Chapter 519: Take Some Action

Xu Huanning's 180-degree transformation perfectly illustrates what it means to be a slacker at home and work hard outside, causing fans to tease her in the comment section.

In fact, Xu Huanning doesn’t particularly like socializing, and it was not her intention to visit the Xu family. She was even more afraid of being bored, so she brought the puppy with her. In case she accidentally got embarrassed, she could still pet the puppy.

The night before arriving, Xu Huanning briefly learned about her mother-in-law Liao Jiake through online channels. Netizens said that Lan Hui seemed difficult to get along with and her way of speaking made people uncomfortable, but when Xu Huanning got to know her, she found that it didn't seem as exaggerated as what was said online.

The ingredients Xu Huanning brought were particularly complete, as if she had come prepared.

"Auntie, I'll show you my cooking later." She told Lan Hui about some special side dishes that are only available in her hometown and that outsiders usually can't eat.

Lan Hui said happily: "Okay, then I will have to taste it later."

Seeing that the two of them were chatting happily, Liao Jiake felt like an outsider for some reason. Moreover, she had been married to the Xu family for so long, but she had never seen Lan Hui smile so happily.

It wasn't until Xu Huanning and Lan Hui were talking about sweets in the kitchen that Liao Jiake couldn't help but interrupt: "Mom, your blood sugar is high, you should eat less sweet things."

Lan Hui was unhappy after hearing this. She looked up at Liao Jiake with an impatient look on her face. "Don't I know my blood sugar is high? Do I need you to remind me? I don't eat it every day."

“…” Liao Jiake was suddenly speechless.

Sensing that the atmosphere was a little off, Xu Huanning stepped forward to help Liao Jiake out: "Auntie, Keke is also concerned about your health."

Lan Hui, however, showed no appreciation and didn't even give Liao Jiake any face. "What's the point of just talking? If she really cares about me, she should take some action."

[Keke has it so hard in this family. She gets scolded for even saying something caring...]

[My mother-in-law is the same. She never listens to what I say and always acts like she’s the only one who matters. I hate her so much.]

Ningning is so miserable, she has to be caught between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

Lan Hui was not happy with this marriage from the beginning.

However, she only has one son, Xu Zeyi, and he likes Liao Jiake and insists on marrying her. Lan Hui gave in because she couldn't resist him.

Now, she hopes that Liao Jiake will give birth to more children for the Xu family, and asks the kitchen to stew tonic for Liao Jiake every now and then to regulate her body. However, she would have thought that after so much time, there is still no movement in Liao Jiake's belly.

Lan Hui's resentment naturally accumulated.

In comparison, Meng Chuyuan felt more comfortable.

She had never suffered any grievances in the Lu family, and she didn't have to report anything to her mother-in-law.

At first, Lin Youjuan often had a cold face in front of the camera and didn't like to talk much. The audience was worried about Meng Chuyuan. As a result, nothing happened between the two of them until now.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Meng Chuyuan accidentally saw Lin Youjuan in the courtyard, so he walked over curiously.

Lin Youjuan smiled and said, "I'm making essential oils."

There were various bottles on the table, with flowers soaked in them. Meng Chuyuan picked up a bottle and studied it. It seemed that it had been there for quite some time.

"Mom, did you make all these?" Meng Chuyuan knew that Lin Youjuan liked flowers, but she never thought that in addition to flower arrangement, she could also use flowers to make essential oils.

"Yes." Lin Youjuan nodded, "I'm going to extract it now."
