Daughter's Portable Space

Chapter 494

Once Lei'er becomes self-willed, there's nothing anyone can do about it.

It was impossible for Luo Yunrui to let her go to Luo's house at such a time. In desperation, she had to think of a compromise, which was to call Brother Rui over.The Luo family is quite close to the Zhang family, and even closer to the place where Brother Rui went to the Yamen.He quickly sent a servant to find Brother Rui and asked him to come to Zhang's house at night.It was precisely because of this that Luo Yunrui had to go back a little later, lest Lei'er would get angry again.

As a result, when it was almost time for lunch, the little maid came to report that the aunt of the Zhang family had returned.

The aunt of the Zhang family is also Lei'er's eldest sister. When I heard that she was here, let alone Luo Yunrui, even Lei'er looked surprised: "Where is the eldest sister now? Can you tell me?" come over?"

The servant girl replied, now she is at the old lady of the Zhang family, and she probably came back after lunch.

Lei'er didn't say anything else, but just ordered the maid to have lunch: "Sister, my husband won't come back at noon today, my mother-in-law will probably accompany my elder sister, and you are the only one who will accompany me for dinner."

"What are you talking about so pitifully? By the way, where's Fat Brother? Is he taking food supplements now?"

"Of course, he eats a lot, he has a lot of milk, and then he eats a big bowl of mush every morning, noon and night. Didn't you see it just now? It's thanks to my foresight that he became so fat , and gave him an appropriate nickname." Lei'er's embarrassed expression made Luo Yunrui speechless for a while: "However, the fat guy doesn't eat with me. He is very hungry and sleepy. It’s fast, I’m probably full and ready to go to bed by now.”

"Then your eldest sister..."

"Oh, didn't I just say that? Her body and bones have not been well maintained. I guess it has something to do with her mood. Anyway, when I saw her during the Chinese New Year, she was thin and out of shape. She must be I will come to see Fat Brother, and you will know about it when the time comes."

What Lei'er said was right, after they had lunch and rested for an hour, the aunt of the Zhang family came over.

Luo Yunrui knew about this incident a long time ago, and she also heard Lei'er talk about Mrs. Zhang's recent situation, but when she saw clearly who was coming, she was still taken aback.

In my impression, Mrs. Zhang's aunt should be a round woman with an excellent appearance. She doesn't look like a merchant's lady in her gestures. She looks like a noble lady.But now?The whole person is too thin, because the weather has turned cold now, and she is wearing a lot of clothes, but she can't see her real figure, but her hands are like an old woman in her sixties, dry and full of wrinkles, Where does she look like a young woman?Looking at her face again, the original pretty face has suddenly faded, the deep-set eyes are full of bruises, the corners of the mouth are drooping, and she looks sad.

"Big aunt, the fat guy won't wake up for a while, I'll ask a little maid to watch over him, and bring him over as soon as he wakes up, okay?"

Compared to Luo Yunrui's suppressed surprise, Lei'er's reaction was extremely normal.Thinking about it, when she saw Mrs. Zhang's Aunt earlier, the latter had already become like this.In fact, what Luo Yunrui didn't know was that Lei'er was also extremely surprised.Counting it, Lei'er hasn't seen Mrs. Zhang's Aunt for a long time. The last time I saw her was during the Chinese New Year, but that time it was obvious that Mrs. Zhang's Aunt was not in the same situation as she is now.

Fortunately, Lei'er suppressed her astonishment very quickly, and Mrs. Zhang's aunt was also in a daze, but she didn't look so carefully.

"It's okay, just let him sleep well."

Mrs. Zhang's Auntie's voice is very gentle, she is a woman as weak as water.It's not as flamboyant as Lei'er, nor as calm as Luo Yunrui, nor as cowardly as Qin Xi.In the past, there was a natural charm in her gestures, coupled with her good looks, she was definitely the focus of everyone at the banquet.

Unfortunately, that's just the past.

"Mrs. Qin's family is here too. I heard from my mother." Mrs. Zhang's aunt smiled at Luo Yunrui, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, it only seemed to have a hint of sadness.

Luo Yunrui didn't take it seriously either, she knew very well that Mrs Zhang's aunt was not targeting her, so she smiled and started gossiping right away.That's what the women said when they met.If it's an unmarried girl's family, it's usually just talking about clothes, jewelry, women's celebrities, those who have a good relationship, and maybe occasionally mentioning a thought about the future husband.But if it's a married woman, then the only topic left is her husband and children.

Just like when Luo Yunrui met Lei'er and Qin Xi, the topic mostly revolved around children, but for Mrs. Zhang's aunt, children were a taboo topic.For a while, Luo Yunrui had no choice but to use Lei'er as the topic, and began to tease her.

In front of Mrs. Zhang's aunt, Lei'er didn't mind Luo Yunrui making fun of her. She also knew that she had a lot of things to talk about with her eldest aunt. Fortunately, Fat Brother woke up not long after, which relieved the boredom atmosphere of.

"Lei'er, just hold it and let me see it." I don't want to, after the fat brother came over, Mrs. Zhang's aunt didn't pick it up at all.

"What's the matter? Eldest sister dislikes the fat man and gained weight again?" Lei'er took the fat man from the nanny, but put him on her lap instead of holding him.After all, Lei'er still has scruples, Fat Brother is not light, if he is hugged in his arms, he is still worried that he will hurt the child in his stomach.

"How can it be? It's just that my illness hasn't healed since last year. Isn't it because I'm worried about my illness?" Mrs. Zhang's aunt looked at Fat Brother very kindly, and this was the only thing she faced. There will be a sincere smile on the face.

Don't look at Fat Guy who can eat and sleep, but in fact he is not restless at all.Now that she has eaten enough and slept enough, her energy level is good, she can't sit still in Lei'er's arms, her chubby hands keep pointing outside, and she insists on going out to play while babbling.Lei'er has always loved Fat Brother very much, and she also has a restless temperament, so she glanced at Aunt Zhang's family apologetically: "Eldest aunt, why don't we go for a walk in the garden?"

"It's done."

This is done, but Fat Brother is a bit difficult to handle.In fact, Lei'er hadn't told Aunt Zhang about her pregnancy, it wasn't because she lied on purpose, but because the old lady of the Zhang family couldn't bear to put another pinch of salt in her heart.Therefore, Lei'er hesitated a little, fearing that giving the fat man to the nanny would make Mrs. Zhang's aunt suspicious. If she asked, Lei'er would have to answer.

Luo Yunrui saw these things in her eyes, and sighed silently for Mrs. Zhang's family, but she looked happy on the face: "Fat brother, let aunt give me a hug? Come on, so good."

Fat guy has a good temper, as long as someone takes him to play, he is happy, and it doesn't matter who that person is.He is still far from recognizing life, or in other words, with Fat Brother's temperament, he may not be very good at recognizing life even when he grows up.

Mrs. Zhang's aunt did not become suspicious, but looked at Fat Brother with a smile.

Although he just went for a walk in the garden, the fat guy was very happy. While teasing him, Luo Yunrui thought that when the fat guy grows up, he can play with Hao brother.At that time, if there is a banquet at home, the children can make up a table.

"Fat guy really looks different every day. I haven't seen him for so many days. He really has gained weight several times." Although Mrs. Zhang's aunt subconsciously moved away from the fat guy, her eyes never left her.Although these words are very common, the loneliness and envy in her tone are so obvious.

"Isn't it? This fat boy is really annoying. By the way, elder sister, Brother Rui told me last time that my brother-in-law was promoted? Is there such a thing?" Lei'er seemed to not understand at all. , still smiling and talking to Mrs. Zhang's aunt, but not deliberately talking around Fat Brother.

"Yes, he's been promoted again." It should have been a happy event, but looking at Mrs. Zhang's wife's expression, it seemed that there was no joy.

Luo Yunrui didn't quite understand it at first, but after thinking about it carefully, she understood.The aunt of Zhang's family was originally married to a high-ranking family, as the daughter of a merchant married to a family of military generals.Although this dynasty puts more emphasis on literature than military, military generals still have a much higher status than merchants.What's more, Mrs. Zhang's wife's husband has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he has the status of a champion. The marriage was definitely sought after by Mrs. Zhang's wife.

In fact, it doesn't matter if Mrs. Zhang's aunt is high-ranking if she is a high-married girl and low-pitched daughter-in-law.Like Luo Yunrui, why wasn't she a high climber back then?
Before getting married, even if there was family status, after getting married, it is mainly the husband's family, and the mother's family is not particularly important.However, after Gao married, the most important thing was to give birth to a son immediately. Luo Yunrui hadn't given birth for three years, so she was under great pressure, but what about Mrs. Zhang's aunt?

She should be six or seven years younger than Luo Yunrui, but Luo Yunrui was actually only married because of Qin Shaotian's filial piety.But it is popular in Beijing to marry girls early, and Mrs. Zhang's aunt did not marry very early, but she married after she was 15 years old.In this way, she has been married for many years.But I don't know if her husband has a concubine room?

While thinking about it silently, a little servant girl walked towards them quickly, but told Lei'er that Brother Rui had arrived in her yard.

In fact, it stands to reason that Brother Rui, a grown-up outsider, cannot enter the back house of Zhang's family.But the Zhang family didn't pay much attention to rules, and the Zhang family had a simple population, and Brother Rui was Lei'er's younger brother, so he was let in.

After learning about Brother Rui's arrival, Lei'er immediately wanted to go back. After all, this garden is a must whenever she visits, but she and Brother Rui haven't seen each other for more than a month: "Eldest aunt... "

"Okay, let's go back together."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the group of them reached the gate of Lei'er's courtyard, Brother Rui's voice full of ridicule came out: "I said, second sister, it's all right for you to make a fuss on weekdays, why are you pregnant? Don’t stop? Wouldn’t it be good to stay in the house safely and raise the baby, and just run around.”
