Nowadays, the living standards at home have improved, and with some pointers from her daughters-in-law, she feels her cooking skills have advanced by leaps and bounds.
She was just about to show off her skills to her younger daughter-in-law.
After Zhuang Jingshu handed the child over to Lin Chuxia, she went out. When she came back, she was carrying so many bags that Mrs. Qin and Qin Juan were both taken aback.
Earlier on, Qin Yang had already explained Zhuang Jingshu’s identity and the previous misunderstandings with the Lin Family to Mrs. Qin and the others.
Mrs. Qin cursed the shamelessness of the Lin Family while feeling sorry for her daughter-in-law and also sympathizing a little with Zhuang Jingshu.
But in the end, she was happy for her daughter-in-law.
The Lin Family had always been clear about how they treated their younger daughter-in-law. It turns out she wasn’t their biological child. Now with her real mother back, judging by Zhuang Jingshu’s timely actions, her daughter-in-law has gained another person to care for her.
"In-law, why did you buy so many things?" Mrs. Qin quickly called Jia Liang to help carry the bags and then turned to speak with Zhuang Jingshu, "I heard your health isn’t great, just let the kids handle these chores, you can instruct them as you wish."
She was referring to Qin Yang and Jia Liang and their spouses.
Zhuang Jingshu just wanted to buy things for her daughter and granddaughter, regardless of whether they needed them or not, eager to express her affection.
Prior to acknowledging her identity with her daughter, she had been holding back.
Now that her identity was revealed, she was eager to bring them every good thing she had.
What surprised her even more was being addressed as "in-law" by Mrs. Qin.
She glanced bewilderedly at Qin Yang, who was helping her carry things. He gave her a slight nod, "My mom is right. It’s so hot outside, don’t go out again. Let me know if you need anything, I’ll handle it. Come inside and rest, we’ll eat in a bit."
"Oh, alright."
Tears glistened in her eyes, a smile on her lips. She walked a few steps, then stopped, and said to Zhuang Yang behind her, "Hurry up and deal with what I mentioned earlier, the sooner the better."
Zhuang Yang, who was always following the chairman: "..."
Very well, achieving a world where only he was hurt.
But he was happy for the chairman. The recent days hadn’t been easy for her, and he truly felt sorry for her.
The family had lunch in the living room, except Lin Chuxia was not allowed out of bed. Worried she might feel lonely eating alone, they moved the bedside table aside, set up the meal, and let Qin Yang eat with her in the bedroom.
After lunch, Jia Liang and Qin Juan left. Mrs. Qin lulled the child to sleep, suggesting Lin Chuxia rest as well.
"Childbirth saps energy and the body becomes weak. You look fine now, but if you wait until you actually feel uncomfortable, it will be too late. Apart from eating and drinking, sleep is the best way to restore your body. Trust me, see how good your sister-in-law’s health is?"
Mrs. Qin felt she had good experience in taking care of her daughters-in-law during their postpartum period.
Zhuang Jingshu stayed silent nearby but agreed with Mrs. Qin’s viewpoint.
The health issues she faced were largely due to not resting properly after childbirth back then.
She didn’t want her daughter to suffer the same hardships she did.
Lin Chuxia obediently took a nap, while Mrs. Qin and Zhuang Jingshu handled washing chores in the yard.
Qin Yang also went to work for a while.
He had taken a three-day leave, and now that his wife was discharged, it was inappropriate not to report back to work.
Before leaving, Lin Chuxia assigned him a task — to come up with a proper name for Qi Qi.
Lin Chuxia had a sound nap. If Qi Qi hadn’t gotten hungry, she might have kept sleeping.
Mrs. Qin was already preparing formula for the child. Even though Lin Chuxia had enough milk, Mrs. Qin didn’t want to wake her up, allowing her to sleep a bit more.
There was no place more comfortable for sleep than home.
In the end, though, they still woke her up.
