Chapter 357 Eliminate Meat and Keep Vegetables

However, Li Lili disagreed with Chen Mengyao's words. Although she had a naturally slim figure, as she entered middle age, she was no longer in control of her weight. She was afraid of the possibility that she might actually gain weight. Li Lili cared a lot about her figure.

"Mengyao, don't even think about it. I might really get really fat. You won't even recognize me then," Li Lili said, crying and making a fuss.

"If you ask me, you're overthinking it. Your mother-in-law means well, so don't worry about it. So what if you gain weight? Chen Ling won't mind anyway," Chen Mengyao said with a smile.

"But I can't just let myself go like this. No, no, I have to think of something," Li Lili said in a panic.

Upon hearing Li Lili's words, Chen Mengyao immediately laughed and then said to Li Lili, "Just give it a rest. This is your mother-in-law's way of showing kindness. Don't be stubborn."

Just then, upon hearing Chen Mengyao's words, Li Lili immediately clutched her head in distress. Chen Mengyao could only stand by and quietly watch Li Lili.

"I'm going to work," Li Lili said sadly. "Okay, okay, go on, it's nothing. Look, don't be sad, this is a good thing," Chen Mengyao continued to comfort her.

"I understand," Li Lili said, her face still full of grievance.

In the afternoon, Chen Ling called his mother.

"Hey, Mom, have you and Dad arrived yet?" Chen Ling asked hurriedly after the call connected.

"We're on our way. You must be getting off work soon," Mrs. Chen asked.

"It won't be long, it'll be quick. You have the key, right? Just go in when you get there, don't wait outside," Chen Ling reminded his mother.

"Okay, I understand," Chen's mother said happily. Then she hung up the phone. Soon after, Chen Ling and Li Lili got off work.

Meanwhile, Mr. and Mrs. Chen were buying groceries at the supermarket downstairs from Chenling's apartment. Soon after, they finished shopping and prepared to begin their stomach-nourishing plan.

"Mom and Dad, we're back!" Chen Ling and Li Lili shouted excitedly as soon as they entered the house.

"Sit down, sit down, your mom is already cooking," Mr. Chen said happily, waving his hand.

"Dad, you look much thinner than I've seen in the last few days," Li Lili said to Chen's father.

"Yeah, Dad, you've lost weight. Did Mom starve you?" Chen Ling asked curiously.

“What are you talking about? How could your mother starve me? It’s just that I haven’t had much of an appetite lately,” Mr. Chen said.

“Then we can have some nourishment together,” Li Lili said.

After Li Lili finished speaking, they heard Mr. Chen laugh. At that moment, Mrs. Chen came out.

"Ningxue, I've sent you the recipe I specified. Take a look," Chen's mother said to Li Lili, waving her phone in the air.

"Okay, Mom." Upon hearing this, Li Lili quickly took out her phone and checked it.

The menu was indeed very nutritious, which made Li Lili break out in a cold sweat. She was thinking to herself that if she followed this diet, even someone with a naturally slim figure would probably gain weight. However, Li Lili didn't dare voice her thoughts; she had brought Chen's mother back, and it was for her own good, so she could only follow Chen's plan. Fortunately, she and Chen's father were allies, as he also needed to supplement his nutrition. After finishing her explanation, Chen's mother prepared to return to the kitchen to continue cooking.

"Mom, I'll go help you." Li Lili stood up, ready to go and help Chen's mother.

"No need, Xiaoxue, you sit down and rest," Chen's mother quickly refused.

Li Lili then glanced at Chen Ling and sat down again.

After Mrs. Chen left, Li Lili said to Mr. Chen, "Dad, look how thin you are. You should eat more. Take this opportunity to eat some more too."

“Okay,” Mr. Chen readily agreed.

However, Chen Ling, standing to the side, was quite satisfied. He was just thinking about how to fatten up Li Lili when his mother came to help.

In no time, Mrs. Chen had prepared dinner. Then she called them over to eat.

"Wow, Mom, your cooking skills have improved again!" Chen Ling said in surprise as he looked at the table full of dishes.

"But it's all vegetarian dishes anyway," Chen Ling said again.

"I'm giving Ningxue some stomach-soothing medicine, have you forgotten?" Mrs. Chen said casually.

Then Mr. Chen added, "Eating too much meat is too greasy and bad for the stomach. We won't eat it at night anymore."

"That's fine too. We'll just eat whatever's nutritious," Chen Ling said casually.

After Chen Ling finished speaking, he began to pick up food and eat.

"Mom, can you make the vegetables taste like meat?" Chen Ling asked his mother after taking a bite.

"No." After hearing this, Chen's mother was speechless and said to Chen Ling.

"Oh, okay then," Chen Ling said disappointedly.

At this moment, Chen Ling realized it was time for him to eat alone. Otherwise, he, who couldn't live without meat, would probably find it very uncomfortable.

“These dishes are quite delicious, aren’t they?” Mr. Chen said, looking at Chen Ling.

"Yes, I didn't say it was bad," Chen Ling said, sounding aggrieved.

"If you like it, eat more. I made a lot today," Mrs. Chen said happily.

Then Chen's mother also started eating.

"Mom, thank you. I'm sorry to trouble you and Dad to come over." Just then, Li Lili spoke to Chen's mother.

“As soon as your mother heard you were sick yesterday, she insisted on coming over, but it was too late, and I thought you weren’t seriously ill, so I stopped her,” Mr. Chen said, glancing at Mrs. Chen.

"Thank you, Mom and Dad," Li Lili said gratefully after hearing this.

At this moment, Li Lili couldn't think of anything else to say besides expressing her gratitude. She had always known that Chen's mother and father treated her very well, like their own daughter, and she was deeply moved.

"No need to thank me. It's only natural for me to care about you. Just focus on getting better." Mrs. Chen said.

Chapter 358 Family Reunion

The family enjoyed their meal together happily. The air was filled with the scent of happiness. And then, at that moment, Li Lili's joyful voice could be heard.

"Okay, I understand, Mom," Li Lili said happily.

Li Lili was very grateful to Chen's mother. "Mom, I have something to ask you. Could you give me some special treatment? You know your son well, he can't live without meat. You know how I feel if I don't eat meat all the time," Chen Ling said, sounding aggrieved.

“I don’t care if you can stand it or not. My daughter-in-law is the most important. Besides, eating vegetables is great, it’s very healthy. You’re just making a fuss. Did you see what your dad said?” Chen’s mother said to Chen Ling.

"How dare you talk about my dad like that? Look how hungry your dad and my dad are, they've all gotten so thin." Chen Ling said calmly.

“Your dad has been losing weight because he hasn’t had a good appetite lately and hasn’t been eating much. How can you say that I’m the one who made him lose weight?” Mrs. Chen said indignantly.

“Yes, Chen Ling, didn’t I just tell you about this? We can’t wrong your mother.” Mr. Chen was still testifying for Mrs. Chen.

"Oh, okay," Chen Ling said calmly, lowering his head.

"You rascal," Mr. Chen said with a smile, looking at Chen Ling.

"Let me tell you, Chen Ling, you should lose weight. Haven't you noticed that you've gained weight since you got married?" Chen's mother said, trying to dissuade Chen Ling.

However, Li Lili suppressed a laugh when she heard this.

"Mom, let me tell you, what mother would complain about her son being fat? It's good to be a little chubby, it's a blessing, it means my life is getting better and better, and you should thank Ningxue for that," Chen Ling said excitedly.

"Oh, right, right." When Chen's mother heard this, she laughed and didn't hold it against Chen Ling.

"Mom, don't try to fool me. I'm talking to you. Are you even my real mother? I want to eat meat, but you won't cook it for me, and you even complain that I'm getting fat. I'm so disappointed," Chen Ling said, feeling wronged.

"Come on, don't try to pull this on me. It won't work. I'm not buying it," Chen's mother said calmly to Chen Ling. Hearing this, Chen Ling fell silent, only pursing his lips in exasperation.

"Alright, don't be upset. If you want to eat meat, it's not like we can't discuss it," Mrs. Chen said to Chen Ling with a smile. It seemed Mrs. Chen had some knowledge at this moment.

"What?" Chen Ling asked his mother with wide eyes.

"Then give me a grandson, that will make me happy and I'll cook meat for you every day," Mrs. Chen said, keeping everyone in suspense.

"Oh, never mind then, I won't go." Chen Ling said immediately after hearing this.

"Tch~" Chen's mother glared at Chen Ling and snorted.

"Mom, let's not talk about that now. Ningxue's stomach isn't feeling well, so the most important thing right now is to help her soothe it, right?" Chen Ling said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, I've already sent the recipes to Ningxue. This is my plan," Chen's mother said proudly.

"We still need to rely on Mom to take care of things more," Chen Ling said again.

"Oh, right, Mom, after we finish eating, I'll take you to play something fun," Li Lili suddenly said happily.

"What good thing is it? Look how happy you are." Chen's mother turned to look at Li Lili and asked. "It's the game console that Chen Ling bought a few days ago. It's so much fun." Li Lili said happily.

"That's great! It'll help me pass the time," Mrs. Chen said excitedly.

They continued chatting and eating. Before long, they finished their meal.

"Mom, you've worked so hard cooking, let me clean up," Mrs. Chen quickly said, pulling at Mrs. Chen who was about to clear the dishes.

"No need, I'll do it," Mrs. Chen said, declining.

"Didn't you two say you were going to play games? You can go ahead. Just teach me and our son, right, son?" Mr. Chen said to them with a smile, then looked at Chen Ling.

Upon hearing this, Chen Ling quickly said, "Yes, yes, I can teach this myself. You guys go and have fun."

"Then we're leaving." Chen's mother, Chen's father, and Li Lili said in unison. Then they immediately left, leaving Chen Ling standing there.

At this moment, Chen Ling looked at them and started to complain in his heart, "Wow, that's fast!" After complaining, Chen Ling started to get busy.

Chen Ling wasn't averse to doing some housework. So you could see Chen Ling humming a little tune as he busied himself.

“Mom, look, this is how the game works…” Li Lili said to Chen’s mother, holding up the VR headset.

"I don't quite understand, please say it to me again," said Mrs. Chen, who was standing nearby, sounding confused.

Then Li Lili explained the rules of the game to Chen's mother.

Chen's mother said, seemingly understanding but not quite, "I think I understand."

"Alright, let Xiaoxue and I play a game first, and you can see how to play. Then you can try it out," Mr. Chen said impatiently from the side.

"What a joke! If I don't know how to play, do you think you do?" Mrs. Chen said defiantly.

"Need I say more? You watch from the sidelines, I'll start with a game," Mr. Chen said confidently.

Then, Chen's mother took a step back and sat on the sofa. Next, Chen's father put on his glasses, ready to fight alongside Chen Ling.

Mr. Chen clearly understood the rules and was playing with all his might. After one round, Mr. Chen said, "This is really interesting. You should try it." He handed his glasses to Mrs. Chen.

"Dad, you play with Mom. I'll watch from the side. You can ask me if you don't know anything," Li Lili said calmly.

"Okay," Mr. Chen readily agreed. He had only just gotten used to it and was eager to play a few more rounds.

Then we saw Mr. and Mrs. Chen playing video games together. It was a very interesting scene. It's truly remarkable that two elderly people can have this kind of attitude.

"Hurry up and hit him, hurry up!"
