Chapter 217 Liu Pan Returns to Her Mother's Home
Liu Pandi woke up from a nap. It was just dawn. She got up, prepared breakfast, and said to Uncle Shen, "I'm going back to my mother's home."
Uncle Shen knew what kind of people the Liu family was like. She was pregnant and wanted to go back to her parents' home to ask the Liu family to vomit out the food. Uncle Shen was worried.
"You know what kind of people your mother's family is like. You can't get any good results if you go back alone. Don't go back. You are pregnant now, and the road is covered with snow, so it's hard to walk. What if you slip and fall?"
"I am not the Liu Pandi of the past. I have brains. Don't underestimate me. Wait for me at home. The sooner I go, the sooner I will be back."
The woman finally came to her senses and stopped listening to her family. Now she is pregnant and wants to go back to her family to ask for something. Uncle Shen is very worried.
"Don't go, just stay at home."
Uncle Shen didn't let her go. He watched her eat breakfast, then pulled her back to the room and didn't let her go out.
Liu Pandi: “…” Liu Pandi feels that her man is now a stumbling block on her road to success.
He just controls her every day, not letting her do this or that.
Liu Pandi did not give up the idea of going back to her parents' home to ask for things. When Uncle Shen San fell asleep, she rushed out of the fence like a pig that had just been released from the pen, and ran out of the Shen family's yard in a flash.
Shen Chunling was washing clothes in the yard when she felt a figure passing by. She looked up but the figure was gone.
"Cui Cui, did something just float past me?"
Zhang Cuicui, "It's Liu Pandi."
Shen Chunling: “…” Why are you running so fast with such a big belly?
Shen Chunling was worried about her, so she put down the clothes in her hands, walked out the door, and wanted to tell her to slow down, but when she looked up, she was gone.
Shen Chunling thought she had gone out for something urgent, so she turned back to the yard to wash clothes.
Liu Pandi has really grown smarter now. When she arrived at Liujia Village, she did not rush back to her parents' home, but went to a place where the villagers often chatted.
"Yeah, everyone is warming themselves by the fire."
"Pan Di is back, why didn't your husband come back with you? Your mother was still talking about you two the other day."
"My husband is at home making a rocking chair for the children. He knows my mother misses me, so he comes back to see them as soon as he has time. My mother said she saved 15 eggs for me and asked me to come back to get them."
"Oh, your mother is really good to you. She saved eggs for you before you even gave birth."
Liu Pan touched her belly and said, "Auntie, I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going home."
She had just taken two steps when the woman who was warming herself by the fire in the corner patted her butt and stood up. "Pan Di, you are pregnant, the snow is thick, and it is still a long way from your home. We are worried about you walking alone, so we will take you home."
Being reassured was just an excuse. Mainly, they wanted to see if the people from Old Liu's family would give eggs to Pan to watch.
Old Mrs. Liu talks about how good she is to her daughters every day, but they have never seen anyone in the Liu family give anything to the Liu daughters. On the contrary, the Liu daughters, after getting married, bring back gifts from their husband's home every now and then.
"That's great, thank you for troubling me, Auntie."
Liu Pandi and a group of aunts arrived at the Liu family. Before they even entered the door, Liu Pandi shouted, "Mom and Dad, I'm back."
"..."
The yard was quiet and no one came out to greet her.
A kind-hearted lady called out, "Liu Laosan, Liu Pozi, I hope I can come back to see you."
After a while, there was a noise in the house. Old Lady Liu opened the door and came out. She saw a group of old women in the yard. She felt something was wrong.
The look in Liu Pan's eyes was sharper than a knife, but it only lasted for a moment. The Liu family was a family in the village that loved their daughters. Old Mrs. Liu smiled kindly.
"Pan Di is back, why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could ask your brother and your younger brother to pick you up."
Her mother is good at pretending, and Liu Pan is even better at pretending than her mother. "Mom, it's cold, I was afraid you would catch a cold, so I came back to see you.
By the way, take the eggs you saved for me, so that you don't have to deliver them to me. It's so cold, and I feel uncomfortable asking you to take them to me."
"Eggs? What eggs?"
"Mom, you forgot that you said you saved fifteen eggs for me."
Old Lady Liu: “…”
Old Lady Liu understood that this damn girl came to ask for eggs.
If she had come back alone, she would have scolded Liu Pandi and kicked him out. But today she came back with a group of nosy old ladies. If she scolded Liu Pandi and didn't give her eggs, the villagers might gossip about the Liu family behind their backs.
Old Lady Liu didn't want to take out the eggs, but she also didn't want these old ladies to think that she didn't love her daughter, so she forced a smile and said, "I've only been collecting eggs for a few days, so there's not enough to fill a basket yet. When I have enough eggs, I'll bring them over to you."
"A basket of eggs is very heavy. I can't let you carry it all the way. I'm back today, so I'll take it back."
Old Lady Liu: "I, your mother, work every day and can even carry a sack. How can a basket of eggs be so heavy? How dare you, kid, joke around like that?"
"Mom, the eggs are in the house, I'll go get them." Liu Pandi ignored her and went into her parents' house. Normally, no one dared to enter Old Man Liu and Old Lady Liu's house without their permission, so their cabinets for storing food were not locked.
As soon as Liu Pandi opened the cupboard, he saw a basket of eggs. Liu Pandi took it out directly, "Mom, I didn't expect you to save so many eggs for me. You are so kind."
The older women who came with them also praised, "Old lady Liu, it seems your family really loves your daughter. There must be at least thirty eggs in this basket."
"Don't blame your daughter for being so filial to you. You two old people love your daughter so much, it would be strange if she wasn't filial."
The old ladies kept praising Old Lady Liu, and Old Lady Liu couldn't even get angry with Liu Pan.
I could only maintain my smile and said, "As parents, we just want our children to eat better. Now that you are so old and pregnant, you have to eat better."
Old Lady Liu held on to the basket of eggs and refused to let go. "Look, the eggs are heavy. I'll send them home for you tomorrow."
Tomorrow, I'm afraid there won't be even a single eggshell left. Liu Pandi calmly pried open her mother's hand and strode out of the Liu family yard. "Mom, I'm leaving. I'll come to see you tomorrow."
Afraid that her family members would come out to chase the eggs, Liu Pandi walked very quickly.
A large basket of eggs was taken away by Liu Pandi. Old lady Liu was heartbroken. She had saved eggs for more than a month and wanted to take them to the supply and marketing cooperative to exchange for some oil and salt. Her son and grandson wanted to eat them, but she refused. The money-loser came and took away her eggs.
But she couldn't get angry. These old ladies hadn't left yet, and she still had to deal with them. Looking at Liu Pandie's back as he walked away, Old Lady Liu said helplessly,
"I want to see this kid. I came all the way back, but I didn't even eat at home. I went back in a hurry. What a shame."
