When Cheng Zheng saw Wei Shuying, his smile froze and he immediately came back to reality from the previous atmosphere. He politely greeted Qian Feng.
Qian Feng ran in and shouted to Cheng Yaoyao, "Hey, is this Yaoyao? You are getting more and more beautiful! Didn't you go to the countryside to settle down? Why are you back? Come on, Taotao, say hello to your sister Yaoyao!"
Wei Tao rubbed the soles of his shoes on the floor at the door, walked in, and said with a smile: "Cousin, are you back from the countryside?"
Qian Feng thought she was pleasing both sides, but she didn't know that Wei Shuying was glaring at her hatefully from behind.
Cheng Yaoyao didn't even raise her eyelids, blowing slowly on her coffee. Cheng Zheng said, "Your sister Yaoyao has been sitting on the train for several hours, she must be tired."
Then he asked Wei Shuying, "Where have you been?"
How could Wei Shuying dare to tell Cheng Zheng that she had just had a fight with the rag-and-bone mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? She stammered and couldn't say anything.
Fortunately, Cheng Zheng ignored him and said, "Cook when you get back. Yaoyao is hungry, so you can also entertain your sister-in-law and nephew."
Wei Shuying's cheek twitched. After living in this family for 19 years, she still felt a prick of pain and disgust when she saw Cheng Yaoyao. Cheng Yaoyao was the only reason why she married into this family, and he was also a thorn in her eye all the time, reminding her all the time why she was able to marry Cheng Zheng.
As Cheng Yaoyao grew up, she became more and more beautiful, while Wei Shuying's own daughter became uglier and uglier, and her mentality became more and more distorted. Moreover...Since Wei Shuying came back, Cheng Yaoyao never greeted her, and Cheng Zheng's eyes never left his daughter.
Wei Shuying was furious and said to Cheng Yaoyao with a fake smile: "When did you come back? Why didn't you say hello?"
Cheng Zheng said: "Why are you saying hello to Yaoyao when he comes back home? Go and cook dinner. Yaoyao must be tired after sitting on the train for such a long time."
There was some dissatisfaction in Cheng Zheng's words. Wei Shuying had a lot of problems but she dared not say anything, so she had to go to the kitchen to cook.
Cheng Zheng coaxed Cheng Yaoyao in a gentle voice: "Yaoyao, your aunt is here to greet you, call her."
Cheng Yaoyao raised his eyes lazily and looked at the country woman wearing an ill-fitting coat. The coat was obviously Wei Shuying's. This stepmother was stingy with her own daughter, but she was so generous to her natal family. Facing Qian Feng's face that could not hide her calculating greed, Cheng Yaoyao repeated sarcastically: "Aunt?"
Qian Feng didn't hear the hidden meaning at all, and responded happily: "Hey! What are the father and daughter drinking? It smells quite good. Taotao, didn't you just say you were thirsty? Come and drink."
Cheng Yaoyao couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Watching Cheng Zheng pouring coffee from a cup, Cheng Yaoyao said, "Dad, use that cup."
Cheng Zheng understood, put down the white porcelain coffee cup, went to get two glass cups, and poured two cups of coffee. Qian Feng quickly called his sons, each of whom took a cup and drank it impatiently. Qian Feng immediately shouted: "What is this? It's too bitter!"
Wei Tao's face wrinkled into a ball, and he complained to his mother: "This is called coffee, it's two yuan a cup in the restaurant. Mom, if you don't understand, stop yelling!"
"It's so expensive?" Qian Feng was shocked. He looked at the dark brown liquid in the cup that looked like Chinese medicine. He drank it all up without hesitation and wiped his mouth: "Damn it, this tastes worse than Chinese medicine!"
Wei Tao sipped his coffee, tasting it like he was tasting wine, and said to Cheng Yaoyao, "Cousin, is this coffee from the Friendship Store? It smells like imported coffee!"
Cheng Yaoyao raised the corner of his lips and looked at them making a fool of themselves with a half-smile.
No matter how dumb Qian Feng was, she could see Cheng Yaoyao's disdain. In the past, Cheng Yaoyao would scold and chase her away whenever she saw her coming to her house, but now she doesn't chase her away anymore. However, her expression made Qian Feng know clearly that she looked down on him.
Qian Feng held back her anger and tried to find a chance to talk to Cheng Zheng about Wei Tao's work. But Cheng Zheng was so focused on his daughter that he was busy peeling candies for Cheng Yaoyao and filling a hot water bottle to warm her hands. He didn't find a chance to talk.
Wei Shuying in the kitchen was so angry that she was about to explode.
Cheng Zheng's unit often distributed some rare dried seafood, and Wei Shuying always gave half to her parents and sold the rest on the black market for money. All the dried seafood she hid was gone!
The kitchen was spotless, the marble countertops were dust-free, and pots, chopping boards, and knives were placed on the stove. When she opened the cupboard, she found only bowls and chopsticks. There were five blue-and-white porcelain spice jars, oil jugs, and wine jugs in a row, and not a single empty jar was left for her.
Even house searches are not this cruel!
Wei Shuying was busy in the kitchen for a long time, cooking four or five dishes. Qian Feng sat heavily on the sofa, showing no intention of helping.
It was Wei Shuying who greeted again: "The meal is ready."
Qian Feng and Wei Tao stood up and said, "Come on, it's time to eat!"
Cheng Yaoyao then slowly stood up, stepped into a pair of snow-white soft cotton slippers, and followed Cheng Zheng to the dining table.
On the table were a plate of hot and sour potato shreds, a plate of stir-fried cauliflower, a plate of shredded cabbage, and a large bowl of tomato and egg drop soup. Wei Shuying was actually quite good at cooking, and she cooked several dishes to perfection. Otherwise, Wei Shuying would not have been introduced by the matchmaker.
Cheng Yaoyao covered her nose as soon as she smelled it. Cheng Zheng, who was only concerned about his daughter, immediately asked with concern, "What's wrong with Yaoyao?"
"It's too spicy. My throat hurts." Cheng Yaoyao said, covering his lips and coughing twice.
Cheng Yaoyao's acting was quite perfunctory, but Cheng Zheng immediately said, "Yaoyao can't eat spicy food, why do you put chili in every dish?"
Wei Shuying forced a smile and said, "We used to do it this way..."
Cheng Zheng said, "Come and cook something light. Why don't you cook the meat dishes I bought? They're all vegetarian!"
When Qian Feng heard this, she felt upset. This sister-in-law was so stingy that she deliberately hid the meat and vegetables from her and her son. She said, "Oh, how good is it to eat in a place like the countryside? I don't know how long it has been since I last had meat. It's pitiful that she has become so thin."
For the first time, Cheng Zheng deeply agreed with Qian Feng's words: "Yaoyao still had some flesh on his face last year. Now his chin is pointed."
Wei Shuying's face turned pale. She didn't want to cook those meat dishes for this damn girl, so she thought about letting Qian Feng take them away secretly when she came back. Qian Feng not only didn't understand her painstaking efforts, but also ruined her plan!
Qian Feng smiled and moved the dishes to her side: "Yaoyao can't eat spicy food, wait and eat fresh food."
Cheng Yaoyao added coquettishly: "I feel uncomfortable even when I smell this smell."
Cheng Zheng said, "Take all these dishes away and don't eat them."
Qian Feng, with his chopsticks hanging in the air, watched Wei Shuying take away all the dishes, leaving only a bowl of tomato and egg drop soup, and immediately felt unhappy.
Cheng Yaoyao looked at Wei Shuying's resentful back and laughed secretly. The original owner didn't eat spicy food, but Wei Shuying put chili and oil in every dish. The original owner got furious when she saw it, and ran out of anger and refused to eat at home. This gave Cheng Nuonuo an opportunity to curry favor with Cheng's father and sow discord.
Cheng Yaoyao had fought with his stepmother and stepsister for a long time in his previous life, but this little trick was not enough for her.
While waiting for the food, Qian Feng took the opportunity to talk to Cheng Zheng about Wei Tao's work.
Wei Tao has high expectations but lacks the skills to achieve them. Cheng Zheng has arranged jobs for him in two factories, but he couldn't do the job well after working for several days, either because he was too tired or because he couldn't get along with his colleagues. He was still waiting for Cheng Zheng to find him a good and leisurely job.
When Cheng Zheng frowned, Qian Feng smiled and said, "Our Taotao has always been in poor health and cannot do heavy work. He admires you the most as his capable uncle and has always said that he wants to be like you!"
Cheng Zheng said, "Nowadays, every company has its own job, and Wei Tao doesn't have a good education, so it's not easy for him to get in."
Wei Tao's face suddenly turned ugly. Qian Feng also said in a gloomy tone: "Okay, okay. It's all our fault. We believed his aunt's words and waited for him. We missed the factory's recruitment. I will go back and tell my parents that our Tao Tao is not destined to be a farmer. He will just be a farmer in the field."
Cheng Yaoyao poked at the rice slowly, raised her red lips and said, "Counting back three generations, who in your family is not a farmer? Just know your position."
Qian Feng and her son's faces suddenly turned extremely dark.
Cheng Zheng had long been annoyed by Qian Feng and her son's greed. Hearing Cheng Yaoyao's words to stop them, he felt relieved. Cheng Zheng poured half a bowl of tomato and egg drop soup and placed it in front of Cheng Yaoyao: "Yaoyao, drink some soup first to fill your stomach."
Wei Shuying deliberately lingered in the kitchen for a long time before she brought out two dishes, a fish in salted fermented rice and a stir-fried cauliflower. She still did not touch the fresh meat dishes.
But Cheng Yaoyao had already started eating. She soaked half a bowl of hot rice in tomato and egg drop soup and ate it sporadically. She had a stomach full of snacks and was not hungry at all.
Cheng Zheng felt even more distressed when he saw his daughter like this. He looked at the newly served dishes and found none of them were edible. He couldn't help but ask, "I told you that Yaoyao has a sore throat, why did you cook such a dish?"
Seeing that there was nothing to eat, Cheng Zheng said, "Yaoyao, Dad will get you some fermented bean curd."
Cheng Yaoyao shook his head: "No, I'm almost full."
"Have two more bites." Cheng Zheng picked up a cauliflower and put it in Cheng Yaoyao's bowl, coaxing him like a child: "You look exhausted. After eating, take a hot bath and have a good rest."
Wei Shuying also became furious and said sarcastically, "She's tired? I think she's quite energetic. She cleaned up the house like this right after she came back."
Cheng Yaoyao smiled brightly, filling the room with radiance: "I spent a long time cleaning it up. I also changed the curtains. The previous ones were too ugly and too dirty."
Cheng Zheng couldn't help but smile: "Yaoyao has good taste, just like your mother."
This sentence completely set off Wei Shuying. Cheng Zheng meant that she was not as good as the one in front? What she hated most was that others said that she was not as good as Cheng Yaoyao's biological mother, not to mention that these words came from Cheng Zheng's mouth. Wei Shuying immediately raised her voice: "Where is the curtain now!"
Cheng Yaoyao shrugged casually: "Sold it."
Cheng Zheng said, "Yaoyao doesn't know that the curtain is yours. Just sell it. This velvet curtain is left by Yaoyao's mother. It matches the living room very well."
There is a dark green velvet curtain in the living room. When "Gone with the Wind" was a global hit, Cheng Yaoyao's biological mother loved watching this movie and spent a lot of money to make a curtain exactly like the one in the movie. The dark green curtain hangs by the window. When the breeze blows, it shimmers like water waves, which is in perfect contrast with the elegant living room.
To Wei Shuying, these words clearly showed that she and Cheng Zheng were no longer compatible. She was so angry that she could not control her voice, and her voice was so sharp that everyone was instantly silent: "You said you would sell my things?!"
Qian Feng was also full of resentment towards Cheng Yaoyao, and she remembered that her son's coat was sold by this girl. She fanned the flames and said, "Yaoyao, if you are short of money, just tell me and your father, and don't just steal things from home and sell them!"
Cheng Yaoyao raised her eyebrows, and with a "pa" sound, Cheng Zheng put the cup heavily on the tea table, his face extremely ugly: "This is Yaoyao's home! Everything is hers. Even if she empties this house, no one dares to say a word! What do you mean by stealing?!"
Wei Shuying was frightened. Qian Feng also fell silent.
In the past, regardless of the relationship between Cheng Zheng and Wei Shuying, he was always polite to the Wei family. Whenever the Wei family came to him for help, Cheng Zheng would help them whenever he could, without getting angry. It was precisely because of this that the Wei family became arrogant and treated Cheng Zheng like a soft dough.
This was the first time Cheng Zheng got angry at them. Qian Feng was embarrassed, but thinking that her son's future still depended on Cheng Zheng, her face suddenly turned red and blue, and she smiled apologetically: "Why is his uncle so angry? I... I am not doing this for the good of my niece."
Cheng Zheng's chest rose and fell, and his handsome face flushed. He gradually calmed down, and before he could say anything, his sleeve was pulled.
Cheng Zheng looked back and saw Cheng Yaoyao with red eyes. He looked at him seriously and said, "Dad, I didn't steal anything."
Cheng Zheng felt as if his heart was being cut by a knife. He said softly, "Dad knows, Dad knows."
Cheng Zheng turned around and said coldly to Qian Feng: "Your words are a serious insult to Yaoyao's personality! Don't think I don't know what your family's attitude is towards Yaoyao. As long as I am here, no one can bully my daughter! Please leave my house immediately!"
Wei Tao was so embarrassed that he said angrily: "This is also the home of my aunt and cousin Nuonuo!"
Qian Feng said, "That's right! Why are you chasing us away? Shujuan, why don't you say something? You are just watching your family being bullied like this!"
When Wei Shujuan heard the word "my family", she got angry and cried to Cheng Zheng, "How could you treat my family like this? I have worked hard to serve you for more than ten years. Are Nuonuo and I no longer this man's people?"
Cheng Zheng was shocked by the shamelessness of Qian Feng and her son, and even more angry at Wei Shujuan's confusion. He pointed to the door with a sullen face and said, "I'm saying this for the last time, get out!"
Wei Shujuan said: "This is my mother's home..."
Cheng Zheng said coldly: "Say one more word and you will go with them."
Wei Shujuan shut up immediately. She was unwilling to leave this home.
Qian Feng and Wei Tao walked to the door angrily to put on their shoes, cursing under their breath. They came to Cheng's house this time and got nothing, and even suffered from Cheng Yaoyao, the damn girl, secretly. They were so angry.
It was also Wei Shujuan's fault. She had squeezed Cheng Yaoyao out of her way in the past, and now she was defeated again this time!
Qian Feng was very angry and deliberately said loudly to Wei Tao: "It's our own fault! I'll tell my parents when I get home that they don't recognize us as my relatives anymore!"
Just as the mother and son were about to leave, they heard Cheng Zheng say, "Wait a minute."
Qian Feng was delighted. As expected, when she brought up her mother-in-law, Cheng Zheng softened.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Zheng said, "Please go back and tell the two old people that I am always very busy with my work. You don't have to go out unless you have something to do in the future."
"..." Qian Feng's face was filled with shock, and Wei Shujuan's eyes went dark, and she almost fell to the ground.
Does Cheng Zheng mean to break off ties with her family?
