Father Chu has been working hard all these years and has been able to get along well with everyone in the company. He is considered a shrewd man. When he saw his mother's gaze, he immediately pulled his wife over to protect him. "Mom, Yuwen has been married to our family for these years. She has taken care of the housework for me and gave birth to two sons."
"She's worked hard for this family. I know you may have had some misunderstandings about her in the past, but let's not talk about those things in the past anymore. Now let's live a good life together as a family! Don't make things unpleasant right after we meet!"
After hearing what Father Chu said, Old Madam Chu swallowed the words on the tip of her tongue and looked away. "Yingjie, since you said so, then we will do as you say. Now that you are older and the most successful person in our family, the Chu family will depend on you from now on!"
Father Chu nodded repeatedly, "It's my duty to help the family. We can talk about these things later. Let's go eat first!"
Considering that it would be convenient for Mr. and Mrs. Chu to go home, the restaurant ordered Hunan cuisine from nearby. The Chu family had dined there before and found it economical and delicious, making it perfect for family gatherings.
In this case, Chu Nancheng and Chu Beichen would need to drive over. The two brothers were sensible and did not delay, arriving at the hotel early.
Mr. and Mrs. Chu were very happy to see that their two grandsons were both handsome and had beautiful wives. Speaking of which, Mr. Chu Yingjie had been away from home for many years and had started a family and had children without asking for a penny from the family, which saved them a lot of worry.
However, when Mr. and Mrs. Chu saw that the meal was about to begin and Mrs. Chu and her two daughters-in-law had no intention of leaving, they all frowned.
When Father Chu saw this, he quickly explained, "Yuwen is from another place, and neither of my daughters-in-law's families has a rule of not sitting at the table for dinner. Besides, I've been in Beijing for so many years, and I've never seen anyone do this."
"Now that I live in Beijing, I have to follow the local customs. To avoid being laughed at by my colleagues, you two elders should stop bringing up the rules at home!"
Chu's father gave a shot of prevention. Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu looked at each other and were very disappointed with Chu's father's ability to manage the family. The old man sighed and said, "Yingjie, as soon as we entered the house, you stopped your mother from talking about your wife."
"Now you've even blocked my mouth. You've really grown wings and are becoming more and more capable!"
This was meant to be a sarcastic remark to Chu's father, but he had anticipated this. Without blushing, he calmly replied, "It's not that I'm controlling the elders, but the rules of our hometown are unreasonable. Women also take care of the household, so why can't they sit at the table to eat?"
"It's fine if the people back home have gotten used to it over the years, but Yu Wen and her two daughters-in-law are marrying into our family and living here, not to be bound by rules. I can't impose such rules on them!"
Mr. Chu gave a long speech, which was obviously well prepared. Old Man Chu sneered and was ready to continue arguing.
Seeing that the family had already started arguing before they had even eaten, Chu Beichen felt extremely annoyed and quickly interrupted them, "Haha, the food is already here. If you don't eat it, it will get cold!"
Everyone looked at the table and saw that Pi Dan had pushed the roast duck in front of him and had already eaten most of it!
You know, when eating roast duck, you have to slice off the skin and meat. For a fat duck, you can only slice off a plate of meat and a plate of skin at most, which is not much.
Now the preserved egg is munching away and the plate is almost empty!
