If you love her, you have to take her little moods seriously.

Qingqing lived as she pleased in the Du family, and she couldn't suffer any grievances even after marrying into the Su family.

Su Qingming put down his chopsticks and said to Yueqing earnestly, "Qingqing, just live the same way you did at home before. You don't need to worry about anything at home."

Looking at Su Qingming's serious expression, Du Yueqing couldn't help but feel a strange sensation in her heart.

She married him because she valued his family's social standing.

However, after spending these past few months together, she has come to have a good impression of the steady and reliable Su Qingming.

His performance in dealing with people, interpersonal relationships, and the workplace gives Yueqing a strong sense of security.

Perhaps because Su Qingming is the youngest child in the Su family, he behaves somewhat willfully when facing the elders and peers of the Su family.

But in front of Yueqing, he completely changed, as if he were a different person.

However, Yueqing wasn't the kind of person to be pretentious, and she wouldn't think that Su Qingming was disrespectful to his elders or impolite to his older siblings.

If others don't mind, why should she, as their wife, go to the trouble of correcting it?

After the two finished eating and rested for two or three hours, they leisurely went to the Su family's house when it was almost noon.

As soon as the couple arrived at the Su family's courtyard, they heard bursts of laughter coming from inside the house.

The women in the room immediately stopped laughing when they saw Du Yueqing and Su Qingming walk in.

One of the women, who looked the oldest, quickly spoke up, "This must be Mingming's wife, come over here and let your sister-in-law take a look."

Upon hearing the woman refer to herself as "elder sister-in-law," Du Yueqing was immediately filled with suspicion. Su Qingming's elder sister-in-law must be over fifty years old, right?

She looks to be about the same age as her mother-in-law.

Seeing this, Ma Xiaoqing waved to her daughter-in-law, "Qingqing, come here quickly. These are all your sisters-in-law. Come and get to know them."

Yueqing looked at the room full of sisters-in-law who were about the same age as her mother-in-law.

And the scrutinizing looks from her sisters-in-law made her feel a little awkward. Although she was a teacher and used to being the center of attention, she still felt the pressure.

Seeing his wife's nervousness, Su Qingming, who had brought her in, quickly grabbed her hand and said to the woman who had just spoken, "Sister-in-law, please keep your eyes to yourselves, don't frighten Qingqing."

"And all you sisters-in-law, please don't bully Qingqing. Qingqing is much younger than you all, and she can't stand being watched by your sharp eyes."

Seeing her brother-in-law acting like this again, Sister-in-law Su felt a pang of heartache.

But she's gotten used to it. Knowing that her husband dotes on his younger brother, whom he raised like a son, Sister-in-law Su just smiles slightly.

“Mingming really dotes on his wife, unlike your older brother, who always bosses me around.”

Su Qingming protested to his elder brother, "Sister-in-law, please don't wrong my brother. Every time I speak without respect, he scolds me and tells me to respect you more. Why doesn't he care about me?"

Sister-in-law Su smiled and remained silent. Each time Brother Su gave a light scolding, it was more like he was teasing a child.

Sister-in-law Su was a great beauty when she was young, otherwise Brother Su wouldn't have fallen for her. It's just that she's a bit petty.

Back then, Brother Su was a city dweller with a job, while Sister-in-law Su grew up in the countryside. She was incredibly lucky to marry Brother Su.

But there's a reason why Sister-in-law Su doesn't like her brother-in-law: he's more favored by her husband than her own children.

Unfortunately, her own child was also disappointing, treating her brother-in-law like a younger brother and protecting him.

Every time I, as their mother, stand up for them, they tell me not to take it too seriously.

She doesn't care? If she didn't care, would these children have achieved what they have today?

Sometimes, Sister-in-law Su couldn't help but think smugly: Su Qingming, who was pampered by everyone, had no real skills and could only be an unknown bureau chief in this small county.

And this younger brother-in-law, doesn't he still have to rely on his husband and several children to live comfortably?

The women accompanying her were also chattering and praising her. Ma Xiaoqing looked at her niece-in-law, who was about the same age as her.

Seeing her being flattered and looking so happy, I couldn't help but feel suspicious.

It's only because her sister-in-law is gone that this niece-in-law can live so carefree.

Otherwise, she would be like a little quail, meek and subservient in front of her sister-in-law, since her sister-in-law can't stand up straight in front of her mother-in-law.

Today, Ma Xiaoqing and her sister-in-law are the most senior members of the family here; her sister-in-law is the wife of Su Qingming's third uncle.

According to age, the third aunt is the oldest, while Ma Xiaoqing and Sister-in-law Su are the same age.

As for the other three aunts, the eldest and second aunts have passed away, and the fourth aunt was ill and did not come.

At noon, the Su family officially started their meal. Before eating, they had to worship their ancestors, and the newlyweds kowtowed before the incense and then serve tea to their elders.

Su Qingming, who was standing next to him, pulled his wife to his uncle's side and knelt down obediently.

Su Qingming and Du Yueqing said in unison, "Uncle, please have some tea."

Eighty-year-old Uncle Su looked at the newlyweds with hazy eyes, especially Su Qingming, the youngest nephew in the family, who was the most lovable.

There were nine siblings in Su's generation. Su's father was the youngest, the late-life child of his parents, after his eldest uncle had already married and had children.

Old Mrs. Su conceived Mr. Su when she was in her forties, and her parents passed away a few years after Mr. Su was born.

So Su's father was raised by his eldest brother like a son, who took care of him from the bottom of his heart. Because Su's father was raised by his eldest brother, he was loved more than any of his other children.

Uncle Su's eldest son followed suit and doted on Uncle Su's son as if he were his own child.

After all, Sister-in-law Su was very protective of her son, so Brother Su didn't need to worry about his son at all.

Among the family, only Su Qingming and he were not so formal with each other. Through Su Qingming, Brother Su experienced the satisfaction of being a father.

Uncle Su smiled and looked his nephew's wife up and down for a while, then handed Yueqing the red envelope he had prepared beforehand, and even gave her the one for his deceased aunt.

Another newlywed couple was exchanging a whole bunch of auspicious words.

Turning to Su Qingming, he added, "Mingming has really grown up. From now on, he needs to be obedient and pay more attention to his career."

“Now that you have a wife and children, you have to take responsibility. Think carefully about whether you really want to go to the city. If you have made up your mind, go find your older brother. He will help you.”

Su Qingming replied respectfully, "Uncle, I understand. Don't worry, I will think it over carefully."

Uncle Su nodded in satisfaction, "Hmm, not bad, not bad. It's good that you're thoughtful. Alright, go and serve tea to your second uncle."
