Chapter 130: Chapter 130: A Bit Worried

Translator: 549690339

Su Wenyue couldn’t help but find Mrs. Yang’s behavior somewhat amusing. Her mother-in-law was certainly a stubborn woman, but as Su Wenyue had already done her part, it was no longer her concern if her mother-in-law didn’t appreciate her efforts. She would never admit that her actions were deliberate; after all, she wasn’t that bad. It was absolutely impossible to discern the mother-in-law’s true intentions.

After delivering the pig’s trotters, Han Yu had already served the meals and was waiting for her. Initially, Han Yu thought that, given Mrs. Yang’s earlier reaction, she would not give Su Wenyue a warm welcome and intended to deliver them himself. However, he couldn’t stop his daughter-in-law from showing her filial piety. He was concerned, though, about his mother’s increasingly unpredictable temperament and worried that his daughter-in-law might be wronged. He hoped his mother would recognize the good in his daughter-in-law and remember all she had done for her. Han Yu felt that Su Wenyue had done all that she could, knowing that not every daughter-in-law would be so sincerely kind to her mother-in-law.

Between his birth mother and his daughter-in-law, Han Yu had, without realizing it, started to lean towards his daughter-in-law. It showed that Su Wenyue’s daily efforts weren’t futile, as at the very least they made Han Yu remember her goodness, and that was the most worthwhile thing.

“Daughter-in-law, you’re back, did Mother give you a hard time?”

Han Yu pulled her over with concern, fearing that Su Wenyue might have been treated unfairly, which made her feel very heartened; it felt rewarding to know that this man recognized her efforts and genuinely cared for her.

Although Su Wenyue felt gratified inside, she had no intention of continuing with Han Yu’s line of thought, nor did she pretentiously respond with a no, acting like an understanding daughter-in-law. Instead, she looked at Han Yu with a face full of grievance.

“What do you think! Mother is truly angry this time. I said so many nice things to appease her, but she ignored me completely, with such a stern face that I felt a bit scared inside. It’s all your fault, if it wasn’t for you, Mother wouldn’t have gotten angry. Blame you, it’s all your fault!” Su Wenyue said, poking Han Yu vigorously a few times as if venting the frustration caused by Mrs. Yang’s treatment of her. And it was this reaction that made Han Yu feel particularly tenderhearted; if it wasn’t for her, why would his daughter-in-law endure so much?

“Alright, alright, it’s all my fault. You can take out all your grievances on me, just don’t be too upset about it; that wouldn’t be worth it,” Han Yu said with increasingly accommodating tones.

Inside, Su Wenyue wasn’t angry in the slightest. After what she had experienced in her previous life, Mrs. Yang’s behavior was nothing. At most, Mrs. Yang would be uncommunicative with a stern expression, which was actually quite ‘gentle’ already. Su Wenyue was merely pretending, to make Han Yu worry and show her some extra affection, endearing herself to him. This was something she had to do regularly, but she knew where to draw the line, understanding that overdoing it would make her no different from a shrewish woman. So, after this little outburst, which Han Yu found quite endearing, she was looked after by him and had a comfy dinner.

Having put on an act, Su Wenyue was then pampered by Han Yu as she comfortably enjoyed her dinner.

“I want this, that…”

Since coming to the Han Family, she rarely had the chance to enjoy such a good meal. Su Wenyue was quite demanding, instructing Han Yu without any reluctance. A good man, she knew, was trained, and she certainly didn’t want Han Yu to be like that other man, acting like a total patriarch, expecting her to wait on him hand and foot, which was very stifling. Moreover, it seemed to her that her training was effective, as Han Yu showed real potential to become a good man.

Han Yu was unaware of Su Wenyue’s ‘crafty’ thoughts. Seeing his daughter-in-law bossing him around in such a carefree manner, his face was full of doting affection. He was happy to spoil his daughter-in-law, and seeing her eat with such joy, he enjoyed it even more than if he were eating himself.
