He looked calm and as if he didn't care at all, but only Xu Ying could notice his trembling fingers.

Everyone has a heart, how could they not miss their parents? Huo Chen tried hard to restrain himself and not to beat the man impulsively.

Whenever he thought of what his uncles said, he felt resentful for the suffering he had endured over the years and the injustice his mother had inflicted on him.

Zhang Yanlin was so nervous that he was sweating all over. He moved his mouth but didn't know how to refute.

Zhang Yuhua stood by and watched the fun in silence. Let’s have some fun.

It would be better to make a bigger fuss and make her man hate Huo Chen. This way, she won't have to worry about her family property being divided up by this guy.

Xu Ying pulled the man aside, winked at him and immediately said, "Huo Chen, what are you doing? Your return is a great event, Dad must be very happy.

Why do you say these things to hurt our dad? Maybe he was instigated by someone."

The more selfish a person is, the more unscrupulous they will be when they are broken. If the death of the mother-in-law and the crime committed by the man were caused by Zhang Yanlin and Zhang Yuhua, it would be most interesting to let these two people become enemies and commit suicide against each other in the end.

As soon as she said this, Zhang Yuhua's face changed drastically.

Just as he was about to explode, Zhang Yanlin apologized and said, "Yes, son, I was so busy with work that when I returned, both your mother and you were gone.

I was immersed in the grief over your mother's death, so I inevitably neglected you. I'm sorry."

He tried hard to act like a passionate and infatuated man.

"Don't be impulsive. We still have to investigate your mother's death and your affairs." Xu Ying held Huo Chen's hand, trying to wrap his big hand around it to comfort him.

Huo Chen calmed down, his eyes were red, Zhang Yanlin thought he was moved by his words, and suddenly he felt happy, he looked at his wife and said: "Why are you still standing there, my son is finally back.

Go to the kitchen and cook some food. I want to have a good meal with my son."

Zhang Yuhua's chest was filled with anger. Cooking was pointless.

She looked at Xu Ying and smiled gently: "This is Xu Ying, right? I heard that you are an excellent cook, and my cooking is not good either.

How about you cook today and let everyone have a taste of your cooking skills?"

"Auntie, although I am not the daughter-in-law of your biological son, I am also the daughter-in-law of your family. Now I am pregnant and will give birth soon, and you actually asked me to cook.

It's true what people say, a mother-in-law who is not her biological daughter-in-law will abuse her." Xu Ying said aggrievedly, and raised her voice deliberately.

Those who lived near the Zhang family compound were all family members of employees from various large factories. When they heard that the Zhang family's daughter-in-law had returned, and that she was not their biological daughter, they all widened their eyes, pricked up their ears, and listened carefully.

This is big news. Back then, Zhang Yanlin was a poor scholar who was helped by a rich family's daughter. He jumped over the dragon gate and turned into a phoenix. It was also a good story.

Later, something happened to the Zhou family. Zhou Yuelian died of complications during childbirth not long after, without even holding her child.

Zhang Yanlin returned to his hometown and brought back a child a year and a half later. He said he had remarried, but some sharp-eyed people noticed that the new wife's child was quite big.

It was estimated that the woman became pregnant when Zhou Yuelian was there. The rumor spreading outside was just a rumor. Zhang Yanlin did not admit it, so everyone just treated it as a casual talk after dinner.

"Is that Zhou Yuelian's son?" an old lady asked curiously, stretching her head.

"Who knows? Didn't the child die during childbirth? How come he is alive now?"

“She looks 80% similar to Yue Lian, so she must be their biological daughter, otherwise the Zhang family wouldn’t have taken her back.

But didn’t the midwife say that the child was gone? Why didn’t Yan Lin go to see the child? "

"Who knows? Maybe he was too sad to notice."

"That's right, no mother-in-law or daughter-in-law should be asked to cook when she or he visits for the first time.

It's really not his own child, he's being ordered around as much as he wants. I never thought Yuhua's wife was so cruel before."

Zhang Yuhua listened to the discussions outside and her face turned red and she was so angry that her face and neck became thick.

Zhang Yanlin glared at his wife and lectured her fiercely: "Why are you so lazy? The eldest wife is pregnant. Look at her big belly. Can she cook?"

Zhang Yuhua was already full of anger, and she felt even more aggrieved when the man yelled at her. She looked at Xu Ying and said coldly, "I underestimated you."

Xu Ying looked aggrieved, her eyes red, and said pitifully: "Auntie, I'm five months pregnant now, and I'm carrying twins in my belly, so I really can't cook.

If possible, I would definitely not dare to order you around, after all, you are old and may not be as mobile as us young people."

Zhang Yuhua's eyes widened before she could speak.

The old ladies next door couldn't stand it anymore: "Yuhua, you are so quick and nimble, weren't you the one cooking at home when they weren't here?

Why can't you do anything when someone comes? Why do you have to order them around?"

"That's right. If Yue Lian were here, and my daughter-in-law was pregnant, she would definitely not want to let her work, given her personality."

Alas, thinking of Yuelian, several old ladies sighed: "Yuelian is such a good woman, gentle and virtuous, how could she be so unlucky and leave so early.

How could God be so blind to such a kind-hearted person? "

Zhang Yuhua frowned as she listened to these people praising Zhou Yuelian. Why would they still go against her even though she was dead?

Zhang Yanlin couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and angrily said to Zhang Yuhua: "You go cook.

Yingying, you and Zhang Chen come into the house with me and have a chat."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and walked into the yard, followed closely by Huo Chen and Xu Ying.

Zhang Zhiguo glanced at his mother and said with some embarrassment: "Mom, my sister-in-law is pregnant. It is indeed inconvenient for her to do anything. You shouldn't make things difficult for her."

Zhang Yuhua was so angry that she almost vomited blood. This was truly her good son.

"Zhiguo, do you also think that Mom is wrong? Your elder brother and sister-in-law obviously came back for the family property.

Are you going to watch our family property being taken away by your eldest brother?

Didn't you see the hostility between your eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law just now? If you don't understand mom, then what's the point of me living?"

Zhang Yuhua shed tears as she spoke.

Zhang Zhiguo suddenly became anxious: "Mom, that's not what I meant, was our house really bought by my eldest brother's mother?

If that's the case, it's fine to give this house to my eldest brother and sister-in-law. I'll work hard to earn money and buy a bigger house for you and dad."

Anyway, he would feel uncomfortable taking other people's things, and his self-esteem would not allow him to take other people's things.

When Zhang Yuhua heard what her son said, she immediately looked disappointed and angry: "How come this house was bought by his mother? His mother and your father are married, and they work together to earn money. All that money belongs to the common property of the couple."
