Rebirth Era: After the Beautiful Sister-in-law Refuses to Open Business

"Your grandfather is telling the truth."

Mrs. Chen smiled and said, "When your father called and told him he was going to get on the train, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling."

"You're talking about me, but you're the same."

Old Man Chen smiled as he looked at Old Lady Chen and shook his head, with helplessness evident in his eyes.

"If my dad knew that you and your grandma were looking forward to him and my mom coming to Beijing, he would probably be very happy too."

Song Lan's clear eyes were curved like a crescent moon. She said with a gentle smile in her tone, "I met my aunt when I entered the courtyard. Did she go out for something?"

Hearing this, Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen's expressions changed a little bit at the same time. They were silent for a moment. Mrs. Chen said, "About a quarter of an hour ago, Dongze called home, and it happened to be your aunt who answered the phone.

From their conversation, Dongze was worried about his wife's pregnancy and the hassle of taking the train, so he said he would not go back to Beijing for the New Year. Your aunt was not very happy about this, so she hung up the phone and left the house. "

"You really need to be more careful in the early and late stages of pregnancy, otherwise, accidents are likely to happen."

Song Lan spoke softly, and Mrs. Chen nodded in agreement. Then, she sighed and said, "Your aunt has been dissatisfied with Dongze's wife from the beginning. With her temper, I guess there will be a lot of conflicts between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law when they live together."

"Dongze's wife is a good one."

Mr. Chen said something suddenly.

"I didn't say that the kid was bad."

Staring at Old Man Chen, Old Lady Chen turned her gaze back to Song Lan: "Your grandfather and I lived in the village for a while before. Dongze's wife is good in every way, but her temperament is too soft.

She will most likely just be bullied by your aunt in the future."

"With you and Grandpa here, Auntie shouldn't make things difficult for her daughter-in-law. Besides, we still have Uncle San and Chen Dongze, and they won't let Auntie make things difficult for Zheng Zhiqing."

Song Lan couldn't say whether she liked or disliked her aunt Zhang Hua. After all, they didn't live under the same roof. To be honest, her attitude towards her didn't cause her any emotional impact.

What's more, to Song Lan, Zhang Hua is just an outsider, so there is no need to spend any time on him.

Time passed quickly, and it was less than a quarter of an hour before lunch, but Zhang Hua had not returned home yet. Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen looked calm on the surface, but they were dissatisfied in their hearts.

"Grandma, are there any ingredients in the kitchen?"

Song Lan glanced at the clock on the wall in the living room and couldn't help but stand up and ask Mrs. Chen.

"Yes, yes, but you just sit down. Your aunt is out for a while. She should be back soon. Then your aunt will make lunch."

She knows that her husband's niece has come home, but she hasn't come back yet. Does this mean that she has something against the old couple?

The more Old Mrs. Chen thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became with her daughter-in-law Zhang Hua, and the more depressed she felt.

"Let me do it, so that grandpa and grandma can taste my cooking skills."

Song Lan's eyes were filled with smiles as she prepared to walk towards the kitchen.

"Grandma is with you."

Old Mrs. Chen was about to get up, but seeing this, Song Lan hurriedly stopped her: "I can do it by myself, Grandma, you and Grandpa can just sit in the living room and chat."

"Lanlan has already said so, you'd better sit down and don't make trouble."

Old Master Chen said this. Upon hearing this, Old Lady Chen glared at him angrily: "What do you mean I shouldn't cause trouble?"

"Are you sure you can cook?"

Others may not know, but Mr. Chen knows clearly that when his wife enters the kitchen, it is like fighting on the front line.

That scene... is simply unbearable to watch!

Mrs. Chen was embarrassed, but she tried to suppress the embarrassment caused by her husband's low posture and said casually, "I can help my granddaughter."

"Need not."

Song Lan said: "I cook very quickly."

Without waiting for Mrs. Chen to speak, Mr. Chen called his waiter to go to the kitchen to help Song Lan.

During the years they lived in the courtyard for recuperation, the meals for Mr. and Mrs. Chen were all prepared by the service staff. Even after they moved back to the compound, when their daughter-in-law Zhang Hua was not at home, it was still Mr. Chen's service staff who cooked for them and solved their food problems.

Zhang Hua didn't enter the house until Song Lan and Old Man Chen had finished lunch and took the bus to the train station.

"You didn't know Lanlan was at home, or do you have a problem with me and the old man?"

The sudden sound floated into his ears, and Zhang Hua's steps towards the living room paused.

"Mom, you said that to me as soon as I entered the house. What on earth does that mean?"

Old Mrs. Chen was sitting on the sofa. She had a sullen expression on her face and looked straight at Zhang Hua. When their eyes met, Zhang Hua's eyes flickered slightly, without any sign of guilt or pretending to be confused.

"I think you are pretending to be ignorant even though you know the truth!"

Old Madam Chen said angrily, "On the day Lanlan first came to Beijing, she was wronged because of you and Xiaoshu as soon as she got home. Now that she is here, you are embarrassing her again. Is this something an aunt can do?"

"Mom, you got angry at me, so I want to ask, what did I do that I shouldn't have done?"

Zhang Hua didn't dare to get angry with Old Lady Chen, but the innocence revealed in her expression made Old Lady Chen even more angry.

"You are the aunt. When Lanlan comes home, even if you have something to do outside, shouldn't you rush back to prepare the meal when it's time for dinner?"

He is petty and likes to flatter the powerful and look down on the weak. No wonder Xiaoshu has become such an annoying person and has ruined her granddaughter.

Thinking about this, Mrs. Chen looked at Zhang Hua with obvious displeasure. She said, "Lanlan is the third brother's niece. If the third brother knew what you did today, how do you think he would look at you?"

"How can he look at me? I just had something to do outside and couldn't get back in time, and this family won't have no one to cook without me. Why are you so angry with me?!"

Zhang Hua tried her best to control her temper and said, "Besides, as you said, that child is Chang Qing's niece. In my opinion, she is one of my family members. Besides, she is a junior. Why should I, as her aunt, have to serve her food and drink?"

"What are you talking about?!"

Old Mrs. Chen's expression became more and more unsightly: "If Lanlan grew up in this family, or if she often came to our house, do you think I would say what I said to you before?"

"..."

Zhang Hua's mouth twitched, but he couldn't think of any words to refute.

"I know you are upset about Dongze's phone call, but no matter how unhappy you are, you should have some sense of propriety. Besides, Dongze can't come back for the New Year. Is this the child's fault?

As a mother, you don't know how to care and understand, but you are angry that your child can't come back to spend the New Year with you. This is simply unreasonable!"

Old Mrs. Chen spoke sternly. She really wanted to pry open Zhang Hua's head to see what was inside. After learning that her daughter-in-law was pregnant, she didn't show any concern or advice, but instead criticized her son and daughter-in-law through the microphone. Is such a person worthy of being a mother?
