Ye Yulian rolled her eyes at her daughter-in-law when she heard what she said.

“I’m friends with Suwen, not her mother. How could I force her to arrange a job for my daughter-in-law?”

“Even if I were her mother, if I made this request, she wouldn’t listen if she didn’t want to.”

"What makes you think that Suwen will listen to whatever I say?" Ye Yulian really didn't expect her daughter-in-law to make such a stupid request.

She and Chen Suwen are good sisters and friends. Shouldn't Chen Suwen promote her children or her daughter-in-law?

Why should I?

She and Chen Suwen were just neighbors for many years. They were only close friends in recent years, and she had never saved Chen Suwen's life.

How could she have the audacity to ask Chen Suwen to fulfill her demands?

"Mom, what you're saying... you two are best friends." The second daughter-in-law was still unwilling to give up.

"You two have been together for over twenty years, and all you're asking her to do is arrange a job for you. It shouldn't be a difficult thing for her, right?"

The second daughter-in-law genuinely felt that this was no big deal.

A restaurant this big must need a lot of staff. It's just a matter of asking Chen Suwen to arrange a position. It's not like it's impossible. What's so hard about asking?

"Who do you think you are? Neither her husband's relatives nor her own relatives were arranged to come."

"Why should we assign someone like you, an outsider who has no connection whatsoever, to work here?"

"It's just a job, isn't it? If jobs were so easy to come by, would so many people be desperate to have one?"

"Can you use your brain? Don't say things that make everyone think you're empty-headed?"

Ye Yulian really didn't expect her daughter-in-law to be so stupid. How did her second son choose his wife?

As Ye Yulian thought this, she glared fiercely at her son.

What kind of bastard did he find to be his wife?

How can someone say something like that? Do they even have a brain?

Or does her son just like women with empty heads?

how?

Does standing the couple together make him appear wiser and more intelligent in comparison?

"I'm sorry, Mom, she just doesn't think before she speaks." Zhao Jianmin quickly stood up and pulled his wife back, not forgetting to apologize to his mother.

"Stop talking, do you want to be kicked out? Can't you just be quiet and have a peaceful meal?" Zhao Jianmin knew how to handle his wife, and she quieted down as soon as he finished speaking.

She knew that what she had just said had upset her mother-in-law, but she still didn't think there was anything wrong with what she said.

They're both city dwellers, so why is it that other people's mothers-in-law are so capable, while hers isn't?

Zhao Jianmin's wife glanced at her mother-in-law, whose expression was gloomy, her eyes filled with disappointment.

Zhao Jianmin could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her, so he quickly squeezed her hand to tell her to calm down.

He couldn't help but sigh.

I was too young back then, and I only cared about looks. I also thought she was innocent and unpretentious, which is why I married her.

It wasn't until after they got married that they realized she was indeed naive, but far too naive, to the point of being somewhat foolish.

But who could blame her for being so beautiful despite her foolishness?

He was initially smitten by her face, but even after realizing she was utterly foolish and had no brains, he still held back because of her beautiful face.

"Alright, if you're capable, find yourselves jobs. We two old folks are incapable, we admit it."

Zhao Mingtian now has to admit that he is not as capable as Zhou Qingyun. Even if he is jealous, it's useless. He can't compare to her.

His wife may not be as capable as other people's wives, but she is, after all, his wife who has been married to him for decades, has given birth to children and managed the household for many years. How could he possibly replace his wife?

Now, seeing his daughter-in-law subtly complaining that the old couple were incompetent, Zhao Mingtian honestly admitted it.

"Dad, how could you be incompetent? You've supported us siblings with your skills and years of hard work. How could you be incompetent?"

Zhao Jianhua quickly comforted his father.

No matter what, his father raised his siblings and their children with his hard-earned wages.

How could he possibly dislike his father?

“That’s right, Dad. If it weren’t for your job, how could my siblings and I have grown up safely? We’ve relied on you for everything since we were little.” Zhao Jianguo quickly comforted his father.

Zhao Jianmin followed closely behind, telling his father not to take his wife's words to heart, that she was someone who spoke without thinking, and not to argue with her.

Ye Yulian sneered as she watched her sons fawning over their father.

It's true that sons are closer to their fathers, especially working fathers.

They wouldn't prioritize her, the unemployed mother.

She thought of Chen Suwen.

Back then, Chen Suwen had her own job and was very confident.

After Zhou Cunzong graduated, she gave him her job and became an unemployed housewife, but she still remained very strong-willed.

Because she was the true head of the family, even if Zhou Qingyun had a job but she didn't, Zhou Qingyun still listened to her, and her son and daughter-in-law also listened to her.

Now Chen Suwen has opened her own large restaurant and has a successful career. She has never been a pitiful person who lives at the mercy of others.

And her?
