Chapter 430: Chapter 439 Huifang, you’ve worked hard Chapter 430: Chapter 439 Huifang, you’ve worked hard She went to the authorities and was told she mustn’t speak of the matter, as it was a matter of discipline; she was to return ho and await news. When she went there with money, they darkened their faces, accusing her of bribery, and demanded she take it back imdiately.
She was anxious. Her son had already been taken away for half a month, yet she knew nothing.
It was all Bai Xin’s fault.
She returned to the grocery store in a daze, but seeing the store brought a faint smile to her face. Thankfully, she still had a good daughter-in-law and a good grandson, who managed the grocery store so well, even keeping the accounts beautifully, although she couldn’t understand them.
Every day she saw many people coming to shop, and they would need to restock soon, so they would just have to send her.
When she got ho, Old Mrs. Mu started to cook. Her grandson liked at, so she made extra. Now that her son was not at ho, her grandson was her little treasure, and she still needed to find so way to find out where her son really was.
Why wouldn’t they let her see him?
This thought caused her another twinge of heartache.
She hadn’t begun cooking when her daughter-in-law, Huifang, ca back and took over the ladle.
“Mom, let do it, you don’t have to. Take a rest, don’t worry. I’ve noticed you’ve not been looking well recently; you’re too stressed out.”
Huifang quickly took it from her and pushed Old Mrs. Mu out of the kitchen.
“Mom, you shouldn’t do any housework, go rest for now, and I’ll call you when the al is ready. Xiao Bao, take your grandma to rest.”
Old Mrs. Mu felt her daughter-in-law was truly considerate, so much better than Bai Xin by countless folds; naturally, she did not see the deep chill behind the smile.
“Huifang. Thanks for everything, you really are a good daughter-in-law.”
Old Mrs. Mu couldn’t express how satisfied she was with Huifang.
Following her grandson, Old Mrs. Mu lay down for a while and dozed off, only to be woken up when the al was ready.
Old Mrs. Mu called her daughter to co and eat, and after so thought, Huifang spoke up.
“Mom, there’s sothing I’ve been unsure about how to bring up. I’ve heard that being too overweight isn’t good for one’s health. Maybe we could have Xiao i lose so weight, have her jog and do so housework regularly. Otherwise, it could affect her chances of getting married. I know a distant relative who has a house in the county town and I was thinking…”
Before Huifang finished speaking, Old Mrs. Mu began nodding vigorously.
“Good, good, good, you make the decision. If she doesn’t obey, just punish her.”
Her daughter’s marriage had always been an issue close to her heart, yet no one had co to ask for her hand, making her anxious. Now, she felt she could be at ease.
She eagerly took Huifang’s hand.
“Huifang, I’m truly relying on you.”
Huifang smiled, a deep warmth in her eyes, squeezing her hand in return.
“Mom, it’s what I should do. Mu Yi’s sister is like my own sister. I care deeply for her.”
During the al, Old Mrs. Mu, for the first ti ever, forbade her daughter from eating at.
“Don’t eat that. From today on, you’re losing weight; your sister-in-law has found you a match.”
Mu Yu felt aggrieved. Compared to Bai Xin, she disliked this person even more because, with their mother and son around, she was no longer the precious daughter in her mother’s heart.
She felt like a weed by the roadside, sothing which might be disregarded, not even given food, in the weeks to co.
Yet she dared not defy…
She could only eat her vegetables in resignation, while Huifang added chicken to their bowls.
“Mom, let the sister have chicken, it won’t make her fat. You should eat so, too.”
“Give it to Xiao Bao,” said Old Mrs. Mu, doting on her grandson.
“He has a chicken drumstick; you two eat more.”
After eating, she put Mu Yu to work. Mu Yu was unwilling, and this resulted in a scolding from Old Mrs. Mu. Mu Yu felt she really was too aggrieved.
