Unlike some nouveau riche, the Tang family doesn't put on airs. They seem to treat their son quite well. She doesn't ask for anything else in her life but hopes for her son's success. She hopes that her grandchildren will all be successful. Fortune tellers say that Tang Xiaoxiao brings good fortune to her husband, and judging from this, it must be true.

Since that's the case, then she has nothing to worry about. As the saying goes, "One who is neither deaf nor mute cannot be a good father-in-law," so she and Old Han just need to avoid holding their son back.

Old Han is right. People are all made of flesh and blood. If she treats her daughter-in-law well, how could her daughter-in-law not be filial to her?

Just like when she married into the Han family, didn't she also think about serving her parents-in-law well and being a good daughter-in-law? It's just that she was heartbroken later, so she became cold-hearted.

As if struck by a sudden enlightenment, Guo Mingli's entire demeanor subtly changed, and even the smile that often graced her face appeared more approachable.

Tang Xiaoxiao was most familiar with Guo Mingli's micro-expressions. In their past lives, the two had fought countless times. Even if Guo Mingli was smiling, Tang Xiaoxiao could tell at a glance when she had a problem with her. Now, Tang Xiaoxiao was the first to notice Guo Mingli's subtle changes. Although she didn't know what the other person was thinking, this change seemed to be a good thing.

Since it's a good thing, there's nothing to investigate further.

After lunch, the Han couple chatted for a while longer before getting up to say goodbye.

They couldn't leave the building materials market, and many of their regular customers came specifically for Mr. Han. Mr. Han was well-liked and had indeed won over many genuine friends. While everyone in the building materials business was essentially selling similar products as long as they didn't use inferior goods, the Han family's business was simply better than their neighbors', and this was mainly due to Mr. Han.

So the couple couldn't leave the shop at all. They closed the shop for a day to come to City A to see their daughter-in-law because the news of Tang Xiaoxiao's pregnancy was such a pleasant surprise. As future grandparents, they definitely had to come over.

Now that they had met the elderly couple, given them the tonics, and expressed their concern, they decided not to stay any longer. Before leaving, Guo Mingli couldn't help but give them a few more words of advice, mainly telling Tang Xiaoxiao to try not to get involved in business matters during this time, to focus on taking care of her health, and to let Han Yunqi handle anything. Tang Xiaoxiao smiled and agreed, packed some easy-to-carry fruits, vegetables, and meats for them, and then Han Yunqi drove the elderly couple to the A City train station to board the train.

After seeing the people off, Tang's mother couldn't help but sigh softly, "Your mother-in-law is no pushover."

Tang Xiaoxiao smiled faintly and said, "No family is perfect. It doesn't matter if she's difficult. Anyway, I don't live with her, so we only see each other a limited number of times. She doesn't have any bad intentions, she's just a bit troublesome, but my father-in-law is there. You've seen it yourself, she listens to my father-in-law. With someone keeping her in check, I'm not afraid of her causing trouble."

"That's true. For a girl, getting married is like being reborn. Whether it's good or bad depends entirely on fate. No matter how carefully you investigate before marriage, it's useless. You can know a person's face but not their heart. Some people can pretend for more than ten or even decades. Isn't that scary?" Tang's mother usually likes to watch all kinds of prime-time soap operas and knows all those melodramatic plots like the back of her hand.

The mother and daughter quickly shifted their conversation from Han's mother to criticizing the protagonists in various melodramatic storylines.
