Chapter 272 Relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law
Ms. Zhang Fengxia was so choked that she spat out a mouthful of water and asked in confusion, "What did you just call me?"
"Mother-in-law."
As soon as Lin Xueyao spoke, she realized she had said the wrong thing. Her face flushed instantly, and her fingers unconsciously tugged at the hem of her clothes, fidgeting with it.
In the customs of the Dragon Kingdom, before marriage, the woman cannot address the man's parents in this way.
This term can only be used after marriage.
Moreover, the groom's parents also have to give a "change of address fee".
"I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, I called you by the wrong name." Lin Xueyao apologized timidly. In front of strangers, she was as reserved as a child who had made a mistake.
"No, no, you didn't call me by the wrong name, Lao Ye. Quickly hand over all the secret stash of money you've hidden under the sofa, and I'll give Yao Yao a change-of-address fee."
Ye Hao's eyes widened upon hearing this, and he looked at the other person with a look of horror. "How did you know that I hid my secret stash of money under the sofa?"
"You sit on the sofa with the newspaper every day, pretending to be all high and mighty. Do you think I can't see through your little scheme? Hurry up and give me the money."
Like a deflated balloon, Ye Hao walked dejectedly toward the sofa.
What Zhang Fengxia thought was a perfect hiding place for her money had long been exposed to others. The reason she didn't rush to close the net was that she wanted to play the long game and catch a big fish, and then take it all away when she had enough money.
And now that they're short of money, it's the perfect time to reap the rewards.
Ye Hao squatted down and rummaged under the sofa for a while, pulling out one colorful banknote after another, quite a lot of them.
Ye Lan, who was watching the show, couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in shock. Her father was quite ruthless; he had actually hidden so much money in secret.
The initial estimate is several thousand.
"That's all." Ye Hao was a henpecked husband; he even handed over a one-yuan coin.
Years of hard work were destroyed in an instant.
Ye Lan seemed to hear the sound of her father's heart breaking, and she tried her best to suppress her laughter.
Zhang Fengxia took the money and then realized that there were no more red envelopes at home. She immediately put all the money into her purse and said, "Your father and I are going out to buy some things. Yaoyao, don't leave today. Eat at our house."
After saying that, she grabbed Ye Hao and rushed out of the room.
Lin Xueyao slowly raised her smooth, jade-like chin and looked at Ye Lan, her voice aggrieved, "Does your mother not like me very much?"
"That's not true. My mom is very straightforward. If she really didn't like you, she wouldn't have invited you to dinner."
Ye Lan raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a gentle smile, and stretched out her index finger to gently stroke Lin Xueyao's pert nose.

Downstairs, Ye Hao asked, puzzled, "Our son's girlfriend is here, shouldn't we keep someone here to entertain her?"
"Why do I feel like that girl doesn't seem like my son's girlfriend?" Ms. Zhang Fengxia frowned, her wrinkles around her eyes becoming more pronounced.
"She is indeed good-looking, but our son is also good-looking, so the two are quite a good match." Ye Hao stroked his chin, feeling a little proud.
"The two do look quite compatible, but I'm not talking about their appearance."
"what is that?"
"The moment I saw that girl, I felt a tingling sensation in my heart, and the more I looked at her, the more I liked her."
Ye Hao was dumbfounded. "Isn't this a good thing?"
"What's so good about it? Aunt Liu from across the street once said that a mother-in-law should look at her daughter-in-law with disgust. If she looks at her more and more and likes her, then she is probably not your daughter-in-law."
Ms. Zhang Fengxia sighed, a strange sense of regret welling up in her heart.
After hearing the reason, Ye Hao chuckled, "People are all superstitious, but you believe these rumors. Aunt Liu is known for her harsh words, and her daughter-in-law has a bad temper. It's no wonder they argue."
"I feel that Yao Yao has a good temper. She speaks gently and softly. But you, your son has finally brought a girl home. Don't scare her away."
"How could that be? I like it so much I don't even have time to think about it. Let me ask Ye Lan what that little girl likes to eat."
As she spoke, Ms. Zhang Fengxia took out her phone and sent a message to Ye Lan, inquiring about Lin Xueyao's preferences.
After Ye Lan's live stream ended, she turned off the Do Not Disturb mode. When her mother sent her a message, there would be a voice notification.
"My mom asked you what you like."
Lin Xueyao placed her slender, jade-like feet, encased in lace stockings, into Ye Lan's hands. Her long, slender, snow-white legs rested on the latter's lap, her expression aloof and her eyes blank and dazed.
"I like you," Lin Xueyao answered without hesitation.
"Alright, alright, you're flirting with me, aren't you?" Ye Lan gently increased the pressure in his hand, making Lin Xueyao giggle from the tickling.
"No, I'm telling the truth," Lin Xueyao suddenly said seriously, her clear eyes filled with love, her black pupils seeming to turn into red hearts.
Ye Lan sighed softly and sent a message back to her mother, "Just buy some ingredients and cook some simple home-cooked dishes. She's not interested in food; she prefers the scene of the whole family eating together harmoniously at the table."
“You silly boy, she’s already come to our house, how can you just make a few simple home-cooked dishes to fool us? If I were her, I would never be with you no matter what.”
Ye Lan replied with a dragon-shaped question mark emoji, muttering to herself, "We're not even married yet, why do I feel like I'm the only outsider in the family?"
"What did Auntie say?" Lin Xueyao curiously leaned closer to see what the two were talking about.
"Well done, Lin Xueyao! You have the innate succubus body, and you've already turned my mother against me before you're even married! You're something else!"
"Huh?" Lin Xueyao looked blank, completely unaware of what had happened.
As Ye Lan spoke, she opened her mouth wide and put the thing in her hand into her mouth, which frightened Lin Xueyao so much that she turned pale and quickly stopped her perverted behavior.
Ye Lan thought she was scared, and a smug smile appeared on her lips. Unexpectedly, Lin Xueyao pulled her foot back and tucked it under her buttocks, saying timidly with her eyes:
"It's not washed, it's dirty. I'll wash it tonight and then I'll give it to you!"
Ye Lan: "???"
Ye Lan was stunned, then took a deep breath and angrily retorted, "Lin Xueyao, do you think I'm that kind of pervert?"
Lin Xueyao blinked her bright eyes and said innocently, "Isn't that right?"
After spending these days together, Lin Xueyao had a clearer understanding of Ye Lan's preferences. If he didn't like it, why would he give her foot massages every day?
"Of course not, how could I be a pervert who likes that? I was just trying to scare you."
Ye Lan sat up straight, puffed out her chest, and instantly lost her previous sleazy demeanor.
"Really?" Lin Xueyao asked suspiciously.
"It's true!" Ye Lan said decisively.
Are you eating tonight?
"Eat!" Ye Lan answered just as firmly and without hesitation.
