Walking into Lih Xiao's home, Li Hongjuan found herself even more satisfied with this "daughter-in-law"—the house was spotless, and the furniture and everyday items were neatly arranged.
Of course, there was always the possibility that Lih Xiao had done some last-minute cleaning. However, Li Hongjuan had a pair of sharp eyes, and the kitchen was a place where messes couldn't hide. The stove, sink, dish cabinet, refrigerator, and floor—it all spoke volumes.
Li Hongjuan entered the kitchen and casually asked, "Xiaoxiao, do you usually cook for yourself?"
"Yes."
Lih Xiao followed behind her, accompanying her as she inspected. She answered cautiously, a little nervous herself, worried that something she'd done might not measure up and that her future mother-in-law might be displeased.
"Now that you're pregnant, you should take it easy with the housework. Has Shen Yuan not helped you hire a nanny? I'm definitely going to reprimand him for it when I get home."
