Cupid's Arrow hit me hard! novel Chapter 2196

Whenever her family butchered a chicken, she only ate the chicken thighs and wingettes. She would not eat the other parts.

“Young mothers these days rarely experience nutrient deficiencies after giving birth. In the past, I could only eat a few chickens in the month after I gave birth. I wasn’t as fortunate as you are right now. You bought so many things back again too. I’ve said not to buy anything. It’s a waste of money, and your dad and I can’t finish them.”

Mrs. Sox scolded her daughter for buying gifts again.

Despite saying so, she still took the bags from her daughter’s hand. She was worried it would tire her daughter out.

After entering the house, Carlson went into the kitchen and took out extra sets of plates and cutleries.

The two bodyguards had their lunch there too.

They knew the Soxes never put on airs and were not particular about rules. If they did not sit and have lunch together, Mr. Bucham’s father-in-law would get angry too.

“Is there bread, Mom? I want to have a sandwich.”

Jasmine spotted her mom’s homemade pickles on the dining table. She sat and told her mom, “I’m craving bread and pickles.”

She could never eat those things in her in-laws’ house.

The dietician did not allow her to eat pickles.

Her mother-in-law also said she had to cut down on preserved food.

Therefore, Jasmine’s family never included any homemade preserved food in the things they would send over to her.

“I baked some bread this morning. I’ll toast it now if you want some.”

Mrs. Sox glanced at her son-in-law as she spoke.

Her daughter had married into a wealthy family. Although her son-in-law was nice, she was worried he would dislike the food.

Mrs. Sox knew her daughter’s three meals in her in-laws’ house were arranged by a dietician.

Everything Jasmine ate was of high quality.

Mrs. Sox did not have to cook for Jasmine whenever she worked at the bookstore either. Her son-in-law or his parents would arrange for someone to deliver food to Jasmine.

Josh knew what his mother-in-law was thinking. He smiled and said, “Mom, I want a sandwich with pickles like Jasmine. The weather’s so hot that I don’t want to eat a heavy meal. I just want a light sandwich.”

Mrs. Bucham was considered an open-minded parent. No matter who Josh fancied, she would give his marriage her blessing as long as her son was happy.

She was satisfied with Jasmine as her daughter-in-law.

However, their daily habits differed a lot. Jasmine dared not expect her mother-in-law to accommodate her. It was mainly her adapting to her mother-in-law’s habits. As time passed, Jasmine felt she was not as comfortable as her best friend.

In the past, Jasmine could still reassure herself that it was because of her pregnancy.

However, Serenity had gotten pregnant, and Grandma May’s attitude reflected the York family’s mindset.

Only then did Jasmine feel she had less freedom than her friend had.

Being the daughter-in-law of a wealthy family was not easy.

Nevertheless, Jasmine’s situation was good enough. Some people were worse off than her.

She heard that many women who married into wealthy families could only assist their husbands and educate their children at home. They were not allowed to expose themselves to the public excessively.

Their in-laws would also criticize them for wanting to start their business or open a store. Ultimately, they had no choice but to close their stores and give up on running a business for the sake of the family’s harmony.
