Chapter 366: Dinner Table Argument
After Aunt Wu prepared dinner, Ye Rou and Jiang Chen went downstairs and found that everyone was already seated at the table.
Ye Rou glanced at Tian Zihui sitting in the main seat and quickened her pace.
Jiang Chen tilted his head to look at her.
The fox's eyes were slightly curved, sparkling with excitement as if it was about to "do something".
Tian Zihui sat in the main seat, Liang Yushan, Ji Yan and Liang Anning sat on the right, and Ye Rou and Jiang Chen sat opposite them.
Three copper pots sat on the table, boiling water billowing, white mist rising from them. Red and white lamb slices, emerald green vegetables drenched in glistening water droplets, and chewy hand-rolled noodles…
A large table of food, lively and bustling.
When everyone was gathered, Liang Yushan's cold face broke into a smile. "We are all family, no need to be polite. Let's eat."
Jiang Chen had a broken arm and it was inconvenient for him to eat, so Ye Rou had to take care of him.
The two of them fed each other and cooperated very skillfully.
Liang An Ning stole a glance at Jiang Chen, and when she saw this scene, her eyes were filled with sourness.
"Brother Chen, why is your arm injured?"
Ji Yan looked at his daughter in surprise. When he saw two blushes on her face, he immediately understood what she was thinking and his face darkened.
“Pah.”
There was a crisp sound, so sudden that it attracted everyone's attention.
It’s Ye Rou.
She threw down her chopsticks, crossed her arms, and asked with obvious displeasure: "What did you call him?"
Liang An Ning felt a little guilty when she was suddenly questioned, but she was proud by nature and would not admit it even if she felt guilty.
He raised his chin and said as a matter of course: "Brother Chen, is there any problem?"
Logically speaking, this was Ye Rou's first day living in the Liang family. She should have swallowed her anger and gotten along well with Liang An Ning under the supervision of Liang Yushan and Tian Zihui.
But Ye Rou did not create a character for herself who would swallow her anger.
He sneered immediately, looked at Liang An Ning coldly, and said bluntly: "Of course there is a problem, Jiang Chen is my husband, you should call him brother-in-law."
"I don't have a sister like you." Liang An Ning said disdainfully.
As soon as these words came out, Ji Yan secretly thought that something was wrong.
But it was too late.
Liang Yushan's face darkened and he scolded, "Liang Anning!"
He looked extremely majestic, and his scolding in a low voice was particularly frightening.
Liang Yushan said unhappily, "Apologize to your sister."
"I didn't say anything wrong!" Liang An Ning felt even more aggrieved after being scolded by his father in public.
"Don't be angry with your dad." Ji Yan held Liang An Ning in place, then turned around and said to Liang Yushan in a low voice, "An Ning didn't mean it. She just needs some time to adapt. The two children will get along well when they live together in the future. Our interference will only make the relationship between the two sisters worse."
Liang Yushan knew An Ning's temper. She had been domineering since she was a child. As an only child, it was normal for her to not accept the sudden appearance of an older sister.
Ji Yan is right. If adults rashly interfere in matters between children, it will only increase conflicts and will not solve the problems.
Both of them are his daughters. Even if he doesn't like Ji Yan, An Ning is not wrong.
Whichever one you favor, you will hurt the other one.
"Watch your attitude." After Liang Yushan scolded Liang An Ning, he turned to Ye Rou and said, "Your sister is still young and doesn't understand things. As her elder sister, you should not bother with her."
Ye Rou heard the conversation between Ji Yan and Liang Yushan and knew their attitudes.
Ji Yan was clearly targeting her, there was nothing to say.
In order to make her and Liang An Ning get along well, Liang Yushan adopted a conciliatory attitude.
What interested Ye Rou was Tian Zihui.
The old lady sat silently in the main seat, eating slowly and leisurely, without paying any attention to the farce at the dinner table.
Ye Rou noticed her eating movements and frowned slightly.
Tian Zihui's every move was impeccable, without any vulgar behavior, and her manners were excellent.
My grandfather said that the Liang family was extremely poor in the past. They didn’t even have a warm cotton coat in the winter. The couple worked hard all day to support their son.
How could a poor woman from such a family be so polite in her every move?
strangeness.
Tian Zihui seemed to notice something and looked up at Ye Rou.
Ye Rou was calm and managed a smile.
He said to Liang An Ning very naturally, "I will let you go this time, but if I hear you call me brother Chen again, I won't be so easy to talk to."
Ye Rou came to the Liang family with the purpose of investigating Tian Zihui, and had no time to get entangled with Liang An Ning about these trivial family matters.
Seeing her let go, Liang Yushan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Rou, you are still sensible." After praising Ye Rou, he turned his head and glared at Liang An Ning. Seeing that she was still unconvinced, he said with some warning: "Liang An Ning, learn more from your sister."
"Learn from her?" This sentence stirred up a hornet's nest, and Liang An Ning immediately exploded.
She was not a good-tempered and tolerant person to begin with, and after being scolded by Liang Yushan again and again, the resentment in her heart spread wildly.
Liang An Ning pointed at Ye Rou and said dissatisfiedly: "She spent so much money from the family, and you still praised her for being sensible!"
"What nonsense!" Liang Yushan was annoyed by Liang An Ning's repeated provocative behavior.
Liang An Ning said aggrievedly and angrily: "I'm talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, ask my mother. Let her tell you how much money she spent on buying those things for your precious daughter!"
Ji Yan was already concerned about the money, and it seemed like she was being too fussy when she brought it up, but since An Ning had brought it up, she decided to go with the flow.
Facing Liang Yushan's questioning gaze, she pretended to be embarrassed and said, "The flowers have already been spent, what's the point of worrying about the amount?"
Liang An Ning insisted, "Mom, if you don't tell me, Dad will never know how hard you've worked. He'll think Ye Rou is sensible!"
Ye Rou didn't even glance at the acting mother and daughter.
The mutton was tender and Ye Rou enjoyed it.
The food in front of her was not enough, so Ye Rou also took the mutton placed next to Liang An Ning and Ji Yan.
I cooked the meat seriously and fed it to Jiang Chen and myself.
Liang Yushan was already a little impatient. He just wanted to have a warm and reunion family dinner, but now it had turned out like this.
He suppressed his displeasure and urged, "Ji Yan, if you have any grievances, speak up first. If you don't want to speak up, just swallow it and don't say anything in the future."
When Liang Yushan said this, it was obvious that he was on Ye Rou's side.
Ji Yan pinched her palms and blamed Liang Yushan in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face.
She shook her head and said softly, "I have nothing to complain about. Let's eat. The meat is already old."
Liang An Ning, however, felt aggrieved on behalf of her mother and said, "Mom, if you don't say anything, I'll say it. Dad, you always teach me that making money isn't easy and I need to work hard. You say that money doesn't come easily and you ask Mom and me to save money. But what about her?"
Pointing an angry finger at Ye Rou.
"The Simmons mattress she ordered is almost two hundred dollars. This is what you call a sensible daughter! And you even asked me to learn from her, haha."
Liang Yushan's expression was unclear, but Ye Rou laughed out loud.
She was gorgeous and charming, and her smile was like a blooming spring flower. Liang An Ning found it even more dazzling, "What are you laughing at!"
Ye Rou spoke.
Her voice was so sweet, soft and pleasant that Liang An Ning didn't react at first.
"I'm laughing at your mother. If you don't have money, don't try to act rich."
