136 You do seem to have self-awareness.

Hutou, seeing his mother's stern expression, shivered slightly.

He dashed into the kitchen, got a pair of chopsticks, and handed them to Lin Tang.

Lin Tang was utterly confused and had no idea what her sister-in-law was up to this time.

"What does this mean?" she asked.

Zhou Mei smiled, her face showing an unprecedented warmth and an unhidden eagerness to please.

"These are the pickled vegetables I made, you should try them," she said, looking at Lin Tang expectantly.

"But I've just eaten."

Zhou Mei, undeterred and unusually insistent, said, "Just try a bite!"

Lin Qingshui looked at his wife as if she were an alien, his face full of disbelief.

Hey!

Has my silly wife become generous?

But actually, he did want his sister to try the pickles because they really did taste good.

"Tangtang, if your second sister-in-law asks you to eat, just try it. It definitely won't disappoint you."

It was just short of outright praising Zhou Mei.
