When Grandma Gu thought of this, she looked at Bai Xiuwen again and felt that there was nothing she liked about him.

Although Bai Xiuwen was handsome, a scholar, and had a respectable job, living together was not just about appearance.

Even though his pants were covered in mud, he still acted like a gentleman. If the two of them were really together, Ran'er would be so scared that she would serve him like a nanny.

Plus, his mother was the most hypocritical and unreasonable person she had ever seen. No matter which family's daughter married into the family, she would probably be bullied and wasted by his mother.

She felt that Bai Xiuwen was not suitable for Song Ran in any way!

However, today was Song Ran's home court, and Li Wanshu didn't bring up the subject. As an outsider, she couldn't say anything either, so she just drank the soup in silence.

The atmosphere seemed a bit depressing.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Song Ran smiled and broke the silence: "Let me serve you some more soup."

Li Wanshu also took over the conversation with a smile and said, "Okay, this sour soup is appetizing. I'll have two bowls of rice later."

"It's such a hot day, and I'm drinking hot soup, which makes me sweat and stink." Bai Xiuwen said in a disappointing way.

Song Ran stopped filling the bowl with soup, feeling a little annoyed, blaming herself for not speaking well and touching this man's sore spot. Now this man was holding a grudge and was afraid that he would make trouble for her.

"It's impossible not to sweat in the summer! I just love drinking this soup." said Li Wanshu.

"Yes, yes, sour soup is appetizing. Give me more. I want another bowl!"

"Sister, I want it too!"

"Hehe." Bai Xiuwen snorted coldly, his face becoming increasingly grim.

Song Ran also caught a glimpse of the man's expression.

Originally, she planned to take advantage of this opportunity to have more people drink with Li Wanshu. When they were drunk, she would tell him her story.

However, the current situation has obviously exceeded her expectations, and she is afraid that she can't drink the wine happily. She doesn't want to care about this man anymore, so she goes straight to the point and says to Li Wanshu: "Village Chief, I don't know if the dishes today are to your taste. If you think there is anything wrong with it, please tell me."

Li Wanshu ate the meat and drank the wine, enjoying the meal. Is there any need to ask if it suits your taste? Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. He wiped his mouth full of oil and said, "Ran Ran, your cooking skills are really good! I really don't know which family is lucky enough to marry you as a daughter-in-law."

As he spoke, he glanced at Bai Xiuwen.

Song Ran was so focused on her own business that she couldn't understand the look Li Wanshu was giving her. She thought Li Wanshu was very satisfied with her cooking skills, so she said a little embarrassedly, "Village chief, you see, the people who cook banquets in our village now have to ask people from other villages to be cooks. Do you think I have the ability to do this job?"

"Oh?" Li Wanshu became serious. He didn't expect that the girl in front of him had this plan.

Although only four dishes were cooked today, they just happened to cover the four cooking methods of stewing, braising, stir-frying and frying. Whether it is the taste, the dishes or the knife skills, it can be seen that the cooking skills are very good.

But in these villages, all the people who prepare banquets are men, and he has never seen a woman taking the lead.

"How can this be possible!" Without waiting for Li Wanshu to speak, Bai Xiuwen retorted loudly, although he was somewhat displeased with the woman in front of him for what had just happened.

But on second thought, if he got married and taught her well, he could change her bad habits. But if he still showed up like this after getting married, he would be laughed at by his classmates.

Song Ran saw Bai Xiuwen's expression changing unpredictably, and didn't know that this man had already planned their future.

She was confused by this rebuttal. What did this man have to do with her talking to the village chief? He was eating her food for free, but he couldn't shut up this man.

Don't let his mouth block her way to make money.

Although she was very angry, she still wanted to ask Li Wanshu for help because he was Li Wanshu's nephew. She suppressed the anger in her heart, poured herself another glass of wine, and apologized: "Brother Xiuwen, I'm sorry for what I said just now, but I didn't mean it. I hope you can forgive me!"

Bai Xiuwen frowned even more tightly when he saw Song Ran's bold behavior. He had never seen a young lady from an official family apologize by drinking. This behavior was incompatible with her virtuous image.

"Xiu Wen!" Li Wanshu said with a slightly blaming tone, and then said to Song Ran: "Don't you know? Why blame you for this? This time is strange, second time is familiar. In the future, you two will get along slowly and the misunderstanding will be resolved slowly, hehe."

"Then... Village Chief, do you think there is anything wrong with what I just proposed?"

"Well..." Li Wanshu hesitated, but he didn't want to refute Song Ran outright.

"Bang!" Bai Xiuwen put down his chopsticks heavily, "Didn't I just say it! This won't work! You are such a stubborn woman."

Song Li was frightened by this slap on the table. How could she still eat properly? Why did this man slap the table while eating?

She looked at the people around her.

Angry! There were too many people, she couldn't do anything!

No matter how good Song Ran's temper was, it all disappeared at this moment. "Big brother! Just tell me why it's not possible? Why do you say it's not possible? Who do you think you are!"

"Hey hey." Li Wanshu waved his hands.

"You, you..." Bai Xiuwen was so shocked by the vulgar words that he couldn't speak clearly. "A woman should stay at home, take care of her husband and children, and be a good wife and mother. How can she show her face and wander around as a cook?"

"Oh, what you said is wrong!" Seeing the two quarreling, Grandma Gu couldn't stand it anymore. She saw clearly from the side that Song Ran was concentrating on promoting his craftsmanship and didn't know what the two were up to.

This Bai Xiuwen is really a fool. He started to give orders to the girl when they met for the first time.

"If Wan Yue had also been a good wife and mother, you would have been able to study with peace of mind!" The Wan Yue mentioned by Grandma Gu was Bai Xiuwen's mother. Wan Yue had a miserable life. Her husband went to the front line just when her child could walk and died there.

"You, you, you! How can this be said!" Bai Xiuwen felt ashamed and self-blame when outsiders mentioned his mother.

"Why are they different..." A young widow with a son, an unmarried girl with a sister. They are both women, which one is easier! ? However, Granny Gu did not say the rest of the words. Scholars are sensitive about their reputation. If she lost her sense of propriety and said something, she was afraid that the situation would be even more difficult to deal with.

"My mother had to raise me alone because she had her own reasons!"

"When Ran'er was raising Xiao Li'er by herself, she was just a sensible girl!"

"You, you, you! When a scholar meets a soldier, he can't explain himself clearly. Alas!" Bai Xiuwen said, shaking his head.

"We are not soldiers..." Song Ran said in a low voice.

Bai Xiuwen took two deep breaths and continued in a teaching tone: "When two people get married, the man should stay outside to build the family business. The woman should stay at home to take care of household chores, take care of the younger generation, and be filial to the elders."

"Then why do you have to get married? You can just respect your elders." Song Li said slowly after swallowing the last piece of meat in the bowl.

She remembered that Grandma Gu had said the word "filial piety", and she wanted to be filial to her elder sister.

But she didn't know why this man lectured her in a lecturing tone. She clearly remembered that in the conversation just now, he was also taken care of by a woman when he was young.

Her elder sister took care of her, so she respected her elder sister. His mother took care of him, so he should also respect his mother.

Unexpectedly, Song Li's light words hit Bai Xiuwen's fragile self-esteem so hard.

He is almost thirty years old and has a decent job, but his mother is still doing work for him that he thinks is "undignified". Many people criticize him for being unfilial behind his back.

"You!" Bai Xiuwen stood up suddenly and pointed at Song Li with trembling fingers.

"What are you doing!" Song Ran immediately stepped forward to protect him, glaring at Bai Xiuwen fiercely.

Li Wanshu stood up, slapped Bai Xiuwen's hand, and scolded him, "Hey, sit down, sit down! Why are you arguing with a child like you?"

"I'm not sitting anymore! I can't swallow this meal today. Goodbye!" Bai Xiuwen waved his sleeves, turned around, and strode out of the house.

"This..." Song Ran was a little at a loss.

"Don't bother with him, he's just stubborn." Li Wanshu took a big gulp of wine.

This wasn't the first time his nephew had turned his face away. There were two or three times when they had clearly agreed, but when they reached the girl's door, he turned around and left without hesitation, leaving him there to be a grandson for others to smile at.

If it weren't for the fact that his sister only had this son and always begged him for help with tears in her eyes, he would have ignored this terrible matter long ago.

"Then... Village Chief, please drink more wine and eat more vegetables." Song Ran sighed inwardly. It seemed that what she was expecting was not going to happen.
