You relax, don’t hurry. Your dad and I are both well, we can definitely help out if needed.” Mrs. Qin taking over the cooking for her youngest son was merely an added task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, they both had to eat, getting one additional portion ready only required an extra pair of chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Mrs. Qin agreed very readily, which also relieved her daughter-in-law of her worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A win-win situation was always welcomed by Mrs. Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, thank you, mum!” Nangong Shulan was genuinely grateful to her mother-in-law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, it would’ve been tough for her to go see her daughter and leave the household matters behind. In that case, she wouldn’t have peace of mind. Her mother-in-law’s assistance was a boon, at least she did not have to worry about the house anymore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if her husband couldn’t manage to cook, there would be someone to take care of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do we need to say so much between us? As long as all of you are fine, your dad and I will be relieved.” Mrs Qin has walked in the shoes of a daughter-in-law before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew that it wasn’t easy to be a daughter-in-law, so she didn’t want her daughter-in-law to have as hard a time as she had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mm, I understand.” Nangong Shulan nodded in response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Go check if Qin Lei has finished grinding the green balls. If they’re done, bring them here to be made.” Mrs. Qin planned on helping out to speed up the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, I’ll go have a look.” Nangong Shulan got up and headed towards the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Qin turned her gaze to the delightful chess game unfolding between her husband and grandson.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She picked up her floral tea and took a sip to moisten her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Shulan entered the living room with Qin Jiale’s clean dish cover in her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Qin and Qin Yu, on the other hand, brought in the ground green balls and the roasted glutinous rice flour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The green balls should ideally be eaten as soon as they’re made to prevent them from sticking together, but these were going to Qin Xue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, to prevent them from sticking together while transporting, they roasted the glutinous rice flour, rolled the dough balls in it after forming them, and they wouldn’t stick together any longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the saying ‘many hands make light work’, the four of them quickly finished making a big pot of green balls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Shulan found some banana leaves and carefully packed the green balls layer by layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She packed a small bag for her mother-in-law and father-in-law, reserved some for their daughter, and the rest was packed for Qin Xue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Yu picked up a green ball and tasted it. The texture was great, full of chewiness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then stuffed another into Qin Jiale’s mouth and passed one to his grandpa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nangong Shulan saw this and shook her head, picked up a plate, put a round of green balls on it, and placed it on the chess-playing table for the grandfather-grandson duo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also placed some tea on the table. Now they could enjoy their chess game and having refreshments at the same time, quite cosy and carefree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the green balls were ready, Mr. Qin and Nangong Shulan went to the kitchen to cook mung bean cake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My child’s father, I won’t be home when I go to see Qin Xue. Please don’t work too hard, you should rest more.” Nangong Shulan didn’t want her kind husband to exhaust himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I will be fine, I know my limits.” Qin Lei replied smilingly to his wife.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are the pillar of our family. We all depend on you.” Nangong Shulan was well aware of Qin Lei’s temperament.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can rest assured, I will get sufficient rest. I have to see Xiao Yu getting married.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also Jiale, I need to earn money for her college too, so I will take care of myself. I won’t let you worry about me.” Qin Lei assured his beloved wife tenderly..\u003C\u002Fp>",742,"2026-06-03T08:39:00.678Z",1,"novelbin.me","e179aac8bba3395546da36e96deb41ba10edc4bd46893ef77dabca79d14022dd","reborn-in-the-eighties-as-a-housewife-with-a-spa-chapter-257","reborn-in-the-eighties-as-a-housewife-with-a-spa-chapter-255",2818,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-in-the-eighties-as-a-housewife-with-a-spa-cover.jpg"]
