Dining with elders inevitably means being encouraged to eat more.
At the restaurant, which was known for its soups, Lai Zhiyun ended up drinking three bowls, thanks to the enthusiastic endorsements of her mother-in-law and the two aunts.
Just after she was full, she felt the urgent call of nature and wanted to go to the restroom.
So she excused herself openly and walked out of the private room.
"This daughter-in-law of yours is really something, pretty and charming. She and Aliao make such an attractive couple; their kids are sure to be anything but ugly."
After Lai Zhiyun left, Sun Cuiqiao began to praise her appearance again.
"Of course! Who else would my daughter-in-law be?"
Luo Qiuyue said a bit proudly.
"That has little to do with you. It's your son who has good taste."
"My son is my own flesh and blood, how can you say he has little to do with me?" Luo Qiuyue argued earnestly.
