Chapter 68
After watching Cheng Yingmei leave the village safely, Cheng Yao also embarked on her return journey.

By the time she returned to Lingxi Village, it was getting late.

The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the flowers and plants on both sides of the road a faint golden color, smoke curled up from the kitchens of every house, and the aroma of food floated on the tip of Cheng Yao's nose.

Her stomach also made a grumbling sound of hunger at the right time. Cheng Yao rubbed her belly and realized that she hadn't eaten anything all day since she ate a few pieces of chicken in the morning.

How about going to Liu Cui's place to have a look?Today is her birthday, so she will definitely have something good to eat.

Anyway, this invisible prop has not expired yet, so it’s just right to have a meal, save money and redeem it with points.

After making up her mind, Cheng Yao immediately walked towards the Cheng family.

Although something like that happened during the day, she felt that given the personalities of the Cheng family, they would never be delayed because of Cheng Yingmei.

Sure enough, as soon as Cheng Yao stood in front of her home, she saw a table of people already sitting neatly inside.

Liu Cui sat on the main seat, and then they spread out around her in order of age.

In order to celebrate Liu Cui's birthday, her youngest son also rushed back from a neighboring town.

He looked particularly different among this group of people. His skin, which had not been exposed to the wind and sun from labor, was even more delicate than that of women.

She is wearing the most fashionable clothes of the season, and her hair accessories are also very particular.

The most important thing is that spiritual energy. It is obvious that he has been pampered for a long time and has never been worried about worldly things.

There is an uneven wrinkle between Cheng Guang and Cheng Zong's eyebrows, which is proof of the sorrow of life.

Cheng Yaozu's brows are as smooth as ever. It is no exaggeration to say that he even looks similar to Cheng Xuebo. It doesn't feel like there is any difference in seniority between them at all.

Cheng Yaozu is Liu Cui's most beloved son and the most handsome among the three brothers.

It's just a pity that Kong has good looks, and because he was pampered since he was a child, he can't suffer much.

At that time, he was attracted by Miss Qiu from Buzhuang, a neighboring town, because of his appearance. She only had an only daughter and no other sons in her family, so Mr. Qiu asked Cheng Yaozu to be his son-in-law.

Liu Cui didn't agree with this at first, after all, it was not good news to spread.

No man wants to be humble and subordinate to a woman.

But compared with the days of wealth and wealth, Cheng Yaozu felt that fame and dignity seemed insignificant.

After a few blows, Liu Cui's heart softened and she agreed to the matter.

But what the Qiu family wanted was Cheng Yaozu alone, and they didn't want to have much contact with the poor Cheng family.

The son-in-law who comes to the house is the same as the married daughter. He should not go back to his parents' house when there is nothing to do, otherwise he will make his wife unhappy.

Therefore, since Cheng Yaozu came to visit, he rarely came back, but Liu Cui was thinking hard.

As soon as Cheng Yaozu entered the door, he held hands and looked again and again. After saying a lot of personal words, he sat down at the reminder of everyone.

Cheng Yao also quietly slipped into the yard while no one was paying attention.

While wandering around the table picking up food, I listened to their chat.

Liu Cui put a big chicken drumstick in Cheng Yaozu's bowl, but Cheng Fei next to him was greedy.

This uncle is usually not at home much, but when he comes back, he will take away all the love from grandma.

He usually ate the big chicken drumsticks, but now he could only watch helplessly.

Zhang Yufen noticed her son's direct gaze. In order to avoid being embarrassed, she had to quickly clip a wing and stuff it into Cheng Fei's mouth.

He also deliberately lowered his head and whispered something in Cheng Fei's ear. "Eat your own food and don't look around!"

Cheng Fei pursed his lips, feeling a little unhappy, but he didn't dare to get angry, so he could only let off steam by chewing on the chicken wings.

"Come on, Yaozu, try this fish again."

"It's so fresh to catch and kill them now."

Cheng Yaozu was used to eating these dishes on weekdays and didn't think there was anything special about them.

But at least it was my mother's kindness, so she accepted it with a smile.

Before she was happy for a long time, Liu Cui couldn't help but sigh.

"You said the same goes for your wife. No matter how rich her family is, I am still her mother-in-law. She doesn't even come back with you to see me. She doesn't even bother to pretend on the surface, let alone what she thinks about our family behind the scenes. That’s it.”

"Since you left home, it's rare to see her once a year, let alone her. Except for the one time I saw her when you two got married, until now, I haven't been able to see her a second time. I don't care. I remember what my daughter-in-law looks like.”

"If you hadn't been willing to go, I would have really been reluctant to leave. I gave birth to several sons just to wait for them to grow old and live a lively and comfortable life for a few days."

"Hey, who would have thought that we can meet once a year like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl in the sky!"

Liu Cui had a lot of complaints about Qiu Wanying, the eldest daughter of the Qiu family, but her family had a great business, so Liu Cui didn't dare to say it in person, and she didn't have much chance to say it in person.

He could only complain in front of his son, trying to find some dignity from his elders.

Cheng Yao couldn't help but roll her eyes. She just ate soft rice honestly. Why did she still think that she couldn't forcefully eat soft food?

Isn’t it what they say every day? How come the water thrown out by a married daughter changes when it comes to a son?

Cheng Yaozu volunteered to be the son-in-law, so he would have to stay in the Qiu family and serve the Qiu family's parents like any other daughter-in-law.

The same set of practices has been used by women for thousands of years, but men cannot stand it.

I'm afraid they also know deep down in their hearts that this kind of marriage, which is no different from business, is very ugly.

Cheng Yaozu usually pretends to be very good in front of Qiu Wanying, as if he is just a gentle and virtuous husband.

In fact, Cheng Yaozu had been interested in the Qiu family since the first day he came to visit.

It's just that there are so many people talking now, it's not a good time to talk about this.

Cheng Yaozu also took a chopstick and put it into Liu Cui's bowl, comforting him.

"Mom, today is a good day for you, don't worry about so many things."

"If you have any questions, my son will chat with you later. Let's eat first."

"Looking at such a big table of food, the two sisters-in-law must be very busy. It would be a pity not to eat it while it's hot."

Since Cheng Yaozu said so, it would be hard for others to refute his face.

They all stretched out their chopsticks to taste the delicious food, and Cheng Yao also took the opportunity to have a full meal.

After eating something, Cheng Yaozu began to ask about the situation at home today.

"Eldest sister didn't come back to celebrate my mother's birthday this year? That shouldn't be the case. In previous years, she came very actively."

After Cheng Yaozu finished speaking, the already lively place suddenly became awkward.
