Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

When Du Xiaojuan came out of the room again, she had already adjusted her mood; with a smile on her face she greeted everyone:

"Thanks for the trouble of coming all the way here, I've had the postpartum center prepare the family meals; in a bit everyone can have a taste!"

Seeing that Du Xiaojuan seemed to have changed into a different person, Wang Dashan couldn't help but be surprised in his heart — how did his Third Brother manage to make Du Xiaojuan change her state in such a short time?

Actually this credit isn't entirely Wang Xiaohua's; more of it is Du Xiaojuan's own inner toughness, and her powerful self-regulation ability.

She had already figured things out in her heart; with the knot untied, she naturally could face the matters before her with an active, optimistic attitude.

She wouldn't be like Wang Zhanggen, who pulls a long face whenever something happens, constantly giving people the cold shoulder.

If she were like Wang Zhanggen, she also couldn't have achieved her current accomplishments.

See, Du Xiaojuan has already completely switched faces, while Wang Zhanggen is still wearing a stinking expression!

"Eldest Sister-in-law, are you used to the food at this postpartum center?"

Li Jianjia took the initiative to come over and greet Du Xiaojuan.

Du Xiaojuan smiled and replied:

"It's alright; although it's light, the taste is still pretty good. The main thing is, this postpartum center is different from other postpartum centers — other centers' postpartum meals claim to be made according to the mother's needs, but actually they're uniform pre-made dishes; here everything is freshly cooked, every meal has surveillance video, traceable."

Li Jianjia said with a smile:

"That's great; the main thing is to nurse your body back to health!"

Wang Zhanggen chimed in coldly out of nowhere:

"What's so good about it? Cooking at home yourself, eating whatever you want — isn't that even more clean and hygienic?"

The moment he said this, everyone present immediately tensed up, afraid Du Xiaojuan would directly snap back.

If that really happened, the scene would blow up.

However, contrary to everyone's expectations, Du Xiaojuan directly ignored Wang Zhanggen, treating his words as wind past her ears.

"The floor above is a restaurant; everyone go up and wait, and I can also take the opportunity to show you around the other parts of this postpartum center!"

Du Xiaojuan said with a smile to Wang Dashan:

"Husband, you take them up first; I'll put on a few more pieces of clothing and come!"

Wang Dashan gave Du Xiaojuan an apologetic look, then hurriedly said:

"Okay, okay!"

"Dad, Mom, Second Brother, Third Brother, Yueran, Jianjia, let's go to the restaurant together!"

"Okay, okay!" Wang Erhai, Wang Xiaohua and the others all nodded repeatedly.

Only Wang Zhanggen snorted coldly:

"What's there to eat? We've already eaten lunch!"

Li Xiulan couldn't bear to watch anymore, and yanked him hard:

"Can't you shut your stinking mouth!"

Li Xiulan also apologized to Du Xiaojuan:

"Xiao Juan, sorry, he's just like this, often acts crazy; don't take it to heart. We'll go up now; after we finish eating we still have to take a big group photo, right?"

Du Xiaojuan smiled and responded:

"Yes."

Li Xiulan dragged Wang Zhanggen out of the room; as Wang Zhanggen limped out, his mouth kept muttering nonstop.

Everyone arrived at the elevator entrance.

Wang Erhai couldn't hold back:

"You old thing, can't you say a few words less? Can't you stop being such a killjoy!"

Wang Zhanggen said coldly:

"What joy did I kill? Isn't what I said the truth? We really did eat on the way here!"

Wang Erhai glared at him:

"Then you better not eat later!"

Wang Zhanggen said coldly:

"Not eating is fine; making it sound like I'm dying for it!"

Everyone arrived at the restaurant.

The restaurant's environment was very good, like a five-star hotel's restaurant.

But that's normal too; after all this postpartum center costs 120,000 Yuan for 28 days — so expensive, if the environment weren't good, who would come consume?

Before long Du Xiaojuan also came up.

A waiter came over and said the family meals were ready, should they be served now.

Du Xiaojuan said: "Serve them now."

In a short while, waiters brought up the family meals.

Five portions total, each one very sumptuous.

Four dishes and one soup: black pepper steak, braised chicken with mushrooms, red-braised spare ribs, stir-fried seasonal vegetables, and a pigeon soup.

"There are six of us total, how come only five portions were served?"

Wang Zhanggen, face dark, coldly questioned the waiter.

The waiter was stunned:

"You ordered five portions..." Then she looked up at Du Xiaojuan and Wang Dashan: "Miss Du, Mr. Wang, shall I have the kitchen make one more? But it might take quite a while — you know, everything here is made fresh."

Before Wang Dashan and Du Xiaojuan could answer, Wang Zhanggen was already displeased:

"What's going on? There are clearly six of us today — why did you two only have the kitchen make five family meals? Are you deliberately not giving me, your father, a portion!"

Wang Dashan explained with a wry smile:

"That's not what I meant — you said you weren't coming before, who could've guessed you'd suddenly show up!"

Wang Erhai, on the other hand, retorted coldly at Wang Zhanggen:

"Didn't you just say you didn't care for it? Why are you saying all this now?"

Wang Zhanggen huffed angrily:

"I can not eat, but you can't not set aside my portion!"

Li Xiulan hurriedly smoothed things over:

"You can have my portion — what are you making such a fuss for!"

As Li Xiulan said this, she secretly kicked Wang Zhanggen's plaster cast leg.

Wang Zhanggen was in such pain he immediately grimaced, glaring fiercely at Li Xiulan:

"Just speak if you're speaking — why'd you kick me!"

Li Xiulan stopped paying attention to Wang Zhanggen and instead said to Du Xiaojuan:

"Xiao Juan, my mobile phone seems to be in your room — how about you come down with me to get it!"

Du Xiaojuan nodded.

Then she went downstairs together with Li Xiulan.

On the way, Li Xiulan hurriedly said to Du Xiaojuan:

"Xiao Juan, really sorry about this — your father-in-law is ill, his temper's turned awful. Don't take those words of his to heart. I won't let him come to Guangzhou to trouble you again!"

Du Xiaojuan dismissed it with a smile:

"Mom, it's fine — let him say whatever he wants. I don't live with him, he can't do anything to me."

Li Xiulan sighed:

"Just afraid it'll affect the feelings between you and Dashan!"

Du Xiaojuan smiled:

"It won't — Dashan is Dashan, he is he."

Hearing this, Li Xiulan gave a wry smile and sighed:

"Hope so!"

Meanwhile in the restaurant, Wang Zhanggen was still grumbling nonstop:

"This stuff doesn't even taste good — not as good as the chicken your mom cooks!"

Wang Zhanggen ate, picking and choosing.

"If it's not good, don't eat!" Wang Erhai retorted directly.

Wang Dashan couldn't say anything — Wang Erhai would say it!

Wang Erhai had been tolerating Wang Zhanggen all the way here.

Now that Du Xiaojuan had gone downstairs, he certainly wouldn't hold his tongue.

Wang Zhanggen, retorted at like this by Wang Erhai, felt he'd lost face:

"Was I talking to you? I was talking to Dashan — shut your mouth!"

Wang Dashan chuckled:

"Dad, actually Second Brother's right — if it's not good, don't eat."

As soon as Wang Dashan said this, Wang Zhanggen immediately froze, his expression turning ugly in an instant.
