A noble嫡女 (legitimate daughter of a high-ranking official) is framed and falls to the borderlands, losing her memory and becoming a farmer's wife. Su Nanxi arrives with a space (a mystical ...
Since watching the group of people move to town, the Mo family, including the old couple, lost their appetite for cooking. They sent Mo Yunhai's family back first and had a simple lunch.
They weren't in the mood to eat!
The slaughtered chickens, ducks and geese were thrown into the pot and simmered over a low flame. They weren't in a hurry, since Su Su and San'er hadn't returned yet!
After cleaning up the mess, the two were exhausted and had no appetite. Seeing the washed vegetables on the side, they stir-fried two plates and then called the Zhou family over to eat.
Help yourself to as much food as you want, don't be shy!
The Zhou family didn't say anything. They understood what was going on and felt terrible. They had come to their younger sister's house to visit and thank her, but things had turned out like this. It was all their fault!
They had no right to complain. It was already a favor that my sister didn't kick them out. If she called them to eat, they should just eat obediently!
well!
I suspect something else will happen after the people who went to town return!
My heart is pounding, and I can't swallow, but I have to force myself to swallow so that my sister doesn't feel disgusted by them!
Anything I say now will be wrong; I'll explain properly later!
If we had been more resolute back then and gone back directly, this wouldn't have happened!
Oh no! There's going to be another argument when I get back!
The second and third sons weren't like this before. How come they gradually changed after getting wives, and became more and more outrageous!
He can't control his wife, and he can't control himself!
The eldest Zhou family felt guilty, but the second and third Zhou brothers were carefree and didn't feel anything was wrong. After all, it wasn't their fault, so why should they feel guilty? They just went about their business!
So when they saw there were only two plates of vegetables, their faces immediately fell. They came to the Mo family to eat meat, not vegetables!
If they want to eat vegetables, why would they travel so far? Don't they eat them at home?
Although there aren't many green vegetables at home, there are wild vegetables too. They're not lacking in vegetables; what they lack is meat, meat!
They shamelessly followed us, just to have a meal of meat, a dish that was all meat!
Zhou Lao Er said unhappily, "Yu Qing, didn't you kill chickens and ducks? Why didn't you serve us anything after you finished? There are only two plates of vegetables, how can that be enough?"
Zhou Laosan muttered, "Yes! We want to eat meat! They haven't come back yet, so let's scoop some up first and eat it, leaving some for them. We can't wait for them to come back to eat!"
Grandma Mo didn't really want to talk. She felt exhausted. After a while, she said indifferently, "Didn't your children throw away all the meat? I thought you didn't want to eat it, so I didn't cook it and just left it soaking in the pot! Anyway, I don't know how to cook it well. My third daughter-in-law usually cooks it! She's not here, and we can't wait for her to come back. If we're hungry, we'll just make do with this and eat some vegetables with rice!"
Zhou Lao Er and Zhou Lao San completely ignored what was said before and only heard what was said after. They were very unhappy. If they didn't know how to cook something delicious, they should at least cook something. As long as it was meat!
Why didn't they cook anything? They didn't want to cook, and besides, they didn't know how to cook it well. But they really wanted to eat it. They were so unwilling to not get to eat meat!
Suddenly, Zhou Lao Er remembered that Qin Shi was still in the house, so he said to Mo Lao Tai, "Yu Qing, isn't your eldest daughter-in-law at home too? If you don't know how to cook, why don't you ask your eldest daughter-in-law to do it? You can't spoil your daughter-in-law too much. You are the mother-in-law, and it is their duty to serve you. You need to set some rules for them, otherwise they won't dare to climb over you!"
Hearing this, Old Mrs. Mo was very unhappy. What, was it not enough to talk about her, now she was talking about her eldest daughter-in-law too? She was meddling in other people's business!
Her family affairs are none of anyone else's business, not even her eldest brother!
You can't even manage your own home, yet you have the nerve to meddle in other people's affairs!
What a joke!
Her eldest daughter-in-law is not feeling well and needs someone to take care of her. What is she thinking, wanting to order her around to do chores?
There are only two plates of vegetables anyway, take it or leave it!
Old Mo couldn't stand it anymore. He had heard that Zhou Laosan's daughter-in-law had deliberately kept his eldest daughter-in-law chatting and had even given her son the stool she was sitting on to play with, making his eldest daughter-in-law stand for a long time!
Pooh!
Such a vicious mind! Anyone with eyes could see that the eldest daughter-in-law was in a bad mood, yet she still did this!
They still expect their eldest daughter-in-law to come out and cook for them? They're just asking for trouble!
Look at that cow!
The Mo family doesn't care that guests must bring gifts, but a sense of conscience is essential!
Otherwise, don't come to the Mo family and bring trouble to them!
Su Su was furious. It would be difficult to handle the situation if she came back. If Su Su didn't want these relatives anymore, they wouldn't want them either!
"Second brother, I've been a mother-in-law for so many years, I know what to do, you don't need to teach me, you've never been a mother-in-law before! My eldest daughter-in-law isn't feeling well and needs to rest, I gave her special permission to stay in bed! There are so many of us here, how can we not take good care of you!"
Old Lady Mo was defending the Qin family in every word she said, and she was very impolite to Zhou Lao Er!
Zhou Lao Er choked, wanting to say something, but was cut off by Old Madam Mo, "We're afraid the Mo family can't entertain you any longer. Eat your fill, and go back as soon as they return! Although there are only vegetables, at least you'll be full. Eat more, or you'll be too weak to walk later!"
Old Zhou frowned. Even if there really was no meat, the meat that had fallen on the ground could still be eaten after being picked up, washed, and cleaned.
Where did all that meat go?
The meat was all cooked and ready to eat; his grandson ate several pieces!
It smells wonderful!
It would be such a waste to throw it away! Just wash it, stir-fry it in a pan, and it's ready to eat!
It's better than just eating a few pieces of green vegetable now!
Look, so many people, and only two plates of vegetables. Each person takes one bite and it's gone!
He hasn't even started eating yet, and it's almost empty. How is he supposed to eat that?!
Zhou Laosan thought so, and he told Mo Lao and his wife the same thing: he wanted to eat that meat!
I heard that the meat was bought from a shop or restaurant in town, so it must be delicious!
Grandma Mo thought for a moment and said to Zhou Laosan, "Oh! That meat is in a wooden barrel outside, covered in mud and sand, and hasn't been cleaned yet. If you want to eat it, go and get it ready!"
What?
Let him handle it?
Zhou Laosan was dumbfounded. He had no idea how to do it. Besides, it was all mud and sand, which would definitely be difficult to clean. Why did they ask him to do it all by himself?
He's a guest at the Mo family's house, how can we let a guest do these chores? Isn't that what the host should do?
He's just here to eat meat!
I'm not here to work!
Old Mo said, "We don't have time to do it, and we don't know how to do it. We'll have to wait for Su Su to come back to find out!"
Grandma Mo also said, "That's right! When guests are guests, they should make do with what the host provides! It's not that we don't want you to eat, otherwise we wouldn't have gone out of our way to spend so much money to buy it!"
Zhou Laosan was furious. Why was it so difficult for him to eat some meat?
"What kind of soup did you bring into the house just now? It looked like egg drop soup!"
