Chapter 49: In-laws Don’t Let Me In

Song Yubai hurriedly explained, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, my uncle and sister-in-law went to visit the kitchen. Just now when you were receiving the red envelopes, my uncle said that he would show us his cooking skills for tonight's dinner."

Shen Lingxiao swallowed, "Really? Can you ask your uncle to make sour ginger beef again? After eating it that day, everything I ate tasted bland. I really want to eat it again."

Lan Yu: "Then go to the kitchen and see if there is sour ginger, ask your uncle to make it for us."

Shen Lingxiao jumped for joy, “Then I’ll go.”

Wei Cheng stood up and said, "I'll go with you and see what my uncle is going to cook for us tonight."

The curiosity of the others was aroused and they all asked Song Yubai.

"Who is your uncle?"

Song Yubai raised his chin proudly, "My uncle is my sister-in-law's biological uncle, and he is a great chef who travels around the world. You are in for a treat tonight, but you can't eat this meal for free. When my uncle opens a restaurant in the future, remember to go and support him."

"No problem, we will definitely go to support our uncle," everyone promised solemnly.

After deciding to stay here for dinner, Lan Yu called Ji Tiantian and asked her to take a taxi to the club after get off work. "Please ask other colleagues for me, if anyone wants to come and play, they can come together. There are a lot of handsome guys here."

When Ji Tiantian heard this, she smiled happily and said, "No problem, I will definitely bring a few more sisters over."

Five minutes later, Lan Yu received a message from Ji Tiantian: "Done. I will bring six sisters with me, making a total of seven. Remember to ask your uncle to cook a few more dishes. We will be there around six o'clock."

Lan Yu replied: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

In the kitchen, Gu Meichan received a message from Gu Yunchi and learned that seven colleagues from Lan Yu were coming to have dinner together. She quickly told Li Wenhao who was preparing the food.

He called two more people over to help.

Li Wenhao was busy for a while before he noticed that Gu Meichan was still standing behind him.

So he asked, "Miss Gu, what are you doing?"

Gu Meichan: "Ah? What are you doing?"

Li Wenhao: "This isn't the place for you. When the food starts cooking, the whole room will be filled with smoke. Miss Gu, a wealthy girl who doesn't care about worldly matters, has never cooked a meal in her life, right?"

"You'd better get out quickly, otherwise you will be choked by the smoke. I can't afford it."

Gu Meichan folded her hands on her chest and stared at Li Wenhao: "Li Wenhao, I think you have a strong hatred of the rich. I don't know if you have had any bad experiences in the past, but that has nothing to do with me."

"I have never bullied anyone. I cherish the friendship with my classmates. Look, we are all of this age, right? We are over 40 years old. We should live in harmony."

"And you are Yingying's uncle, so this is called a close relationship."

Li Wenhao was silent for a moment, then casually handed a bag of green beans to Gu Meichan, "Since Miss Gu wants to stay here, then help with the work. You know how to pick beans, right? Pick these beans."

Gu Meichan took the bag of beans in a daze and looked through it. "How do I pick them?"

Li Wenhao: ...

-

In front of Zhou Chongguang’s house.

Lan Yue stood at the door and banged on it hard, shouting, "Chongguang, Mom, please open the door first and let me in, then we can talk it out, okay? I promise you, I am of one mind with you."

"Chongguang, as long as you don't get divorced, I will agree to anything you say. Didn't I say that last time? If there is a woman out there who is willing to give birth to a child for you, I am willing to raise the child myself."

"Chongguang, I really can't leave you. How will I live if I leave you? If you really want to divorce me, then I will have no way out, so I'll just jump down now."

The door suddenly opened, revealing Li Dianfen's angry face, "Lan Yue, how dare you threaten us?"

Lan Yue: "Mom, I didn't, no, I'm not threatening you..."

Li Dianfen snorted coldly: "To tell you the truth, Lan Yue, I wish you would jump down, so that we can get rid of your family of vampires. Don't worry, I will help you call your parents to collect your body."

Lan Yue secretly clenched her fists. "Mom, how can you say that? I've been taking care of you and Chongguang diligently all these years since I married into your family. Even if I haven't made any contributions, I've certainly worked hard, right?"

"Also, my parents don't get their salaries for nothing. They work very hard in Chongguang's supermarket."

Li Dianfen's face turned dark purple, "Lan Yue, how dare you talk back to me! Who do you think you are? With your horrible appearance, you are able to marry my son. I wonder how many lifetimes of merit you have accumulated."

"You just cook and sweep the floor? What else do you do? You're just a hen that can't lay eggs. How dare you tell me about your hard work? Did your clothes, shoes, and bags cost my son less money?"

Lan Yue was also annoyed. "Mom, can you please stop talking about hens that don't lay eggs? You are a woman too, why are you making things difficult for me? Is it because I don't want to have children?"

"Lan Yue, you...get out of here. No matter how long you stand here, don't even think about entering this house!" Li Dianfen slammed the door shut. No matter how much Lan Yue shouted, she refused to open the door.

Lan Yue knew her mother-in-law too well. Li Dianfen had disliked her for a long time, and Zhou Chongguang had wanted to divorce her for a long time.

So there was no point in her wasting time any longer.

However, as long as she did not agree to divorce, Zhou Chongguang could do nothing to her.

She decided to go back to her parents' home for a few days and see what would happen.

As a result, when her mother Li Zhujun saw her come back, she accused her: "Lan Yue, why are you back? Didn't I teach you? You just stay at their doorstep and refuse to leave. Your husband and mother-in-law will definitely let you in."

"What if Chongguangzhen divorces you if you leave?"

Lan Yue was exhausted and sat down on the sofa, "Mom, I tried everything you said, but it's useless. They ignored me."

Li Zhujun: "They ignored you, so you gave up? Lan Yue, why did I give birth to such a stupid daughter like you? They ignored you, but you insisted on staying there. You belong to the Zhou family in life and will be their ghost in death!"

"Get up quickly and go back immediately," Li Zhujun said as she went to pull her daughter.

Lan Yue was already furious, and when she heard her mother calling her stupid, she exploded. She shook off Li Zhujun's hand and jumped up, shouting, "Yes, I am stupid, and you are smart. You are the only smart one in the family. Then why do you live like this?"

"If you as parents hadn't lived such a failure, would we as children have to rely on others to make a living? If you and my dad were billionaires, would I need to be a nanny for the Zhou family?"

Li Zhujun looked at her eldest daughter in astonishment, as if she didn't recognize her. She muttered, "Did you take the wrong medicine? You're being bullied by your in-laws because your own pregnancy isn't working well, okay?"

"What does this have to do with us?"

"Yes, it's my stomach that's not cooperating. I'm a hen that doesn't lay eggs, okay?" Lan Yue roared at the top of her lungs, pushed Li Zhujun away, ran into her and Lan Yu's room, and slammed the door.

Li Zhujun slapped her thigh and cried, "Oh my God, I've worked hard for this family for most of my life, and what have I gained in the end? Everyone scolds and blames me, they are all heartless people..."
