Chapter 174 Is she pregnant?

Wu Caifeng's expression turned very bad.

But we can't just kick the mother and daughter out, or who knows what kind of trouble they'll cause!

Wu Caifeng then placed the scrambled eggs with scallions onto the inner pot before speaking to Zhang Fenfen, "Why are you here now?"

Zhang Fenfen said sarcastically, "Can't you smell the fragrance?"

As she spoke, she shoved Zhou Bing next to her, saying, "Look at your grandma, she saw you coming and hid the good food."

Zhou Bing immediately protested, putting his hands on his hips and saying, "Grandma, I want to eat eggs. I'm the grandson of this family, so I should be the one to eat the good food."

Zhang Fenfen was very satisfied with what her son said.

As expected of her son, he's quite the talker.

Unlike some silly kids who can't be coaxed out of their mouths even after being hit three times.

"Slap!" Zhou Bing received a slap on the back of the head.

"Respect the elderly and cherish the young. Kong Rong knew how to yield to others at the age of seven. Have you wasted your time reading books?" Zhou Lin scolded as he passed by Zhou Bing.

Zhou Bing covered the back of his head, shrank closer to Zhang Fenfen, and argued somewhat aggrievedly, "I haven't studied it."

Zhou Lin sat down under the stove and looked him over. "Aren't you nine years old?"

"How could you not have learned it?"

When this topic came up, neither Zhang Fenfen nor Zhou Bing could open their mouths.

Because Zhou Bing is still in first grade, he has already repeated two grades of first grade.

In the end, Wu Caifeng helped him out by saying, "He's repeated a grade."

Zhou Lin glanced back at his nephew, not afraid of offending Zhang Fenfen, and asked, "So, what's good for you to eat?"

"What's the point of eating it?"

"It's good enough that you have white noodles to eat."

“Look at your aunt. When she was little, she didn’t have enough to eat. In winter, she didn’t have warm clothes to wear, and her hands were covered in chilblains. She even brought pickled vegetables to school. Look at her, she can still go to university.”

Zhou Bing retorted, "I'm a man, so I should be able to eat well."

Zhang Fenfen taught him all of this.

But Zhou Lin wanted to laugh when he heard that, and he did laugh. "Who told you that?"

"My mom!"

"Did your dad eat all the good food at home?" Zhou Lin asked again.

Zhou Bing thought for a moment and shook his head.

"Your dad is a man too, why don't you give him some?"

“My dad saves money on food for me,” Zhou Bing said.

"Because you're a boy?" Zhou Lin asked.

Zhou Bing really couldn't be sure, so he could only look to Zhang Fenfen.

Before Zhang Fenfen could even open her mouth, Zhou Lin's face had already turned cold. "A man is someone who makes you responsible, dependable, able to support your family and make a living, not someone who shamelessly does worthless things."

"You're almost ten years old. Don't say you're immature. You can understand both good and bad things. Stop learning those nonsensical things all day long."

Zhang Fenfen was unhappy; wasn't this directed at her?

"Second brother, what do you mean by these words?"

Just as Zhou Lin was about to speak, Wu Caifeng stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Hey, go back and call the eldest brother. Let's all eat together here tonight!"

Zhang Fenfen glared at Zhou Lin again before turning and leaving.

Zhou Bing didn't dare stay with Zhou Lin, so he ran away with her.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Lin couldn't help but say to Wu Caifeng, "She raised the child like this, aren't you and your older brother going to say anything about it?"

"He's not young anymore. At his age, what can't he understand?"

Wu Caifeng sighed, "You know your sister-in-law's temper. She's just as temperamental as Zhizhi was before."

Zhou Lin fell silent after hearing just that one sentence.

Zhou Lin, as the person involved, has a very deep impression of what Zhizhi was like before.

"Don't rush to cook. I'll go cut some salted meat and pick some garlic sprouts from the backyard. I'll also knead some dough later so we can eat a little later."

"By the way, is Zhizhi hungry?"

"How about I make her a bowl of sweet egg soup first?"

Zhou Lin immediately stood up. "Then you cook it. I'll go to the backyard to pick garlic sprouts. Where did you put the meat? I'll go cut it."

"Xiao Chan and I sleep in that room."

Zhou Lin nodded and went out.

Wu Caifeng quickly cleared the pot and started cooking the sweet egg soup. When she went to the main room to get brown sugar, she didn't forget to call Zhou Chan, "Xiao Chan, don't sit there, come to the kitchen. When the sweet egg soup is ready, bring it to your second sister-in-law."

"Zhizhi, have two sweet egg soups first to fill your stomach. Your sister-in-law and brother are coming over too, so dinner will be a little later," Wu Caifeng said to Zhizhi, feeling embarrassed.

Although Zhizhi didn't want to eat with Zhang Fenfen, Zhang Fenfen was both a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and she couldn't refuse to let her eat her mother-in-law's cooking, so she nodded.

But she said, "Mom, I'm not hungry, we can all eat together!"

But Wu Caifeng still managed to boil the eggs quickly.

Three eggs were laid in total. Wu Caifeng quickly scooped two into a bowl and had Zhou Chan take them to the main room for Zhizhi. The remaining one was put in the pot to shut Zhang Fenfen up.

Just as Zhou Chan was carrying a bowl out of the kitchen, Zhou Hai came over with Zhang Fenfen, Zhou Bing, and their family of three.

Zhou Hai was carrying two potatoes when he reached the kitchen door and said to Wu Caifeng awkwardly, "Mom, is this enough food for you?"

“I was cooking when Fenzi told me to call her over for dinner. I was thinking I wouldn’t cook this dish tonight, so I brought it over.”

"...Okay, okay, let's add another dish."

Actually, Zhou Hai wanted to bring a few more eggs, but Zhang Fenfen wouldn't let him bring any, which caused the delay; otherwise, they would have arrived much earlier.

Wu Caifeng listened to her eldest son's words, glanced at her eldest daughter-in-law behind him, lowered her eyelids and said, "I really didn't prepare anything for my second son's return. I barely managed to put together two dishes. Of course, it would be good if you could add one more."

Zhou Hai was pleased to hear this, and said, "Then I'll help you."

Seeing that Zhou Chan had just taken something out of the kitchen, Zhang Fenfen hurriedly tried to go to the main room.

But Wu Caifeng didn't want her to go, so she called out, "Dinner will be late later, so I cooked a sweet egg soup for Xiaobing. You can serve it for him, and I'll knead some more dough."

Upon hearing that there was sweet egg soup, Zhang Fenfen couldn't move her feet.

There was only one egg, but the bowl of sweet soup was too full to hold it all. Zhang Fenfen slurped up the sweet soup with a spoon by the stove.

When Zhou Lin returned, she was still slurping.

Upon seeing Zhou Lin, she suddenly realized, "This sweet egg soup wasn't just for my little soldier, was it?"

Wu Caifeng did not respond to these words, which angered Zhang Fenfen so much that she threw down her spoon.

Zhou Hai immediately stood up, glanced at the pot, and only after confirming that it was alright did he snap at Zhang Fenfen, "What are you doing?"

Zhang Fenfen got even angrier: "We're all daughters-in-law, but she gets to eat sweet soup eggs while I'm destined to just slurp up sweet soup?

As Wu Caifeng kneaded the dough, she couldn't help but say, "You were pregnant and had a miscarriage, so I'll give you eggs to eat too."

"My second son's wife is pregnant and rarely home. It's not too much for her to eat two eggs from me, is it?"

"She's pregnant?"

When Wu Caifeng told Zhang Fenfen about Zhizhi's pregnancy, Zhang Fenfen wasn't there, so she only found out now.

"I didn't mean..."

She looked up and met Zhou Lin's icy gaze, then chose to remain silent.

But after a while, he couldn't help but mutter, "It's true what they say, distance makes things better. This person at home remembers exactly how many eggs they ate."

"Don't you remember clearly? Aren't you the one who tells others how many eggs they eat?" These were the words of Zhou Lin.

Zhang Fenfen glanced at him, and although she was annoyed, she didn't say anything more.

Instead, he walked over to Zhou Bing and helped him pick up his bowl, saying, "Come on, let's eat in the main room."

She figured Zhizhi probably hadn't finished eating and was leaving quickly, so she might be able to get a sweet egg soup.

Zhou Bing had just taken a bite of the sweet egg soup when it was taken away, and he immediately yelled in pain.
