Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Daughter Good Chapter 416: Chapter 416: Daughter Good “Oh, so that’s why, but why is it called ‘Old Bai Family Spicy Hot Pot’?” The old lady felt a surge of irritation upon seeing that sign today. Her own son was the head of the household, and yet the name of the restaurant was not theirs.
The old lady felt stifled and uncomfortable not voicing this out.
Wang Yan immediately saw what his own mother was thinking.
“The reason it’s called ‘Old Bai Family Spicy Hot Pot’ is not only because the secret recipe comes from Bai Xiao, but also the money for opening the shop was put up by Bai Xiao. If we’re really talking about it, the shop isn’t even ours; it’s thanks to our sister-in-law’s generosity, she didn’t make a fuss with us. But as people, we should not forget favors and violate principles, right?
So, we discussed it and decided to call it the Old Bai Family to acknowledge that it’s my sister-in-law’s shop, and furthermore, we also agreed that half of the shop’s profits will go to my sister-in-law. To tell you the truth, we got something for nothing.
Without putting in money, without having the secret recipe, we just put in some effort and took away half of someone else’s earnings. So, shouldn’t we call it that name?”
The old lady blushed upon hearing this.
She had misunderstood, thinking her daughter-in-law was bullying her son by following her and running off alone with no one to look after them, treating her son like a son-in-law taken into the wife’s family.
She hadn’t realized that there was such a reason behind it.
Upon hearing this, her anger dissipated immediately.
She couldn’t help but feel grateful to Bai Xiao.
“Daughter-in-law, we really need to thank your sister. Although what I said earlier might have sounded harsh, I thought you were treating Wang Yan like a son-in-law taken into the wife’s family. I misunderstood the situation and just wanted to support my son. Now I know, we really owe your sister. Without your sister, you wouldn’t have what you have today.
You two did the right thing. From now on, I won’t interfere in your affairs. Rest assured, I came this time actually to take care of you. Honestly, it’s for my oldest grandson. I looked after the children of your second and third brothers-in-law, and as the wife of the eldest son, it’s both reasonable and natural for me to come.
Besides, you don’t have your own mother, so if I, as your mother-in-law, didn’t take care of you, that would be truly inexcusable. Your father-in-law is just stubborn, don’t mind him. You and Wang Yan should live your lives as you see fit.
Plus, now seeing how well off you are makes me feel warm inside.” The old lady was speaking from the bottom of her heart.
Bai Yue’s heart warmed. She was well aware of how her mother-in-law had treated her in the beginning. Having married Wang Yan and caused such an ugly scene with his family, she had never expected her in-laws to treat her with such kindness and good words.
But now that her mother-in-law was speaking so candidly, it showed that she had begun to accept her.
How could such a feeling not move someone’s heart?
“Mom, don’t worry, I will live a good life with Wang Yan.”
The old lady patted Bai Yue’s hand.
Wang Yan laughed, “Mom, I’m really looking forward to Bai Yue giving me a precious daughter. I especially adore having a daughter. Look at how my two brothers only have sons. If I have a daughter, our family would be blessed with a flower. That would be so cherished.” He was worried his mother was causing Bai Yue stress.
The old lady chuckled, glancing at Wang Yan, “If you had a daughter, what would you need a wife for? Yes, I am also looking forward to having a granddaughter. Granddaughters are great, just look at what a bunch of bald boys we have in the house. If I had a granddaughter, she would be so dear to me.”
The old lady was well aware that her son was trying to protect his wife.
Bai Yue smiled.
In that instant, it felt as though a weight had been lifted from her heart.
