Seeing that Li Miaomiao had suddenly become so good at dealing with people, Old Mrs. Pei felt comforted, no matter what her purpose was.
Li Miaomiao is a reliable mother, so her grandson's life will be easier.
She had underestimated the second son's wife in the past. Although the second son's wife liked to be sneaky and cunning, she was actually a capable and calculating person in her heart, and she knew how to maintain a good relationship with the fourth son's wife.
The fourth daughter-in-law is very proud, and it is rare for the second daughter-in-law to catch her eye.
"That's no problem. I'll get up early tomorrow and pick some cucumbers to make for you. I promise I won't delay your return to the city."
The two sisters-in-law chatted with each other and became more lively.
Pei Yifan went out for a walk and found out the situation. When he came back, he saw his mother and fourth aunt chatting enthusiastically. He even doubted his eyes.
Especially when I know that the dish is cooked by my own mother, it always feels a little unreal.
Li Miaomiao saw her son standing at the kitchen door. Looking at the little expression on his face, she knew what he was thinking and raised her eyebrows with some pride.
Little guy, you underestimate me. Today I’ll let you see what your mother is capable of.
It’s not true to say that Li Miaomiao’s cooking skills are very good, but she is willing to use oil and ingredients, and has some little tricks of her own, so the food looks really delicious.
Zhang Degen is the village chief and team leader of Fanglin Village. He knew the reason why the Pei family invited him over, so he came over at dinner time. Looking at the table full of food, he was a little bit unconvinced when he heard that the dishes were made by Li Miaomiao.
He had seen this woman's unreasonable behavior before. She took advantage of the fact that Pei Laoer was there for something that happened in the village and demanded a lot of benefits. She also refused to work and earn work points.
No one from the old Pei family said anything, so he just turned a blind eye.
"I didn't expect Guoan's wife to have such a talent. The food on this table smells delicious."
No matter what Zhang Degen thought in his heart, he had done his best to save face.
Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei both felt that this was quite clever. They were used to hearing people disparaging the second son's wife, so they were really not used to hearing someone praising her.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully completing the mission and preparing the last dinner before the separation. 500 survival points as a reward!"
Li Miaomiao was also very happy at this time. She successfully completed the task and received 500 survival points as a reward from the system. She could survive for two more days.
Li Miaomiao was in a good mood and smiled unconsciously: "Uncle Degen, you are too kind! I know my cooking skills well. I can only make home-cooked dishes. If it tastes good, it is because I use enough ingredients. Xiaofan's grandmother said that Uncle Degen always takes care of our family. We all remember your kindness in our hearts. It's a rare opportunity to invite Uncle Degen to dinner, so I can't be stingy, otherwise I will let him down!"
Li Miaomiao's words were pleasant to the ear, and who doesn't like to be praised? Zhang Degen was coaxed by Li Miaomiao's words. Even though he knew that Li Miaomiao's words were just for show, he was still very happy in his heart, and his eyebrows raised.
"Guoan's wife has really grown!"
Zhou Fang had just come back from outside when she heard Li Desheng's words and curled her lips.
Li Miaomiao is a lazy bastard. She had wondered what was wrong with Li Miaomiao today that she actually wanted to help in the kitchen. It turned out that Li Miaomiao was deliberately trying to show off in front of the village chief. She hadn't known that the second son's wife was so scheming.
Old Mrs. Pei didn't expect that Li Miaomiao could speak so beautifully. The second daughter-in-law has not only made progress, but seeing her like this, they feel relieved even if the family is divided.
The second son’s wife is like this. It doesn’t matter if she is a little lazy, she won’t suffer any loss.
"I also want to try the food cooked by the second daughter-in-law. Since she came into this family, she has cooked a lot of times, but looking at the dishes on the table, they are much better than before."
Zhou Fang's words were clearly meant to dismantle Li Miaomiao's plan. Both Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei looked a little unhappy. Thinking of Li Miaomiao's usual temper, they looked at her with some worry.
Li Miaomiao naturally saw Zhou Fang's intention. If it were the original owner's temper, she would definitely quarrel with Zhou Fang, and it would be a bad scene.
But Li Miaomiao was not the original owner. She looked at the village chief with a smile and said, "I also think my cooking skills are much better than before. Why don't you all try it?"
Zhang Degen is a very capable person, so he could easily see the conflicts between the sisters-in-law.
But seeing the performance of Zhou Fang and Li Miaomiao, I looked up to Li Miaomiao.
Guoan's wife is a sensible person. If she makes a fuss at this time, it will be inappropriate. What's more, it is the last meal before the Pei family divides the price, so Guotai's wife is a little narrow-minded.
Seeing Li Miaomiao like this, Old Man Pei and Old Lady Pei breathed a sigh of relief and immediately put on a smile on their faces. Old Man Pei took out half a bottle of wine from his collection, filled a glass for Zhang Degen, and poured himself a glass as well.
These days, even during Chinese New Year, there might not be such delicious dishes. The dishes cooked by Li Miaomiao tasted pretty good. Everyone was busy enjoying the meal and they were very harmonious without any conflicts.
After dinner, it was time for the highlight of the day, which was naturally the separation of the family.
Old man Pei and the Pei brothers chatted with Zhang Degen for a while
Zhang Degen asked why Old Man Pei split up the family
"Brother, this is your family's business, and I shouldn't ask too much. But Guoan is a good man, and he sacrificed his life for the sake of the village. Guoan's wife is a little immature. But I think she has a strong temper and doesn't like to work, but she's okay in other aspects. Guoan is gone, and she's young and willing to live a peaceful life with Guoan's child. We should be more tolerant of her. If we split up, she will have a hard time raising the child alone."
Zhang Degen also did this out of consideration for Pei Guoan's previous kindness. Although Li Miaomiao had been a little unreasonable before and had offended him a lot, he still said a few words for Li Miaomiao and her son at this time.
"Degen, I've thought about everything you said, and it took me a long time to make this decision. They say a tree grows taller and its branches branch out. Now that our children and grandchildren are grown up, they each have their own ideas. Instead of each calculating and arguing over trivial matters, it's better for us to live separately."
Zhang Degen was an outsider after all, so he tried to persuade Old Man Pei. Seeing that Old Man Pei was unwilling to change his mind, he could only sigh.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, let's talk about the rules of the division."
Pei Guotai breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Old Man Pei had not changed his mind.
Pei Guoqiang saw his eldest brother like this and felt sorry and sad for his dead second brother.
In the kitchen, the Pei family's daughters-in-law were cleaning the kitchen, all of them thinking about the division of the family property. After they finished cleaning up in a hurry, they all went to the main hall.
Especially Zhou Fang, she was a little absent-minded as she walked towards the main hall, and looked outside from time to time.
Seeing Zhou Fang like this, Li Miaomiao knew that there must be something fishy going on when Zhou Fang went out just now.
