Seeing her son-in-law busy in the kitchen, Yan Ling deliberately went in to chat with him.
"Han Ting, although our family is not wealthy, Jingjing has been pampered since she was a child, so she is inevitably spoiled. I hope you can understand."
Li Hanting paused in washing the dishes, turned his head to look at his mother-in-law, and chuckled, "Mom, Jingjing is doing well now. Just say what you want to say, I'm listening."
The son-in-law's tone was not as cold as usual, and Yan Ling sensed that something was going on between the two, so she laughed even more heartily.
"Then Mom also spoke frankly, saying that it's not good for the couple to always sleep in separate rooms, as it affects their relationship. Jingjing is a bit shy and is embarrassed to ask you to come back."
Yan Ling left some things unsaid, letting her son-in-law understand on his own.
Does his wife really want him to go back to his room to sleep?
Li Hanting's lips curled slightly. With his mother-in-law in front of him, he didn't dare to be too blatant. He suppressed his joy and coughed lightly, saying, "Mom, is this Jingjing's idea?"
Surprisingly, his young wife misses him quite a bit.
Seeing that things were looking promising, Yan Ling immediately betrayed her daughter, saying, "Of course, this child is shy, so you should take the initiative."
As Su Jingjing ate an apple in the living room, she felt a chill, as if someone was plotting against her behind her back.
"Mom, thank you for reminding me. I know what to do now."
Li Hanting suddenly felt a sense of anticipation for tonight.
With one worry resolved, Yan Ling felt relieved and immediately wanted to go back home, as there was still the busy farming season.
"Mom, stay home for one night and come home tomorrow."
Things happened so suddenly that Su Jingjing was reluctant to let her mother go home.
Li Hanting also tried his best to persuade her to stay, "Yes, Mom, you can stay home and keep Jingjing company. I'll arrange a car to take you back tomorrow morning."
Yan Ling patted her daughter's little hand and smiled at her son-in-law, "No, we're busy with farm work right now, I just took some time to come over."
I originally planned to deliver the things and then immediately take a car back, but I couldn't resist my daughter's enthusiasm, so I've stayed until now.
Seeing the family of four living happily together made her happier than if she had eaten honey.
She affectionately touched her daughter's forehead, full of love, and said, "I'll come over with your dad another time when we have time. Don't complain that your mom is a nuisance then."
"I won't."
Having finally experienced maternal love, Su Jingjing was extremely reluctant to part with her mother.
Since his mother-in-law had made up her mind, Li Hanting didn't try to persuade her anymore. "Mom, I'll arrange a car to take you home later."
The journey was tiring, and the round trip was quite long.
Yan Ling didn't want her son-in-law to use his power, so she quickly waved her hand and refused, "No need, just take me to the station, it's more convenient for me to take the train back."
Since her mother was going back so soon, Su Jingjing wished she could pack up all the good things in the house for her to take back with her. Luckily, there were still some snacks and fruits at home.
Yan Ling was both amused and exasperated. She grabbed her daughter's hand and said, "Jingjing, leave these for An'an and Yuanyuan. There are no other children in the family, so there's no one to eat them if we take them back."
How could no one eat it? Mother, that's clearly an excuse.
"Mom, isn't my sister-in-law pregnant? She'll inevitably get hungry. Could you share some with her? Also, some red dates, which can help replenish her blood and energy."
Around this time, it seemed that my sister-in-law was pregnant, but she was not getting enough nutrition. As a result, the baby suffered a lot during childbirth and was born thin and weak, and often got sick.
Speaking of this, Su Jingjing admitted that her mother truly loved her, but she was somewhat harsh on her sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law not only had to manage the household chores, but even when she was pregnant, she had to work in the fields every day and cook when she got home. She was busy all day long, which led to her premature birth.
Perhaps the two of them just weren't meant to be. It's said that the sister-in-law wasn't the ideal daughter-in-law in her mother's eyes; it was the brother who fell in love with her and insisted on marrying her.
It seems that the sister-in-law also harbors a lot of resentment towards the original owner. The main reason is that the original owner doesn't treat the other party as a sister-in-law at all. Moreover, she is always trying to get free meals from others, so no one likes her. Only her mother treats her like a precious gem.
When talking about her daughter-in-law, Yan Ling became irritable and kept nagging, "It's just a pregnancy, not some precious thing, there's no need to eat good food."
"I'll just take some back for your dad to eat."
He then put the rest back into his daughter's hands.
Why should women make things difficult for each other? Now that she's in the place of the original owner, she can't allow tragedy to happen, and she also wants to maintain a good relationship with her only sister-in-law.
Su Jingjing pulled her mother's hand and sat down, saying earnestly, "Mom, I think we should treat my sister-in-law better from now on."
"What?"
Yan Ling's expression immediately changed, and she looked resistant. "No, why should we be nice to her? She's the one who stole your brother's heart."
She had a son and a daughter. Jingjing was well-behaved and cute from a young age, and Dashan was obedient and sensible. The only thing he did against her was insist on marrying Dong Qin. After marriage, he always protected Dong Qin. No wonder she liked him.
This daughter-in-law not only comes from a poor family, but also has a bunch of brothers and sisters. Won't she exhaust her son to death?
The marriage she had arranged for her son, with a wealthy family and an only child, would have ensured that her son wouldn't have a hard life and might even have helped Jingjing. But all of that fell through because of Dong Qin's appearance.
Since you've married into the Su family, you have to obediently accept it.
Seeing that her mother was unmoved by reason, Su Jingjing changed her approach, hugging her mother's hand and shaking it affectionately, "Mom, your daughter is married now. Think about it, if the Li family treats me badly, how would you feel?"
Yan Ling's fiery temper flared up instantly. She snorted coldly at the door, "If the Li family dares to treat you badly, Mom will definitely grab a kitchen knife and storm into the Li family to demand an explanation from that old woman."
Yan Ling was completely unaware that she had fallen into her daughter's trap, and was still indignantly nagging, "No one can make you do chores, my little darling, you're not going to marry into this family to do chores."
Having achieved her goal, Su Jingjing was moved, but she tried hard to suppress the smile on her lips and sighed, "My sister-in-law is someone else's darling. Now that she's married into our family, shouldn't we treat her a little better?"
"you…"
Yan Ling was stunned, and only then did she realize that she had been tricked by her daughter.
Pointing at her forehead with exasperation, he said, "You little devil, you've got a whole repertoire of words, you even fooled your own mother."
The next second, a look of doubt crossed his face. "But haven't you always disliked her?"
Su Jingjing rubbed her forehead, recalling the original owner's great achievements. The original owner had been jealous of Dong Qin receiving all of her brother's love and had targeted her in everything, which was truly insensible.
Now that things have come to this, Su Jingjing had no choice but to make up an excuse, otherwise everyone would be suspicious of her change.
"Mom, I had a nightmare. I dreamt that because of my willfulness, our family ended up not doing well, and my sister-in-law's baby was born weak. I was terrified when I woke up."
"I couldn't eat or drink for days. It felt so real, and that's when I finally decided to make a change."
