The Superior Female Lead Pampers Her Husband Without Limit

Seeing how happy and healthy her son looked now, completely different from before, everyone could tell it was all because Jewel truly cared about and loved him.

Having such a kind daughter-in-law was truly a blessing for the Xavia family.

With Jewel's arrival, laughter and joy filled the house. The three women inside chatted happily, making the usually quiet home lively and warm.

In the kitchen, Xana looked at all the rice, flour, and pastries that filled the shelves. She didn't even know what to say—did this daughter-in-law bring the whole kitchen from the Xie family?

Xana also changed her usual frugal ways. She went straight into the yard and caught an old rooster they had raised for years, preparing to cook it for their guests today.

She had heard from her daughter that Jewel had lent their family five taels of silver a few days ago. If it wasn't for that money to pay for the doctor, her husband wouldn't have recovered so quickly.

Not to mention, her son returned home full of smiles, wearing new clothes, and even riding in a carriage. It was clear how much Jewel valued him.

Xana now felt completely at ease with her daughter-in-law. Since Jewel treated her precious son so sincerely, she would return that same sincerity to Jewel.

As the father-in-law, today he must treat Jewel well.

"Dad, shouldn't we keep that hen for laying eggs?"

Xavi looked at his father, surprised that he caught the old hen they'd kept for eggs for many years. It had provided so many eggs over the years—why suddenly decide to cook it today?

He and his wife usually had simple meals. Why go all out today?

"It's only right to serve something nice when your wife is visiting," Xana replied as if it were obvious. "What's wrong with killing a chicken?"

"Dad, didn't you say before that women tend to be calculating? Why did your attitude toward my wife change so much this time?"

Xavi was confused. Why such a huge change of heart?

"Ah? Don't you know that your wife gave us money?"

"What money?"

Xavi looked puzzled. Did his wife give his family silver?

"You really didn't know?"

"Dad, I honestly didn't."

Xavi looked innocent. Xana could tell just by looking at him that he wasn't lying.

So she explained everything in detail about how Jewel had quietly helped their family last time they visited.

While cooking and boiling water, Xavi listened to how his wife had secretly helped his family, and suddenly, he felt like crying—not out of sadness, but from being deeply moved.

He had planned to talk to Jewel about helping his family once the restaurant business was doing well and they had some extra money. If she didn't agree, he wouldn't push—because in this world, husbands must not go against their wives, not even for their birth families.

Even the spending money she gave him, he never used it. He was saving it just in case she agreed to help someday—then he'd use his own allowance so she wouldn't need to take more from her own purse.

He would never dare to take things from Jewel's family or give away the money she gave him without permission, afraid she'd think he was dishonest or sneaky.

But she had already thought everything through and had given money for his father's treatment long ago...

The more Xavi thought about it, the more his throat tightened. His eyes filled with tears, and he couldn't hold them back. In front of his father, he started crying and laughing at the same time.

Xana, being older and experienced, understood his son's feelings. Watching his son cry with joy made him smile too, though there was also a bit of sadness in his heart.

His son was lucky—he had met someone truly worth loving at the best time in his life.

In all these years, Xana had never met such a caring woman. He felt incredibly lucky that this woman was the one who cherished his son.

Xana had never experienced such love and warmth in his own life, but his son had truly found it.

That day, Xana's heart felt lighter and more at peace than ever before—as if all his regrets were suddenly healed.

"Alright, stop crying now. This is a good thing," Xana said, wiping Xavi's tears. "She cares about you a lot. If you keep crying, she'll start to worry."

"Okay," Xavi nodded, trying to hold back the wave of emotions inside.

He rolled up the sleeves of his new clothes, revealing his smooth, fair arms and the silver bangles on his wrists. He continued chopping vegetables.

Father and son cooked a feast together—meals they usually only had for New Year's.

Meanwhile, the women inside were chatting about opening a restaurant.

Xavia and her daughter were surprised when Jewel said she planned to open a restaurant in town.

They had never dared to eat at restaurants before—just one meal there could cost enough for several days of groceries.

Whenever the topic of "eating out" came up, people in the village would say:

"Why waste money like that? One restaurant meal could steam a whole basket of buns!"

So the idea that their daughter-in-law not only dared to go to a restaurant but wanted to open one herself felt unbelievable. Xavia couldn't even imagine how much money that would take.

"Do you need help?" Xavia asked. "Opening a restaurant isn't easy. I've worked at a tavern in town and can read and write a little. I have some experience—I can help you."

She felt Jewel was truly part of their family now, especially after everything she had done for them—giving money and bringing supplies. It was time to return the favor.

"You mean you can write with a brush and use an abacus?" Jewel's eyes lit up like she'd just found her savior.

Those were exactly the two things she struggled with the most. Her brush writing was terrible, and she still wasn't good with the abacus.

In her past life, everything was typed on a computer, and accounting was done by professional bookkeepers.

Here, though, she had to do everything by hand—and she wasn't used to it at all.
