Li Huizhu enjoyed everyone's praise for her new look. After removing her makeup that evening, she followed Lin Yu's skincare routine and was in a great mood.

She hums a song when she's happy.

Seeing how happy she was, Gu Henglin teased her, "Didn't you say you'd only wear makeup once? Are you going to wear it again in the future?"

Li Huizhu rolled her eyes at him. He had been just like her before, distrusting Lin Yu.

She raised her chin and said, "You don't need to worry about that. My daughter-in-law said she'll teach me how to do makeup."

That set of cosmetics will be hers from now on. Once she learns how to do makeup, she'll dress herself up beautifully every day.

To make up for all the lost youth.

Li Huizhu said to the old man, "In the future, if I dress up beautifully, everyone will definitely say that you are an old cow eating young grass."

The old man was often said that way when he was young.

After all, if I'm in my thirties and can still marry an eighteen-year-old girl, I'll feel more proud.

Now it's different. He's an old man, but Li Huizhu is still very young.

She would also dress up beautifully to make herself look older.

A sense of crisis rose in Gu Henglin's heart.

Thinking to himself, he would ask his daughter-in-law for advice on how to maintain his health tomorrow.

At least he can't be old enough to be Li Huizhu's father.

Lin Yu's gift truly touched Li Huizhu's heart.

From that day on, Li Huizhu paid more attention to her appearance and quickly learned how to do her own makeup.

From then on, we never saw her haggard and sorrowful face again.

Women who pay more attention to themselves will naturally stop worrying about trivial matters, and when they are in a better mood, they will be in a better state of mind.

Li Huizhu no longer had time to pay attention to Lin Yusheng's decision not to have children.

Even if she gives birth, she probably won't really want to raise the child.

You can't just put on makeup and dress up casually when you're taking care of a child. Li Huizhu was still in high spirits and wished Lin Yu wouldn't have a baby now.

Lin Yu thus gently resolved a potential conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

I went back to my parents' home again to give away the gifts I bought for the elders.

Seeing how generous they were, Shen Zhinian and Grandma Lin understood Lin Yu's meaning.

This is to shut them up.

Grandma Lin put on the new cotton-padded coat her granddaughter bought for her and sat comfortably in the yard basking in the sun.

Finally, she relented and said, "Alright, you can have the baby whenever you want. I won't rush you. Just keep it in mind."

Lin Yu winked at Gu Yunze, "See, isn't that all the solution?"

Gu Yunze gleaned something from Lin Yu's actions. After their argument that night, while chatting in bed, he even said:

"Xiaoyu, I've discovered that you're really good at making elders happy."

Lin Yu smiled and said, "After all, they are our elders, and they are very open-minded. In fact, even if we didn't do this, they wouldn't be too harsh on us."

Gu Yunze thought about it and agreed: "But if you do it this way, everyone will be happy."

Lin Yu leaned on his shoulder, yawned, and said, "Just coax them a bit, it won't take much effort, and everyone'll be happy..."

He fell asleep before he could finish speaking.

Gu Yunze glanced at her, kissed her forehead, and stared at the ceiling with his eyes open.

He was very fortunate to have married Lin Yu, and his married life was fulfilling and happy every day.

He was a little reluctant to leave his unit after the New Year, as he might not have much time at home.

But by the next day, he was in no mood to think about it anymore, because Lin Yu and Li Huizhu both said that it was time to start preparing for the New Year!

This is the first time Lin Yu and Gu Yunze's family have spent the Lunar New Year together, and Li Huizhu said they should make good preparations.

So the young couple were sent out to buy New Year's goods.

The list of New Year's goods was so long that the two of them had to run all over the north of the city before they finally managed to buy everything.

On New Year's Eve, the family gathers together, and the table is laden with delicious dishes.

Lin Yu and Gu Yunze are already married, so they won't receive any New Year's money.

As children, they also gave their parents red envelopes (cash gifts).

He handed it to Gu Henglin and Li Huizhu at the dinner table.

"Mom and Dad, this is just a small token of our appreciation. We wish you all the best."

When Li Huizhu received a red envelope from a child for the first time, she was a little surprised: "Why are you giving us red envelopes?"

Knowing he was bad at speaking, Gu Yunze gave Lin Yu the chance to answer.

She spoke earnestly: "Mom and Dad, we are adults now, and we have our own families. It's time for us to take care of you."

Hearing this, Li Huizhu finally realized that her child had grown up and would be someone she could rely on in the future.

She was very happy to receive the red envelope: "Okay, then we'll accept it."

Gu Henglin naturally followed her, and the two of them stuffed the red envelopes into their pockets, their smiles becoming even more genuine.

"Ring ring..."

The phone at home suddenly rang.

Gu Yunze stood up to answer the phone.

"Okay, I'll have him come." His expression was normal. He only said one sentence to the other party before turning to Gu Henglin and saying, "Dad, it's my eldest brother. He's here to wish you a Happy New Year."

Lin Yu noticed that when Li Huizhu heard that it was Gu Yunze's older brother, the corners of her mouth drooped down.

Clearly, she disliked this person.

Gu Henglin showed no joy as he walked over and answered the phone.

Gu Yunfei's voice came through: "Dad, Happy New Year! Your grandson also wants to wish you a Happy New Year."

Gu Henglin was very cold towards his eldest son, but he had no problem with his grandson.

He happily accepted his grandson's New Year's greetings.

But I wasn't interested in chatting with them, so I said, "Okay, is there anything else? If not, I'm going to eat."

Gu Yunfei quickly said, "Dad, I heard Yunze got married?"

Gu Henglin replied indifferently, "Hmm, what's wrong?"

Gu Yunfei complained, "Why didn't you tell me and Wenwen? We're his older brothers and sisters, shouldn't we go back and see the bride?"

Gu Henglin did mention inviting his eldest son and daughter over, but Li Huizhu and Gu Yunze declined.

Li Huizhu was in a bad mood when she saw these two ungrateful wretches and didn't want them to spoil the fun.

Gu Yunze was naturally on the same side as his mother.

He wasn't familiar with his two older siblings anyway, so whether they came or not wouldn't make any difference.

So he simply stopped sending them invitations.

Gu Henglin was most afraid that Li Huizhu would be angry with him, so he really didn't inform his eldest son and eldest daughter.

But Gu Yunfei's questioning tone made him very uncomfortable.

"Who do you think you are, that I invited you here to get in my way? I told you long ago, this family has nothing to do with you anymore, so you'd better watch yourself."

He hung up the phone before Gu Yunfei could answer.

Lin Yu deduced from these words that the eldest brother of the Gu family might really not have a good relationship with his family.

She sat silently without saying a word.

Gu Henglin returned to the dining table, carefully observing Li Huizhu's expression.
