Chapter 1050 I think you're her family's nanny.
Shen Qing looked at her parents-in-law and said, "Dad, Mom, I think you shouldn't leave tonight. It's perfect timing to wait for Xiao Bei to come back so we can have a nice dinner together."
Wang Yaju also chimed in, "Yes, in-laws, just listen to Qingqing and stay for dinner tonight. I didn't know you would be coming over to prepare lunch, so it wasn't very lavish. Tonight I'll prepare a proper meal for you to try my cooking."
“This…” Yan Jiangshan looked at Yang Juan, meaning he wanted to listen to her.
Yang Juan said, "Okay, then let's be mothers-in-law this time. Don't you miss your children too? When An'an and Kang'an come home from school tonight, they can see them."
"Okay, then let's stay for dinner."
Shen Qing smiled, looked at her mother and mother-in-law, and said, "Mom, after we finish eating, I'll take you two to the mall to shop for some things."
Yang Juan said, "Let's just forget about it! Qingqing, you go about your own business!"
"Mom, I don't have much to do this afternoon, I'm very busy."
Wang Yaju, who was standing next to her, also spoke up, "Mother-in-law, since Qingqing said she would take us out for a stroll, let's go together."
“Okay then, I’m just worried about keeping the kids occupied with their own things,” Yang Juan said.
"It's okay, Mom. This is our first time going shopping."
Yan Jiangshan smiled and said, "Shen Qing is truly a good daughter-in-law. You have really raised a wonderful daughter. Since you ladies are going shopping, we men will stay home and play chess and drink tea. What do you think, in-laws?"
“I’m fine,” Shen Wenqiang said.
"..."
After a meal.
Shen Qing drove her mother-in-law and mother to a nearby large shopping mall.
In the afternoon, sunlight streamed through the mall's huge floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm glow.
Shen Qing walked into the shopping center with her mother-in-law on her left arm and her mother in her right hand, chatting and laughing. Their close relationship would make an outsider think they were three sisters with a very good relationship.
This was the first time she had taken her mother-in-law shopping. She hadn't had a mother-in-law for several years. But she felt this mother-in-law was a very nice person, so they got along very well. Although they didn't live together, they were like family.
"Mom, what do you think of this trench coat? It's simple in style and the color goes with everything. I think it's perfect for someone your age," Shen Qing said, pointing to a camel-colored trench coat in the shop window and turning to ask her mother-in-law.
The mother-in-law leaned closer to take a look, then smiled and nodded: "Hmm, she is quite pretty, but isn't she a little too young?"
“Not at all old!” Shen Qing’s mother chimed in, pulling her mother-in-law’s arm. “These days, even we older folks want to be fashionable. You’ll definitely look younger in this. Besides, you’ve maintained such a great figure, what’s there to be afraid of!” She picked up a similar style but a lighter color and held it up to herself. “I think this beige one looks good on me too, Qingqing, what do you think?”
"They both look great!" Shen Qing said with a smile, trying to smooth things over. "Both of you 'sisters' have such great figures and气质 (qi zhi, a combination of temperament, bearing, and style) that you look good in anything. Come on, let's go in and try them on!"
"This child, she just knows how to make us happy." The mother-in-law smiled broadly, gently patting Shen Qing's hand, her eyes full of affection.
The three of them walked into the shop chatting and laughing, and the shop assistants greeted them warmly. Shen Qing patiently helped the two elderly people choose the right sizes and helped them try on the clothes.
The mother-in-law put on her trench coat and twirled in front of the mirror. The mother praised her, saying, "I told you, it looks good! You look great! And the waistline is just right."
Looking at herself in the mirror, the mother-in-law smiled with satisfaction: "You look really good, quite capable."
"Then this one?" Shen Qing asked with a smile.
"Buy it!" the mother-in-law said readily, her wrinkles around her eyes smoothing out.
Mom also tried on the beige one, and it looked great too. Without saying a word, Shen Qing was about to take out her money.
"Hey, Qingqing, I can do it myself," her mother quickly stopped her.
"Mom, why are you being so polite with me? It's not like I'm not going out shopping, so I should buy you some clothes."
Without saying a word, Shen Qing paid the bill and then said to her mother-in-law, "Mom, I'll pay for yours too."
"You silly child..." the mother-in-law said with a hint of reproach, but her heart was filled with sweetness.
Just as I was about to leave after buying my things.
Suddenly, Yang Juan was stopped by someone.
"Sister, why are you here?"
Yang Juan didn't seem to want to pay any attention to the man in his forties in front of her.
"Where am I? Do I need to tell you?"
Shen Qing could tell from her mother-in-law's tone that her mother-in-law and the man in front of her did not have a good relationship.
"Sis, what are you saying? I haven't seen you in so long!"
"If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
Yang Juan was about to walk past the man and leave.
But the man called out to her.
"Wait a minute, sis."
"What's wrong? Is there something you need?" Yang Juan asked impatiently.
"Sis, why are you buying clothes here? The clothes here are so expensive!"
Then a woman in her forties standing next to the man spoke up, "Yeah, sister, things here are very expensive. How will you buy them?"
“It’s none of your business,” Yang Juan said.
"Hey, sis, how can you talk like that! We're just worried about you. You've been living alone for so many years, relying on your meager pension to buy clothes in such an upscale mall. It's a bit inappropriate," said the woman next to the man.
At this moment, Shen Qing said, "What's wrong with buying clothes in such a high-end shopping mall? Are you saying that you can come here but others can't?"
"Who are you?" The man sized up Shen Qing, then looked at Yang Juan. "Sis, you wouldn't happen to be working as a maid for this man's family, would you?"
"Sis, so you work as a nanny for a rich family! No wonder you came to such a high-end shopping mall! Turns out you're here to carry their bags."
Shen Qing couldn't stand listening to the man and woman in front of her singing in unison any longer.
"Who said she's a nanny?"
"Isn't she your family's nanny?"
“She isn’t,” Shen Qing said firmly. “She is my family.”
"Your family? How could that be? This is my sister. She's never even gotten married in all these years. You're saying she's your family?"
"That's right, she's my mother-in-law."
"What? Your mother-in-law? Are you kidding me?" The man looked at Yang Juan. "Sister, you're not married and don't have any children. How can you be her mother-in-law!" the man said.
"So what? A mother-in-law isn't necessarily a blood relative."
"Oh, I see. You're his stepmother-in-law. Are you looking for a companion?"
"Yes."
Yang Juan turned to Shen Qing and said, "Qingqing, let's ignore him and go!"
"Uh-huh."
Yang Juan has just taken her first step.
The man stopped her again.
"Sister, don't go yet. What happened? Why didn't you tell me you were looking for your husband?"
Yang Juan's face was serious. "Why should I tell you?"
"Sister, let me meet the kind of old man you've found." The man said, looking at Shen Qing. "Your daughter-in-law looks like a rich person. You wouldn't have found a rich old man too, would you?"
Yang Juan curled the corners of her lips. "Whether the old man has money or not has nothing to do with me. If he does have money, it's his. I just want to find someone to take care of me."
"Sis, so you've really found a rich old man."
“It has nothing to do with me, so what does it have to do with you? If there’s nothing else, you should leave now,” Yang Juan said.
"Sis, I have something else to tell you!"
"I don't want to talk to you," Yang Juan said, determined to keep walking forward.
The man quickly grabbed Yang Juan's arm. "Sister, do you really not want to talk to me?"
At this moment, Shen Qing looked at the man and said, "That's enough. People don't want to talk to you, but you keep pestering them. That's harassment. Be careful, or I'll call the police."
"What's it to you? I'm talking to my sister."
"Didn't you understand what I just said? I said this is my mother-in-law, she is my family now, and I have the right to interfere in this matter."
After saying that, Shen Qing grabbed Yang Juan's arm and said, "Mom, let's go."
"it is good!"
After they left, this time the man did not follow.
