MTL - My Stepmother is Soft and Charming-Chapter 511 So old

“What are you talking about, mother? How can you talk about yourself like this?”

"Didn't I rush my words? I have lived a life of dignity and wantonness, and I will suffer when I get old. I would rather end it as soon as possible and reincarnate. Really, I am not joking with you."

Du Jingyi became more and more unhappy as she listened, and finally had to stop her.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's spend more time with the child. Brother Tai will go to the military camp with the general tomorrow. It will take ten and a half months to come back at least, so mother, you can It hurts a lot, I’m afraid when I come back next time, I won’t have this chubby look.”

Hearing this, Mrs. Du successfully focused her attention on Tagore.

Her eyes were filled with distress, but she also knew her uncle’s good intentions, so she didn’t try to persuade her. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Aunt Dou bringing two people in.

As soon as he saw them, Du Jingyi smiled.

“My aunt and sister-in-law are living a comfortable life, drinking tea and chatting here, but I am so tired from traveling all the way and can’t even drink hot water.”

As soon as these words came out, even Mrs. Du laughed, and quickly handed him a glass, and then said jokingly.

"Didn't I know you were coming? I specially prepared your favorite drink and I'm waiting here."

"My aunt is still kind to me. Unlike my cousin who is in debt, he didn't even say he would send us back when he picked us up at the dock. He rushed to do errands. I even doubted whether he accepted us sincerely. Should we just go along with it?"

He knew how to complain, and when he came in he told Gu Shaoyu something. Du Jingyi and Mrs. Du were both amused by his words. A cousin in debt, this is how the world would describe Gu Shaoyu, It's probably just him, Xing Zhao.

“Be careful if I blow pillows at night for your debt-ridden cousin, I’m afraid your life in the general’s residence will not be easy.”

"No, why is my cousin a changed person when she returns to Sui'an City?"

Du Jingyi deliberately teased him, and then looked at Xia Meng aside.

She was still as calm and taciturn as before, but she was open and generous no matter where she went. Du Jingyi pulled Mrs. Du over and they were very happy to see Xia Menglai, so they said hello.

 “Dr. Xia.”

"Doctor doesn't seem to be a common idiom here. I don't like to be asked around. Why don't you call me Dr. Xia or Xia Meng? They all mean the same thing."

"There are very few female doctors in Sui'an City. If you don't like people asking questions, how about we call you Miss Xia?"

 Mrs. Du knew her ability and that she didn't want to be in the limelight, so she followed up and explained.

Xia Meng felt there was nothing wrong with it, so she nodded and agreed.

"Miss Xia, do you have something to do when you come to Sui'an City? If you really want to, just ask. Even if you want the moon in the sky, we can find a way to get it for you!"

Mrs. Du said this to thank Xia Meng for taking care of her daughter and grandchildren, because she knew that without Xia Meng's appearance, I am afraid that the four of them would not have survived so well in the world. Therefore, these four lives In total, it is a huge kindness, so Mrs. Du will not be stingy in helping.

"Auntie, you're welcome. I don't have any dream of landing on the moon, so I won't be able to use it."

"Dream of landing on the moon? Miss Xia, do you want to dream of Chang'e?"

Xing Zhao interrupted and said, making everyone laugh. Xia Meng also understood Xing Zhao's temperament along the way, so she knew he was joking, so she rarely responded with a joke.

“I really want to be like Chang’e flying to the moon, but I don’t have a rabbit or a laurel tree to take advantage of. Is it possible that I really have to wait for Hou Yi in Guanghan Palace?”

There are not many people like her who can joke in front of men even though she is unmarried. There are not many people in Daxing Dynasty, so Mrs. Du, who is well-informed and well-informed, is a little uncomfortable all of a sudden. Du Jingyi, on the other hand, has spent enough time with Xia Meng, so although he doesn't understand some of her ideas, he can still show basic respect.

Looking at Xing Zhao with a smile, she was also curious about how cousin Zhao would answer.

Who knows? Xing Zhao seemed to be used to it, and then replied.

 “If you ask me, Hou Yi is not worthy of Chang’e, Chang’e alone is the most suitable!”

　　If Mrs.

 She smiled and patted him on the shoulder, as if the two brothers were in good company.

Mrs. Du was not that familiar with Xia Meng, but felt that her behavior was a bit shocking, but Du Jingyi could see that Xia Meng and Xing Zhao probably had no mutual affection, otherwise they would not look like men and women. No feeling of shyness?

 She sighed in her heart, it seemed that the good thing she had thought about a few days ago was about to come to nothing again.

In the garden, the four brothers who were playing came back to take a drink of water during a break. Before they entered the pavilion, they saw Xing Zhao and Xia Meng, both of whom were familiar to them. Naturally, they trotted over to say hello.

 “Uncle Zhao!”

 “Sister Xia.”

Obviously the age difference between the two of them is almost the same, but these two titles just make them older, so Xing Zhao knelt down and pointed at Xia Meng and said to the four brothers.

“I’ve taught you guys so many times that this is Aunt Xia, what kind of sister, she’s rude.”

 Brother Tai looked at Xing Zhao with a strange look, and then asked.

 “Many times? Why doesn’t Brother Tai remember?”

Xing Zhao was exposed in just one sentence, but he was thick-skinned, so naturally he would not blush. He was about to give himself a few words of respect when he heard Du Jingyi say.

"Okay, cousin Zhao, don't be poor anymore. Since you are complaining about the hard work, go back and rest quickly. You are not tired, and Miss Xia is tired too. The courtyard is still the Huanyun Courtyard where you lived before. The Mengyuyuan where Miss Xia is going to live is also the same, and it has been tidied up, so no matter how long you stay, it will be no problem."

 Then, he looked at Xia Meng alone and added.

 “Absolute silence and lack of restraint.”

Xia Meng was very grateful to Du Jingyi for his hard work.

 Du Jingyi is a very good friend to her, considerate, gentle and smart. He never asks questions about her differences, but adapts to and respects them. This makes Xia Meng feel very comfortable.

 So, she is happy to live in the general's mansion.

"Thanks."

 “Between you and me, there is no need to say thank you.”

Seeing this, Xing Zhao pinched the faces of the four brothers one by one, and then said.

“Wait a minute, cousin, go change into clean clothes first, and I’ll play with you later to see if you’ve made any progress?”
