Before the New Year holiday, Su Tiantian was tricked into returning home by a 200,000 yuan promise. The village distributing land money was real, but the desire to trick her into coming home early ...
In the Liu family's private room, Su Tiantian stood up and carefully poured soup. She placed a spoon on the bowl, which was about eight-tenths full, and placed it in front of Liu Zhaosheng: "Godfather, please have some soup."
Liu Zhaosheng looked at Liu Jingze, who was sitting on his left, and said, "This scene looks like a daughter-in-law being abused. She has to serve me even though she's pregnant."
Liu Jingze's deep and magnetic laughter echoed in the box: "Godfather, what kind of joke are you making? Tiantian gives you a bowl of soup, and you can even link it to abusing your daughter-in-law."
Su Tiantian sat down slowly and said with a smile, "Godfather, I'm pregnant. It's not like I can't do anything. I can go to work. What's the big deal about serving you soup? And it's best to abuse your daughter-in-law when your son is not around. Your precious godson is sitting next to you and watching."
Liu Zhaosheng said, "Honestly, it was Jingze who let you go to work if you like. Seeing you like this, I would rather you not work. I'm always worried that you're going to give birth, so how can I bear to let you work? Let me do things like serving the soup next time."
Lan Quancong quickly said, "How can you do it alone, Mr. Liu? You don't want to let Mrs. Liu work, but I'm here for you." Lan Quancong reached out and picked up the spoon to serve soup to Liu Jingze and others.
Yun Suiyang said, "Boss Liu just said it looked like they were abusing their daughter-in-law. I remembered what Ah An and I heard yesterday about a client who had a disagreement with her in-laws and even a fight. I think those in-laws were really targeting their daughter-in-law."
Liu Zhaosheng said with interest: "I found that Ah Yang has become more talkative since he followed Jingze. He is not like before, who was silent all day. What gossip did you hear?"
Yun Suiyang said, "The client said she slept in at home on a weekend morning. Her mother-in-law knocked on her door at 5:10 and asked her to get up early and clean the house. She said it would be fine if she waited until 8 or 9, and her mother-in-law said she had never met such a lazy woman. The worst part was, she was in a hurry to go to work that morning and asked her husband to help dress their three-year-old daughter. Her mother-in-law scolded her, saying, 'Shameless! Asking a father to dress his daughter!' She also said she was a spendthrift because she had daily deliveries, even though she actually shopped online to save money, as some items were cheaper than in stores."
Hearing this, Su Tiantian put down her spoon and said, "How can you say such things? Is it not okay for a father to help his three-year-old daughter dress? Then can a mother help her three-year-old son dress? There should be no physical contact between men and women."
Lan Quancong said: "This is really targeting the daughter-in-law. It's normal for the couple to take care of the children if they are free."
Liu Jingze said: "There are all kinds of people in the world. In fact, when a family gets along with each other, sometimes we need to be considerate of each other."
Yun Suiyang said, "The client said her mother-in-law didn't want her husband to do anything. When her husband volunteered to help wash the dishes, the mother-in-law said she was lazy. When she used the washing machine, the mother-in-law unplugged it. The father-in-law would then help her beat her, cursing and scolding her. She didn't even want to go home after get off work and had lunch with friends at the farm."
Liu Zhaosheng said, "Then this guest will have a really hard time."
There was a knock on the door, and Yun Suiyang stood up and said, "I guess it's the waiter coming to serve the food." He went to open the door, and sure enough, the waiter came with a cart, serving six dishes:
Steamed sea bass
Roasted Meat Combination
Braised Lamb with Water Chestnuts
Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs
Stir-fried diced pork with summer nuts and cashews
Chinese cabbage soup
Five bowls of rice
Liu Jingze said, "Godfather, there are only five of us having dinner tonight, so the dishes can be simpler." Although the dishes are simpler, they are certainly not bad, with six dishes and a soup. After all, Siqi Farm is his own place, so of course he can't just eat casually.
Take steamed sea bass, for example. It might seem simple, just steam the fish until cooked. But in reality, the fresh sea bass is slaughtered, scaled, and then salted and rinsed. Add shredded ginger and chopped scallions, boil the water, and steam for 15 minutes. Then, discard the broth and add the prepared steamed fish seasoning, topped with shredded scallions, and drizzled with hot oil. The heat and seasoning are carefully controlled to achieve the perfect balance of light and salty.
Liu Zhaosheng held the spoon and said, "I can eat anything. Are you going to treat me badly? Auntie and Liangjie went to attend Ren Zhenghui's wedding yesterday. They will be back the day after tomorrow to hold the three-day banquet. The Xiao family is not here, so the work falls on you. Thank you for your hard work."
The waiter left after serving the dishes. Yun Suiyang sat down next to Lan Quancong and said, "Mr. Liu received quite a few calls today. From Mrs. Liu, Mr. Liu, the young masters and daughters of the Ren family, Miss Jiang, and Mr. Xiao. After listening to the calls, some things had to be postponed."
Liu Jingze said, "I'm not going to talk about it anymore. I'm going to have some soup and eat. I've been busy these past few days, both professionally and personally. Brother Jie and Ziyang said they were going to celebrate their last single night with Chen Shuxuan tonight, but I said I wasn't going. I didn't even go to my cousin's wedding, so I'm really busy."
Liu Zhaosheng felt sorry for Liu Jingze, so he said, "If you don't want to go, then don't go. Hurry up and eat. You'll be busy for two more days. When your father comes back, let him be busy."
Su Tiantian smiled secretly. It seemed that her father-in-law Liu Liangjie would have to work overtime as soon as he came back.
Lan Quancong laughed out loud: "Director Liu, Mr. Liu might get angry if he hears you say that. Mr. Liu must be very tired from going to Kuoshan City this time. Not only did he go to the wedding, he also had work to deal with."
Liu Zhaosheng said nonchalantly: "He can be angry if he wants, but he doesn't dare to scold me."
Su Tiantian reminded: "Godfather, he can scold your precious godson."
Yun Suiyang said, "Then Mrs. Liu, you should stay close to Mr. Liu. Mr. Liu won't scold Mr. Liu in front of you."
Liu Zhaosheng laughed heartily: "Yes, with Tiantian here, Liangjie has to be quiet when he curses."
In fact, Mr. Liu, who loves his son dearly, rarely scolds him.
