Chapter 1570 New Year's Eve Dinner (2)
Sun Shan secretly gave Yun Jie a look, and Yun Jie nodded.
Sun Shan pretended to cough.
Then he said, "Xiaoxiao's mother, Heimei's mother, sit down and eat. It's the dead of winter, the food gets cold quickly."
He then said to Madam Su, "Mother, we are a small family, we don't need to be as formal as wealthy families. It's more lively when the whole family sits down to eat."
Sun Bomin chimed in, "Shanzi's mother, how can you let your daughter-in-law pick up the food? Doesn't she have hands to pick it up herself? She can pick up whichever piece she wants to eat, how much more comfortable is that?"
Uncle Sun echoed, "That's right, sister-in-law, I'm not trying to criticize you, but even in Sunjia Village, you didn't serve your mother-in-law like this. Oh dear, don't learn such inhumane rules."
"Our Sun family is a kind and honest family. How could we let our mother-in-law eat while our daughter-in-law stands and serves her? If the villagers knew, they would definitely say we've learned the manners of petty scoundrels, putting on airs and behaving inappropriately."
These words infuriated Su Shi. Why was everyone criticizing her?
Did she ask Yun-jie to stand and serve her? It's obvious that the daughter-in-law volunteered to serve her!
She was simply going with the flow.
Seeing that Madam Su was angry, Yun Jie quickly explained, "Father, Third Uncle, it was my turn to serve Mother her meals. It has nothing to do with Mother."
Sun Bomin and Uncle Sun made it clear that they didn't believe it!
Uncle Sun always spoke his mind: "Sister-in-law, if it wasn't you who asked, who else would ask? What daughter-in-law would be willing to stand there hungry and watch her mother-in-law eat?"
"Oh dear, sister-in-law, you can put on an act in front of outsiders, but why are you being so strict at home? Besides, these aren't exactly good rules. If outsiders see this, they'll think our Sun family likes to be harsh on our daughter-in-law."
Su suddenly stood up, nearly having a heart attack from anger, and pointed at Uncle Sun, saying, "You...you..."
Sun Shan quickly stood up and walked to Su's side.
Holding a cup of water, she said, "Mother, have some water first, to calm your mind."
Madam Su took a sip of water, gripped Sun Shan's hand tightly, and urgently explained, "Shanzi, Mother, it's not..."
Before Su could finish speaking, Sun Shan already knew what she was going to say and nodded repeatedly.
He said gently, "Mother, I understand what you mean. You have always been kind and generous to people, how could you deliberately torment Yun'er?"
You've read too many plays and dramas, and you think that's how wealthy families behave. But now we're an official family, and Mother wants to act according to the rules of the officials.
Mother, this isn't your fault. It's all the opera's fault for misleading you.
Su looked at Sun Shan with her eyes blinking, wanting to say something but unable to speak, and having no way to say anything.
Because Sun Shan's meaning was completely different from his own.
Su originally wanted to put on airs, thinking that it was only natural for her daughter-in-law to serve her. How did she become a misguided lamb after Sun Shan explained it to her?
She wasn't misled at all; she just wanted her daughter-in-law to stand and serve her, and she was especially happy to see her daughter-in-law busy running around.
After years of being a daughter-in-law, she has finally become a mother-in-law. If she doesn't show off her power, wouldn't all the suffering she endured as a daughter-in-law have been for nothing?
Sun Shan continued, "Mother, don't believe what's said in plays anymore. They're all lies. Even in wealthy families, daughters-in-law don't stand and serve their mothers-in-law meals."
If we let our daughter-in-law do these things, what's the point of having nannies and maids? Wouldn't that be a waste of money to support servants? Mother, do as you did in Sun Family Village, and do it the same way from now on.”
Turning around, he said to Yun Jie'er and Li Jinhua, "You two too. Don't imitate the rules randomly. Eat the way you eat in Sunjia Village."
On this joyous day, the whole family should be together, enjoying a lively and festive meal. You two should sit down quickly, lest outsiders mistakenly think the Sun family has a pretentious daughter-in-law.
Sister Yun and Li Jinhua quickly responded and immediately found seats to sit down.
Sun Shan pressed Su Shi down onto the stool again and said softly, "Mother, what would you like to eat? I'll get it for you."
Su couldn't bear to see Sun Shan neglecting his meals to serve her.
She's more suited to serving Sun Shan.
She said repeatedly, "Shanzi, your mother has hands and feet, there's no need for you. Go eat quickly, lest you go hungry. You're the one who works the hardest in the family."
She muttered to herself: "Her family has a whole family to support. If they can't even get enough to eat, it's simply outrageous."
Sun Shan nodded and smiled warmly, "Mother, okay, I'll go eat now."
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then secretly glared at Sister Yun.
Sister Yun awkwardly touched her nose, pretending not to see it.
Today's show was entirely directed and acted by Sister Yun herself.
They say that during holidays and festivals, daughters-in-law should stand and serve their mothers-in-law meals to show their kindness and virtue.
So Yun Jie'er stood up, not at all at Su Shi's request; Su Shi was just going with the flow.
Upon hearing this, Sun Shan exclaimed, "How can this be?"
So she discussed with Sister Yun that they should pretend to serve her, to show their attitude, and to try to gain a reputation for being virtuous.
After that, just continue doing what you were doing.
Sun Shan, seeing that it was about time, called out to Sister Yun to sit down and eat.
Unfortunately, Sun Bomin, an outsider, and his third uncle reacted strongly, placing all the blame on the Su family.
Sun Shan thought that Yun Jie'er was the one who started this whole thing, and he would have to teach her a good lesson when he went downstairs, and also get a gold bracelet for Su Shi as compensation.
It was all because Sister Yun insisted on "standing out" and showing off her virtue and gentleness that she wronged Madam Su.
Yun Jie'er initially planned to stand up and pretend to serve him for a while, so that outsiders would know about her good reputation.
Who knew that Sun Bomin, Uncle Sun, and Madam Su would start arguing, and he couldn't help but feel guilty.
Seeing that the atmosphere was really dull, he gave the chubby girl a wink.
The chubby girl who was about to gnaw on a chicken leg: ...
The round eyes widened in fear as Mother stared intently at the chicken leg.
Yun said softly, "Good girl, you are a filial granddaughter. How can you not give the chicken leg to your grandparents?"
After he finished speaking, he pointed to the feather duster behind him.
Little Fatty: ......
I'm so frustrated I could cry! Why is it so hard to get a chicken leg?
Sister Yun's fierce nature was fully revealed.
The chubby girl jumped up eagerly, holding the large bowl.
She ran over to Sun Bomin and said, "Grandpa, have a chicken leg. This is your granddaughter's gift to you."
The atmosphere instantly warmed up and gradually became lively, sweeping away the previous dullness.
Without saying a word, Little Fatty grabbed the chicken leg and put it into Sun Bomin's bowl.
Then, she eagerly toddled over to Madam Su and said in a sweet, soft voice, "Grandma, have some chicken leg. Xiaoxiao loves Grandma the most and will take good care of her."
Sun Bomin looked at the chicken leg in the bowl and was deeply moved: "Grandpa's good grandson, so filial."
Madam Su looked at the chubby little girl with satisfaction: "Hmm, no wonder she was raised by her grandmother, she knows how to be filial to her grandmother."
Little Fatty: ......
Why am I always the one who gets hurt? Is it so hard to just eat chicken legs in peace and quiet?
Finally, the chicken leg was returned to the little girl's bowl, and she was happy again.
