Ma Yulian made it clear that she was not cooperating with Li Junsheng, and at the same time, she showed a strong dislike for Tang Liang.
This left Tang Liang somewhat at a loss, and for a moment he felt ashamed!
The most embarrassed person was Li Xiaoyu.
She brought her boyfriend home, but he had to constantly watch his mother's expression, and she always felt a little guilty towards him...
Li Xiaoyu didn't understand why her mother couldn't sit down and talk things out. At least the guest was a guest, and this way of treating a guest was really a bit ill-mannered!
To avoid an awkward situation, Li Xiaoyu quickly smoothed things over.
"It's okay, Mom. Since you twisted your hand, don't cook today. How about my sister-in-law and I take care of lunch?"
Li Xiaoyu turned to look at her sister-in-law. She remembered that her brother had been quite welcoming to Tang Liang just now, and had personally accepted the gift from him!
However, Li Guojun was only after the gifts. Now, Li Xiaoyu wanted to ask her sister-in-law Wang Xiuhua for help. Wang Xiuhua looked at Li Xiaoyu coldly and said, "Oh, fourth sister, have you forgotten? Didn't we separate the family at the dinner table yesterday? We eat separately from Mom and Dad, and we don't interfere with each other. Your words have made Dad's family's division of property pointless!"
At this moment, Li Xiaoyu truly had nowhere to turn for help!
Her second brother and sister treated her the best, but after her second brother got married, she was kicked out to rent a place, and her sister also got married.
If they were there, they would definitely help me out of this predicament.
Ignoring Li Xiaoyu's embarrassment, Wang Xiuhua instead began to mock and ridicule Li Junsheng regardless of the occasion!
“Xiaoyu, don’t blame your sister-in-law for not helping you. Dad insisted on separating the family property. He thinks he can manage on his own and doesn’t need your brother and me to take care of him.”
“We have no choice but to eat separately from now on. You will eat with your father-in-law and mother-in-law. From now on, you will be responsible for all three meals a day as long as you are home!”
Wang Xiuhua gave Li Junsheng a good dressing down, almost pointing her finger at him and scolding him for being incompetent yet insisting on separating the family, only to find that he couldn't even cook and had to rely on his youngest daughter.
Li Xiaoyu frowned, feeling that her sister-in-law had gone a bit too far!
"It's alright, I'll go prepare lunch for today!"
Tang Liang, who was standing nearby, also noticed something amiss. The situation at home was similar to what Xiaoyu had described.
Her parents don't get along, and her older brother and sister-in-law don't take her father seriously either!
To avoid embarrassing Li Junsheng, Tang Liang quickly added, "Xiaoyu and I are making lunch together. I can cook too, so today I'll let my older brother, sister-in-law, uncle, and aunt try my cooking."
"No need, Xiao Tang, sit down first. You and Xiao Yu don't need to worry about lunch today."
Li Junsheng asked Tang Liang to sit down first, politely declining his kindness.
Li Junsheng turned his head and glanced at Li Guojun. This boss had been harboring resentment towards him ever since the family dinner last night, deliberately refusing to speak to him and giving him a hard time!
In his previous life, Li Junsheng would have thought twice before giving him a way out.
But in this life, Li Junsheng has no intention of indulging his bad temper!
Wang Xiuhua and Ma Yulian were also uncooperative today, making sarcastic remarks in front of Xiao Tang. Did they think that by throwing a tantrum, he would regret his decision to separate the family?
Li Junsheng sneered, thinking to himself that they underestimated him too much. Did these three really think he was as useless as he was in his previous life?
The three of them think they can control me?
Keep dreaming!
"Uncle, my cooking skills are actually quite good. I brought some good wine with me today, so please give me a chance to show off my culinary skills."
Tang Liang smiled, not feeling at all that there was anything wrong with cooking on his first visit.
Li Junsheng nodded to himself; this young man was indeed honest.
Li Xiaoyu quickly chimed in, "Yes, Dad, Tang Liang's cooking is pretty good!"
Upon hearing this, Ma Yulian immediately retorted with disgust, "How could I have given birth to such a good-for-nothing daughter? You're not even married yet, and you're already eating other people's food. Don't you have any food at home?"
Li Xiaoyu and Tang Liang were both taken aback, but Li Junsheng stood up abruptly from the sofa with a cold face.
Ma Yulian was startled, thinking he was going to slap her again, and quickly moved away.
"Xiao Tang, this is your first time at home. You're a guest, after all. It's not right to let a guest cook. Next time you come, I'll try your cooking. Today at noon, I'll take you and Xiao Yu to a state-run restaurant!"
Upon hearing Li Junsheng's words, Li Guojun and his wife were both angry and jealous, as Li Junsheng had never mentioned taking his family out to eat before.
But today you're being so nice to a complete stranger!
Besides, while his own father was generous to Tang Liang, he still skimped on the money for eating out!
Li Guojun couldn't take it anymore, so he kicked the table and gave Li Junsheng a hard time.
Li Junsheng saw that his boss was giving him the cold shoulder, but he couldn't be bothered to pay him any attention.
Li Xiaoyu really didn't want to stay at home any longer. With her mother Ma Yulian there, plus her angry older brother and sister-in-law, the atmosphere at home was simply unbearable!
"Then we'll follow Dad's arrangements."
Li Xiaoyu nodded to Tang Liangliang and told him they could go to a restaurant.
I can just pay for it myself!
Tang Liang brought some money with him on this trip, enough for a meal at a restaurant, so he felt confident.
Li Junsheng glanced at Ma Yulian and asked her perfunctorily, "Are you going or not?"
When a daughter brings her boyfriend home, it's always hoped that Ma Yulian can also come along as a formality. Otherwise, what if her family feels that Xiaoyu's family doesn't value her and gives her a hard time?
But Ma Yulian, knowing her own importance, probably became arrogant and didn't give him any face!
Hearing this, Ma Yulian rolled her eyes and said irritably, "I'm not going. He only brought this little bit of stuff, and you're still inviting him to a state-run restaurant? Aren't you worried about not having money for your retirement?"
"I think you really don't know your place. You get cocky just because you have a little money. You've lost your job, and with all that money you have, let's see how long you can keep it up!"
Li Junsheng ignored Ma Yulian's words completely.
Anyway, it was just a token question; if she doesn't go, that's fine!
With him backing her up, Xiaoyu has more than enough!
Li Junsheng didn't say much to Ma Yulian, but turned to Tang Liang and Li Xiaoyu and said with a smile, "Xiao Tang, Xiaoyu, let's go now, we'll have a couple of drinks later."
"good!"
Li Junsheng led his men away without giving Ma Yulian even a second glance.
This infuriated Ma Yulian to the point of gritting her teeth!
He plopped down on the sofa, crossed his arms, and sulked.
Li Guojun and Wang Xiuhua didn't say much to her. The two went back into the house, and a moment later, Wang Xiuhua went to the kitchen to cook!
Ma Yulian may still seem angry, but she has actually been keeping a close eye on what's happening in the kitchen.
I was thinking that I could have lunch soon!
A moment later, Wang Xiuhua brought two bowls of noodles into the house, closed the door with Li Guojun, and started eating by herself without asking Ma Yulian if she wanted to eat.
Ma Yulian stood up and went to the kitchen to take a look. She found that there was not more than half a bowl of noodles left in the pot. Wang Xiuhua had clearly only cooked rice for her and her eldest son!
Seeing this, Ma Yulian was both angry and hungry, and her eyes were dizzy.
"Fine, fine, they're all heartless, ungrateful wretches! I really can't stand being in this house any longer!"
Ma Yulian cursed in the kitchen, then stormed out, her face full of anger, heading straight for Chen Dazhu's house!
