Half an hour later, a steaming copper pot was placed on the dining table. People in northern Beijing like to use clear water as the base of hot pot. Ginger, scallion segments, wolfberry, etc. are added to the clear water, and some mushrooms and dried shrimps are added. Although the soup is not thick, it tastes unique.

Chen Subai was very good at cutting, and asked him to cut the mutton into thin slices and put it on the plate, and put the cabbage leaves and potatoes on the side. Xie Yunshu found a few pieces of ham that he had bought at the supermarket some time ago, cut them and put them in front of Xixi.

"If you don't like the taste of mutton, this is also delicious."

"I love ham the most!"

Xixi immediately smiled and pinched a piece and put it in her mouth: "Auntie is so nice."

Li Chuchu didn't know what she felt. She sat next to Xixi uncomfortably and explained, "We can just go home and eat later."

Xixi pouted: "Mom, I like hot pot. The hot pot at my aunt's house is delicious!"

Li Chuchu has always doted on her daughter and was reluctant to let her watch, so she said, "Then you eat it, and we'll go home and eat later."

Xie Yunshu didn't persuade her, and Shen Subai didn't say anything either. They both took their own small bowls and placed them in front of themselves. Li Chuchu sat there alone, watching the three of them eat hot pot. She felt even more uncomfortable...

Shen Subai poured the prepared sesame sauce into the bowls in front of Xie Yunshu and Qianqian before speaking slowly: "Second sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

Li Chuchu's expression became more serious: "Cheng Jiangnan came to see you today."

Cheng Jiangnan?

Shen Subai paused, his eyes turned colder: "What did you say?"

Dong naturally knew this name, but Xie Yunshu had never heard of it. However, looking at the expressions of the two children, he could guess that this Cheng was not a good person.

Li Chuchu subconsciously glanced at Xie Yunshu before speaking: "놖's dance costume was torn by Zhao Yujiao, and 놛 said that she could help 놖 contact a double-sided embroidery master, on the condition that she could help 놛 ease the relationship."

The Cheng family and the Shen family are political enemies. As a member of the Shen family, how could Li Chuchu not know? Even if she didn't care much about these things at ordinary times, the day she married Shen Wufei, she acquiesced to her own position and the position of the Li family.

It is difficult not to take sides in this circle. She and Shen Wufei got married because of love, but it must be said that the Li family has already stood on the Shen family's camp.

Even if she tried every means to outdo Xie Yunshu, even if she wanted to shine on the Spring Festival Gala stage, she was first and foremost a member of the Shen family, and there was absolutely no way she would betray the Shen family because of a dance costume.

Shen Subai was not surprised by Li Chuchu's behavior, and smiled sarcastically: "The Cheng family is only capable of this."

Xie Yunshu asked in a low voice: "Who is Cheng Jiangnan?"

She had just been married for a few months and her social circle was all in Haicheng, so she naturally didn't know. But because of this sentence, Li Chuchu straightened her back a little more, and her tone inexplicably became a little more proud: "The Cheng family and our Shen family have always been at odds, they are our enemies!"

Xie Yunshu didn't know, but she knew that this meant that her status as the second daughter-in-law in the Shen family was still high for the time being.

"Enemy?" Xie Yunshu understood now. Cheng Jiangnan had heard from somewhere that Li Chuchu's dance costume was broken, and used this as a condition to win her over, and wanted to use Li Chuchu to infiltrate the Shen family.

놙But 놛 didn't expect that Li Chuchu turned around and told Shen Subai everything.

Li Chuchu was more confident: "That's why I came here to tell you, to make you pay attention. You must not know that the Cheng family has a grandson who is also an architectural designer and now works at the Beijing North Architecture Institute. He has always wanted to become Song Zhangran's apprentice, but Master Song said a few years ago that he would no longer accept students, and he has trained his granddaughter for so many years. But this year he announced to the public that he accepted you as a student..."

Don't think she couldn't hear it. Cheng Jiangnan's words today were meant to sow discord between her and the third brother and his wife.

Her relationship with Xie Yunshu was not good, but that was because she was jealous of Xie Yunshu, not because she had something with Xie Yunshu!

No matter how the sisters-in-law don't get along with each other, it has nothing to do with outsiders!

Li Chuchu does have this awareness.

Xie Yunshu thanked him sincerely: "I understand, sister-in-law."

Xixi was in a childish state and didn't listen to what her elder brother said at all. She quickly ate two mouthfuls of rice, put on her hat and went out to play on the swing: "Mom, I want to play for a while longer!"

Li Chuchu frowned: "It's snowing heavily outside, I'm going to catch a cold soon!"

Xie Yunshu took out a scarf and gloves from a drawer and put them on her: "It's not that cold when it snows, let her play for a while."

Li Chuchu stopped talking. She came here after picking up Xixi and hadn't eaten yet.

The hot pot was still steaming, and Shen Subai picked out the mutton from it and put it in Xie Yunshu's bowl: "If you cook it for a while longer, the meat will be tough, it's just right to eat it now."

Xie Yunshu, in turn, picked up some meat for 놛: "You should eat more too, 놖 is a little full."

Shen Subai didn't disdain the remaining meat and vegetables in her bowl, he took them and poured them into his own bowl.

Li Chuchu turned her face away. Aren't she and Shen Wufei so loving and affectionate? Although Shen Wufei was a rough guy in front of outsiders, when he had two wives, the big guy especially liked to hug her and act coquettishly, like a rolling bear, always making her weak all over...

But, it seems like those days haven't happened for a long time.

She couldn't even remember how long they had been in a cold war. Even when she was on a mission this time, she didn't call her once.

놛's mission location is confidential and uncertain, and if 놛 doesn't contact her, she won't even know where 놛 is.

Thinking of this, Li Chuchu couldn't sit still any longer, she stood up and said, "Go out and see Xixi."

What's more, the couple in the 그 family were full, but she was still hungry!

Xie Yunshu called her: "Second sister-in-law, there is still some meat and cabbage, you can put them in the pot and cook them, and then go to see Xixi."

Li Chuchu stopped and bit her tongue: "I'm not hungry."

Unfortunately, just as she finished speaking, her stomach growled. She looked embarrassed and tried to make excuses for herself: "I still have to dance and maintain my weight, so I don't feel like eating tonight."

If the eldest sister-in-law was here, she would definitely advise her: "You are already very thin, it doesn't matter if you eat less, but you can't starve yourself."

If Shen Wufei were here, he would also say to her: "Do you want to eat? If not, I'll feed you!"

But Xie Yunshu nodded: "Okay then, if you don't want to eat it, let Su Bai eat it all. It won't taste good if it's left overnight."

Li Chuchu was angry. Why is this happening? Can't you give her a little more advice? !

She didn't know whether to leave or not, so she just stood there for a while before turning back reluctantly: "Eating too much mutton will cause indigestion, Su Bai ate a lot..."
