Su Mu glanced at Xu Xiuzhen, then ordered the spicy hot pot he wanted and added a note to make it extra spicy.
Over there, Xu Xiuzhen took her phone from her room and called Liao Nanxing in front of Su Mu.
Liao Nanxing, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by her phone.
"Mom, I've already called Mumu. She might be walking slowly. Please be patient and wait a little longer."
"She's here!" Xu Xiuzhen roared. "Son, you must say a few words of justice for your mother!"
She pressed the speakerphone button, turned the phone volume up to the maximum, and then recounted everything that had just happened, word for word.
Finally, she asked, "Tell me, what kind of daughter-in-law treats her mother-in-law like this? And oh, she actually eats takeout! What kind of junk food is that? She's about to become a mother, how can she not think about the baby in her belly at all?"
"She won't listen to me, you have to say something to her, right? If you keep spoiling her like this, will I even have a say in this family anymore?"
At this moment, Liao Nanxing felt a sense of powerlessness, as if she didn't want to live anymore.
For more than 20 years, Zhou Chunhua has always been accommodating to the old lady, and nothing like what happened today has ever happened before.
Without realizing it, he even started to miss the old days.
Lost in thought, I heard a huge argument erupting on my phone.
"Mom, Nanxing isn't available right now. Could you please give him some peace and quiet?"
"When did it become your place to point fingers and tell me what to do when I'm talking to my son?"
"Mom! What do you mean by 'outsider'? I'm going to be his wife!"
Whether or not you can be his wife isn't something he can decide for you!
"What a joke! The Qing Dynasty is long gone! This is a new era of free love! Does he have no say in his marriage? Who does?"
"I'm his mother! He can't marry you unless I give my consent!"
"..."
As the argument on the phone grew more and more heated, Liao Nanxing hung up the phone.
Then shut it down.
Otherwise, he was afraid he wouldn't live to see today.
Xu Xiuzhen, who had been arguing for a long time, finally realized the call had been disconnected. Furious, she dialed again, only to find that Liao Nanxing's phone was switched off.
Su Mu sneered and sat back on the sofa.
Upon hearing the mocking laughter, Xu Xiuzhen's face immediately turned a deep purplish-red.
Originally, her obedient son was her strong support.
But the son's reaction now says a lot.
She was furious, so she took out her key and locked the door from the inside.
"As long as I'm alive, you have no right to make decisions about this family!" With that, she turned and went into the bedroom without looking back.
After taking one pill, she felt a little better.
My stomach, which was originally growling with hunger, is now full of gas.
She pulled back the covers, lay down on the bed, and closed her eyes.
At that moment, Su Mu, who was in the living room, was dumbfounded.
She originally had a key to this place, but that day Anan asked her to move back to Xiyuan, and she left the key here when she left.
Now... what about her takeout?
After trying to open the door and confirming it was locked, Su Mu was so angry he could hardly breathe.
After sending a message to the delivery driver, she was so angry that she called Liao Nanxing.
The same robotic female voice as Xu Xiuzhen's came from the other end of the phone: "The number you dialed is currently switched off."
Su Mu stared blankly at her phone, so... Liao Nanxing dumped all this mess on her again!
It took Su Mu a long time to come to his senses.
She picked up her bag and went to Liao Nanxing's study.
At this point, the Liao family finally returned to its former peace.
However... just as night fell, Xu Xiuzhen woke up hungry.
After several attempts to fall asleep, she still couldn't fall asleep, and she sat up in frustration.
She inexplicably missed the days when Zhou Chunhua was around.
Back then, she made all the decisions about what the family ate and used every day. Zhou Chunhua never dared to say no to her.
Moreover, even if she gets hungry in the middle of the night, as long as she sends a WeChat message to Zhou Chunhua, no matter how late it is, Zhou Chunhua will get up to make her something to eat and bring it to her bedside.
Zhou Chunhua served her with utmost care, almost to the point of feeding her.
Unlike Su Mu, who talks back and challenges all the time!
It's all because Zhou Chunhua can't have children; otherwise, where would Su Mu come from?
After putting on her clothes, she had no choice but to get up and make something to eat herself.
As she passed the study, she glared angrily at the tightly closed door several times.
Entering the kitchen, Xu Xiuzhen turned on the light and rummaged through the plastic bags on the table.
Looking at the wilted vegetables, I couldn't help but frown.
She trembled with anger at the wilted, yellowed cabbages, the corn cobs with blackened or even moldy silks, and the celery that had lost all its firmness.
As for growing things, let alone here, even back in the countryside, they were used to feed pigs and chickens.
What does Su Mu mean?
It was intentional!
Enraged, Xu Xiuzhen took out a cabbage and began to peel off the leaves one by one.
If there were other food in the refrigerator, she would definitely have thrown these vegetables in the trash.
It wasn't until I broke off the heart of the cabbage that it started to look like a proper vegetable.
Wash it clean, cook it in noodles, and it's enough to barely fill my stomach.
But... the more she ate, the angrier she got!
He simply kicked the study twice while holding the noodles, then went back to his room to eat them.
Startled awake by the sudden noise in the study, Su Mu turned on the light and tremblingly opened the door to investigate.
There was nothing outside.
She peeked out and saw a light coming from Xu Xiuzhen's room.
So... only Xu Xiuzhen knocked on her door.
Su Mu muttered some curses, then closed the door, intending to continue sleeping.
