Chapter 467 A Good Mother-in-Law/Sister-in-Law Relationship

It was sunset, and the evening glow draped the mountains in a fiery red wedding gown.

The river at the entrance of Lianhua Village shimmered, as if it were shouting for this.

After a busy day, the villagers carried their farm tools and hurried home, hoping to finish their chores before dark so they could spend time with their wives.

Li Chongniang settled the child aside and began preparing today's dinner.

Just as they started the fire, they heard footsteps outside.

She quickly smiled and called out, "Husband, sister-in-law, you're back..."

The sound of footsteps from more than one person made her think it was Wan Qiqi and Chen Yongxing, but when she turned around, she saw someone she didn't want to see.

The smile on her face suddenly froze, and she looked ready to turn hostile at any moment.

But when she saw the other person clearly, she forcefully suppressed her anger and cried out, "Grandma, what brings you here!"

Wan Qiqi noticed her reluctance and explained, "The old lady has been busy in the wasteland all day. I'll have her stay for a meal, and then Chen Yongxing will take her home later."

Li Chongniang responded softly, then turned back to her work, muttering, "What help can she be? As long as she doesn't cause trouble..."

Her voice wasn't loud, but people standing in the yard could hear her clearly.

Grandma Chen's smile froze. She wanted to retort, but she was afraid that if she started arguing, Wan Qiqi would kick her out, so she chose to remain silent.

The eldest granddaughter-in-law is busy with the restaurant business and won't be able to stay at home for more than a few days.

As long as she can keep people happy during this period, once they leave, the Chen family will still be her domain. She can say whatever she wants about Li Chongniang, and no one will dare to utter a single word in her defense.

Who told her to be the eldest in the Chen family?

She didn't know that Wan Qiqi wouldn't give her that chance.

Dinner is really just dinner.

After dinner, Wan Qiqi packed some vegetables and meat and asked Chen Yongxing to take them back to the Chen family home, along with Old Mrs. Chen.

Chen Zhu will also be sent back.

Although Chen Zhu has no parents or grandmother now, his great-grandmother is still alive.

Since she values ​​boys so much, then she should raise them properly and not leave them in the Chen family as an orphanage.

Although Mrs. Chen was somewhat unwilling to leave, she had no choice but to leave with the child.

Li Chongniang stared at the meat in Chen Yongxing's hand for a long time, then reluctantly said, "Sister-in-law, it's one thing to give so many vegetables, but why give so much meat?"

She saw that there was at least a pound of meat, worth at least forty or fifty coins.

Although the Chen family is not short of forty or fifty coins now, she felt that giving them to Old Madam Chen was not worthwhile.

Wan Qiqi turned her head to look at her and said, "I know you don't like her, and neither do I, but we have to give Mother some face. Although Grandma did many things wrong, she didn't lie about helping Mother back then."

"Although Mother doesn't say anything, it's clear that she doesn't dislike Grandma as much as we do. We should also consider Mother's feelings and reputation."

Li Chongniang glanced at Wan Qiqi, shook her head, and said, "Sister-in-law, the way you call her 'mother' sounds just like your own mother."

“Now that I’ve married into the Chen family, I naturally have to treat my husband’s mother as my own mother.” Wan Qiqi smiled and continued, “How you treat your mother is how she will treat you. Although we are both married into the Chen family, your mother has never treated us as outsiders, has she?”

Li Chongniang thought it over carefully and realized that Wan Qiqi was right.

During the period immediately after she gave birth, Wang Zhi took care of her tirelessly and helped with the baby, never complaining about the hardship or fatigue.

More than three months have passed since she gave birth, yet she has never done any heavy work.

Even cooking was something I asked her to do because I was too busy with farm work lately.

Or in other families, knowing that a girl was born, the mother would be ordered around to do this and that even before she had finished her postpartum confinement.

But he recuperated for several months, and no one said anything.

When she first married into the family, she had grievances against her sister-in-law and didn't have much affection for her mother-in-law either.

But at this moment, she was very glad that she had married into the Chen family.

It's not because the Chen family's living conditions are so good now, but because they have such a good mother-in-law and sister-in-law, as well as a loving husband.

Recalling the past, Li Chongniang felt a pang of guilt and said to Wan Qiqi, "Sister-in-law, I was wrong about many things in the past. I'm sorry..."

"You don't need to apologize to me. None of you did anything wrong. I was out of my mind before and did a lot of wrong things." Wan Qiqi smiled, her eyes crinkling, as if she had truly let go of everything.

She had no complaints about the Chen family's attitude towards her, nor did she care about their attitude.

But at this moment, she treats these people as her real family, so she doesn't care about what they did before, because that wasn't her!

If there's anything I can't let go of right now, it's my original family!

However, her family members seemed to be almost non-existent in her life; they only appeared a few times and were never seen again.

Moreover, all of these incidents were caused by Wan Ziyan.

Thinking of this, Wan Qiqi suddenly wanted to know how Wan Ziyan's imperial examination went.

The results of the imperial examination should be out by now, right?

Has he already passed the imperial examination and is now preparing for the final examination?

Her thoughts drifted further and further away with the setting sun, and she didn't even realize that Wang Zhihe was standing behind her.

Wang Zhi listened to what her two daughters-in-law said.

She was happy that her family was harmonious and peaceful, everyone was busy with their own things, and they lived a comfortable life without worrying about going hungry.

But with Mrs. Chen, she felt sorry for her two daughters-in-law.

If she had been more assertive, perhaps the insect girl wouldn't have gotten sick after giving birth.
