Her anger and fall scared Liu Fen and Zhiyuan as well.

Zhiyuan was afraid that she would quarrel with her grandparents, so he looked at her in horror and signaled to her to don't worry and stop talking.

Lin Qingping gave him a look, telling him not to worry about it.

Liu Fen was so scared that she dared not speak anymore, but she looked at Gu Dafu with an aggrieved expression on her face.

Gu Dafu was usually taciturn and his presence was barely noticeable, but now he threw his chopsticks down and asked, "How can you talk to your mother like that?"

Lin Qingping was not afraid of the majesty of the "head of the family". She did not lose her temper, but simply responded with a simple sentence, "Is there anyone who is such a grandmother?"

Gu Dafu was choked by what she said.

"mom……"

Zhiyuan called her softly, and she could already see tears in Zhiyuan's eyes.

"Zhiyuan is our child. Even if I say this in front of Gu Juncheng, he will say so. Zhiyuan is not only the apple of my eye, but also the apple of Gu Juncheng's eye. His name is written in our household registration book. If Gu Juncheng knew what happened today, he would not agree to it." Lin Qingping said bluntly.

She did not avoid Zhiyuan when saying these words, nor did she cover up for the two old people. Zhiyuan was very smart. He knew that covering up would only result in nothing being covered up, and the children would keep all these things in their hearts.

She didn't want him to suffer such injustice!

As long as Gu Juncheng's name is mentioned, the parents-in-law have nothing to say.

Gu Dafu tried to hold it in for a long time but couldn't utter a word.

Grandma Liu Fen burst into tears, "That's not what I meant. There's only so much chicken, isn't it time for you to eat it? Do you want to give you something good? Didn't your father and I not eat a single bite?"

"Mom, there's no need for this! It's not like our family can't afford it!" Lin Qingping remembered what those young people complained about later: You have to endure hardship without any suffering.

"Even if you have money you can't eat like this. Who has meat and fish every day?" Liu Fen muttered with red eyes.

"Mom, I know you are used to being frugal, but why do Gu Juncheng and I work so hard? It is so that our family can live a good life! If you still have to tighten your belts, what is the point of Gu Juncheng and I working hard?" Lin Qingping always remembered that they were Gu Juncheng's parents, so they kept their emotions stable and tried not to escalate the conflict.

After that, she took some of the chicken from the plate and gave some to her father-in-law and mother-in-law. "Dad, Mom, I'm full. From now on, either cook a whole chicken or make a few more meat dishes. In our family, it doesn't make sense to feed just one person."

There was a moment of silence at the table, and no one picked up their chopsticks.

"Hurry up and eat! The chickens will be put back into the coop soon." Lin Qingping stood up.

My mother-in-law now treats those chickens, no matter how big or small, as if they were her life.

At night, Zhiyuan rushed to sleep on the small bed behind the door curtain in the living room.

Liu Fen wanted to switch with him, but Zhiyuan just pulled the quilt and shook his head, "That's perfect. I'll sleep here, and it will be convenient for me to go to the beach with Chen Lei and the others tomorrow."

Everyone knew that this was just an excuse, but it couldn't convince Zhiyuan. Lin Qingping no longer had the strength to hug him.

However, after Lin Qingping lay down, he always felt a little uncomfortable.

Finally, she got up and went to the living room.

Zhiyuan hasn't slept yet. He is reading a book with a flashlight. The faint light shines through the curtain.

"What book are you reading?" Lin Qingping walked to the curtain.

Zhiyuan was startled and turned off the flashlight, "Mom, I didn't..."

Lin Qingping turned on the light, "Can I come in?"

"Mom..." Zhiyuan lifted the curtain, feeling a little embarrassed.

"You, if you want to read, turn on the light. You can't use a flashlight to read in bed. Are you going to use your eyes? Didn't you say you wanted to be an air force officer?" Lin Qingping became alert. "You always use a flashlight when you read in school, don't you?"

Zhiyuan scratched his head.

It seems to be true...

Under Lin Qingping's gaze, Zhiyuan promised, "Mom, I won't watch it anymore. I didn't understand it before."

Lin Qingping nodded, looked at this sensible child, then looked at the curtains and the bed, "Zhiyuan, how about we move the crib to my room?"

"Mom, there's really no need! Look where I sleep, it's so spacious and big! And it's cool!" Zhiyuan said indifferently.

"Zhiyuan, I'm afraid of the dark..."

"Mom, then just leave the door open so I can hear you when you call me!"

"Zhiyuan!" This voice was intimidating.

"Mom!" Zhiyuan whispered, "I know what you think, and because I understand, I don't feel wronged. Really, Mom, I know that in your heart, I am your own son. I know you treat me the best, Mom, I understand."

Lin Qingping suddenly choked up, "Silly son."

Zhiyuan smiled at her, "I'm not stupid, I'm smart, I know best who treats me well." He patted his chest, "I remember it too!"

"Zhiyuan, can I read to you?" Lin Qingping picked up the book he was reading.

"Okay!" Zhiyuan lay down.

What he was actually reading was a composition book. Lin Qingping selected a model essay and read it slowly in a voice neither loud nor soft.

After reading a sample essay, Zhiyuan yawned, "Mom."

"Hmm?" Lin Qingping put the book down.

"I will work hard in the future to give you a better life..." He was a little confused and muttered as if he was talking in a dream.

Lin Qingping smiled slightly and pulled the blanket to cover his stomach.

The next day, Zhiyuan went out early in the morning as expected, and had fun with Chen Lei for the whole morning before coming back.

When he came back, his hands were not empty. He was holding several big coconuts and came in shouting "Mom" all the way.

Lin Qingping took a look and asked, "Where did this coconut come from?"

"Mom, you are amazing. You know everything!" Zhiyuan panted and put the leaves under the porch. "My uncles gave it to me. Mom, how do I eat it?"

"This..." Lin Qingping suddenly had an idea and was craving for coconut chicken. "You can drink the juice after opening it. Open one first, and I'll make you something delicious this afternoon."

They all had dinner early on Sunday because Zhiyuan had to go back to school.

Lin Qingping cooked a coconut chicken dish. The delicious aroma of the chicken soup spread so much that several families next door were asking: Who is cooking what and why does it smell so good?

Lin Qingping also prepared some condiments, using basically all the seasonings available at home. In addition, she also chopped up raw chili peppers to make dipping sauce. It was a pity that without the small green tangerines, the dish lacked a bit of soul.

But this meal is delicious enough, otherwise you will get tired of eating sesame oil fried chicken every day.

Both of her parents-in-law can't eat spicy food, but Zhiyuan can eat a little with her. She cut a big bowl of raw chili powder and ate it all. Even when she drank chicken soup, she overturned the way she drank it in her previous life and added two spoonfuls of chili.

This way of eating made Liu Fen lose her appetite. At night, she lay on the bed and whispered with Gu Dafu to discuss a solution.
