Su's mother could only shake her head helplessly, sit down alone, and eat breakfast in silence.

For someone who has gone through difficult times, Ran He's habit of eating meat every day is indeed hard to accept.

However, she also knew that Ran He was an adult and that she would have to live her life her own way.

A moment later, the two little grandsons, Dabao and Xiaobao, also woke up, rubbing their eyes. Their arrival immediately made Su's mother's heart unusually soft, and the indescribable sense of closeness between the grandparents and grandchildren instantly spread.

Especially the appearance of these two little guys, they are almost replicas of young Ran He. Their innocent, soft and cute appearance is like a gentle key, quietly opening the door to the good times in Su's mother's memory.

"Come, come, let grandma scoop out some delicious fermented glutinous rice wine eggs for you to eat."

Su's mother's voice was full of love.

Dabao and Xiaobao knew that their mother had the habit of preparing breakfast for them, and she always did so on weekdays.

And today, the breakfast brought by grandma herself added a special meaning to them.

Just as they were enjoying the delicious food with their bowls in hand, Ran Ping and Wang Hong also walked out of the bedroom with sleepy eyes. Their first task in the morning was naturally to go to the kitchen which was filled with fragrant smells.

Seeing the crystal clear egg in Dabao and Xiaobao's bowl, they showed a bit of disappointment on their faces. They hurriedly ran to the pot to check, and were relieved when they found that there were still a few eggs left in the pot.

Su Hong quickly scooped two eggs for herself and only scooped one for Ran Ping. In the blink of an eye, the eggs were distributed.

None of this escaped Su's mother's eyes.

She spoke up to stop them: "Yueyue said before she left that each person could only eat one egg. How could you eat two?"

Wang Hong was slightly startled when she heard this. She thought that the remaining eggs should naturally be shared by her and Ran Ping, but she didn't expect that each person had a fixed quota.

In her opinion, Ran He's behavior was too stingy.

She didn't realize that in the Su family, eggs had become a luxury to some extent, and it was not easy for everyone to get one.

Although she was unwilling, Wang Hong still reluctantly put one of the eggs back into the pot after Ran He's previous warning. She added some more glutinous rice balls instead, trying to make her bowl look fuller, even to the point that it was almost overflowing from the edge of the bowl.

After assigning food to the children, Su's mother prepared another breakfast for Wu Xu, planning to have the children deliver it to his room personally after they finished their meal.

After all, that is a son-in-law's private space. As a mother-in-law, it is not right for her to come in and disturb him at will.

Letting the grandchildren do it is undoubtedly the most appropriate arrangement.

Dabao and Xiaobao swallowed the eggs in just a few gulps. They no longer had the look of chewing them slowly and cherishing them as before. For them, eating eggs every day is as common as drinking water.

Wang Hong, who was standing by, was extremely jealous. She lowered her voice and grumbled in dissatisfaction: "How can these little guys appreciate the deliciousness of eggs? It's such a waste to give them to them. We, the hard-working adults, should eat more."

Her words revealed her unwillingness and dissatisfaction with the current situation.

Mother Su's ears were extremely sensitive, and even the slightest words could hardly escape her detection.

In the past, small disputes between her and Ran He could be laughed off, but now, even the two young children have become the objects of her criticism. Where is the tolerance and kindness that an elder should have?

When Ran Ping saw this, a hint of displeasure quietly gathered between his brows.

Although his voice was calm and without any anger, every word he spoke was sincere, as if he was inadvertently reminding Wang Hong: "These are all eggs from my sister's family. Her own children are not willing to eat more than one bite, so how can others judge them? We are here just as guests, and we will accept whatever your sister prepares for us with gratitude. As for what you said, 'those who work should eat more', has anyone seen you really do any heavy work in the two days since you came here? You haven't eaten less of the meat on the table."

Ran Ping's words of truth were not sharp, but because of their truthfulness they were particularly harsh and touched people's hearts.

Wang Hong's face flushed with anger. She pushed Ran Ping impulsively and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Seeing that things were not going well, Mother Su quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, stop arguing. If you continue to make a scene, pack up and go back to Fulin Village. Wang Hong, if Yueyue hears these words, I can't guarantee that you can continue to live here."

Wang Hong's body trembled involuntarily. A voice deep in her heart whispered to her that Ran He was not a man who would keep his word. If she angered him and kicked him out, there would be no way to save him.

However, Ran He was not present at this moment, which made Wang Hong feel that Su's mother was taking advantage of the situation to retaliate against her.

"Mother, it's fine if Ran He doesn't like me, but I'm your daughter-in-law and I'm going to accompany you for the rest of your life. If you don't treat me well, I may not treat you well in return when you're old and need someone to take care of you. Do you still expect the two married daughters to come back and serve you? Besides, if you really divorce me, can Cheng'er easily marry another wife?"

Wang Hong seemed to have grasped some kind of logic, and her words were surprisingly clear and logical. In the end, even she was convinced by her words.

If Mother Su had not known Wang Hong's character well, she would have been frightened by this sudden remark.

If you think about it carefully, even if there is no Ran He factor, it is nothing short of a fantasy to imagine that a selfish person like Wang Hong would take on the responsibility of caring for the elderly.

"I'm too lazy to get involved in these household affairs. Whether your relationship is good or bad, you should solve it yourselves. I'm just reminding you to be restrained in your actions in the future. When you live under someone else's roof, you should behave like a guest. If you do this again next time, I won't stop you and will tell Ran He everything you said. By then, you must be prepared to face her anger."

After saying that, Mother Su led the children outside. There seemed to be an indescribable depression lingering in the air, which made people feel suffocated.

Wang Hong's face was twisted with anger, and all her emotions that had nowhere to vent were transferred to Ran Ping.

"You coward, you didn't even dare to say a word when my mother blamed me? Were you planning to divorce me a long time ago?"

This made no sense. Ran Ping hadn't said anything from beginning to end, but now he had inexplicably become her emotional trash can and had to bear this false accusation. He could only sigh deeply.

"I don't have such thoughts, but you should really listen to what mother said. If we really offend our eldest sister, it might be a good choice for us to take the initiative to return to Fulin Village. There, you can do whatever you want."

Ran Ping's words contained helplessness, as well as a hint of self-reflection for Wang Hong.
