The couple quickly prepared the meal, and the steamed buns were already made beforehand, so it didn’t take long for them to be steamed.

Qin Xue placed the cooked dishes one by one on the table: spicy chicken, steamed fish, stir-fried tofu with chili, hot and sour shredded potatoes, stir-fried vegetables, and tomato egg soup.

Nangong Shulan and Qin Yu watched the dishes on the table in amazement, thinking that the meal was too lavish.

“Sis, Brother-in-law, why did you cook so many dishes?” Qin Yu asked Qin Xue and Chu Molin while swallowing his saliva and staring at the delicious food.

“Yeah, Qin Xue. Are you planning to eat all of this at once?” Nangong Shulan looked at the food with concern, thinking that the young couple didn’t know how to live frugally.

“No, Mom, Xue’er knew you were coming, so she specially bought these ingredients and wanted to cook a nice meal for you.

She’s always said that she has never cooked a meal for her family before.

Just enjoy the meal, and don’t worry about us. I won’t let Xue’er and the child go hungry,” Chu Molin understood his mother-in-law’s concerns.

He reassured her, otherwise, she might think that this one meal could consume all their food and leave them destitute.

“Molin, you shouldn’t spoil Qin Xue like this. Why don’t you advise her more?” Nangong Shulan recalled how Qin Xue was pampered at home.

Now that she was married, she was part of her husband’s family, and if she continued to be pampered, her life would be very difficult there.

“Mom, it’s really fine. Xue’er is just trying to show her filial piety towards you, and that’s only right.

Since I’m usually busy with training and don’t have time to take her to see you, it’s already unfilial of us.

Now that you’ve come all this way to see us, we feel even more guilty.

We couldn’t possibly skimp on the food for you, and besides, we can afford this little bit of food.

Don’t worry, this won’t impoverish us. As long as you’re all well, Xue’er and I can be at ease,” Chu Molin, who usually didn’t speak much except when with Qin Xue, spoke at length this time to reassure his mother-in-law and brother-in-law.

“That’s right, Mom. I can earn money now, and there’s also Molin’s salary. We won’t live in hardship.

Please, don’t worry about us. We’re doing just fine. Just focus on your own lives; enjoy food and drinks when you can, and don’t be afraid to spend money when necessary,” Qin Xue’s heart felt heavy.

These hard times forced people to worry so much about something as simple as a meal, and her mother’s selfless love was something she had never experienced before in her previous life.

When she heard Nangong Shulan’s words, although there was some complaint about their lack of frugality, she knew it really stemmed from their concern for their future.

“Alright, I can’t argue with you two. Let’s sit down and eat before it gets cold,” Nangong Shulan gave in and decided to trust their words for now.

“Come on, Mom, have a piece of fish,” Qin Xue picked out a tender piece of fish with few bones for Nangong Shulan.

“Xiao Yu, can you eat spicy food? Try this piece of chicken,” Qin Xue also gave Qin Yu a piece of chicken.

She wasn’t sure if Qin Yu could handle spicy food, so she asked while already placing a piece of spicy chicken in his bowl.

After serving Qin Yu and her husband, Qin Xue finally lowered her head to eat her own meal.

Seeing the fish and meat in her bowl, she knew who had put them there.

She raised her head and smiled sweetly at Chu Molin before digging in.

Chu Molin began eating after seeing Qin Xue start her meal.

Nangong Shulan felt much more relieved as she observed their interactions.

Thankfully, they had chosen a good son-in-law, and as long as her eldest daughter was happy, nothing else mattered..
