Huang Qiurong rarely spoke up, but said, "Is that so? I don't think so. Commander Li is a good man, and we should cherish him."
Su Jingjing nodded. "Sister-in-law, I understand what you mean."
She would never give up such an excellent man; she just can't accept it right now, perhaps it's a lingering effect of being with a scumbag.
Dinner was still plentiful tonight, with fish and meat. The meat was bought this morning, and the fish was bought by the man in the afternoon.
Since the fish was fresh, Su Jingjing used it all to make soup, which tasted delicious.
"Yuanyuan, this is the fish Dad bought. Try this soup and see if it's good."
Su Jingjing served each of the two children a bowl, and An'an awkwardly accepted it. As for Li Hanting, she had already ignored him.
"Mmm, it's delicious. Mom, you should have some too."
"Sigh." The mother and daughter were deeply affectionate, as if no one else was around.
Looking at his empty bowl and then at his daughter's bowl full of fish soup, Li Hanting couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Her two children held a special place in her heart, while she herself probably didn't even make the cut.
After Su Jingjing had finished cuddling with her daughter, she realized that the man hadn't touched his chopsticks yet.
Suddenly feeling a little guilty, she took the man's bowl and said lightly, "I'll serve you a bowl of fish soup too, it's especially delicious."
Here's what happened: she casually mentioned wanting to eat fish that afternoon, and the man got it for her. She was really touched at that moment.
Li Hanting's emotions come and go quickly; as long as his wife pays attention to him, he can be happy for half a day.
Looking into his wife's bright eyes, he sincerely praised, "Mmm, it tastes good."
The night was beautiful, and the family of four enjoying themselves together was a lovely sight.
*
The next day, those who were supposed to go to school went to school, and those who were supposed to train went to training, leaving Su Jingjing as the only person at home with nothing to do.
After breakfast, she focused on translating the manuscript, which was her bread and butter, so she had to translate it with all her might.
Although the man gave her a large sum of money, she had no intention of using it. Every time she saw the money, she felt dizzy and dared not take it out easily.
Just then, there was a loud knocking on the door, as if the visitor had ill intentions.
Su Jingjing asked warily from behind the door, "Excuse me, who are you...?"
The woman's loud voice rang out instantly, "Jingjing, it's my mother, open the door for her."
The original owner's mother?
Su Jingjing was astonished. Why had she come looking for her?
She should be more discreet later. Mother and daughter spend so much time together, it's inevitable that someone will notice something amiss.
However, when she opened the door, the other person came in carrying two large bags of things. He was a bit thin, but he was quite strong, and he was muttering to himself.
Su Jingjing remained silent. The other person had their back to her, so she couldn't see their face clearly, nor did she know if they looked like the original owner of the body.
Suddenly, the other person turned around and exclaimed in surprise, hugging her affectionately and coaxing her, "Ah, my good daughter, you've lost so much weight, haven't you been eating enough?"
As she spoke, she searched everywhere for Li Hanting, as if she wanted to tear him to pieces.
"What about your son-in-law? How is he taking care of you? Does he mistreat you, or is it his mother?"
The original owner's mother launched a scathing attack, leaving Su Jingjing no chance to get a word in edgewise.
I've finally realized how formidable she is; no wonder my mother-in-law is afraid of her.
However, the original owner's mother truly loved her. How heartbroken she would be if she knew that her daughter was gone.
In her past life, she was an orphan who had never experienced maternal love. At this moment, she was embraced by the original owner's mother, and she was shocked, as if this was her own mother.
Yan Ling touched her daughter's face tenderly. "Jing, why aren't you saying anything? Did someone bully you? Mom will go and settle the score with them."
He then went to the kitchen to get a cleaver.
Su Jingjing's eyes widened, and she hurriedly stopped him, calling out "Mom" in her haste.
She thought she wouldn't be able to pronounce it, but it actually came out quite smoothly.
"Mom, don't rush, please sit down, I'll get you a glass of water."
While pouring water, Su Jingjing comforted me, saying, "No one is bullying me."
Yan Ling finished a glass of water in one go, put down the glass, wiped away the water stains, and did it all in one smooth motion.
"Then how come you've lost so much weight? Your mother worked so hard to raise you. It's not healthy for a woman to be too thin."
Su Jingjing took her mother's hand. No matter how uncouth her mother was, she was always thinking of her best interests.
"Mom, I feel too fat, and it's inconvenient for me to do anything, so I've decided to lose weight."
Actually, the two look quite alike. The original owner's mother was old and had worked too hard, so her face was covered with wrinkles, but you could still vaguely tell that she used to be a beauty. The original owner's fair skin was inherited from her mother.
"What are you required to do in the family compound? Did your son-in-law ask you to do it?"
Yan Ling's mind was only focused on her daughter's suffering.
No mother in the world wants her daughter to have to work hard after marrying into her husband's family.
Su Jingjing was both amused and exasperated. "Mom, no one forced me. It's my own choice. I like Li Hanting, so I want to change his opinion of me."
Li Hanting, I'm sorry, I'll just have to use you for a little while.
She tried to reveal her true feelings to see how her mother would react.
"During this time, I not only lost weight, but I also learned to cook..."
Before he could finish speaking, his mother interrupted him, "What? You cooked?"
"Did you burn your hand?"
My daughter is clumsy and inept; she's no match for the kitchen.
Yan Ling had no suspicions at all, because she knew how much her daughter loved her son-in-law and would do anything for him.
"Mom, I'm fine. I didn't expect I had a talent for cooking. It tastes pretty good. Stay home for lunch later, and I'll show you my skills."
"Okay, Mom will definitely eat all the food made by my good daughter."
Yan Ling didn't take it to heart, thinking her daughter was just joking. Her daughter had been pampered since childhood and was never allowed to do any rough work.
How could it possibly taste delicious in such a short time?
"Oh, right, my dear daughter, Mom brought you sweet potatoes, corn, and peanuts, all of which are your favorites."
As he spoke, he went to untie the bag.
Su Jingjing's eyes remained fixed on her mother. She truly envied the original owner of this body for such profound maternal love.
However, her tastes are quite similar to the original owner's; she also likes to eat things like corn.
"Thank you, Mom." Moved, she stepped forward and hugged her mother's thin body.
"This child, why are you being so polite with your mother?" Yan Ling felt that her daughter was acting a bit strange this time, becoming much more sentimental, but she liked it.
Although Jingjing and her daughter were close before, there was always a distance between them. Now, the mother and daughter have no barriers between them at all.
“Even though you’re married, you still have a share in the family. It’s only right that you take these things. Your father asked me to bring them over.”
Her son had originally brought it over, but she thought she hadn't seen her daughter in a long time, so she took the initiative to bring the things over herself. Anyway, they weren't heavy, and she would slip her daughter some money when she left.
This girl is used to spending money lavishly, so she probably doesn't have much money left. Recently, her family has been selling corn and sweet potatoes, and they've made a little money.
They can endure a hard life, but the girl cannot.
