By the time Chunxiang realized what was happening, the door was already closed.

She quickly banged on the door, "Mom, Mom, what are you doing? Open the door for me right now, I haven't eaten yet."

She hasn't even had a bite of the egg drop soup yet.

After Mo Yan returned, she sat down and watched as neither of them touched their chopsticks.

"What, you want me to kick you out too? Hurry up and eat!"

Chunxiang deserves it; all she does is cause trouble. She's back, fine, but all she does is sow discord.

After saying that, Mo Yan gave Chunxiang's portion to Dayun as well, "Eat quickly, I'm not worried about you, I'm worried about my future grandchildren, hurry up."

Dayun then realized what was going on and understood. She agreed that her mother-in-law was worried about the baby in her belly, not her, but she was still very happy.

In the past, every time Chunxiang came back, she would say such things, which would make her mother-in-law very unhappy. She would feel that Chunxiang was not doing a good job as a daughter-in-law, and Chunxiang would feel wronged. She had done everything, so why was she still considered an outsider?

And then there's Chun Guo... Da Yun secretly glanced at Chun Guo. Everyone says this man is good, family-oriented, earns little but earns a lot, and is good to his girlfriend. But who knows that he doesn't care about his wife at all? He only ever thinks about his sister, his friends, and his pride.

Dayun took a bite of the egg, and it tasted wonderful, so delicious! She hadn't eaten it in a very long time, and she ate it in big mouthfuls.

After dinner, Da Yun wanted to clean up, but Mo Yan slapped her hand, saying, "Don't move, Chun Guo, you clean up."

Chun Guo was a little confused. How did he end up cleaning up? "Mom, I'm exhausted after a long day."

Mo Yan glanced at the feather duster beside her. "My feather duster has been idle all day. Why don't you try it out and see if it works?"

Chun Guo swallowed hard, startled, and immediately stood up. "I'll go get ready right away."

Mo Yan was finally satisfied. "Hurry up, I still need to go out and tidy up the one outside later."

Chunguo: "..."

After watching Chun Guo wash the dishes, Mo Yan instructed Dayun, "Tell me if you feel unwell these next two days. I'm going out for a bit now. If you're in pain, have him help you to the hospital."

Dayun nodded, moved, with tears welling up in her eyes. "Okay, Mom, I understand."

She was truly moved. She never expected her mother-in-law to think of her so much. All the unpleasantness from the past vanished at that moment.

That's why she's so naive; she's forgotten how badly the original owner treated her.

Mo Yan went out, but Chunxiang was nowhere to be found. Mo Yan headed towards Chunxiang's house.

Chunxiang's husband was also a factory worker. He was honest and kind and knew that everyone was struggling these days. He wouldn't eat at Moyan's place because having another person to eat would mean consuming too much more food.

He also told Chunxiang not to visit too often, as her mother-in-law's family was also struggling financially.

Sure enough, Chunxiang came back complaining of being hungry, so he quickly cooked her a meal: rice and a bowl of scrambled eggs. He had just received his salary of 18.8 yuan, so he quickly bought some eggs, rice, and noodles. He also bought a piece of meat and a pig's trotter to nourish Chunxiang, because he was afraid that if he didn't buy them, Chunxiang would spend all the money on clothes and face cream.

Chunxiang is beautiful, very beautiful.

Everyone envied him for finding such beautiful clothes, and he was happy too.

Chunxiang loved to dress up, and she spent all her monthly salary on clothes and face creams. The two of them lived a very frugal life, so Chunxiang would go back to her parents' home for meals.

She said that food will eventually be digested, but dressing up is different; dressing up makes you look beautiful.

Da Hua had nothing to say about this; what could he do with his wife? He could only spoil her.

However, he still had to say a few words.

"Chunxiang, don't go to Mom's house for meals all the time anymore. There are several people in Mom's family, and my sister-in-law is about to give birth. It's not easy for them. They only have my eldest brother's salary."

We both have salaries; if we're careful with our finances, we can manage.

Chunxiang had already finished the whole bowl of scrambled eggs, leaving Dahua with absolutely nothing.

Dahua didn't mind; he was quite content with the steamed buns with rice porridge and a little radish.

“Give up? That’s my home, that’s my mom. It’s only natural for me to eat my mom’s food and my brother’s food. I don’t need to be at anyone’s beck and call. If you were capable, would I need to go back? It’s all because you can’t make money!”

That's a bit much. Her salary isn't low; it's just that she doesn't know how to save money and spends it recklessly all the time.

When Dahua heard Chunxiang say that, he felt a little sad, but he quickly cheered himself up and told himself that Chunxiang was right and that he would work harder to earn money in the future.

"It's my fault. I'll work harder in the future, but Mom and the others have had a tough time too. Don't you think so?"

The main issue is that what people say doesn't sound nice either.

"Zhang Dahua, that's enough! Have I been too kind to you? I gave birth to your child, and now you're here lecturing me?"

At that moment, Mo Yan pushed open the door and glared at Chunxiang several times.

Chunxiang was still a little scared when she saw her mother. "Mom, why are you here?"

Mo Yan looked at the dishes on the table; there was nothing left.

"You're just going to let Dahua eat this? Why don't you all eat it together? How could I have such a selfish daughter?"

Chunxiang immediately felt wronged, "Then I'll have his child, so isn't it only right that I eat it?"

Dahua chimed in, "Mom, I've eaten too. Please sit down. Have you eaten? I'll go fry you some eggs right away."

Mo Yan told him to sit back down. "I've eaten. You shouldn't spoil her like this. Look at her now, all she does is act like a tyrant all day long."

Chunxiang's eyes reddened, she looked utterly wronged. "Mom, how could you say that to me? Wasn't I just worried about you today?"
