Chu Molin and Qin Lang hadn’t finished eating when Qin Yu returned.

“Mom, brother-in-law, I’m back,” Qin Yu greeted Nangong Shulan and Chu Molin.

“Hello,” Qin Yu greeted his family before addressing Qin Lang.

“Xiao Yu, you’re back, come and eat,” Nangong Shulan called her son over as she brought out the food.

“Brother-in-law, where’s my sister?” Qin Yu noticed everyone else but his sister.

“Your sister was tired today after going shopping with mom, so she’s resting now,” Chu Molin replied his brother-in-law after swallowing his food.

“Oh,” Qin Yu didn’t say anything more.

But he didn’t make conversation during the meal either.

After finishing the meal, Chu Molin and Qin Lang continued to clean up the crayfish and vegetables while Qin Yu collected the bowls into the kitchen.

“Mom, why is that guy named Qin Lang here?” Qin Yu asked his mother.

“It seems like he’s a friend of Molin’s. He was already at home when your sister and I returned. And from the looks of it, he and your brother-in-law and sister are quite familiar. Is something wrong?” Nangong Shulan looked at her son with curiosity.

“No, I was just asking,” Qin Yu had felt something strange about Qin Lang since meeting him in the morning.

Now he saw him again at his brother-in-law’s house. Was this a coincidence, or intentional?

Qin Yu didn’t know and shook his head, deciding not to dwell on his motivations for being here.

If there really was an issue, his astute brother-in-law would surely notice it.

He shouldn’t think too much about it, and should just rest and continue working instead.

Nangong Shulan watched her son deep in thought, wondering if he had discovered something.

However, since he didn’t ask any questions, she didn’t say anything more either.

“Xiao Yu, go take a rest. I’ll wash the dishes,” Nangong Shulan observed her son had lost some weight in just a couple of days.

It was fortunate that he was only trying out his new job for now. Who knows how busy he would be if he fully committed to it?

Nangong Shulan didn’t want to interfere too much with her children’s decisions.

She just felt indebted to Qin Lei’s family and wanted her son to be able to demonstrate filial piety by their side.

She knew she was being selfish but understood that this was the only thing she could do; Qin Xue had been pampered and willful at the time, not knowing how to do anything, Jiale was studying, so she could only restrict Qin Yu.

Nangong Shulan, seeing Qin Yu working so hard and enjoying this lifestyle, felt some regret, but there was no use regretting decisions already made.

“Mom, you should rest, I’ll wash the dishes. There aren’t many of them anyway,” Qin Yu didn’t take Nangong Shulan’s advice to rest right away, but instead suggested she rest.

“You just said there aren’t many dishes, go on, you don’t need to worry about this. You’ll be able to work better after a good rest, right?” Nangong Shulan knew what her son enjoyed.

“Alright, mom, thanks for your hard work,” as expected, Qin Yu compromised immediately.

Nangong Shulan quickly cleaned the dishes and tidied up the kitchen before leaving.

“Molin, will many people be coming for dinner this afternoon?” Nangong Shulan asked after noticing the large amount of food being prepared by Chu Molin.

“Hmm, mom, about seven or eight of my colleagues will be coming. They all have big appetites, so we’re preparing extra food,” Chu Molin explained, looking at the dishes.

Crayfish wasn’t something everyone ate, so it wouldn’t draw attention to have extra.

Cabbage, potatoes, and radishes were common foods, so having more of them wouldn’t be conspicuous either.

The only standout items were the two fish and 1 kg of pork brought back by Qin Xue.

While serving these dishes might make the meal seem more sumptuous, only men were invited, not women, so no one was likely to be envious.

Chu Molin thought that he might be overthinking things.
