Ye Lulu said, “Immediately, now, scram!”
Ye Lulu laughed coldly. “Do you think you can come to my house to enjoy life just because you’re stupid? Get lost! I’m telling you now, I don’t agree with you coming to my house for confinement, so get lost immediately! This is the first time I’ve seen such a retard.”
“Don’t scold people.”
However, it was unknown if Madam Meng-Li had spoken very reasonably for herself or if she was really stupid. She even revealed an unhappy expression and said to Ye Lulu,
“How can you scold people as you wish? I’m not taking advantage of your family. It’s just that we’re both in confinement. We’re both women and young daughters-in-law. The children we gave birth to are also sons. Isn’t it good to go through confinement together? If the children can be taken care of together, they can eat and drink together. Isn’t that very convenient?”
“You’re not related to our family at all! Even if it’s convenient, it’s only your family who benefits. Who are you to go crazy at our Guan family?” Ye Lulu immediately scolded back. It was obvious that she could not stand it anymore. Following that, her face darkened. Her patience with her had thinned. She said coldly, “I’ll say this one last time. Get lost. Carry your child and leave immediately.”
Madam Meng-Li looked at her unhappily. “How can you be like this! Aren’t we from the same village? What’s wrong with doing our confinement together? It seems to be very difficult for you. If I don’t go through confinement with you, don’t you have to go through confinement by yourself?”
Thinking of how poor the Meng family was and how there was not even a blanket on the bed, Madam Meng-Li pouted.
She had nothing to do with the Guan family before. The Meng family and her own family, the Li family, had never had any contact with the Guan family. She had never spoken to the Guan family before either.
However, weren’t they from the same village? How could they not know each other?
The Meng family knew that Madam Meng-Li came over to Ye Lulu’s house today.
She had seen the life Ye Lulu was leading on the day of the Guan family’s triplets’ one-month-old celebration. She also knew that the Guan family had Guan Chibei hunting and thus, could eat a lot of meat.
Today, Madam Meng-Li was in the Meng family during her confinement period. It was not enough to keep her warm and she did not eat well. Besides feeling a little uncomfortable, she suddenly thought of Ye Lulu’s life and felt that it was good.
She immediately recalled that she had given birth to a child around the same time as Ye Lulu. The child was so young, so why couldn’t she go over and do confinement with Ye Lulu?
She might as well go to the Guan family and spend her confinement period with Ye Lulu. That way, she could eat and drink with Ye Lulu and live in Ye Lulu’s warm house.
Even her son would have the Guan family to take care of him. There was nothing inappropriate!
Then, she would no longer have to go through confinement in the Meng family. The Meng family was too poor and had nothing. That way, she would not be able to do confinement well. Then, she should go to the Guan family to go through confinement with Ye Lulu and recuperate.
Madam Meng-Li was ‘very smart’ to have thought of this method. She immediately told her husband about it. After telling her husband, she also told the rest of the Meng family about it.
The Meng family was slightly shocked, but after hearing what Madam Meng-Li said about it being ‘by the way’ and ‘benefits,’ they fell silent. The Guan family did not stop her from coming over, so the Meng family basically agreed to this.
This way, Madam Meng-Li felt that there was no problem at all. Since the Meng family did not object to her doing so, she could easily carry the newborn child and walk over to the Guan family.
No matter how Madam Meng-Li thought about it, she could not think of anything inappropriate.
Wasn’t that the most appropriate?
