The food came soon, and Zhang Zhaodi played a trick and deliberately put all the dishes in front of herself.

She said she was pregnant and it was inconvenient for her to stand up and pick up the food, so she asked others to stand up and pick up the food while they were eating.

Everyone looked at her not-very-not-very-noticeable belly, acting like she had never given birth to a child and was being so pretentious.

However, considering that Ma Xiulan was treating them, they all gave in to Zhang Zhaodi.

Ma Xiulan took the lead and picked up a crispy golden fish and handed it to Zhang Zhaodi: "You have had a hard time during your pregnancy."

Aunt Qian looked at the delicious dishes in front of Zhang Zhaodi and felt a pang of pain in her heart:

"Only you would spoil your daughter-in-law. When we were pregnant, even eating an egg was a good day."

Zhang Zhaodi was very proud. Now that Chen Zhenzhen had done something wrong, she had even helped her mother-in-law to get two thousand yuan back today. It seemed that her good days of being the only one favored were coming.

Xingmin had to spend the money on herself. She was a girl who was about to get married, so what was the point of taking the money?

Ma Xiulan's smile did not reach her eyes as she watched Zhang Zhaodi pick up the fish and put it to her mouth.

"vomit"

As Ma Xiulan expected, bursts of retching sounds were heard.

In my previous life, I tried my best to improve Zhang Zhaodi's diet during pregnancy and made braised fish.

Zhang Zhaodi vomited after eating, saying that Zhao Xingye looked down on her and harmed the baby in her belly. She looked down on Zhao Xingye and made a big deal out of a small issue. She wanted him to compensate her with 20 yuan.

For the sake of family harmony, I gave it to him and then ate pickles for several months.

Now that she vomited, Ma Xiu Lan took all the meat and vegetables in front of Zhang Zhaodi and moved them in the opposite direction of her.

Inviting everyone to eat.

Then he looked at Zhang Zhaodi and said earnestly:

"You're experiencing a severe pregnancy reaction and can't stand the smell of meat. You should try some vegetarian noodles."

"For the sake of the baby in your belly, please bear with it."

Use what Zhang Zhaodi said just now to stop her.

Aunt Li burst out laughing.

This caused Zhang Zhaodi to complain, and Aunt Li glared back without hesitation:

"You can't even sit at the table when you eat at your parents' house, but you act so spoiled in front of Xiulan.

Which woman doesn't get pregnant? Your mother-in-law gave birth to five children. When she was pregnant, she not only had to work, but she was lucky to have some thick porridge after work. Don't act like a fool just because your mother-in-law loves her children."

Aunt Li is Zhang Zhaodi's distant aunt.

Zhang Zhaodi had five sisters in her family, and finally she had a younger brother. She was the second child and was not favored at home, so she had to work early.

It was after she heard Aunt Li chatting at her house about how Chen Zhenzhen was living a good life in their compound that she started to think about Zhao Xingye.

Aunt Li also knew that Zhao Xingye originally had a fiancée, but was suddenly snatched away by her distant relative.

She was embarrassed, so she disliked Zhang Zhaodi.

When Zhang Zhaodi saw Aunt Li talking about her in front of so many people, she looked at Ma Xiu Lan with grievance.

Counting on Ma Xiulan to help him.

Ma Xiulan brought her some plain noodles to the next table:

"Auntie Li is an elder, you shouldn't offend her. You're pregnant, and it's hard for you to smell this meat. Go eat over there."

Zhang Zhaodi looked at her mother-in-law and accused her of offending an elder in just a few words. What kind of elder was Aunt Li?

She pushed Zhao Xingye, who was eating happily.

His mother didn't cook in the morning, so he didn't eat. He also didn't eat at noon because he went to Chen's house to see the unlucky second son. He also fought two fights and his stomach was growling with hunger, so he didn't care about Zhang Zhaodi.

Zhang Zhaodi was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she turned around and went to eat noodles next door.

Everyone watching this scene thought that Zhao Xingye liked Zhang Zhaodi very much.

Otherwise, how could I break up with my previous fiancée who had a job and marry this one?

Could it be that Zhang Zhaodi was already pregnant with this baby?

She announced her pregnancy just one month after getting married, which was pretty fast.

Ma Xiu Lan watched all this without saying a word. In her previous life, Zhang Zhaodi had slandered her many times in public.

We ordered two more bottles of wine and added a few dishes.

Picking up the wine glass, he said, "I'd like to toast everyone. Thank you for helping my Xingmin clear his name. Everyone, enjoy yourselves. I'll add three more plates of pork dumplings for everyone."

Aunt Qian and the others' eyes lit up. This was even better than a banquet.

"Xiu Lan, don't worry. Xing Min's reputation is our responsibility. Tomorrow we'll go to other nearby compounds to clarify things. We can't let Xing Min be dragged down by his reputation.

And when Zhao Youcai comes back, we will all stand on your side. What a joke! You, a woman, have been raising the family for so many years. Not only have you raised your own children, but he also has an old mother who pretends to be paralyzed and a young brother. "

Ma Xiulan raised her glass and said sincerely, "Thank you all for helping Xingmin and me get justice."

Everyone then relaxed and ate to their heart's content. They felt guilty eating such a sumptuous meal without giving Ma Xiu Lan some work.

This table costs about twenty yuan, which is half a month's salary for an ordinary person.

Xingmin kept picking up food for Ma Xiulan. Her mother usually gave all the delicious food to them at home. Now that she finally had money, she could eat something good.

Zhao Xingye was only concerned with eating because he was really hungry.

Everyone put down their chopsticks, but he was still eating.

Ma Xiulan asked everyone to leave the table, and those who had drunk asked someone to support them.

Aunt Li drank too much, and Uncle Li could only take care of himself. Ma Xiu Lan called Xing Min to help help Aunt Li leave the table.

As soon as the person left, Zhang Zhaodi hurried over and saw that only a few meat dumplings were left.

Hurry and put it into your own bowl.

Zhao Xingye put down his chopsticks when he saw that there was no more food on the table.

Holding my bloated stomach, I stood up and stretched, feeling comfortable. It had been a long time since I had eaten so comfortably.

The waiter came forward and said, "Comrade, the total is 25 yuan. Please settle the bill."

Zhao Xingye was dumbfounded. "My mom left without paying the bill? Isn't it true that you pay first and then the food is served?"

When eating at a state-owned restaurant, you usually order the food and pay for it, and then the kitchen will prepare it. So Zhao Xingye was not in a hurry when he saw Ma Xiu Lan leave.

Seeing him ask back, the waiter said with a sullen face, "With more than ten of you dining together, you're bound to order more dishes intermittently. Wouldn't it be easier to pay all at once? Are you going to refuse to pay?"

Zhao Xingye quickly shook his head.

Anyone who dares to dine and dash in a state-owned restaurant will be reported to the factory and it will affect work.

"Then I'll go home and ask my mom for money, and my wife will stay here."

The waiter rolled his eyes and said, "No, we're about to get off work. Who's waiting for you? It's up to you whether you want to get married or not. If not, I'll find your workplace."

Zhao Xingye quickly stopped her: "No, I'm going to get married."

He took out the salary he had just received yesterday from his pocket. He had just started working and only earned 32 yuan a month. This meal cost him 25 yuan, which made him feel heartbroken.

Zhang Zhaodi felt even more distressed. They had only been married for two months, and the money was still in Zhao Xingye's hands. She had not yet coaxed Zhao Xingye to hand over his salary.

"Let's go home and ask mom for money."

Mom treated them to this meal for Xingmin, how could she let them pay for it?

Besides, Mom and Xingmin are both rich, but they are poor, so we can’t let them pay no matter what.
