Therefore, she has no need to compromise herself for anything, nor does she need to please her mother-in-law.
Although it's a pathetic thought to think this way, it's the truth.
If she didn't want to cause her son to get a divorce, she really couldn't interfere in Tang Xiaoxiao's affairs.
Tsk, she's really having a tough time as a mother-in-law...
Guo Mingli thought to herself as she placed the plates on the table.
However, his face showed no sign of anything amiss.
When they sat down to eat, the Han couple praised Tang's mother's cooking skills.
This wasn't just the two of them offering insincere flattery. Tang's mother was already quite skilled at cooking, and the ingredients she used were all from Tang Xiaoxiao's space, so the taste was naturally excellent. Even simple home-style dishes were irresistible.
Tang's mother didn't take credit, saying it was all thanks to the ingredients. Otherwise, how could people line up to buy Tang Xiaoxiao's expensive food? The food was indeed worth it.
When Han's parents thought of the vegetables and fruits that Tang Xiaoxiao had once sent to their home, they couldn't help but nod to themselves. However, without comparison, there is no harm. Guo Mingli had also cooked with the same ingredients before, but the taste was still not as good as this meal.
Han's father and Han Yunqi exchanged a silent glance and wisely chose not to bring it up.
Mr. Han picked up a piece of roasted green beans with his chopsticks and put it in Mrs. Han's bowl: "You like to eat this."
Tang's mother glanced at Han's father, then at her husband who was engrossed in eating, and angrily lowered her head to shovel a mouthful of rice.
Other people's husbands are just too enviable.
Tang Xiaoxiao saw her mother's little trick and chuckled to herself.
Her father was indeed a man who lacked romantic understanding; he was dull and rarely showed any tenderness.
To be honest, Han Shiping was quite a character. When Guo Mingli was acting irrationally, he showed absolutely no mercy, scolding his wife like a son. But when Guo Mingli wasn't confused, he was genuinely good to her, taking care of her in every way. Han Yunqi was somewhat like his father in this respect, but he didn't do it as well as his father.
So Guo Mingli is fearless except for her husband. It's not so much that she's afraid, but rather that everyone has their counter, and Han Shiping is the one who can keep her in check.
Tang Xiaoxiao wasn't one to be clueless. After Han Shiping exclaimed that the dish was indeed delicious, she chimed in, "The K City branch will be producing soon. I'll have them deliver a batch to you regularly. It won't take much effort. Anyway, K City and D City aren't too far apart, unlike here where a round trip takes half a day."
These words made Mr. and Mrs. Han feel much more at ease. Guo Mingli smiled and said, "There's no need for such trouble. I heard from Yunqi that there's a branch of your fruit and vegetable store in D City. I can just go and buy it myself whenever I want."
"It's quite far away, but it's still somewhat convenient. However, Mother-in-law, you can just stroll around when you have time. It's even better if you want to pick something out yourself. You can choose whatever you like or dislike. I'll tell the people in the store later, and you can just go and take whatever you want. It's our own store, so there's no reason for us to make you spend money."
Tang Xiaoxiao kept talking as she ate.
Since both Guo Mingli and Tang's mother were present, Tang Xiaoxiao stopped calling Guo Mingli "Mom," otherwise the two mothers would be easily confused, and she wouldn't know who she was calling.
Guo Mingli was finally relieved. Although her daughter-in-law was very capable, she was not arrogant in front of her and was not the kind of person who would disregard her elders just because she was capable.
