During the famine, a sack of grain was traded for a little girl. Everyone thought the family had lost their minds.

But ever since they adopted little Qingtian, it was as if their lives had be...

Chapter 545: Only Old Lady Ye knows the difficulties in her heart

After hearing what Zhou's father said, Old Mrs. Ye was happy and worried at the same time.

I'm happy that this meeting with my in-laws went well, and the Zhou family has recognized me.

It seemed that Ye Laosi's marriage was just around the corner.

But the last stroke is not so easy to write.

I don’t know how much it would cost to buy a house in Beijing.

Seeing that the discussion was almost over, Boss Ye stood up and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to take a look."

Mrs. Ye nodded and said, "Go quickly and help your wife serve the dishes."

Mother Zhou had been observing Old Madam Ye from the moment before, and could probably guess that she was worried about buying a house in the capital.

However, since Old Lady Ye did not refuse outright, it proves that the Ye family still has the strength to do so.

So when Old Lady Ye said this casually, Mother Zhou was very sure that she was definitely not pretending. It seemed that the family style of the Ye family was indeed as Madam Xu said.

Seeing this, Zhou's mother felt more and more satisfied.

To be honest, the Zhou family is not short of money, and they don't need to rely on marrying their daughter to earn the betrothal gift.

She only has this one daughter, and all she wants is for her to marry into a good family.

I hope my mother-in-law can be sensible, brothers can get along harmoniously, and my son-in-law can truly love his daughter.

This sounds simple, but it is really not easy to find.

In the past two years, as their daughter has grown older, the couple has been worrying about this matter a lot, and they have contacted almost all the matchmakers with a little reputation in the capital.

But every time the other party introduced someone, there would always be some aspects that did not meet Zhou's mother's requirements.

Before Ye Laosi, the couple had already felt a little discouraged, thinking that if all else failed, they would just find a son-in-law who had no parents and would keep their daughter under their own eyes and take better care of her so that she wouldn't be bullied after getting married.

Not long after, Madam Xu came to tell them about Ye Lao Si.

Originally, when Zhou's parents heard about the Ye family's conditions and Ye Lao Si's previous situation, they were extremely unwilling and almost ordered someone to kick Madam Xu out.

As a result, Miss Zhou, who was hiding behind the screen and eavesdropping, became anxious when she saw this and ran out to speak well of Ye Laosi.

Only then did Zhou's parents realize that their silly girl had actually fallen in love with someone else.

The couple were so angry at first that they thought Ye Lao Si was deliberately trying to seduce the naive girl.

If Miss Zhou hadn't stopped him, Father Zhou would have taken his servants to find Ye Lao Si to settle the score.

It was not until the eldest brother of the Zhou family received the news and came back, and finally persuaded his parents to stop, that he found out the whole story.

My family also studied this for a long time.

The reason why they agreed to this meeting was, firstly, because Ye Lao Si now held an official position and General Ye's wife was the matchmaker; secondly, because the couple really couldn't persuade their daughter.

But after arriving, the couple discovered that the Ye family seemed very different from what they had imagined.

Soon, Boss Ye came up with the prepared dishes.

Mrs. Ye was already prepared and waiting in the kitchen!

After hearing Boss Ye say that everything that needed to be discussed had been discussed, he immediately started cooking, so the food was served very quickly.

Boss Ye ran up and down several times, and finally brought up two more main dishes, making the table full of sixteen dishes.

Although the aroma emanating from the table had already aroused the appetite of the Zhou family.

But Old Mrs. Ye didn't move at all, and Old Master Ye was busy going up and down the stairs serving dishes, so the Zhou family didn't feel comfortable picking up their chopsticks in advance.

Originally, the Zhou family thought that Old Mrs. Ye was waiting for Boss Ye to come back.

But seeing that Boss Ye had already taken his seat but the meal had not yet started, he couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Just as Zhou's mother was hesitating whether to give a subtle reminder, she saw Mrs. Ye coming up.

"I'm really sorry, I finished cooking and washed my hands before coming up, so I was a little delayed."

Mrs. Ye walked to the table and sat next to Boss Ye.

Only then did Zhou's mother realize that the Ye family was waiting for Ye's wife.

Moreover, Mrs. Ye did not show any surprise that everyone was waiting for her, which shows that Mrs. Ye is quite respectful to her daughter-in-law.

Thinking of this, Zhou's mother felt more and more satisfied.

Sure enough, as soon as Mrs. Ye sat down, Old Mrs. Ye immediately raised her glass, said a few polite words, raised a glass of wine, and then asked everyone not to be polite and to eat well.

Boss Ye accompanied Zhou's father and eldest brother Zhou for a drink, while Old Lady Ye, Sister-in-law Ye and Mrs. Shao were responsible for entertaining Zhou's mother.

At first there was some talking and laughing at the table, but soon no one spoke anymore.

The three members of the Zhou family were only focused on eating.

Boss Ye looked at Father Zhou and Big Brother Zhou who didn't even drink, and wondered if they thought the wine he prepared was not good enough.

But it shouldn’t be like that!

This wine was a good one that he had specifically asked Mr. Cen for before buying. It was several times more expensive than what he usually drank!

He had no choice but to observe the two of them carefully, and later found out that they were only busy eating and had no time to drink, so he felt relieved.

That’s right, Mrs. Ye’s cooking skills have always been good, and in the past six months, she has learned a lot of new skills from Mr. Cen in preparation for the cooking competition.

It would be strange if the Zhou family wasn’t fascinated by Mrs. Ye’s cooking when they tasted it for the first time!

Thinking of this, Boss Ye suddenly picked up his wine cup, clinked glasses with Sister Ye beside him, and said, "Wife, the dish you cooked today is really delicious!"

He didn't speak loudly, but everyone in the room was busy eating and no one was talking, so the Zhou family still heard it.

After hearing what Boss Ye said, everyone finally reacted and immediately raised their glasses to thank Sister Ye for cooking for everyone today. It was really hard work.
