“Since you know they are just talking nonsense, there’s no need to listen. Some people just can’t stand to see others doing well, and it’s normal for them to say sour things. Besides, the Fourth child does really have ability; he’s not the kind that lives off his wife. Sooner or later, he’ll make a career for himself, and if you stand upright, you won’t fear what others say.” Mrs. Yang said this but also felt some dissatisfaction deep inside. What the Eldest Daughter-in-law said was not totally unreasonable; her sister and niece hadn’t helped with anything over the past few days, which was fine, but instead, they had the leisure to listen to other people’s gossip.
Yang Juxiang and her daughter had originally thought this was a good opportunity to drive a wedge between Mrs. Yang and her Mother-in-law, Su Wenyue. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yang hadn’t wavered at all, and there was something off about the way she spoke.
“Eldest Sister is right; that’s exactly how it is. Those people just can’t bear to see others with a happy family and love to talk nonsense. If anyone had a Daughter-in-law like the Fourth Daughter-in-law, they’d be too busy pampering her to bother with anything else.”
Yang Juxiang was clever too. Knowing she couldn’t stir trouble from this angle, she changed the subject. Her original intention wasn’t this; it was just incidental. Thus, her gaze shifted to the bowl of Chicken Soup, where the chicken had been stewed until the skin was crispy and the meat tender, and its essence had infused the soup, revealing how delicious it was just by its aroma.
The Yang Juxiang Mother-daughter duo had their eyes on that bowl of Chicken Soup. Mrs. Yang, who had a soft spot for her sister and niece, couldn’t help but cave in, and naturally, the Chicken Soup ended up in their stomachs.
Su Wenyue just laughed when she found out and wasn’t surprised at all. The Han Family’s food was no longer as good as before, and it had been two or three days. Given her understanding of Yang Juxiang and her daughter, their patience until now was already more restraint than expected, but she just hadn’t anticipated that they would set their sights on this. It seemed Yang Juxiang didn’t share much sisterly affection with her Mother-in-law; otherwise, the soup was specially stewed to nourish the body of her Mother-in-law.
“What are you laughing about now, plotting something sinister?” Han Yu came back to see his wife’s sly smile and raised an eyebrow.
“Husband, you’re back!” Su Wenyue turned her head towards the voice upon hearing it.
Knowing that Su Wenyue was a bit of a germaphobe, Han Yu had cleaned himself up before coming back to the Room, then he embraced his wife tightly: “Tell me, what are you chuckling about, don’t change the subject.”
“There’s nothing, you’re seeing things. Me, such a pure and kind person, how could I plot anything bad? Husband, how could you think so badly of someone?” Su Wenyue looked at Han Yu innocently. She wouldn’t easily admit it, especially when the one being schemed against was her Mother-in-law.
“Don’t try to pull the wool over my eyes. I have sharp eyesight, and you better come clean, or I’ll take care of you!” Han Yu emphasized the words “take care” particularly strongly.
The same old tricks, but in most cases, Su Wenyue still fell for Han Yu’s machinations, for she didn’t want to be tormented by him.
