"Dinner's ready! Dinner's ready!"
Aunt Liu busily brought the dishes to the table and greeted the people who were still chatting in the living room.
Wen Xingyue and the others arrived late, and after sitting down and chatting for a while, it was time for dinner.
"good."
Wen's mother pulled Wen Xingyue to sit down at the dining table.
Today, because my daughter is coming home, I've prepared a very lavish feast.
Stir-fried pork, braised chicken pieces, shrimp and meatball soup, garlic shrimp, braised pork ribs, stir-fried cabbage with glass noodles, Mapo tofu, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, stir-fried pork with chives, braised eggplant, steamed sausage and cured pork, and cold preserved egg salad.
Of course, Wen Xingyue's favorite sauerkraut fish was also there.
Because Wen Xingyue likes to eat meat, there are mostly meat dishes.
This meal was no less than celebrating the New Year.
Normally, the Wen family would only cook three or four dishes, but today's dishes were specially prepared.
"Yueyue, try this! You haven't been home in so long, you must be missing the taste of home."
As soon as she sat down, Wen's mother kept putting food on Wen Xingyue's plate.
She was afraid her daughter wouldn't have enough to eat.
"Tingxiao, help yourself. Make yourself at home and don't be shy."
Of course, she didn't forget to greet Huo Tingxiao. After all, the more she looked at her son-in-law, the more she liked him. Wen's mother had always thought highly of her son's good brother and was thinking about when to match her daughter with him.
Little did she expect that plans would change so quickly, and her daughter ended up getting involved with someone else herself.
Although Huo Tingxiao's leg is injured, Wen's mother is somewhat worried, but not too worried. Because his leg is broken, he wouldn't dare to treat Yueyue badly.
If Yueyue divorces him, how will he ever find a wife?
As for the fact that she couldn't move her legs and take care of her daughter, Wen's mother wasn't worried at all. Taking care of her daughter didn't necessarily require using her legs.
Huo Tingxiao's leg was injured, and her daughter didn't have to bear the risks of childbirth or go through a life-threatening ordeal. Wen's mother thought it was all good.
Wen's mother had been a mother herself, and she knew how hard pregnancy and childbirth were. The thought of her daughter having to endure the pain of pregnancy and childbirth one day made her heart ache and she shed tears.
Now it's all good. Tingxiao's leg is injured and he can't use it, but he's still very good to his daughter.
When she first learned that Huo Tingxiao's leg was injured, Wen's mother was indeed worried. She was so worried that her hair was falling out in clumps, and she couldn't eat or sleep well. But as she worried, she came to terms with it and even figured out the benefits.
Seeing that Huo Tingxiao's leg was crippled, he was no longer worried. Instead, he found Huo Tingxiao more and more pleasing to the eye.
Wen's mother was completely devoted to her daughter; as long as her daughter was doing well, she, as a mother, was at ease.
After all, the son-in-law is indeed handsome, and pleasing to the eye.
If we put in more effort in other areas, we won't let our daughter down.
Because of the Huo family's high status, even if their daughter has a bad temper, no one would dare to do anything to her.
Their family is rich, and the Huo family is powerful. Their daughter will never lack money and will not be bullied. It's pretty good.
As she pondered the benefits of Huo Tingxiao for her daughter, Wen's mother became more and more satisfied with him.
Hmm... I'll find an opportunity to talk to my daughter about this later. She's such a good son-in-law; she'd better keep him close.
"Tingxiao, eat more."
With a smile, Wen's mother used unused chopsticks to put some more food on Huo Tingxiao's plate.
"Thank you, Mom," Huo Tingxiao quickly said.
He felt that his mother-in-law was looking at him with great eagerness, like a cat seeing a mouse.
"Mom, where's my sister?"
Wen Xingyue looked at the pile of bowls, but didn't touch them. She looked around the table where only four people were sitting and asked a question.
I remember having an older sister, but I haven't seen her. Does she not like me? Well, I insulted her before and even occupied her house, so it's understandable that she doesn't like me.
Wen Xingyue thought of the beautiful woman in her memory. She didn't like that beautiful woman coming back and had scolded her many times.
It's understandable that the pretty lady doesn't like her.
The thought that the beautiful woman disliked her made Wen Xingyue feel somewhat disappointed.
I don't know if apologizing to the pretty lady will make her forgive me.
Wen Xingyue pondered to herself.
Before coming, Wen Xingyue was somewhat looking forward to it because she had a beautiful older sister.
Because all the flowers, grasses, and fish in the secret realm have brothers and sisters, she is the only peach tree in the secret realm and has no brothers or sisters.
Having come to the human world, with an older brother, parents, and possibly an older sister, Wen Xingyue was overjoyed.
And the older sister in my memory was very beautiful.
Wen Xingyue was even more excited.
I didn't expect to see the pretty lady when I arrived.
Wen Xingyue's words stunned everyone at the table. Wen's parents and Wen Rushang subconsciously looked up at a room on the second floor.
They didn't expect Wen Xingyue to bring up Wen Lingyue on her own initiative.
Because she had never liked Wen Lingyue, and Wen Lingyue knew that she didn't like her either, she stayed in her room upstairs and didn't come down today, afraid of disturbing them and also afraid that Wen Xingyue would be unhappy to see her.
But I never expected her to bring it up herself now.
Wen Lingyue, who had been cautiously watching from the corner on the second floor, heard the sound and her eyelashes trembled.
Is she looking for herself?
Doesn't she hate herself? Why would she ask herself that?
"Sister is upstairs. That lazybones sister, she's still sleeping until noon. Hurry up and go call Lingling down for lunch."
The younger daughter's true feelings were clear: she no longer disliked the older daughter and even cared about her. Mother Wen raised her head and greeted Wen Rushang.
He gestured for Wen Lingyue to come down quickly.
Both daughters were equally dear to Wen's mother, who loved both of them dearly. One was raised by her side from a young age, while the other had suffered a lot. Wen's mother cherished both of them.
She didn't understand why her younger daughter felt that they no longer loved them now that her older daughter had returned. She had never liked her older daughter, and the two of them would argue every time they met.
The couple felt both headache and heartache watching this.
But the eldest daughter is very sensible. Not only does she not argue with Yueyue, but she also gives in to Yueyue in every way and likes Yueyue very much.
The younger daughter stubbornly believes that now that the older daughter has returned, they no longer love her.
No matter how they tried to mediate, their youngest daughter just wouldn't believe it.
I never expected that the younger daughter would care about the older daughter now. If Lingling knew, she would definitely be very happy.
As a mother, Wen's mother could tell at a glance that her eldest daughter liked her younger daughter very much. However, the younger daughter did not like her, so the eldest daughter could only try to avoid her, for fear of appearing in front of her younger daughter and making Yueyue hate her even more.
Even just two days ago, when Lingling learned that Yueyue was coming back for dinner, she took the initiative to avoid it before they could even feel awkward, which made Wen's mother feel sorry for her.
My eldest daughter is so sensible.
Now that Yueyue is asking Lingling about it, Lingling knows she'll be very happy.
"I'll go right away."
Wen Rushang doted on both of his younger sisters, and he naturally knew that Lingling liked Yueyue. At that moment, he immediately stood up and left the dining table to find Wen Lingyue.
Hearing their conversation downstairs, Wen Lingyue quickly returned to her room.
