Chapter 57: The Mother-in-Law Who Was Trying to Show Off Her Presence Was Rebuked
Li Yiqin looked at Zhang Juexia with admiration, "As for Suyun, my sister-in-law is not good at persuading people, but your sister-in-law is right."
When they arrived at the old house, Ye Jishun, Wang Guilan, Ye Yunsheng, and Zhao Baofeng were talking with Zhao Xiang's family in the main hall.
Wang Guilan ran out after hearing the noise. She took Ye Suyun's hand and said, "Suyun, go into the house and talk to grandma later. You stay in your room."
Ye Suyun nodded shyly.
Zhang Juexia and Li Yiqun signaled to her from the side, telling her not to be afraid.
Wang Guilan turned to Zhang Juexia and Li Yiqin and said, "We have distinguished guests at home, so you two sisters-in-law will have to work harder."
"It's my duty, grandma."
The two people responded in unison.
Wang Guilan smiled with satisfaction, "Your third uncle went down the mountain to buy meat. He should be back soon."
Zhang Juexia was still wondering if there was a place selling meat at the foot of the mountain.
Li Yiqin explained to her, "There's a village at the foot of the mountain with a small shop where you can buy meat and vegetables, but the prices are a little higher than in town."
"Is it far?"
"It's not far. If you walk fast, it will take half an hour to go back and forth."
Zhang Juexia took note of it. If she needed something urgently one day, she could go to the village below to buy it.
After Wang Guilan made the arrangements, she returned to the main room to chat with the guests.
Ye Beishan had already skinned the two rabbits and handed them to Li Yiqin. "Go chop them into pieces and have Xia'er cook them. She cooks them well."
Li Yiqin glared at Ye Beishan for a few times, "I didn't make this for you, there's still a lot to do."
Ye Beishan knew he had said the wrong thing and scratched his head embarrassedly, "I don't want to eat either. I'm here to serve my guests."
"Alright, alright, kill two more of the chickens we have in the yard. Kill the roosters! We need to keep the hens for laying eggs."
Ye Beishan went to kill a chicken, but Li Yiqun followed him out of concern.
Zhang Juexia went into the kitchen to prepare hot water.
In the kitchen, Pang Xiujuan was sitting by the big pot in a daze, which really scared Zhang Juexia. "Mom, why are you here?"
"This is my home, I can sit wherever I want, what's it to you?
But you, why are you coming to my house?
Are you also looking at the eldest wife who is about to climb up the social ladder and rushing to curry favor with her?
Zhang Juexia, I really underestimated you. I am your mother-in-law, and you don't serve me, but instead work like a slave for the eldest wife."
Pang Xiujuan's words made Zhang Juexia angry. Someone came to propose to Ye Suyun. As a family, shouldn't he help? Why did he let her say such a bad thing?
In order to consider the overall situation, she suppressed her anger and said a few words to her, "This is your home and I really can't control you. If you want to sit here, just sit here!
Don't act like a mother-in-law in front of me. It's true that Ye Beixiu is your son, but now you are my third uncle's wife, so I can call you my third aunt.
If you don't believe me, I can ask Uncle San when he comes.
I guess he would be happy to do so."
"You...you vicious woman."
"It doesn't matter if she's a ruthless woman or not, as long as your son likes her."
Zhang Juexia pressed on, forcing Pang Xiujuan directly to the stove. "You asked for it when I spoke to you like this. Also, you know what day it is today. If you mess things up, you'll be in trouble."
"you......."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you don't know how to speak, just shut up. They're killing chickens outside. Since you're sitting here, you have to work. Hurry and boil some hot water."
Pang Xiujuan sat there without moving.
Zhang Juexia raised his voice, "You didn't hear me, why don't you hurry up and light the fire and boil some water."
Pang Xiujuan was obviously frightened by Zhang Juexia, and reluctantly got up to add water to the pot.
Seeing that she listened to him, Zhang Juexia went to do other work.
She looked back at Pang Xiujuan and shook her head involuntarily. People like Pang Xiujuan really couldn't give her a good face.
I don't know why she did this.
Ever since Zhang Juexia had close contacts with the people in the first house, she felt that they treated Ye Beixiu much better than Pang Xiujuan and Ye Yunliang.
Pang Xiujuan is Ye Beixiu's biological mother, and is now married to Ye Yunliang.
Ye Yunliang is Ye Beixiu's third uncle. With this relationship, Ye Yunliang should treat Ye Beixiu closer.
But this case is just the opposite. Ye Yunliang rarely meets Ye Beixiu except when he has to step forward.
Pang Xiujuan wanted to make her presence felt everywhere, but Ye Beixiu didn't give her any chance.
The more Zhang Juexia thought about it, the bigger his head became. Why was this relationship so complicated?
She shook her head, not wanting to think about it.
Ye Yunliang came back from buying meat. When he saw Zhang Juexia, he was slightly stunned and then greeted her.
Zhang Juexia politely returned the greeting and took the dish from his hand, "Grandma, let me help my sister-in-law cook."
"Okay, I'll go inside and have some tea."
Seeing Pang Xiujuan busy in the kitchen, Ye Yunliang went to the main room without saying hello.
Pang Xiujuan looked at Ye Yunliang with eager eyes, and was extremely disappointed when she saw Ye Yunliang leave.
Zhang Juexia didn't have time to pay attention to her. She opened the piece of meat that Ye Yunliang handed over. It was a big piece, weighing five or six pounds.
She thought she could use the pork belly, which had a balanced amount of fat and lean meat, to make braised pork.
However, this is not her home after all, so she still needs to have a sense of boundaries. She decided to wait for Li Yiqun to come and listen to Li Yiqun's opinion.
Li Yiqin took the killed chicken and placed it on the chopping board. "Aunt San, can you help me chop the chicken?"
Pang Xiujuan didn't say anything and just walked towards the chopping board.
"Xia'er, this piece of meat Uncle San bought is good. Just make braised pork according to the way you make it at home!"
"I'm just waiting for my sister-in-law to make arrangements."
"You're such a clever bastard."
"Sister-in-law, do you have any starch at home?"
Li Yiqin asked, "What is starch? I've never heard of it."
Since I haven't heard of it, then it doesn't exist. Zhang Juexia didn't want to waste any more words, "Originally, I was thinking of making four-happiness meatballs with the remaining meat, but since there is none, forget it."
Time was tight and the cooking task was urgent, so Li Yiqin didn't ask any more questions.
"Xia'er, Third Aunt and I will do the odd jobs, and you will be the chef. We'll do whatever you say."
"Sister-in-law, do you have any dry goods at home?"
"We have all the mushrooms and wood ear mushrooms we picked when we went up the mountain this summer, along with dried beans and eggplants. I'll get them. Xia'er, the eggs are in the cupboard next to you. If you need them, feel free to use them. We really can't skimp on our meal today, okay?"
Zhang Juexia nodded seriously.
She knew what was important and what was not. She had an idea of what was going on when she heard the laughter in the main room just now.
I'm afraid both families are satisfied with the marriage between Ye Suyun and Zhao Xin.
At this time, she can't let down her guard.
