Looking at Su Qingyao's cabbage, it's almost been "chopped into eight pieces".
Looking at the scene before her, Zhang Ruoshui smiled helplessly. To save face for her daughter-in-law, she didn't remind Su Qingyao that the cabbage had been damaged.
...
Under Zhang Ruoshui's meticulous arrangements, the kitchen became Lin Yinuo's stage to fully showcase her culinary skills.
Her technique was skillful, her movements fluid and graceful, and every stir-fry and seasoning was full of the charm of life.
Su Qingyao, on the other hand, was like a little helper, busying herself around, handing out ingredients and washing dishes, her eyes full of frustration.
A short while later,
The kitchen was filled with an enticing aroma, and a table was laden with a variety of delicious and visually appealing dishes.
Zhang Ruoshui took off her apron and walked out of the kitchen.
Seeing Leng Yue and Xiao Lin's mother chatting in the living room, she put on a warm smile, raised her voice, and greeted them enthusiastically, "Xiao Yue, Xiao Lin's mother, come and eat! The dishes are all ready!"
Everyone sat around the dining table without any restraint or formality.
After dinner, everything was tidied up neatly.
Su Qingyao took a deep breath to calm her slightly nervous emotions and slowly said, "Mom, I have something I want to discuss with you."
Lin Yinuo, who had originally planned to say goodbye to Zhang Ruoshui and leave, sat back down on the sofa after hearing Su Qingyao's words, for reasons unknown.
Zhang Ruoshui gently placed the fruit plate on the coffee table, then slowly sat down opposite Su Qingyao.
His eyes were full of concern: "What's wrong, Xiao Su? Don't worry, just tell me. Did that brat Lu Qingzhou bully you?"
Her tone carried an air of unquestionable certainty, as if she would immediately seek trouble with Lu Qingzhou if Su Qingyao suffered even the slightest injustice.
Su Qingyao quickly waved her hand, her face full of a happy smile: "No, no, Qingzhou is very good to me and Zhouzhou."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "I'm thinking of buying a bigger house so I can bring you over and we can live together."
Zhang Ruoshui was slightly taken aback, clearly not expecting Su Qingyao to tell her about this.
Her gaze lowered slightly as she pondered for a moment.
After a moment, she raised her head and slowly said, "I'm an old woman, I won't live with you young people and cause you trouble. You should live on your own."
Hearing Zhang Ruoshui say this, Su Qingyao was at a loss and instinctively gripped the corner of the sofa tightly with both hands.
She was extremely conflicted. Should she just tell him her true thoughts? That would be so embarrassing; Su Qingyao couldn't bring herself to say it.
Besides, Lin Yinuo and her daughter were also present.
Leng Yue couldn't bear to watch Su Qingyao's embarrassed state any longer.
I thought to myself, "They can't even handle this little thing, sigh."
She coughed lightly, interrupting at the opportune moment, "Aunt Zhang, Yao Yao is just being filial. They're all worried about you living here alone. They're concerned about whether you're sleeping and eating well."
"I've been looking forward to having a grandson soon, haven't I? If you move in with us, you can help take care of Zhouzhou, and your grandson will come sooner, right, Auntie? Hehe..."
Later on, Leng Yue directly teased Su Qingyao.
Su Qingyao blushed instantly upon hearing this, glared at Leng Yue, and then gently lowered her head.
Listening to Leng Yue's eloquent speech, Zhang Ruoshui's smile almost overflowed. Half-jokingly, she said, "Little Yue, if you were my daughter-in-law, this old woman of mine would probably live another twenty years or so. I'd be laughing non-stop every day, hehehe..."
Upon hearing this, Leng Yue's smile instantly froze on her face.
Her cheeks flushed bright red, like ripe tomatoes. Embarrassed and at a loss for what to do, she stammered, "Aunt Zhang, you flatter me, you flatter me."
Zhang Ruoshui smiled broadly, then waved her hand at Leng Yue: "Auntie was just joking with you, don't take it to heart."
Being with you young people makes me genuinely happy.
She paused at this point.
I feel it's time to tell my son and daughter-in-law some things.
No matter how difficult things are for the Lu family, they haven't fallen so low that they need two daughters-in-law to support the family.
Besides, Lu Qingzhou is currently running back and forth between two places, which isn't a good solution. She's spending too little time with her two daughters-in-law and children, which is not what she wants to see.
After a moment's thought, she made up her mind and looked at Su Qingyao, saying, "Little Su, I'm very happy that you have such filial piety."
Okay, let's put the house issue on hold for now. Mom has a way to handle it. Let's have a family get-together on Saturday night; Mom has something to tell you all."
Su Qingyao felt a little curious after hearing her mother-in-law's words.
I can't figure out what my mother-in-law's methods are for resolving the house issue.
After all, that's a considerable sum of money.
But she was still sensible enough not to ask any more questions, and just nodded obediently.
Lin Yinuo glanced at the time and decided it was about time to go back.
She then politely said goodbye to the group: "Aunt Zhang, Miss Su, Miss Leng Yue, you can continue your conversation. We'll head back now."
Zhang Ruoshui warmly escorted the mother and daughter to the outside of the courtyard.
"Take care, and come visit us anytime you have time."
"Okay, Aunt Zhang, you should go back now." Lin Yinuo replied while waving to Zhang Ruoshui.
Subsequently,
The mother and daughter got into the car, which slowly started and gradually disappeared into the alley.
On the way back,
Lin Yinuo's mother hesitated several times, her lips slightly parted, but she never uttered a sound.
