Reborn in the 1980s: Recapture My Devoted Husband-Chapter 849 - 746: Which Family’s Mother-in-law Is That? (Part 4)

At this moment, Xie Lingzhi and Ye Qing were sitting on the sofa in the living room.

It seemed that Xie Lingzhi was getting along quite well with Hua Hua. Children are young and don’t remember past events. So whoever treats them well, they like and rely on.

Ye Qing watched Xie Lingzhi happily holding Hua Hua, calling him "good grandson" nonstop, secretly mocking her in her heart.

She thought of how they left a one-year-old child there, ignored, and clenched her teeth wanting to tear them apart.

But not right now; Xie Lingzhi’s karma has already arrived, happily treating someone else’s grandson as her own.

Who knows what will happen when she finds out one day.

It’d be best if it makes her die of anger.

"Where are you going?" Xie Lingzhi looked at Lin Wan, who was about to go out with a little girl, and asked.

"I’m going to my godmother’s place. Aunt Xie, do you need something?"

"It’s almost noon, time to cook, and you manage to slip away so fast. Ah Qing cooked breakfast; you should cook lunch."

"Aunt Xie, Little Star and I won’t be home for lunch. You can cook for yourselves, and don’t bother saving any for us."

"Who gave you permission to go out? Why are you leaving at this time?"

Lin Wan teased, "Is the Mei Family a jail or what? Am I not allowed to come and go freely?"

"You can go out, but after you’ve cooked lunch. Then you can go anywhere you want, and we won’t interfere."

"Initially, I thought the Mei Family was grand, that being a daughter-in-law here meant I could live in luxury. But now I realize I have to boil my own bathwater, wash my own clothes, and cook my own meals. Everywhere, I have to watch people’s reactions and pretend to be dignified and noble when out. Being a daughter-in-law is quite suffocating here. I wonder if my grandpa and grandma will feel sorry for me after knowing the hardships I face at the Mei Family."

"You? What hardships have you faced? You’re just making a fuss over cooking a meal. I certainly don’t want a daughter-in-law like you."

"I was never your daughter-in-law anyway; I have my own mother-in-law. Even if I cook, it’s for her. Who do you think you are?"

"Good for you, Lin Wan. How dare you insult me? Watch me teach you a lesson today, make you understand what respect for elders means. Also, let me teach you the Lin Family’s way." Xie Lingzhi tried to hit Lin Wan, but of course, Lin Wan wouldn’t just stand there waiting to be hit.

"Why don’t you go teach your actual daughter-in-law? I can’t afford your teaching."

While Xie Lingzhi was walking over from the sofa, Lin Wan had already taken Little Star and walked out the door.

"Haha, Mom, that grandma’s angry face looks so scary. Hua Hua brother must be frightened."

"Yeah, she’s quite fierce. Let’s ignore her and stay far away in the future."

"Yeah, yeah, I’ll tell Hua Hua brother too. Mom, when can we go back? I miss Grandpa and Grandma."

"We’ll go back in a few days. Just in time for Little Star to start school."

When Lin Wan and Little Star arrived at their godmother’s, they found she was asleep.

Lin Wan and Little Star looked at each other and shrugged helplessly. Surely, godmother didn’t sleep well last night. So, the mother and daughter didn’t disturb her.

Lin Wan took Little Star out of the courtyard and entered a nearby restaurant. The mother and daughter shared a bowl of cold noodles, then went for a stroll around the youth center. By the time they returned, it was already past two.

The room was quiet, apparently everyone was taking a nap. Lin Wan boiled some water and went upstairs. After the mother and daughter showered, they slept until after three.

When she and Little Star were ready, Mei Lang Jun happened to drive over to pick them up.
