Chapter 220 Come on! Drink this bowl of "chicken soup"!
Qin Huairu returned home in a daze, but the evil mother-in-law Jia Zhang suddenly sat up like a ghost, scaring Qin Huairu so much that she almost screamed.

"Mom, why are you sitting up so suddenly in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

"Humph! If you haven't done anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door!

Qin Huairu, you are so scared, haven't you done anything wrong?"

"Mom, what are you thinking? I just went out to the bathroom!"

"Going to the toilet? Are you kidding the foreigners?
Do you think I will believe it?
I have a ready-made chamber pot at home, but do I need to go outside in such a cold weather? "

"I'm going to the toilet!"

"Huh! What on earth are you doing out here?
I don't want to know!
But if you do anything to let Dongxu and the children down, I, this old woman, will drag you down with me even before I die!"

"Mom! What are you thinking about?

Who would want me like this? "

Seeing her unreasonable mother-in-law Jia Zhang, and thinking of the "chicken soup for the soul" that Su Ning had just forced upon her, Qin Huairu suddenly felt that her life was so miserable, and she began to cry unconsciously out of grievance.

Seeing Qin Huairu crying in grievance, Jia Zhang didn't say anything else. She just snorted and pulled up the quilt to sleep.

Seeing that her mother-in-law Jia Zhang no longer bothered her, Qin Huairu quickly wiped away her tears and fell asleep with red eyes.

Thinking about what happened in Suning’s house just now, I feel that my life is really a tragedy. I am glad that I still have three children to think about.

Qin Huairu soon figured it out. Since life was so hard, why not just keep moving forward? As for what the future would hold? Time would tell.
The next day, Suning woke up refreshed, washed up directly, forgot about last night's "night terror", and went to work at the steel mill in a leisurely manner.

What made Suning feel strange recently was that it seemed as if the neighbors in the courtyard had agreed to remain silent about him, which surprised Suning, who knew their temperaments well.

Suning guessed that all this might be the work of the uncle Yi Zhonghai, because Sha Zhu used to be most afraid of being isolated by his neighbors. Every time the uncle Yi Zhonghai used this "trump card", Sha Zhu would raise his hands and surrender obediently.

It is a pity that Suning is no longer the silly guy he used to be. He has his own set of standards for dealing with people and will never get too entangled with others, let alone care about such "tricks" that are not presentable.

Seeing the behavior of his neighbors in the courtyard, Suning felt happy and at ease, and continued with his work and life without caring about it.

After lunch at the steel mill, Suning became idle. If there was no banquet hosted by the factory leaders in the afternoon, he could go home directly.

Suning sat leisurely on the bench, and Ma Hua immediately brought over the brewed tea and handed it to Suning respectfully. This kind of respect from an apprentice to his master cannot be enjoyed in later generations.

After Su Ning comfortably drank a sip of tea, Ma Hua smiled and explained, "Master, my mother specially invited you to have a meal at my house to thank you for your hard work in teaching me cooking."

Hearing Ma Hua's invitation, Suning looked at his apprentice Ma Hua strangely, then said with a smile, "Ma Hua, I remember you have a lot of brothers and sisters, and your salary is not high! Don't spend money!"

"Go back and tell Auntie that I appreciate her kindness!"

“And if you really want to thank me, learn cooking from me!
When you can go out and stand on your own, I, as your teacher, will also have a lot of pride!"

"Master." Ma Hua was so moved that he was about to cry.

"Go! Go! Get out of here! I hate it when grown men piss!"

"Master, this time is different! My mother wants to introduce you to a girlfriend!"

"Eh? Pretty?"

"Master, I really don't know this!
Whether it is beautiful or not, you can only judge for yourself!"

"Well! In that case! I'll treat my aunt and that girl to a meal!"

"How can this be possible? I originally came here to thank you, Master. How can I let you spend money?"

"Huh? How about this! After we confirm the time, I'll buy the ingredients and go to your house to set up a table. This way, it won't be conspicuous or ostentatious!"

"Master, I think this will work!" Ma Hua thought about it carefully and agreed with Suning's arrangement.

"Ma Hua, you should know that society is too complicated and people's hearts are too sinister! Don't make this matter public!"

"Master, don't worry! I keep my mouth shut!" Ma Hua certainly knew what Suning was afraid of, and he quickly patted his chest and made the assurance.

Fortunately, the security guard of the steel rolling mill came to the cafeteria at this time. After seeing Su Ning, he showed an excited expression and said, "Master He, someone is looking for you outside the door!
She’s a real beauty! She’s really pretty!”

Ma Hua, who was standing by, heard the exaggeration in the security guard's words and immediately wiped away his tears, looking around with his eyes rolling, "Where is it? Where is it? Let me see first!"

"Ma Hua, are you sure you want to take a look first?"

Ma Hua turned around and met Suning's murderous gaze. He shuddered with fear and quickly said with a smile, "Hey, Master, I was just joking!"

"Get out!" Following the security guard to the guard room of the steel rolling mill, Suning discovered that the person looking for him was Ran Qiuye, and then he felt a little confused.

"Teacher Ran, what's wrong with you?"

"Master He, I was too reckless last time!
I came here specifically to apologize to you!"

"Haha, I accept your apology!"

"what?"

"I said I accept your apology! You don't have to take it to heart anymore!"

"Huh? Thank you, Master He, for your magnanimity!
I would like to invite you to my home for a simple meal. I hope you can honor me, Master He!"

"Teacher Ran, it's just a small matter! I don't think it's necessary to eat!"

"Master He, you have to give me a chance to apologize, right?"

"Teacher Ran, why don't you understand?

I have accepted your apology!

You don’t need to say anything more, right?”

"But."

"Alright! Teacher Ran, I appreciate your kindness!
If there's nothing else, I'll go back to work!

There's still a lot of work waiting for me in the cafeteria!"

"Master He" Ran Qiuye looked at Su Ning's back as he left and suddenly became angry. She had never suffered such injustice before.

Whether being called the campus belle on the university campus or being the target of constant blind dates after entering society, I have never been treated coldly like this.

Ran Qiuye, who failed to invite Su Ning to the banquet, suddenly felt rebellious towards Su Ning and unconsciously placed Su Ning in her heart.

Seeing Ran Qiuye coming back again with an angry look, Ran's father and mother guessed that their daughter might have been turned away.

"Qiuye, what's wrong with you?
Could it be that this idiot doesn’t accept your apology?
For a grown man, this is too stingy! "

"Mom! What's the connection?
I'm not angry at all!

He just didn't accept my invitation to have dinner at our house."

"Hey! I thought it was something!

I'm just a cook, there's no way I'd care to eat your meal!"

"Mom, I asked Teacher Yan at school this morning and she said that Sha Zhu's ancestors for three generations were all chefs!
The family-inherited secrets of Tan's cuisine, and Sha Zhu's Sichuan cuisine is even better!

"Huh? Just a cook! How awesome can that be?"

“I don’t know the details!

After all, I haven’t eaten his cooking!

But I heard from Teacher Yan that Sha Zhu often cooks for important leaders at their homes, and when he comes back he's always carrying bags of gifts!"

"Ah? Sha Zhu is so powerful?
In this era, having connections and resources is the most popular thing!
But if he is so capable, how come he is still single at the age of 30?"

"Yeah! I'm also curious about this!
So I specifically asked Teacher Yan, and he said that Sha Zhu lost his mother when he was young, and his father also went to Baoding to live with another woman.

"As a result, Sha Zhu was left to live with his sister in the capital.

There are no elders to supervise him, so no one can control Sha Zhu's bad temper!
Add to that his ambiguous relationship with the neighbor's widow, and no good girl would be willing to marry him!"

"Also! Although Sha Zhu is ugly, his vision is surprisingly high!
They chose top-notch beauties, but how could any of them be interested in him? "

"No wonder! He's neither high nor low!

Oh! Don't say anything!
I'm really interested in this silly guy!

I really want to see how miserable he can get." After hearing her daughter's explanation, Ran's mother showed an expression of understanding.

"Mom, if you're interested!
Find some time and I'll take you to the entrance of their alley to block him!
But you have to be prepared! He looks horrible!"
