Chapter 158 - 157: Opinions
There weren’t many relatives leaving from Grandma’s house, except for the elder uncle, second uncle, and people from mother-in-law’s side. Xiao Wan had visited her parents’ home the day before yesterday, so on the sixteenth of August, she went to the market early in the morning and bought a lot of groceries.
By around ten o’clock, mother-in-law Shen Qing came with her youngest son Hu Dong. According to Grandma, mother-in-law had two children. Last time they met, Hu Lijuan, the elder daughter, was sixteen and in her third year of high school. The youngest son, Hu Dong, was already fourteen and about to start high school. He greeted Lin Wan shyly as Saozi and then fell silent.
After mother-in-law arrived, she chatted with Grandma for a while and then went into the kitchen.
Lin Wan saw her come in and quickly stopped what she was doing, calling out "Mom."
Shen Qing still showed little expression and replied, "What are you planning to cook?"
"Mom, I can manage on my own. You should go chat with Grandma."
"It’s no trouble. Let me help you chop the vegetables. Your second aunt will be here soon."
"Oh, sure."
In fact, not much was prepared. Since it was hot, Lin Wan mostly prepared cold dishes.
"How are you getting along with Xiao Yi?"
Shen Qing’s sudden question nearly caught Lin Wan off guard. "Quite well. He’s very considerate."
Mother-in-law usually maintained a detached attitude as if things didn’t concern her. No matter what was happening, she did her own thing and ignored what others said, often speaking softly.
