The atmosphere at the dinner table was quite lively, with Yuanyuan and her aunt chatting and laughing throughout, and others occasionally chiming in.
Chen Shufang glanced at Su Jingjing, who was eating slowly and methodically across from her, and couldn't help but feel gratified.
The change is quite significant; she now has the air of a well-bred young lady.
"Han Ting, Jing Jing, your eldest brother and sister-in-law will be on vacation next week. If you have time, bring An An and Yuan Yuan home for a visit."
Speaking of my eldest son, it's been two months since I last saw him.
Li Hanting nodded, and Su Jingjing, not wanting her mother-in-law to feel awkward, agreed, "Mom, we'll come over then."
Chen Shufang nodded in satisfaction, "Come on, eat more."
She absolutely loved communicating with her younger daughter-in-law. Before, the two of them disliked each other, neither willing to yield to the other, and they would fight whenever they met.
After the meal, the mother and daughter, not wanting to disturb them any longer, decided to get up and leave.
Su Jingjing suddenly remembered, "Mom, wait a minute, I have something I want to give Huanhuan." After saying that, she turned and went to her room.
Li Yuehuan and her mother looked at each other in disbelief.
She doesn't seem to have much interaction with her second sister-in-law, so why would she give her something?
Su Jingjing held a gift box in her hands. When she opened it, it was a sight to behold. Inside was a beautiful cream-colored dress that perfectly complemented her skin tone.
"What do you think, Huanhuan? Your second sister-in-law thought you two were a perfect match at first sight."
The last time she saw this dress hanging in the mall, she for some reason thought of her sister-in-law, with whom she had no connection, and on a whim, she bought it.
She might also have been trying to please her sister-in-law.
Huanhuan isn't a bad person; she can't possibly remain indifferent when Huanhuan occasionally shows her kindness.
Looking at the cream-colored dress, Li Yuehuan felt delighted and couldn't help but reach out to touch it. It was cool and refreshing, and she knew it would be very comfortable to wear.
Until her mother nudged her and asked, "Do you like it?"
Li Yuehuan then came to her senses, her cheeks slightly flushed. She didn't dare to look her second sister-in-law in the eye and stubbornly said, "It's alright."
It's more than just okay.
She absolutely loved it; if she wore it to school, countless girls would envy her.
But which store did you buy this from?
Why didn't she meet him?
"Then hurry up and thank your second sister-in-law."
Chen Shufang couldn't bear to watch her daughter's reaction. The girl was so stubborn; she clearly loved it so much her eyes were practically popping out, yet she still acted all high and mighty.
"Second sister-in-law, thank you."
That thank you was sincere. Since her sister-in-law wanted to make amends, she should try to change her attitude towards her.
Su Jingjing just smiled, then closed the gift box again and handed it to her sister-in-law.
After his mother-in-law left, Li Hanting put his arm around his wife's slender waist and raised an eyebrow near her ear.
"Honey, when did you buy this dress? I didn't know about it."
“The last time I went to the city to buy things, I saw this dress hanging in the store, and it immediately reminded me of Huanhuan, so I bought it.”
Li Hanting frowned. "Did you buy yourself a couple of things?"
Actually, that dress would look really beautiful on my wife too.
Su Jingjing turned to face A Ting and said softly, "I want to wait until I lose a little more weight."
Besides, a cream-colored dress is more suitable for a girl of her sister-in-law's age.
"I feel just right now, I don't need to lose any more weight."
Only he knew how alluring his wife's milky skin was!
Su Jingjing insisted on her opinion, "No, you'll look prettier in a dress if you're thinner."
In their past lives, they were all slender and beautiful, and wearing skirts would accentuate their figures.
Helpless, Li Hanting gently pulled his wife into his arms, and the two of them nestled together quietly.
Jeep
As soon as Li Yuehuan got into the car, she couldn't wait to open the gift box and carefully touched every inch of the dress, clearly adoring it.
She wants to wear it to school right now.
"Okay, I'll watch it when I get home."
Chen Shufang shook her head and leaned over to close the lid.
Li Yuehuan didn't understand her mother's meaning, "Mom..."
He took his daughter's hand and said earnestly, "This dress isn't cheap. Your second sister-in-law was willing to buy it for you, which shows how much she cares about you."
Li Yuehuan disagreed, "Anyway, this money is going to be spent by my second brother. She's just doing him a favor."
My second sister-in-law stays at home and has no income. Where would she get the money to buy it? I know without even thinking that my second brother paid for it. I should have thanked him earlier.
Chen Shufang was really worried about her slow-witted daughter and couldn't help but poke her forehead.
"You always think so simply."
"Over the years, apart from you asking for gifts, has your second brother ever bought you anything on his own initiative?"
Not to mention his daughter, Han Ting hadn't even noticed his mother.
Han Ting wasn't the type to offer empty words of comfort, but he wasn't selfish either.
“My… second brother…”
Li Yuehuan was speechless. After thinking about it carefully, it seemed to be true.
During every important holiday, such as the Spring Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, she would shamelessly pester her second brother to bring her gifts.
If I forget to bring it up, he'll come back empty-handed, which can drive me crazy.
There's absolutely no need to worry about my older brother. Every time he buys a gift for my sister-in-law, he gets one for himself too.
Chen Shufang took this opportunity to correct her daughter's thinking, "Your second sister-in-law bought this on her own initiative. As for her work, she takes care of the children and cooks at home every day, which is quite hard. You can't think that she has no contribution and is just spending your second brother's money every day."
"Sometimes housewives are even greater."
Li Yuehuan has a very strong ability to understand. She lowered her head and apologized, "Mom, I know I was wrong. I will never say anything about my second sister-in-law again."
"By the way, Mom, you could introduce her to a job."
Job introduction?
Chen Shufang recalled some unpleasant memories.
After giving birth, Su Jingjing generously offered a job for the sake of her grandson, but the job seeker didn't want it and accused her of wanting to mistreat her, which caused quite an unpleasant situation.
"Mom, take a look."

The next day, Li Yuehuan put on a dress and went shopping with her best friend, attracting a lot of attention along the way.
"Huanhuan, I've never seen you wear this dress before. Is it new?"
A light, cheerful female voice rang out; it belonged to Qin Zhen, who was standing next to Li Yuehuan, with the taciturn Ma Lu beside her.
The Li family is extremely wealthy, so a mere dress is nothing to them. However, they are very strict and do not allow Huanhuan to be extravagant, so many people at school do not know about her family background.
“This was bought for me by my second sister-in-law.”
"Pretty, isn't it?" she said, smiling smugly with her eyes narrowed.
Finally, I can show off my second sister-in-law.
Ma Lu, who had been quiet and silent, walked over and asked, "Your second sister-in-law? Don't you dislike her?"
"No, doesn't she hate you?"
Ma Lu and Qin Zhen met Su Jingjing at the entrance of the Li family's residence, before Su Jingjing went to the family compound.
There was only one sentence at the time: "A rose stuck in cow dung."
What's most striking is Su Jingjing's weight; she weighs over 190 pounds, like a ball, which doesn't match the cold-blooded boy, Han Ting.
