Mother and Daughter-in-Law Join Forces

Mother Zhou was afraid Eldest Sister-in-Law Tian Caihua would finish all of Jiang Xia's soup, so before she could come back for another bowl, she moved the soup away. "It's in the way when we're serving food. I'll set it aside for now. In-law Sister-in-Law, I'll serve you some rice."

"How could I let you?" Eldest Sister-in-Law Tian Caihua had not planned to eat rice. She intended to fill herself up on the dishes, but Mother Zhou had already taken her bowl away.

Old Mai said, "It's not considered a very big company."

Eldest Sister-in-Law Tian Caihua said, "It must be very big, or how could you have so much money to build roads and schools? Your company..."

Jiang Xia had only just recognized her grandfather, and Eldest Sister-in-Law Tian Caihua had come knocking as soon as she got the news!

How could she have the nerve?!
