Chapter 119: Eating at home is hard to swallow

"Why is Mrs. Chen unhappy when she hears Brother Chen talking about me?" Ye Siran asked in pretended confusion.

In fact, she knew very well what was going on in her mind. She was just jealous. She probably thought that Brother Chen liked her!

"This...this...is...that's why I thought Brother Chen liked you!" Mrs. Chen said embarrassedly.

She has a good family background and is good-looking. She can be said to be a beauty in the county party committee compound. Many outstanding young men in the compound like her very much.

But she fell in love with Chen Zihao, the eldest son of the Chen family, at first sight. Chen's mother also liked her family background, and the two hit it off immediately.

But Chen Zihao didn't like her. It was his mother who liked her very much and brought her to the Chen family every day. Only after a year did he agree.

They have been dating for three years now and are planning to get married on December 12 this year.

Chen Zihao talked to her about everything, but the person he talked about the most was another girl.

He said she looked like a bean sprout, but was stronger than his father. He said he had never seen a girl with such strength...

Chen Zihao talked about the girl like bean sprout all the time. Although she was curious, she was really unhappy to hear it.

She always thought that Chen Zihao liked the "bean sprout girl" as he called her. Once, Chen Zilong was also present.

The two brothers talked about Ye Siran together. She noticed that Chen Zilong's expression when he talked about the girl was completely different from that of her fiancé.

Only then did she realize that Chen Zihao didn't like Ye Siran, but simply admired her.

“…”

Ye Siran didn't know how to respond because she saw the misunderstanding in Chen Dasao's eyes. She mistakenly thought that she was Chen Erge's fiancée.

To be precise, the future sister-in-law of the Chen family did not misunderstand her, probably because she saw the heat in Chen Zilong's eyes.

Ye Siran is not really eighteen years old. She is a middle-aged person with rich experience, so she can understand what the future sister-in-law of the Chen family means.

After she married into the He family in her previous life, she had always had to look at the faces of He's mother and the He family, so Ye Siran was very good at guessing what other people were thinking.

What is the difference between her, a person who is not loved by her stepfather and her biological mother, and an orphan? But the orphan can only marry He Hongwen because her father saved Uncle He.

Marrying into the He family was simply a step to heaven. Everyone in the compound envied her and envied her good fortune.

But it is not easy for a timid orphan to marry into a wealthy family.

She was constantly ridiculed and mocked, and even the nanny and dog at home looked down on her and despised her.

The three sisters-in-law disdained to associate with her and laughed at her everywhere in order not to bring shame to He Hongwen.

In order not to bring shame to Song Chunhua and her stepfather, she forced herself to learn housekeeping and etiquette, and also rushed to serve her mother-in-law.

However, all her efforts were regarded as a joke by everyone, and people said behind her back that she was the He family's nanny.

"What are you all standing there for? Go to the kitchen and serve the dishes. You all just want to stretch out your hands when the food is served. I'm too lazy to scold you!"

Chen's mother's loud voice interrupted Ye Siran's thoughts and broke the silence in the living room.

"Hey, I'll go serve the dishes right away!" Chen Zilong said with a smile and walked towards the kitchen.

"I'm going too."

"I'll go too." Chen Zihao held his fiancée's hand and walked towards the kitchen.

This was Ye Siran’s first visit to Chen’s house, so she definitely wouldn’t go with them, and she didn’t need to please Chen’s mother.

Only Chen's father and mother were left in the living room. Chen's father smiled and said, "Xiao Ye, uncle will go get a basin of water for you to wash your hands and eat."

When Chen's mother saw that her husband, who never worked, was going to fetch water for Ye Siran, she looked unhappy and said, "I'll go!"

"Don't bother me, Auntie. I can go by myself." Ye Siran said as he was about to catch up with Chen Zihao and the others.

"Mother of the child, this is Xiao Ye's first time coming to our house, could you please not have such a gloomy face?" Chen Wei reminded his wife as he watched Ye Siran leave the living room.

"What? Do I have to kneel down to greet her?" Mother Chen's tone was a little sharp.

"You are totally unreasonable. This is your first time meeting Xiaoye. Why are you so hostile to her?"

"She is the granddaughter of a prisoner in a labor camp. Why did you invite her to our house?" Chen's mother asked dissatisfiedly.

"Do you know that if her father hadn't saved me, I would have been buried in the earth for many years!"

"Hmph! I warn you, there are many ways to repay a life-saving favor, but don't ask your son to marry you!"

"Don't feel good about yourself and don't think that everyone will like your son!" Chen Wei said with regret on his face.

His second son asked him several times how to pursue girls. After repeated questioning, he found out that his son liked Xiaoye, but Xiaoye didn't like Zilong at all.

However, Chen Wei did not intend to tell his wife about these things. If she knew, who knows how she would embarrass the girl!

"Old Chen, tell me clearly, what do you mean by this? Does Ye Siran still look down on my Zilong?"

"I didn't say that. If you want to think that way, there's nothing I can do about it." Chen Wei said tiredly.

Although Ye Siran had walked far away, her hearing was amazing and she heard everything that Chen's father and mother said clearly.

I couldn't help but complain in my heart: Chen's mother is really not an easy person to get along with, maybe she is similar to He's mother!

If she really fell in love with Chen Zilong, she would not have gone down the same old path in her life.

Not to mention that Chen Zilong is not as bad as He Hongwen, she herself would not care about other people's opinions as much as she did in her previous life.

If you look down from the 80th floor, it's all beautiful scenery, but if you look down from the second floor, it's all garbage.

If a person does not have a broad vision, all he sees are problems. If a person does not have a broad vision, all he sees are trivial matters.

The ugliness of human nature is to find faults in those who have no power and to look for merits in those who have power.

When you are useful to others, human nature is kind; when you are useless to others, human nature is selfish.

Soon all the dishes were served, and Chen's father and son and Mrs. Chen began to politely put food into Ye Siran's bowl.

Later, they got along better and better, and some of them sincerely put food into Ye Siran's bowl, wishing they could give all the good dishes to her.

Brother Chen Zilong kept asking questions. After all, Ye Siran had lived in a big city, had broad knowledge, and knew a lot.

Combining her experiences from both lives, she answered all their questions, telling them everything she knew, making the father and his two sons and her future sister-in-law laugh non-stop.

"Sister Siran, you know so much. Many of the things you said are unheard of by me. Auntie, have you heard about it?" Mrs. Chen asked Chen's mother expectantly.

“…”

Mother Chen was speechless. She had never heard of many of these things. The better Ye Siran performed, the more worried she became.

Worried that her son would fall in love with Ye Siran, she had a meal at home for the first time in her life and found the food difficult to swallow.

It’s not that the food is bad. After all, today is her birthday and the meal is as sumptuous as that on Chinese New Year’s Day.

She looked at her second son's eyes as he looked at Ye Siran. The look in his eyes was deep and complex, and seemed to contain infinite heat.
