Jiang Yinglan's voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for all the customers in the store to hear.

“I just came in and heard the young lady selling membership cards. Could you top up my account with 200 yuan? I’ll put the rest of the money in here after deducting what I bought today. I always need to buy these daily necessities, and I buy them everywhere. I really like the things here, so I’ll buy them here from now on.”

Mu Xiaowan understood that her mother-in-law not only wanted to support her business, acting as a shill, but also wanted to help her promote it.

Mu Xiaowan followed behind, repeatedly agreeing.

She directed Chu Junbai to find a large box to pack all these things.

To be honest, Jiang Yinglan's pointing opened the eyes of those who came to the store to watch the spectacle. It turned out that wealthy people came here to buy things and had so much money saved up. Some of them were even influenced by her and started picking things out themselves.

Normally, the store wouldn't have this many customers; it's usually a constant flow of customers. But because it's the grand opening, not only are there onlookers outside, but the store itself is also packed with people.

One or two people started buying goods, and the others followed suit, picking out what they needed. Mu Xiaowan was quite busy for a while.

Seeing this, Jiang Yinglan said at just the right moment, "My goods aren't urgent. Just pack up what I need first. I'll look at the others and see if there's anything I need. If there is, I'll call you. You can go ahead and get busy."

"Great!" Mu Xiaowan truly admired her mother-in-law's acting skills.

She is well-educated and her behavior reveals her inner refinement, yet her acting skills are understated and genuine.

It made her afraid to call her "Mom" anymore, for fear that her acting would be exposed.

Jiang Yinglan actually paid the money and even got a card, then had Chu Junbai move all the things to the car.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was really leaving, Mu Xiaowan thought she should at least see her off. Chu Junbai saw what she meant, gave her a wink, and then followed Jiang Yinglan out the door.

"Thank you mom!"

As soon as he stepped outside, Chu Junbai thanked his mother.

Jiang Yinglan stopped and pointed at Chu Junbai's car, saying, "Move everything into your car, and you can take it home this afternoon."

Chu Junbai followed instructions, opened the car door, and put the items inside.

Jiang Yinglan put on genuine leather gloves as she spoke.

“Ever since you got married, I’ve noticed you’ve been avoiding Xiaowan. I’ve been thinking to myself, no matter what, you two are married now. Although Xiaowan told me that she wouldn’t stop you if you wanted a divorce, a marriage can’t be ended or ended so easily. The first bowl of rice is always the most delicious.”

The sun was shining brightly today, and the weather was excellent. Jiang Yinglan turned her back to block the bright sun from shining directly into her eyes.

"After spending these days together, I think Xiaowan is a pretty good girl, unlike you who have been avoiding her. I know I can't change your mind, so I thought of a way to let you two spend more time together. Now it seems that you don't treat Xiaowan as badly as I thought. You even thanked me on her behalf, which shows that you consider her family."

"What Mom is trying to say is that since things have come to this, why don't you two try to get along? If you really can't get along, then we can talk about it. Xiao Wan isn't the kind of child who doesn't know her place or manners. Overall, she's a good girl. Give her a chance, and give yourself a chance."

Jiang Yinglan received a rather traditional education, so she did not approve of her son's divorce.

"Mom, I see."

"Yinglan, why are you here so early? I should have been here earlier too. Jincheng said he would come to pick me up and told me to wait at home, but I waited and waited and he didn't come, so I came here by myself."

Ye Jincheng's mother, He Hongxia, arrived by bicycle.

She hadn't even gotten out of the car yet when she started calling out from a distance.

He Hongxia was a military doctor who later became a lecturer in clinical practice at a university.

She and Jiang Yinglan are good friends.

"I haven't been here long either. I bought some things inside, and it wasn't good to stay any longer, so I came out."

"I never expected you could do something so treacherous." He Hongxia smiled as she parked her bicycle.

Chu Junbai nodded slightly in greeting, "Aunt He!"

"Junbai, I didn't expect you to take a day off today to help your wife."

“I received a call from your mother yesterday, saying that your wife’s shop is opening today. Jincheng also came back to tell me about it last night, and asked me to come and support her.”

"Thank you, Aunt He!"

He Hongxia was a talkative person, and when this matter came up, she couldn't help but think of Chu Junbai's wedding. "Given the relationship between our two families, how could I not attend? I haven't even met your wife yet. When you suddenly got married, your wedding was very simple, and your parents didn't even invite any relatives or friends. I couldn't even come because of it. I almost had a fight with your mother because of this."

He Hongxia rolled her eyes at Jiang Yinglan. Jiang Yinglan knew she was in the wrong, but she wasn't angry. She just smiled faintly and endured He Hongxia's reproach.

"Aunt He, Xiao Wan and I will invite you and Uncle to dinner another day."

"That's more accurate. You're much better than your parents."

Jiang Yinglan said, "Why don't you go inside and I'll wait for you outside?"

"What are you waiting for? You have to come with me. What's the point of me shopping alone? Don't worry, I won't expose your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's tricks. Don't forget, I'm here to help too."

Chu Junbai said, "Aunt He, take whatever you want, and put it on my tab."

"You're underestimating your Aunt He. Do I need to charge you for my purchases?"

He Hongxia pulled Jiang Yinglan into the shop.

"This shop is quite nice. It's a general store with the feel of a coffee shop, which is quite pleasant." He Hongxia looked around as soon as she entered.

When Chu Zhihui saw the two elders come in, she was about to greet them, but He Hongxia just patted her hand and said, "Little girl, we can take care of whatever we want ourselves. You can go about your business."

Jiang Yinglan and Chu Zhihui exchanged a glance and smiled.

When Mu Xiaowan saw her mother-in-law pulling in a smartly dressed woman of similar age, she looked at Chu Junbai. There were customers at the counter who wanted to buy things, so she really couldn't leave.

Chu Junbai glanced at her and followed the two elders.

Mu Xiaowan then stood still.

However, she called out from a distance, "Uncles, aunts, grandpas, grandmas, brothers and sisters, what do you want? Just call me and I'll get it for you right away."

"Everyone, please come inside and take a look!" Suddenly a sharp voice rang out.

He Hongxia looked in the direction of the sound, then nudged Jiang Yinglan, "Your sister-in-law, what brings her here? She's making such a racket as soon as she walks in. It doesn't look like she's up to anything."

Jiang Yinglan said coldly, "It's like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken."

Bai Jiao'e led four women in through the door, loudly proclaiming, "This is the shop opened by Junbai's wife. If you need anything, feel free to buy it. Don't worry, it's guaranteed to be cheap and of good quality, no worse than big department stores!"
