Zhou Donglin Xiaoyu didn't need to learn, Qin Ye helped to collect food from the countryside, and Li Shuping didn't have to get up early to buy food, so she slept a little more deeply.

When Li Shuping got up, there was no one in the shop.

"Xiaoyu." She called out while wearing her clothes.

"Hey mom, I'm making breakfast."

My daughter Xiaoyu's voice came from the kitchen next door.

Li Shuping smiled with satisfaction and combed her short hair in front of the mirror beside the wardrobe.

She was four or five years old, her hair was black and shiny without any gray hair. Although her face had fine lines and nasolabial folds, her bone structure was good and the skin on her face had not sagged. Her skin was fair and she did not look old.

Li Shuping touched her dry face, wondering where to go to the state-owned store to buy some vanishing cream to apply on it.

She had wanted to buy them before. During the Spring Festival, she went to a state-owned store with Lin Yongnian and the children to buy new clothes and shoes. She just picked them up to have a look, but Lin Yongnian said she was wasting money and it was a waste to use face cream at her age, so she gave up.

From then on, I never thought about buying vanishing cream again.

Think about your whole life, you have never eaten good food, used good things, worn good clothes, and your mind is always on your man, children, and grandchildren. In the end, he died tragically in a nursing home and was left unattended. It really wasn't worth it.

In this life, she must eat well, dress well, use things well, make money when she should, enjoy life when she should, so that her life will not leave any regrets.

Li Shuping tugged at her clothes, turned around and walked out of the room, going to the kitchen to get some water to wash up.

Lin Xiaoyu cooked millet porridge and fried leek cakes. After Li Shuping washed up, she had breakfast directly.

Qin Ye came while they were having breakfast. Li Shuping gave him five yuan as usual and told him to pick the vegetables. Qin Ye then went out with a basket on his back.

After breakfast, Li Shuping began to prepare for the stall, and Lin Xiaoyu helped.

Lin Jianshe carried cigarettes, alcohol and candy and went with Liu Qin into the compound where his mother-in-law and her family lived.

"Dad, Mom." Lin Jianshe shouted loudly before entering the house.

Hearing his voice, everyone else in the compound stretched their necks out of their houses to look, and when they saw that it was Liu's son-in-law returning with Liu Qin, they retracted their heads, and no one spoke to greet Liu's new son-in-law.

"Oh, Jianshe is here." Liu's mother Yang Meifeng came out of the house with a smile on her face. She looked so happy.

Lin Jianshe was particularly satisfied and happy to see his mother-in-law being so enthusiastic.

"Oh, you've worked hard on the way. Come in and sit down. Mom will make you some honey water." Yang Meifeng took the things from her son-in-law and led him into the house.

"Mom, is your son-in-law the only one in your eyes? Didn't you see my son is back?" Liu Qin pouted.

Yang Meifeng pointed at her daughter and said to her son-in-law Lin Jianshe: "Look, she's jealous."

Lin Jianshe put his arm around his wife's shoulders as if to comfort her, and followed his mother-in-law into the house.

Liu Jianping, Liu's father, was at home. When he saw Lin Jianshe, he asked him to sit down.

Yang Meifeng put away the things her son-in-law brought and made two cups of honey water.

"Come to Jianshe. Drink honey water. This is wild honey from the mountains. You can't buy it outside."

"Thank you, Mom." Lin Jianshe called out in a friendly manner.

"Where's Xiaoyong?" Liu Qin didn't see her brother.

Liu Jianping: "I went out to play."

"Speaking of Xiaoyong, I really have to apologize to your mother." Yang Meifeng said to Lin Jianshe with an apologetic look on her face.

"Xiaoyong has been a troublemaker since he was young. Although he had good intentions and just wanted to make your and Qinqin's wedding more lively, he didn't expect to upset your mother and make such an embarrassing scene at the wedding. Regardless of whether Xiaoyong was right or wrong, I should apologize to your mother."

"But I'm very busy with my work and I can't leave. I can only ask you to apologize on my behalf."

Look, his mother-in-law is also a mother, but she is so broad-minded.

The mother-in-law beat his son and ruined his daughter's wedding. Not only was he not angry with her, he even apologized to her.

Lin Jianshe felt that his mother-in-law was so nice and sensible.

On the other hand, his mother?

He really didn't want to talk about it.

"Xiaoyong did nothing wrong! It's my mom who is too narrow-minded and looks down on others. You don't have to apologize to my mom."

His mother looked down on Qinqin and her family, which was why she got so angry because Xiaoyong made trouble for her mother-in-law.

If it were up to his mother, and he married a regular working girl from a well-off family, even if someone threw rotten eggs on her face, she might still smile and say she smells good.

Yang Meifeng was slightly startled, and she pressed the corner of her mouth towards Xiao Yang, looked at Lin Jianshe disapprovingly and said, "You can't say that about your mother."

She was originally worried that Lin Jianshe would get into trouble because of Xiaoyong's teasing of his mother-in-law. Although she did not blame Xiaoyong and the Liu family on the surface, she was dissatisfied in her heart.

That's why I pretended to apologize to his mother and asked him to help pass on the message. At the same time, it was to show him how generous and reasonable I, as his mother-in-law, am.

I didn't expect that he actually felt in his heart that there was something wrong with his mother. Lin Jianshe was really a good son to his mother.

Lin Jianshe: "My mother is that kind of person!"

"Sister, brother-in-law." Liu Yong ran back from outside.

"Xiaoyong." Lin Jianshe smiled and raised his chin towards his brother-in-law.

Liu Yong picked up Liu Qin's cup of honey water and drank it all, then wiped his mouth and asked, "Sister, did that damn old woman bully you?"

"How rude of you to speak." Yang Meifeng glared at her son, pretending to be angry.

Liu Qin shook her head. "She's not at home anymore. She wants to bully me but she doesn't have the chance."

Yang Meifeng was startled, "What do you mean?"

Liu Qin winked at Lin Jianshe, signaling him to speak.

"On the first day of our marriage, my mom divorced my dad."

What? Divorced!

This shocked Yang Meifeng and her family of three.

"My mom just used this as an excuse to make trouble with my dad, hoping that he would give in to her first and threatened him to divorce her. But my dad didn't spoil her and really divorced her. She couldn't bring herself to say no and actually moved out of the house with my sister."

Until now, Lin Jianshe still doesn’t think that his mother really wants to divorce his father.

His brother went to persuade her but she refused to go along with it. He was still making trouble and wanted all of them to beg her to go home.

"This is really..." Yang Meifeng looked like she didn't know what to say.

Liu Jianping said with a straight face: "Your mother is really wrong. No matter how much trouble there is between husband and wife, you can't joke about divorce. Divorce is so embarrassing, it makes the child lose face."

"What's even more interesting is that after Li Shuping moved out, she set up a stall at the entrance of our alley to sell dumplings." Liu Qin said with a sarcastic smile on her face.

"Oh, that's so embarrassing." Yang Meifeng frowned and began to apply eye drops.

"As a mother, even if she doesn't care about her own face, she should care about your face as a child. Jianshe, you are a formal employee. If people knew that your mother was selling things on the street, wouldn't it be a joke?"

"Who said it wasn't?" Lin Jianshe pouted a little aggrieved. See, his mother-in-law knows to care about him, but his biological mother doesn't.

"My dad was very angry and told us to pretend she didn't exist as our mother."

Yang Meifeng: Do you think Li Shuping is not your mother? That's great.

"Alas, she is your biological mother after all, you still have to acknowledge her."

Liu Jianping said to his wife, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go cook. Let's make braised pork with the meat we bought this afternoon. Jianshe loves it."

Lin Jianshe held Liu Qin's hand and smiled. His father-in-law was very kind and he knew that he loved braised pork.

He felt that he was much more comfortable at his father-in-law's house than at his own home.
