Mother-in-Law Joins the Army in Beijing: Her Maxed-Out Cooking Makes the Whole Compound Drool

Only when Zhang Hongmei was poisoned to death by her son and cousin did she learn the truth: the son she had cherished all her life was actually her husband and cousin’s child, while they had sold off her own child.

Reborn, Zhang Hongmei stopped spoiling Zhao Yujiang and exposed her cousin’s ugly side, making her despised by everyone.

Her adopted son, Zhao Yuchuan, asked her to look after his pregnant wife. She left the ungrateful Zhao Yujiang and his family behind, packed her things without hesitation, and headed to the capital.

When she arrived, she found her daughter-in-law being bullied by the neighbors. She boldly stepped in front of her and stood up for her.

She devoted even more care to her adopted son than before. He noticed the change in his mother and was delighted, becoming even more dutiful.

By chance, she came into possession of a fresh-food supermarket. From then on, she used its ingredients to cook delicious dishes. Starting with a breakfast stall, she built her restaurant business step by step until it became one of the finest in the capital.

One day, a starving woman collapsed outside the restaurant. Zhang Hongmei let her work in the shop, but later noticed her birthmark. After having it checked, she learned the woman was her biological daughter.

She began teaching her daughter to cook and discovered she had a real talent for it, so she trained her to take over the restaurant. This was her own child.

Thanks to her cooking, her restaurant became famous throughout the capital. While caring for her children and building her business, Zhang Hongmei, now in her forties, pushed herself to do even more and gave her life a whole new shine.
