「On the other side.」
An Lan, dressed in her pajamas, came downstairs. Seeing her mother chuckling to herself, she couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what are you laughing at?"
While tidying up, An Lan's mother said with a laugh, "I'm laughing about Yu Xi's mother. She just told me that Yu Xi and Lin Feng went out to run some errands, leaving the children at home."
"Lin Feng said he'd be back to cook at noon. She didn't want to trouble her son-in-law, so she asked me to come over and help!" she continued. "I guess she's still embarrassed to cook in front of him after cracking that clay pot last time. She probably asked for my help this time just to give Lin Feng some peace of mind!"
After all, having someone at home who could cook would surely set her son-in-law at ease.
An Lan couldn't stop laughing. "I bet Auntie was at her wit's end to come up with that plan."
"That's what I think too," her mother said, still smiling.
