After the whole network was blacked out, I made the boss the canary

After getting the confirmation, Shen Qi smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, but was finally led back to her seat by her mother.

The Fu family was really lively today. Chen Shu took a quick look and saw many children looking at her with expectant eyes, obviously wanting red envelopes.

Fu Chaoge took Chen Shu to meet the elders and relatives of the family one by one. Chen Shu respectfully offered tea and greeted them, and also received red envelopes as gifts from many elders.

Among them, Fu Chaoge's second uncle's family was particularly generous. The second mother even gave Chen Shu an antique box and asked her to open it on the spot.

In the box, a pair of emerald green jade bracelets caught the eye, they were worth a fortune.

Chen Shuo initially thought that the gift was too expensive, but after Fu Chaoge's suggestion, he finally accepted it with pleasure.

In general, the relatives of the Fu family and Mr. Fu's friends were very friendly and not as difficult to approach as Chen Shuo had imagined.

However, the only person who made her feel a little distant was perhaps Fu Chaoge's mother.

It was almost noon when Fu's mother slowly appeared. At that time, Chen Shuo was chatting animatedly with Er Niang.

With his previous experience in filming family ethics dramas, Chen Shu is very good at dealing with elders, and the two of them got along very well.

As soon as Mrs. Fu came in, the atmosphere in the living room became noticeably quieter. Then everyone greeted her and the women naturally gathered together to chat.

"Oh, it seems that everyone arrives early. I am the last one. Where is my daughter-in-law?" Mother Fu's voice sounded, and Chen Shu had no choice but to stand up from his chair and walk towards her.

"Mom, now you're here, please sit here." Chen Shuo said respectfully, leading her to a chair nearby.

"Pour me a cup of tea." Mother Fu did not look at Chen Shu directly, but spoke in a commanding tone and sat down on the chair gracefully.

Although tea had been served before, it was not Fu's mother's turn yet. Chen Shu chose to ignore the command in her tone and poured a cup of tea and brought it to her.

"Mom, please have some tea..." Before she could finish her statement, Fu's mother suddenly raised her hand and the teacup was thrown out.

Fortunately, Chen Shu reacted quickly, and her agility acquired from long-term martial arts filming allowed her to catch the cup almost instinctively.

Mother Fu was so shocked by Chen Shu's move that she was stunned for a long while, staring at her.

Chen Shu ignored her strangeness. Since the other party was unwilling to accept the tea, she just put the cup on the table.

As for whether she drinks or not, that’s her business. After all, it’s just a formality.

"Aunt, please come here." At this time, a warm little hand gently placed on Chen Shu's wrist. It was Shen Qi. She tilted her little face up, with curiosity flashing in her eyes.

Chen Shuo turned to look at Fu Chaoge, and when he nodded, he followed Shen Qi out of the living room.

The little girl took her to the garden, and after looking around, they sat on the swing.

"Sister Chen Shu, Sanniang has a bad temper. You should stay away from her in the future." Shen Qi warned seriously, and she looked so adorable.

Chen Shuo was amused by Shen Qi and gently poked her head: "Why are you calling me sister again? You should call me aunt."

"Oh, you are so much younger than your uncle, you are obviously his elder sister!" Shen Qi retorted with a look of insistence.

"Shen Qi, your New Year's money is gone this year." The sudden voice behind them startled the two of them. Chen Shuo turned around suddenly and found that Fu Chaoge had followed him at some point.

Shen Qi stuck out her tongue at Fu Chaoge mischievously, then jumped down from the swing, ran to the side with a laugh, and turned back to make a face at Fu Chaoge, saying playfully, "I have a great aunt now. She will give me lucky money and an autograph! Aunt, don't forget!"

After saying that, she ran away.

Looking at Shen Qi's receding back, Fu Chaoge shook his head gently, with a faint smile on his lips, and then sat down next to Chen Shuo.

He took Chen Shu's hand and checked it carefully. He was relieved to confirm that he was not injured.

"My father passed away so suddenly, and my mother lost her support, so she's naturally in a bad mood and has a worse temper. You only see her a few times a year, so just stay away from her," Fu Chaoge explained gently.

"It's okay, I understand." Chen Shu responded softly.

She knew in her heart that Mother Fu's character was not formed in a day or two. Mr. Fu was such a principled man that he would not easily let his son marry such a woman.

Since they won't be living together often in the future, she can still endure this bit.

However, this idea was quickly shattered at the dinner table.

"Daughter-in-law, the young couple is just married, why are you meddling in their affairs?" At the dinner table, for some reason, Fu's mother proposed to live with Chen Shu and his family. This proposal stunned everyone present.

As a younger generation, even though Chen Shu was extremely reluctant, he could only endure it silently, hoping that the elders could persuade Fu's mother to change her mind.

After all, who can imagine how difficult it would be to live under the same roof with such a critical mother-in-law?

Fortunately, Mr. Fu stepped in in time and sternly stopped Mrs. Fu's proposal, which made Chen Shu feel a little relieved.

But Mother Fu didn't seem to be going to give up. She turned to look at Chen Shu and asked tentatively: "Chen Shu, you don't mind if I live with you guys, right?"

Facing Fu's mother's smug look, Chen Shu simply pulled the corners of his mouth slightly and forced a smile in response.

She actually felt very uncomfortable in her heart and was particularly concerned about this matter, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips and simply did not respond.

After spending some time together, Chen Shu had a rough idea of ​​how the Fu family viewed Fu's mother.

There was always a bit of sympathy and helplessness in their eyes when they looked at Fu's mother-in-law, and they obviously felt that this mother-in-law was quite pitiful.

As for Chen Shuo, he doesn't want to be the first one to stand out and be made a target, but he won't allow himself to be bullied either.

Fu Chaoge had lived outside for so many years, and his mother had never lived with him. Why did she have to move in with him as soon as she got married? She just wanted to make her unhappy!

After going through all the ups and downs before traveling through the book, Chen Shuo no longer had the tolerant character.

She won't take the initiative to bully others, but no one should try to make her unhappy.

When Fu's mother saw that Chen Shu didn't respond for a long time, her anger grew stronger and she glanced at Fu Chaoge with a reproachful look.

"Chao Ge, Mom hasn't taken good care of you for all these years. I'm going to move in with you guys in a few days."

After saying this, Fu's mother glanced at Chen Shuo with a smug look, and the meaning was obvious - I just want to make you unhappy!

Her mind was racing as she thought about her son's home and wondered why she, as a mother, couldn't live there.
