Zhou Cunming quickly went to his parents' side and tried to coax them. How could he possibly want to sever ties with his parents?
Even if he wasn't a particularly love-starved child, it's impossible for him to grow up without trying to please his parents and hoping they would value him or love him more.
Chen Suwen looked at the things they brought back. The cured meat was something Zhou Cunming had traded with people in the southwest when he went on a trip.
People in this era were not wealthy, but there were still people making cured meat. Chen Suwen smelled it and realized it wasn't the spicy kind of cured meat.
After all, people in the southwest really like spicy food, but she isn't someone who can handle spicy food very well.
"Mom, look, I bought you clam oil. You can use it to clean your face every day." Zhou Cunming took out a box of clam oil and stuffed it into his mother's hand.
"Now that the weather is cold and a bit dry, applying some clam oil will prevent my skin from cracking."
Chen Suwen looked at the clam oil in her hand, then glanced at her adopted son, and nodded, "You still know how to be filial to your mother. It wasn't a waste of my time to raise you."
"Dad, this scarf is for you. You work hard every day braving the cold wind to go to work, so I'm giving it to you to keep you warm."
Zhou Cunming then took out a warm towel and gave it to Zhou Qingyun, his face full of flattery.
Zhou Qingyun also praised him.
Li Yulan couldn't help but purse her lips at Zhou Cunming's servile attitude. Although she was very dissatisfied, she knew that if she stopped Zhou Cunming, it would definitely affect her relationship with him.
It might even affect her father's side.
Zhou Cunming did marry into the family, but that didn't mean he severed ties with his biological parents. If he didn't think about his biological parents at all, the reputation of being unfilial would follow him for the rest of his life.
Even her family will be affected.
Li Yulan still didn't want her family to be affected, and even more so, she didn't want her home to be in turmoil.
"Alright, go cook." Chen Suwen handed him the piece of cured meat that Zhou Cunming had brought back and told him to go to the kitchen to cook.
"Huh?" Zhou Cunming was taken aback. Did he cook?
Zhou Cunming is not incapable of cooking. When he was young, his parents were busy with work, so they naturally learned to cook for themselves.
Although my skill level isn't great, I can definitely do it.
As for burning down the kitchen or ruining the ingredients, those are impossible.
"Mom, aren't we guests? We've come all this way, why are you asking Cunming to cook?"
Li Yulan couldn't help but speak up.
Zhou Cunming had never cooked at her house.
Of course, Li Yulan herself had never cooked.
Her mother does the cooking at her house, since she's the only one in the family who doesn't work, and as a housewife, she naturally takes care of all three meals a day.
After Zhou Cunming married her, he never cooked.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to the Zhou family, Chen Suwen asked him to cook.
Chen Suwen scrutinized her, then looked at Zhou Cunming with a half-smile, "A guest?"
"You think so too?"
If Zhou Cunming said he was a guest, she would unceremoniously kick him out of the house.
Seeing the warning his mother was giving him, Zhou Cunming quickly shook his head, "How could that be? How could I be a guest?"
"I'm your own son, Mom. I'll go cook right away." Zhou Cunming quickly stood up, grabbed the cured meat, and headed towards the kitchen.
Chen Suwen watched her adopted son's retreating figure, then looked at Li Yulan and asked, "So, you're the guest now?"
Li Yulan: "..."
"I, I'll go check on my nieces."
Although she was spoiled by her parents, she was frightened by the way her mother-in-law hit her husband. She was afraid that her mother-in-law's bamboo stick would hit her at any moment, so she didn't dare to talk back to her.
Li Yulan took her son to find Shen Wenxiu, not wanting to be in the same space as her mother-in-law anymore.
Li Yulan carried her son to Shen Wenxiu's room and went over to take a look at the two adorable little girls.
Perhaps because she ate well during her postpartum period and the two babies were also fed formula, the twins were already a little chubby before they were even a month old.
They looked so cute, the two children were exactly alike, which made Li Yulan very envious.
They're both daughters-in-law of the Zhou family, so why did the eldest sister-in-law give birth to twins, and the third sister-in-law also gave birth to twins, but she only gave birth to one?
She also wanted twins.
It would be nice to give her son, Acong, a younger brother or sister.
She is an only child in her family, and she really longs to have another child for her son, so that they can support each other.
In fact, apart from the fact that she was bullied by other children when she was a child and had no siblings to fight back for her, Li Yulan was quite carefree in other aspects.
She was her parents' only child, and they doted on her, so she received more material things than other children.
“The two children are so cute, they look just like you, third sister-in-law,” Li Yulan exclaimed.
Shen Wenxiu smiled and said, "I think I look more like my mother-in-law."
Actually, it's because the children look more like their father, while Zhou Cunzong looks more like his mother.
Chen Suwen was a beauty in her youth, and although she is older now, you can still see that she has a very good foundation.
Otherwise, how could they have given birth to such handsome sons and beautiful daughters?
The Zhou sisters, Shan and Hu, look very similar to Chen Suwen, about 70-80% alike.
Li Yulan frowned upon hearing Shen Wenxiu's words. "Really? They look like Grandma?"
She had never paid much attention to her mother-in-law's appearance. Her biggest impression of her mother-in-law was that she was short-tempered and disliked her.
Now that I think about it carefully, it seems that my mother-in-law does look somewhat similar to these two little babies.
