Yang took great pains to avoid embarrassing herself in front of others and save the Han family's reputation. However, it was too tiring. It was more tiring than working in the fields. It was like fighting a war. Being the wife of a rich family was not something that ordinary people could do.

However, if Yang had seen An's meaningful smile when she left, she would not have thought so. An had dealt with people so many times that she knew what kind of person Yang was. She just wanted to vent her daughter's anger in a roundabout way. Her words were full of words that Yang could not understand. She acted like the mistress of the house and almost made Yang sweat in anxiety. If An had not taken into consideration that Yang still had an injury on her head, she would not have gone too far. Don't think that talking is easy. It is actually a science.

Yang finally finished dealing with An and was about to lie down to rest when Liu and Li came in together: "Mother, Master Su and Madam Su will have lunch at our house this afternoon. We don't have anything good here. Master Su and Madam Su are both rich ladies. Let's ask you how to entertain them."

This gave Yang a headache again. Their family only had this condition, and there were many other things they could not do. But if they treated Mr. Su and Mrs. Su as ordinary in-laws, they could not do it, and it would also be disrespectful. No matter who from their family went to the Su family, the hospitality was impeccable. Moreover, Mr. Su and Mrs. Su brought so many gifts, which might cost a lot of money. Their family could not be stingy.

"Take out everything you have at home. If there is anything missing, borrow some from the neighbors nearby. After all, you can't treat your in-laws unfairly." Yang made up her mind. No matter whether it was the previous pain manuscript or the supplements brought by An, they were all precious things. She couldn't be stingy. Even if she had to take out the family's savings, she had to entertain the guests well. Yang actually had a secret thought in her heart and didn't want to be looked down upon by the people of the Su family.

But although Yang's idea was good, it was not so easy to implement, especially since Mr. Su and Mrs. Su came suddenly this time and there was no preparation at all.

"Mom, besides the food we bought last time, we also have some vegetables. My fourth brother went hunting yesterday afternoon and brought back some pheasants, which he stewed for you to eat. We don't have any meat or vegetables at home. Even if we borrow from the villagers, we can still get some vegetables and radishes. Life is hard these days, and no one is willing to spend money to buy meat unless it's a big day, so we can't borrow it. We do have some eggs at home."

Li was an honest person, she spoke matter-of-factly, looking embarrassed. She was very grateful to her fourth brother's wife for taking such good care of their second branch and teaching Fu Ge'er to read and write. She wanted to treat the Su family well, but unfortunately her family only had the conditions and she could not do better.

"How about we kill the old hen at home and stew it. Fourth brother's wife's family is not an ordinary family. They come here in person to show that they respect our Han family. We can't let anyone look down on us." Liu was generous this time and proposed to kill the old hen at home. It can be seen that she spent a lot of money.

Liu saw the gift that An brought and found it really generous. Besides, the fourth son's wife was usually quite nice to her and her two daughters. Moreover, she had something to ask of the fourth son's wife and the Su family, and she wanted to curry favor with them immediately. How could she not be reluctant? Since there was nothing delicious at home, she even had her eyes on the old hen that laid eggs.

An old hen can lay one egg a day, and even when Yang had a head injury and needed to recuperate, they were reluctant to kill it for food. Now, after hearing what Liu said, Yang was a little shaken. Although there was only one laying hen in the family, it would be a pity to kill it, but compared with what her in-laws gave her, it was worth nothing. So she just killed it. She couldn't let people eat here without any meat dishes.

"Okay, just kill it, and then go buy a few chicks to raise."

Liu and Li listened to Yang's words and immediately did as she said. However, the old hens would not stay in the chicken coop in broad daylight. When they saw someone trying to catch them, they immediately fluttered their wings and ran away. It was not easy to catch them, and the noise they made was quite loud, which attracted Su Wenyue out.

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, what are you doing? Why are you chasing the old hen? Didn't mother say that if you scare the old hen, it will stop laying eggs?"

"It's okay. We don't need it to lay eggs from now on. Mother has said that we will slaughter the old hen and stew it at noon today. It's a rare occasion for our in-laws to come, so we have to entertain them well and not neglect them." Liu said in a loud voice, and even An, who was sitting in the room, could hear her voice.

Su Wenyue felt relieved. She appreciated the hospitality of her in-laws to her family. However, she decided not to kill the old hen. She stopped Liu and said, "Sister-in-law, it's not necessary. My mother and her family just came to see mother-in-law. They are relieved to see that she is fine. They will go back soon and will not stay for lunch. Don't bother. There is only one old hen at home. Mother is counting on it to lay eggs."

"What? Why are you going back so soon? You didn't even have lunch. This is too hasty?" Liu was stunned when she heard Su Wenyue say that. She didn't know whether she was disappointed or something else. She looked embarrassed. She still wanted to perform well in front of Mr. Su and Mrs. Su.

"Yes, fourth sister-in-law, this is too hasty. It's rare for the in-laws to come over, you should at least stay and have lunch before leaving. Why are you so anxious?" Li rarely expressed her opinions on weekdays, but now she was like Liu. Liu wanted to curry favor with Master Su, while Li wanted to show her appreciation.

"Really, that's not necessary. My parents only made the trip out of concern, and they rushed back to take care of it. I appreciate the kindness of mother-in-law and you guys. We are all family, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Although Su Wenyue refused, she said it nicely. Mr. Su and Mrs. An didn't want to cause too much trouble for the Han family, and she had the same idea. It was just an ordinary meal for her parents, but the Han family put so much effort into it. She would treat her parents well after the family was divided in the future.

"This, the master of this wealthy family is just busy. If he has to rush back, it must be something important. We really don't want to delay him." When they heard Su Wenyue say that Master Su and Madam Su had something they had to rush back to deal with, they didn't want to stay any longer in case they delayed their important business.

"Then we'll have to wait until our in-laws come and entertain them well. They came in a hurry and we weren't prepared. We don't even have much food at home. Next time they come, just let us know in advance and we'll definitely entertain them well." Liu felt a little regretful, but the fourth daughter-in-law was there anyway, so she went back and begged her to help talk to them.
