Chapter 693 Mishearing
The third update has arrived.
----------
Seeing Cai Hongying who was obviously much more brisk when she put away the bowl and walked to the kitchen, Liao Hui sighed secretly. He was sure that his mother really did it for the best for her daughter-in-law, but he still had to ask his uncle to be sure. But, Will your mother be very sad if she finds out?
Zhou Xiangping's feeling was similar to that of Liao Hui. People are not grass and trees. She was sure that Cai Hongying's kindness to her during this period was definitely not an act. However, she had doubts at first. After the third brother's analysis, she became even more sure of this. There was something wrong with the prescription, and if she didn't ask, she would be really unreliable.
However, if the third brother's analysis and her feelings were both wrong, she would force herself to persist, and she would sincerely apologize to her mother-in-law.
Looking at the time, there was still some time before lunch, Zhou Mikang suggested: "Why don't you go upstairs and call to ask now? It's best not to delay this matter."
"Okay." Liao Hui got up and went upstairs, then turned around and told his wife, "If mom asks, just say I'm too hot and go upstairs and take a shower."
Zhou Xiangping waved her hand at him: "Go quickly, don't be wordy, I'm not stupid."
Before Liao Hui came down, Cai Hongying's fish soup was brought out. She didn't see her son, so she asked with confusion: "Where is Xiaohui?" Zhou Xiangping answered according to Liao Hui's instructions. Cai Hongying immediately frowned, "That's it." Can’t bear the heat? My ability to withstand it is too bad. How can I take on the responsibilities of the family like this? No, I must tell him later. He can’t let himself be spoiled like this. He’s going to be a father, so he has to take some responsibility. ."
Zhou Xiangping quickly agreed: "Yes, yes, mom, you want to tell him, you have been working all morning and you don't feel hot, but he can't bear it anymore. How can this be done?"
"I'm used to cooking in the kitchen, so I don't think anything of it. Xiaohui has never cooked before, so he definitely needs to get used to it more."
This is what mothers are like. They can say something bad about their son, but when others do, they must find reasons to excuse their son. This is what Cai Hongying is like now.
"Mom, you've worked hard." Zhou Xiangping didn't know what to say, so she could only praise her mother-in-law.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. As long as you do well, Mom won't feel tired at all. You two will drink the fish soup quickly and I'll prepare lunch." After Cai Hongying finished speaking, she returned to the kitchen.
"By the way, where is your mother Zhang?" Chu Xia asked doubtfully, "Have you not finished your annual vacation yet?"
"Something happened to her family..." Sighing,
Zhou Xiangping's face darkened, "The night before yesterday, her brother went out to drink and drank too much. On the way home, he saw a wire falling off, so he actually picked it up with his hands, and then... he disappeared."
Chu Xia and Zhou Mikang were both speechless, but as they were celebrating the New Year, it was hard for them to say anything when such a funeral happened.
"I heard that her brother went out drinking that day because he was in a bad mood. He said he had a quarrel with her sister-in-law. It seemed that it was about Zhang Jun's marriage. Didn't Zhang Jun take a fancy to your family's Xiaojing before? Then, Grandma Zhou also said agree.
As a result, two years ago, Zhang Jun's mother returned to her parents' home and met the daughter of an old classmate, who is now working in a cultural troupe. The girl had liked Zhang Jun since she was a child. Maybe she heard that Zhang Jun had a girlfriend, so she told her what she thought. Zhang Jun’s mother fell in love with him, and then Zhang Jun’s mother was tempted.
But Zhang Jun and Zhang Jun's father disagreed, saying that there is no such thing as a human being. Zhang Jun's mother felt that Zhang Jun and his father were stubborn, saying that her classmate's husband was a doctor, and marrying a doctor's daughter was much better than marrying a nanny. .
Zhang's mother told my mother-in-law after the incident. She has worked here for so many years, and the Liao family and the Zhou family are in-laws. She guessed that after this incident, it would be difficult for Zhang Jun and Xiaojing to be together. Just tell the truth.
My mother-in-law came to me to discuss what to do about this matter, and I felt that we should see Zhang Jun's reaction first. If he still didn't respond, we should wait until he was fifteen before talking to Xiaojing about it. "
When Zhou Xiangping finished speaking, Chu Xia frowned: "What I want to ask is, what has Zhang's sister-in-law's old classmate's daughter been doing? Zhang Jun has been retired for so many years and has been on blind dates. It's not like she doesn't know why she has to Are you waiting until this time to intervene?"
"Zhang's mother said that girls are thin-skinned and have always been embarrassed to say it. Moreover, she saw that Zhang Jun had such a high vision and was not worried. This time she saw that Zhang Jun was serious about it, so she was scared."
"There is definitely something wrong with her character." Chu Xia wrinkled her nose and snorted, "Isn't this called thin-skinned? If she is not thin-skinned, can she also rob someone who is married?"
"Hey!" Zhou Xiangping sighed, "I've seen that girl before. She's pretty average-looking and very thin. She probably doesn't have confidence, right?"
Chu Xia secretly stroked her forehead. If in future generations, just the word "thin" would make me a lot more confident, okay? But now, most people’s aesthetics still have the characteristics of this era.
"Third sister-in-law, she is not as thin as you are..." Chu Xia's actions made Zhou Xiangping mistakenly think that Chu Xia was suspecting her of insinuating her, so he quickly explained, "She is thin and dry. When she goes on stage without makeup, It’s really ugly.”
"What does she play in the art troupe?" Chu Xia was very curious about the position of an unattractive person in the art troupe, so she asked.
"Reciting, her voice is very nice, and she has a lot of feeling when reciting."
"Do you still need makeup to recite?" Chu Xia asked in confusion. In my impression, those who recited on stage in this era seemed to only apply a few light strokes, which is incomparable with the light makeup of later generations.
Zhou Xiangping nodded: "Well, she does it every time, and she looks pretty good."
"Then I should pay attention to her sometime. What's her name?"
"Let me think about it..." Zhou Xiangping smiled sheepishly, "My memory is a bit bad after pregnancy... By the way, my name is Jiang Xueqin, and she is from the city's art troupe."
Chu Xia nodded, indicating that she remembered.
"Do you want her to leave the art troupe?" Zhou Mikang finally spoke up.
"No..." Chu Xia shook her head, "Although Zhang Ma said so, you can't interfere in the relationship between men and women without fully understanding it.
Moreover, if you interfere in this matter, Xiaojing will probably not be able to get married in this life. Don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous, I'm just discussing things. "
Xiaojing's love for Zhou Mixang was considered an undisclosed secret in the Zhou family, so Chu Xia openly revealed it.
Zhou Xiangping quickly glanced at Zhou Mikang, and answered with a somewhat unnatural smile: "Third sister-in-law, when I mentioned this, I didn't mean for third brother to interfere. I just felt that Xiaojing was the nanny of the Zhou family after all, so she should tell her family. Talk about this."
"You are wronging me again..." Chu Xia glared at her dissatisfied, "You actually think that I am jealous of Xiaojing. Such misunderstanding is really sad."
"No, no..." Zhou Xiangping waved her hands anxiously and looked at Zhou Mixang for help, "Third brother..."
"Who told you to talk nonsense?" Zhou Mikang glared at her and looked at his young wife, "I asked her to leave the art troupe not because of Xiaojing, but because you didn't like it. So whether you want her to leave or not, you don't have to say a word. What does it have to do with me whether Xiaojing will think too much about it or not, and whether she is willing to marry or not?"
"Although I don't like her behavior, I don't think this matter can deny her future. How to do it will be discussed in detail later. However, I like to hear what you just said..." Chu Xia smiled at him, " It’s worthy of praise.”
Zhou Mikang turned his head away unconsciously. How could he talk like this in front of his sister? Hey, it was because he doted on her so much that she became more and more ignorant now! But...he seems to like this kind of ignorance!
Seeing the awkward look of the third brother, Zhou Xiangping wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. She felt extremely envious in her heart. Compared to the third brother, Liao Hui was so ordinary to her!
Just as he was fuming, Liao Hui came down from the stairs, his brows furrowed tightly, and Zhou Xiangping's face also fell. Looking at her husband, the problem seemed to be serious!
After sitting down, Liao Hui sighed and looked at a few people: "It's true that my mother made a mistake. Third brother, please beat me. If I had asked earlier, Xiaosi wouldn't have to suffer for so many days."
"What's wrong?" Zhou Mikang's face suddenly became serious. He actually heard something like this wrong. Why is he so untrustworthy? Didn't he ask specifically?
"My uncle said it was five minutes, and then my mother heard it was five minutes..."
Everyone: "..."
Liao Hui was also speechless about this. What a mentally retarded mistake, but my mother made it!
However, thinking back, he understood somewhat. When he called his uncle, the other party told him five minutes. He naturally thought it was five minutes at first, because his uncle spoke Mandarin with a dialect flavor. , Who does he want to blame?
Seeing that Zhou Mixang's face suddenly turned dark, Zhou Xiangping said quickly: "Third brother, don't be angry. I believe my mother-in-law didn't do it on purpose. I have met my uncle before, and it was indeed hard to hear what he said. "
"You can't hear clearly at other times, but is it okay at this time?" Zhou Mikang frowned, "This is the life of two people, one large and one small. How can she not be able to hear clearly?"
Liao Hui hurriedly said: "Third brother, what you said is true, but I believe that my mother definitely did not do it on purpose. She probably misunderstood because her excited mind was always in a state of excitement. If she knew the mistake she made, , I will definitely not be able to forgive myself for a long time.
Third brother, I am definitely not trying to excuse my mother. Otherwise, if I call her out now and tell her face to face, if you don’t believe me, you can go over and shout with me, okay? "
"Is this interesting?" Zhou Mikang stared at him and stood up quickly, "Hurry to the hospital and check whether the soups you drank during this period have any impact on your body!"
"Yes, yes..." Liao Hui came back to his senses and stood up to help his wife, his face full of guilt. rs
