Chapter 222: Mother Liu
“Hello, Father Guan and Mother Rong.”
The men from the Liu family greeted the Guan family and the rest during the new year. The younger generation greeted the elders. People of the same generation nodded to each other. Father Liu also addressed Father Guan as ‘Old Guan.’ Mother Liu addressed Mother Rong as ‘Sister-in-law Guan.’
Ye Lulu happened to be walking around the courtyard with Eldest sister-in-law Guan and Second sister-in-law Guan, each carrying a baby.
Ye Lulu happened to be present when the Liu family came knocking on their door.
After the Liu family greeted them, they started chatting politely with the Guan family.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, it was strange… There was nothing to talk about at all. Therefore, they only tried to find topics. The Liu family members were thinking hard.
Although the Guan family did not know why they had come to their house and even started chatting like this… they still chatted awkwardly with the whole family.
It had to be said that the Liu family was comparable to the Guan family. There were many men, and because they had already married, there were more people.
The Guan family’s courtyard was filled with people.
As there were too many people… the main house could not contain them and they could not sit down to talk.
“Happy new year.” The youngest child of the Liu family became speechless after telling Father Guan and the rest some New Year greetings. However, at this moment, Mother Liu looked at Guan Chibei and then at Ye Lulu. She did not say anything to the two of them but took a step towards Mother Rong.
Mother Liu was a little stupid. She was certain that the Guan family would be her in-laws in the future. Now, she treated the Guan family as her in-laws. She suddenly said to Mother Rong,
“Elder Sister should be happier often. Eldest Brother is steady, and Second Brother is diligent. Sixth Brother is capable, so only Fifth Brother is left. However, Fifth Brother’s personality is also good. More people will find matchmakers next year. If he’s in a hurry, just find someone to ask on his behalf.”
The ‘Eldest Brother’ Mother Liu was talking about was Eldest Brother Guan, the quietest and most stable Guan Chidong. ‘Second Brother,’ ‘Fifth Brother,’ and ‘Sixth Brother’ were naturally Guan Chinan, Guan Chixi, and Guan Chibei.
The problem was that this was how the Guan family addressed them. Outside, the villagers all addressed the Guan family as uncles.
They could call him Dongzi or Eldest Brother Guan if they were close.
No matter what, they would not address the Guan family as such.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt was like how no matter how old the children were, their parents would always be used to calling them Eldest Brother or Second Brother. Mother Liu’s way of addressing them was equivalent to Father Guan and Mother Rong’s roles.
… This was usually the case before the in-laws entered the same camp.
Therefore, after Mother Liu said that, the Guan family fell silent. Their expressions were a little surprised and their reactions were odd.
… Why did Mother Liu’s words… feel so strange?
Moreover, her tone of speaking to Mother Rong sounded like comforting words between a family.
Usually, outsiders who were not familiar with each other… would not mention the brothers in each family one by one and talk about their situations, right?
After Mother Rong was stunned for a moment, she replied in a strange manner, “Ah… Yes, I will. I’m usually quite happy and I’m not worried.”
Mother Liu didn’t know what was wrong with her. She nodded and said, “That’s how it should be. As parents, how can we stop working for our children? If anything happens on your side and you need help, remember to ask Chibei to call for us. Those few from my family will come over immediately. We’re from the same village, so it’s indeed convenient to take care of each other.”
