After a blind date, a wealthy heir asked me to marry him.

When Lu Shiyi saw that Li's mother had finished putting her things away and come out, her attitude became noticeably warmer.

She unconsciously turned her gaze to her husband beside her. At the same time, Fu Cheng also looked at his wife in tacit understanding. After exchanging a glance, they each turned their heads back.

Although they didn't speak, they both understood the meaning in each other's eyes.

After pouring Lu Shiyi a glass of water and handing it to her, Li's mother sat down nearby.

She looked at Lu Shiyi with a smile on her face and said, "Shiyi, you have no idea. Yaoyao has been staying in her room all day to look for a job. She doesn't even eat properly. Sometimes I get really worried about her. Now that you're here, please help persuade her. Health is the most important thing. She can find a job slowly. Besides, she hasn't been working before and she's been doing just fine. There's no rush."

Hearing this from not far away, Lu Shuyao looked up at her mother-in-law, her expression unchanged.

In the past, she would have genuinely felt that her mother-in-law was showing her concern. But now, she only sensed that her mother-in-law was implying that she stayed at home all day, did no work, and was just eating for free.

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyi forced a smile and said, "Auntie, Yaoyao is married and has her own family now. I'm very happy about that. As her older sister, I will support her unconditionally. As for her health, she suffered so much recently and really needs to rest. Please be understanding during this time."

Upon hearing this, Li's mother couldn't help but think to herself, "Other sows give birth to a litter and then they're out in the field in a day or two. This one hasn't even given birth yet, and she's already gone through an empty postpartum period, and she's still being so dramatic. It's been so many days, and she's still saying she needs to rest. What kind of daughter-in-law is this lazy? It's unbelievable..."

Although she was furious inside, she smiled obsequiously and said, "Don't mention the trouble. We're all family. By the way, doesn't your Fu Cheng work at a big company? See if you can help Yao Yao, so she won't have to go through all this trouble herself."

She was thinking to herself that Fu Cheng's company was a big company. Regardless of whether Yao Yao could get in in the end, she could at least use this incident to find out about Fu Cheng's background and see how capable he really was.

Moreover, she often heard her son complain that his company was too small and that he felt stifled as the technical director, but there were no other good opportunities at the moment. If she could take the opportunity to introduce Yao Yao to a job and then persuade A Kai to go there, wouldn't that be better?

Anyway, if the couple helps Ah Kai get a better job, isn't that also helping Yao Yao so she can enjoy a better life?

However, before Li's mother could finish speaking and before Lu Shiyi could say anything, Lu Shuyao said directly, "Mom, I have an interview next week. My brother-in-law's company is not related to my major, so he can't help me."

In fact, Lu Shuyao didn't know exactly what her brother-in-law's company did; she said that simply because she didn't want to bother him.

She felt that using connections and backdoors was the most troublesome thing. People like her would rather suffer more and take more detours than take shortcuts.

Moreover, regardless of her brother-in-law's position in the company, he would inevitably have to go out and ask for favors from various people, and she didn't want him to worry about her work.

Upon hearing this, Li's mother said impatiently, "That was an interview, not a job interview. Besides, you've never even worked before, so it's no wonder you're unlikely to pass the interview."

After saying that, she realized that it was inappropriate for her to say that in front of Yao Yao's sister and brother-in-law, so she looked at Lu Shiyi and tried to smooth things over, saying, "I may have been a bit blunt, but I was just worried about Yao Yao. You said that she still needs to rest, and going back and forth for interviews is just putting her body through the wringer."

Upon hearing this, Lu Shiyi looked up at Li's mother with a smile on her face, but her tone was unusually cold. "Auntie, finding a job is something that we young people should worry about. You don't need to worry about it. Her brother-in-law and I will take care of it for her."

How could she not understand what Li's mother was thinking? So after hearing this, she exchanged a glance with her husband beside her and said directly that they would take care of it, without explicitly telling Fu Cheng whether he would help Yao Yao find a job.

Moreover, she and her sister shared the same idea: they didn't want to trouble their husbands. Besides, her husband didn't seem like the type to pull strings.

Just as Li's mother was about to say something more, Lu Shiyi suddenly exclaimed, "Oh dear!"

She said, "Auntie, look, we've been so busy talking that it's almost noon already. Should I go and cook for you?"

Li's mother was taken aback. Ever since Fu Cheng's first visit, Lu Shiyi had never cooked at her house again. What was going on today?

But since she brought it up herself, let her do it.

Just as Li's mother was about to reply, "Then thank you for your trouble, Eleven," she heard Lu Eleven call out to her husband beside her, "Yao Yao said we bought a lot of groceries today. Why don't you come and help me out?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Cheng stood up, and Li's mother felt a cold, sharp light piercing straight at her, so frightened that she didn't dare to look directly at it.

Thinking that her son might have to rely on him in the future, Li's mother quickly said, "You are all guests, why are you cooking? Just sit still, I'll cook."

With that, he got up and went to the kitchen.

Before Lu Shiyi and his wife arrived, she had already planned everything out. She just needed to get along with Yao Yao's family on the surface. She would let Yao Yao cook lunch. If they didn't like it, so be it. As long as she was happy and comfortable, she didn't care what they thought.

But at this moment, she just couldn't bring herself to be tough. Despite being extremely unwilling, she still gave in and said she would cook.

After Li's mother went into the kitchen to cook, Lu Shuyao pulled her sister into her bedroom, wanting her to see some information about her upcoming job interview.

Seeing that there were only three grown men left in the living room, Mr. Li felt something was off. So, he, who never went into the kitchen, went to help his wife.

In his rural hometown, men who went into the kitchen were considered good-for-nothings, but he didn't care about that now.

Besides, he's in the city now, not the countryside, so no one will laugh at him.

After Mr. Li went inside, only Fu Cheng and Li Haokai remained in the living room.

Fu Cheng had never liked his brother-in-law from the beginning, especially after he learned that the man did not know how to respect his wife, he was even less willing to get to know him better, after all, people with different values ​​cannot work together.

He sat coldly on the sofa, barely saying a word.

Seeing this, Li Haokai took the initiative to approach and start a conversation. After all, he was a leader, and no matter what he thought, he could still put on a polite act with ease.

However, just as he called out "brother-in-law" and was about to exchange pleasantries, his phone rang.

Li Haokai glanced at it and immediately became flustered...
