The younger ones in the house immediately called out to Yun Xiaoxiao upon seeing her.
Both Da Shu and Xiao Shu obediently called out as well, not daring to do otherwise because their uncle was watching them.
Today, the Zhao Family had quite a number of visitors.
Yun Xiaoxiao also spotted the families of her eldest and Second Sister-in-law.
"Who is that girl? Is she married? She would be a good match for my nephew," said Da Shu’s mother’s elder sister, who, upon seeing Yun Xiaoxiao, asked.
Why hadn’t Da Shu’s mother’s sister seen Yun Xiaoxiao before?
Of course, it was because Yun Xiaoxiao had not attended the feast for Xiao Shu’s full-month celebration.
"That’s your younger aunt’s Rahui; she’s married already, with two children."
My younger aunt’s Rahui?
The wife of that good-for-nothing younger aunt?
But she didn’t look like she had given birth.
Instead, she looked more like a city girl.
"She was an Educated Youth who went to the countryside."
Now Da Shu’s mother’s elder sister finally understood why the other looked like an unmarried girl.
On the other hand, Yun Xiaoxiao was oblivious to all this, finding a place to sit and wait for the banquet to begin.
Had it not been for the housewarming celebration of her eldest and second brothers, Yun Xiaoxiao wouldn’t have come over.
The scrutinizing glances around her made it impossible for her to ignore them.
"How do I feel that Educated Youth Yun looks even prettier after not seeing her for a while?"
"Otherwise, how could she have ensnared Zhao Laosan into not letting her work the fields?"
"Keep your voice down, if Zhao Laosan hears us, he’s sure to settle the score with us."
The people who had been discussing earlier immediately fell silent.
They had come to the Zhao Family to attend the feast and didn’t want to provoke Zhao Laosan.
"Wife, come sit over here," Zhao Tianlei wasn’t worried about the little ones, but since his wife had come to the old house and was sitting alone, she seemed too lonely; he felt a pang of heartache for her instantly.
"Aren’t you entertaining the guests?"
Zhao Tianlei looked around and said, "Today, it’s the eldest brother and second brother who are the stars of the show."
The two households were hosting a housewarming event; they entertained their respective relatives.
Zhao Tianlei planned to accompany his wife during the meal and then head home; it wasn’t his family’s housewarming. The relatives who had come were familiar to him, and even more so to his elder brothers.
"Laosan, I heard you’ve gone out to make money, taking our cousin with you?" Suddenly, a man in his thirties approached and started this conversation upon seeing Zhao Tianlei.
This was the second son from Zhao Tianlei’s maternal uncle’s family, and they weren’t too far from their production team.
"Second cousin, I don’t know who told you that, but I’m not even aware that I’m making money. If I had been making money, I’d definitely take my wife to live in the town first thing, it’s unfair to her living in the village."
This second cousin glanced at Yun Xiaoxiao, knowing that this Educated Youth daughter-in-law was delicate. She hadn’t worked the fields since marrying his younger cousin.
Now she even looked prettier than city girls.
Keeping such a wife required real talent.
"Second cousin, is there anything else?" With his wife being stared at, Zhao Tianlei slightly narrowed his eyes and swept them towards the other man.
The second cousin shuddered, not daring to look at them any longer, "No, nothing," he said quickly.
He hurried away. No matter how handsome this young cousin was, he was still a no-good. Even if he went out to earn money, how much could he really make?
Although college entrance exams had been restored, business operations were not yet officially open in the towns, and those who did business on the sly were still sneaking around.
"Hey, eldest aunt, your daughter-in-law doesn’t even acknowledge people," said Mrs. Zhao’s sister-in-law, who, upon seeing Yun Xiaoxiao, didn’t see her acknowledging anyone; even just a glance had passed her by, treating her, the aunt, as a stranger.
