Chapter 190 The Women of the Gunners

Because I have only been moving here for a day, the house is big and there are many things, so many things have not been settled yet.

When I entered the middle yard, I saw large items such as water tanks and cabinets piled neatly in the yard. Xiaochun said that the second grandma should be watching the children in the back yard and keeping the door. The other women were cleaning the room and putting them in the room. Qianhou, who originally lived in the front yard, wanted to study while watching the door. The second grandma and second aunt were afraid of delaying his study, so they asked Xiaochun to come and keep the door.

"Study sometimes takes a while. It's almost the Chinese New Year. It's the bustling time. What else can I learn?" I said.

"Just say yes." Xiaochun nodded in agreement, "I just moved home and let others study. Are you tired? When I opened the door in the morning, I saw Genghou standing at the window and looking out. I asked him to come out to play, but he refused. When I brought him lunch and finished eating with him, he came out to dance with me for a while. As soon as you came back, he went back to study."

"Oh, this kid is so strong too..."

Just as we were talking, the sound of the door opening came from the east. We turned around and saw that Queer was coming over with a washing basin, probably to come to the well to fetch water. She was originally tired, but when she saw me, she seemed to have changed her face, and light almost shone out on her face.

"Brother Li! You're back!"

Que'er's appearance surprised me. My mother had rented my house to the old farmer. Now the two have not officially broken up yet. Logically, Que'er should have stayed in the old house to guard the house. I guess my mother thought the old farmer had done something unauthorized, and the Chinese New Year was quite chaotic, so she was worried about letting Que'er stay alone in the old house, so she brought her.

Before I could speak, Xiaochun pulled down her face and said in a cold tone.

"Yes, I'm back, I'm going to take him to see the room."

Only when Que'er heard Xiaochun's voice did Que'er notice her existence. She smiled awkwardly, walked up to us and said.

"Don't Chunmei have to keep the door in the front yard?"

"Sister Chun? Who is yours?" Xiaochun frowned in displeasure, "You don't have to worry about the matters of the door, you should do whatever you should do! Brother Li, let's go! Let's see the second grandma go!"

As he said that, Xiaochun dragged me to the back door of the middle courtyard. I looked at Que'er, and saw that she looked disappointed and couldn't bear it, so he said to her: "Qe'er, you go to work first, I'll go see my second grandma. Let's talk about it if you have the chance."

"Uh-huh."

After hearing what I said, Que'er's face looked a little better. She smiled at me and then headed towards the well.

Xiaochun pulled me into the back door of the intermediate yard, stopped after entering the corridor, and bulged his cheeks angrily. I turned around and closed the door, touched her little head, and asked softly.

"What's wrong? Are you having a conflict with Que'er?"

"Contradictory? She is worthy of it?" Xiaochun rolled her eyes, "Brother Li, you have to stay away from that woman, you're not serious!"

"I'm not serious?" I twisted my neck in confusion, "Where is she not serious?"

"There are already men, and I'm still asking us about you. My sisters shouted and approached her. Xiaomei asked her, "Why are you asking about this?" She said, she doesn't like her men - hehe! If she doesn't like her men, that's what she likes you? Hum! Eat what is in the bowl and look at the pot, is this woman serious?"

"ha……"

For those who don’t know the inside story, Que’er’s behavior is indeed inappropriate. If she explicitly separates her from the old farmer, she will definitely not misunderstand her. She hasn’t separated from the old farmer yet, so she will go to inquire about other men’s affairs and get close to other men’s wives and concubines, and she will not be serious no matter how she thinks.

I scratched my head awkwardly, not knowing how to explain to Que'er or how to answer the conversation. I touched Xiaochun's head again, pulled my arm out of her arms, put my backhand around her waist, and took her to the backyard.

"Where are you, Sister Yukawa, and Yumi?"

"You Yingjie is in the west courtyard, with a few aunts. Xiaomei is in the east courtyard, with two cousin sisters-in-law, and the children are in the backyard."

"Uh-huh?"

Hearing this, I looked at Xiaochun in confusion.

"Can't you let the children come here like this? Put a few in the front and back yards. If someone knocks on the door, he will go back and ask the adults to open it. Isn't that enough? Why do you have to put someone in the yard? Isn't this delaying work?"

"Yes..." Xiaochun blinked in agreement, "I don't know either, it was arranged by the second grandma."

"What about grandma arranged by the second grandma?"

"Grandma originally disagreed, but later her second grandma whispered to her and she agreed again. By the way, grandma seemed a little unhappy. During lunch, I invited her to the dining room to eat, but she didn't go, saying she didn't want to eat with her."

"Don't want to eat with 'her'?"

This "she" is my personal understanding. Nowadays, all the men who can work have gone out. Apart from Gunmao and children, there are only women left at home. Grandma will definitely not have a quarrel with Gunmao, and the children will have troubles. Besides, they can't offend her. Only women from my family can offend grandma.

Grandma's temper is not very good. From what I can remember until now, I have never seen her temper or had a worries with anyone. Only when my father says something like "Grandpa died early because of his fault", she would pick up a broom to hit someone, but that was a lesson to beat him, not a temper. After the fight, she would not get angry or make trouble.

Which woman in the family did what she did and offended her grandmother with such a good temper? I was puzzled and asked Xiaochun, where was her grandmother? Xiaochun said that her grandmother was also in the west courtyard, so I took her back and rushed to the west courtyard.

When she returned to the middle courtyard, Que'er had just finished the water. She greeted me and I also greeted her. Xiaochun ignored her. She didn't care about it at all, showed a sweet smile at me, and then went to the east gate of the middle courtyard. Xiaochun and I went to the west courtyard and found a grandmother who was cleaning the room with several women of the same generation in the west courtyard.

They were very happy to see me coming home. Grandma was also very happy. She pushed Yumi, who was shy and asked Yumi to come to me. Yumi felt that she was too dusty and was embarrassed to come over. Seeing that she couldn't come, I could only walk over, touch her head, and comfort her verbally. The two cousin-in-law teased her a few words, which made her even more shy.

The two cousin-in-law, the second cousin-law and the third cousin, have a very good relationship with grandma. Their relationship with second grandma is very average, not because of anything else, but because the second grandma prefers the second uncle and is more arrogant. This is what everyone knows. The same is true for the eldest aunt, the third aunt and the eldest aunt. They have an average relationship with second grandma and have a very good relationship with grandma.

So I just felt strange. The woman at home has a better relationship with her grandmother. It is logical that the grandmother should be responsible for the work arrangement. Even if this is my own, women in this house should follow her grandmother’s arrangements. If the second grandmother is asked to arrange it, it will be difficult to convince everyone from all angles.

While they were joking, I quietly pulled Gun Jie aside and asked her, who arranged the housework? Gun Jie replied that it was basically arranged by her grandmother, but her second grandmother insisted that Xiaochun would go to the front yard door and guard the back yard door himself.

The original arrangement was to let the children divide into two groups to keep the doors in the front and back yards. Because there was not enough staff, everyone thought this was the most appropriate. However, the second grandma didn't know what she said to her, so she switched to the second grandma's plan.

After getting this information from Gun Jie, I guess the "she" that grandma mentioned is probably the second grandma. I don't know what happened between the second grandma and grandma. In my opinion, the relationship between the two has always been good - although I can't say that the relationship is very good, I can only say that the relationship is not bad.

In my memory, there was no conflict between my grandmother and second grandmother, so I couldn't find any reason why my grandmother and second grandmother had a quarrel, and I didn't even want to have a meal with her deskmate. It was difficult for me, a junior, to get involved in the affairs of my ancestors, and it was not convenient to ask, so I could only pretend to have nothing to give birth to, and then make plans after I understood the matter.
