Her niece knows herself well. If she hadn't done anything shameful and her mother didn't want her niece to marry just anyone, she wouldn't have resorted to such a desperate measure.
On Wednesday, my aunt sat at the table and listened to what the clerk said with a little curiosity: "According to what you said, your boss is afraid of his wife?"
She deliberately raised her voice and said this to Old Lady Gu. She loved her own daughter so much that she loved her whole family. How could she bear to see her grandson being bullied by his grandson's wife?
The clerk who was questioned was embarrassed. She had spoken quietly enough, but she didn't expect that she was still heard.
She said nervously, "The boss is not afraid of the boss lady, he just loves her more."
"Loving your wife depends on how you do it. Your boss is busy outside every day. Since you are his pawn, you should fulfill your due responsibilities and serve your boss well." After saying this, Aunt Gu San looked at Old Lady Zhou to take credit.
Lu Aimin was a little unhappy, and suddenly felt that it was not worth it for Xu Ying. He looked at Aunt Gu San and said directly: "Aunt, what you said is true, our boss's wife is not idle.
Not only did she go to school while pregnant, she also worked in two large factories. Now, if this store did not have the recipes of the boss's wife, it would be unclear whether it could be opened.
Even if Huo Chen treated Xu Ying better, that was what he should do.
Huo Chen and Grandma Huo depended on each other for survival. Instead of trying to make trouble, it would be better to investigate what kind of life Huo Chen led before making any decision." Lu Aimin almost shouted out the last sentence.
If Huo Chen really started to treat Xu Ying badly because of his changed identity, he would look down on Huo Chen for the rest of his life.
Aunt Gu San's expression changed again and again. She thought Xu Ying was just a college student, but she didn't expect that she had a job.
But thinking of Huo Chen's past, she got a little angry: "Just because Xu Ying helped him before, can she take advantage of him and keep threatening him? This is too much."
"If that's true, it's really too much." Xu Ying came out carrying the steaming and smoking dishes. The smoke blocked her face, making it impossible to see her vague emotions.
When Old Lady Zhou saw her coming out, she glared at the third daughter-in-law angrily and said, "Shut up! It's not your turn to interfere with the lives of the young couple."
Aunt Zhou San was furious and said, "Mom, I'm doing this for Zhou Chen's own good."
"I think he's fine now." Old Mrs. Zhou said with disdain. The third son's wife would not do anything without a profit. It was a little abnormal that she suddenly acted like this today.
Thinking of this, she looked at the third daughter-in-law suspiciously: "Are you thinking of something else?"
Zhou Laosan's wife felt extremely guilty, but she still said, "Mom, how can you say that to me? I'm just concerned about Zhou Chen.
He suffered so much when he was young, and now that he finally comes back, we should take better care of him."
"Mom, let's eat. Look at Xu Ying's cooking skills. The dishes are so delicious." Aunt Zhou changed the subject with a smile.
Only then did Old Mrs. Zhou turn her attention to the dishes on the table. He was indeed a great chef. Each dish was not only exquisite but also smelled delicious.
Old man Zhou had been attracted by the aroma and couldn't help himself. As soon as the food was served, he began to eat it with big mouthfuls. While eating, he couldn't help but praise: "Oh, the food cooked by Yingying is so delicious.
No wonder those foreign guests like it so much! "When Old Man Zhou said this, the other members of the Zhou family were all puzzled.
On Wednesday, Auntie's face was even more strange: "Dad, are you kidding me? How could those foreign guests like the food she cooked? Besides, how could she possibly meet those foreign guests?"
Not to mention that Zhou San's aunt didn't believe it, even Zhou San's uncle didn't believe it. Nowadays, all domestic talks and cooperation with foreign guests are conducted in the exhibition hall of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. How could a little girl like Xu Ying possibly enter there, let alone cook for them.
Old man Zhou's face suddenly became long, but it was a pity that he didn't take the newspaper today.
"This old man is not joking. Our boss lady has cooked for foreign guests. Have you all watched TV? Even if you haven't watched TV, you should have read the newspaper.
Our boss's wife has been featured in newspapers and on TV." The little girl pouted, not liking the boss's relatives at all.
They pretend to be a wealthy family, but they are too uninformed and know nothing no matter what you ask.
On Wednesday, my aunt looked suspicious and looked at the waitress, a little unconvinced: "You can't joke about this, little girl."
"Of course I know I can't joke, but what I said is true."
Old man Zhou looked at his youngest son with an angry face: "He is still a leader, but I don't know what he is busy doing every day. He doesn't pay attention to national affairs at all."
Uncle Zhou felt puzzled. Even if his nephew's wife cooked for the foreign guests, it could not be considered a national event.
When my aunt heard this on Wednesday, she burst out laughing: "Dad, it's just cooking a meal, how come it has become a national event?"
Aunt Zhou Er, who had been silent all this time, suddenly looked at Xu Ying with surprise and asked, "You are not the Minister Xu in the newspaper, are you? Xiao Xu, Xu Ying, oh, it really is you.
You looked so bad in that photo, we didn’t even recognize you.”
Aunt Zhou Er's eyes changed instantly when she looked at Xu Ying. She said with admiration: "Sister-in-law, this girl is the little Minister Xu!"
Aunt Zhou looked a little dazed. When she thought about the newspaper photo she saw at that time and the current Xu Ying, they really looked almost the same.
The main thing is that one looked like a girl and the other looked like a pregnant woman. The two of them didn't think about it in that way at all. They just felt that they looked familiar when they first met.
"Xu Ying, you really are Minister Xu. You are amazing. We all watched the newspapers and watched TV at that time. Tell me how you came up with so many clever ideas.
The foreign guests were so busy that they kept paying money. "
Xu Ying smiled modestly and said quickly: "Aunt, I'm not kidding. It's mainly because our Chinese products are good and worth buying."
This is quite true. Old man Zhou was very happy. Their Chinese civilization has been around for thousands of years. It is very good. Otherwise, it would not have been attacked and tampered with by some shameless guys.
On Wednesday, my aunt really didn't know what newspapers and television were. She was so busy with her clothes every day that she had no idea about domestic developments.
Seeing the changes in the Zhou family's attitude towards Xu Ying, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Turning his head to look at his daughter, he was full of anger: "Look at you, your own niece, you are not as close as a stranger."
Zhou Ru was scolded by her mother, and she felt so aggrieved that she had nowhere to vent. She said with red eyes, "You are the same."
Aunt Zhou was about to get angry when Old Lady Zhou said sternly, "If you don't want to eat, get out."
