"Xinyue, what mom said is right. If you don't know how to cook, then learn first. If a woman doesn't know how to cook, she will be laughed at if she tells others that she can't. You are so talented, I think you will do well no matter what you do."
Zhou Yunyan naturally sided with his mother. He was not a fool, so how could he indulge Zheng Xinyue?
"Yun Yan, Mom is ignorant, aren't you ignorant too? I just got married yesterday and I'm a new daughter-in-law. Other new daughters-in-law don't have to do anything when they get married, but you want me to cook on my first day. What will others think if they know? Don't you value me? Do you want me to become a laughing stock?"
Zheng Xinyue's face immediately turned cold and she asked rudely.
Zhou Yunyan was choked. He didn't expect Zheng Xinyue to be so tough and start questioning him as soon as she opened her mouth.
Logically speaking, the new daughter-in-law should not be allowed to work today, after all, it is her first day after marriage. But their family is different. They originally married a wife to help their mother share the housework.
In Zhou Yunyan's mind, a woman must be able to cook and work in the living room. Not only should she keep the housework in order, but she should also have a decent job outside and be able to make a lot of money. This is a good woman.
He had been dissatisfied with Zheng Wangshu before, because Zheng Wangshu was useless in other aspects except doing housework and did not even have a decent job, which had always been criticized by his family.
"Xinyue, others are their own, they can say whatever they want, we live our own lives. I know you are a filial girl and should help your mother with some housework. Since you don't know how to do it, why don't you learn to do it at noon."
Zhou Yunyan slowed down his tone and advised in a low voice.
Before getting married, Zheng Xinyue was very well-behaved in every aspect, and her partner almost always listened to what she said. But after just getting married yesterday, she started to have her own opinions today.
Zheng Xinyue didn't give Zhou Yunyan any face at all. "I can learn to cook, but I'll wait a while. No new daughter-in-law is asked to cook on the first day she arrives. I'm also afraid of being laughed at by others. If mom can't come back at noon, we can go out to eat. A bowl of noodles at a roadside stall doesn't cost much."
Now there are self-employed people, some of whom set up stalls to sell noodles, and the prices are much cheaper than those in state-owned restaurants.
Zheng Xinyue thought it was a simple matter. If no one wanted to cook, then they could just go out and eat instead of eating at home.
But she thought simply. It was okay to go out to a restaurant occasionally, and it wouldn't cost much money, but there were five people in their family now, so going out for a meal would cost a lot.
"Don't you have to spend money when you go out to eat? How much does a bowl of noodles cost for a family of five? The money in our family is used for good purposes and we can't squander it like this. Xinyue, you just got married and don't understand. As a woman, you must learn to save money."
Gao Huilan was anxious and couldn't help complaining that she was a stingy person and a miser. If she went out to eat every day, she would be heartbroken.
Besides, the money at home is needed for my daughter to go to school, and my son needs to give gifts if he wants to get promoted in the future. It all costs money.
"If you don't want to eat, just eat at home. I'll eat out. Don't worry, I won't spend the family's money. I have my own money."
When she got married, her family gave her some money. She was not as stupid as Zheng Wangshu, who gave the money to her in-laws as soon as she got married.
This money will be enough for her to spend for a long time, and she must keep it in her own hands.
Hearing Zheng Xinyue say this, Zhou Yunyan and Gao Huilan's faces turned green. They didn't expect that Zheng Xinyue would turn against them so easily after just getting married, and even making it so difficult for her to cook.
"Xinyue, you are too ignorant. It's a happy day. Don't make your mother unhappy. If you continue like this, I will be angry."
Zhou Yunyan frowned, looking like he was educating a younger generation.
Zheng Xinyue looked at Zhou Yunyan, feeling somewhat sad. It was fine if her mother-in-law was ignorant, after all, who wouldn't like to bully their daughter-in-law? But she had just had sex with Zhou Yunyan last night, and she was feeling very uncomfortable, and her lower body was still aching. He was helping his mother to urge her to work.
"Brother Yunyan, my lower body is still in pain. How can I do any work? Just standing for a while makes my head sweat."
Zheng Xinyue pouted as she spoke, looking very aggrieved.
Hearing him say this, Zhou Yunyan felt guilty. Thinking of the thick cucumber last night, his eyes flashed and he looked at Gao Huilan beside him and spoke.
"Xinyue is right. She really shouldn't be working right now. Mom, you should cook lunch. There are so many people watching us in the family compound. Don't let them gossip about you."
Zhou Yunyan immediately changed his tone and began to support Zheng Xinyue.
Gao Huilan was so angry that she almost died. She didn't expect that after all the talk, her son's elbow was still turned outward.
"Yun Yan, this..."
Zhou Yunyan glanced at his mother, then hugged Zheng Xinyue and went back to the house.
He now has some idea in his mind. Although Zheng Xinyue likes him, she is not a love-brained person. Unlike Zheng Wangshu, she is not that easy to control.
In this case, everything has to be considered carefully, and Zheng Xinyue's heart cannot be completely chilled. Otherwise, this will be his second marriage, and if he divorces again, it will become his third marriage, and no matter how valuable the man is, he will no longer be worth anything.
Besides, people will inevitably gossip about you. What good person would get divorced twice?
So he had no other thoughts at the moment, and just wanted to live a good life with Zheng Xinyue, at least to surpass Zheng Wangshu, that would be enough.
After returning to the room, Zhou Yunyan said a few more nice words, which made Zheng Xinyue laugh.
"Yun Yan, I'm different from Zheng Wangshu. I'm not as stupid as her. But since we're married, I naturally want to live a good life with you. So if your mother bullies me too much, you have to help me. After all, you're my man. If you don't help me, no one will. Otherwise, if I quarrel with your mother, it won't be good for me."
Zheng Xinyue made her attitude clear. If her parents-in-law treated her well, she would get along well with them. If her mother-in-law dared to make trouble and bully her, she would start fighting.
Zhou Yunyan's heart skipped a beat, and he didn't dare to say anything. After all, it was only the first day of their marriage. If they quarreled and made a big fuss, it would be embarrassing.
It would be fine if the people in the family compound watched the fun, but if Zheng Wangshu knew about it, he would rather kill himself.
What happened yesterday was embarrassing enough, he couldn't lose face again.
"Don't worry, I'm on your side. Didn't I just tell Mom to cook? But you can't always let Mom do this kind of thing. You have to do some of it."
Zheng Xinyue nodded and said, "Just do it. She can cook, but whether it's edible is another matter."
Thinking of this, I smiled meaningfully.
"I know. How could I be so ignorant? I still understand these basic principles."
