Liu Yamen led his sons to the kitchen. When they entered the door, they saw Huo Yunchao calling Zheng Shaoxuan: "Brother-in-law, grind the salt once and add some water to remove the impurities."

"Brother Yao, the fire is not strong enough, add more dry branches!"

"Hulala-"

Huo Yunchao scooped up a spoonful of water and poured it into the sizzling iron pot. Then he put in the tofu cubes cut into cubes and scratched them with a wooden shovel a few times to prevent the tofu cubes from sticking together.

He turned around and was about to pick up the fish head. He raised his eyes to meet Liu Yamen's complicated eyes and said hello with a smile: "Uncle Liu, Brother Liu, Brother Liu, you are back! Wait a moment, the fish head and tofu soup will be cooked." It’s time to eat.”

Zheng Shaoxuan and Huo Yunyao said hello to Liu Yamen in turn.

When Liu Yamen saw the three of them acting calmly, without any restraint or dissatisfaction, he was quietly relieved. He didn't want these three juniors to misunderstand that his family had no rules and look down on him.

People want face and trees want bark. Liu Yamen is a big man who wants to save face. He just works as a humble boy in the county government, but he doesn't want to be looked down upon by his juniors when he returns home.

Huo Yunchao noticed something was wrong with Liu Yamen's eyes, and then thought of Xu Butcher's evaluation of Liu Yamen, pretending not to know that Liu Yamen was angry and blaming Aunt Liu, and said: "Uncle Liu, I praised Haikou in front of Aunt Liu, saying The food I cook is on par with the food she cooks. It took me a long time to get Aunt Liu to give up the kitchen to me. Brother-in-law, please come and testify for me!"

Zheng Shaoxuan heard the elegant sound of the string and said in his most sincere tone: "Uncle Liu, what Di Huo said is absolutely right. The three of us just want to show off our skills so that Aunt Liu can be convinced."

Liu Yamen hangs around among human beings every day. Where can I see him?

Is Huo Yunchao's secret plan revealed? He said amusedly but helplessly: "I didn't know you three were so competitive."

Huo Yunchao said nonsense seriously: "Uncle Liu, a man can't say no! How difficult is it to cook? Why can't a man do it? He must do it!"

Liu Yamen was so amused by these words that he couldn't even see his eyesight.

The kitchen was filled with laughter.

When the female family members headed by Aunt Liu heard such a loud noise coming from the kitchen, the corners of their mouths turned up unconsciously. There had not been so much cheerful laughter in the house for a long time, and they sounded quite happy.

The small kitchen was occupied by six big men, which made it seem quite cramped. However, no one paid attention to this little detail. They were chatting and working at the same time, and time flew by quickly.

The fish head and tofu soup was freshly cooked. Huo Yunchao couldn't control his mischievous heart. He imitated "Brother Sprinkle Salt" who once became popular all over the Internet. He raised his hand high and sprinkled green onions into the soup. The milky white soup was covered with green onions. The embellishment makes people salivate.

The dishes were placed on the table one after another. Aunt Liu led the women to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and brought out a pot of wine from the storeroom for the elders to drink happily.

The men sat at one table, and the women sat at another table by themselves. The dishes were all exactly the same, except for a bottle of wine missing.

Aunt Liu greeted Xu Ning for dinner enthusiastically. She did not need to take care of two tables of food. She tasted and commented on the delicious meals carefully prepared by Huo Yunchao in a leisurely manner.

Listening to Aunt Liu and others' praise of Huo Yunchao, Xu Ning's mood was as bright as the summer sun, and the food in his mouth felt even more delicious.

Under the leadership of Liu Yamen, all the men present had a bowl of rice to fill their stomachs before they started drinking and guessing.

Halfway through the meal, Butcher Xu led Huo

Tianxiang came to Liu's house as if he were returning to his own home. Da Lala opened the door and came in with a smile: "Are we late? Is there anything to eat?"

Liu Yamen stood up and went to greet him: "Why are you here, kid? Sit down quickly! My dear, we have a guest!"

Aunt Liu came out with the bowls and chopsticks, exchanged a few pleasantries with a smile, and returned to the woman's table to continue chatting with Xu Ning, chatting about the harvest in the field, the progress of the bamboo paper, the uneven top beam and the crooked bottom beam of the Zhou family, and finally about herself. Xu Ying recognized Xu Ying who received the wealth given to her by the Zhou family.

Talking about the fact that Young Master Zhou had brought matchmaker Fang to the Xu family to propose marriage, Aunt Liu angrily pouted on the ground: "The surname Zhou is basically rotten! That Young Master Zhou clearly killed his wife on the street. Evil man! Thanks to Chao'er's prompt warning, otherwise Ning Niang would be the one who fell into the fire pit!"

Xu Ning nodded heavily: "Yes, if my husband hadn't spoken uprightly, both my father and I would have thought that the Zhou family would be a great place to go."

She is an unpopular coffin girl, with the reputation of "bringing others down", and few people are willing to gamble their own futures.

Butcher Xu and his daughter looked down upon families whose conditions were too poor;

People with average conditions would not consider Xu Ning at all if they could find other girls as wives.

With Young Master Zhou's background, any one of them would be an excellent marriage condition. Even if he really "kills his wife's life", there are still people who are willing to be cannon fodder.

The Xu family's father and daughter, who didn't know the truth, didn't think too deeply about it when they heard "killing their wife's life".

Because Xu Ning had a bad reputation as a "coffin boy", Butcher Xu also thought: Maybe Xu Ning could really change Master Zhou's "destiny to suppress his wife".

After Aunt Liu’s face

He said fearfully: "Getting married is a big deal. It is best to investigate all the eighteen generations of the ancestry of the person you are getting married to. Otherwise, wouldn't your own girl be like a sheep falling into a tiger's mouth when you marry her?"

Xu Ning nodded in agreement.

Aunt Liu suddenly asked Xu Ying: "Ning Niang, your cousin who married Young Master Zhou, if she knew that you were the one who sent her husband to the government, wouldn't she go crazy with you?"

Xu Ning shook her head. She could probably foresee Xu Ying's reaction, but she didn't think she was wrong: "Xu Ying will definitely get angry at me, but I didn't do anything wrong. I'm not afraid of her finding trouble."

Xu Ning is really not someone who likes to add insult to injury. Her relationship with Xu Ying's sisters has broken down, and both parties have broken apart. They can no longer be plastic sisters. But deep down in her heart, she still hopes that Xu Ying can live a good life. She has never thought about hoping for it. Xu Ying was trapped in fire and water.

After all, during Xu Ning's most chaotic childhood and girlhood, Xu Ying's company brought her great psychological comfort and let her know that she was not useless.

Aunt Liu knew that Xu Ning was a good girl with a cold face but a warm heart, so she sighed softly: "Ning Niang, I know that you have the ability to protect yourself, but I'm afraid that you are soft-hearted, and you will be blamed by Xu Ying's nonsense. The blame lies with yourself. From what I know about you, when Xu Ying wanted to marry into the Zhou family's big fire pit, you must have tried to persuade her, right?"

Xu Ning nodded: "Yes, I tried to persuade her, but Xu Ying refused to listen to me. Not only did Xu Ying not listen to my advice, she was also very proud that she had cut off my good marriage. I stopped caring about her from that time on. Whatever happens to her, it has nothing to do with me."

She knew she would be misunderstood and suspected by Xu Ying, but she still ran to persuade her.

Speaking of Xu Ying, it's a pity that her sincerity was only met with ridicule and showoff from the other party.

Aunt Liu showed a true expression, patted the back of Xu Ning's hand and said, "I knew you girl would talk too much to persuade others. Good words can't persuade a damn ghost! Ning Niang, I'm telling you that Xu Ying is going to come to your door to scold me again." You, you must not save face for her, treat her the same way she treats you!"

Xu Ning responded with a smile.

She is no longer the little love-starved girl that Xu Ying could manipulate at will. Nowadays, not only is she not short of love, but she can also give love back to her relatives and friends.
