Everything was on track. After Chen Hongping finished her own business, she saw her biological mother Chen Xiaoying walking around several stores all day long, working so hard at such an old age, and she had nothing to do, so she decided to help out in the restaurant.

Chen Xiaoying was happy about it, thinking that she had no reliable helper. If her eldest daughter could take care of the affairs of several stores, she would let her helper in the future.

Chen Hongping works efficiently and is also very skilled in greeting guests who come to dine. She seems like she has been working in the catering industry for more than ten years and does not look like a novice at all.

Zhao Xueyan didn't think that her status was gone after Chen Hongping came. She knew in her heart that her mother-in-law had her own ideas.

She was just thinking about what happened to her man Li Hongqiang.

It was past lunchtime and the hourly workers in the store had gone off work. Chen Hongping collected the dishes from the last table and saw another middle-aged woman coming into the store. She greeted her with a smile as usual: "You're here. What do you want to eat?"

Li Hongyan stared straight at Chen Hongping, looking her up and down. Seeing that the woman in front of her treated the store as her own and greeted her, her heart skipped a beat and she felt uncomfortable.

Zhao Xueyan turned around and saw Li Hongyan, and her mouth suddenly became speechless. She called Chen Hongping "big sister", so what should she call Li Hongyan?

"Xueyan, who is she?"

Li Hongyan asked Zhao Xueyan in a particularly bad tone.

Chen Hongping also looked at Li Hongyan. The indifference, calculation and hostility in her eyes almost turned into knives and stabbed her in the face.

She understood. Was this the Li Hongyan?

Since Chen Hongping recognized her biological mother Chen Xiaoying, she has not seen Li Hongyan. Except for Li Hongli at the beginning, no one mentioned this person in front of her, for fear that she would feel uncomfortable.

Today, Li Hongyan came to her door herself, and she finally met her.

"I'm Chen Hongping, and this shop is owned by my mother. Who are you? Are you here to eat?" she asked deliberately with a smile.

Chen Hongping has been a strong-willed person since she was young. She didn't need to be strong or not. Just because she had a lame father, a blind mother, and two mentally retarded brothers, she could be bullied to death.

Even some old bachelors in the village had ill intentions towards her. Sometimes when she was working or walking alone, they would use hemp candy or something to coax her, saying, "Come here, uncle will show you something good."

She was never a wimp.

How could this woman who had replaced her and lived a stable life for more than 40 years have the right to show disdain in front of her? How dare she stare at her?

"Don't you know who I am?" Li Hongyan raised her chin, drooped her eyelids, and looked at Chen Hongping coldly.

Chen Hongping found it funny: "Why should I know who you are? Do you think you are such a great person that everyone needs to know who you are?"

Li Hongyan understood and recognized who this woman was.

She was too lazy to talk to her. She was innocent of the fact that the two of them had been swapped since they were babies, so she didn't feel that she owed this woman anything.

"Where's mom? Where is mom?" Li Hongyan ignored Chen Hongping and spoke directly to Zhao Xueyan.

Zhao Xueyan was embarrassed. She looked at Chen Hongping and wondered what she wanted to say to Li Hongyan.

Chen Hongping said, "She doesn't know. If you have something to say, it's the same if you tell me."

She did it on purpose.

You can never judge a person by his appearance. My third brother's sister-in-law Zhao Xueyan calls me "big sister" all the time, and she is quite affectionate to call her that. But when this Li Hongyan comes, who knows if she feels the same way as Li Hongli, and likes Li Hongyan more than Li Hongli?

Zhao Xueyan is not stupid either. Li Hongyan has always been strong. Even if she has been married for decades, all matters of her parents' home have to be listened to her. What she says counts, and if what others say is not to her liking, then it is all wrong.

Zhao Xueyan has a softer personality and is a little afraid of Li Hongyan.

But after spending a few days with her sister-in-law Chen Hongping, she found that Chen Hongping was not someone to be trifled with.

Chen Hongping is not like her mother-in-law's other six children, who are almost all weak in character. However, Chen Hongping is unexpectedly very thoughtful, able to stick to her own opinions, act in a generous and generous manner, and mean what she says.

She interrupted her and stopped her from speaking.

Li Hongyan also stared at her, waiting to see her attitude.

Doesn't this force her to choose which one of them to side with?

"Xueyan, the third brother will be back soon. I have been very kind to him over the years. He is a conscientious man. Pengfei and his friends have always known that their third uncle is good to them. After they finish college, they will definitely be filial to their uncle. Of course, they will not forget you as their aunt." Li Hongyan said proudly.

She wanted Zhao Xueyan to think it over clearly.

Zhao Xueyan was afraid of Li Hongyan, not only because she was too strong, but most importantly because her man listened to Li Hongyan and she was afraid that her man would beat her.

"It's hilarious." Zhao Xueyan was still embarrassed and didn't say anything. Chen Hongping said to Li Hongyan, "You are the sister who made the brothers go out to work and gave you the wages they earned for decades. I have only heard of being filial to parents and grandparents, but I have never heard of being filial to uncles, let alone spending other people's hard-earned money and saying that they are not bad to them."

"How can you be so shameless! Xueyan, your man is waiting for his three nephews who are like bottomless pits to be filial to him. Do you think it's possible?"

Zhao Xueyan used to believe it a little bit, mainly because what Li Hongyan said sounded like the truth and her husband Li Hongqiang also said it all the time, so she believed it.

But now, after spending a long time with smart people, I realized that what Li Hongyan said was just a trick.

She shook her head: "Sister Hongyan, I have my own daughter, so I won't wait for Pengfei and the others to be filial to me. I have things to do, so I'll go first."

She hurried to the kitchen.

Chen Hongping sneered and continued packing without even looking at Li Hongyan.

Li Hongyan was stunned: "Sister Hongyan? What is that name?"

This is obviously not the way to address your relatives.

"If you have nothing to do, just get out. We still have business to do here." Chen Hongping said to Li Hongyan with disdain.

Li Hongyan stared at Chen Hongping: "Does your mother know that you are so arrogant?"

Chen Hongping chuckled: "I am so arrogant, of course it is my biological mother who gives me the confidence. Don't you want to find your biological mother? Why are you still relying on my mother?"

Li Hongyan was immediately furious. Chen Xiaoying had told Chen Hongping such private matters without leaving any room for her. Did she miss this daughter whom she hadn't seen for more than 40 years so much?

"I can't talk to you. Mom is not here, so I'll wait for her here." Li Hongyan never takes her face seriously. Only those with thick skin can gain benefits, while those with thin skin will always suffer losses.

Li Hongyan sat down and refused to move.

Chen Hongping thought about it and ignored her. Fighting was inappropriate. The store was busy with people coming and going and they had to do business.

When Chen Xiaoying came back, she saw Li Hongyan at first sight.

"What are you doing here?"

If you are a self-conscious person and want to keep your last bit of face, don't come close to me.

Li Hongyan's eyes immediately turned red, and her voice became soft: "Mom, you, you really don't want me anymore? Mom..."

She looked so pitiful.

But what she was thinking was, now that her daughter has been found, can she return to her the things left by her biological mother?
