Chapter 551: Daughter Reborn (6)
Mother Chen sucked her saliva and wanted to buy two to try, but she didn't want to see Cui Shichu, the relative whom she used to look down upon. Yes, she felt that her son was perfect in every way and it would not be too much for him to marry a beauty. Naturally, she looked down on Zhou Lizhi, the daughter of a widow, and looked down on Cui Shichu even more. So since her son married Zhou Lizhi, she had no contact with Cui Shichu. How could she have the nerve to go to Cui Shichu's store to buy buns at this time?
But the aroma wafting from the bun shop was so tempting. Although four of the six people in the Chen family were salaried workers, three were ordinary workers with low wages. Although Chen Wenya had a higher salary, he spent more on himself. Besides, there were four tall and strong men in the family, so they had to cook a big pot for every meal. So, although the Chen family had no shortage of food and clothing, it was impossible for them to eat well. They could only afford to eat meat two or three times a month, and the rest were cabbage and tofu.
Therefore, when Chen's mother smelled the meat buns, she couldn't walk anymore. She thought that even if she couldn't eat them, it would be good to stay here and smell the smell for a while.
"Hey, Old Chen, why are you standing here without moving?" A familiar neighbor lady saw that she had been standing there for a long time without moving, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
When Chen's mother saw that it was an acquaintance, she felt a little embarrassed and could only laugh dryly and said, "I'm waiting for someone."
"Who are you waiting for?" the neighbor asked again.
"Hey, a relative you don't know." Chen's mother lied.
"So that's how it is. Then I won't talk to you anymore. I'll go queue up to buy some buns. If you go too late, they will be sold out..." said the neighbor lady, and quickly tiptoed over to Cui Shichu's shop.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to Chen's mother and said, "Hey, Chen's, isn't Cui Shichu, the bun seller, your relative? If you want to wait for someone, why don't you go to her store and wait?"
"Haha, don't delay other people's business, I'll just wait here." Chen's mother replied awkwardly, but in her heart she was complaining that the neighbor was being too nosy. She could wait wherever she wanted, but she had to ask too many questions!
"We are all relatives, why bother delaying anything?" The neighbor lady had no idea that the relationship between Chen's mother and Cui Shichu was worse than that of strangers, so she enthusiastically took Chen's mother's arm and went to Cui Shichu's store.
Chen's mother struggled to refuse but failed. She also did not want to reveal the fact that she was not on good terms with her in-laws in front of outsiders, so she had to be dragged to Cui Shichu's store reluctantly.
"Mr. Cui! Look, your mother-in-law is here. For your mother-in-law's sake, I don't have to queue, right?" The neighbor lady pulled Chen's mother's arm and shouted at the busy Cui Shichu.
Cui Shichu took a quick glance in her busy schedule and saw Chen's mother standing outside with an embarrassed and uncomfortable look on her face. She avoided her gaze and didn't dare to meet her eyes at all.
"No, even the king has to queue up." Cui Shichu said expressionlessly.
The neighbor lady was immediately unhappy. She thought she could take advantage of Cui Shichu's relatives by bringing them here. However, Cui Shichu was so ruthless that she kept shouting, "This is your daughter's mother-in-law. Can't you make an exception? Your daughter is still living under her control. Aren't you afraid that she will be bullied by her in-laws?"
"Don't be afraid." Cui Shichu immediately choked the old lady with one sentence, and also provoked her, "Auntie, how can you say that my relative is a rude and unreasonable mother-in-law who always wants to torture her daughter-in-law?"
"No, I didn't mean that..." The neighbor lady hurriedly explained, but Chen's mother glared at her and broke away from her hand. However, Chen's mother didn't have a good impression of Cui Shichu. Who asked Cui Shichu to be so ruthless and really refused to make an exception for her? This made her feel very embarrassed.
Cui Shichu didn't have the time to care whether Chen's mother was embarrassed or not. She was too busy. What in-laws? What a joke. She didn't even recognize Zhou Lizhi as her daughter.
Chen's mother felt very embarrassed and left quickly, leaving the neighbor lady queuing behind her cursing.
However, after returning home, Chen's mother vented all the grievances she suffered here on Zhou Lizhi, and felt that it was only natural for Zhou Lizhi's mother to pay her debt. Only Zhou Lizhi was furious without knowing that she was implicated.
On the weekend, Zhou Zhiyuan came back from school. He is now a sophomore in high school, and his grades rank among the top 50 out of more than 300 sophomores in the school, which is pretty good. If he works hard, he can get into a university in Beijing.
"Mom, what delicious food did you make today? It smells so good?" Zhou Zhiyuan rushed into the kitchen and asked Cui Shichu excitedly. When he saw the ribs in the pot, he was even more surprised, "It's actually braised ribs!"
"And there's beef brisket with tomatoes," Cui Shichu said, "to nourish your body."
"Mom, you are so nice!" Zhou Zhiyuan hugged Cui Shichu and said with emotion.
Cui Shichu said disdainfully: "Hurry up and get the dishes and chopsticks out to prepare for dinner, don't get in the way in the kitchen."
Zhou Zhiyuan is only seventeen years old now. He is tall and thin, handsome and gentle. He is at the age of youth with high spirits. In addition, he has good academic performance, so it can be said that he has a bright future.
But this young man with unlimited possibilities in the future was completely ruined in a car accident in his previous life, and became a disabled person who needed care. His biological sister, the person he wanted to protect, despised him for being useless and despised him for needing her subsidy while he was still alive, and wished he would die soon.
The cold-blooded Zhou Lizhi didn't care at all. The reason why Zhou Zhiyuan got into a car accident was because he heard that she had a quarrel with her husband and wanted to support her, so he was hit by the car. Even if she was not the culprit, she was the fuse.
Fortunately, Zhou Zhiyuan will never have a car accident because of Zhou Lizhi again in this life, and Cui Shichu will not let this innocent boy's life be ruined because of a cold-blooded sister.
"Oh, it would be nice if my sister were here. She also likes to eat spare ribs." Zhou Zhiyuan suddenly sighed as he looked at the sumptuous dinner on the table.
Cui Shichu paused. Zhou Zhiyuan didn't know that he had fallen out with Zhou Lizhi. He had deep feelings for Zhou Lizhi. Although Zhou Lizhi liked to compete and be competitive, and even used to bully her younger brother, Zhou Zhiyuan was a kind and tolerant child, and had a thick filter for his sister Zhou Lizhi.
Cui Shichu was in a dilemma. Zhou Lizhi had no good feelings towards this younger brother at all. She wanted to stay away from him for fear that he would stick to her and force her to become a brother-supporting demon.
If Zhou Lizhi knew that her sister viewed him this way, she would definitely be very sad, but there was nothing she could do about it. Cui Shichu felt that a short pain was better than a long one, and it was time for him to see Zhou Lizhi's true face.
So she said to Zhou Zhiyuan, "Hurry up and eat. After dinner, I have something to tell you about your sister."
Seeing her serious expression, Zhou Zhiyuan nodded involuntarily, feeling that something had happened that he didn't want to see.
