That's not all; before going back inside, he coldly uttered a sentence:
"Hurry up and cook something after you've cried enough. I'm exhausted after a long day, and I'm not in the mood to watch your performance!"
One sentence made Zhang Cuihua, who was already somewhat emotionally broken, cry even more hysterically.
Liu Yansong and Lu Rou, who were inside the house, also heard the elderly couple arguing, but they exchanged a glance and neither of them intended to leave.
Zhang Cuihua cried for a while, then heard a knock on the door.
"What's wrong with you? You keep wailing and howling, like you're mourning?! When will you stop? It's so annoying!"
Hearing her neighbor's complaints, she dared not cry out loud anymore and could only cover her mouth with her sleeve.
After crying for a while, seeing that no one paid any attention to him, she stopped herself and started cooking while wiping away her tears.
After a while, when she had almost finished cooking the dishes, Lu Rou finally came out.
Lu Rou was also quick-witted. As soon as she came out, she walked towards Zhang Cuihua and gave her a light hug from behind.
"Mom, don't be sad. Dad is probably just too tired. He didn't mean to be mean to you. After all, you've been married for so many years and you have a deep bond, right?"
Song-gege and I both know how much you've sacrificed for the family. We will definitely take good care of you in the future. Don't cry.
Zhang Cuihua had actually calmed herself down. Although she was still a little angry, upon hearing Lu Rou's comforting words, she shed a few more tears of grievance, and that anger disappeared.
"Yes, okay. I know that Xiaorou is a filial child. I've lost my job now, so I'll really have to rely on you all from now on."
Lu Rou was not happy to hear this, but she still nodded with a smile.
"Mom, let me help you. I'll help you serve the dishes."
"Okay, but be careful, there's water on the ground over there, don't slip."
Hearing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatting and laughing, the father and son came out of the house and quietly sat down at the table to eat.
Before lunch, Zhang Cuihua specially packed a bowl for Liu Qinqin, who was in the hospital, in a lunchbox. Considering that Liu Qinqin had no lunch, she packed a little extra.
Liu Yansong was immediately unhappy when he saw that the already meager amount of food had suddenly decreased so much.
“Mother, how much can a young girl eat? Why do you need to pack so much? You should leave more at home. There won’t be enough for me and Father, two grown men, and Rou’er, who is pregnant.”
Hearing Liu Yansong's accusations, Zhang Cuihua was stunned. She turned to look at Liu Dafu, but Liu Dafu seemed lost in thought, simply sitting there quietly, staring at the food on the table, without saying a word.
Zhang Cuihua had originally hoped that he would speak up for her, but when she saw his expression, she knew she had overthought things, so she turned to look at Lu Rou.
After meeting her gaze, the other person gave her a reassuring look and then spoke.
"It's okay, Brother Song. My sister is in the hospital, so she definitely needs nutrition. I haven't had much of an appetite lately, and the baby is still small, so it's okay if I eat a little less."
As Zhang Cuihua listened to Lu Rou's words, she felt increasingly uneasy, yet it seemed as if Lu Rou was genuinely speaking up for her.
However, in her opinion, this attempt to lend a hand was far from convincing.
So she took two deep breaths and rolled her eyes at the father and son on the table, clearly annoyed.
"Xiaoqin is alone in the hospital and didn't eat lunch! Not one of you even thought of her, but can't you even let her eat a little more at night?"
