Zhou Shuang could sense her concern, and a streak of surprise shot across her eyes . But she didn’t stop .
Lu Yinan’s mother stared at Zhou Shuang’s back and she softly muttered, “I don’t understand the minds of the young people these days . Why is being as skinny as a monkey considered pretty?”
Lu Huanyan overheard her grandmother, and she quipped, “It’s ugly when you’re fat . ”
Lu Yinan’s mother disregarded Yanyan’s remarks and poured soup into a bowl . She bent and sat on the edge of the bed and scooped some with a spoon . “Jiaojiao, drink some,” said Lu Yinan’s mother as she blew on the soup .
Jiaojiao drank it and she asked, “Grandmother, where is Daddy?”
Lu Yinan’s mother pointed in the couch’s direction . “He is sleeping there . Be quiet . ”
“Mommy and Daddy are together,” Jiaojiao proclaimed happily .
Lu Yinan’s mother’s widened her eyes in surprise . “Really?”
Jiaojiao nodded ferociously . “They slept together just now . ”
Just now? Lu Yinan’s mother sized up Lu Yinan, who was still sleeping on the couch . She pressed her lips silently .
It didn’t seem as though they’ve reconciled .
They were just putting on a show for the child .
She averted her gaze and her eyes darted to the triplets . She whispered, “Mommy is still angry with Daddy . All of you must help Daddy, understand? If not, Daddy will not be together with Mommy . Then all three of you will be poor little things . ”
“Okay . ” The triplets nodded earnestly at the same time .
They looked solemn and eager .
As though they truly understood the seriousness of the situation .
Zhou Shuang washed up and came out of the bathroom as she flung droplets of water on the floor .
She walked towards the bed and Lu Yinan’s mother stood up with a bowl of soup . “Have some . You like pork ribs and corn soup, don’t you?”
“Oh!” Zhou the bowl of steaming soup startled Shuang . The corn was swimming enticingly in the bowl .
Was she dreaming?
Why was this old lady so nice to her?
Every time she quarreled with Lu Yinan, she always treated her coldly .
Why was she… being so nice to her?
Lu Yinan’s mother became annoyed when Zhou Shuang froze . “If you skip meals, how can you be a role model for the triplets?”
Zhou Shuang frowned and quipped, “I didn’t skip meals . ”
She lost weight by exercising alright .
“Anyway, don’t lose any more weight . ” Lu Yinan’s mother sized her up from top to toe and pushed the bowl towards her .
Zhou Shuang had exercised daily in the morning and at night for the past six months . She ate lesser and lost a substantial amount of weight . She had reverted to her pre-pregnancy weight .
Since she became a mother, she appeared to be more feminine and mature .
Her hair was longer .
And indeed, her looks and temperament seemed to have improved…
Lu Yinan’s mother scrutinized her carefully .
“Madam Chen, why are you scrutinizing my children’s mother?”
Lu Yinan’s lazy and sleepy voice sounded with a hint of amusement .
Lu Yinan’s mother turned and peered at her son, who was yawning away . “Rascal . Wake up and drink some soup . ”
Lu Yinan put down his hand and asked, “Isn’t the soup for your granddaughter and daughter-in-law? You cooked my share too?”
He had blurted ‘daughter-in-law’ so casually and naturally that it seemed as though there was nothing wrong . But indeed, Zhou Shuang was the rightful daughter-in-law of the Lu family .
