After bringing his parents-in-law back, Yue Zhiyuan immediately went into the kitchen and started cooking. This was something he and Yu Min had agreed on: dumplings before boarding and noodles upon arrival. They would try to cook their first meal at home, and then each of them could have a bowl of noodles later.

"Xiaoyong, come here and let Grandma see if you've grown taller?" Zheng Aiying called her grandson Yue Xiaoyong to her side.

"Grandma!" Yue Xiaoyong went up to his grandma.

Zheng Aiying compared her own height to that of her grandson: "Wow, it hasn't been that long! He's grown so tall!"

Yu Min laughed and said, "Luckily, his head shape comes from his father, not me."

Yu Xiang smiled and called to her nephew, "Xiao Yong, come to your aunt's."

"Auntie!"

Yu Xiang hugged her nephew tightly and asked, "How about you stay at your aunt's house for the New Year?"

"Great!" Yue Xiaoyong perked up immediately upon hearing his aunt's words. He had been to his aunt's house before. Not only was the place big, but the yard was also enormous, and there were many friends there, including a dog.

Yu Xiang looked up at Yu Min and said, "Your family can stay at my place during the Spring Festival. My place is a bit more spacious than Yu Wei's. I'll have Yu Wei bring Yu Chengping to my place too, so the kids can all get together and have some fun during the Spring Festival."

Unexpectedly, Zheng Aiying disagreed and stopped them: "No, no, we have rooms available over there. Zhiyuan and Yumin will stay with us later, so they don't have to run back and forth."

Seeing her mother's firm attitude, Yu Xiang stopped insisting on her own idea and said, "Then I'll listen to Mom. But Xiao Yong and Yu Chengping can stay at my house. Let the kids stay together and have more fun."

Zheng Aiying did not object to Yu Xiang's suggestion. In fact, she thought so too, but she was not comfortable saying it. It was better for her eldest daughter to say it herself. Whether her grandchildren and great-grandchildren could get along well in the future depended on cultivating their relationship from a young age.

When these children grow up, Yu Chengping and Yue Xiaoyong will have the help of their two cousins, and will have more opportunities than ordinary people.

As they chatted, the topic turned to Yu Min.

"Why did you leave the bureau and go to Qinggao to become the principal?" Yu Xiang was a little puzzled by her sister's recent job change.

Upon hearing her elder sister mention this matter, Yu Min truthfully replied, "At the beginning of this year, the original principal and the logistics director were imprisoned due to school infrastructure issues, which left their positions vacant! Several vice principals and principals from other high schools all coveted these positions and went everywhere to find connections and pull strings, even going to the provincial level, all in an attempt to get them."

"I didn't expect that the connections I found were evenly matched. The bureau didn't know what to do for a while. Giving the position to either of them would offend people, so the leaders asked me to take on this position temporarily and then readjust it later. I guess you could say I was appointed in a time of crisis!" Yu Min seemed helpless, but her words revealed her smugness. After all, Qinggao is a key provincial high school, and with the experience of being the principal of Qinggao, her future career will be much smoother.

Just then, Yue Zhiyuan came out of the kitchen carrying dishes. Hearing Yu Min's words, his straightforward nature prevented him from speaking the truth: "You! You're just benefiting from your brother-in-law's connections. Those leaders are all very shrewd. Your brother-in-law has donated so much money to the city's education system without asking for any recognition, and he's also invested in several large projects in the city. The provincial and municipal leaders all know you're his sister-in-law. Can those vice principals and principals compare to you?"

"You talk too much, hurry up and cook." Yu Min blushed, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed.

Yu Xiang gave Yu Min a deep look. As her own sister, she naturally knew Yu Min's temperament and personality. Yu Min had a particularly strong sense of self-esteem, so it was not surprising that she would say such a thing.

Unfortunately, denying it is useless. If it weren't for her man, how could Yu Min have easily obtained this position? This position is very valuable. Didn't you hear her say that many people are trying to get this position, but it ended up in her hands? If she didn't have her brother-in-law Huang Xiaochuan's background, would the leaders have thought of her?

As she thought about it, Yu Xiang felt sorry for her husband, who was doing thankless work all the time, and her mindset naturally underwent a subtle change.

Yu Min realized she had gone too far and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Big sister, I didn't mean anything by it, please don't take it to heart!"

Yu Xiang smiled faintly, which could be considered a reluctant response.

They're both adults, and have been working within the system for so many years. They're also sisters. If Yu Min couldn't even notice this little abnormality, she would have lived in vain.

She glared at her man, even more annoyed, blaming him for being so talkative.

In fact, Yue Zhiyuan was doing it for her own good. He felt that it was perfectly legitimate for her to benefit from her brother-in-law's influence, so why hide it? Everyone knew about it, but she insisted on saying that it was all due to her own hard work. He just couldn't stand Yu Min for this, and he had talked to her about it many times at home.

Old Yu and Zheng Aiying were naturally furious. This second sister of theirs! Has she lost her mind? So what if they have a relationship? So many people would love to have such a relationship, but she's enjoying the benefits her brother-in-law brings her, yet she just won't admit it. It's obvious she wants both.

The elderly couple couldn't help but look at their eldest daughter. As her husband's wealth and social status grew, their eldest daughter's position in the family rose dramatically. If it weren't for her, the Yu family wouldn't be where it is today. From Yu Wei to Yu Min, and even the entire Yu family, which of Zheng's relatives hadn't benefited?

Therefore, the eldest daughter is very important to both the Yu and Zheng families. If she were to be alienated by her proud younger sister, it would be a great loss.

Thinking about this, Zheng Aiying felt even more resentful towards Yu Min.

Fortunately, Lao Yu managed to stabilize the situation at this moment: "Alright, alright, what nonsense are you talking about? Let's eat. Zhiyuan, you've been busy all afternoon, haven't you? You've worked hard. Have a few more drinks with me tonight."

"Yes, yes, we're all hungry! Let's eat!" Zheng Aiying instantly understood her husband's intention and chimed in.

The atmosphere during the meal was somewhat different from usual.

"Dad! Please drink as much as you like, I'll drink it all!" Yue Zhiyuan also realized that his quick tongue had caused some resentment among his family today, and he regretted it a little.

"At home, let's enjoy our drinks and eat more vegetables!" Old Yu thought highly of his second son-in-law. He was an upright man who was responsible for his family. Although he hadn't achieved as much as his eldest son-in-law, how many people in this world could be like his eldest son-in-law? People shouldn't be too greedy.

"Hehe, Dad's back. I have to toast you a few more times. Please drink slowly and try my cooking." As he spoke, Yue Zhiyuan used serving chopsticks to place the dishes in front of his father-in-law.
