Since that night, the bond between the mother and her two children has grown stronger. She thought she wouldn't be able to sleep with the two little ones anymore, but that noon, the man rushed back and told her that he had to go on a mission and that she should take good care of herself. He said he couldn't take care of the two children and would send them back to the old house.
Su Jingjing was stunned at the time. Perhaps she had been too comfortable during this period and had almost forgotten the responsibilities of a man. Going on missions was a common occurrence.
Even though she knew from the book that Li Hanting was incredibly lucky and always managed to escape danger, she still couldn't help but worry that something might happen to him. They were now one.
But in order to allow him to go on his mission with peace of mind, she didn't show any of this, and only said, "She and the children are waiting for him at home."
For the next two days, in order to avoid overthinking, Su Jingjing spent her time either working on her manuscript or spending time with her two children, keeping herself occupied to prevent her mind from becoming empty.
She had originally planned to go back to the countryside this weekend, but since her husband's return date was uncertain and she was worried about going back, she had to postpone it to next week.
That afternoon, Su Jingjing was working on her manuscript in her room. She had to pick up her two children from school at four o'clock.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
She walked over and opened the door, still puzzled.
"Mom, what brings you here?"
Standing outside the door was indeed Madam Li, dressed appropriately. Although there were no extravagant embellishments, she gave off a comfortable feeling. After all, Madam Li was a lady from a prominent family, and her temperament was innate.
Chen Shufang was carrying a bag in one hand and a handbag in the other. When she saw her daughter-in-law open the door, she looked surprised and raised an eyebrow. "What, aren't you going to invite me in?"
"Mom, come in quickly."
Su Jingjing's attitude was much warmer this time because this was her man's mother. She loved her husband so much that she didn't mind becoming his daughter if the other party didn't go too far.
The book mentions the character of Li's mother, who is always dignified and elegant in front of others, and her many embarrassing moments are all caused by the original owner of the body.
As soon as Chen Shufang entered the room, she subconsciously looked around. The living room was clean and tidy, with items arranged neatly, and it even seemed to exude a fragrance that was refreshing.
Hmm, not bad!
She deliberately came a day later this time, wanting to observe whether her younger daughter-in-law had really changed.
This girl is used to being lazy. She won't be able to pretend to be virtuous for long. She'll probably make a mess of the room again. She's here to find evidence.
But the result was unexpected. Han Ting had been away on a mission for two days, so it couldn't have been him cleaning the living room. It could only have been this girl who was cleaning.
First level passed!
This time, her son was worried and specifically asked her to come and help take care of the two children, which shows that Han Ting really cherishes Su Jingjing.
Her cold-hearted son, who had never been one to date, rarely had a girl he liked. Regardless of her character, she was willing to accept her.
However, Su Jingjing did look quite good after losing weight. Her good qualities were fully revealed. She had fair skin and a beautiful face, no wonder her youngest son was so infatuated with her.
It seems that the two of them are truly destined to be together.
Her mother-in-law's eyes fixed on her, unreadable, making Su Jingjing's heart pound with apprehension; she was unsure of the other woman's intentions. "Mom, would you like water or sugar water?"
"Plain water, please."
Chen Shufang put the bag on the table, looked around, and noticed the closed door. She asked casually, "By the way, are you and Hanting still sleeping in separate rooms?"
Su Jingjing was startled and almost fell over.
After handing the water to her mother-in-law, she suppressed her embarrassment and explained, "It's been gone for the past two days."
Having said that, Chen Shufang understood. She took a sip of water and thought to herself that it was not bad. Given her youngest son's personality, it was impossible for him to still be willing to sleep in a separate room.
Su Jingjing noticed that her mother-in-law's visit was not malicious, so she went straight to the point: "Mom, did you come here today for something?"
Did you come here specifically to see the two children?
But An'an and Yuanyuan haven't finished school yet, and we can't see them anywhere.
Chen Shufang didn't hide anything, "I'll stay here tonight, and then I'll go with you to pick up An'an and Yuanyuan."
"Oh, right, I also bought some groceries. The four of us will eat them tonight."
Staying here?
Is that what she meant?
Su Jingjing asked uncertainly, "Mom, you just said you'd stay here for the night?"
"Hmm." Chen Shufang took another sip of water. "Han Ting called the old house before he went on his mission and asked me to come over and help you take care of the child."
Su Jingjing felt a sweet warmth in her heart. It turned out to be A-Ting. He knew she would worry and overthink. He knew everything and specially asked his mother to come and comfort her.
Ah Ting, I miss you so much.
"Don't worry, this kid has been in the military since he was a child, learning to fight alongside his father. The old man said he was born to be a soldier, and only in this field can he realize his greater value."
Although her youngest son didn't say it explicitly, how could she not know what he was thinking, given their more than twenty years of mother-son relationship?
Sigh, everyone envies the Li family's current wealth and status, but they don't know that it was all earned with their lives. That's why she cherishes every day and every second she spends with her family.
The most important thing is that my two sons can marry the girls they love and live happily ever after.
Even if Qianqian has no children, as long as she and Hanchen remain as loving as ever, she, as the mother-in-law, will accept it.
Chen Shufang had never mentioned these painful experiences to anyone, but for some reason, she wanted to talk to her youngest daughter-in-law about them today.
"Don't be fooled by all the honors your dad has now. He worked incredibly hard when he was young, and I was always worried about him. Now that he's retired, I can finally relax."
"But Han Ting has embarked on this path again. As his mother, I have been worried and afraid. But I have gradually relaxed. We take good care of our family and that is their strongest support."
"Jingjing, what do you think?"
Su Jingjing was deeply moved by her mother-in-law's heartfelt words; her mother-in-law was truly great.
This was the first time she had genuinely smiled at her mother-in-law.
"Mom, I understand what you mean."
This child is quite perceptive. Chen Shufang has a feeling that their relationship might be as close as that of a mother and daughter in the future.
"It's getting late, let's get ready and go pick up An'an and Yuanyuan."
"good."
Su Jingjing sensed her mother-in-law's good intentions; she wanted to befriend her.
One was doing it for her son, and the other for her husband; the two gradually thawed the ice between them.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to the kindergarten together. The journey wasn't awkward; they chatted every now and then and soon arrived at the kindergarten gate.
A few minutes later, the bell rang in the schoolyard, and a group of children rushed out, scrambling to get ahead of each other.
Su Jingjing knew that An'an would usually come out later to avoid crowding Yuanyuan, based on her experience from picking up and dropping off her children several times, so she didn't rush to move to the front of the line.
The mother-in-law was clearly aware of this as well, and stood calmly to the side, but she still couldn't help but look inside, trying to find her beloved grandson.
