Looking at the two geniuses in the kitchen, Zheng Mulan felt a surge of anger.
Zheng Mulan: "Yu Qianhe, the third visit to your parents' home is supposed to be a gift for your father-in-law and mother-in-law, but instead you brought back a chicken from your father-in-law's house?"
Seeing Zheng Mulan like this, Liu Yun quickly explained, "Mom, this is what I brought back, it has nothing to do with Qianhe."
After all, she's not stupid. It would be foolish not to take advantage of the Liu family's good fortune.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Mulan choked. She only knew that there were daughters-in-law who would turn their backs on their husbands and empty their husbands' homes to support their own families, such as her second and third daughters-in-law.
This is the first time I've ever seen someone empty their own family's coffers to support their husband's family.
Judging from Liu Yun's expression, it was clear that the chicken was not going to be returned, so they had no choice but to accept their fate and kill it.
Now Zheng Mulan only hopes that the couple will not cause any more trouble in the future; she has a sense of shame.
You should know that back when she was in the military compound, she was completely humiliated by Yu Qian.
Now that she's finally moved to a different place and regained her dignity, she doesn't want to lose it again.
Fortunately, the two moved to the courtyard assigned to them by Yu Qianhe and behaved themselves without causing any trouble.
On the weekend, right after I finished breakfast, Yu Qian and Liu Yun came to my door.
Zheng Mulan immediately noticed the sack in Yu Qianhe's hand. "Why did you suddenly come back today? What's this?"
Yu Qian waved the burlap sack in his hand, and as he did so, the contents of the sack seemed to come alive. "Come and freeload! Oh, and Dad, can you teach me how to kill a chicken and how to cook?"
Both Yu Jiefang and Zheng Mulan were taken aback upon hearing this.
Zheng Mulan: "You can't kill a chicken? You can't cook? Then what have you been doing in the kitchen all these years? Just freeloading?"
Upon hearing this, Yu Qian immediately became unhappy. He had never been a freeloader. “I never freeloaded. I washed the vegetables, wiped the stove, and washed the dishes every time.”
Hearing this, Zheng Mulan was speechless, while Yu Jiefang laughed and said, "You've been slacking off by following me and your brother around all these years, and no one noticed? You've got some skills, haven't you? Come to the kitchen, I'll teach you. How can the men of the Yu family not know how to cook!"
Seeing this, Liu Yun also planned to go in and help. She didn't know how to do this either, so she could learn.
Zheng Mulan thought she was going in to help, and when she saw this, she quickly called out to her, "Fourth brother's wife, don't go to help him. I only found out today that he has been slacking off for so many years. Now he can't hide it anymore!"
He even washes dishes, vegetables, and wipes the stove! Every time your dad finishes cooking, he just wipes the stove down, and he washes vegetables and dishes too! He's washed vegetables and dishes countless times, and every time it was his brother or his siblings who did it. Day after day, even eight hundred schemes wouldn't be enough to keep up with his efforts.
Liu Yun dared not respond to this, and simply smiled without saying a word.
It's fine for a mother to complain about her own son, but she, as the daughter-in-law, can't join in. She can say whatever she wants in private, but she can't say it in front of her mother-in-law.
Dinner was prepared by Yu Qianhe and Yu Jiefang; to be precise, Yu Jiefang directed the cooking while Yu Qianhe did it. After dinner, Yu Qianhe was sent by Zheng Mulan to wash the dishes.
He was only allowed to go back after he finished washing the dishes, and of course, his hands were still full when he went back.
As the year drew to a close, Zheng Mulan became busy preparing for the New Year. Her two daughters-in-law were not very helpful in these matters, and her younger daughter-in-law didn't seem to be very capable either, but Zheng Mulan didn't intend to ask them for help.
This year we must hold more celebrations, after all, it's the first year since the new bride entered the family, we can't be careless. So, Yu Jiefang was completely bossed around by his wife.
On the 28th of the lunar year, Zheng Mulan urged Yu Qianhe to deliver New Year's greetings to his father-in-law. Yu Qianwen and Yu Qianyou went to deliver them on the 26th, but Yu Qianhe had not yet gone.
Yu Qianhe wasn't in a hurry, and Liu Yun didn't take it seriously either. Seeing Liu Yun's attitude, Zheng Mulan was glad that this was her daughter-in-law, not her daughter, otherwise she would have been furious at Liu Yun's siding with outsiders.
This is a one-way flow of goods to her family, and it's true that you can't have two kinds of people sleeping in the same bed. She'll have to handle this matter from now on. This is the first time she's seen someone so unenthusiastic about sending things to her family.
Didn't Liu Yun see that her two sisters-in-law had started preparing a long time ago?
When Qianhe went to deliver holiday gifts to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Zheng Mulan repeatedly warned him not to take anything from his mother-in-law's house again.
The next morning, before I even cooked breakfast, I saw Yu Qian riding over on a bicycle with two full, messy sacks tied to it.
When Zheng Mulan came out of the kitchen and saw the two large sacks in the living room and the things her son was holding, she felt like her head was on fire.
Zheng Mulan: "Yu Qianhe, you went to your father-in-law's house to take things again? And so much of it?"
Yu Qian quickly explained, "No, no, these are all New Year's goods that my wife bought. I brought them over to you. Don't worry, yesterday I didn't take anything except the cookies my mother-in-law gave my wife."
Zheng Mulan: "You took the cookies?"
Yu Qianhe: "That was given to my wife by my mother-in-law, why would I refuse it?"
His wife said that he had to accept whatever the Liu family gave him and couldn't refuse it; he even had to bring back a single grain of rice.
Hearing this, Zheng Mulan felt a little sorry for her in-laws, who had encountered such a brilliant and talented couple.
Seeing the things in Yu Qianhe's hands and on the ground, Zheng Mulan's headache returned. "Did your wife buy all of this?"
Yu Qianhe: "Hmm."
Zheng Mulan: "Take the fish to the kitchen to process it first."
After saying that, he untied the sack and looked inside. There were two chickens, two ducks, two rabbits, and Yu Qianhe had two fish in his hand.
Zheng Mulan took a breath. "Old Yu, what should we do?"
Yu Jiefang naturally overheard Yu Qianhe's conversation with Zheng Mulan.
Yu Jiefang: "Let's convert it into cash and give it to them!"
Zheng Mulan thought about it and agreed. "I've been the one who buys the New Year's goods every year. My second and third sons' wives have never bought anything, so there's no reason for my fourth son's wife to buy them."
"When we give them red envelopes during the New Year, we'll give them extra money. We'll give them directly; they definitely won't accept it. That way, that shrewd fourth brother won't tell anyone."
Having made her decision, Zheng Mulan didn't hesitate. She took the things into the kitchen and let Yu Qian handle them, while she continued making breakfast.
Yu Jiefang also rushed to help his son. Yu Qianhe had only just learned how to handle these things, so he was quite slow at it. If he were to handle them alone, it would take him who knows how long.
They hadn't finished in the morning, so they continued working on it after get off work in the afternoon. The father and son worked together and finally got it done.
It was too late last night, so Yu Qian stayed at the old house. Liu Yun didn't come over until almost lunchtime the next day.
