Wang Chunhua felt depressed.

In the past, she was the one who always stood out at parties. She had a son and a daughter, and every relative was envious of her. What's more, there was Jiang Ling, who only cared about working and always cooked a big table of dishes that made people salivate.

But today, the situation was completely reversed. Her daughter-in-law was surrounded by people, chatting and laughing, while she was squatting in the small kitchen, busying herself with work. Even so, Li Hongshan complained that she was slow in cooking.

Wang Chunhua couldn't get angry in front of her relatives, so she could only hurriedly prepare a few dishes and serve them.

Li Hongshan was displeased as soon as he saw it.

There were seven or eight dishes sparsely placed on such a large round table, half of which were cold dishes, and the other half were meat dishes such as semi-finished products such as ham and roast chicken. The Li family was engaged in meat processing, so these hams and roast chickens were ready-made and could be served on the table after just cutting.

But it’s okay to entertain guests at other times, but today all the relatives of the Li family came, including the older generation of grandfathers, uncles, and uncles. How are you going to use this to entertain them?

Even dogs would avoid it.

The gray-haired male elders were politely declining the toast, but when they saw the appetizers, they put down their chopsticks and frowned.

Can this dish be paired with wine?

Li Hongshan suddenly felt ashamed, and pointed at Wang Chunhua's nose and started to curse, "You worked hard all day, and this is all you did?"

Wang Chunhua was embarrassed in public, feeling ashamed and angry. "I worked so hard to make these things, and you only know how to talk. Why don't you help? The uncle is so busy at work and he cooks for his wife at home, but what about you? What did you do?"

Wang Chunhua is also very good at competing, and she sticks her neck out and looks very unconvinced.

Who doesn’t want face?

Why do you scold her in front of so many people?

Li Hongshan probably didn't expect his wife to dare to talk back in front of everyone. He stood up angrily and slammed the table, "You just don't work as well as my daughter-in-law. Is it wrong for me to say a few words to you?"

Everyone looked at Wang Chunhua and then at Jiang Ling.

Looking back on it this way, Jiang Ling was indeed more respectable. In the past, no matter how many relatives came to the Li family, or how tight the time was, Jiang Ling could always prepare a large table of dishes in an orderly manner, including both meat and vegetables, as well as a few hard dishes, which made the gentlemen very happy.

Unlike Wang Chunhua, who cobbled together a few crappy dishes and still has the nerve to complain?

Everyone immediately gave Wang Chunhua a bad review in their hearts and raised Jiang Ling's level.

When Wang Chunhua heard that she was not even as good as her daughter-in-law, she almost threw a tantrum on the spot, saying that it was ok that she was not as good as others, but not as good as Jiang Ling?

It would be better to let her die!

"Okay, Dad, Mom knows she was wrong. You and grandpa and uncles should have a drink first." Li Meiyue took the initiative to come forward to help her mother out.

"Drink, drink. What's the use of drinking without food? Li Meiyue, go to the restaurant opposite and buy some main dishes, including fish and meat." Li Hongshan frowned. It was too late to cook now. Mainly, he didn't believe that Wang Chunhua could cook to the same level as Jiang Ling, so he had to ask someone to buy ready-made ones.

Li Meiyue took a breath of cold air.

Does this mean she should spend money to buy it?

Since she got married, she has only been allowed to take things from her parents' home and never brought anything back to her parents' home. This time she has to spend her own money?

There are also fish and meat. These dishes must cost hundreds of dollars, right?

Li Meiyue's heart was bleeding from the pain.

I shouldn’t have helped me out of this predicament earlier. Now not only did I fail to help, I got myself into trouble.

Bad luck!

Li Meiyu went to buy vegetables reluctantly.

After the food was served, we finally had the wine.

Li Dongyang finally sat down at the table. He started to get drunk again after drinking the wine. He started to talk about his trivial matters in the company. He said that the boss valued him the most, and the clients only wanted to cooperate with him. Without him, the company would fail...

Jiang Ling just listened to him bragging and didn't bother to pay any attention to him.

If he was really as capable as he said, why would he have been unable to make progress after several years?

I've been telling lies for so long that even I start to believe them.

Of course, it’s not just Li Dongyang who believes in him, but also Wang Chunhua.

Wang Chunhua had just lost face in front of everyone, and now she wanted to get back at him. Obviously, this task fell on her precious son.

No matter what Li Dongyang said, she would agree with him with a happy face.

"Yes, his boss likes him the most. Last time he resigned, his boss tried every means to keep him."

"He has a good temper and is handsome, so of course the customers like him the most. Without him, the orders cannot be signed."

"This is a great job, with a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan. We are considered a senior elite here. Oh, by the way..." Wang Chunhua said this, and suddenly her eyes rolled. She called out Jiang Ling's name, "Hey, your brother graduated from college this year, too. Has he found a job?"

Before Jiang Ling could speak, she immediately muttered to herself, "It's hard to find a job nowadays. Our neighbor's daughter couldn't find a job even after graduating from graduate school, let alone an undergraduate. What will your brother do in the future? Will he go home and sell fish with your parents?"

She emphasized the word "selling fish".

Everyone heard the sarcasm coming from her mouth.

In this small city, everyone envies those who have high-profile jobs, and would rather wear a suit and go in and out of high-rise buildings. As for those who stay in the vegetable market to buy vegetables and kill fish, they will only be looked down upon.

Jiang Ling raised her eyebrows.

Although her parents are fishmongers, she never feels inferior because her parents relied on this fish stall to send her and her brother to college, not to mention that her brother now has a perfect job.

Originally she didn't want to mention Jiang Feng's work, but since Wang Chunhua insisted on making trouble, she had no choice but to oblige.

"It's really hard to find a job now. My brother has been looking for a long time. As you know, it's not easy to live in Beijing, especially to find a good job. It's even more difficult, and you have to compete with millions of graduates." Jiang Ling spoke slowly.

Wang Chunhua was delighted when she heard it.

She said that Jiang Ling's family was a fishmonger. Even if her brother went to Beijing to study, what would happen? He still couldn't find a job after graduation, and his salary was not as good as Li Dongyang's local salary of more than 10,000 yuan.

She was smiling triumphantly when she found Li Dongyang kicking her feet under the table. She glared back at him in confusion.

Li Dongyang was so angry that his lips were trembling, but his mother couldn't see the situation clearly.

However, the other relatives felt a little sympathetic when they saw Jiang Ling say this.

"Your brother is still young, there's no rush for a job. Just find someone to work for him."

"That's right. Young people don't work for high salaries. It's good enough if they can just make ends meet and not have to worry about money from their families."

"Yes, even if it's just a takeaway delivery job, I can gain some experience first, and then I'll get better slowly."

"This is the current situation. There are too many college graduates and it's hard to find jobs. Jiang Ling, don't get too anxious."

Jiang Ling smiled slightly.

"I'm not angry because my brother has found a job."

Everyone: Huh?
