"Mom…" she said uneasily. Her voice was tiny, but a great improvement nonetheless.
Mama Lei heard it too.
Mama Lei touched Yi Ling's short hair. "We are family now. Don't worry, Mom and Dad are both open-minded. We didn't have a girl in the Lei Family, but you will be our daughter from now on."
"What about me?" asked Lei Qingyi, pointing to himself. If the daughter-in-law becomes a daughter, what happens to the son?
Mama Lei shot him a look. "Who cares about a brute like you? You can be our son-in-law."
Yi Ling chuckled. Initially, she was afraid that Lei Qingyi's parents would be hard to get along with, but it seemed like her concern was unnecessary. They were indeed good folks.
Mama Lei and Papa Lei both treated Yi Ling like their own daughter. Anything good, they kept it for her. The way they treated their son paled in comparison.
Like what Mama Lei said, "Who cares about a brute like you?" Keeping him fed was enough.
