Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!

860 I Will Always Side With You

“But she’s an exception! Before you came to our house, Yun Gang was still a small official. However, his wife was still helping her husband and raising her children!”

For a moment, Ma Yan was envious of Chen Li. However, the deep-rooted thoughts in her heart were still convincing her to find other examples to support her words. There was nothing wrong with it.

“I don’t care about other people’s business! Since you’re already married into my family, you should quit your current job and stay here with me to help your husband and raise our children.” Ma Yan clearly expressed her attitude.

“Impossible! I can help to take care of the elderly and children, but I can’t quit my job.” Luo Chen also had her own attitude.

“You! You!” Ma Yan did not expect that this new generation of young people did not know how to be respectful to their mother-in-law.

“Why did our family get a daughter-in-law like you? If you don’t listen to your mother-in-law, do you want to anger me to death?”

When Ma Yan was young and a daughter-in-law, she had often endured Old Madam Yun. Now that she had finally become a mother-in-law, she could finally treat her daughter-in-law the way she was treated.

However, she did not expect that in the end, the one who suffered was her own generation. She could not win against her in-laws at the top and her daughter-in-law at the bottom.

The two’s quarrels in the kitchen gradually grew louder. Yun Qiao also heard the noise in the kitchen, so she quickly put on her slippers and ran over.

“What’s wrong?” Yun Qiao had come in such a hurry that she did not even notice that she had put on her slippers inside out.

“It’s nothing!” Luo Chen did not want to make a big deal out of this.

“What else could it be? I’m naturally doing this for the good of our family!” Ma Yan’s voice started to sound a little weird.

“I just thought that you’re very tired from work, and it’s not convenient for a woman to show her face in public after marriage, so I wanted her to stay at home and take care of the house with me! But Luo Chen wouldn’t agree to it no matter what!” Ma Yan felt like she was complaining to her son.

“Mom! Luo Chen’s position in the army is higher than mine, so she can play a bigger role than me. If we force her to resign, it will affect many soldiers and even many important matters in the army.”

Yun Qiao wanted to use his position to suppress Ma Yan.

“So what? Look at how outstanding you are. You’ve been promoted twice in a row in such a short time. Sooner or later, you’ll become a high-ranking official. Your official position will surpass Luo Chen’s sooner or later.” Ma Yan had a mysterious confidence in Yun Qiao.

“If that’s what you think, then I’ll wait until my official position is higher than Luo Chen’s, then I’ll let her go resign!”

Yun Qiao had grown up with Ma Yan. He knew that when Ma Yan was making a scene, he should not argue with her. The best way was to rebut her and make her shut up.

“You…” Ma Yan really did not know what to say.

“You two, hurry up and wrap these dumplings. I’ll go to the Old Madam’s place and see if there’s anything I can help with!” Ma Yan wanted to give herself a way out.

After Ma Yan left the kitchen, Luo Chen looked at Yun Qiao and asked, “Do you really have the same opinion as your mother? When my position is lower than yours, would you want me to resign and go home to take care of the family matters?”

“Of course not!”

“I’ll support you no matter what you want to do! What I said just now was just to shut my mom’s mouth! She’s always so emotional, so maybe she’ll forget about this after a while!”

Luo Chen heaved a sigh of relief after hearing Yun Qiao’s words.

“Don’t worry, even if she doesn’t agree, I’ll find a way to make her agree to let you continue working! Besides, my official position will never surpass yours, whether in the army or at home!”

Yun Qiao, who used to be so dull, now knew how to whisper sweet nothings.

Yun Qiao hugged Luo Chen from behind and started to roll out the dumpling skin for her.

It was a heartwarming scene in the kitchen.
