Manager Wang's previously warm smile froze instantly.

Weren't these the things that these two people brought to give me?

I was just saying that this small gift was nothing to show my respect.

He was somewhat surprised, after all, these things weren't cheap.

She never expected that it was her son-in-law who gave it to her.

So you ended up giving it to yourself?

Manager Wang's face darkened.

His expression was indescribably ugly.

Li Yuehua and Li Baozhu, who were standing to the side, froze with their smiles.

Seeing Manager Wang's unpleasant expression, Li Baozhu quickly said, "Sister, what nonsense are you talking about? The things your family sent are all kept at your home. These are things I bought myself. Don't make things up!"

Li Yuehua also realized what was happening and said with a forced smile, "Yes, Manager Wang, the child isn't home and doesn't know. Maybe he saw that these things were the same as what they sent back and misunderstood."

Just as Manager Wang was looking at it, Song Yanzhi said, "How could that be? This milk was issued to Pei Yuchen by the military. It even has a serial number on it. It's different from the milk you buy outside. Do you think I don't know if we sent it or not? Mom, you're really something. You wanted to send it to me, but you did it secretly. Did you want to give me a surprise?"

She gave Li Yuehua a reproachful look, as if she hadn't noticed her unpleasant expression, and picked up the gift. "I originally meant to give you drinks, but you didn't want them. Well, we can't let them go to waste. I'll take them back for Xiaobao to drink."

She spoke politely, but her actions were anything but.

Li Yuehua was already feeling guilty, and when she heard this, she opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

"If you ask me, little sister, you've been out of school for a year and still haven't found a job. Your family has worked so hard to raise you, taking so much money from us. We finally waited for you to graduate, and now you still can't find a job. You can't keep playing around like this, you know?"

While packing the things, Song Yanzhi also revealed Li Baozhu's past.

Li Baozhu was so angry she almost fainted. The well-behaved and sensible persona she had just established had collapsed in an instant.

Her face flushed red, and just as she was about to speak, Song Yanzhi added, "If you're still busy, I won't bother you any longer. I'll take the things back first, and you can enjoy your meal."

After finishing speaking, Song Yanzhi picked up the items, ignoring the unpleasant expressions on the faces of the others.

Just then, Pei Yuchen arrived carrying the baby.

The father and son were both taken aback when they saw Song Yanzhi carrying large and small bags of things.

Song Yanzhi was also stunned when she saw the father and son. When Xiao Bao saw her looking over, he struggled to get down from Pei Yuchen's arms.

Pei Yuchen put him down, and Xiao Bao immediately ran over with his short legs.

Xiao Bao's eyes swept over Song Yanzhi from head to toe, and only after confirming that she was alright did he breathe a sigh of relief.

"Mom, let me help you carry these." Seeing that Si Nian couldn't carry so many things, he quickly reached out his little hand to help her.

A carton of milk was very heavy for Xiaobao. He used all his strength to lift it, and it was about to fall down after only two seconds. He quickly walked forward with his belly sticking out, walking unsteadily and staggeringly, as if he was about to be pulled down by the carton of milk.

Pei Yuchen rushed forward and took the box of milk before he collapsed.

He glanced at it and frowned: "Isn't this the stuff we sent to your house before? Why is it being sent back?"

His voice made Manager Wang even uglier.

If what happened just now was a misunderstanding by Song Yanzhi, now it's confirmed.

Pei Yuchen was pulled over by his son as soon as he got off work.

They haven't changed their clothes yet.

He was still wearing a crisp military uniform.

He was tall and slender with an outstanding presence.

Just by looking at them, you can tell they are people of high status and position.

At first, he was skeptical when the other party told him that his daughter had married a military officer, and he became even more suspicious when the other party didn't come today.

If Li Yuehua hadn't said that, Manager Wang would never have made that trip.

Those of them in this line of work naturally need to interact with people of higher status and greater value.

For a farmer like Li Yuehua, associating with such people would only lower his own social standing.

It now appears that he wasn't lying.

But she brought back the gifts that her son-in-law had sent back to visit her, untouched, and gave them to her.

This is extremely disrespectful and excessive behavior, both to herself and to her son-in-law.

If the other person knew, what would they think?

He only wanted to befriend his son-in-law, not her, so how could he accept gifts from someone who was showing respect to their elders?

The more Manager Wang thought about it, the gloomier and uglier his expression became.

Originally, Li Yuehua wanted to stop her daughter, but her son-in-law's words made her stop in her tracks, her face flushed red, and she couldn't say a word.

Song Yanzhi chuckled softly, "My mom probably thought it would be a waste to keep it at home and couldn't bear to drink it, so she brought it to us again."

"In that case, let's keep it at home for Xiaobao to drink, so that her efforts in bringing it all this way won't be in vain."

Song Yanzhi figured it out: rather than making a scene and getting into an ugly argument, it would be better to use a roundabout tactic and pretend that he knew nothing.

This will only make Li Yuehua feel more embarrassed and guilty, and she will be too ashamed to blame herself for not giving her face.

After all, in her eyes now, she is innocent and it's all a misunderstanding.

Li Yuehua wasn't particularly cunning, and she certainly wouldn't suspect that Li Yuehua had done this on purpose.

Sure enough, these words immediately made Li Yuehua so ashamed that she couldn't lift her head.

Originally, I was planning to find fault with my daughter and blame her for her inaction during this period.

But her daughter and son-in-law's back-and-forth remarks made her feel like she was in the wrong, and she felt even more ashamed to face them.

Pei Yuchen paused. He wasn't stupid; how could he believe such a thing? He glanced at the man in a suit sitting opposite Li Yuehua, with Song Yanzhi's cousin by his side, and instantly understood what was going on.
