Xu Hongying didn't even look at the water cup on the table, and snorted coldly: "I'm suddenly not thirsty anymore."
Gu Chengfeng immediately became angry. Shen Sisi had never served him tea or water, but now she came to serve his mother. In the end, his mother didn't appreciate it.
"Mom, Sisi and I are already married. She is my wife now, not your babysitter..."
Xu Hongying, however, was unmoved: "What's wrong with serving me? I respect her! What new daughter-in-law doesn't serve her mother-in-law? You think you are wronged by serving me a glass of water?"
Gu Chengfeng was so angry that his veins were throbbing. Bullying Shen Sisi made him even more furious than bullying him directly.
"Mom, Sisi has no obligation to take care of you..."
"You are so outrageous, how dare you talk to me like that..."
Shen Sisi finally understood who Gu Chengfeng’s temper was like.
He and Xu Hongying are both firecrackers who get angry at the slightest provocation. The mother and son will surely start quarreling after they have finished speaking.
...
...
They were very angry, and if she continued to fuel the fire, the two of them would definitely blow the roof off the house.
She looked at the large suitcase on the ground. Xu Hongying was ready to stay and fight a protracted battle.
But she was not afraid. For Niuniu, she had suffered all kinds of hardships and endured all kinds of humiliation, not to mention that Gu Chengfeng was on her side.
Shen Sisi calmed down and put the water cup on the table into Gu Chengfeng's hand: "You've been tired all morning, drink some water first!"
Gu Chengfeng was angry, but this sudden concern calmed him down.
He took the cup and obediently sat at the other end of the sofa.
Shen Sisi picked up another glass of water and stuffed it directly into Xu Hongying's palm: "Auntie, aren't you thirsty? Drink it too."
She looked calm, neither flattering nor timid, and her tone was full of irrefutable power.
Xu Hongying still repulsed her and slammed the cup on the table with a bang.
Shen Sisi just glanced at him indifferently, without any emotion.
This made Xu Hongying very frustrated. She was trying to make things difficult for her and was being cold to her, but why didn't Shen Sisi accept it?
Shen Sisi should be making a fuss. Didn’t Yang Qiuxia say that Shen Sisi has a very short temper? You dare to fight with others.
If she hits her old wife, she will definitely make Shen Sisi pay for it.
But now, she felt like she had punched soft cotton and had no place to vent her anger.
Shen Sisi looked up at the clock: "It's noon, I'll go make lunch."
She knew that Gu Chengfeng and Xu Hongying hadn't seen each other for a long time, so she asked them to have a good chat and not quarrel, and then she went straight into the kitchen.
Niuniu also followed in happily, hugging Shen Sisi's legs: "Mom, does that old lady really want to live with us? Niuniu is scared, I don't want her to stay..."
Xu Hongying has a loud voice and a bad temper, like a lioness who can explode at any time, which scared Niu Niu.
Shen Sisi squatted down and caressed the pale little face with heartache: "Niuniu, she is not an ordinary grandma, she is Dad's biological mother. If you are afraid of her, you don't have to play with her, but you have to have basic manners, understand?"
Niuniu nodded, not quite understanding: "Got it."
She stretched out her two index fingers and nodded in confusion: "Since she is Daddy's mother, then... let her stay."
At such a young age, he has learned to love everyone and everything in his house...
Shen Sisi lowered her head and kissed Niuniu, then filled a bowl with crushed corn kernels: "Go to the yard and help feed the chickens. The chickens also need lunch..."
Niuniu's eyes sparkled with light, and she snatched the small bowl: "Yeah, Niuniu likes feeding the chickens the most..."
The little girl ran out happily, and Gu Chengfeng pushed the door in with a sullen face.
Without waiting for Shen Sisi to speak, he took the initiative to wash the rice and cook.
"Sisi, I'm sorry. I'll handle this matter. I'll let her go back tonight." Gu Chengfeng rubbed the rice with a sullen tone.
Shen Sisi put the washed radish on the chopping board and shredded it, and pointed at Numen's big suitcase with her chin: "I'm afraid you can't solve this problem. The old lady came prepared."
Gu Chengfeng followed his gaze and saw the box, and suddenly fell silent.
Shen Sisi said: "If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our troops; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. Besides, she is your mother. Do you really want to stay away from home and face her for the rest of your life?"
Gu Chengfeng lowered his head even lower. After a long silence, he suddenly said, "I have never had a good relationship with them since I was a child."
"My dad is always busy and is not home for many days. My mom is raising three children alone and has a very bad temper. My older sister and younger sister are not easy to get along with..."
The more he spoke, the quieter his voice became. No matter what, he would protect Shen Sisi.
"So, you don't have to consider my face. If she bullies you, you must not tolerate it. Tell me and I will vent your anger for you..."
Gu Chengfeng placed the pot heavily on the stove.
The blade of the knife that was cutting vegetables paused for a second. Was she venting her anger? Are mother and son really going to turn against each other?
This old lady came here deliberately to make things difficult for her. There was always friction between them. She had to rely on Gu Chengfeng to take the lead in everything, which made Gu Chengfeng very annoyed.
He was thinking one thing in his mind, but he didn't show it on his face and hummed, "Okay."
Time was tight at noon, so Shen Sisi cooked a big pot of shredded pork and radish, put two layers of cabbage at the bottom of the pot, and put it on the stove to eat as a hot pot.
Seeing that there was only one dish, Xu Hongying raised her nose and started to pick out the thorns.
"I came all the way here, and you treat me with cabbage and radishes?"
Gu Chengfeng put down his chopsticks and was about to get angry, but Shen Sisi smiled sweetly and said, "Auntie, you are Chengfeng's mother, which means you are one of us. We don't treat you as an outsider."
"This is how we usually eat. If you think it's ugly, I'll make you braised pork this afternoon."
"What a great sentence you say: you don't treat me as an outsider. You are really good..." Xu Hongying was so angry that she was gasping for breath. Seeing that everyone picked up their bowls and chopsticks, she also picked up the chopsticks reluctantly.
It wasn't that she was afraid of Shen Sisi, but she was tired from the long journey and was a little hungry.
Seeing that his mother did not make a fuss but started to pick up food, Gu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows in surprise.
“Eat it!”
Shen Sisi was trying to put some food into Niu Niu's bowl, but found that the little girl was curling up her arms, and she didn't know what she was doing.
"Niuniu, what's wrong? Is the food not to your taste?"
She raised her short little arms, and underneath them lay two eggs, one big and one small.
"Mom, I'm hatching chicks!"
"Hatching chicks?" Shen Sisi was surprised and happy when she looked at the eggs. The chicken she bought laid eggs, and laid two eggs.
"Silly girl, you won't be able to hatch chicks like this." Shen Sisi told her that hatching chicks requires body temperature very close to the skin, and it takes a long time to incubate.
When Niu Niu heard this, she thought it was very troublesome. After hesitating for a while, she decided to take out the eggs.
She gave the big one to her mother and originally wanted to give the other one to her father, but thinking of her mother's advice to be polite, she timidly reached out her hand and handed the egg to Xu Hongying.
"Grandma, this is for you..."
