Looking at the mother and daughter standing opposite each other, Xiao Zheng was embarrassed on the spot. Especially in the mall where people from all walks of life gathered, even if Xiao Zheng was thick-skinned, he still couldn't lift his head.
But facing Lin Huayin's strong questioning, Ye Yuhua's face was indifferent. She didn't get angry because of Lin Huayin's sharp attack at all. Instead, she said with a smile, "What you said makes sense. I really don't have a root of wisdom."
After saying that, she glanced at Xiao Zheng again and said softly, "Don't scold me here. Xiao Zheng is a bit embarrassed."
Lin Huayin only felt that her fist that was full of power had fiercely punched a sponge. She didn't feel happy at all. She couldn't help but grit her teeth and said coldly, "Useless!" Then, she turned and went straight to the supermarket without looking back.
Once Lin Huayin left, Xiao Zheng immediately heaved a sigh of relief. He took two steps forward and said, "Aunty, don't blame Huayin. Something happened to her recently. Her mood is a bit unstable."
Ye Yuhua smiled and said, "How can a mother blame her daughter? But you, don't you feel uncomfortable being sandwiched between us? "
"Of course not." Xiao Zheng carefully explained. "Actually, I've wanted to chat with you for a long time. It's just that I never had the chance. This time, you must stay for a few more days when you come to Mingzhu. I still want to listen to you talk about the past. "
"Silly child." Ye Yuhua looked kindly at Xiao Zheng and said softly. "Aunty is just a woman who couldn't keep her marriage and couldn't be a good mother. What past do I have to tell you? "
Xiao Zheng immediately said solemnly, "Aunty, I've always felt that you're a heroine among women. No matter what happens in the future, I'll definitely stand by your side. If Huayin dares to talk nonsense to you again, as long as you don't object, I'll definitely kill her. "
Perhaps she was amused by Xiao Zheng's righteous words. Ye Yuhua couldn't help but smile and said softly, "Even if I don't object, do you dare?"
"…"
Xiao Zheng felt that his mother-in-law had poked his soft spot, so he was a little unhappy and said with a straight face, "Auntie, I'm not happy to hear that. I'm already standing on your side. Even if you're firm in your stance, you can't take it out on me. You're not particular. "
Ye Yuhua smiled and looked at Xiao Zheng meaningfully. She smiled and said, "Let's go. Your wife has gone far."
Your wife?
Xiao Zheng shuddered. His heart was filled with ecstasy, and he felt that his painstaking efforts this morning had not been in vain. He had finally gotten his mother-in-law's approval. He couldn't help but be extremely attentive as he waited on Ye Yuhua's side.
The three of them bought a cart full of ingredients and went home. Xiao Zheng first served his mother-in-law in the living room with tea and snacks before putting on his apron and going to the kitchen to help.
"Let me help you wash the vegetables." Xiao Zheng approached Lin Huayin, who was coldly preparing the ingredients, and asked carefully.
"No need." Lin Huayin said expressionlessly and firmly.
"Then I'll help you peel the garlic." Xiao Zheng wasn't angry and said with a smile. "You can't do it alone. It'll be easier for me to help you."
Lin Huayin frowned and said indifferently, "Go and rest. I'll call you when I'm done."
"How can I do that?" Xiao Zheng said seriously. "My mother-in-law is sitting in the living room. How can I go back to my room to sleep? If my mother-in-law sees me, she'll think that I'm used to being a boss at home. "
Hearing Xiao Zheng call Ye Yuhua mother-in-law, Lin Huayin didn't object. She just said in an unfriendly manner, "Then go and keep her company. I'm not used to having someone else in the kitchen. "
"I still can't —" Xiao Zheng looked at Lin Huayin and begged. "Let me stay here for a while. My mother-in-law's aura is too strong. It's suffocating. "
Lin Huayin was stunned and almost cut her hand.
In the end, Xiao Zheng stayed to help wash the vegetables, carry the plates, and occasionally talk to Lin Huayin. However, Lin Huayin was as quiet as ever. She didn't speak if she could. When she had no other choice, she tried to express her meaning in the shortest possible words. She didn't want to say a word more.
After cooking with great difficulty, Xiao Zheng was busy carrying the dishes while calling Ye Yuhua, who was resting in the living room, to eat. When the three of them gathered at the table and were ready to enjoy this sumptuous lunch, someone suddenly knocked on the door.
"I'll go open the door." Xiao Zheng got up and opened the door. He found that the person who knocked on the door was none other than Lu Dashan, who helped him last night.
"Uncle Lu, why are you here?" Xiao Zheng asked in surprise.
"My wife is out shopping, and there's a power outage at home. We haven't had lunch yet," Lu Dashan, who was wearing home clothes, didn't have the powerful aura from last night. He looked like a housewife. He rolled his eyes, looked over Xiao Zheng's shoulder at the dining room, and said in a meaningful tone. He said earnestly, "I wanted to ask you to go out for lunch, but it seems like you can't go out …"
"Then you can eat with us," Xiao Zheng invited. "It's just a matter of having an extra pair of chopsticks."
"Then I won't stand on ceremony!" Lu Dashan quickly kicked off his leather shoes and put on a pair of slippers at the door. He looked like a bastard who wouldn't take advantage of a cheap deal.
"Aiya, you guys have such a sumptuous meal!" Lu Dashan went straight to the dining room. He first greeted the owner of the villa, Lin Huayin, and then smiled and nodded at Ye Yuhua, who was sitting across from him. Then, he sat at the dining table and rubbed his palms.
Xiao Zheng followed him back to the dining room and introduced him to the two girls, "Uncle Lu is our neighbor in the community. He's a nice person and has helped me before."
"Hello," Lin Huayin nodded and greeted him indifferently.
Ye Yuhua just smiled faintly and didn't say anything.
Xiao Zheng heard from Ye Yuhua that she and Lu Dashan were old acquaintances. It seemed that Lu Dashan's visit this time was 90% for Ye Yuhua. He didn't say much at the moment and just warmly invited everyone to eat.
Lu Dashan ate the food with relish while praising Xiao Luo's superb cooking skills. The younger generation will surpass us in time. During the whole meal, he didn't talk to Ye Yuhua as Xiao Zheng expected. Instead, he chatted with Lin Huayin about some irrelevant topics from time to time. Even Xiao Zheng was directly ignored by him.
After the meal, Lin Huayin gave Xiao Zheng a look and asked him to wash the dishes later. Then, she said to Lu Dashan, "I'm full, please enjoy your meal." Then, she went straight to the second floor and closed the door.
Obviously, she didn't like Lu Dashan, who was as talkative as Xiao Zheng. She didn't even want to listen to his nagging anymore.
"This child really has character." Lu Dashan also put down his bowl and chopsticks. He slowly turned his head and smiled at Ye Yuhua. "She's exactly the same as you in the past. It's like she's carved from the same mold."
Ye Yuhua smiled and said, "Everyone says she looks like father, but no one has ever said she looks like me."
Lu Dashan corrected her, "I mean character. This child's character perfectly inherited your genes. Very similar. "
