Chapter 290 Mom doesn’t eat, Mom doesn’t crave
"I'm sorry, Hongmei. I'm a nagging mother and I don't know how to control my words." Qian Lan sent Gu Hongmei to the door and apologized to her.
Gu Hongmei smiled and shook her head, "It's okay, but I have learned a lot today. Sister Qian, you will have a hard time these days." As she said this, she patted Qian Lan's shoulder sympathetically.
Although Qian Lan was determined not to give in, it was still very annoying to have such a mother-in-law living at home.
Qian Lan shook her head and smiled bitterly, it was hard to put it into words.
In the main room, Yu Qiang was talking to his mother, "Mom, what did you just say?"
"What's wrong?" Bao Pandi said, spreading his hands. "These days, it's rare for one person in a family to get divorced, but she's had two divorces. Isn't it just that there's something wrong with the feng shui of the family's ancestral tomb?"
"Does it make them feel good just because they're divorced? Wouldn't it embarrass them if you said something like that in front of them?"
"I..." Bao Pandi's voice faded, "I didn't mean that, and I didn't think too much about it."
"Mother-in-law, what you are talking about is feng shui of ancestral graves. You are engaging in feudal superstition. You shouldn't talk about such things." Yu Jianshe said seriously with a stern face.
Uncle Gu and Aunt Gu are both very good people, and he was very unhappy that his mother-in-law said that about them.
"Jianshe is right," Yu Qiang agreed. "Your superstitious words have an impact on me too."
When Bao Pandi heard that this was feudal superstition and would affect his son, he quickly said, "No more, no more, I won't say it anymore."
When Gu Hongmei returned home, the mutton soup in the casserole was boiling, and the dishes to be eaten were already placed on the small table.
"I've finally seen how fussy Sister Qian is."
"What's wrong?" Gu Huai took the bowl and poured himself some seasoning.
Gu Hongmei sat down around the stove and said, "When I arrived, Brother Yu introduced me to his mother. He asked me how old I was, and I said I was 24."
"She asked me if I was married. I said I was married and divorced. She then asked if there was something wrong with the feng shui of our ancestral grave. We should both be divorced."
Gu Huai: "..."
His mother tongue is speechless.
Yu Hui smiled and shook her head. "This old lady is really good at talking. How could she say such things in front of someone?"
I don't know if she did it on purpose or if she was just naturally careless with her words.
Gu Huai glanced at Yu Hui and said with a smile, "If you say that the feng shui of our ancestral grave was a problem during the divorce, it's because the feng shui of our ancestral grave is good. It allowed us to divorce the wrong person and not spend our whole lives in an unsuitable marriage."
Anyway, he felt that it was the blessing of his ancestors that allowed him to divorce Lin Siyu and marry Xiaohui.
Yu Hui thought Gu Huai was trying to comfort Gu Hongmei, so she said, "Your brother is right."
Gu Hongmei looked at her brother and sister-in-law, smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, that's right."
The delicious mutton soup pot will warm you up as soon as you take a bite.
The Gu family was eating enthusiastically in the kitchen, and so was the Yu family.
Qian Lan’s stewed meat is also delicious, but everyone prefers the delicious mutton.
The mutton was stewed for a long time and was very soft and tender. The lamb chops fell off the bones with a single sip. The soup was fresh and delicious, and even the radish cooked in it was sweet and tasty.
Pan Di also likes this mutton soup dumpling. He ate three pieces of mutton with skin and a lamb chop in a row.
After slurping the soup on the lamb chops, she looked up and saw Qian Lan still eating the lamb, and her face turned unhappy.
She no longer ate mutton or stewed meat, but just ate plain rice.
Yu Qiang's mouth was full of oil. He turned around and saw that his mother didn't pick up any vegetables, so he picked up a piece of mutton and put it in her bowl.
"Mom, you eat meat."
Bao Pandi took the meat out and put it into Yu Qiang's bowl. "Mom, don't eat it. Mom, don't be greedy. If I eat less meat, my son and grandson can have more meat."
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent, and even the chewing sounds stopped.
The two brothers Yu Jianshe looked at their father and mother, then at their mother-in-law. Why did they feel that what the mother-in-law said was so strange?
Qian Lan was stunned at first, but then she understood that they were picking her up because she ate a lot of meat.
It's not like the family can't afford meat. There's so much meat on the table, and yet you're doing this. You really must feel unhappy when you see her eat one more bite of meat, right?
She ate the meat she bought with her own money and the mutton her partner gave her as a gift for her sake.
Not only does she want to eat, she wants to eat more.
Yu Qiang felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and couldn't help but think of his childhood when his mother would save all the delicious food for him and his younger brothers and sisters.
"Mom, life is better now, and we don't need a piece of meat. You don't have to be like before and leave the good food for us."
As he said that, he picked up a few more pieces of meat and put them into his mother's bowl.
"Qiangzi~"
"Mom~"
The mother and son looked at each other with emotion.
"Baji, baji..."
The sound of smacking lips and chewing came at an inopportune moment, interrupting the tender affection between mother and son.
Yu Qiang and Bao Pandi both looked at Qian Lan. When they saw her sucking on the lamb chops, the muscles on Bao Pandi's cheeks twitched uncontrollably.
Can't this greedy woman hear that I'm pointing at her?
Anyone who knows a thing or two would know that if they heard that the mother-in-law would leave the meat for her husband and children, they would not eat the meat.
"Why are you looking at me?" Qian Lan blinked and said, "Eat quickly, this mutton won't taste good if it's cold."
"I haven't eaten mutton for a long time. This mutton is so delicious. I'm craving it so much."
"Jianshe, Lixin, eat quickly, or your mother will eat it all up."
As Qian Lan spoke, she put some mutton in the bowls of the two children.
Yu Jianshe & Yu Lixin: I always feel like something is weird, but my brain is spinning like crazy and I still can’t figure out what went wrong.
Bao Panddi's face turned dark. This eldest daughter-in-law was deliberately going against her!
Yu Qiang didn't notice the lawsuit between his mother and his wife. Seeing how his wife ate, he said, "Mutton is really delicious. Mom likes it too. You can learn from Xiao Yu and buy some mutton to cook next time."
When Bao Pandi heard this, she said, "Mutton is so expensive. I don't want to eat it. I'm not greedy."
Qian Lan: "Okay, I'll go buy it tomorrow. I'm greedy."
Bao Pandi: “…”
Yu Qiang noticed that Qian Lan's tone was not right. He frowned and looked at her for a while, but did not point it out. He planned to talk to her in the evening.
After dinner, Yu Jianshe and Yu Lixin collected the dishes and washed them.
Bao Pandi was picking his teeth with a bamboo stick he had scraped off the broom. Seeing this, he quickly stopped him and said, "Put it down, put it down. Let your mother take it away. A man with no skills is not fit to do such things."
Yu Jianshe said: "Mom works very hard to cook, so it's only right for us to wash the dishes."
"What do you mean by 'should'? This kind of work is for women." Bao Pandi said, looking at Qian Lan and scolding her. "Qian Lan, you're the same. You let your children do these chores just to be lazy. If this gets out, won't people laugh at Jianshe and Lixin?"
