Chapter 99: The Prodigal Daughter-in-law - The Sickly Sister-in-law’s Daily Gossip Session in the Courtyard

In the afternoon, Lin Qing felt utterly lazy and didn’t want to get out of her cozy bed.

She had slept for an especially long time, and in another hour, Cen Xi would be off work!

After checking the time, Lin Qing realized time had flown by!

She got out of bed and moved to the outer room, where she lay down on a recliner again!

Alas, tomorrow she would have to report for work, and these carefree days would be gone for good!

Of course, compared to lying around at home every day, she actually preferred going to work to kill time!

Plus, she would get paid for working. Why wouldn’t she be happy about it?

She flipped through the comic book in her hand and thought about how her parents didn’t know about her being selected yet. She needed to find time to go back and tell them the good news!

Hmm~ How about this afternoon?

When Cen Xi got back in the afternoon, Lin Qing told him the good news about her selection.

“I went to see it too, congratulations! Qing Qing! I knew you’d make it!”

A smile involuntarily spread across Lin Qing’s face.

“Let’s head home later and tell our parents the good news!”

“Sure!” It was still early, and they had a bicycle at home, so it wouldn’t be a problem even if they were a bit late.

Then, Lin Qing packed up the things to bring back to her parents' house, and by the time she came out, she had several big bags.

Lin Qing didn’t say anything else, and he took the big bags from her.

“Let me do it!” He didn’t mind at all that his wife was bringing big bags of stuff to her parents' house.

After all, there were only the two of them at home, and they both had the right to decide about anything in the house. Plus, it was their duty to take care of her parents!

After they were ready, they locked the doors and windows and headed out with the bike.

At that moment, Mother Gu and Mother Jiang were both by the window, waiting for their sons to come home, and happened to see this.

“Pfft, what a prodigal daughter-in-law!”

All she does is take from her in-laws and give to her natal family. If my daughter-in-law dared to do that, I’d slap her silly!

Both Mother Gu and Mother Jiang thought this simultaneously, and at the same time, they both gave sharp looks at Jiang Da Sao and Jiang Li, who were busy at the stove.

Mother Jiang even directly warned, “If you dare to act like that little tramp and bring big bags of stuff back to your natal family, you can just get out and go back to your parents' house!”

Jiang Da Sao, who was stoking the fire at the stove, curled her lips. “Mom, what’s the point of warning me? Have I ever done this in all these years?”

Besides, our family wasn’t rich enough to let me bring big bags of stuff back to my parents' house.

If we were really that wealthy, I wouldn’t get scolded by my parents every time I went back.

Mother Jiang was even angrier that Jiang Da Sao dared to talk back to her.

Perhaps sensing something, Jiang Da Sao quickly diverted the blame. “Mom, if you’re going to scold someone, scold your daughter-in-law! Lin Qing is her husband’s younger sister. Maybe this habit of being extravagant is hereditary!”

She successfully diverted the blame, and Mother Jiang suddenly felt that what she said was very reasonable!

Lin Shu and Lin Qing come from the same ancestor, so they might be similar in this aspect!

After thinking about it, she wanted to warn Lin Shu, but Lin Shu was still immersed in the sadness of not being selected and was hiding in her room!

"Lin Shu, come out! Get out here!" Unfortunately, no matter how hard Mother Jiang called, there was no response from inside!

Mother Jiang couldn't even find anyone to scold!

Meanwhile, Cen Xi and Lin Qing left the yard and quickly rode away on their bikes, completely unaware of what had happened back there.

"Nuan'nuan, why are you and your husband back?" Lin Shu’s father asked, somewhat surprised.

"We missed you, so we came back to see you. Is that alright?" Lin Qing, acting all cute, said to her father.

"Yes, yes, of course it's alright!" Lin Father was so happy that he could barely contain his joy!

Lin Mother was cooking in the kitchen and rushed out when she heard the commotion outside!

"Nuan'nuan."

"Ma—"

"Why are you two back so suddenly?" Lin Mother looked puzzled!

"Hehe, we came back to tell you some good news!" Lin Qing, acting all cute, ran up to her father, while Cen Xi followed behind her, putting down the big and small bags he was carrying.

"What good news?" Lin Father asked.

Compared to Lin Father’s carelessness, Lin Mother immediately thought of the recruitment exam their daughter was about to take!

"Nuan'nuan, is it? Did you pass your recruitment exam?" A glimmer of hope rose in Lin Mother’s heart.

Lin Father, hearing his wife's words, immediately understood and, because he had listened carefully before, was in disbelief, "Did you really pass?"

"Yes, I passed." Lin Qing tried to say it calmly, but couldn’t help smiling!

"This is wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!" Lin Father and Lin Mother exclaimed.

"Nuan'nuan, you finally have a job! This is great news!" Lin Father’s long-suspended heart finally relaxed, and his guilt and self-blame lessened a lot!

"I'll make a few more dishes; let's celebrate tonight with a nice meal!"

"Ma, let me help you." Cen Xi immediately followed into the kitchen!

"No, no, it's okay. You can just wait in the living room!" Lin Mother quickly refused.

"How can I just sit by? These are simple tasks; let me help you!" Cen Xi insisted on going in to help.

Before going in, he even took out a small bag of dried fish from the bags they had brought earlier!

The dried fish was given by his elder brother when they got married. It would be nice to add it as an extra dish!

Because of Cen Xi’s insistence, he went in to help with the preparations.

The living room was left to Lin Qing and her father.

"Nuan'nuan, since you’ve passed, when will you start work?"

"I can start working after finishing the procedures tomorrow! I was afraid I wouldn't have time, so I came back today as soon as the results were out and Brother Nan came back together to tell you this good news."

"Good, good, good!" Father Lin was genuinely happy for his daughter!

Mother Lin and Cen Xi worked very quickly; even though they added a few more dishes, they still ate dinner at the usual time!

"Wow, it smells so good!" Lin Qing, following the aroma, arrived at the dining table.

Father Lin couldn't help but nod his head. Nuan'nuan was still our little Nuan'nuan. It seemed she was living a happy married life while still keeping her old self, and he was becoming more and more satisfied with Cen Xi as his son-in-law!

When Cen Xi was carrying out the last dish, he saw Father Lin looking at him with great satisfaction. He assumed it was because he had diligently gone to the kitchen to help!
