Fortunately, Zhou's mother came out to rescue Xu Qingluo. Xu Qingluo hurried to the kitchen to avoid a fight between the children.

Zhou's mother had already cut tomatoes and beaten eggs for her, and her scrambled eggs with tomatoes were quickly cooked.

"It's time to eat!"

At Zhou's mother's command, the children all took their seats. Just like the night before, the adults sat at one table and the children sat at another.

"Grandpa and grandma, this is the scrambled eggs with tomatoes that I made."

"Try my cooking."

Xu Qingluo looked forward to watching Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou. Xu Qingluo's cooking skills were average, but the two elders gave him face.

"good."

“It’s great that it can be done.”

Grandma Zhou praised her. In the two old people's minds, Xu Qingluo was still a child, and it was very good that she could cook decent meals.

Grandpa Zhou nodded at the side, which was considered as recognition of her craftsmanship. In the minds of the older generation, food is precious.

There is an aunt at home who cooks three meals a day, so Xu Qingluo doesn't need to cook often. The Zhou family has no requirements for female family members to cook.

As long as you can do it, it's fine. There's no need to be proficient in everything.

Zhou's father and mother were also very considerate. Xu Qingluo looked at Zhou Yuheng expectantly. Zhou Yuheng felt her gaze and scooped a spoonful into his bowl.

Zhou Yuheng doesn't have any requirements for food. As long as it's edible, he won't dislike it.

"How about it?"

"good to eat."

Zhou Yuheng praised with an expressionless face, and Xu Qingluo's smile became even more pronounced after receiving his approval.

Seeing her smiling face with curved eyebrows, Zhou Yuheng's eyes softened.

Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou also tasted it and said she cooked it well.

Chen Xiangyan (eldest cousin) couldn't help but pursed her lips when she heard everyone praising the delicious food cooked by Xu Qingluo.

Isn't this just scrambled eggs with tomatoes? Anyone can make it? Is it really necessary to praise it like this?

"My cousin's wife still needs to learn a few more dishes."

"Otherwise, if I go with the army in the future, my cousin will have to starve."

Chen Xiangyan's tone was instructive, and her words were all for Xu Qingluo's own good. The eldest cousin (Zhou Yuze) beside him frowned and looked at his wife.

"I'm not complaining that the food my cousin's wife cooks is not delicious."

"It's just that my cousin is a soldier, so it's better for him to have a hot meal when he comes home."

Chen Xiangyan is the first granddaughter-in-law to marry into the Zhou family. Over the years, she has become accustomed to using this tone to guide her younger siblings.

"Thank you for your concern, cousin, but the great comrades all say that men and women are equal."

"Besides, isn't everyone eating hot meals?"

Xu Qingluo looked at everyone with innocence in her eyes. Was there ever a meal that Zhou Yuheng ate at home that was not hot?

When did I treat him badly?

Seeing that she didn't really understand the meaning of her words, Chen Xiangyan continued to open her mouth to say something, but Xu Qingluo didn't give her any chance.

"Don't worry about my family's affairs, cousins."

"My cousin and his wife are leaving tomorrow, so let's eat more tonight."

Xu Qingluo spoke to her in a caring tone like an elder. Chen Xiangyan was stunned. She never expected that Xu Qingluo would lose face in front of her.

After all, she is a few years older than Xu Qingluo, and has been married into the Zhou family the longest. Xu Qingluo should listen to her opinions more.

Grandpa Zhou took a sip of wine without saying anything. Grandma Zhou glanced at Chen Xiangyan, her eyes showing a hint of complexity and her face showing a hint of anger.

The three granddaughters-in-law of the second son are somewhat confused about the priorities. This time, it is time to let the three granddaughters-in-law of the second son see their place clearly.

"I........"

Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou did not say anything to accuse Xu Qingluo of wrongdoing. Naturally, Father Zhou and Mother Zhou and Uncle Zhou and Aunt Zhou did not dare to say anything either.

According to seniority, Xu Qingluo is Chen Xiangyan's cousin-in-law, and Chen Xiangyan should respect Xu Qingluo as her cousin-in-law.

Instead of publicly showing her a cold shoulder on the third day after Xu Qingluo got married, what's more, Xu Qingluo was the daughter-in-law of the eldest wife, and she was overstepping her bounds.

Aunt Zhou looked at Chen Xiangyan with disappointment. Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou didn't say that there was anything wrong with Xu Qingluo's behavior. Is Chen Xiangyan crazy?

"I didn't marry a wife to cook for me."

"My cousins ​​are being too nosy."

Zhou Yuheng chuckled, his tone a little cold. He usually didn't like to talk much, and didn't like to argue with his cousin. He always spoke with his real ability, and would never bother with women.

But he protects his own people. If you really make him angry, he won't give face to anyone. In his heart, any man who can't protect his wife and parents is a coward.

"Cousin, my wife said something wrong."

"I apologized to my cousin's wife on her behalf."

Zhou Yuze (eldest cousin) saw Zhou Yuheng's angry face and quickly stood up to apologize on behalf of his wife. Zhou Yuheng looked at him coldly.

Chen Xiangyan was so scared when she saw Zhou Yuheng's cold face that she didn't dare to look up. Zhou Yuheng was not someone who was easy to talk to.

Zhou Yuheng had some happy events during this period, so he was naturally more tolerant of the people and things around him. However, because of this tolerance, some people almost forgot his original temper and methods.

Zhou Yuze pulled his wife's hand. Chen Xiangyan quickly raised her head. When she saw the hostility in Zhou Yuheng's eyes, she was so scared that she trembled as she spoke.

"Cousin, cousin's wife...I'm sorry."

"Well, next time, cousins, it's better to mind your own business."

Xu Qingluo didn't bother to pay attention to her. She had just gotten married and hadn't even returned home when Chen Xiangyan gave her a cold shoulder in public. If she was considerate and responded well, she would deserve to be bullied.

Chen Xiangyan was speechless because of her words and could only respond sullenly: "I know, cousin, I am meddling in your business."

Xu Qingluo tugged at Zhou Yuheng's little finger under the table, and Zhou Yuheng's hostility lessened a bit. He then wrapped her hand in his own and placed it on his thigh.

There was a smile in Xu Qingluo's eyes, and her heart was full of security. This man... was really reliable.

Grandpa Zhou glanced at Zhou Yuheng and saw that his anger was instantly calmed down by Xu Qingluo, and there was a hint of smile in his eyes.

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit awkward. Mother Zhou looked at Aunt Zhou, who looked unhappy. She was irritated by Chen Xiangyan's stupidity.

Mother Zhou raised her wine glass and comforted Aunt Zhou Er with a few words: "Sister-in-law, it's a good thing for the younger generation to be full of youthful vigor."

Mother Zhou gave Aunt Zhou an excuse to step aside. Aunt Zhou took a deep breath and curled her lips: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, sister-in-law."

Zhou Ershou was not comforted by Zhou's mother. She had never seen such a stupid person in her life. She had warned her eldest daughter-in-law in the kitchen.

But in the blink of an eye, her eldest daughter-in-law forgot her instructions and no one knew who had eaten her brain!

Uncle Zhou also offered a glass of apology to Father Zhou. Father Zhou smiled and said a few words to ease the situation. He didn't care about the quarrels between these younger generations. After all, every family has conflicts.
