"Eat, eat! All you ever think about is food! What else is on your mind besides food?" Madam Qiao couldn't help but berate her most beloved third son.
Because he was young, the family always gave him all the best food and drinks. They didn't know when it started, but all this son cared about was eating. He's already over 30, but he hasn't thought about finding a job. He just spends all his time eating and living off them. Looking at Zhang Ru, who sits beside him with a completely carefree expression...
I thought finding a wife would make my son more diligent, but instead, we got another lazybones. She can't do anything except cook. If she weren't so easy to manage, I would have kicked her out long ago... They haven't had a child in all these years. Thinking about how lazy they are, it's probably better that they don't have children; otherwise, we'd have to support another person in the family.
Zhang Ru turned to the side; she didn't want to be scolded by her mother-in-law at this moment. Since she was already there, she might as well make the best of it. Could the old folks really kick them out?
After lunch, Su Chenhao and Qiao Haisheng said goodbye and left.
Qiao Tianli saw them off to the door and only turned back after watching their car ride away.
Just now at the dinner table, Su Chenhao mentioned the matter of gift money, and that's when he realized what his wife had done.
When the two discussed it, he made it clear that the money this time would be paid from the public account, which meant that all future gift money would also be paid from the public account.
He wanted his eldest son to accept this favor and plan for the future, but he almost ruined it. He stormed back into the house and saw Qiao Sunshi lying on the kang (a heated brick bed) with her eyes closed, seemingly lost in thought.
The son and daughter-in-law didn't say a word when they saw him come in. Some sat on the kang (a heated brick bed), and some sat in chairs, looking dejected, which was particularly infuriating.
"What are you doing? Are you trying to oppose me?"
Zhang Ru shuddered in fright and quickly stood up, saying, "Dad, I wanted to go out to cook lunch, but Mom suddenly felt unwell, so I couldn't go out."
"You're so lazy, it's a real misfortune for the Qiao family to have a daughter-in-law like you."
"Dad!" Zhang Ru wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to say. She didn't want to offend her mother-in-law, and now she didn't want to offend her father-in-law either.
"Don't argue with the child. I was the one who told her not to go out and cook. You two are eating just fine even without anyone cooking, aren't you?" Qiao Sunshi sat up, throwing back the covers. "I was giving you all sorts of meaningful glances in the room just now, why wouldn't you let me say a word?"
"You make all the decisions, what's the point of me being in this house?"
“What do you want to say?” Sun Tianli pointed at her and said, “Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking. The child is so young, and you’re already thinking about finding her a boyfriend.”
Why didn't you discuss this with me? If the boss hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known what kind of family you found.
I'm so embarrassed, I don't even know where to put my face! Are you even my real grandmother?
Having her weaknesses exposed, Qiao Sunshi's momentum weakened. "You've met the Lu family's child before. Although he's not good-looking, he's a decent person."
Once Xiao Ni marries into the family, she can be the head of the household and won't have the trouble of a mother-in-law. She can simply enjoy a life of leisure after entering the family.
I think this marriage is a good one, who knows if they'll be unhappy about it?
"You've been married off with several people waiting to serve you, and you think that's a life of leisure? ... What's wrong with your head?" Qiao Tianli coughed several times before finally finishing his sentence.
