Chapter 352 Treat yourself as family
The meal left Chang Le and his wife on edge. Although Cen Yan and Qi Jingchuan looked all smiles, they felt a chill creeping through the room, sending shivers down their spines.
It wasn't until after they finished eating and cleared the table that Chang Le slapped Zhu Rongguo: "You pig, close the window! Who are you trying to freeze to death in this freezing winter?"
She thought it was because Cen Yan and Shan Jianhua were at odds, so she was secretly attacking them, but it turned out that she had simply forgotten to close the window.
Zhu Rongguo hurriedly said, "I'll go and close it right away. Jingchuan, Jianhua, I've already prepared tea in the living room. Please sit down first, and we'll make tea for you later."
Cen Yan brought a tea cake as a gift, packaged in a wooden gift box, which made Shan Jianhua envious!
Xianxian is right. The Cen family's assets must be in the hands of that bitch Cen Yan. Otherwise, how could she have produced such fine tea?
It should be noted that these things were all things that Shan Xianxian should have offered to her uncle when she came to live with him.
It belongs to him, so why should Cen Yan use it to offer to someone else?
But now was not a good time to talk, so Shan Jianhua walked into the living room with a stiff face.
Cen Yan said, "Uncle, you go and keep the guests company. I'll stay here and help Aunt Chang tidy up."
Chang Le frowned and said, "You're a guest too, why can you stay and help me clear the table?"
"Aunt Chang actually thinks that way, treating me like a guest? Jingchuan and I both believe that in Aunt Chang's heart, we are both her own children." Cen Yan bit her lip, feeling a little aggrieved.
"..." Chang Le slapped her own mouth. "Look at my mouth. Yan Yan, don't be angry. Of course, Aunt Chang treats you like her own child. It's just that it's your first time at home, so it's not appropriate to ask you to do chores."
"It's alright, Aunt Chang. Many hands make light work. Let's clear the table and wash the dishes as soon as possible so we can sit down and chat some more while we still have time." Cen Yan quickly started clearing the table.
Chang Le was delighted by Qi Jingchuan's diligent appearance and thought to himself, "Qi Jingchuan is really lucky."
He actually married such a wonderful wife!
Cen Yan was diligent, and Zhu Shuixian, who originally wanted to shirk her responsibilities, couldn't hide anymore, which made Cen Yan grit her teeth in anger.
Cen Yan looks young, but I didn't expect her to be so scheming. When she comes to someone else's house as a guest, she still insists on talking about host and guest. If she were to shirk her duties and go out to drink tea and chat with the men, wouldn't that be planting a seed in Chang Le's heart, making him treat her like an outsider?
That won't do. Whether her younger brother, Zhu Dehai, can get a job in a medical institution ahead of time depends entirely on the guarantees of two senior doctors, Chang Le and Zhu Rongguo. Without their recommendation, Zhu Dehai will have to wait five years to continue taking the medical qualification exam, which would be too late.
"I'll help wash the dishes too, haha, Xiao Cen is right, we're all family." Zhu Shuixian said with a forced smile.
Cen Yan didn't stand on ceremony with her: "That's great, more people means more work, so Aunt Zhu can take care of washing the dishes, and I'll take care of wiping the table. Aunt Chang, you've prepared such a big meal, you must be tired, go and rest."
She went about her household chores as if nothing was wrong, much to Chang Le's delight, but Zhu Shuixian was not happy.
"Xiao Cen, it's not very nice of you to be bossing people around in someone else's home." It's almost the winter solstice, and snow is falling in clumps. The water pipes aren't frozen, but the water that comes out is still cold!
Cen Yan herself didn't want to wash the dishes because she was cold, so why should Zhu Shuixian be assigned to do so? Does Cen Yan even have the right to do so?
