"I didn't really put in any effort. I just tried this stewed food before and thought it was delicious, so I thought of sending some to you, Auntie."
Lin Huiru said embarrassedly that she was spending a lot of money. The braised food cost 1.6 yuan per catty, and she bought five catties, which cost eight yuan. She spent almost all the money she had saved.
If she didn't want to please Song Meijuan, she wouldn't have spent so much money. Lin Huiru had thought about buying other gifts, but if she calculated carefully, the prices would be even higher.
She didn't have that much money at all, so she thought about buying some food. This also showed that she was always thinking about Song Meijuan.
"You are such a thoughtful kid."
Although Song Meijuan said this, her attitude towards Lin Huiru was not very enthusiastic.
But that's just her personality. She prefers quietness and is not that enthusiastic towards her own children.
Lin Huiru couldn't help but curse a few words in her heart. This Song Meijuan was really hard to please. She came to the Wen family's old house many times, but Song Meijuan's attitude towards her was always lukewarm.
After sitting for a while, Mu Wanwan left early on the grounds that she had other things to do.
As soon as she left, Wen Xin could no longer sit still and ran to sit next to Song Meijuan.
"Mom, please open it and see what gift Mu Wanwan gave you?"
Song Meijuan felt helpless about her daughter's temper, but she still opened the box that Mu Wanwan gave her. When she saw the green cheongsam inside, she was stunned.
When she took it out and looked at it again, she found that the size of this cheongsam was suitable for her. The style was different from those sold in department stores. This one was more slim-fitting, the shape was much better, the material felt very comfortable, and the color suited her very well.
The more Song Meijuan looked at it, the more she liked it. She simply went inside to change. When she came out wearing it, Wen Xin and Lin Huiru were both amazed.
The blue color makes Song Meijuan's skin look whiter. The style of the cheongsam fits Song Meijuan's figure very well. Every part of her is just right. She has a kind of classical beauty. Now she looks more like someone who walked out of the Republic of China. Her charm is still there.
There is no woman who is not beautiful, and Song Meijuan has always paid attention to her image. There was a sincere smile on her face.
If Mu Wanwan hadn't observed carefully, she wouldn't have known her size. Judging from the craftsmanship of the cheongsam, it was probably made by a famous master, and it must not be cheap to make one.
Mr. Wen is right, Mu Wanwan is indeed a good child.
No matter how much Wen Xin hated Mu Wanwan, she had to admit that the cheongsam she gave to her mother was really beautiful. Seeing it made her feel eager, and she wanted to ask Mu Wanwan where it was made. Their school would have an event on National Day next month, and she also wanted to make a beautiful cheongsam for herself.
But if she really had to ask Mu Wanwan, she would definitely not go. In her opinion, this behavior would be like being inferior to Mu Wanwan.
Lin Huiru did not ignore the love in Song Meijuan's eyes, and her hands on her legs clenched unconsciously.
Mu Wanwan is really willing to spend money to please Song Meijuan. If she continues like this, Song Meijuan might become more and more fond of Mu Wanwan.
Originally, Old Master Wen was already very supportive of Mu Wanwan. With the addition of Song Meijuan, even if Wen Lin didn't like Mu Wanwan, Mu Wanwan's position in the Wen family would become more stable.
No, she had to find a way to get Mu Wanwan and Wen Lin to divorce as soon as possible. If she delayed any further, she was afraid that she would really have no chance. She couldn't wait any longer.
A calculation flashed through Lin Huiru's eyes, and she lowered her head and fell into deep thought...

Next, Mu Wanwan was busy for a few more days. Every day she was either preparing braised food or going to the hospital to visit Grandpa Wen.
That evening, she had just returned from the hospital and was about to go to the bathroom to take a shower and go to bed when she suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.
Mu Wanwan was a little confused. Who could it be so late?
When she opened the door, she saw a young man in military uniform and a military vehicle parked behind.
Before Mu Wanwan could ask, the person at the door spoke.
"Sister-in-law, you are my sister-in-law, right? Hello, sister-in-law, my name is Wang Dazhu, and I am a soldier under Captain Wen. This time, Captain Wen was injured while performing a mission, so we sent him back to recuperate."
Wen Lin was injured?
Mu Wanwan frowned and asked, "Is he seriously injured? Otherwise, we should send him to the hospital. It will be safer to go to the hospital."
"Sister-in-law, don't worry. The commander's injury is not serious. The wound has been sutured. It was the commander himself who asked to go home to recuperate. We dare not disobey him."
Wang Dazhu scratched his head, then helped another soldier in the car to help Wen Lin get out of the car.
Seeing this, Mu Wanwan quickly made way.
Wen Lin was helped into the bedroom. His face was pale, and there were bandages around his waist and thighs. It looked like he was injured in more than one place.
The two soldiers carefully placed him on the bed and prepared to leave.
Mu Wanwan saw that it was getting dark outside, and they looked dusty and probably very tired, so she stopped the two of them and planned to let them eat something before leaving.
She also had to cook for Wen Lin anyway, which meant she had to do more work.
She has a great affection for the soldiers who defend their country. If it weren't for these soldiers taking on the heavy responsibility for them, there would be no peaceful and happy life now.
Even if she wanted to divorce Wen Lin and thought he was a bastard, that was in terms of feelings. In the army, Wen Lin had always been an excellent soldier.
It is only right for her to take extra care of someone like this who was injured while performing a mission.
After Mu Wanwan persuaded them to stay, Wang Dazhu and the other person did not leave immediately and went to Wen Lin's bedroom again.
Wang Dazhu couldn't help but look at Wen Lin with envy and said, "Captain, your sister-in-law is so beautiful! Can you tell us how you got such a beautiful wife?
No wonder you didn’t even look at all the girls in the art troupe in the army who liked you, and you got married all of a sudden. It turns out you have too high standards and don’t like them!”
Wen Lin glanced at Wang Dazhu, as if he thought he talked too much.
But what Wang Dazhu said was right, Mu Wanwan was indeed very beautiful, there was no doubt about that.
After a while, Wen Lin's stomach started growling when he smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.
He has had no appetite since he was injured and has not had a proper meal for several years.
Mu Wanwan made noodles. After all, noodles are quick to make. She had just made chicken soup for Grandpa Wen at noon today, and there was some left, which was perfect for making noodle soup.
Simple noodles, served with shredded pork and some vegetables, three fried eggs and fried peanuts, look very nice when served in a bowl.
