"Mom, no need. Xikang and I both have jobs. We haven't touched the resettlement allowance you gave us before."

Wu Yuhua and Sheng Xikang both have high salaries and good benefits from their employers. They own their own houses in the capital and don't need to rent, so they have no financial burden.

The two of them would cook something simple for breakfast, eat lunch at their respective company cafeterias, and cook something when they got home in the evening if they felt like it, or go to Wu's house for dinner if they didn't. So their daily expenses weren't high.

Wu Yuhua saved all the betrothal gifts, the red envelopes for changing the bride's address, the settlement allowance, and the hidden treasures secretly given by the Wu family.

So the young couple had a lot of money, how could she possibly ask her mother-in-law for more money?

“That’s different. Those are for you to live on, but this is for my grandchildren as their grandmother.”

Listen to me, keep the money, and buy whatever you want to eat. Don't go hungry.

Pregnancy is the hardest time for a woman, so you can't be careless. This family will only have one child from now on, so she has to take good care of herself. Zhang Shuzhen didn't care about any of that and insisted on stuffing the money into Wu Yuhua's hand.

"Don't argue with me, okay? You're pregnant now, and the baby is the most important thing. Don't be shy with Mom, just spend what you've given me as you please."

With her mother-in-law being so hospitable, Wu Yuhua simply couldn't refuse and had no choice but to obediently accept the money.

To welcome her parents-in-law, Wu Yuhua prepared a lot of delicious food and even made dumplings.

Sheng Xitai happened to be free of class that evening, so he came over, and the family had a lively dinner together.

Sheng Liancheng and his wife stayed at their third son's place, and the next day they visited Old Wu at the Wu family home.

After that, the couple traveled around the capital and bought a lot of things, most of which were for Wu Yuhua.

When a woman is pregnant, the worst thing is to catch a cold. Winters in the capital are quite cold, and Zhang Shuzhen was worried that her daughter-in-law would get cold and harm her health.

So she went to the store and bought cloth and cotton to make a pair of loose-fitting cotton pants for Wu Yuhua to wear.

After Wu Yuhua and Sheng Xikang got married, they returned to the capital to live, which basically meant that she never lived with her mother-in-law.

Previously, she had only heard her sister-in-law Zhou Qinglan say how good her mother-in-law was, but in reality, she was somewhat skeptical.

In a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, it's already good enough if they can respect each other and be polite to each other. How many mothers-in-law really treat their daughters-in-law like their own daughters?

But now, Wu Yuhua truly understood just how wonderful it was that her sister-in-law had described them as having a good mother-in-law.

When she put on the loose and soft cotton pants that her mother-in-law had specially made, she felt warm not only physically but also emotionally.

"Mom, thank you so much. These cotton pants are so warm and fit me perfectly."

"Mom, your needlework is really good, much better than my mom's," Wu Yuhua said happily.

"How can that be the same? Your mother has a job, but the other person has to go to work."

"I'm just a housewife with a lot of kids at home. If I'm not good at needlework, Xikang and the others will freeze." Zhang Shuzhen was overjoyed by her daughter-in-law's praise.

"Um, the swaddle blanket, quilt, and diaper pads you used when you gave birth, as well as the baby's clothes and bib, I'll make them for you when I get home."

These things, no matter how you buy them outside, are never as good as what you make yourself.

Zhang Shuzhen was overjoyed by her daughter-in-law's praise and immediately offered to take care of everything the baby would need after birth.

"Oh, thank you, Mom. I really don't understand these things, so I won't prepare anything. I'll just use what's readily available."

Wu Yuhua didn't stand on ceremony with her mother-in-law and replied directly.

Zhang Shuzhen and Wu Yuhua, this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, got along very well, which relieved Sheng Xikang.
