"Our family doesn't care about these red tapes... Wouldn't it be better if you didn't have to say hello?" Luo Rui asked with some doubts. Although he had not experienced all kinds of interactions between mothers-in-law, he thought that no daughter-in-law would be willing to have a big marriage.

He got up early to greet his mother-in-law and serve her. Moreover, Xu Shichu was only his stepmother.

"No, I'm just worried that if people find out, they will think that I am disrespectful and unfilial..." Qin Mei said carefully.

"How can outsiders control the affairs of our house? And the step-wife hopes that we won't bother her, so you don't have to worry about these things." Luo Rui said patiently. He didn't know why his wife kept discussing this matter with him.

, can’t she just do what she says? Why explore too much.

Qin Mei noticed her husband's impatience and finally shut up.

Xu Shichu originally thought that having an extra step-daughter-in-law would not hinder her, but she never expected that Qin Mei was a "filial" person. Although she listened to Luo Rui's words and did not greet her morning and night, she started to visit her during the day.

"Madam, the young lady is outside and wants to see you for something." Zhichun came back and told Xu Shichu.

Xu Shichu was teasing Du Zhao with fruits when he suddenly heard these words and became confused: "Why is she coming to me? Forget it, let her come in."

After all, she was a new daughter-in-law, so Xu Shichu couldn't refuse her contact from the beginning.

Qin Mei followed the leading maid into Xu Shichu's courtyard, and what she saw was flowers blooming everywhere. It was like entering a fairyland, which made people feel refreshed and lightened, and all the dirty thoughts in their bodies were swept away.

"It is indeed the garden of the Prime Minister's wife who filled the capital of the Ming Dynasty..." Qin Mei's eyes widened in amazement at the words in the garden, and she couldn't help but sigh. The maids she brought with her were also shocked by the various exotic flowers and plants.

.

Qin Mei remembered that when she and her brother were strolling on the streets of Beijing, they once passed by a flower shop called "Baihua Pavilion", which was filled with all kinds of rare and beautiful flowers.

She also forgot to turn her eyes when looking at it. When she went in to look, she found that she could hardly afford every pot of flowers there... Although she couldn't afford it, she could still appreciate it. At that time, she lamented that one day

If she can buy a pot of flowers from the "Baihua Pavilion", she will be satisfied!

And now, the owner of Baihua Pavilion is her mother-in-law... Qin Mei's heart became hot when she thought of this fact, especially when she saw the flowers in the yard that were too big for the eyes to see, her heart beat even harder - no woman would

Don't like flowers.

"The step-wife is really amazing. She can grow so many exotic flowers and herbs." Qin Mei said in amazement, even her steps slowed down.

The maid who led the way had long been accustomed to seeing guests being dazzled by these flowers, so she proudly said: "Our lady is naturally powerful. No matter how rare and difficult to grow flowers are, there is no flower that cannot survive in her hands."

"

Seeing that Qin Mei could hardly walk, the maid said very understandingly: "If you like it, Madam, you can tell Madam and you can stay and enjoy it later."

"Okay, I will definitely appreciate it. I have never seen many flowers here." Qin Mei said happily, and walked quickly, hoping to finish the "emotional" contact with Xu Shichu early so that she could enjoy the flowers.

"Mom, the flowers in your yard are growing so beautifully. My daughter-in-law immediately fell in love with them. I wonder if my daughter-in-law can watch them?" Qin Mei and Xu Shichu exchanged a few pleasantries before making her request.

Xu Shichu raised her eyebrows. She was not stingy about letting people admire her flowers, but she was worried that someone would not find enough after admiring them and would like to keep them for herself.

However, Qin Mei shouldn't be so shameless, right? Xu Shichu thought uncertainly, but still agreed to let her go to enjoy the flowers.

"Auntie, pick strawberries!" Xiao Zhaozhao raised his chubby face and said to Xu Shichu with a smile.

In addition to planting flowers, Xu Shichu also planted some fruits. Strawberry was one of them, but not many were planted, so if you wanted to eat strawberries, you had to wait.

Little Fatty thought about eating strawberries every day. Even if the strawberries were not yet ripe, he would ask his maid to hold his hand and go take a look at them every day.

"The strawberries aren't ripe yet, so why are you picking them?" Xu Shichu rubbed the little chubby face, "You pick the ripe ones when they are ripe. How can there be any ripe ones now?"

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Zhaozhao's chubby face was rubbed until he pouts, but his small mouth still said firmly, "Yesterday, half of them were already cooked yesterday!"

"Half cooked?" Xu Shichu couldn't help laughing, "Half cooked yesterday, will the remaining half be cooked today?"

"Yes." Little Fatty nodded matter-of-factly.

"Okay, I'll let you go and see if it's ripe." Xu Shichu picked up the heavy little guy and walked to the small patch of land where the strawberries were planted.

Little Fatty smiled happily, put his short fat arms around Xu Shichu's neck, and said affectionately in her ear: "Auntie, when we pick the strawberries, I will share half of them for you to eat!"

Xu Shichu was amused by him: "Only half? I asked someone to grow these strawberries."

The little fat man suddenly frowned and said with difficulty: "Then, give one more to aunt?"

"Just one more?" Xu Shichu said pretending to be unhappy.

"Two more! No more! If more, I won't have any..." Xiao Zhaozhao said with a sad face, his flesh ached, as if giving two more strawberries to Xu Shichu was like digging out his flesh.

Xu Shichu was amused by his distressed expression, and finally said with conscience, "Forget it, my aunt won't rob you, just give me half."

"Thank you, aunt!" When Xiao Zhaozhao heard this, he immediately smiled.

When the aunt and nephew arrived at the strawberry field, Xu Shichu saw at first glance that not many of the strawberries were red.

Xiao Zhaozhao obviously saw it too. He walked around the strawberry field with eyes full of disappointment, raised his little head, and said to Xu Shichu in frustration: "Auntie, there are so few..."

"Who asked you to think about picking them all day long? You will eat every ripe one. You are lucky to have a few ripe ones now." Xu Shichu teased.

Little Fatty had no choice but to pick the ripe strawberries in disappointment, hold them in his little chubby hands, and then share them equally with Xu Shichu one by one.

The aunt and nephew shared the strawberries, and Xiao Zhaozhao played for a while and then went to take a nap.

Xu Shichu also wanted to take a nap, but unfortunately there was Qin Mei in her yard.

"Go and ask the young madam how long you want to admire it. If it takes a long time, I will take a nap first." Xu Shichu sent the maid to ask Qin Mei.

After a while, the maid came back and said that the young lady would like to admire it for a long time and asked her to go to sleep.

Xu Shichu was not polite to his cheap daughter-in-law and actually went to bed.

When she woke up, she saw an excited Qin Mei shyly asking her expectantly: "Mom, can you give me some flowers? There are many flowers planted in the yard, so it shouldn't be a problem to give me some...
