My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 292 Watching a joke

Shen Yuan frowned and rolled her eyes as she listened to Chen's endless sobs.

After so many years, Mrs. Zhou's temperament is still as hard to describe as ever.

Chen is described as old but not wise, and his actions are outrageous.

Just like now, she actually said in front of everyone that Zhou Yingyuan suffered a lot when marrying Qingzhou. She had no parents to support her behind the scenes for so many years, causing her to suffer all the grievances alone in her husband's family...

Look...is this human language?

The Deng family is listening right here, Mrs. Chen, what do you mean by these words?
Are you accusing Deng Yunheng, your son-in-law, of treating your daughter badly?Or are you implying that the Deng family is bullying?

Let’s not mention how comfortable Zhou Ying is living in Qingzhou. Even if she was really wronged and suffered a lot at her husband’s house, Ms. Chen, you shouldn’t say it in front of outsiders, embarrassing the Deng and Zhou family.

She didn't use her brain to offend the Deng family, and it was not Zhou Ying who suffered in the end.

It's a pity that Chen has no brain at all.

Of course, the most outrageous thing about the whole thing is that what Chen is crying about is all nonsense.She did this not to really fight for her daughter's injustice, but to show her motherly love in front of others.

Zhou Ying's face turned livid with anger, and she forced a smile and said: "Mother, today is a happy day for the whole family to congratulate our prime minister on his promotion. My daughter knows that you are crying with joy, but there are so many guests present, so no matter how happy you are, you must not lose your etiquette. , right? My daughter, let me take you down to cleanse your face and make up first, and then come back when you feel calmer."

Turning her head and winking to the side, the two nuns beside Zhou Ying respectfully pushed and half dragged Ms. Chen out. The rest of the Zhou family watched helplessly from below, not daring to let go. A sound.

Naturally, Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Chen felt that Chen's actions were embarrassing, but no matter how absurd the other party acted, they were members of the Zhou family, and they didn't have the face to admit their mistakes.

In addition, they also had a hidden intention, which was to make Chen make trouble and test Zhou Ying's bottom line.

But seeing Zhou Ying who had such a tough attitude and didn't even care about his biological mother's affection, the Zhou family's hearts felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and they suddenly became cold to the core.

Mr. Zhou lowered his head and sighed silently, feeling increasingly powerless in his heart.

He knew that this daughter was completely divorced from her parents' family, but he also knew that the daughter was not to blame for this matter.

If the wife and son hadn't pushed each other too hard over the years, the daughter wouldn't have turned against her family.

When he thought of the shady thoughts that came to Deng's house today, Mr. Zhou immediately buried his head lower.

He was a little ashamed to face his daughter.

Zhou Ying, on the other hand, still looked calm and composed. The rudeness of her parents seemed not to affect her at all. Her heart had already been tempered into steel.

Everyone acted as if nothing had happened, still chatting and laughing, trying their best to resolve the slightly embarrassing atmosphere.Fortunately, Deng Yunheng rushed over in time after hearing the news, and called away the three men of the Zhou family together with Zhou Fang. Only Mrs. Zhou, who was focused on eating fast, chanting Buddha, and ignoring worldly affairs, and Zhou Fang, who was submissive and arrogant, were left at the dinner table. Young lady.

Without Mrs. Chen, the troublemaker, not only Zhou Ying's complexion improved visibly, but the expressions of other female relatives in the room also became much more natural, and even their laughter became much lighter.

Facing her grandmother Wang and sister-in-law Liu, Zhou Ying's attitude was obviously much better.

The gifts given to the two of them were also expensive and decent, so everyone could not help but look high at Zhou Ying.

This shows that she is not really a cold person, but simply has a bad relationship with her biological mother, Chen.

Regarding this point, no one in the hall felt that Zhou Ying had done something wrong. Instead, they all felt sorry for her.

Mrs. Chen would get very angry even when the Buddha came, and would even be angry to death, so it was Zhou Ying's bad luck to have such an unreliable mother.

Not to mention, even Shen Yuan almost felt pity for this third cousin sister-in-law.

The biological mother is different from other relatives. She can break it off at any time. Even if Chen wants to lie on Zhou Ying's body and suck blood for the rest of her life, as a daughter, she can't resist.

What's more, this was the Yong Dynasty that advocated "filial piety as heaven", and Zhou Ying didn't even have the right to say "no".

Once he is accused of being unfilial, not only will Zhou Ying be in trouble, but even Deng Yunheng's official reputation will be implicated.

Regarding the entanglement between Zhou Ying and her mother's family, Shen Yuan vaguely knew some inside information.

She had heard Qin He mention it before that Deng Yunheng had secretly complained to him in private when they were at "Jianmen Pass". Mrs. Chen had written letters or sent people to Qingzhou to ask for money from Zhou Ying many times. The number is not small.

Deng Yunheng was not a stingy person. Someone from his wife's natal family said that the family was in trouble and needed money to help. As a husband, he also helped out several times without hesitation.

But Mr. Chen kept pushing further, and his appetite grew bigger and bigger, which finally made Deng Yunheng dissatisfied.

So he sent people to Beijing to inquire about the situation of the Zhou family's big house, only to find out that most of the money Chen had deceived and abducted from his daughter and son-in-law had been used to pay Zhou Dong's gambling debts.

After learning the truth, not only Deng Yunheng was furious, but Zhou Ying's daughter also felt resentful, so she became ruthless and completely cut off contact with her natal family.

Before returning to Beijing this time, Zhou Ying had actually had no contact with her natal family for two or three years.

This time Deng Yunheng was promoted and returned to Beijing, which was an unexpected blessing. He couldn't avoid his father-in-law's family, so he invited the Zhou family to the banquet.

Mr. Zhou Laohou and Lao Taijun came to visit in person today, and they may not have the intention of bowing their heads and making peace.
