Chapter 93 Start
After the two men of the house returned, they found that the atmosphere was somewhat different, though they couldn’t quite put their finger on where exactly it differed, but dinner felt quieter than usual.
Chen Guizhi picked up a chopstick full of food for Yang PeiMin, "You’ve been busy these past few days and must be exhausted, eat more."
The onlookers were somewhat stunned by her action. Usually, it was common to see daughters-in-law showing filial piety to their mothers-in-law, but to see a mother-in-law treating a daughter-in-law like a daughter was rare. Actions like those of Chen Guizhi were not nonexistent, but they were not as abrupt as hers.
Chen Guizhi had a gentle nature and was amiable to everyone; she rarely quarreled with people. When the new bride entered the family, Chen Guizhi was also very good to her; not assigning work nor nitpicking, showing only the protective love an elder has for a junior. This had once made Shen Yidong jealous, but today, Chen Guizhi’s actions even carried a hint of guilt and eagerness to please, which was puzzling.
What’s going on?
Yang PeiMin, too, was startled and hurriedly reached out with her bowl to receive it, laughing as she said, "Mother dotes on me the most, how did you know I like this fried egg? I was just about to pick some."
This family was currently gathered around the kang table for the meal, with Chen Guizhi sitting opposite Yang PeiMin, and the plate of fried eggs with dried white radish just in front of Chen Guizhi. What Yang PeiMin said seemed natural and considerate.
Shen Yiguang raised an eyebrow.
He turned his head and said to Shen PeiMin, "See how well my mother treats you, be sure to show more filial piety to our parents from now on."
Yang PeiMin nodded with a smile.
