When Zhang Yuhua saw Qu Huimin's attitude, she immediately felt unhappy.
We haven't yet disliked Qu Huimin for being impolite and disrespectful to elders, but this girl is going to take advantage of us.
Moreover, their family is different now. Once Zhou Yuelian's son comes back, it means that the Zhou family and the Zhang family will continue to interact.
Although the Zhou family is not as rich as before, they have helped many people over the years. Any one of their connections is better than that of the Qu family.
"Please sit inside the room." Zhang Yuhua's attitude became noticeably colder.
Sun Yan was a little unhappy, but now that Zhang Wu's family did not recognize the marriage and Zhang Yanlin's family was starting to rise, she had to curry favor with them no matter how unwilling she was.
She entered the room and saw two more people. She asked knowingly, "Why does this young man look so familiar?"
"Xu Ying, Huo Chen, why are you here?" Qu Huimin saw the two of them with surprise on their faces.
"Do you know each other?" Zhang Yanlin asked suspiciously, then stood up and introduced: "This is my eldest son and daughter-in-law, the child Yuelian gave birth to at that time.
Who knew that the midwife misread the baby and told me that he was dead when he was not, which caused my son a lot of suffering."
The smile on Sun Yan's face was unfathomable, but she had no intention of watching him act. She knew best what happened back then.
But how come my daughter actually knows these two people?
Qu Huimin was shocked. Huo Chen was actually the son of the Zhang family and the grandson of the Zhou family?
She felt that her world had changed drastically, and it was difficult for her to accept it for a while.
The country guy whom she looked down upon has transformed into the man her mother wants to marry. Looking at Xu Ying's pretty face in front of the table, she even wanted to scratch it.
If it weren't for her, she wouldn't have been forced to transfer schools.
"Yes, classmate." Qu Huimin's voice was as small as a mosquito.
As soon as these words came out, Sun Yan's expression changed again and again.
Zhang Yuhua was shocked: "Yingying is also studying at Tsinghua University?"
Xu Ying nodded and responded.
Zhang Yanlin looked at his daughter-in-law with approval: "I heard that you are very famous in your county.
Both factories have relied on your performance to grow. Director Yang even wants you to work directly at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Why don't you go?"
Everyone in the room looked at Xu Ying.
Being able to work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is something that many people would try their best to get into, but this girl actually doesn't want to go.
"I prefer freedom and miss my hometown, so this job is not suitable for me." Xu Ying had a faint smile on her face and turned to look at Qu Huimin. Her bright eyes were filled with amusement: "Qu Huimin, I didn't expect that we are so destined to be together."
Qu Huimin felt a little flustered when she was stared at like this. She pulled her mother's sleeve and said, "This woman is the one who seduced Zhang Wu.
I suspect that I was reported because of her.”
Looking at Xu Ying, she was filled with anger.
When Sun Yan heard her daughter's words, her face suddenly turned ugly, and her attitude towards Xu Ying suddenly became bad.
"You are too arbitrary. The job in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is something that many people would not be able to get, but you are still unwilling to go.
A full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man. It is really enviable.
But girl, now that you are back, you can't do whatever you want like before in the countryside.
Yuhua is your mother-in-law. Shouldn't a daughter-in-law respect her mother-in-law? I just saw Yuhua busy in the kitchen alone, but you, the daughter-in-law, are enjoying yourself here. This is really inappropriate."
Zhang Yuhua was very proud when she heard this. She glared at Xu Ying fiercely, then quickly showed her generosity: "Yanzi, stop talking. Yingying is pregnant!"
Your wife is from the countryside too, so what's wrong with her cooking? After being in the city for a few days, you really think you're a city person."
Xu Ying sat on the chair, watching the two people singing the same tune with interest.
When the two of them finished talking, she opened her thin lips slightly and said with a smile: "Auntie, are you seriously ill?
My mother-in-law is buried in the ground now, she didn't say anything to me, how dare you say that to me?"
Sun Yan's face turned red with anger. This little brat actually scolded her: "How can you talk like that? Your mother-in-law is sitting right in front of you."
"That's not the case. She didn't give birth to my husband, so how can she be called a mother-in-law?" Xu Ying said with disdain in her eyes.
Zhang Yuhua's face turned pale and blue, and she smiled bitterly: "Yingying is right. I didn't give birth to Huo Chen, so how can I be considered his mother-in-law?"
As she spoke, she looked at Zhang Yanlin with grievance, her face full of accusations.
Zhang Yanlin was heartbroken, and he coughed and looked at Xu Ying with dissatisfaction and said, "Yingying, what you said is wrong. Although Yuhua didn't give birth to him and raise him, she married my wife.
In terms of relationship, she is naturally qualified to be your mother-in-law."
"My mother is downstairs, and my daughter-in-law has only one mother-in-law. Whoever stipulates that the daughter-in-law has to cook for her mother-in-law.
Why is it that the Zhang family tradition is for the daughter-in-law to serve the mother-in-law? " Huo Chen's face was full of anger.
Xu Ying felt even more aggrieved. She pulled the man away angrily with tears in her voice. When she got outside, her face was full of tears.
The aunties outside were chatting when they saw a young wife from the Zhang family rushing out, crying. They couldn't help but be curious: "Girl, what's wrong with you?"
After the aunt finished speaking, she saw Huo Chen's face beside her and was even more surprised: "You are Yue Lian's son, you really look like him.
This is your daughter-in-law, what's wrong? Tell me if you have any problem, I will make the decision for you." The auntie who spoke had a stern face. She had a good relationship with Zhou Yuelian when she was young.
In her heart, such a gentle and lovely girl left so early, and she felt sad.
Later, when Zhang Yanlin quickly got married, she became even more disdainful of him.
"That's right, girl. If you have anything to say, just tell us and we will help you." Many people looked down on Zhang Yanlin's Chen Shimei style and said one after another.
Xu Ying wiped away her tears and said, "On the first day I came home with a big belly, my mother-in-law and her friends said that I didn't respect my elders and didn't honor my mother-in-law, so they asked her to go to the kitchen to cook.
My mother-in-law is clearly in the underworld, so even if I want to show filial piety, it should be to my husband’s biological mother.
This woman has done nothing and she is not my biological mother, so why should I respect her?
Before I came, the Zhang family didn't cook for themselves. They just waited for their daughter-in-law to come home and cook for them.
Even if I wanted to, I couldn't do it. My belly is so big, and I've never seen such abuse of my daughter-in-law in my life."
When Zhang Yanlin came out, he heard Xu Ying complaining, and his old face became extremely gloomy.
The aunts saw Zhang Yanlin with disdain on their faces: "Zhang Yanlin, you are really amazing. You let Yuelian, the daughter-in-law, serve Zhang Yuhua, the shameless mistress.
Aren't you afraid that Yue Lian will get so angry that she'll crawl out of the ground to settle the score with you?"
"I've heard of daughters-in-law being filial to their mothers-in-law, but I've never heard of daughters-in-law being filial to their stepmothers."
"That's right. How can you be so shameless without the grace of giving birth to me? If Yue Lian were here, she would not let her cook when she saw her daughter-in-law was so pregnant.
I guess he was so heartbroken that he couldn't wait to make something delicious for his daughter-in-law."
