After listening to Zhang Cuihua's words, she leaned against Liu Yansong's chest and looked at the elderly couple with a face full of shame.
"Mom and Dad, I'm sorry, I might have to disappoint you. I can cook, but right now, I can't stand the smell of the kitchen. If I were in your shoes, I'd probably just ruin everything..."
"But don't worry, Mom and Dad. Once I give birth to the baby, I'll be able to cook in the kitchen. I'll do my best to ease your burden then."
Lu Rou said nice things, but she knew she would never do it. However, she had another idea to implement, so she had to pretend to comply first.
Sure enough, after hearing what she said, the old couple, especially Zhang Cuihua, immediately looked much better, and they started calling her their "darling" again and again.
Seeing that the elderly couple seemed to be in good spirits, Lu Rou seized the opportunity and directly expressed her own ideas.
“Father and Mother, I can help with some chores at home, but Brother Song definitely wouldn’t want to see you two working hard outside while he enjoys himself at home, right, Brother Song?”
Liu Yansong couldn't understand what Lu Rou was trying to do, and his impatience was already written all over his face, but he still nodded at her prompting.
Having understood Lu Rou's implication, the elderly couple exchanged a glance, not particularly willing, so they remained silent for a moment.
Lu Rou wasn't in a hurry and continued to look at them with a smile.
"Mom, look, it won't be long before you have a grandson. Don't you want to help me take care of your eldest grandson?"
Besides, you and Dad have worked hard for most of your lives. Why don't you take a break for a while and let Brother Song do the work for you?
If you really can't adapt and want to go back to work, then we'll try to find Song-gege another job, okay?
Seeing that Zhang Cuihua's expression did not soften, he pulled her aside and whispered something to her. Soon after, Zhang Cuihua walked towards Liu Dafu with a conflicted expression.
Liu Dafu looked puzzled, but after she leaned over and whispered in his ear for a while, he frowned and finally nodded slightly, indicating that she agreed.
Zhang Cuihua hesitated for a long time, and all three people's eyes fell on her. After a long, long time, she finally nodded hesitantly.
"Sigh, you all agree, how can I disagree? But let's wait a few more days, until I finish my shift this month and get paid, then I'll look for a new job."
Seeing that Zhang Cuihua had agreed, Lu Rou smiled and raised an eyebrow at Liu Yansong.
Liu Yansong understood at this moment. He was really excited to suddenly have a job again, after all, he could get a salary again.
"Mother! I knew you were still good to me. Don't worry, I will never let you down. I will definitely be filial to you and Father in the future. Then you can just wait to enjoy your blessings."
Zhang Cuihua's smile wasn't particularly attractive, but at least there was a hint of a smile on her face.
Actually, she wasn't very willing to give up her job. The change in identity from a rural woman to a city worker brought her a great sense of pride and confidence.
But now, she has to hand over this confidence to someone else; it will no longer be hers.
As she pondered, her eyes, which were usually so shrewd and calculating, suddenly filled with sorrow.
But in front of everyone, she couldn't cry, so she could only blink frequently to keep the tears from falling.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, she turned around, left the house, and went to work.
