Chen Xingling also smiled sweetly, but there was no trace of smile in his eyes.
"Mom, sweetie, welcome, welcome."
Ying said "hmm" coldly and walked into the house with a sullen face.
Qin Tiantian took a quick glance at the back and saw that the suite was spacious and bright, fully furnished, and stylishly decorated. She also saw Chen Xingling standing at the door with the demeanor of a hostess, and her heart ached again.
Gu Yi threw his luggage aside, then quickly rushed forward and hid Zhao Xiaoxing behind his back, nervously watching the young lady who peeked in and out as soon as she entered the room.
Behind him, Chen Xingling hurriedly closed the door.
Little Tiger put down his cup of water and shouted crisply, "Grandma! Auntie Tiantian!"
Ying noticed him and smiled, which was a rare occurrence for her.
"Wow! My eldest grandson looks like he has grown taller! Be good! Grandma will give you candy later!"
Qin Tiantian looked at the beautiful dining table in the living room with shining eyes and smiled perfunctorily.
"Tiger, be good~ Really good."
At this moment, Ying finally discovered something unusual behind Gu Yi, and instantly exploded with anger again.
"What's going on!? Did you really bring someone here?! Huh?!!"
The voice was so loud and powerful that everyone present felt their ears buzzing instantly!
Next, Ying sat down on the ground, cursing, complaining, and crying loudly.
Chen Xingling calmly went into the kitchen and stirred the porridge. Then she cut the fresh meat rolls her mother gave her into small pieces and fried them in a pan. She also separated the meat from the fish and rice and placed them on a plate, then drizzled a little soy sauce on them.
Little Tiger followed her, occasionally peeking out to take a peek.
Ying cursed until her throat was sore and cried until her eyes were sore. Finally, with the support of Qin Tiantian, she leaned on the sofa, her voice becoming softer and her crying gradually subsided.
Chen Xingling poured two glasses of water and brought them out slowly.
"Mom, Tiantian, drink some water."
Ying was so thirsty that she didn't care to cry or curse. She took the cup and took a few big gulps.
Then, she glared at Chen Xingling and said, "Why did you keep that mountain girl here?! Ah Yi is crazy, are you crazy too?! Why didn't you stop her? Why did you let her into the house? Why don't you kick her out!"
Chen Xingling looked at Gu Yi who buried his head and dared not say a word, and then looked at Zhao Xiaoxing who was hiding behind him and quietly wiping away tears, his expression was very calm.
"Mom, please calm down for a while. This building is not like our old house in Beijing. If you shout a few times here, people upstairs and downstairs can hear it clearly. Even if you don't care about your own face, you have to care about Aqi."
Ying's eyes were red as she said in a rough voice: "He came to you with a woman without saying a word, and you kept her?! You brought all kinds of cats and dogs into your home! Who told you to keep her?"
Chen Xingling sat down slowly and explained: "Xiao Xing is not an outsider. She has been engaged, her relatives have been welcomed, and she has been married. She is already Ayi's wife. This family belongs to me and Aqi, but Ayi is Aqi's younger brother after all. Can I stop the young couple from entering the house?"
Ying was stunned: “…”! ! !
Qin Tiantian was drinking water and watching the show, and was stunned by surprise when she heard this.
Ying stared at Gu Yi in horror and asked in a hoarse voice: "What?! When did you marry that mountain girl? When did you do this?! Who allowed you to do this?!"
Gu Yi didn't dare to answer. He buried his head to block his lover and kept dodging.
Ying yelled like crazy: "Speak! Are you really deaf?!"
"Let me tell you." Chen Xingling spoke slowly, "It was Aqi and I who came up with it. Aqi paid for Ayi and I to go to the mountain to propose marriage. Pingshuo Mountain is too far from here, and Ayi had to rush back to start work, so the wedding ceremony was a little simple. However, all the necessary etiquette for the proposal and marriage was complete, and the person was officially married into the family. In this case, Xiaoxing is Ayi's official wife."
Ying was dumbfounded again: "You - what does Aqi mean? You went to the mountains with him to propose marriage?! You - you - you are going to piss me off to death!"
Qin Tiantian quickly put down the cup and patted Ying's back gently and considerately.
"Auntie, please don't be angry. Sister Ling must have her reasons for doing this. Please listen to her explanation first. Don't get angry and hurt yourself. Your health is more important."
Ying was so angry that she gasped for air and pointed at Chen Xingling for a long time but couldn't curse at all.
"You-you-what right do you have to propose marriage? Who do you think you are? I told Aqi not to want you a long time ago, but it was Aqi who kept you! Are you so arrogant that you think you are a piece of cake?"
Chen Xingling smiled calmly and said, "As long as Aqi and I don't divorce, I will be his legal wife. He is the eldest son of this family and the eldest brother of Gu Yi. The eldest brother is like a father, why can't he make the decision to help his younger brother get the marriage proposal? It's enough for Aqi to hold me in his heart. I don't care whether I am a dish or not."
"You——" Ying was so angry that she felt dizzy, but she couldn't find the words to retort, and her forehead was throbbing with anxiety.
Chen Xingling slowly rolled up his sleeves and said calmly, "Mom, I don't know what you are worrying about. Your son has married a daughter-in-law, and you don't have to pay a penny or do any work. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
Ying's eyes were red as she yelled, "I don't want a daughter-in-law like this! I'm already unhappy enough that Aqi married a country fisherwoman like you! This brat actually dared to go to a remote corner of the mountain and marry a village girl! We are both city dwellers with city household registration!"
"So what?" Chen Xingling asked disdainfully, "Are city people so great? Now it's your son who's getting married. If he wants to marry, he'll marry. Why are you interfering? It's not you who's getting married! The couple is married, it's done. What can you change by making a fuss?"
Ying was so angry that she fell on the sofa and cried bitterly.
Qin Tiantian looked at Chen Xingling in disbelief, and tried to comfort Ying in a panic.
Chen Xingling stood up with his chin raised.
"Okay, stop crying. Crying won't change the facts. Let's get ready for dinner! Ah Yi, go serve the porridge. Xiao Xing, go help clean up the dishes. Xiao Hu, come and help your grandma. Today's meal is very sumptuous - fish rice, large shrimps, fried meat rolls, and steamed barbecued pork buns!"
When Gu Yi heard the order, he ran to the kitchen.
Zhao Xiaoxing hastily wiped away her tears and hurriedly followed him into the kitchen.
Little Tiger came running over, shouting, "Grandma! Mom cooked a table of delicious food! My mom made these barbecued pork buns, which are so delicious! I even told the kids in kindergarten that my mom is the best chef in the world!"
Ying glanced at the little guy and turned away angrily.
Chen Xingling brought out plate after plate of delicious dishes, along with four tall steamers. The aroma of barbecued pork buns instantly filled the entire living room.
Qin Tiantian swallowed unconsciously and pushed Ying.
"Auntie, are you hungry? How about - how about eating first?"
The two of them ate cold steamed buns on the train for two days and one night, and finally arrived in Yucheng. After many twists and turns, they finally arrived at the shipyard, but unexpectedly, Gu Qi's family was not there!
I left a note and went to stay in a guesthouse, but I didn't expect that meals were not provided there, so if I wanted to eat, I could only go to the canteen in the shipyard.
But you need a meal ticket to enter the canteen, otherwise you can’t buy food. The canteen workers saw that they were both strangers and had no acquaintances to lead them, so they ignored them.
In the past few days, the two of them have not had one or two hot meals.
At this moment, looking at the table full of fresh food and smelling the delicious aroma of barbecued pork buns, my stomach has already started to growl.
Ying's stomach growled. She swallowed, slowly turned her head, and quietly held Xiaohu's hand.
Little Tiger took advantage of the situation and pulled, shouting, "Grandma! Let's go eat!"
Then, everyone gathered around the table and started eating.
Gu Yi held the barbecued pork bun in his hand and secretly glanced at the girl wolfing down the food. He couldn't believe that this "catastrophe" would end in such a harmonious way. While he was secretly happy, he was full of admiration for his sister-in-law.
