Wei Mingshen felt very guilty and looked at his mother gently, saying, "I don't know either, Mother."
Cao Maizi frowned, sighed, and said, "Could it be that she has a health problem? Oh, that's possible. You should take her to the hospital for a checkup..."
"Mother, let's talk about it later," Wei Mingshen interrupted her.
Cao Maizi was displeased. "What are you saying, child? We need to hurry up with this. Why are you saying we'll talk about it later? Get treatment for your illness as soon as possible, and have children while you're still young. Listen to your mother. If you don't, I'll talk to Xue Li later."
"Mother, don't make things worse!" Wei Mingshen said in a low voice.
Cao Maizi was startled by her son, and even Wei Tiezhu, who was tending the fire, looked up at the mother and son.
Wei Mingshen said to his father, "It's alright, you keep your fire burning."
Then she said to Cao Maizi, "Mother, don't get involved in this. Xue Li and I know what we're doing."
Cao Maizi knew her daughter-in-law was a woman of her own mind, so she nodded when she heard her son say this: "Alright, as long as you two know what you're doing, then I can just relax and wait to hold my grandson."
Wei Mingshen felt even worse. He said to himself, "Father, Mother, I'm sorry."
But give me time, and I will win back the daughter-in-law you like.
As Cao Maizi cut meat, she and her son dreamed about the wonderful days to come, and every scene in her dream included Xue Li...
Wei Mingshen felt even more guilty. He was worried that his parents wouldn't be able to handle it after he announced his divorce from Shirley.
After a while of frying and stir-frying, a table full of dishes was laid out. Cao Maizi happily called his daughter-in-law out of the house, Wei Mingshen opened the wine, and the family sat down around the table.
Looking at her parents-in-law who had always taken such good care of her, Su Xueli felt a pang of reluctance and guilt. She raised her wine glass, cupped it in both hands, and invited them to drink. She said sincerely, "Father, Mother, ever since I married into this family, you have always protected me and treated me like your own daughter. No, even better than your own daughter. I remember it all. Today, I would like to offer you both a toast. I will drink first as a sign of respect."
She tilted her head back and downed the entire cup of wine in one gulp.
Then he poured himself another cup, held it in both hands, and said to the two elders, "We can't drink odd amounts, we have to drink even amounts. I'll toast you two again."
Then I downed a second glass.
Cao Maizi and Wei Tiezhu had no idea what their daughter-in-law was doing, so they could only drink the wine along with her and watch Su Xueli with smiles.
Cao Maizi instructed her, "Xueli, drinking two cups of wine in a row is not good. You should eat your food quickly, and we can eat and drink at the same time."
Wei Mingshen lowered his head and remained silent.
Wei Mingyue suddenly picked up her wine glass and said to Su Xueli, "Sister-in-law, I've made things difficult for you these past few days, and I apologize to you today."
After saying that, he also made one.
Su Xueli felt quite embarrassed. Although Wei Mingyue had caused quite a bit of trouble in the two months since she married into the family, she was always the one who suffered humiliation and loss.
So she didn't say anything and just joined Wei Mingyue in having one too.
Wei Mingyue insisted on drinking a double cup today, and then Su Xueli also drank a double cup.
Perhaps because she was feeling down, Su Xueli had drunk some alcohol. Her cheeks flushed red and her eyes welled up with tears. Wei Mingshen didn't dare to look at her.
Su Xueli poured herself another drink, raised her glass to Wei Mingshen, and said, "Let's have a drink together, from now on we're even, and may we both be well."
"What did she say?" Cao Maizi suddenly looked at Wei Tiezhu.
