Chapter 287 - People Really Change After Having a Wife
Panda Novel
In fact, it seemed like even this grandson of hers had to stand aside.
Old Madam waved Qiao Mianmian over again. “Mianmian, come quickly, Grandma wants to talk to you.”
“Oh, Grandma, I’m coming right now.”
Qiao Mianmian responded sweetly.
She took a seat beside Old Madam, a little embarrassed by this treatment.
Old Madam placed her hand over Qiao Mianmian’s the moment she sat down. “How was your nap? Do you feel alright resting here? Ah Si’s room is painted with such dark colors, I find it depressing. It’s hard on a young girl like you.”
“He should’ve let us know earlier that he was bringing you home. We could’ve prepared something.”
Old Madam glared at Mo Yesi as she said that. “Bringing your wife home is such an important matter, you should’ve called to inform us yesterday. If your mother hadn’t called you yesterday, would you have brought her back without prior notice?”
Mo Yesi was sitting beside Qiao Mianmian.
He glanced at the dinner table and picked up the ladle, scooping some soup into Qiao Mianmian’s bowl before the widened eyes of Old Madam and Madam Mo. It was black chicken and ginseng soup that had taken half a day to prepare.
“Have some soup first,” he said to Qiao Mianmian gently.
Only then did he smile at Old Madam. “Grandma, your grandson just wanted to give you a surprise.”
Old Madam went quiet for a while as she looked at the bowl of soup in front of Qiao Mianmian. She then sighed and appeared hurt. “People really change after having a wife. You know how to take care of others now.
“Besides this wife of his, even we haven’t received such treatment as his Mom and Grandma.”
Old Madam was just teasing him. She didn’t actually mind it.
But to Madam Mo, it was a different thing.
She recalled what Shen Rou had said to her earlier: It’d be scary if Mianmian means more to him than his own mother.
She hadn’t thought much about it then, but now that she saw what Mo Yesi did, her thoughts about it changed.
Instead of being happy that her son was doting on his wife, she felt uncomfortable instead.
As Old Madam said, even she hadn’t received such treatment from her son.
And yet this girl who’d barely known his son was an exception to him.
What’s more, her son did it willingly.
Madam Mo got angrier as she thought about it. She replied bitterly, “That’s right, I’ve never even had such treatment before. Sigh, as they say, a man forgets his mother when he has a wife. It’s true.”
Old Madam didn’t realize that Madam Mo was being sarcastic and hence played along as if she was teasing them. “Exactly. Back then, you and Yuncheng were just like that too. Yuncheng never did any chores in his life, but for you, he learned to cook and do the laundry. I was jealous too, and I even felt that I’d raised my son in vain.”
Madam Mo’s expression stiffened.
She didn’t expect Old Madam to tease her like that.
At that moment, she felt a little awkward.
