In her previous life, Su Nian lived in vain. Her parents favored sons over daughters, only treasuring her elder brother!
She gave her all for her family, only to end up with nothing!
Up...
Father Chu smiled modestly and said, "No, it's nothing compared to what you guys are doing back home. I'm just wandering around out there, making do with what I have!"
After saying this, Chu's father called Chu's mother, as well as his two daughters-in-law Su Nian and Wu Lan to meet Chu Yingjie's family.
Su Nian and Wu Lan were not very old and lived in the capital, so they naturally dressed very fashionably, which immediately made their cousins' wives look inferior to their rustic cousins.
It was not yet the sisters-in-law's turn to talk. The woman just looked at Su Nian and Wu Lan sourly, as if she was very jealous.
Su Nian has come into contact with many people during this period and has long learned to judge people's thoughts from their expressions and actions. Seeing the sour look of the daughter-in-law from her hometown, she knew that this woman was narrow-minded and might be difficult to get along with.
But we have just met, and we are still in the stage of being friendly with each other.
It was time for dinner, and after seeing that everyone had greeted them, Mother Chu asked her brother-in-law and his family to sit down. "Let's eat first and chat while we eat!"
The Chu family’s dining table was a large round table that could seat ten people without feeling crowded, and the table was already filled with cold dishes.
Because this was the first time Chu's father had contact with his family after leaving his hometown for more than 20 years, Chu's mother did her best and prepared the best meals.
It was fine for other people, but when the little kid saw so many delicious foods, he cheered and pounced on them, grabbing the meat on the plate with both hands and stuffing it into his mouth.
Chu's father's brother, Chu Yinghao, laughed heartily, "Pidan, you can't do that! Others haven't eaten yet!"
Su Nian and Tang Xin looked at each other, remembered the plate of boiled chicken firmly, and decided not to touch it.
The child called Pi Dan was obviously used to being the boss at home and didn't take his grandfather's words to heart. After eating the boiled chicken, he went to catch prawns. He didn't even peel them, but put them directly in his mouth and chewed them, then spit out the residue.
Pi Dan was a little kid, so everyone just smiled. They probably thought Chu Beichen and his brothers had some thoughts, but they didn’t say anything. Relatives who had lost contact with each other had just met, so they still had to get along harmoniously.
Chu's mother was very smart and pretended not to see it. When she arranged the seats, she put Chu Yinghao's family together. Their children were surrounded in the middle and could not disturb others.
Chu's father hasn't seen his brothers for years, and now he is busy opening the wine and asking about the situation in his hometown. Although it was very unpleasant back then, blood is thicker than water after all, and he still misses his hometown!
Chu's mother was very efficient. After a while, she and Wu Lan brought the hot dishes to the table, and then sat down at the table, waiting to drink the reunion wine.
Chu Yinghao frowned, "Brother, are my sister-in-law and the others eating at the table too?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table was stunned. Su Nian and Wu Lan looked at each other, thinking, if we don’t eat here, where should we go to eat?
Father Chu was stunned and immediately remembered the situation in his hometown. In Father Chu's hometown, women had a very low status and did not sit at the table to eat. When it was time to eat, the women would prepare the food and then stand in front of the stove in the kitchen and eat casually.
"Haha, I have been away from my hometown for a long time, and your sister-in-law is also an outsider. Our family does not follow the rules of our hometown. No matter whether men or women, everyone in the family has to sit at the table to eat!" Father Chu was a little embarrassed and quickly explained to his brother!
Chu Yinghao was very unwilling. He glanced at Chu's mother's face, then looked at Su Nian and Wu Lan. He found that not only was Chu's mother sitting still, but the two cousins' wives looked as if it was a matter of course. Not only did they keep eating the food in small mouthfuls, but they also huddled together and whispered to each other.
Seeing Chu Yinghao's expression of looking for trouble, his son Dahai slammed the table and said to his wife Xiaomei, "The women in my uncle's family don't follow the rules. Don't you know the rules either?"
