Yang Ruqing said, "Mother wants us to come and sit here first. She's helping Xiu'er's grandmother coax Xiu'er. When they're done coaxing her, they'll come over."

Mrs. Sun nodded, her gaze sweeping over the crowd. "Liu'er isn't here either, is she? Where did she go? Is she still in the kitchen?"

Let me know if you have other text you'd like translated! ?

Yang Ruqing said again, "Sister-in-law was helping in the kitchen earlier, and then when Little Niece woke up, she went to coax the child."

At the moment when they were speaking, Liao Meiyin, Cao Baimei, and Li Xiuixin together brought the dishes to the table.

Today, both Mrs. Sun and Ms. Bao were visiting, so it was inappropriate to invite Li Xiu Xin to join them.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

Moreover, with the previous incident of Li's mother tripping Liao Meiying, everyone felt a bit awkward. Therefore, they tacitly kept silent.

As for the men's table, Lao Yangtou, being the head of the family, didn't even open his mouth to ask Li Xiu Xin to sit down. Naturally, no one else would presume to take his place.

Yang Yongxian looked at Li Xiuxin several times, wanting to speak but holding back.

It was clear that Li Xiu's heart ached for this situation. As the biological mother of the disciple, she couldn't sit as the hostess and greet guests alongside him.

But despite his sympathy, Yang Yongxian knew he couldn't show it too obviously. After all, Liao Meiying was his legally wedded wife, the woman he had married in a proper ceremony.

Li Xiu Xin... in the end, was just a concubine.

>

As a concubine, I wouldn't be considered the mistress of Old Yang's household. I would be more like Fourth Uncle's concubine, Xiaojuan, who already has children five or six years old. In such formal occasions, Xiaojuan has never been included.

A multitude of emotions surged through Yang Yongxian's heart, causing him to lose his focus. In that moment of distraction, he accidentally overturned the wine cup in front of him.

The fragrant liquor spilled out, leaving a very noticeable mark on his sky-blue robe.

Yang Yongxian quickly stood up, holding the damp piece of clothing and shaking it lightly. Her fair face flushed a few shades red.

"Why aren't you being more careful? You're so old, and you're still clumsy." Lao Yang couldn't help but scold him.

Yang Yongxian looked even more embarrassed.

The ladies at this table, Liao Meiyin was greeting Sun and the others as they ate, hearing the commotion at the next table, Liao Meiyin quickly got up and came to Yang Yongxian's side.

"Yongxian, let me accompany you to change your clothes," she said softly.

Yang Yongxian glanced at the table behind Liao Meiyin, where women were seated, and said, "No need. You stay here to greet the female guests. I'll have Xiu Xin accompany me."

Just as Liao Meiyng was about to say something else, Yang Yongxian had already pointed at Li Xiuxin who stood by the table, looking distracted. "You come back with me to the room and help me find a piece of clothing," she said.

Li Xiu Xin came back to her senses, a look of reluctance in her brows and eyes.

Yang Yongxian felt even more sorry for her, so he came over and took her hand directly.

>

Take her back home and comfort her well!

As soon as the two of them left, Tan Shi also arrived at the dining hall with Li Mu who was holding Xiu'er in her arms.

“Today, our Xiu’er is the star of the show! We all get to eat and drink good because of Xiu’er. Come on, Xiu’er Ga-po, hold Xiu’er and sit with me!”

Tan sat down at the head of the table where the female guests were seated, then patted the spot beside her and gestured for Mrs. Li to take a seat.

Tan's unprecedented enthusiasm made even the Suns at the table feel compelled to respond.

>

So they all smiled and greeted Mrs. Li, inviting her to take a seat.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Mrs. Li's spine was now straight, her mind constantly revolving around the four characters "poor mother, rich son." She held Xiu'er proudly and sat down beside Mrs. Tan, beaming with self-satisfaction.

“Come on, eat up! Don’t be shy, everyone. Eat whatever you like. Today, we’re all basking in the light of little Xingxing’s birthday!” Tan lifted her chopsticks and gestured to everyone.

Everyone responded and picked up their chopsticks.

The men at the next table were already clinking glasses, making the dining hall quite lively.

Perhaps the aroma of the food lured the child. Xiu'er stopped crying and sat on Li Mu's lap, following instinct, stretching out a small hand to grab the dish in front of him.

Seeing others eating at the table, he blinked.

While gnawing on a bone, Liu teased Xiu'er, making him swallow nervously. Liu laughed heartily at this.

The atmosphere at the table unexpectedly became very good.

Li Mu was cradling Xiuer in one arm and stuffing food into her mouth with chopsticks in the other. Xiuer looked up at her mother's non-stop chomping and couldn't help but swallow nervously.

“I think Xiu’er is hungry, why don’t we give him some food?” Liao Meiyng suggested.

Li Mu's eyes darted to Liao Meiying, and she said without politeness: "No need, no need. Xiu'er eats and drinks whatever he wants, Xiuxin has her own set of rules. He can't eat these greasy things."

Liao Meiying smiled in understanding and tactfully dropped the subject.

When the time comes and she gets food poisoning, she can't handle the responsibility.

Li's mother ate too quickly, and several drops of oil soup fell onto Xiu'er's head and face.

" Xiu'er, Grandma, you should eat slower, look, Xiu'er has food all over your head and face!"

Over the past few days, Yang Ruohui hasn't had much of an appetite. Seeing all this oily and greasy food, she didn't feel like eating much, so she just sat there picking at a few bites.

At a glance, he saw everything that Li's mother and the others were doing. He couldn't help but remind them.

Li's mother lowered her head and glanced at the grandson in her arms. His head and face were indeed dirty.

"Hehehe, I'm eating, he sits on my lap, it's inevitable. I'll just wash up when we get back home later, no big deal. Everyone, keep eating." Li's mother smiled and then started to eat and drink greedily.

Yang Ruoqing frowned secretly, time really is a butcher's knife.

Once upon a time, Li Jia Village's scholar's daughter. Now she has become such an unkempt old woman, seeing food and acting so impatiently, it's really... speechless!

" Xiu'er, hold me, you eat yours."

Tan, who was sitting beside Li's mother, suddenly spoke.

Mrs. Li hesitated for a moment and said, "Grandmother, you haven't finished eating yet?"

Tan said, "I have a small appetite. Xiu'er, hold me, you eat quickly. It's tiring enough to take care of the child every day. Let me help you."

The child was entrusted to Tan, and Li's mother was overjoyed. With her hands free, she could now better contribute.

Tan held Xiu'er in her arms, teasing her there.

Xiu'er tried several times to grab the dishes in front of him, but was stopped by Tan Shi.

"Seeing our esteemed master eat like this, with the child hungry and watching, it's truly heartbreaking. I brought the bowl of osmanthus and silver ear soup over to him. Let me feed my dear Xiu a few sips. This sweet soup shouldn't be harmful, right? I'll coax him."

At Tan's command, the ice sugar snow fungus soup was soon brought to him.

Tan took a clean spoon and scooped out half a spoonful. She blew on it by her lips before feeding it to Xiu'er...

Everybody was surprised to see the Tan family treating Xiu'er with such care.

>

Among Lao Yang's grandchildren, only Yang Huamei and Yang Yongxian had been held in her lap and fed by Tan Shi.

Even Yang Huaming's son, Tie Dan, had never enjoyed such treatment.

And Xiu'er enjoyed it, which shows that Tan Shi attaches great importance to the Yang Yongxian branch of the eldest house.

>

While Li's mother secretly witnessed this scene, her spine straightened even more.

The son becomes successful despite his parents' poverty, embroidered with heart in the old Yang family, sooner or later he will make a breakthrough!
