Chapter 60 Eating Together
Zhao Fengxiu ignored him, and in the oppressive atmosphere, she suddenly shouted again.
"Where's the food? When will it be served? Are you trying to starve me to death?"
Startled, Liu Shiping and Liu Xiangqian rushed to urge the restaurant staff to check on the progress of their work in the kitchen.
Meanwhile, Liu Caiping's two sons, who were standing next to her, would occasionally cast surprised glances at Zhao Fengxiu!
No wonder my cousins are doing so well, always loafing around; it turns out my aunt's family is so powerful!
Unlike their own mother, who is so timid and submissive!
After watching Liu Caiping, the eldest aunt of the Liu family, for so long, I finally couldn't help but say, "Second sister-in-law, why are you still so shrewish?"
You really angered our mother and she left. Your husband is going to cry his eyes out. What kind of wife are you? You haven't had any contact with your sisters-in-law for decades...
Zhao Fengxiu interrupted, "What's it to you? His older sister didn't say a word back then, so why are you making such a fuss now?"
When the Huang family was so arrogant, did you say a word? You didn't dare utter a single word!
Liu Caiping naturally wouldn't allow Zhao Fengxiu to act so recklessly.
Whatever she says here, she's the elder!
Liu Caiping, with the plump, robust figure typical of rural women, stood with her arms outstretched and hands on her hips, saying, "Whether I say anything or not is none of your business..."
She was about to breathe fire when her two sons immediately told her to put it out.
The eldest son, Fang Zhiqiang, said, "Alright! Mom, if you're incompetent, then shut up! It's shameful!"
Fang Siyuan, the second son, also gave Liu Caiping a cold glance and said irritably, "What did your second aunt do to you? She didn't say anything about you, so why are you making a fuss?"
When they started to speak, Zhao Fengxiu paused, thinking they were going to talk about herself.
Unexpectedly, they attacked Liu Caiping!
Liu Caiping never expected that her two sons, whom she loved and cherished so dearly, would side with someone else!
Liu Caiping felt a pang of pain in her heart, but even more so, she felt wronged.
"Zhiqiang, Siyuan, I'm your mother. How can you side with outsiders?"
Fang Zhiqiang turned his face away, too lazy to pay attention to her, and instead said to Zhao Fengxiu, "Second Aunt, don't take my mother seriously. She's just a rural woman and doesn't know anything."
Fang Siyuan then scolded Liu Caiping, "What outsider? She's our second aunt! As for you, you don't have a brain at all as our mother!"
"My second and third uncles' families were fighting fiercely against the Huang family, and my second aunt was also involved. And you? You just hid on the sidelines watching the whole thing! What good are you?"
Liu Caiping was in the wrong, so naturally she didn't know how to deal with the Huang family.
After all, no one was there to direct her or tell her what to do! Besides, she didn't dare offend the Huang family.
"I, I..."
Fang Siyuan said coldly, "Stop talking about me. You only dare to be arrogant because Grandma went to the side and your second and third uncles went to urge the food to be cooked."
How shameful! He's not as capable as my second aunt; all he does is gossip here!
The two brothers showed their disdain and publicly criticized Liu Caiping. She lowered her head and sat down silently without saying a word.
Liu Caiping muttered, "Yes, Mom was wrong, it was Mom's fault..."
Liu Jianguo and the others looked on with surprise, wondering why their cousins were acting this way.
She treated my mother much worse than I ever have!
With this comparison, Liu Jianguo and the others felt more at ease.
Zhao Fengxiu would naturally make the same comparison, as her own children had done similar things before, although none of them had gone as far as her two nephews.
But each has its own merits!
Thinking of this, Zhao Fengxiu recalled the life of Liu Caiping's family in her previous life.
Although these two nephews are not as biased towards me as they are in this life, they were pretty much the same in the previous life, only caring about outsiders and not about their families!
He also admired Liu Shiping and often associated with Liu Jianbang and Liu Jiancheng.
Liu Caiping always came to the oil pressing shop to cause trouble, buying and weighing oil arbitrarily without spending any money.
One day, Zhao Fengxiu learned that the two sons of the Fang family were born traitors!
They praise whoever is good, and immediately criticize whoever is not good!
In her previous life, Zhao Fengxiu only realized later that although she was not greatly affected, Liu Caiping was truly miserable!
Two sons, two daughters-in-law, and five or six grandchildren were all raised by Liu Caiping, who personally cared for them from infancy to adulthood!
My uncle-in-law doesn't care about anything and doesn't do anything!
Liu Caiping had no job and made a meager living by farming and harvesting rice in the countryside.
Taking care of her grandchildren has worn her back out from exhaustion.
As the children grew up, they all went to live with their parents and never visited their grandmother. She collapsed from exhaustion in the countryside and passed away early.
Zhao Fengxiu had at least twenty more years of life left in her previous life.
Liu Caiping only has about ten years left!
The reason Liu Caiping and her family were able to attend the banquet today is because their two sons are outstanding and have decent jobs in the local area to support themselves.
Only then did Liu Caiping dare to bring her two sons to her third brother's wedding banquet.
From a young age, the old lady Yang did not value her eldest daughter Liu Caiping much in the Liu family. She made her take care of her second and third younger brothers and do their laundry and cooking!
It can be said that Liu Shiping and Liu Xiangqian were raised by Liu Caiping for more than ten years.
Liu Caiping, who is only three years older than Liu Shiping, is only fifty-five years old!
Zhao Fengxiu recalled the events and her expression darkened.
However, what the two nephews said was not wrong. Liu Caiping only dared to speak up when Yang Laotai was not around!
No.
Once Liu Shiping and Liu Xiangqian returned, Liu Caiping completely disappeared from the public eye!
Not to mention, she wouldn't dare utter a single fart when facing a crisis for the Huang family.
Liu Caiping wouldn't dare!
The reason why Old Lady Yang could dote on her granddaughter instead of her eldest daughter was entirely because she loved Liu Xiangqian so much that she extended that affection to Liu Zhenyu.
In the end, Liu Caiping's trust was misplaced.
Liu Xiangqian came in and asked curiously, "What were you talking about just now?"
He seemed to hear some indistinct words outside the door.
Liu Shiping glanced at Zhao Fengxiu's face, remaining calm; it was good that his wife was alright.
He knew his elder sister's temperament. He had personally witnessed her scolding Zhao Fengxiu until she cried when they got married years ago.
This is probably one of the reasons why the wife wants to go back to her parents' home.
Fang Zhiqiang said, "It's nothing. Second Uncle, Third Uncle, and Second Aunt are hungry. Please serve the food!"
Liu Shiping nodded. "We'll be there soon."
The little incident passed.
During the meal, Old Mrs. Yang was speechless, too lazy to pay attention to Zhao Fengxiu, that shrew.
Not even his son, daughter-in-law, grandson, or granddaughter helped him!
All they know is how to elevate themselves!
Grandma Yang felt bad, but she didn't say anything.
Liu Caiping also felt wronged. Her son was helping Zhao Fengxiu but not her. She wanted to quietly approach her mother for comfort, but Old Lady Yang disdainfully moved away from her.
Liu Caiping's world has collapsed...
Over there, Liu Jiancheng and Liu Jiangong praised Liu Zhenyan for his bravery and decisiveness!
Liu Jianmei comforted Liu Zhenyu, who looked worried, "Don't be sad, try to think more positively."
Liu Zhenyu ate much more slowly, while the men over there ate so fast their chopsticks were practically blurry!
Liu Zhenyu sighed.
Just as Old Lady Yang was about to offer some words of comfort, Zhao Fengxiu chimed in, "Why are you sighing? You should be happy to have escaped the den of thieves!"
Old Mrs. Yang glared at Zhao Fengxiu, only to be met with a glare in return, so she could only silently look away.
Zhao Fengxiu continued, "It's better than being a slave in the Huang family."
Liu Xiangqian chimed in, "Your aunt is right. We should thank her this time, Second Sister-in-law."
He suddenly pulled out the small bag containing money from the side, startling everyone!
