"For him not to go astray in the future, you must change his nature; after all, he is the eldest grandson of our Zhao Family!"
Xiaoxiao spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, deliberately highlighting the consequence.
And Captain Zhao, being smart enough to have become the team leader, undoubtedly understood the underlying meaning of her words.
It seemed he had underestimated Laosan's wife, whose rhetoric was quite formidable.
Laoer's wife falling into her trap didn't seem so strange now.
Indeed, Laoer's wife had been relying on the fact that Da Shu was their eldest grandson and had been acting arrogantly, bullying the other grandsons.
"Yes, we'll supervise his improvement; I need to go to work now."
Captain Zhao also went off to work.
But Mrs. Zhao did not leave.
Instead, she looked at Da Bao with compassion.
She also noticed the new clothes the two grandsons were wearing.
Had Laosan's wife actually made new clothes and even new shoes for Da Bao?
It seemed she had also bathed them; there was a fragrance coming from them.
The soap Xiaoxiao bought had a fresh scent.
"Grandma, have some candy," Xiao Bao offered a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket to Mrs. Zhao.
Mrs. Zhao paused for a moment at this. White Rabbit milk candy?
Did Laosan's wife even have this candy?
"Grandma doesn't like candy; Xiao Bao, you eat it."
As Xiaoxiao finished tidying up the yard, she turned around and witnessed this entire scene.
Only then did Mrs. Zhao look toward Xiaoxiao, feeling mixed emotions toward this daughter-in-law of Laosan.
Back when her youngest son was nothing but a hooligan, managing to marry the most beautiful Educated Youth from the Educated Youth Institution was a delight for her.
Mrs. Zhao's lips moved a few times as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she swallowed her words.
"Mother, my natal family sent me some food; I'll go get it. Xiao Bao, close the door."
Was she planning to give it to her?
Xiao Bao immediately scurried to close the door.
Mrs. Zhao planned to go home, but with everything else being so busy, she decided to do some housework at home. After seeing Da Bao and Xiao Bao, she planned to return.
She mixed a bowl for each of them.
"I don't want this; let Da Bao drink more," Xiao Bao said.
"It's already mixed; just wait for it to cool down a bit, then you can drink it."
The smell of milk wafted through the air.
"The other day, I felt unwell, and it was mother who took care of Da Bao and Xiao Bao."
The two young ones sat in front of the bowls of milk powder, eyes fixated on the steaming mixture, swallowing saliva.
"Mother, this is a new type of egg cake; try it."
When had Laosan's wife become so generous?
"You were unwell these past few days?"
A few days ago, when Da Bao and Xiao Bao had come to eat at her house, she was aware of it; she had thought that Laosan's wife was unwilling to feed the two young ones.
"Yes, I had a cold and a fever..."
"Grandma, this egg cake is really tasty."
Mrs. Zhao made no pretense of politeness, drinking the milk powder and eating the egg cake.
"Laoer's wife won't let this go; be careful," Mrs. Zhao knew Laoer's wife well.
Of the Zhao family's three sons, Mrs. Zhao favored Laosan the most, and thus she also had a fondness for the well-behaved Da Bao and Xiao Bao.
"Alright, I should go back now."
Mrs. Zhao planned to bring back a dozen eggs for Da Bao to nourish him.
He had lost so much blood.
Although Laosan's wife had quite a bit of food, it was still her own.
After seeing Mrs. Zhao off, Xiaoxiao told the two young boys to go back to their room to lie down and temporarily forbade them from going outside to play.
But the fight between Da Shu's mother and Xiaoxiao had become the talk of the team by noon.
"Educated Youth Yun fought with Da Shu's mother and actually won."
Da Shu's mother was somewhat of a shrew.
