This made Granny Hua furious. 'I've already done so much, and you still need me to light the fire while you cook?'
But before she could say anything, she heard Meizi call out, "I'm busy flipping pancakes and don't have a free hand! Hurry up, Mother—"
The moment Granny Hua heard about the pancakes, her stomach started to growl. She had been working nonstop all morning, doing so many things. When had she ever been this busy?
So, she didn't have the energy to bicker with Meizi about who had done more work and just went into the kitchen to help with the fire.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law worked together to make a meal. By the time Li Changming, his father, and his brother returned home, Meizi was already urging Granny Hua to bring the dishes to the table.
Li Changming saw the steaming hot dishes on the table, then looked at Meizi's slightly disheveled appearance. He couldn't help but glance at his own mother—she didn't look too energetic either.
