Zhao Changlong and Gu Chuanming always talked to each other, but to outsiders, it seemed like they were very affectionate.
Aunt Li had prepared all the main dishes and was just waiting for Zhang Shouyi to come back and cook them.
This man really couldn't help but grumble. At 6:40, Zhang Shouyi went home.
Seeing the family members, he smiled.
Kong Mingde and the other two stood up and saluted Zhang Shouyi. Now he was the military chairman, no longer just the political chairman.
Zhang Shouyi returned the greeting, "Hehe. Please sit down, uncles, don't be shy."
Song Zigan also stood up, shook hands with Zhang Shouyi, and greeted him.
"Why does the atmosphere feel less cheerful now that I'm back? Don't be shy, just treat it like you're home. You guys chat, I'm going to wash up."
Aunt Li and the others all knew Zhang Shouyi's habits, so they knew he would be able to cook in ten minutes after he returned.
At the dinner table, Zhao Changlong still complained that there wasn't enough wine, but Gu Chuanming really only drank two ounces a day.
"Chengzi, go get some wine. Let this roughneck drink his fill today!"
"Chengzi, get the best wine. The old chief in the family doesn't drink much, and neither do the leaders and their sons. What's the point of saving it?"
"Yes, I'll go right away."
"Boss, you're not going to drink a drop?"
"Yes, my wife is very strict. I've given up alcohol from now on."
Everyone at the table froze, even Liu Jingsong forgot to pick up some food. He didn't know anything else, but he knew that his uncle's wife was his aunt.
Why have I never seen my aunt treat my uncle the way Grandma Li treated Grandpa Li?
"Haha, boss, you're joking. We're like family to my daughter. You can't tarnish her image like that."
My daughter seems so gentle and virtuous, how could she possibly control you?
Zhang Shouyi simply smiled and remained silent. Everyone present knew Zhang Shouyi's true nature; he was a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Zhang Hongmei felt a little awkward. This guy, with so many people around, why does he say everything? But the truth is, she really did restrict his drinking because she wanted to have a child.
Song Zigan was the most awkward person at the dinner table; everyone there was an important figure, so he felt a little uncomfortable.
Zhang Hongmei noticed this, so she took special care of him.
Zhang Shouyi was now jealous. How could his wife take care of another man like that?
"Honey, I want to eat fish!"
Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes at Zhang Shouyi. This guy was really too stingy. But there was no way around it. With so many outsiders around, she absolutely had to give him face, so she carefully helped him remove the fish bones.
Zhao Changlong couldn't stand it anymore. Was this how his daughter was being bullied in front of her own family?
"Boss, is this really okay? We're all family here! How can you bully my girl like this in front of us?"
"Hehe, Uncle Zhao, how could you think like that? Of course I know you're all from my wife's family. This is just a little fun between my husband and me."
“Boss, let me tell you, I, Lao Zhao, am a rough man and I stick to my principles. I just know that my daughter can’t be bullied, no matter who it is. No matter how powerful you are outside, no matter how important you are, at home you are our son-in-law. If you really wrong my daughter, we old folks can beat you up.”
"Yes, please have the three uncles supervise me, and that situation will definitely not happen. I will treat Hongmei better than I treat myself."
"Heh, that guarantee won't work. Everyone knows the boss is ruthless; you're not treating yourself well at all. All you care about is your job. I don't accept that guarantee."
Kong Mingde and He Chuanyong were both stunned. This guy had guts today, actually daring to challenge the leader like this.
"Hehe, Uncle Zhao, let me put it this way. From now on, I will cherish Hongmei dearly. No one and nothing is more important than her!"
"Alright, everyone here heard that, especially Old Zhang. This is what your son said. You'd better be fair. I'm not saying you have to side with my daughter, but if your son makes a mistake, you have to speak up for him!"
"Old Zhao, don't worry, Hongmei is first and foremost my daughter, and then my daughter-in-law."
"You said it! If your son does anything to betray my daughter in the future, especially if we find out that he has betrayed her and secretly found another woman, don't blame me for being impolite. The people I, Zhao Changlong, despise the most are those who abandon their wives and children."
Of course, if the boss really doesn't like my daughter anymore, we can put it clearly on the table. We're not desperate to have her; we'll take our daughter back with us and will absolutely not pester the boss.
"Boss? Do you understand what I'm saying?"
"Hehe, Uncle Zhao, I understand. You should be worried about me. I'm the one who's afraid Hongmei won't want me anymore. How could the situation you described happen?"
All these years. Have you heard any rumors about my relationships with women? In my entire life, there will never be another woman besides Zhang Hongmei.”
Zhang Hongmei was genuinely moved, regardless of Zhao Changlong's purpose in saying those words, which was simply to make her feel comfortable listening to them.
"Alright, our family has already made their stance clear, and the leader has given his assurance, so let's continue drinking!" He Chuanyong came out to give the final summary. In any case, Zhang Hongmei felt that the two of them had planned ahead to support her.
"Boss, I'm your subordinate, and I know your situation best. If anything is detrimental to my Hongmei, I'll inform you immediately." Kong Mingde put away his smile and spoke very solemnly to Zhang Shouyi.
"Hehe, you're all so worried. Such a thing will never happen in this lifetime."
Song Zigan listened from the side and thought that Hongmei was very lucky to have so many people supporting her.
Now Zhao Changlong was even more uninhibited, and no amount of persuasion from He Chuanyong could change his mind.
"How could I be out of line? This is my young lady's house. There's no way I could be impolite here."
"Yes, you're right, drink as much as you want."
"Hehe, Old Zhang is still the most straightforward, much better than the leader. I used to stop arguing with him when he drank, but now he doesn't drink anymore, and he doesn't even offer me any good wine."
"Zhao Changlong, shut up. If you keep babbling on, there won't be any more wine to drink."
"Hehe, I'm not afraid of you." After saying that, he took another big gulp of his drink.
"Old comrade, you look healthier than I am!"
"That's right. I practice Tai Chi every morning, I don't smoke, I drink little alcohol, and my daily life is light and I have a regular schedule."
What fun would there be in living like that?
"What more fun do you want? Only by living long can you see more!"
"That's the old monster."
"Are you asking for a beating?"
"Hehe, I'm a roughneck, I just tell the truth."
Everyone at the table was stunned. You're supposed to be a complete idiot? You're the most cunning one around.
But no one stood up for him. Let him say whatever he wants!
