Mrs. Gao went to her daughter’s room.
"Lan! Seeing as Yao Hui has moved in, why don’t we go ahead and get his household registration transferred over? That way, he can switch schools and start studying here after the New Year."
She peeked at her daughter’s expression before adding, "It has to be done sooner or later anyway. Besides, I just asked Yao Hui, and he said he’s adjusting very well here!"
"And I think he should stop calling him ’Uncle.’ When Wenzhe gets back, Yao Hui should just start calling him ’Dad’."
Gao Lan thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright. I’ll talk to Wenzhe about it when he gets home."
Mrs. Gao was overjoyed to hear this.
"What do you want for lunch? How about I stew a chicken for you?"
She had seen two chickens cooped up in the yard, obviously meant for helping her daughter recuperate.
’Might as well eat them now,’ she thought.
"Okay." They hadn’t butchered a chicken yesterday because they had just moved in, so having stewed chicken today sounded fine.
"By the way, why didn’t your mother-in-law come today?"
It wasn’t that she actually wanted to see Qin Wenze’s mother. Every time she saw her well-dressed counterpart...
...she always felt inferior.
But the woman knew she was here to help her daughter recover, yet her counterpart hadn’t bothered to show up.
It left a sour taste in her mouth.
’Is she looking down on me?’
’Not even bothering to visit?’
"Wenzhe said he heard she went to the Forbidden City with his sister-in-law and her family today."
"What? Sightseeing?" Mrs. Gao was displeased. "She—she certainly has the time for that."
What also irked her was that they were both mothers-in-law to the Qin sons.
’So why the difference in treatment?’
’Hmph. Why didn’t they invite her to go with them?’
Hearing her mother’s passive-aggressive remarks, Gao Lan felt a sense of unease as well.
