Chapter 177: Chapter 177: It Doesn’t Matter Anymore!
Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng were happily chatting when they were interrupted by Mrs. Li’s sudden action.
Seeing the eldest daughter-in-law kneeling on the ground in shame, Mrs. Zeng’s expression showed a moment of compassion, but she quickly spoke.
"Get up quickly!"
"You know your mistake, change in the future, and it’s all good!"
"In this cold weather, don’t freeze your knees, when you’re old, you’ll suffer!"
Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng didn’t expect the eldest daughter-in-law’s sudden apology.
However, neither of them thought much of it.
After a pleasant chat, the elderly pair became enlightened.
They were already at an age where they were truly tired, or rather, emotionally drained and didn’t want to fuss anymore.
No matter if the eldest daughter-in-law was sincere in her apology and wanted to change, or if it was just a temporary measure or something else, they had no energy to ponder.
To them, these matters had become indifferent!
Because, no matter what Mrs. Li did, they would follow their own heart to live the rest of their lives.
If Mrs. Li was truly sincere in her repentance, it would simply make their own lives better, nothing more.
"Mom, from now on, I will definitely change!"
Mrs. Li was pulled up by Mrs. Zeng and expressed her resolution earnestly and respectfully.
"Good, good, mom believes you!"
Mrs. Zeng smiled in response, then continued, "Wait a moment, I’ll make some flatbread, then you can cook!"
"Okay!"
Mrs. Li answered happily.
Though the Song Family and Mrs. Peng didn’t speak, they seemed thoughtful too; you could tell from the exchange of glances between them.
Old Yuan quickly lit the firewood under the pot, heating the stove.
Mrs. Zeng added a bit of oil to lubricate the pot, then started making egg soft flatbread.
In no time, the slightly yellow egg flatbread was ready, the aroma wafting through the air.
Mrs. Zeng placed the egg flatbread on an earthen plate, while Old Yuan scooped all the millet porridge from another pot into a big earthen bowl, and then they left the kitchen.
Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng returned to the main room and quickly woke up Yuan Shouhu and Yuan Bao.
Catching the scent in the air, Yuan Shouhu quickly got up.
Yuan Bao, however, wasn’t fully awake and didn’t want to get up.
"Sis, there’s egg flatbread, get up and eat!"
"Come on, or else I’ll eat it all up!"
"..."
Yuan Bao opened her eyes, glanced at her gluttonous brother, turned over, and continued sleeping; it’s just egg flatbread, not something she hasn’t had before.
Compared to eating, she preferred sleeping.
Ultimately, Yuan Shouhu succumbed to the temptation of good food, and with Mrs. Zeng’s persuasion, spared Yuan Bao.
Once he was full, seeing Yuan Bao still asleep, he ran outside gleefully, but not before reminding Old Yuan and Mrs. Zeng to make sure to watch over his sister and prevent her from disappearing again.
Yuan Shouhu, having run out, went back to the room where Yuan Zhaodi and Mrs. Xiao Li lived.
Mrs. Xiao Li, who had just gotten up, was thrilled to see her precious son back and hugged him tightly, showering him with kisses.
"Mom, Sis is back!"
"I want to go to Grandpa and Grandma’s room to sleep with Sis!"
"Get my little pillow and Sis’s little pillow for me!"
As soon as Mrs. Xiao Li picked him up, Yuan Shouhu delivered a critical request to her.
"Sweetheart, you want to sleep in Grandpa and Grandma’s room and not with mom?"
"Uh..."
Yuan Shouhu was momentarily stunned.
Of course, he adored his mother, but he wanted his sister too.
"Mom, how about letting Sis come back to sleep?"
After being dazed for a while, Yuan Shouhu suddenly had a thought and came up with a solution.
However, this solution was obviously not feasible.
