All of this was for Little Huzi; Yunâs mother had no choice but to compromise.
The following day was a good one, a wonderful day for Yun Mingruiâs full month celebration.
Little Huzi was dressed in all red, with a belly band and red trousers.
Yun Hai and Yun Lei, the two brothers, came early to lend a hand.
Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Fang finished their chores at home and came to help too.
Yun Hai and Yun Lei went door-to-door inviting guests while setting up the tables.
âDad, mom, third brother and sister.â
Upon seeing her daughter-in-laws arriving, Yunâs mother took out the meat and started catching some chickens.
Zhang Cuihuaâs face fell when she saw Yunâs mother catch ten chickens at once.
Zhao Fang noticed it too.
When they celebrated their sonsâ full moon, the party was not this grand.
Along with twenty pounds of meat, there were now ten chickens involved.
Meng Yunhan went to check on the child, leaving only three people in the kitchen.
âMom, one or two chickens would suffice.â
Before this, Zhao Fang would normally agree, but this time she felt uncomfortable seeing her mother-in-law with ten chickens and objected, âIndeed, one or two chickens are enough, donât we already have so much meat?â
Seeing her two daughters-in-law saying so, Yunâs motherâs face would have soured if it were not for her grandsonâs full moon celebration.
Those chickens were bought by Hanhan.
They werenât our chickens alone, right?
Why shouldnât they all be slaughtered?
âToday, these ten chickens must be slaughtered.â
Zhang Cuihua was even more displeased, âMom, when my eldest son had his full moon party, you didnât even throw one. Now for Little Huzi, not only is there meat, you are even slaughtering chickens, ten of them.â
Zhao Fang glanced, âMom, letâs not kill these chickens, we have enough meat already.â
Yunâs mother examined them, âHanhan prepared this meat and these chickens.â
Both Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Fang didnât want to discuss it further.
âMom, Little Huzi is still breastfeeding, how could Hanhan have gone to town? Mom, if you need to make up excuses, make a good one.â
Zhang Cuihua, who almost believed Yunâs motherâs words, now swiftly rejected this seeing her sister-in-lawâs reminder.
âIt really was Hanhan who bought it.â Yunâs motherâs face looked tense.
âMom, letâs just slaughter one or two chickens.â Zhao Fang insisted, smiling all the while.
Since Meng Yunhan was going to cook at noon and was now putting Little Huzi to sleep, she was about to help in the kitchen.
As she was walking to the kitchen, Zhao Fang, who had sharp eyes, spotted her.
âHanhan, come, come.â
Meng Yunhan felt that the atmosphere in the kitchen was a bit off. After scanning the room a few times, she felt something was not right.
What happened?
âHanhan, did mom say that you bought this meat and these chickens?â Zhao Fang directly questioned Meng Yunhan.
Hanhan clearly has a breastfeeding baby at home, how could she possibly leave him to go to town?
Moreover, not everyone could buy this meat, even if they could, it would have cost a lot.
Although Hanhan has an allowance every month, Little Huzi was born not long ago, even if she has money, she couldnât be so extravagant, so these chickens must have been raised at home by their mother-in-law.
Hanhan was in her confinement period, although she didnât have chicken every two days, she had eggs for each meal, right?
When she came to visit Little Huzi, she saw that their mother-in-law put two eggs in Hanhanâs bowl.
She remembered that when she was in her confinement period, she only had one egg per meal.
