are disrespectful to your mother and strong child, staying will only break the rules of the house." She spoke loudly, and it looked like she had already decided.

I took a deep breath, still bitter, should I refute? If she is allowed to develop like this, she will not be the cruel monarch in the future, but if it is forbidden and suppresses her mentality, what will she do in the future? I finally gritted my teeth and looked at Sister-in-law Liu.

"Sister-in-law Liu, you are also old, it is better to do this, I will give you a sum of silver, how about going home and recuperating in the old lady, you can go yourself, the old lady." I smiled and said gently, I know I'm compromised, I don't want to disappoint Shuang'er, but I don't want Sister-in-law Liu to leave unwillingly, and I don't want Sister-in-law Liu to go to the old lady to sue me.

"The young grandmother wants to drive me away, why bother to use the young lady as a gunman." Sister-in-law Liu stood up angrily and glared at me. I was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing, Qiang'er was scared again, this time I didn't stop, he cried loudly.

"Someone!" Mei Niang was annoyed and shouted, the sister-in-law outside the door had not dared to come in for a long time, and when she heard Mei Niang calling, she rushed in and looked directly at Mei Niang.

"Miss!"

"Kicked her out for me, and her son, and all my relatives kicked me out." Mei Niang's angry cheeks were red, her whole body trembled, and Sister-in-law Xiang was a little embarrassed, but she still pulled Sister-in-law Liu out.

I went over and squatted down and gently hugged Mei Niang, I didn't want to ask why, I didn't want to say that she did something wrong, I just caressed her still trembling body like this.

Qiang'er saw that I didn't hug him, but hugged my sister, but didn't cry, looked at us curiously, his eyes were round, he was really a beautiful child. I smiled at him, and he also opened his biggest smile to me, my heart was full of tenderness, let go of Mei Niang, and let her see Qiang'er. Qiang'er's big smile also seemed to give Mei Niang great comfort, she used to hug Qiang'er like I hugged her. I reached out and hugged both of them, and I decided that I didn't want anything more. Whoever she is, now she is my daughter, she loves me, she loves my brother, and she is protecting us in her way.
