(No system, no cheat, no troublesome relatives, no CP.) Li Yu was very capable. Her childhood spent as a 'left-behind child' made her yearn more for home and a life of financial freedom. La...
Li Yu put himself in their shoes and felt that what they said was right.
I won't force it. "Okay, I'll have Lin Hai drive you this afternoon. You guys talk to Yang Liu, I'll go check on the kitchen."
After she finished speaking, she came out, leaving space for the mother and her two children to talk.
"Your mother-in-law is such a nice person."
After seeing Li Yu go out, Yang's mother said to Yang Liu.
Yang Liu is no longer the poor young wife she was a year ago. After living in the town for more than half a year, she has met more people and her social horizons have broadened a lot.
"Mom, you guys didn't let me marry Lin Hai back then. Now you see, we're living a good life, and my mother-in-law treats me well."
Because Li Yu was not around, Qi relaxed a little. When she heard Yang Liu say this, she was so angry that she slapped her.
"You dead girl, what are you talking about? Your son-in-law is still here."
Lin Hai was a man of good sense. "It's okay, mother-in-law, you guys chat, I'll go upstairs to help my mother."
When only the three of them were left in the room, Yang Chengcai spoke up.
"I heard that Lin Lao Er's wife is engaged to the daughter of the county magistrate. Will this be difficult for you?"
"Yes, everyone in the family has heard about it, and they're worried that you'll be wronged in your husband's family."
Every family has its share of open and covert struggles among sisters-in-law, and my family is no exception.
Yang Cheng was also worried. After all, the county magistrate's family was different from theirs. He was afraid that Yang Liu would not be able to hold her head up high and feel inferior in her husband's family.
But they have no choice. Who can decide their own birth?
Yang Liu understood her elder brother's concerns.
"Mom, brother, don't worry, this lady has been to the store several times, and I've seen her before.
She is a simple and cheerful girl, without the airs of a young lady from a wealthy family, and is very easy to get along with."
Seeing that her brother and her mother still looked unconvinced, she continued.
"Besides, you should trust my mother-in-law. She also said that I will be the eldest daughter-in-law of the Lin family in the future."
"really?"
"real?"
They were both in disbelief. Looking at their expressions, Yang Liu also seemed proud.
"Of course, my mother-in-law handed over the reins of the household to me a long time ago. But now I'm suddenly pregnant, and she has no choice but to take over in the past few days."
"That's good, that's good. Your mother-in-law is indeed a capable person."
The mothers and the others chatted for a while, and then Lin Hai came over and called for dinner.
Today's meal was very rich. Li Yu cooked two dishes, and the rest were made in the restaurant kitchen.
There aren't many customers now anyway.
In addition to the white fungus and lotus seed soup specially stewed for Yang Liu, the meal consisted of ten dishes combining meat and vegetables.
Although Li Yu had never been pregnant, she knew from surfing the Internet in her previous life that pregnant women should eat small meals frequently and eat more vegetables and fruits. They can also eat meat, but not too much fish and meat.
So this table can be said to be nutritionally comprehensive.
Although the Yang family mother and son had made preparations in advance, they were still shocked when they saw the food in their home.
The Lin family is indeed a wealthy family.
My daughter (sister) is a blessing.
Although I envy him, I won't be jealous. After all, this is his ability.
After the meal, Shi Liyu asked Lin Hai to sit with Yang Cheng for a while, and Yang Liu and her mother talked, as it was still early.
Let Lin Hai take me home.
She went to prepare some return gifts for the two of them.
Although only two people from the Yang family came, her elder sister and younger sister both brought gifts.
Yang Liu felt very guilty when she found out that her elder sister and younger sister had both sent gifts. Her elder sister was okay, and her younger sister was actually not a bad person.
"Mom, how is Ali doing now? It was my fault last time."
"Don't worry. Last time your eldest brother went to the Mu family and told them that Mu Liang seemed to be remorseful and would be fine. Your sister won't blame you either, as she was in the wrong anyway."
Both of these daughters gave Qi a lot of worry.
Now that Yang Liu is well, only Yang Li is left.
"Tell the eldest sister and the younger sister to come to town when they have time."
Mother Yang nodded. "I'll tell them."
Li Yu also prepared three return gifts.
All three restaurants serve the same braised chicken, dim sum, and a few peaches.
Li Yu came across these peaches on the street a few days ago. Since fruits were scarce in that era, she bought a basket of them without hesitation when she saw them.
But the weather is too hot now and the peaches cannot be preserved, so they can only be given away as a return gift.
These three things are enough, neither expensive nor shabby.
In fact, Li Yu was wrong. These things were extremely valuable in the eyes of rural people.
Especially fruits. Rural people nowadays don’t have any fruits to eat. The fruits sold outside are more expensive than grains.
Occasionally, if there is a fruit tree at home, people would not eat the fruit and would save it to sell.
When the two of them were going back, Li Yu asked them to take it with them, but they felt it was too valuable and did not dare to accept it.
In the end, it was Yang Liu who stepped in and asked her mother and brother to accept it.
After returning home, Yang's mother planned to invite Lin Hai to have dinner, but it was getting late, so Lin Hai did not stay.
His second and third brothers were not at home, so he had to go back early. He didn't even go to the old house and went straight home.
As soon as the two of them entered the door, Yang Liu's sister-in-law couldn't sit still.
I really want to know what's in the bag.
Brother Yang also stretched his neck to look, but he was not brave enough to flip it through.
Although he was a little confused, he was still afraid of his father and elder brother.
This is why the Qi family was able to suppress the second son and his wife of the Yang family.
