"it is good."

Shen Jinglan picked up the malted milk powder and slowly drank it. To be honest, this was the first time in so many years that she had drunk malted milk powder prepared by her family when she returned to her husband's family home.

Li Ping was taken aback; she had thought her fifth sister-in-law would suggest going to the kitchen with her to help.

After all, when they came back before, my fifth sister-in-law always volunteered to do the chores.

Why is it different from what I expected?

However, remembering that she needed to ask for a favor, her smile froze for a moment before she smiled and went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes.

Seeing that she was just sitting on the sofa doing nothing, Song's mother felt a little angry.

"Why don't you go and help your sister-in-law?"

Song's mother didn't like her, and she wasn't satisfied when Song Yiran was dating her.

Even though they have been married for several years and have two children, Song's mother still doesn't like her.

So I couldn't stand seeing her sitting there so comfortably waiting for food.

Shen Jinglan glanced at Song's mother, "Mom, I just got back this time, and you won't even let me rest for a bit?"

In the past, Shen Jinglan might have gone, but now she really doesn't want to go and is too lazy to indulge them.

Song's mother never expected that her daughter would dare to talk back now.

He immediately became furious.

"Is this how you talk to your elders? I'm your mother-in-law, can't I even say a few words to you?"

"I was just talking normally, Mom. If you don't like me, I'll take the kids and leave right now."

Do you really think she wanted to come back?

When I get back, I still have to listen to her nagging; there's never a moment of peace after I return.

If it weren't for Song Yiran's sake, Shen Jinglan really wouldn't want to come back.

"What? I said something to you and you think I'm wrong? I asked you to bring the kids back to live with us, but you insisted on taking the kids back to your sister's house. What will the neighbors think of our family if you do this?"

Song's mother is still angry about this matter.

"Then tell me, where will I stay when I come back with the children? Have you made room for our family or are you planning to let us continue to sleep in the living room?"

It would have been better if she hadn't brought it up; the moment she did, Shen Jinglan became even angrier than she had.

Whose daughter-in-law, husband, and children sleep in the living room when they come home?

Since that's the case, the reason we still asked her to bring the child back is just for her so-called face.

Sorry, she won't tolerate that.

What does her reputation have to do with her?

These questions left Song's mother speechless.

"Mom, you're just being unreasonable. I live at my sister's house, and the kids have their own rooms. I don't have to sleep in the living room with them. If you were in my shoes, would you be willing to sleep in this cramped living room with your kids?"

Song's mother remained silent, but her expression was extremely unpleasant.

Later, Li Ping heard the commotion and came out to pull Song's mother away. Otherwise, if Song's mother continued talking, she might really anger her and leave.

She still had something she wanted to ask her fifth sister-in-law.

After Song's mother left, Shen Jinglan drank the malted milk powder in her hand with a clear conscience.

At lunchtime, the children who were playing outside came back, but Song's father and his two older brothers ate at the factory and did not come back.

Song Yunyue did come back. She didn't want to come back in the first place. If Li Ping hadn't told her in advance that she would find her a stable job, she would still be out having fun with her friends right now.

"Yunyue, quickly call Fifth Aunt."

When Li Ping saw her return from outside, she quickly pulled her over.

Song Yunyue glanced at Shen Jinglan and casually greeted, "Hello, Fifth Aunt."

Then she sat down in the nearest seat, crossed one leg, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating meat.

Seeing her like this, Li Ping felt a little disappointed and frustrated.

"Fifth sister-in-law, please don't mind. I've spoiled Yunyue."

Shen Jinglan simply hummed in response and didn't say anything.

Then I sat down with the child and we started eating.

"Fifth sister-in-law, eat more. I bought this meat early this morning; it's fresh pork." Li Ping used her chopsticks to put a piece of chicken into her bowl.

Shen Jinglan glanced at the braised pork in the bowl and said, "Thank you, sister-in-law. Please eat too. I'll pick out whatever I want to eat myself."

She also served food to the children. The children and their cousins, who usually didn't talk much, just focused on eating.

When they were halfway through the meal, Li Ping asked Shen Jinglan, "Jinglan, didn't you say before that your sister owns several shops?"

Shen Jinglan knew she must have something to do, and that's why she came.

She looked up at her sister-in-law and asked, "Why are you asking this, sister-in-law?"

"Look, Yunyue is seventeen and doesn't have a job. Why don't you ask your sister if she can arrange a job for Yunyue at the store?"

Upon hearing her mother's words, Song Yunyue paused for a moment, glancing at her fifth aunt, before continuing to eat on her own.

Seeing her like this, Li Ping was furious and quickly pulled her aside.

As a result, the braised pork that Song Yunyue had just picked up fell back onto the plate.

She glared at her mother, annoyed. "Mom, what are you doing?"

"You child, all you ever do is eat."

Li Ping smiled and said to Shen Jinglan, "Fifth sister-in-law, don't worry about it. Yunyue is a very capable girl. You can talk to your sister and ask her to find her a job."

"If this works out, Yunyue will definitely not forget you, her fifth aunt."

Song Yunyue scoffed lightly, thinking that her mother was really going all out.

She was 100% certain that this was a dead end.

So she didn't say anything, but continued eating the food in her bowl.

"Sister-in-law, you really think too highly of me. I never interfere with or ask about things at my sister's shop. Besides, my sister's shop doesn't need any more staff, so I'm afraid I can't help with this."

What a joke! She had heard of Song Yunyue, even though she wasn't often in Beijing.

She often goes out and hangs out with shady characters, and she even beats people up. And what's with the clothes she's wearing and the dye she's doing? How could she possibly get a job at her sister's shop with someone like that?

"How could I not help? You're your sister's sister. Go and talk to her nicely, and she'll definitely agree. Fifth sister-in-law, Yunyue is your niece, you have to help her."

Li Ping was anxious. If it weren't for the fact that jobs were hard to find these days, and that all the jobs he had previously found had been ruined by Song Yunyue, he wouldn't want to lower himself to beg others.

"Sister-in-law, I really can't help with this. Besides, it's easy to find a job these days. Aren't there many jobs in places like Guangzhou and Shenzhen? I heard that they provide room and board and the wages are pretty good."

Shen Jinglan didn't want to cause trouble for her sister. If Song Yunyue were a good and polite person, she might help her out, but she wasn't. She was just imitating the ways of thugs. What would happen if she went to her sister's shop?
