Apocalypse overlord Yang Baiyi, while leading a team to clear out zombies, perished along with the zombie king.
When she awoke again, she found herself in a mourning hall, surrounded by relat...
Wang Tiemei's words put the whole audience in an awkward position.
There were ten people sitting at the main table, including Xiao Qingyang and his wife, the elderly couple Zhou Qianxiang and Chai Sujuan, Zhou Fugui and his wife Pan Xia, Lin Tieshan and his wife, and the only young people were Xiao Fuxing and Zhou Fengying.
Of course, as long as Yang Baiyi was willing, there would definitely be a seat for him at the main table, but Yang Baiyi refused and took the initiative to sit at the table with young people.
This way he would feel more comfortable eating and drinking, and he often did this when he was in Chenjiatun.
Everyone looked at each other, as if it was inappropriate for anyone to stand up, and adding two more stools would make it too crowded.
"Brother Xiao, who are these two?"
Lin Tieshan didn't know Zhou Ronghua and Wang Tiemei. When they were introducing them just now, Lin Tieshan found that Zhou Fengying's parents were not there. He thought that Zhou Fengying's parents had passed away.
"These are Fengying's parents. They were delayed by something and only came here now."
Xiao Qingyang's face was cold and expressionless.
"Waiter, please add two chairs."
Xiao Qingyang has always been a warm-hearted person, and he always does things in a thoughtful and courteous manner.
Seeing that he was so cold to his own in-laws, Lin Tieshan concluded that there must be something he didn't know.
But after all, they are Brother Xiao's in-laws, and we can't just leave them there forever.
The waiter brought two chairs over, but there was no extra space on the table. The waiter looked around but didn't know where to put the chairs.
Zhou Ronghua and his wife were embarrassed, and the waiter was sweating profusely, but the people sitting at the main table were as steady as a rock. No one took the initiative to move their chairs to make room for the two of them.
Lin Tieshan had never seen such a scene before, and he wondered what the couple had done to anger the heavens and the people that made the whole family dislike them.
If Wang Tiemei hadn't been thinking about her second son's future job, she really wanted to turn around and leave. It was so embarrassing.
"Wow~~"
At this moment, the little guy in Zhou Fengying's arms suddenly let out a loud cry.
"Junjun might be hungry. I'll go feed him."
"I'll go see if Junjun has peed."
The young couple took their child to the lounge nearby, where Zhou Ronghua and Wang Tiemei finally had a place to sit.
The waiter also breathed a sigh of relief and quickly served clean dishes to the two newcomers.
"In-laws, let me pour you a glass of wine."
Xiao Fuxing had been pouring the wine just now. Now that Xiao Fuxing had left, Xiao Qingyang, as the host, picked up the bottle.
"Brother Xiao, let me pour it."
Zhou Fugui took the bottle of wine with great tact and filled Zhou Ronghua with wine.
Xiao Fuxing poured the wine because he was the only junior at the main table. Zhou Fugui, as the bride's second uncle, could accept it, but there was no way Zhou Fugui could drink it if such a high-ranking leader of his in-laws poured the wine.
"My dear, Commander Lin, I'm late, so I'll have a drink as punishment!"
Zhou Ronghua picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, as if the embarrassment just now had never existed.
"Come, my dear, this is our first meeting. Welcome to Luoshui City. I'll toast you a glass."
"Commander Lin, I've long heard of your name. Today, thanks to our in-laws, I'm honored to have the opportunity to sit down and dine with you. I'll toast you a glass."
As soon as he sat down, Zhou Ronghua tried his best to perform, striving to leave a good impression in the minds of the two leaders. If he had a good relationship, he would be able to gain benefits for himself in the future.
Zhou Ronghua is just a little patriarchal and henpecked, but he is not a fool. He knows that if you want to beg for food, you must have a begging attitude. You can't beg for food by just standing there.
"Mother-in-law, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but this is my first time eating at such a nice restaurant, and I can't even name many of the dishes.
"My father-in-law is such a high-ranking leader, you should often eat at such high-end restaurants, right?"
Wang Tiemei also wanted to learn from her man and please her in-laws more.
"Mother-in-law, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say anything you want. No matter what rank you are, your monthly supply is fixed.
Our Lao Xiao has a decent character and is an honest official, but he doesn't have the spare money to eat at high-end restaurants every day."
Mu Xue's face suddenly turned cold.
The trend has not yet passed. If you say something wrong, someone might make a big fuss about it. The Xiao family has suffered a big setback because of this in the past.
Although she now has a grandson and is not afraid of these unorthodox ways, Mu Xue is still very wary of this as she believes that once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of the rope for ten years.
"If you can't talk, just shut up. Can't all these delicious foods fill your mouth?"
Chai Sujuan quickly scolded her eldest daughter-in-law for her ignorant words.
She knew that her eldest daughter-in-law wanted to please her mother-in-law, but she was not as smooth as her eldest son. A good word would have a different meaning when it came out of her mouth.
"Yes, yes, don't be angry, mother-in-law. I haven't been to school for a few days and I can't speak. Don't be like me."
Wang Tiemei also knew that she had said the wrong thing and that her flattery had backfired, so she quickly lowered her head and stopped talking.
There are delicious meals on the table, and I will have to pay the bill later. I bought them with my own money, so it would be a shame if I don’t eat a few bites.
After that, Wang Tiemei became silent, not saying a word and just focusing on eating with her head down.
On the male side, Zhou Ronghua tried his best to liven up the atmosphere.
Xiao Qingyang has no right to forgive anything on behalf of his daughter-in-law. It is his daughter-in-law who has been hurt. How to deal with the relationship with her parents' family in the future is entirely up to her to decide.
But you shouldn't hit someone who smiles at you. Zhou Ronghua tried to please him in every way and didn't make any excessive demands, so Xiao Qingyang didn't give him the cold shoulder anymore.
Zhou Fengying coaxed her son to sleep and put him on the bed in the lounge, then returned to the banquet hall with Xiao Fuxing.
"Fengying, can you come home tomorrow? Your mother and I miss you."
For the first time, Zhou Ronghua spoke to his daughter in a less assertive manner, and there was even a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"Dad, before I took the jeep to visit grandma, did you ever think about me? Maybe you even forgot that you had a daughter like me?"
The belated family affection is cheaper than grass. Zhou Fengying was not moved at all by Zhou Ronghua's image as a loving father at this time, and even felt a little disgusted.
"Fengying, you are my flesh and blood. How could we really not miss you?"
Wang Tiemei put down her chopsticks, raised her face from the plate, and said hypocritically.
"What do you want me to do? Do you want me to cook and wash the dishes? Or do you want me to do the laundry and sweep the floor? You're not used to having one less servant at home, are you?"
Zhou Fengying thought about her experiences at home since childhood and tears fell down.
"What girl doesn't do housework? My mother did the same when she was little.
If you don't know how to do anything and don't work hard, you will be looked down upon by your in-laws."
After saying this, Wang Tiemei turned her gaze to Mu Xue and Liang Fengxia, hoping to gain their approval.
"Mother-in-law, that's your own idea. We don't have the habit of torturing our daughters-in-law."
"Yes! Whoever has time should do the housework, and whoever gets off work early should cook. We are not evil mothers-in-law who let our daughters-in-law do all the housework."
Obviously, Wang Tiemei's views were not recognized by the two.
