Zhou Hongxia didn't know how to persuade Fu Xiaoxue to put away her spoiled temper and go downstairs.
They sat there with cold faces, both mother and daughter had cold faces, as if others owed them something, and no one knew what big trick they were holding back.
Although Fu Yanxun doesn't talk much, when he's not talking he looks stern, cold and majestic, giving people the feeling that he's difficult to get along with.
It was the first time his daughter-in-law came to visit, and he was worried that he would scare her, so he tried his best to appear gentle, and smiled as he spoke.
Try to act like a kind and gentle elder.
This shows how much he values his daughter-in-law Li Jiyue.
Yang Shuhua found an excuse to get them out of the way. "Hongxia, Xiaoxue, if you have nothing to do, go to the kitchen and help Mrs. Wang and Xiaocheng."
It would be better for them not to come out if they were like this.
What will Xiaoyue think?
The new bride was treated coldly the first time she came to the house. She must have regretted getting the marriage certificate with her son and regretted marrying into the Fu family.
Anyone who dares to destroy her son's marriage will be punished by her.
Yang Shuhua used to be the head of the communications department of the army. Although he looked amiable, he had accumulated aura from being in a high position for many years, and with just a glance he could intimidate Zhou Hongxia and Fu Xiaoxue, mother and daughter.
On weekdays, Mrs. Wang prepares meals by herself, but today there are too many people and she can’t handle it alone, so Cheng Yang has gone into the kitchen to help.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hongxia complained reluctantly, "Mom, Xiaoxue is the daughter of the Fu family. She's a novice and has never been in the kitchen since she was a child. How can she know how to cook? Only rural girls are good at cooking."
Every word he said highlighted his daughter's nobility and belittled Li Jiyue for being a rural person.
Nothing compared to her daughter.
Li Jiyue said, "A 20-year-old girl is an adult, and she still can't cook. This isn't something to brag about these days. But if it gets out, people will definitely think Fu Xiaoxue is acting like a capitalist. She takes the blame for her own mistakes, and that's fine, but it would be bad if she implicated the Fu family."
She was a new daughter-in-law, and he asked her to cook the first time she came to his house. He was dreaming and wanted to give her a warning without considering his own abilities.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Who says that not being able to cook means being a capitalist? A mother who loves her daughter will not let her enter the kitchen. You have to cook for yourself because you don't have a mother who loves you. You are jealous of my daughter." Zhou Hongxia is very protective of her daughter. When someone says something about her daughter, she touches her sore spot, and her voice unconsciously rises.
Fu Xiaoxue felt the same way. "Yes, Li Jiyue, you are just jealous of me. I am more noble than you and live a better life than you. I can't cook, so I will never have to. When I get married, you will have to take care of all the housework and be a shrew at home taking care of the children."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Fu Guangbo quickly stepped forward to act as a peacemaker and nudged Zhou Hongxia, "Hongxia, your parents are here. Who are you yelling at? Be careful."
Fu Chengyu, "I've made an agreement with Xiaoyue that after we get married, I'll be responsible for cooking and taking care of all the housework. I won't restrict Xiaoyue from doing anything she wants. Even if she gets married, she's still free to do whatever she wants. No one is superior to anyone else. Without the Fu family, you're nothing."
The head of the family, Fu Yanxun, spoke up. "Xiaoxue, you're an adult, and you still can't cook. That's unacceptable. You can choose not to do some things, but you must learn how to cook. If one day you're alone and can't cook, you'll starve to death. Starting tomorrow, you must learn how to cook and help Mrs. Wang."
Fu Xiaoxue felt it was unfair and was about to explode. She stood up and pointed at Li Jiyue, "Then why doesn't she have to do it, and only ask me and my mom to go?"
Li Jiyue raised her eyes, with a hint of provocation in them, "Because I'm a guest."
Zhou Hongxia comforted Fu Xiaoxue and asked her to sit down. "Xiaoxue, sit down and sit well. You don't have to go. Mom will go."
"I understand." Fu Xiaoxue responded reluctantly.
After comforting her daughter, she went into the kitchen, not to work, but to direct others to work and pretend to do it for the two elders to see.
Yang Shuhua continued to discuss the wedding.
"Even if we don't plan on having a big wedding, there are still some necessary things to do. It will take at least a month to prepare. I'll check the calendar for auspicious dates in the next month and choose an auspicious day to marry Xiaoyue as soon as possible."
"Mom, one month, at most one month. I don't want to wait too long."
Yang Shuhua teased her son again, saying, "You're getting anxious now. No matter how much I urged you to find a wife, you always said there was no rush. I thought I wouldn't be able to wait for you to get married and have children. It turns out that meeting the right person makes all the difference. The couple has a good relationship, lives a good life, and supports each other. That's when I feel relieved."
Looking at the two young people holding hands tightly, with tears in her eyes, she turned slightly, raised her hand to wipe away the tears, blinked, and soon regained her composure.
Fu Yanxun patted his arm gently, giving him silent comfort.
Fu Chengyu was their late-born son. Both of them had successful careers, but their only regret was that their son had become a disabled person, had not yet married, and had no children.
They were worried that if they passed away, their son would be left alone in the world, with no one to rely on and no one to accompany him.
When their son became disabled, the two old people were so worried that they couldn't sleep and most of their hair turned white.
While they were discussing the marriage, another guest came to the Fu family, Liu Xiaoyan, a nurse from the hospital.
Holding hands full of gifts.
"Grandpa Fu, Grandma Fu, Dean, hello. My name is Liu Xiaoyan. I'm a nurse at the First Hospital and also...Xiaoxue's friend."
Zhou Hongxia, who was in the kitchen, heard the noise outside and came out, "Hey, Xiaoyan is here?"
Although Liu Xiaoyan's family is just an ordinary dual-income family, her sister married a good official, and her brothers also got a government position.
Although their family background is ordinary and far behind the top military and political family, the Fu family, they are still much better than the Lin family.
In order to get close to Fu Chunsheng and please Zhou Hongxia, Liu Xiaoyan would give her gifts during festivals.
Zhou Hongxia felt that she barely met her criteria for selecting a daughter-in-law, at least better than Lin Yuzhu, so she specially asked her to bring some good gifts today to surpass Li Jiyue.
To bring honor to their first wife, Li Jiyue immediately guessed what she was thinking, and curled the corners of her lips slightly. Fu Chunsheng will bring Lin Yuzhu back later, and the love triangle will be a Shura scene. Now there will be something interesting to watch.
