    Don't call the creators of free novel websites chefs, language can affect people's thinking. The underlying logic is completely different. The relationship between chefs and customers is a consumption relationship. In the logic of market transactions, chefs have the obligation to ensure food safety and try their best to meet the needs of consumers. The relationship between free creators and readers does not meet the market logic. Creators are not serving anyone, they just create because they want to create. If they see unsightly content, they will block or block it, which will not save lives.

    I finally found a good-looking novel, which is as realistic as you and me around us, living a trivial life. When Mu Yu gives birth to a baby, parents from rural areas come to her husband's house to take care of the baby and daughter, cook, and do housework. They are busy all day long, but they can't even hear a kind word from her mother-in-law, and they are always criticized. Originally, the financial situation was not as good as that of her husband's family, but she was willing to spend more than 20,000 yuan to hire a confinement nanny for her daughter. As her parents said, "spend money wisely." Although he is a farmer, his mother-in-law's quality is not outstanding, and the daughter she has raised is outstanding👍 Although it is a family ethics drama, it is a very in-depth work and the writing is very good. Friends who like Mu Yu: He has a sharp heart, a sharp tongue, a straightforward sense of justice, and Lu Ran is generous. Reading this book will make you burst into tears. It will also make you think deeply. Awesome 👍
