Chapter 783: Mrs. Jian's Menopause Has Finally Passed

Before going to her parents-in-law's house, Wan'er called the nannies and maternity matrons for the children together for an emergency meeting.

She demanded that the nannies take good care of the Baobao they were each responsible for and never leave their sides, especially when their grandmother was nearby; they had to be extra vigilant and could not be careless.

The nannies all indicated they understood and would strictly follow the Madam's instructions.

Then she had everyone discuss some details together to ensure everything was foolproof before they set off!

Her mother-in-law had an endless stream of tormenting tactics; she wasn't afraid of anything, but the children could not suffer even the slightest mishap.

Women are naturally weak, but mothers are strong.

……

At Jian Yixin's home.

The situation was much the same.

Although Moli was a bit older, Jian Yixin dared not let her guard down at all, fearing that if she looked away for even a second, her own mother would throw her adopted son out!

She wasn't being overly sensitive; such a situation might seem inconceivable to others, but it was all too normal for her own mother, and Lady Jian was indeed capable of doing such a thing.

The two of them returned with their respective worries, but also with the children.

After all, worry is worry, but things still couldn't be taken too far; not bringing the children back would be too obvious, and what would their father think?

"Mom, Dad, when did you get back? Why didn't you tell me in advance so I could go to the airport to pick you up!"

Seeing her mother, Jian Yixin was still very happy.

She greeted her affectionately and looked her over carefully: "Hmm, not bad, not bad, your complexion is very good. You shouldn't wear this color; change into something younger, and if we stand together, we won't look like mother and daughter at all, but like sisters."

Lady Jian chided: "You stinky girl, we haven't been in touch for months, and while I haven't seen any other skills grow, your flattery skills have certainly become formidable."

Although the tone was one of reproach, the corners of her eyes and brows still carried an undisguisable joy.

Only then did Jian Yixin realize that her mother had been away for months, and she truly hadn't taken the initiative to make a single phone call to check on her!

At the beginning, her mother would take the initiative to call and ask if she was doing well.

She would urge her not to just focus on work or just focus on her husband and children, but to also take good care of her own health.

Later, when she didn't take the initiative, her mother didn't call her either.

She didn't chase her down like before to ask—why didn't you call?

Do you find me annoying?

And having not been in touch for months, she actually hadn't felt there was anything improper about it, but now that she thought about it, she was the one in the wrong.

"I'm sorry, Mom, I..."

She didn't know how to go on; no matter what high-sounding excuses she had, not calling to check on her mother for the months she was away was just wrong!

Jian Yixin couldn't find a suitable excuse, but her mother took the initiative to give her a way out: "I was just teasing you; my phone didn't have a good signal while I was away, so I couldn't receive calls."

Jian Yixin, however, felt tears welling up in her eyes with emotion.

Was the familiar Mom back?

That's right, the Lady Jian of the past was just like this.

Although she was good to her own children, she also knew how to consider others' feelings and wouldn't just be unreasonable and make a scene.

Later, when menopause began, she became irrational, and then increasingly so.

Just when Jian Yixin thought her mother's menopause would never end, it seemed to have passed?

It was still a bit early to judge that her menopause had passed; it still required further observation.

Soon, Wan'er arrived in a grand procession with the children and the nannies, and as soon as she entered, she apologized: "I'm sorry, Mom, the children had a lot of things, so we're late. Please don't be angry."

"It's alright, come over and sit. Wan'er seems to have gained a little weight. This is a gift I brought for you; see if you like it?"

Wan'er:...

She thought to herself: Is this woman my mother-in-law?

No scolding, no cold shoulder.

No sarcastic, passive-aggressive remarks; she was actually smiling and very loving?

Had someone swapped her face?

But she didn't dare ask.

"Thank you, Mom."

Wan'er took the gift, and for the sake of politeness, opened it in front of her mother-in-law; she only had to look at it for a second before tears almost fell.

This gift was made with heart.

A hand-knitted Bulletproof Vest, knitted by her mother-in-law herself.

Her mother-in-law wasn't short of money; what she lacked was thoughtfulness.

And this Bulletproof Vest used the finest wool, with fine and neat knitting.

Her father-in-law explained with a chuckle from the side: "We went to a place near the Arctic; the cashmere there is truly good. Your mother-in-law bought several pounds and knitted whenever she had time, making one for each of you."

It wasn't just Wan'er and Jian Yixin who had them; the children had them too, along with full sets of little hats, socks, and gloves.

What surprised them both was—Moli had one too!

These were just the beginning, followed by a series of surprises.

Although Lady Jian wasn't exactly great to Moli, she called him her grandson every other word, and when she looked at him, her face carried a smile, not like before when she often used to squint at the child with a sidelong glance.

"Grandma, have a pear." A servant washed a large platter of fruit and placed it on the coffee table, and Moli picked the largest one to hand to his grandmother.

A child's heart is the purest; they don't hold grudges, they only know that if you are good to me, I will be good to you.

"Good, thank you, Baobao."

This was the first time Lady Jian looked at Moli directly, and she discovered that this child was actually quite good.

He had delicate features, and his eyes were as clear as water.

Moreover, there was a look of her daughter in his brows and eyes!

This is so magical; people say that a child grows up to look like whoever raised them, and it turns out to be true.

How could a child like this not be a good child?

In the past, she was blinded by prejudice and couldn't stand the sight of Sheng Moli at all.

Now that her mindset has been corrected, she realizes just how excessive she was before.

During the meal, Lady Jian took the initiative to ask Moli to sit next to her; she carefully peeled shrimp, dipped them in sauce, and placed them on the plate in front of Moli.

She even personally took a tissue to wipe the oil from the corner of Moli's mouth, which shocked Wan'er so much that her chopsticks fell to the floor.

Her mother-in-law didn't seem to be pretending; the tenderness in her eyes couldn't be faked.

Lady Jian noticed her daughter-in-law staring at her and smiled, explaining, "The three little girls are still young; when they grow up and can sit at the table to eat, I will treat them all the same."

Wan'er:...

Was she afraid that she would take offense?

She hurriedly explained, "Mom, I didn't mean that; I was just so surprised..." She didn't finish the rest of her sentence; it wouldn't be appropriate to say how excessive she used to be, right?

No matter what, Lady Jian had truly changed.

This time, it seemed like a transformation that was like being reborn.

It had been many years since the Jian Family had been this harmonious; the meal was very warm, and laughter could be heard from the dining room from time to time.

After the meal.

Lady Jian called her daughter and daughter-in-law to her side and took out several beautifully wrapped boxes: "These are gifts I'm sending to Shi Youxuan's family; which of you has the time to help me deliver them?"

Jian Yixin: "Mom, why don't you deliver them yourself?"

After saying this, she realized it was inappropriate and scratched her head, laughing.

Lady Jian was very direct: "I'm too embarrassed to go; I did many excessive things at the time, and I blush just thinking about it now. Their family isn't lacking these things, but it's a token of my sincerity."

Wan'er volunteered to take on the task: "I'll go; I'm the most suitable person to go."

She was the daughter-in-law of the Jian Family and also Shi Youxuan's younger sister; indeed, there was no one in the Jian Family more suitable than Wan'er to do this.
