"Dad, the restaurant is under management. We can just promote a store manager." Li Mingqing thought it was no big deal.
Old man Li said straightly, "Ming Qing, I'm worried."
Old Lady Li echoed, "The hotel really needs people. We can't stay in the capital for long."
"Dad, Mom, and Second Brother are here, nothing will happen."
"I'm even more worried about your second brother, that fool. Don't look at my age, but my brain is more flexible than your second brother's." Old Lady Li teased.
Li Mingqing smiled and said, "Not really. Second brother's small business is booming, so he has something in his belly."
"Anyway, I'm worried."
Old Man Li: "We'll just stay for a few days and then go back with your brother and sister-in-law."
"I'm happy when you talk about your elder brother and sister-in-law. I was worried that they would quarrel with the new daughter-in-law. With Xiangdong here, there should be no problem." She said with a smile.
Sun Jiaxue: "Mom, maybe the new daughter-in-law is worried too."
Xiaohong shouted, "Let's eat!"
"Serve the food right away."
Looking at the overflowing meal, Old Man Li asked, "When will Niuniu come back?"
"She's busy preparing materials at school and will be back tomorrow."
"Alas, it's really not easy for a little girl to make her way out there alone. Poor granddaughter." Old Mrs. Li looked distressed.
——
Early the next morning.
Zhang Lihua came to Li Mingqing's house alone.
"Sister-in-law, did you come here by yourself?"
"I'm so angry that I came to talk to my mother." She walked into the house angrily.
Sun Jiaxue was surprised but didn't show it on her face: "Sister-in-law, let's have breakfast together."
"What's the point of having breakfast? I'm so angry."
Old Lady Li looked at her sitting on the sofa and said, "You wretch, why are you here so early in the morning when you're not at your son's house?"
"Mom, what do you think about me dividing the family?"
"You better shut up. Xiangdong is in the capital, and you're in your hometown. We're farther apart than we are apart. We only see each other a few times a year. What happened?"
Zhang Lihua took a deep breath and said, "Oh my! I was so kind as to help clean up the house, but they didn't even appreciate it. They're really asking for trouble."
"Xiangdong and his wife are worried about you."
"Feeling sorry for nothing. Mingqing, you're being caring towards your parents like this, and having a daughter-in-law like Jiaxue is filial piety. Xiangdong has changed, he's married and forgotten his mother."
Li Mingqing advised: "Sister-in-law, calm down first."
"Sister-in-law, it's a good thing that I don't let you work. I'm afraid you'll get tired. Just eat and drink, go out shopping, and I'll take Mom to the mall later. You can come with us."
Zhang Lihua curled her lips and said, "I think they both dislike me."
"How could that be? My niece-in-law is not that kind of person."
“You know a person’s face but not his heart.”
Ding-ling-ling——
The phone rang in the living room.
Li Mingqing answered the phone and said, "It must be Xiangdong calling. He must be so worried."
"Just say I'm not here."
Pick up the phone.
Xiangdong's anxious voice rang out: "Uncle, has my mother been to your house?"
"Yes, I'm eating."
He breathed a sigh of relief: "I was so scared, I thought she bought a ticket back home alone."
"It's okay, don't worry."
Less than half an hour after hanging up the phone, Li Mingli also arrived.
"Brother, let's have breakfast together."
"We have to eat something. It almost started a world war so early in the morning," Li Mingli complained.
Zhang Lihua glared at him and said, "You just try to smooth things over."
Old Man Li: "Let's talk after dinner."
After dinner, Li Mingli said, "Let's go home."
Zhang Lihua glared at him angrily: "Go home? Can we go back now? Let's stay here with Mingqing."
"Brother, sister-in-law, just talk about dinner tonight, it's not a big deal."
"It's very difficult," Zhang Lihua said worriedly.
Mrs. Li: "It's normal to have friction. What's done is done. Don't bring it up again."
"Mom, is this your experience?"
"I can't say I'm experienced, but it's not a big deal. You want to help for their own good, and they don't let you do it for your own good."
"They dislike me going to their room to organize things."
Sun Jiaxue carefully considered and said, "Let the young couple clean their own room. The bedroom is more private."
"Jiaxue, do you mean I did something wrong?"
"That's not what I meant, sister-in-law. You have to know your limits," she explained.
Li Mingqing stood up and said, "Jiaxue is right. We must know when to stop."
Zhang Lihua felt like the sky was falling when she looked at them.
Is making your bed really that serious? Is it really a case of good intentions leading to bad consequences?
"Xiangdong's wife doesn't take it to heart, so you don't have to worry about it either. It's all over," Li Mingli comforted.
"Alas, being a mother-in-law is not easy."
Sun Jiaxue: "Don't worry, sister-in-law, everything will work out in the end."
"I'm really afraid that I'll be knocked off the bridge."
She said embarrassedly.
Mrs. Li: "Let's go out for a walk and change our mood."
"Let's go, money earned is to be spent."
I bought a lot of things in big and small bags.
A group of people arrived at the hotel.
Xiangdong and his wife were already waiting in the private room.
"mom."
His wife Lin Qingqing also shouted, "Mom."
Zhang Lihua didn't put on airs and smiled, "You two came so early, please take a seat."
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle, aunt," Lin Qingqing greeted them one by one.
"Qingqing, how many days of holiday do you have for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Old Lady Li asked kindly.
She smiled and said, "Grandma, it's been two days."
"Why didn't you ask your parents to come? Let's have a meal together."
