  Ning Shu held a handful of green onions in one hand and Cai Anqi’s heels in the other, while Cai Anqi carried the rest.

  She walked barefoot behind Ning Shu, and her feet felt like they were barbecued.

  When they met acquaintances on the way back, Ning Shu would say hello with a smile. All those people saw Cai Anqi walk barefoot with smudged makeup, and it looked horrid.

  Aunt Li, who often played mahjong with Yang Ziyi, asked Ning Shu directly, “What’s wrong with your daughter-in-law?”


  Cai Anqi’s expression turned dark. Her beautiful curly hair had turned messy, the white powder on her face was all but gone, and her black eyeliner was smudged.

  She really didn’t look good.

  Ning Shu gave a small smile and said, “Young people love to look good, but it got slightly hot. That’s all.”


  When Aunt Li saw Ning Shu holding a pair of high heels, she said in an annoyed tone, “She’s even having you carry her shoes for her? Even if you spoil her, you need to have a limit.”


  Ning Shu casually said, “I’m fine. Cai Anqi is like my own daughter. She was even afraid that I would get tired, so she helped me with carrying things.”


  Aunt Li cast a sidelong glance at Ning Shu and said, “Which mother-in-law is like you?”


  Aunt Li said to Cai Anqi, “You have a pretty good fortune to be able to meet such an open-minded mother-in-law. I’ve been with her for more than 20 years. She’s a kind-hearted person. You must be filial to your mother-in-law in the future.”


  Cai Anqi’s chest was filled with anger. Who did she think she was? Who was she to lecture her the moment she came? It was none of her business.

  As for the old woman being a good mother-in-law, Cai Anqi wanted to spit in her face. Her mother-in-law was definitely not kind.

  The old woman was deliberately tormenting her daughter-in-law. Who was responsible for her current state?

  Aunt Li patted Ning Shu on the shoulder. “Let’s get together later.”


  Ning Shu nodded.

  Women of the same age in this building often held activities together. They drank tea and participated in some dancing events.

  But after Wang Bo and Cai Anqi got married, Yang Ziyi had to stay at home and do all the housework.

  Cai Anqi never stayed at home. She often went out, saying that she was meeting up with some of her girlfriends. But who knew who she was actually with? Yang Ziyi did all the laundry and cooked at home.

  There were a lot of clothes to wash with the three people at home. All of Cai Anqi’s underwear and stuff were washed by Yang Ziyi. She even said that her clothes were very expensive, so they had to be washed by hand to not get ruined and all that nonsense……

  They met more acquaintances on the way back, and Ning Shu would stop to chat with them. They mostly talked about Cai Anqi, and they asked Ning Shu what had happened to her daughter-in-law.

  Ning Shu was very good-natured and straightforwardly told others why. She continuously praised her daughter-in-law’s filial piety when she met other people and told them how good a daughter-in-law Cai Anqi was.

  But most of them were dubious. They didn’t fully believe what Ning Shu had said. The mother-in-law looked perfectly tidy, but Cai Anqi looked like a mess. How could she possibly be a good daughter-in-law?

  When Ning Shu talked to others, Cai Anqi had no choice but to stand by and wait, listening to them.

  Finally, she couldn’t stand the fact that Ning Shu would chat with others for a long time, while completely disregarding how tired and hot she was.

  “I head upstairs first.” Cai Anqi interrupted Ning Shu and ran upstairs barefoot with the basket.

  Ning Shu smiled apologetically and said goodbye to the others, then quickly chased after Cai Anqi.

  As soon as Cai Anqi got home, she threw the basket on the floor and rushed into the bathroom. After a while, she came out with water droplets sticking all over her body, and she looked quite refreshed.

  “Mother, give me the money.” Cai Anqi extended her hand to Ning Shu.

  Ning Shu was deciding what dishes to cook. She smiled at Cai Anqi and said, “The issue of money isn’t urgent. Come and help me decide what to cook first.”


  Cai Anqi rolled her eyes in annoyance. “I’ll come back once you decide to give me money.”


  After Cai Anqi said her part, she turned around to return to her bedroom.
