Zhou Xiulian turned and went into the kitchen. There was also some pork head meat bought by her husband, Lu, which was marinated with chopped green onions and coriander, and two ounces of chili oil, which was fragrant and spicy. She also fried two dishes, stewed a fish, and cooked a pot of rice before serving them on the table.
She is the canteen director and is in charge of the daily purchasing of groceries, so the things that this family has no shortage of are grain, vegetables, meat and the like.
Lu Yunshan looked at the table full of dishes, the heat rising up almost made his eyes red.
Zhou Xiulian felt even worse when she saw this. She gave him a full bowl of rice, put it in front of him, and said unhappily, "Come on, eat quickly. Look at you. You've become as thin as a monkey recently."
Lu Yunshan picked up the chopsticks and started eating. He ate three bowls of rice in one breath. Zhou Xiulian felt very sad. She quickly poured water and said, "Eat slowly. Be careful not to choke."
After Lu Yunshan finished his meal, he sat back in his chair contentedly, rubbing his stomach and burping. "Thank you, Mom. Your cooking is still the best."
"If you like it, come here more often. Ever since you married that guy named Shen, you haven't been home much. I thought you had forgotten which way the door faces."
Seeing that his mother was about to bring up that woman again, Lu Yunshan quickly changed the subject. He really didn't want to hear anything about that woman anymore.
"Mom, where's my dad? Why can't I see him?"
Zhou Xiulian sneered, naturally knowing what her son was up to, "Your father has a meeting tonight, so he won't come for dinner."
As she was talking, the door was opened from the outside, and someone said "Cao Wei, Cao Wei has arrived," and Father Lu rushed in carrying a briefcase.
Seeing Lu Yunshan, he was happy, "Hey, this is a rare guest, why did my son Tian think of the Xi family?"
Lu Yunshan was so embarrassed that his face turned red. "Isn't this me coming to see you and mom?"
"You little brat, you haven't been home for such a long time. You didn't know us and thought we were far away. You don't even come to visit us on an island!" Father Lu scolded him, but the smile on his face betrayed his good mood.
Lu Yunshan naturally knew that his father was joking with him, but he still felt a little guilty. He had indeed neglected his parents recently.
He was about to speak when he saw Father Lu's eyes sweeping around the house, and then asked in confusion, "Where's your wife? Why didn't she come with you?"
Lu Yunshan and Zhou Xiulian's faces suddenly turned dark.
Seeing that they were silent, Father Lu's smile faded. He took off his coat and put it on the sofa, and asked, "What's wrong? Did you quarrel with your wife again?"
Lu Yunshan quickly forced a smile, "No, how could we quarrel? I just missed you and mom, so I came to see you. She went to work in the fields every day and was too tired, so I didn't go with her."
His son was unwilling to say more, and Father Lu didn't want to expose the truth either. He just sighed and said, "I hope so. Since you are already married, you have to learn to tolerate each other's shortcomings. Otherwise, how are you going to live for the next few decades?"
"You are a man, you should learn to be nicer to her and don't bother with that girl Jiaojiao..." Before Father Lu finished speaking, Zhou Xiulian's sharp voice interrupted him.
"Mr. Lu, why do you want my son to give in to that damned girl? She is greedy and lazy, she doesn't do anything good, she just makes trouble for us Yunshan every day, and yet you still give in to her? If it were in the old society, I would have divorced her."
Father Lu pointed at Zhou Xiulian helplessly, "What are you talking about? They are already married, so why are you asking them to divorce? Can't they just resolve the conflict?"
"Can you please stop interfering in the children's affairs?"
Zhou Xiulian was not convinced and said loudly, "If you want my son to give in to her, it depends on whether she is worthy. I say, Lu Jianguo, can you please be reasonable? You can't even tell who is your child, so why are you still talking to outsiders!"
"What does this have to do with who is my child? Do you want to watch your son and his wife quarrel every day? Of course we have to find a way to solve the problem, right?"
Zhou Xiulian, however, protected Lu Yunshan behind her and said, "I don't care. My son married that bitch, he's already wronged enough. You still want him to give in to that bitch in the future? I'll be the first one to disagree!"
She glared at him, looking like she was protecting her child. "Why do you think your son suddenly came back home yesterday? It's because that bitch came looking for him again. I didn't say anything just now because I was giving my son face. I didn't want him to be bullied after returning home. But you came here and accused us of wrongdoings at Yunshan. I tell you, that's not allowed!"
Father Lu frowned, his attitude was obviously not as tough as before, "Wait, what do you mean by it happened again?"
Zhou Xiulian crossed her arms and sneered, "It's your good daughter-in-law who ran away without saying a word. She didn't go to work for a whole week and didn't even ask for leave. She almost dried up the vegetable seedlings on that acre of land."
"Old Lu, I think you should know better than me that these vegetables were all grown from treated seeds. Everyone should take good care of them. But she just abandoned the seedlings and didn't care about them for a week!"
"Do you know what people outside say about our family and Yunshan? They all say that our family has a capitalist style, we don't like to work, we only love to enjoy ourselves! Others are about to poke a hole in Yunshan's backbone, and you are still making trouble for my son!" Zhou Xiulian yelled out in one breath, feeling that the anger that she had been holding in her heart was finally released.
Father Lu did not expect that Shen Jiaojiao would cause trouble again. His brows were tightly furrowed, and there was a hint of guilt in his eyes.
"Yunshan, Dad didn't know this happened..."
Even more shocked than Father Lu was Lu Yunshan. He looked up at Zhou Xiulian in disbelief, "Mom, you..."
His tone was difficult, "How do you know?"
Zhou Xiulian glanced at him and said, "You are my son, you crawled out of my belly! As soon as you stick your butt out, I know what you are going to fart!"
