What disappointed him was that Li Shao seemed not to have heard him. He sat there peeling the orange slowly and then considerately fed it to Zhao Ye's mouth.

Hearing Zhao Qi's words, Zhao Ye's heart couldn't help but tremble. Although her husband knew about his past and said that he didn't care, but now it was brought up again, no man could stand it.

She quickly said, "Let's not talk about the past. Meeting my husband and marrying him is the greatest happiness in my life."

After saying that, he cautiously glanced at Li Shao who was feeding him oranges.

He didn't show any different expression, just smiled and said: "The greatest happiness in my life is meeting you and marrying you."

Seeing this, Zhao's mother tugged at Zhao Qi's sleeve, winked at him, and said, "You're right, this is all fate. Ye'er married my son-in-law, but she married the right person. Who wouldn't be envious of the girls and boys in the village?"

Li Shao's indifference and favoritism towards Zhao Ye made Zhao Qi look like a clown who was stirring up trouble but had no effect.

He said angrily: "You are just pretending. You are really jealous of me because I will soon be a government official."

"In the days ahead, you will wear gold and silver every day, eat delicacies from land and sea, and have servants to serve you, but you can only live in this village and live a rural life for the rest of your life."

Zhao Ye glanced at him helplessly and said, "I can't help it if you insist on thinking this way. I am living a good life now. My husband loves me, and the family business is good. I can spend money as I please. What should I regret? You are joking."

Zhao Qi was further irritated by his calm and composed look.

Li Shao, who was watching from the side, was also annoyed by her whining. He slammed the table and scolded her, "Stop arguing. You are talking nonsense in my house to my husband. Do you think I am dead?!"

"Since you are a little brother, I won't fight you. Now get out of my house. If I see you bullying my husband again, I will make you regret coming into this world."

Li Shao's dark face was really scary, as if he would really kill him if he didn't do as he was told. Zhao Qi swallowed the curse that was about to come out of his mouth.

I could only whisper: "Could it be that you dare to kill someone..."

Mother Zhao quickly grabbed Zhao Qi and said, "Brother Qi, stop talking nonsense here."

"Brother Ye, brother and son-in-law, we are all family. Brother Qi has no bad intentions. He just said the wrong thing. Don't take it to heart. Come home with mother. Your father and others are waiting at home."

After such a commotion, Zhao Ye didn't want to have dinner with Zhao Qi, so he just sat there without saying anything.

Li Shao said, "Mother-in-law, we won't go today. I still have a lot of work to do at the winery. Brother Ye is weak, and he should go back to the house to rest after sitting for so long."

"I bought a lot of things in town today. I'll take some back to eat when I leave."

As he said that, he walked to the side room, took out two packages wrapped in oil paper, and handed them to Zhao's mother.

The moment Zhao's mother opened the oil paper, a fragrant aroma filled her nose. "It smells so good. This snack is so delicately made. And this roast goose smells so good. This must have cost a lot of money."

"If there is work to do in the winery, it must be busy work. Meals can be eaten at any time. When you two are free, you must come to our house for dinner. And brother Ye, your son-in-law is so busy, you have to take good care of him on weekdays." Mother Zhao happily took the Li Shao snacks and roast goose and kept telling Zhao Ye to take good care of her man.

Zhao Ye said yes repeatedly, and Zhao's mother dragged Zhao Qi, who was still sulking, away from the Li family.

Zhao Qi couldn't stand it when she saw Zhao's mother walking out of the Li family's door, still holding the things in her hands and muttering about Li Shao's generosity.

This time, not only did he not see Zhao Ye's ugly expression of envy, jealousy and hatred towards him, but he also lost face in front of him.

He angrily said to Zhao's mother: "Mom, just a pack of dim sum and a roast goose is worth your being so attentive to Zhao Ye."

Zhao's mother didn't like what she heard. She raised her hand and slapped Zhao Qi on the back of his head, scolding him, "You little brother, you have a good life, but you don't know how difficult your mother's family is."

"Your husband has passed the imperial examination, but he didn't even bring anything back when he returned to his parents' home. It's really generous of Mr. Ye to bring these snacks and the roast goose together. It must be worth at least half a tael of silver."

"Mom, please don't be so short-sighted. Zhao Ye's husband is just the boss of a small workshop in the village. Giving you some food is worthy of your praise. My husband is a juren. He will be a high official in the future. He will have to kneel down and kowtow to my husband when he sees him."

"I am short-sighted. I will praise anyone who does me a favor. Whenever you buy me something or give me some money to spend, I will also praise you."

Zhao Qi was so angry that he didn't want to eat. "I really can't understand you. I'm going home. You can just wait for your son-in-law, a peasant boy, to honor you." He turned and walked towards the village entrance.

Mother Zhao hurriedly shouted from behind, "You damn brother, our family has killed a chicken for you and prepared a meal, and you just turned your face away and went home?"

"You guys eat, I can't eat anymore, I'm leaving!" He said this and walked away quickly.

Mother Zhao angrily scolded from behind: "What sin have I committed? You all come at me. You little brother have a bad temper. What did I say? We are all enemies. Eat it if you want."

When I got home, I saw that only Zhao's mother was there. Not only was she not called, but one person was missing.

Father Zhao frowned and said, "Where are the people? Why are you the only one here? What are you holding in your hand?"

Zhao's mother was angry again. "This Qi Ge'er is really a big deal now. I haven't said anything yet, but he's not happy about it. He turned his face away from me, refused to eat, and went straight back to his home..."

"This snack and roast goose were given to me by Ye Ge'er's husband. He said he was busy at the winery at home and couldn't come. I think he didn't want to come back to eat with us."

As he spoke, he opened the oil paper wrapping the dim sum and roast goose, and a fragrant aroma wafted out instantly.

Hu Zi was drooling with greed. Sun Jiao said, "This Ye Ge'er and his husband are so generous. Every time Qi Ge returned to her parents' home in recent years, she came empty-handed!"

"I think that although Qi'er's husband passed the imperial examination, our family may not be able to benefit from it. We can't count on it. We are better off than Ye'er and his wife."

"Okay, stop talking nonsense here."

Father Zhao sighed and continued, "It's normal for Brother Ye to be busy in the wine shop. In the future, you should help Brother Ye cook more. If Brother Qi doesn't eat, we will. Come, Huzi, come with Grandpa to eat meat."

"Great, grandpa, the roast goose smells so delicious." Hu Zi jumped to Zhao's father's side.

Sun Jiao said at this time: "Mom, I also stewed a chicken. Should we serve this chicken too..."

"Is it okay? We've already had roast goose, and we want to eat chicken. It's cold now, and it won't go bad if we leave it in the kitchen for a few days. Put the stewed chicken aside and eat it in two days." Zhao's mother said in a shrill voice.

Sun Jiao also guessed it, and said with a curled lip, "I know, mother."

With this roast goose, the whole family enjoyed it to their heart's content.
