Then she quickly wiped away her tears, fearing people might think her mother-in-law had scolded her.
"Mom, thank you, I'm fine."
"Good."
As expected, dinner was ready when she got home. Shen Yiyue and her sister had also gone back to school, but they would return for their mid-day and evening meals.
"Mom, why so early today?" Shen Yixiang asked. The Shen family usually ate dinner around seven.
Shen Yidong took a bite of preserved meat and chewed before she said, "All because of you grand dames, strutting around like lords, expect food right when you get back."
Shen Yixiang grinned and said, "Mom loves me best!"
Shen Yidong rolled her eyes and glanced at Yang PeiMin, speaking with her mouth full, "Don't flatter yourself, you should thank me too, I helped cook."
Yang PeiMin smiled and said, "Thank you, Fourth Sister. We owe it to you all. Just be careful not to overwork yourself, you're with child."
