Mr. and Mrs. Chu had been in the car all the way and were already hungry. Seeing that Pidan was eating heartily, they were reluctant to say anything to their great-grandson. They just picked up their chopsticks and greeted everyone, "Okay, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get home!"
When Su Nian saw that the roast duck was gone, she called the waiter over and asked him to bring another duck.
Unexpectedly, this action irritated Old Lady Chu again. She glanced at Su Nian and said sarcastically, "Your father-in-law is generous enough to let you eat at the table, but you should be careful about your behavior. The food outside is expensive, so you dare not eat too much, understand?"
Wu Lan is currently gnawing on a piece of pig's trotter. She is an athlete and has a competition soon, which consumes a lot of physical energy. She must eat something nutritious to replenish her energy.
Hearing what Old Lady Chu said, Wu Lan held back and didn't retort. She just looked up and glanced at the old lady. She was straightforward, and this glance clearly showed no respect.
Old Mrs. Chu was so angry that she put down her chopsticks and said, "What are you looking at?"
Chu Nancheng was the most protective of his wife. He worked tirelessly, picking up half of the newly served roast duck and putting it in his wife's bowl. "Grandma, my parents treated us today, and we didn't spend any of your money. Wu Lan still has training. How can she participate in training if she's not full?"
Chu Beichen had long realized that the two old men in the Chu family were even more confused. Su Nian was pregnant, and he was afraid that Su Nian would go hungry, so he quickly rolled two pancakes for her.
Seeing that her grandson was protecting his wife and not taking her words to heart, Old Mrs. Chu was so angry that her face turned blue.
As soon as Mrs. Chu entered the room, she glared at Mother Chu. Seeing this awkward situation, Mother Chu remained silent, so Father Chu had to step in himself. "Waiter, double portions of sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed pork with rice flour, and spicy and sour hairtail fish."
Old Madam Chu pounded the table in anger, "Yingjie, what's wrong with you? The older you get, the less you know how to live. Everyone hasn't eaten yet, and you keep adding more dishes? Do you think you have too much money?"
"Look at what your brothers are doing at home. What are they wearing? They've been in the capital for such a long time, and you, as the eldest brother, haven't even taken your brothers' children to make new clothes."
"Instead, you are eating and drinking to your heart's content here. Don't you feel uncomfortable in your heart?" It can be seen that the old lady is a person with clear ideas and good words. In just a few words, she once again put Chu's father in the spotlight.
Father Chu added more dishes to calm things down. Both of his sons didn't want to come to the dinner today, so he forced his sons and daughters-in-law to come in order to build momentum for Mr. and Mrs. Chu.
But as soon as the food was served, the old lady asked her two daughters-in-law to eat less, as Wu Lan was an athlete and had very high requirements for nutrition.
Su Nian is a pregnant woman and cannot be hungry at all. It is totally unreasonable for her to mobilize so many people and not feed them enough.
Unexpectedly, Old Lady Chu caught hold of Mr. Chu's action and felt that he had treated his brother Chu Yinghao unfairly.
Father Chu was angry. He knew his younger brother well. He was a man with high expectations but poor skills, and his temper was worse than athlete's foot. That was why he had only been able to make ends meet over the years.
"It's not right for you to say that. As the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly. I welcome Chu Yinghao to visit me, but how he lives, what he eats, drinks and wears is none of my business." Father Chu became alert after hearing what the old lady said and wanted to distinguish himself from his brother.
