Time flies and it is the first day of the first lunar month.

Chen Yan and Cui Yunzhu carried half a pound of pork and new clothes for Zheng and walked towards the Chen family.

The half pound of pork was agreed upon with Chen Ping. The second brother's family came in person, and the two brothers decided to give the same thing every New Year.

This saves trouble.

But Chen Yan has already bought the clothes, so let it go this time.

Many families on the road were setting off firecrackers at their doorsteps. The villagers didn't have much money, so they couldn't buy firecrackers. They just bought two separate firecrackers and set them off as a token of their appreciation.

But with so many people setting off fireworks, it sounded very lively, and the Yulin Village was filled with the festive atmosphere of the New Year.

As they walked along, many familiar people came to greet them. When they saw Chen Yan holding a pound of pork, they praised him, "You are so filial, the third brother. You brought half a pound of meat for your mother in the first year of separation!"

Cui Mingzhu responded, seeming a little distressed, "Hey, don't say it, my family is so poor that we can't even afford to eat."

"Then why are you carrying half a pound of pork?"

"Look, my family and my second brother's family have both been divided up, and everyone is going to bring half a pound of pork. My husband and I can't go empty-handed, right?"

"If this matter..." Cui Yunzhu paused, "Well, I will inevitably be criticized by others."

Chen Yan, standing nearby, also agreed.

That person thought about it and it made sense. Wang, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family, was the most talkative. If the second son's family took the children with them but the third son's family did not, there would be trouble on New Year's Day.

She heard her grandson calling her from inside the house, so she chatted with Cui Yunzhu for a few words and then hurried back inside.

........

When they arrived at Chen's house, they went straight to the kitchen.

At this time of year in previous years, everyone gathered in the kitchen to cook. Although there weren’t many big dishes, strength lies in numbers, and the New Year’s dinner would be ready in no time.

So even if the men in the family don’t usually go into the kitchen, they will go in to help on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Sure enough, the second brother’s family and Wang were there, and Zheng and Chen Qiqi were also busy.

Chen Yan frowned, but his father and Chen Kang were missing.

It's understandable that Chen Kang is still lying in bed due to his injury, but Chen's father should have recovered long ago, and he hasn't even offered to come over to help.

When Zheng saw the third brother coming with half a pound of pork and a small bag of other things in his hands, she immediately smiled happily, and the wrinkles on her face were filled with joy. "You and your second brother are really something. Why did you spend that much money to carry half a pound of pork each!"

Wang curled her lips in disdain when she heard this, and insinuated, "You have money to treat people to a meal, but when you come to our house for the New Year, you only bring half a pound of pork."

As soon as these words were spoken, the smiles on the second brother's and Zheng's faces immediately turned cold.

What’s the matter with half a pound of pork? Some people don’t even offer anything!

Perhaps sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Wang didn't want to cause trouble that day, so she quickly interrupted with a smile, "Oh, I'm a big talker, I'm a big talker!"

She even pretended to slap her mouth twice.

"I don't see your family buying anything!"

Chen Qiqi snorted coldly.

Wang glared at her fiercely, feeling extremely annoyed. How could a money-losing person who still had to rely on her family for support be so arrogant!

"If anyone feels that there is not enough meat, just don't eat it later. We are afraid that there won't be enough for so many people."

Cui Yunzhu didn't take Wang's words to heart, but she was not made of clay, so why should she listen to her complaints?

"Yes, we don't have enough!"

Yaoyao parroted what her aunt said. She liked her third aunt, so she started to imitate her when she heard her say it, making everyone laugh.

"Yaoyao is right." Zheng's face was full of approval.

"mother....."

Wang panicked when she heard this. Just as she was about to speak, Cui Yunzhu opened the bag in her hand and took out the new clothes.

When Zheng saw the color, she realized she was the only one in the room who could wear it.

Her attention was immediately drawn to him, and her cold face was immediately filled with a smile.

He stroked the new clothes handed over by his daughter-in-law with both hands, feeling happy and distressed, "Look at you two, building a house already cost a lot of money, why are you wasting money on clothes?"

"Why would an old woman like me wear such nice clothes?"

That's what she said, but the joy on her face couldn't be faked.

Seeing this, Chen Yan pretended to apologize and cooperated with his mother, "Yes, we were inconsiderate."

"But your daughter-in-law bought this dress a long time ago and wanted to give it to you during the Chinese New Year!"

"Please do me a favor and stop nagging me."

"You're the best!"

Zheng poked his forehead and looked at Cui Yunzhu lovingly, "Yunzhu must have good taste. I'll go back to the room and change it right away!"

After saying that, she went back to her room happily to change clothes. She had to wear the red dress during the New Year.

She is also beautiful this year!

........

After the food was ready, Chen Yan and Chen Ping went to the main room and moved the big table to the yard. This was how they always did it during the Chinese New Year, having a lively meal in the yard.

At this time, Chen's father also came out with a gloomy face. He was still sulking. Although he thought about it carefully during this period, he felt that what he did was really wrong.

But no one came to coax him or say anything nice to him, so it was naturally impossible for him to put down his pride on his own initiative.

So I felt awkward inside, wanting to join in the fun with everyone, but I couldn't help wanting to save face.

Zheng looked up and saw him come out, but she ignored him and told her daughters-in-law to go to the kitchen to move the vegetables.

The pound of meat was all fried and placed in two bowls to avoid being unable to get it in the middle later. When Cui Yunzhu was reaching out to take the other bowl out.

Zheng saw this and quickly stopped them, "Third wife, don't take this bowl yet, leave it in the cupboard!"

Keep it?

The remaining half bowl of meat is not enough for the whole family!

"Aren't all these people here? Why are they hiding?"

Cui Yunzhu thought she wanted to save some food for Chen Kang, but that was too much...

She looked at Zheng with a strange look in her eyes. When little Zheng saw her third brother's wife like this, she knew that she must have misunderstood.

He quickly stepped forward and whispered something in her ear. Cui Yunzhu then suddenly realized what was going on and felt embarrassed for having wronged Zheng.

"Everyone is here except the boss, let me mention something."

"A lot of things happened in our family this year. Let's let the past be the past. Let's all live a good life in the future. If anyone dares to cause trouble again, I will never let him off easily!"

At the dinner table, Zheng's sharp eyes scanned everyone present, including Chen's father.

He felt uncomfortable when he saw that his wife was so powerful and his son and daughter-in-law listened to her.

Then he thought about how he rolled on the ground in pain that day, and no one from the old family came, so he could only rely on the second and third sons and his own wife. He suddenly understood a lot.

The eldest son is unreliable. He shouldn't have been so partial to him in the first place, hurting the hearts of his other two sons for nothing.

Zheng was now dressed beautifully and sitting at the table, giving a speech, and the children were listening to her lecture.

Why is this?

He really regretted it because everyone believed her!

Looking at Zheng's sharp eyes, he was a little frightened and lowered his eyes, not daring to look her in the eye.

"In the new year, our family will be better and better! Brothers should love each other, and sisters-in-law should live in harmony!"
