my home is in the northeast

27. Treat your in-laws to dinner

Having a car is fast. It takes less than an hour to pack up and leave the house and drive to the county seat.Zhang Yuhe parked the car in front of a nice-looking restaurant in the county seat, asked his parents to get out of the car, went to park the car again, and entered the restaurant together.

They were delayed going back and forth, and it happened to be meal time at this time, and there were so many people in the restaurant that almost all the seats were full.

"How many are you?" The leading lady came over to greet her.

"Four, is there any room?" Zhang Yuhe looked around.It is very difficult to find a four-man position.

"There are also private rooms, do you think it's okay? A [-]% service charge is required." The leading lady introduced.

"Yes." Zhang Yuhe nodded, and asked the leading lady to take them to the private room.

Many larger restaurants have service charges. Although it is said that arbitrary charges are not allowed now, strictly speaking, such charges are not illegal. Although some restaurants do not explicitly add service charges, the menus in the private rooms and the lobby are different. , The menu in the private room has already included this kind of fee, and it sinks while holding it on your back.

It's rare for their family to come out for a meal, and it's also for celebration, so entering a private room is exactly what Zhang Yuhe wants.In order to avoid the chaos in the hall outside, you can't eat well.

The four of them entered the private room, and the decoration inside was indeed very good, and it was pleasing to the eye.And with the door closed, you can't hear the noise outside, and the quietness makes you feel refreshed.

The waiter brought in tea and filled them up, waiting for their order.

"Father, Mom, you happen to be in the county seat, why don't you call Big Sister and the others over for dinner?"

"Your elder sister's mother-in-law's house must be there, is it suitable?"

"Then call them all over, and I happened to pay back the money owed to Eldest Sister. Our family is getting better, we have to let Eldest Sister know." Zhang Yuhe said with a smile.

Although Zhang Yuhe said so, everyone present knew the meaning behind Zhang Yuhe's words.

They could all guess whether Zhang Yuping had lived a good life in her husband's house during the ten years of her marriage.Especially after owing money to the Wu family.

But Zhang Yuping never said a word when she returned to her mother's house, and every time she reported good news but not bad news.

If Zhang Yuping didn't say anything, they naturally couldn't say anything. They didn't dare to give any hope to her snobbish mother-in-law. They just wanted the economy to be better now, at least not to drag down their daughter.

"Okay, okay, then you can call quickly. Everyone will have dinner in a while."

With the approval of his parents, Zhang Yuhe quickly took out the phone and called, while Zhang Yuwei discussed ordering food next to Sun Cuifang's mother and daughter.

Zhang Yuping is cooking at home. In fact, her mother-in-law cooks the lunch every day, because it is twelve o'clock after she gets off work, and her husband and children are earlier than her. If the mother-in-law doesn't cook, the whole family will starve.

But today, she received a call on the way. Her mother-in-law said that she had to go out and asked her to come back and cook.Zhang Yuping didn't know what was going on, so she quickened her pace.

When I got home, my mother-in-law had already left. Fortunately, I still had a few dishes at home. When I was about to put the stewed rice into the pot, I received a call from my younger brother, telling the family to go quickly.

When Zhang Yuping heard that her younger brother told them to go, she felt a little uneasy. She didn't know if something had happened. Although there was still a smile in her younger brother's voice, the restaurant the younger brother mentioned was very big. Famous, how can the family have so much money to eat in this kind of restaurant?

But the younger brother called and said he was waiting for them, so Zhang Yuping had no choice but to tell her father-in-law and husband, and once the whole family made up their minds, let's go.

Wu Lide drove his father, wife, and children to the destination in a quarter of an hour. After looking around in the hall, he did not see Zhang Yuhe and the others.

"Yuping, make a phone call and ask, is it here?"

"Sir, who are you? I'm sorry we don't have any space now, can you wait by the side?"

"Wait a minute, we are looking for someone..." Wu Lide explained.

"Lide, why are you here?"

"Mom, big sister? Why are you here?" Wu Lide's eyes widened, and he saw his mother and sister Wu Xiaoru sitting in the waiting area in very fashionable dresses, "Didn't you say you have something to do..."

Next to him, Mr. Wu led Xiao Zihao over, and when he saw the mother and daughter, he immediately understood, "You don't cook at home, you just come out to eat? What a big emergency!"

"Hey, I'm not..." The old lady was speechless in embarrassment.

"Dad, that's not the case. Today is Liu Lei inviting a big client to dinner. Didn't I ask my mother to come and help?"

"Liu Lei is doing business, what can your mother do to help?" Mr. Wu snorted and sat on the side, not bothering to look at his wife.

Two days ago, the two started to quarrel, mainly because his wife had trouble finding his daughter-in-law, and he said a few words to her.

Originally, they were all a family, and they lent 2 yuan to their in-laws every day.Not to mention that the daughter-in-law said that she would definitely pay back the money, so what if she didn't pay it back?The money is not too much, and the in-laws are really in trouble. Besides, they know how the in-laws are. As for running on the daughter-in-law every day for a little money?

For so many years, he has seen his daughter-in-law's patience, but he can't say much in front of his daughter-in-law, so he can only persuade his wife behind his back.Unexpectedly, my wife is getting worse now.

Let's take what happened today as an example. I knew I was going to go out, and I didn't buy vegetables or cook, but I waited until it was time for lunch, so I called my daughter-in-law and told her to come back and cook.

Mr. Wu couldn't figure out, where did the gentle and lovely wife who was a husband and godson back then turn into an unreasonable and mean-speaking woman.

The two sides were in a stalemate, and Zhang Yuping had already made a phone call and came back, "Dad, Lide, my parents are waiting in the private room...Mom, eldest sister? It's just right, together." Zhang Yuping didn't know what happened. The sister-in-law was also there, and she thought it was her husband who called them and asked them to rush over.

"..." Mrs. Wu and her daughter Wu Xiaoru looked at each other, and suddenly there was a surge of anger in her heart, "Okay, I'm not at home, you don't even bother to cook, come to a restaurant? Oh, what did I do? What a shame, with such a daughter-in-law, she is not even filial to her son...I can..."

"Mom, I'm not..." Zhang Yuping was dazed and panicked after being scolded, what's going on.

"Mom, that's not the case..." Wu Lide's head also grew big. There are so many people here, it's really embarrassing to see!

"Okay, no need to explain to her." Mr. Wu stood up, "Yuping, where are the in-laws? Let's go there, don't worry about them!"

Two days ago, the two had a quarrel. Today, in the public, the wife came again, which really angered Mr. Wu.

The old man took the lead, and Wu Li pulled his wife and children to follow behind.Although Zhang Yuping wanted to say something, she didn't say it.She also knows that her mother-in-law, the more she persuades her, the more energetic she is. There are so many people in this kind of place, it's better not to make trouble.

Seeing that the old man really left, Mrs. Wu was dumbfounded on the spot.The people next to her were muttering, as if they were laughing at her, and suddenly they blushed and felt unable to hold on.

"Mom, mom, don't be angry. I think my father and Lide have been confused by that vixen. Later we have to find a chance to clean her up, and we can't let her be so proud." Wu Xiaoru saw that Zhang Yuping had a chance Eating in this kind of big restaurant has already made my teeth itch with hatred.This is the first time for her to come to this place. You must know that the price here is very expensive. Even if his man Liu Lei can make money, he is not allowed to spend so much.

In fact, she and Zhang Yuping didn't have any major conflicts, it was just that she wanted to introduce a rich daughter-in-law to her younger brother so that she could get some benefits by the way, but unfortunately it didn't work out.But Wu Xiaoru just didn't like Zhang Yuping, a poor family, a girl from the village, why should she marry into her Wu family.

Especially when she was sowing discord in front of her younger brother and in front of her father, these two men ignored her, which made her feel even more unwilling.Fortunately, her mother was on her side.

Mrs. Wu felt reasonable after hearing her daughter's words. Her daughter-in-law was about to rebel. If she didn't clean up, would she still have a good life in the future?

Liu Lei respectfully led a few people into the restaurant, seeing his wife still sitting in the waiting area, his face changed suddenly, he smiled and explained something and walked over quickly.

"Xiao Ru, why are you still here and let you book a seat?"
