As soon as I was reborn, my fiancé came to propose marriage!

Chen Yan was embarrassed. What did he mean by "he was in the way"? He could grab a handful of cabbage with one hand...

He silently picked up the pork belly, rinsed it, and came back to cut it into pieces on the chopping board.

He has to perform too!

"Third brother's wife, what should I do then?" Little Zheng didn't want to eat for free, so she also asked, hoping that someone could arrange something for her.

Chen Qiqi was her younger sister after all, so it was difficult for her to obey Xiao Zheng's orders. She smiled and said, "We only have two pots at home, so my second sister-in-law and mother can cook together. I'll heat up the pot and start cooking."

"Hey! OK!"

Everyone was busy in the kitchen, each with their own things to do.

It’s the same recipe. Heat oil in a pan, put the remaining half bowl of sugar into the pan and stir-fry until it melts. When bubbles appear, put the chopped pork belly in and start stir-frying.

Coat each piece of pork belly evenly with caramel color, then add hot water to cover the pork belly.

Cui Yunzhu secretly added some star anise, bay leaves and cinnamon, and would find a chance to take them out before serving.

Just after putting the spices in place and before I could even cover the pot, Chen's father walked into the kitchen.

After only one day's absence, he looked like he had gone to the next village to steal chickens late at night. His face looked very ugly and his complexion was not very good.

That’s right, isn’t it? No one has cooked for him these days, so he can only eat a few bites at a time and doesn’t even have the energy to work.

He expected Zheng to be in the kitchen at this time, and thought that no matter how angry she was, she should stop. He had come here on his own initiative, so it was impossible for her to be so cruel as to not even give him a meal.

Before he saw Zheng, he noticed that the third son's wife was about to cover the pot. The pot was full of meat!

He felt very uncomfortable, and instantly felt his anger rising again. He and his eldest brother were eating coarse food, but they were all eating meat!

This pot of meat is so delicious that your mouth will be drooling with oil.

Unfilial thing!

He doesn't even think about his own father.

He instantly forgot what he came here for and put all thoughts of making peace with Zheng behind him.

Father Chen walked to the stove and snorted coldly, "Humph! You spendthrift, is this how you spend our money?"

He glared at Cui Yunzhu with a bad look, and without caring that the meat in the pot was not cooked yet, he was ready to grab a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Bang--!"

The lid of the pot was tightly closed. Cui Yunzhu ignored him and signaled Chen Yan to stay there with her eyes. She went to sit by the stove with Zheng and the others to warm themselves by the fire.

When dealing with someone like Chen's father who is both an elder and a rogue, ignoring him and treating him as air is often the best way. She was too lazy to even give him a look.

Chen Yan's originally soft expression disappeared in an instant. He lifted his clothes and strode forward, blocking Chen's father's way completely, and stood in front of the pot to guard it.

No matter what he said, I wouldn't let him go.

"Chen Yan, get out of here! You guys have been eating and drinking well these past few days, so what's wrong with me eating a piece of meat?"

"Your elder brother and nephew are still hungry. Why don't you serve them a bowl?"

Father Chen no longer even called the third brother, and all he talked about was Chen Yan.

Chen Yan frowned and was about to retort when he suddenly caught a glimpse of Chen Qiqi who had just returned from washing cabbage at the door. She was holding a basin in her arms and was about to walk in.

When he saw Chen's father's back, his steps froze. After hesitating for two seconds, he walked in and went straight towards his wife.

I was so scared that I didn't even put down the basin.

As soon as Chen Qiqi saw Chen's father, she felt a dull pain on her face, along with her own dignity.

"Dad, let's not talk about the meat being uncooked. Even if it is cooked, it was bought by my wife. It's not up to you to decide who should eat it or not."

Chen Yan suppressed his anger and said through gritted teeth.

"Bah, stop talking nonsense to me. If you still think I'm your father, quickly give me a big bowl of meat!"

Father Chen turned his head to Cui Yunzhu and said, "It is natural for a daughter-in-law to respect her father-in-law. How can she not agree?"

"You are afraid of even a woman." Father Chen showed disdain.

Upon hearing this, Zheng clenched the firewood in her hand, held both ends of the firewood with both hands, pressed the middle section with her knees, and twisted it hard. The firewood, which was as thick as her arm, broke with a sound.

Seems extremely harsh.

Mr. Chen's forced toughness began to weaken a bit. To be honest, he was quite afraid of Zheng Cuiying.

"One or two!"

Cui Yunzhu looked up with amusement and shouted impatiently.

"what?"

Father Chen suspected that his ears were wrong? How dare she ask him for money, even one or two taels, why not rob him!

"I'm telling you, Dad, if your ears aren't working well, go see a doctor."

"You dare ask me to pay you for just a piece of meat, and you even want one or two taels of silver? You are crazy! You are really crazy!"

"You also know that this is just a little meat. I thought you didn't know that. A few pounds of meat is still meat. This is not ordinary meat. My husband and I worked hard to carry it back from the town. It is a real wild boar sold by farmers. Even the big families in the county are scrambling to buy it. It's not expensive to charge you one or two pounds. And this white sugar is all fine stuff. You can't just get married and my father-in-law wants me to give you the meat I bought with my own private money, right?"

Her palms were slightly warm from the fire. She secretly patted Chen Qiqi's hands soothingly and started talking nonsense to Chen's father.

It’s good if you don’t read it randomly.

Listening to Mr. Chen's shameless words, she almost rolled her eyes to the sky.

"Dad, I just got married and don't understand this. How about I go to the village tomorrow and ask if daughters-in-law have to use their own private money to be filial to their fathers-in-law in order to avoid being criticized."

"If that's the case, I have to thank you and will definitely go to the village to spread your good name to everyone."

Cui Yunzhu didn't give him a chance and silenced him with a barrage of attacks.

Father Chen saw that no one was helping him and turned to look for Chen Yan: "Third brother."

Wow, now you’re calling me the third brother?

"You just watch them bully your own father like this?"

Wow, why didn’t you talk about yourself when you bullied the third brother the day before yesterday?

"My wife is trying to reason with you."

Chen Yan remained unmoved, and spoke in a way that was both reasonable and helpful to his relatives.

She is his wife by logic and by blood as well.

"Chen Qiqi, what do you think?"

Father Chen suddenly saw his little daughter in the corner and thought she would help him as usual. Girls, after all, still long for their father's love.

If Cui Yunzhu knew his inner thoughts, she would definitely quarrel with him hundreds of times. Your love is like a slap in the face!

The girl who was called gripped the edge of the vegetable bowl tightly with her hands until her fingertips turned white and her body began to tremble. Cui Yunzhu felt so distressed watching her. It seemed that she was really scared that day.

"What the hell, Chen Dashan, get out of here! You don't have any share of today's meal, go get it yourself if you want to eat, don't be disliked here!"

Zheng endured for a long time, and finally couldn't hold it anymore when Chen's father called Chen Qiqi. She threw away the broken firewood in her hand, picked up the broom and hit Chen's father, driving him out.

"How dare you, bitch, lay hands on me."

The cursing voice of Chen's father coming from outside the door really overturned Cui Yunzhu's first impression of him.
