Yan Ling got up and walked towards the kitchen. "You guys talk, I'll go check on the kitchen."
After her mother-in-law went inside, Dong Qin asked in confusion, "Little sister, what's wrong with Mom?"
This was the first time she had ever seen her mother-in-law so dejected.
"It's nothing," Su Jingjing changed the subject. "Sister-in-law, did you call me just now because you needed something?"
Dong Qin stopped worrying about it, saying, "There's a part of the design I don't quite understand."
Su Jingjing went inside with her to study it together.
In the evening, Su Xiang took off his coat, put on his reading glasses, and read the newspaper.
Suddenly I noticed that something was wrong with my wife.
Yesterday, when he was reading the newspaper with the light on, his wife said he was wasting electricity.
"Old woman, are you spacing out?"
Yan Ling snapped out of her daze, glared at him, and threw back the covers to lie down on the bed.
"I always watch it at night, which uses up a lot of electricity."
Su Xiang put down the newspaper and took off his glasses. "I've just been busy during the day."
He turned off the light and looked at Yan Ling by the moonlight outside.
"You're acting strange tonight?"
"Is it because you're nervous about meeting your in-laws tomorrow?"
Yan Ling scoffed, "How could that be?"
"I'm wondering if it's really a good idea for my daughter to marry Han Ting?"
Su Xiang was taken aback and subconsciously touched her forehead.
"You don't have a fever."
"Why are you talking nonsense?"
Yan Ling removed his hand, saying, "I'm fine."
She slowly began to tell him about her son-in-law's injury.
"Sigh, everyone says that being a military family member is not easy, and it seems that this is true."
Su Xiang finally spoke after a long pause, "This is the path she chose, and we have to keep going no matter what."
"If my son-in-law gets promoted, he might not have to go on missions anymore,"
That was the only way he could console himself.
"Go to sleep, you have to meet your in-laws tomorrow."
Su Xiang lay down and said, "By the way, remember to control your temper tomorrow. You can't embarrass your in-laws again."
Yan Ling pouted, "For my daughter's sake, I'll definitely speak nicely."
After he finished speaking, the room gradually quieted down.
The next day, Yan Ling got up early to dress up. Although she was old, she still had to be clean and tidy so as not to be outdone by her mother-in-law.
"Mom, so you were here."
Su Jingjing saw her mother combing her hair and walked in.
Yan Ling brushed a stray hair behind her ear. "Daughter, is Mommy's hair messy?"
Su Jingjing read it carefully and remarked, "It's very energetic."
"That's good." Yan Ling smiled and then straightened her collar.
"Mom can't let you lose face."
Su Jingjing smiled helplessly and said, "We're going to eat, not to have a beauty contest, so how could we lose face?"
Yan Ling stopped what she was doing, glanced at her daughter, and said, "Have you forgotten how your mother fought with your mother-in-law before?"
“She always loses to me, she’s probably unhappy about it.”
Su Jingjing touched the tip of her nose; she really had no recollection of the two of them fighting.
"Let's go, don't waste any more time."
Yan Ling was the first to walk out.
The meeting place was set at the old house.
Li Hanting and Liu Yang each drove a car.
The Li family was busy early in the morning.
Li Yuan walked in, looked around, and asked in a deep voice, "Where's Huanhuan?"
Chen Shufang slapped her thigh. "Aunt Xu, go check if Huanhuan is awake yet?"
"Never mind, I'll go."
This girl has only been diligent for two days, and she's already showing her true colors.
Chen Shufang arrived at the door and knocked gently, but there was no response from inside, so she pushed the door open and went in.
"Huanhuan, Mom is coming in."
A large lump appeared on the bed, completely covered by the blanket.
Chen Shufang first opened the curtains, and the sun shone in. Then she went to the bedside and pulled down her blanket.
Li Yuehuan flinched, opening her blurry eyes. "Mom, is something wrong?"
What do you think?
Chen Shufang couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Your second sister-in-law's family is coming over today, and you're still lying in bed. An'an and Yuanyuan will laugh at you later."
Li Yuehuan yawned, feeling a little more awake.
“It’s not the first time An’an and Yuan Yuan have seen me stay in bed late, it’s nothing.”
Chen Shufang was exasperated. "Your dad is downstairs. If you don't get up, he'll come up and wake you himself."
"Is my dad home?"
Li Yuehuan was surprised, and the next second she quickly slipped off the bed.
While washing up, she peeked in and asked, "Mom, didn't you say yesterday that Dad had special training this morning?"
Chen Shufang chuckled, "No matter how busy I am, nothing is more important than meeting my in-laws."
"Hurry up and brush your teeth, I'm going downstairs now."
Li Yuehuan quickly spat out a mouthful of foam, "Mom, please put in a good word for me with Dad."
Chen Shufang ignored him and walked straight out.
Oh no!
Li Yuan changed his clothes and sat on the sofa drinking tea. "Hasn't the girl gotten up yet?"
"As soon as they hear you're home, they jump up and down with excitement."
Chen Shufang sat down next to him and took the teacup he offered.
Li Yuan snorted coldly, "I wonder who you inherited your habit of sleeping in late from."
Chen Shufang took only a sip, then slammed the teacup down. "What do you mean by that?"
Her temper flared up instantly. "All the good qualities are inherited from your Li family, and all the bad qualities are inherited from me, is that it?"
Li Yuan coughed lightly, "I didn't mean that." He then secretly reached for her hand, but she slapped it away.
"Mom and Dad, what are you doing?"
As soon as Li Yuehuan came downstairs, she saw the two of them looking awkward.
He plopped down, picked up a piece of apple, and started taking a bite.
Suddenly, an unfriendly gaze fell upon me. "Dad, is there something on my face?"
"From now on, you can't sleep in late, or I'll cut off your allowance."
It's all because of this girl that his wife is upset with him.
"Huanhuan has just started her winter vacation, so it's no big deal for her to sleep in one more day."
Chen Shufang rolled her eyes at Li Yuan.
He just couldn't stand the sight of that mother and daughter.
Li Yuehuan paused, feeling like she was being used as a punching bag.
When her father scolds her, her mother will never contradict him.
Li Yuan shut his mouth. It's true what they say: it's better to offend a petty person than a woman.
Xu Ma ran in excitedly, "Jingjing and the others are here!"
"Are the in-laws here too?"
Chen Shufang asked impatiently.
Aunt Xu smiled and said, "They're here, they're all outside."
"Grandpa and Grandma..."
The next second, I heard Yuanyuan's voice.
Standing in the courtyard, Yan Ling couldn't help but boast that although it wasn't her first time visiting the Li family, she was always amazed every time she came.
The house is a detached building with a clean and beautiful yard, and flowers are planted in the corner, unlike their rural home, which only smells of chicken manure.
Dong Qin and Su Dashan had only one thought in their minds: their younger sister's in-laws were incredibly wealthy.
Such a nice house is something they could only dream of but could never reach.
Su Xiang remained relatively calm. In his eyes, if his in-laws treated his daughter badly, all the money in the world was meaningless.
"Mom and Dad, let's go inside."
Li Hanting parked the car and walked over to take Jingjing's hand.
"Okay, okay."
Yan Ling was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what was happening.
