The rural doctor is busy with farming, and her abstinent husband can't bear it

Holding Xier's delicate little hand, Su Yu sat down next to Jiang Ziling. The two exchanged a knowing look, which showed both trust in each other and determination to stand together with the outside world.

Jiang Xunzhong witnessed this scene, and the heavy stone in his heart fell to the ground quietly. He knew that with Su Yu's temper, if he was really provoked, he would not hesitate to overturn the table and leave.

Just as Jiang Xunzhong opened his mouth to announce the official start of the dinner and encouraged everyone to relax and enjoy the food, Su Yu suddenly spoke up to stop everyone who was about to raise their chopsticks.

She gently took off the silver hairpin in her hair, wiped it carefully a few times, and then calmly put it into the tempting dishes one by one, performing a very eye-catching "poison testing ceremony".

This action instantly froze the expressions on everyone present's faces, and a subtle yet heavy atmosphere quietly filled the air.

This open suspicion and defensiveness was undoubtedly a loud slap in the face to Zhao in public, making her lose all face.

Su Yu maintained her tepid tone, explaining calmly and firmly: "The situation is turbulent, so it's always a good idea to be more careful. Especially for my mother-in-law, whose mind is hard to guess. I already have a grudge against her. Now, not long after losing her beloved son, she is eager to set up such a sumptuous banquet. Don't you think it's a bit strange?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's thoughts seemed to be swept away by a sudden storm, and they all deviated from their original course. After careful consideration, they felt that Su Yu's words made sense.

Zhao's lips slightly opened, as if she had thousands of words to say, but in the end she just pursed her lips and forced back the rebuttal that was about to burst out.

Su Yu's lips formed a faint smile, but her eyes were as sharp as a hawk, fixed on Zhao, and her voice was chilling: "Who can guarantee that she has no resentment in her heart? If she really wants us to be buried with her son who died young, it is not impossible."

These words were like a thunderclap, shocking everyone present. The originally relaxed and happy atmosphere disappeared in an instant.

"you……"

Zhao was furious and was about to stand up to attack, but was held down by Jiang Xunzhong in time. A trace of helplessness and indignation flashed in her eyes.

In the end, she could only sit down again angrily, take a few deep breaths, force herself to swallow her anger, and try to maintain superficial calm, but the storm in her heart could not subside for a long time.

Stay calm, you must stay calm. Even the slightest mistake will lead you into the verbal trap carefully set by this cunning girl.

Zhao warned herself secretly, then adjusted her expression, and drew a perfect smile at the corner of her mouth. She slowly said to Su Yu in front of her: "Second wife, you may have misunderstood, but it's my fault. My past behavior did give you the opportunity to misunderstand. So today, I came here specially to express my most sincere apologies to the first and second wives."

Zhao's words were gentle and sincere. Every word seemed to have been carefully considered, leaving no room for error. There seemed to be a subtle sense of reconciliation in the air.

Su Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, with a cunning light in his eyes, and asked back: "Oh? Is that really the case?"

The silver hairpin in her hand was like a spirit snake, moving lightly among the dishes on the plate. Every flash of silver light pulled at the hearts of the onlookers. Not until all the dishes had been inspected did everyone's hanging hearts gradually settle down, and the atmosphere in the room also relaxed a little.

"It seems like I'm worrying too much."

After Su Yu finished speaking, she carefully wiped the silver hairpin that had witnessed everything and inserted it into her hair again. A harmless yet slightly cunning smile blossomed on her face, as if everything was under control.

Seeing this, Zhao's mouth twitched slightly. She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and quickly said, "So, you should believe my sincerity, right? After all, we are a family, and in the past..."

However, Su Yu did not give her a chance to continue, and gently waved his hand to interrupt Zhao's eager words: "I know you are anxious, but please be patient. I have been busy all day, let me eat a meal and rest first, this is not too much, right?"

A series of cold treatments made Zhao feel quite embarrassed. Although she was unwilling, she had to admit that Su Yu was very scheming. If the opponent was not too difficult, she would not have fallen into such a passive situation.

On second thought, there is still a chance to use the power of the village elders to ease the relationship between the two families after dinner. There is still a long way to go and there are plenty of opportunities.

"Yes, yes, it's important to eat first."

Seeing this, Jiang Xunzhong hurried out to smooth things over and try to ease the tense atmosphere.

At the table, Su Yu picked up some food for Jiang Ziling and Xier, and said gently, "You're welcome. Eat more."

Later, she joined in the feast.

Jiang Ziling felt the atmosphere was awkward at first, but when he saw Su Yu change the mood naturally and smoothly, his heart suddenly became clear and he began to enjoy this rare family dinner.

At the dinner table, Su Yu casually commented on each dish while eating:

"This dish seems to have less oil. It almost sticks to the bottom of the pan."

"If this piece of meat can be stewed for a little longer, it will definitely be softer and more flavorful."

"The technique of frying peanuts needs to be improved. The inside is still raw."

She pointed at a dish of vegetarian food that was as bland as water and said half-jokingly, "This dish is as bland as the vegetarian food in a Buddhist temple. Adding some salt won't make anyone go bankrupt..."

Although the words were sharp, Su Yu's chopsticks never stopped moving. He took one dish after another and ate with gusto.

Her comments are sharp yet humorous. Although they may make people feel a little irritated, one cannot help but admire her straightforwardness and truthfulness.

People around you are secretly wondering how long you can maintain this honesty.

Just when everyone thought Su Yu would continue to be venomous, she suddenly changed the subject and said to Zhao: "Sister, don't you agree?"

This question seemed unintentional, but it made Xie Xinghua, who was originally staying out of the matter, suddenly become the focus of the whole audience.

Xie Xinghua looked at Zhao's increasingly gloomy face, feeling uneasy: "This... I..."

Zhao forced herself to maintain a smile, feeling mixed emotions in her heart: "Oh, don't mind it, everyone knows that you are not very good at cooking, it's okay, I can teach you in the future."

She endured the pain in her wrists from cooking for so long, hoping that her efforts would win some recognition, but she never expected that what she got was Su Yu's criticism.

What made Zhao feel even more aggrieved was that Su Yu obviously mistakenly thought that these imperfect dishes were made by Xie Xinghua. This made her, who had really put in the effort to cook, feel very miserable and had no place to vent her anger.

Seeing Zhao's face turn pale and on the verge of exploding, Su Yu couldn't suppress his joy in his heart.

Xie Xinghua, who had just stood beside him, exuded only a faint scent of soapberry.
