Chapter 1259: Half-Baked

As for the house decoration, both of them have reached a consensus and feel that it is good as it is now, and there is no need to spend so much time and energy on deliberate renovation.

This is their lifestyle, and they don't want to be criticized by others, but the cousin seems to be colorless and criticizes their family as soon as she comes back.

This makes the faces of the parents-in-law very unpleasant.

In any case, at least they have fulfilled their duties as hosts and given them enough face, so the next move of the parents-in-law also surprised the cousin and her son.

Just after the cousin's son spoke a sentence in English, the father-in-law spoke in a particularly serious tone.

"I heard that you studied philosophy abroad. Why don't you tell me about the history of philosophy? I am reading some famous works of foreign philosophers recently, such as Hegel and Freud. Can you tell me about these people in detail? I am willing to listen to your opinions."

The expression on the father-in-law's face was very serious, and his eyes were fixed on the face of the cousin's son, but he saw that the nephew suddenly showed a particularly embarrassed expression on his face.

Although he was studying abroad, he was actually wasting time in class. He didn't understand what the teacher was saying. Because of language problems, he often failed in his career. But my aunt would definitely not talk about these shameful things.

When my father-in-law asked this question, my aunt and her son all showed a particularly shocked expression on their faces. They didn't expect that my father-in-law was so knowledgeable about this kind of thing.

"Well, that, in fact, this topic is long..." My aunt's son looked panicked and tried his best to change the topic, but my father-in-law seemed to have made up his mind to make them look bad to relieve his depression.

"It doesn't matter. Since we meet again, it's a long time since we met. We are very friendly to each other. It doesn't matter if we chat for a while. And I want to see how much you have learned outside in the past few years. Maybe your vision has been particularly broadened and you are not on the same level as us."

My father-in-law's words were very skillful. Although he seemed to be modest, he actually just wanted to mock my aunt's son for being ignorant.

Because everyone can see that the cousin's son is a half-baked person, and he went abroad not to study, but the cousin doted on her son and didn't want him to suffer at all.

Zhou Dong was already laughing in his heart at this time, and he gave his father-in-law a thumbs up in his heart, secretly praising his actions for being really pleasing to the people.

"Hey, it's still the father-in-law who is amazing. These few words have made the mother and son speechless, so that they can no longer find fault with others. It's just right to shut them up, so that they don't have to chatter all day and annoy people."

The father-in-law also knew that the cousin's son couldn't answer at all, so he just sat there quietly, with a smile on his face, and began to drink tea leisurely, not intending to break this awkward atmosphere.

The cousin's son's face was already red at this time. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any people related to philosophy.

Zhou Dong's wife was also laughing secretly on the side, but in order not to offend the cousin's face, she still suppressed her inner emotions.

When the cousin saw that her son couldn't answer this question, she began to get anxious and felt that she was losing face, so she quickly defended him.

"Hey, why are you asking him these questions? He is busy enough at school, and his homework is very heavy. Now he finally lets his brain rest for a while. Do you still want to put pressure on him? This will make the child collapse."

When several people heard what the cousin said, they laughed secretly in their hearts. Everyone now understood that this young man was just uneducated and had no ink in his stomach. He just looked decent on the surface, like a young man from an upper-class family.

The cousin seemed to notice the half-smile on the faces of the family, as if she was suddenly unhappy with the mockery, and like a fighting rooster, she once again raised the feathers on her neck.

"Our children have always separated their studies from their lives. When they are at home, they don't discuss school matters. Of course, they can't miss home at school. Since we are at home, why should we make him think so much?"

Faced with the explanation of the cousin, everyone felt that it was very unreasonable, but because everyone knew it, they didn't say it to her face, for fear of making the atmosphere continue to be awkward.

But finally, the cousin's momentum was suppressed, and the atmosphere in the room finally became a little quieter.

Later, the mother-in-law asked the cousin about their work problems again. In fact, it was just for face, but the cousin suddenly started to make a fuss about this matter, and an extremely proud expression appeared on her face again.

"I think you two have a pretty good life. Your husband should be doing well outside, right?" The mother-in-law is a very kind person, and she speaks very gently, which makes people feel very comfortable.

But at this time, the cousin's face showed an extremely proud expression, as if she was much taller than other people all of a sudden, and she stepped on everyone under her feet, and began to brag.

"Oh, it's nothing. My husband just opened a company overseas. He has dozens of employees and earns tens of millions every month. My son and I don't have to do anything. We just stay at home and wait for money to be spent. He makes so much money that he can't spend it all."

"By the way, I haven't told you yet, my son drives a Maybach. It was my 18th birthday gift for him. He cherishes it very much!"

When they saw that the cousin started to show off her family's money again, several people broke out in cold sweat on their faces, and finally shut up, fearing that she would continue to talk about this topic.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into awkwardness again, and several people were listening to the cousin's nonsense.

Zhou Dong couldn't help thinking that it seemed that this cousin was really a weirdo among weirdos. No matter what the topic was, as long as it came to her mouth, it would definitely be the terminator of the topic.

The mother-in-law also felt very embarrassed and finally focused her attention on the cousin.

"Is your child doing well in his studies abroad? Is he getting along well with the people there?"
