He moved the corners of her lips and couldn't help asking, "The daughter-in-law can still take care of the affairs of the inner house. My third sister-in-law is not familiar with these things, so I'm afraid it won't be easy for her to take over rashly."
The old lady looked at Hai lovingly, then said to He, "Your third brother's wife has been back in Beijing for almost a year now. Whether it's her ability as a housekeeper or her filial piety towards me, I think she's not bad."
"You are all the same in my heart. Since you are not in good health, let her take more responsibility."
Then he asked Hai in a gentle voice, "I was a little strict with you in the past, but it was for your own good. You don't hold a grudge against me, do you?"
Hai said hurriedly: "My daughter-in-law doesn't dare."
But I was very nervous, not knowing what my mother-in-law was making a fuss about.
He and Su Chengxun looked at each other, unable to figure out the reason.
Hai remembered that Su Qingyu had just talked to the old lady alone for a long time, and guessed that it was probably because of what she said.

Seeing the old lady's insistence, He said unwillingly, "Since Third Sister-in-law wants to take charge, then let her take over. From now on, the whole family's food, clothing, and expenses will all depend on Third Sister-in-law."
In reality, the Su family's household expenses were already running low. He Shi didn't want to give up, unwilling to relinquish power. Now that Hai Shi had taken over, she was also a bit interested in watching the fun. Without a way to make money, whoever was in charge would have a headache.
Hai was about to refuse, but Su Qingyu gave her a look, and Hai didn't say anything. She believed Su Qingyu wouldn't harm her, and she had her reasons for doing so.
After finishing the story, Su Qingyu left Songhe Hall with everyone else.
After everyone else left, she followed Su Chengxun and Hai to the study in Qingyin Garden.
