Qin Xiangxiang was almost crying herself to death in her room, and she was waiting for Su Yi to come in and comfort her.

As a result, Su Yi and Li Yueniang slurped their noodles loudly outside, and then burst into laughter.

Qin Xiangxiang was grinding her teeth in her room, ready to go out and make a big splash, when she overheard Li Yueniang brainwashing Su Yi.

She felt a chill run through her instantly.

She was fooled.

Looking back now, I realize that Li Yueniang deliberately provoked her to get angry and eventually caused her to fight with Su Yi.

Then he pulled Su Yi's heart towards Su Changqing.

At that time, the treasures of the Su family and the resources in Su Yi's hands will all belong to Su Changqing and Su Jindong.

Hmph, Li Yueniang has quite the scheme.

Qin Xiangxiang wiped away her tears and tried to calm herself down.

She couldn't do that; she couldn't do as Li Yueniang wished.

Li Yueniang wanted to drive her crazy, to make Su Yi disappointed in her, and to draw his heart to Su Changqing's side, but she wouldn't let her have her way.

Qin Xiangxiang gritted her teeth. So what if it's acting? She can do that too. Let's see who can outdo whom.

At least I'm so much younger than her, I can outlast her.

After figuring things out, Qin Xiangxiang calmed down.

She pushed open the door and went out.

Since Li Yueniang kindly invited her to eat noodles, she would give her that courtesy.

Su Yi and Li Yueniang looked up at the same time, and saw Qin Xiangxiang, whose eyes were as red as a rabbit's, walk down to sit next to Su Yi with tenderness.

"Su Yi, I'm sorry, I was wrong just now."

"It was my fault for not controlling my emotions."

"I don't know what's wrong with my health lately, I often feel chest tightness, shortness of breath, and irritability."

"You know, I'm already very tired after a day's work, and I just want to rest well at night. If I don't rest well, I get irritable."

"Sister Li meant well, making me noodles in the middle of the night. I was ungrateful and wasted her kindness."

Li Yueniang stood there, stunned.

What's going on?

It's fully recovered in just a short while?

This person is a completely different person from before!

Su Yi watched as Qin Xiangxiang tugged at his sleeve and shook it twice in a coquettish manner, looking at him pitifully.

My heart softened instantly.

"Oh well, never mind, your Sister Li is very generous."

"You can't do that again."

Qin Xiangxiang looked at Su Yi and smiled through her tears.

Li Yueniang closed her eyes. It was disgusting; this middle-aged woman acting coquettishly was too much to bear.

"Sister Li, can you forgive me?"

Qin Xiangxiang turned to look at Li Yueniang.

Li Yueniang had no choice but to open her eyes. "Good child, I have never blamed you."

"But lately you've been feeling irritable and restless a lot? Is it that you feel inexplicably annoyed? And you can't sleep well? And everything seems to annoy you?"

Qin Xiangxiang didn't know what Li Yueniang meant, and nodded warily.

Li Yueniang clapped her hands, "I know what's going on!"

You're going through menopause!

"What you're going through is menopause! But don't worry, every woman goes through this. I'll make you something to cool you down tomorrow."

Qin Xiangxiang's face turned green, and she roared in her heart, "You're the one who's gone through menopause! Your whole family is gone through menopause!"

But she still had a smile on her face, "No need, Sister Li, it's not my time yet."

After eating the noodles, Li Yueniang was finally willing to go to sleep.

Qin Xiangxiang breathed a sigh of relief; the old woman finally couldn't hold on any longer.

Her eyelids were almost too heavy to keep open; this was the first time she'd ever gotten up at 2 a.m. to eat noodles.

She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow in her room, but she felt like she had only closed her eyes for a short while when she heard the sound of a pot being banged outside.

Bang bang bang bang bang~

Qin Xiangxiang grabbed the blanket and covered her head, but the sound kept drilling into her ears.

"Ahhhhh~"

Su Yi, still groggy, scrambled to his feet. "What's wrong with you now?"

"What's wrong? Can't you hear me?"

"What's going on so early in the morning?"

Although Qin Xiangxiang was about to explode, she tried her best to control her tone.

The couple went out, and Li Yueniang was sitting on the living room table, looking refreshed and wielding a knife to chop meat.

"Sister Li, what are you doing now? It's not even dawn yet!"

When Li Yueniang saw Qin Xiangxiang, her eyes lit up.

"Hey, Xiangxiang, you're up? Did I wake you up?"

"Ah, it was so much better when you were wives, you could sleep as long as you wanted."

“When I was a daughter-in-law, I had to take care of Su Yi at night and get up at dawn to serve my mother-in-law.”

“I have to wait at the door to pay my respects before my mother-in-law gets up. After she gets up, I have to help her get dressed and wash up, and then help her finish her breakfast before I can go home.”

"It's a good thing that it's a new China now, otherwise, with your lazy nature, you wouldn't even be able to enter the Su family as a concubine."

Qin Xiangxiang felt a pain in her chest again, and she took a deep breath.

"Sister Li, you said it yourself, that's all in the past. That kind of thing isn't fashionable anymore. You shouldn't talk about it outside either. If someone hears you, they might report you for being a superstitious person!"

Li Yueniang grinned, "I know it's all in the past. Things are different now. That's why I, as your mother-in-law, got up early this morning to take care of you, my daughter-in-law!"

"Look, I'm chopping meat. After I'm done, make the dumplings for us before you go to work."

Qin Xiangxiang listened to Li Yueniang's sarcastic tone and tried her best to control her anger. "Sister Li, a housekeeper will be coming over later. Just ask her to do it."

"And another thing, you're chopping meat, fine, but you don't even chop it in the kitchen, and you don't even use a cutting board, you're chopping it in the living room with a ceramic basin? Aren't you deliberately trying to keep us from sleeping?"

"With your banging, no basin could withstand your pounding!"

Li Yueniang looked up, her face filled with fear. "Su Yi, did I do something wrong? Sigh, I'm getting old, and people dislike me now~"

Su Yi quickly stepped forward, "No, no, it's just that Xiangxiang is being unreasonable."

"Xiangxiang, look at you! Your older sister got up early this morning to chop meat and make dumplings for us, and look at your attitude!"

"You're so irritable first thing in the morning. It seems you're really going through menopause. I think you should stop going to work and go see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to get your pulse checked."

"I've never seen you get this angry before!"

Qin Xiangxiang watched as Li Yueniang, behind Su Yi's back, gave her a provocative smile, and the veins on her forehead bulged.

"Make me dumplings, make me dumplings! Have you forgotten that I've been eating at the hospital for breakfast and lunch?"

"There's an auntie to make dumplings, why would she need to get up early and bang on pots and pans?"

Feeling pitiful and helpless, Li Yueniang weakly cried out to Su Yi, "Su Yi~ she's so fierce~"

Su Yi glared at her, "You still dare to talk back! Apologize to your sister right now!"

Qin Xiangxiang was about to burst into a tirade when she suddenly remembered what happened last night. Her eyes lit up and she immediately realized that Li Yueniang had done it on purpose!

Take a deep breath, "Whoosh~"

"Sis, I'm so sorry, it's my fault. You know I didn't go to bed until midnight last night, and I have to go to work soon. It's not even dawn yet and you're still here banging and typing..."

Li Yueniang looked at Su Yi innocently, "Su Yi, are there so many rules in this house now?"
