Chapter 56 The food that comes
The situation was deadlocked at the dinner table, and Zhou Xiaohong wanted to say a few good words for her elder brother.
After all, Li Xiaoxia and Ye Wangshu's cooking skills are at two extremes, and even a fool would know how to choose.
But when Zhou Xiaohong thought of Ye Wangshu's help to her today, she couldn't open her mouth.
If she said in public that the food cooked by her second sister-in-law was the best, she was afraid that her eldest brother and sister-in-law would feel upset.
After thinking about it, Zhou Xiaohong didn't say anything.
"We all love to eat the food you cook! Do you really think that just because someone praises you, your cooking will be the best in the world?"
Seeing that no one spoke for Ye Wangshu, Li Xiaoxia was very pleased.
"Come on, come on, everyone, eat quickly. If you don't eat now, the food will get cold and won't taste good anymore. Come on, mom, come on, little sister, eat quickly!"
Zhou's mother and Zhou Xiaohong looked at the food Li Xiaoxia picked for them and felt very tormented, not knowing whether to eat it or not.
Seeing that no one picked up their chopsticks, Li Xiaoxia didn't mind at all.
"My family won't accept your charity. Don't think you can get away with just a few words."
Li Xiaoxia snorted, picked up some food for her husband and children, and then started eating on her own.
Zhou Jincong watched all this with a frown on his face. He couldn't understand what good his sister-in-law's actions would bring her. As her younger brother, he couldn't say anything.
But Zhou Jincong couldn't bear to see his wife being wronged.
"My boss assigned me a car. Although it belongs to the army, it will not be taken back in the short term."
As soon as Zhou Jincong said this, he instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Especially Zhou Jinrui, when he returned home he saw the car parked at the door, but he didn't say anything because he was acting like an older brother.
You know, as an older brother, Zhou Jinrui still rides a bicycle that he has used for several years.
"I'm in a good mood and plan to take everyone to the state-owned restaurant in the city for a meal."
After Zhou Jincong finished speaking, Li Xiaoxia's family was delighted and immediately looked over.
"Just now, my eldest sister-in-law said that my eldest brother's family doesn't like to eat food given out of pity... so I took my mother, my younger sister, and Wangshu with me."
After Zhou Jincong finished speaking, he patted Ye Wangshu on the shoulder and stood up first.
Zhou Xiaohong was a child at heart. She was so happy when she knew they were going to the city that she followed them immediately.
Zhou's mother looked up at Zhou Jinrui and Li Xiaoxia, then shook her head in disappointment and stood up.
"What do they mean by this? They are clearly bullying our family!"
Li Xiaoxia was angry and poked the food on the table with her chopsticks.
In order to compete with Ye Wangshu, she cooked an extra lot of food.
If the three of them were to eat it now, they would not be able to finish it.
"Okay, stop talking and eat."
Zhou Jinrui just felt that it didn't matter, so he buried his head and started eating.
However, Ye Wangshu had spoiled his appetite over the past few days, and now the food cooked by his wife tasted like wax.
"Mom, I want to eat at a big restaurant in the city!"
Zhou Zhanpeng watched as everyone else left and threw down his chopsticks.
"Eat, eat, eat, all you do is eat! Why are you like your useless father?" Li Xiaoxia was furious, and it was rare for her to be angry with her precious son.
"If you don't want to eat, go back to your room and do your homework!"
Knowing that Li Xiaoxia was really angry, Zhou Zhanpeng didn't dare to say anything else. He just sat there obediently and started eating.
"The food in the city restaurants isn't as good as my mom's! I just want to go out and explore the city..."
Over here, Li Xiaoxia and her family of three were eating at the dinner table, each with their own thoughts. Over there, Zhou Jinrui had already entered the city with his wife, mother, and sister.
Although Ye Wangshu had met Zhou Xiaohong in the city, he had never spent time with her in the city.
What she didn't expect was that Zhou Xiaohong, who had an outstanding education, was curious about everything in the state-owned restaurant and couldn't help but touch here and there.
On the other hand, Zhou's mother, a weak-willed village woman, was calmer in the state-owned restaurant than at home.
Not only was he not timid at all like a country boy, but his every move was completely normal, as if he was already used to this scene.
The waiter came over with the menu, and Zhou Jincong naturally handed the menu to Zhou's mother first.
Ye Wangshu was even more surprised when he saw Zhou's mother accurately say the name of the dish.
She thought Zhou's mother was an illiterate woman, but she was obviously not.
There are small pictures of dishes on the menu, and the names of the dishes are written under the pictures, and the names are very elegant.
Zhou's mother said that getting the name of one dish right was just a coincidence, and that getting so many right only showed that she was literate.
"Look and see what else you want to order."
After taking the menu, Ye Wangshu realized that most of the dishes ordered by Zhou's mother were what Zhou Jincong and he liked.
"These are enough. Let me see if you want more dishes."
"This is enough for us to eat. That's all!" Zhou Xiaohong swallowed her saliva. She liked to eat anything that was delicious.
It was already late after they finished their meal, so they went home without staying for long.
When Ye Wangshu and Zhou Jincong were reading in the room, Zhou Jinrui came over.
"Jin Cong, come out with me."
Zhou Jincong was a little confused. His elder brother never said much in front of him, so why was he suddenly calling him out?
Although he was confused, Zhou Jincong followed Zhou Jinrui out, thinking that they were all from the same mother.
The two sat in the pavilion in the yard, and Zhou Jinrui hesitated for a long time before finally speaking.
"Jin Cong, what do you think of the relationship between your sister-in-law and Mrs. Li?"
After hearing this, Zhou Jincong frowned slightly, with a puzzled look on his face, "Brother, why are you asking this?"
"Jin Cong! Big brother thinks you should take care of your wife. Look at how strained her relationship with your sister-in-law is! If others see this, they will laugh at our family."
Zhou Jinrui spoke earnestly, but Zhou Jincong frowned.
"Brother, I don't think my wife has done anything wrong. It's my sister-in-law who always finds fault with Wangshu."
Looking at Zhou Jincong's cold and hard face, Zhou Jinrui felt a little scared, but when he thought that he was the eldest brother, he mustered up his courage again.
"That's different. As the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. You and your younger sister-in-law should listen to your elder sister-in-law and give in to her more often. Isn't that only natural?"
"As it should be?" Zhou Jincong chuckled, his eyes darkening. "When will my sister-in-law respect my mother? Brother, please tell me again that my sister-in-law is like a mother!"
"Jin Cong, you have to take care of your sister-in-law..."
Zhou Jincong really didn't want to discuss the issue of disciplining Ye Wangshu with his elder brother. Before he finished speaking, Zhou Jincong turned around and went back to the house.
"What's wrong? Why are you so unhappy?"
Ye Wangshu looked at Zhou Jincong with a dark face, walked over and rubbed his face.
"My eldest brother asked me to discipline you."
Looking at Zhou Jincong's furrowed brow, Ye Wangshu chuckled and said, "Then you discipline him!"
"Ah?" Zhou Jincong looked up in confusion and met Ye Wangshu's smiling eyes.
