Ye Silai looked up: "Yes, Grandma Xie, have you eaten?"
Granny Xie smiled and walked a few steps towards the wooden fence: "I have eaten."
While speaking, she looked at Yu Xinyan: "Silai, who is this miss?"
Ye Silai, this little fellow, had been won over by Yu Xinyan with a meal and promptly advertised: "Grandma Xie, elder sister was found by uncle to take care of me and my brother. The food she makes is delicious."
She had actually guessed this long ago and smiled at Yu Xinyan while nodding: "Quite good."
Yu Xinyan politely greeted: "Hello, I am Yu Xinyan, helping to take care of the brothers for a while. Weâll go deliver the food first."
Granny Xie was easygoing: "Oh, go quickly, or the food will get cold. Come over and sit when you have time."
Yu Xinyan nodded, hurriedly taking Ye Silai away, as she noticed someone else was coming out of the house and feared delaying the delivery of the meal.
After they left, Sun Fenâe, the second daughter-in-law from the Xie Family, came out of the house: "Mom, who were you talking to?"
Granny Xie looked at the second daughter-in-law coming out: "Itâs still early, why are you heading out now?"
Sun Fenâe talked while putting on her coat: "Sister Zhang from the morning shift said she had something at home this afternoon, and I had a matter earlier, so I asked her to cover for me for a while. Now itâs time for me to return the favor. Really not taking any loss."
Granny Xie didnât like this about the second daughter-in-law; she owed her a shift and should pay it back, yet she must make it sound unpleasant: "Then hurry up, donât dawdle."
Sun Fenâe said, as she was putting on her shoes: "No rush, going a bit late wonât matter. If she really had something, sheâd have taken leave from the leader earlier."
She glanced outside but didnât see anyone: "Who were you chatting with just now?"
Granny Xie glanced at her second daughter-in-law still dawdling: "The Director Heâs nephew next door."
She didnât mention Yu Xinyan, fearing her second daughter-in-law would keep asking endlessly.
However, Sun Fenâe wasnât going to give up easily and asked: "Who else? I thought I heard another person?"
Granny Xie glared: "Hurry and cover your shift; youâre always making things complicated."
Sun Fenâe saw her mother-in-law was angry, so she headed out of the yard: "Oh dear, canât even talk anymore."
After Sun Fenâe left, Sister Cheng from across the yard popped her head out: "Auntie Xie, was that the new person Director He found?"
This question, for someone who didnât know, could easily lead to misunderstandings.
Granny Xie didnât expect to get rid of one, only for another to come along, but Sister Cheng was much more reliable than her own second daughter-in-law: "Yes, Sili said so."
Everyone knew what happened in the morning; although Director He didnât cause much fuss, someone with sharp ears still heard. Besides, Bai Cuilin thought she had been discreet during this period, but everyone saw it. Bai Cuilin was fierce, and no one wanted to trouble themselves.
Sister Cheng smiled at Granny Xie and pointed at the neighboring Qiao Family: "Deserved, so shameless."
Actually, initially, He Jinxuan wanted to find Sister Cheng from two houses over, thinking she was nice, and earlier she had made clothes for both kids. Unexpectedly, Qiao Shuanzhu accompanied his wife to the hospital, being neighbors, He Jinxuan felt awkward declining, so he agreed.
Granny Xie just smiled, glanced at the Qiao Familyâs yard, and smiled at Sister Cheng: "I have to go wash dishes, come over when you have time."
That Bai Cuilin wasnât one to be trifled with; she originally wanted to respond, but noticed someone listening from a makeshift house in the yard and swallowed her words.
