Over the years, Liu Yun had long been able to discern whether the people around her were human or ghosts. Since getting married, she rarely returned to her parents' home unless it was an important holiday or her parents' birthday.
And one very strange thing is that her parents never allowed her to talk about how well she was doing at her parents' home.
Perhaps it's because her older and younger sisters, who were loved by their parents since childhood, successfully avoided Wang Weihua and married the people they wanted, but were ultimately unhappy.
Over time, when she went back to her parents' home, she was no longer willing to share anything proactively. Whatever they asked, she would just pick out the answers they might want to hear and give them perfunctory replies.
But it was different at Tian Haiying's house. She could say whatever she wanted to eat, drink, or say without any reservations.
For example, right now she's being coquettish, a skill that her husband, Wang Weihua, taught her after she married him.
"Mother is the most soft-hearted. If you want something, or if you did something that upset her, just hug her arm and act cute. She'll be smiling in no time!"
At that time, Liu Yun was still very skeptical, because when she was a child, if she upset her mother, she would probably be beaten or subjected to cold violence for ten days or half a month.
However, Wang Weihua was genuinely good to her, so she was willing to trust her husband. Therefore, after accidentally upsetting Tian Haiying once, she actually tried it out.
As a result, it became unstoppable, because it worked every time.
Seeing her like this, her sister-in-law Tian Xiuxiu, who had just entered the house, also started to follow suit. Her family was from the same village as Tian Haiying, so she was naturally even more adept at it.
Sure enough, this trick worked again at this moment. Tian Haiying smiled, pinched her cheek, and let her go.
"Second brother's wife, you must remember what you said to me today: you absolutely must not sneak into the mountains to look for food, understand?!"
Liu Yun immediately stopped and nodded with a serious expression:
"Don't worry, Mom, I promise I won't do it secretly, or you can break my legs!"
Tian Haiying feigned anger, then glared at her with a smile:
"Relax? I think it's more like a headache. None of you are easy to deal with. You even broke your leg? Do you mean I have to serve you for the rest of my life? I'm not doing that. It's too much of a loss!"
Tian Xiuxiu and Qin Fang, who were listening to the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, exchanged a glance, both of them beaming with uncontrollable smiles.
During this time, Liu Yun winked at the two of them, signaling them to speak up and save her, but before they could say anything, Tian Haiying caught them red-handed.
"What are you doing, making those winks and glares? You think I don't know what you're thinking? Humph! What a joke, I was a girl once too, wasn't I?"
"Alright, alright, hurry up and pick them up. Once we're done, I'll roast some chestnuts for you, the kind with sugar!"
"Wow~ Mom, you are truly the best mother-in-law in the world!"
"That's right. All the girls in my family are so envious of me for marrying into such a good family. They want me to introduce them to someone too. But where am I supposed to find someone?"
"That's right, a good mother-in-law like ours is one in a million!"
Everyone likes to be praised, and Tian Haiying felt very happy to be praised, but she refused to smile too obviously.
"Alright, alright, you guys stop joking around and hurry up and pick them up!"
"Alright, alright, Mom, I'm sorry, let's not talk about it anymore."
"Hahahaha..."
While they were laughing and chatting, Zhu Qinghao and Si Tian were hearing a chorus of "wows."
The two walked for about ten minutes and then saw another chestnut grove, which was not particularly large, with only about ten trees.
The forest wasn't large, but every single tree was huge, and they were laden with chestnuts.
