I insist

Chapter 12: Making Dumplings

"That's natural!"

Having been oppressed for many years, Tian subconsciously became subservient to Song Miqiu.

Song Miqiu did not refute it. Sometimes, dealing with such weak people is more effective when you are assertive.

At least now, Tian can listen to me quietly instead of trembling with fear and begging for mercy on her knees.

“I hit my head, but instead of making me stupid, it suddenly made me see through many things. Yumei, you are a good child. I was wrong before and always had prejudice against you. I am sorry. If you feel scared by your recent attitude, then I can apologize to you.”

"However, I really want to treat you better and make up for the mistakes I made before. You've really had a hard time these past years. Thank you for always being tolerant of me, your mother-in-law, and for taking care of that good-for-nothing boy, Tianlei."

"Mother! You absolutely mustn't say that!"

Tian Yumei never expected to hear such words from her mother-in-law.

I couldn't tell if I was scared or happy. It felt like I was having a beautiful dream, making me feel dizzy and lightheaded!

To show Tian that she was serious, Song Miqiu even put down the dumpling wrappers in her hand, wiped her hands clean, and looked Tian in the eye.

Despite her wrinkled face, Tian had the illusion that her mother-in-law looked decades younger.

It seems that it's not my mother-in-law who needs to get her head checked, but myself.

Song Miqiu didn't expect that Tian would trust her immediately, given her personality. For now, she just needed Tian to relax her mind about her.

She genuinely liked Ms. Tian.

For some reason, Tian Yumei suddenly understood and her eyes welled up with tears.

“Mother-in-law, you don’t need to say that. Whether in the past or now, what I’ve done is what a daughter-in-law should do. How can it be considered hard or not?”

Song Miqiu didn't say anything, but patted Tian Yumei on the shoulder.

To be honest, her hands and her face are really quite different! If she didn't already know the truth, she would really doubt whether there was something wrong with her.

After that, Tian didn't say anything more and quietly wrapped dumplings, doing it quite well.

"Mom! It looks so beautiful!"

Tian Yumei smiled as she looked at their work.

This was the first time she had ever cooked a meal with her mother-in-law like this.

The dumplings look beautiful, and so does my mother-in-law.

Song Miqiu smiled too.

She hasn't had dumplings in ages!

"Go and cook the rest of these, and I'll go and give some to... to the person Tianlei brought back."

"Okay, Mom, remember to come and eat with us."

Song Miqiu nodded, served a separate portion of the cooked dumplings. They didn't have many plates, and the one Song Miqiu found was relatively new, so she took it to Yu Huailin.

Yu Huailin ate elegantly, but at a surprisingly fast pace.

Song Miqiu felt that this was the first time she had ever seen someone eat in such a pleasing manner.

However, it didn't fit in with their remote village.

"who are you?"

Yu Huailin did not answer immediately. Only after he had swallowed everything in his mouth did he look at the person in front of him.

Does it matter who I am?

Got it!

Since they don't want to talk about it, then forget it!

Song Miqiu was not one to pry into things, especially from strangers he didn't know.
