Chapter 178 Greasy
Zhang Guilan perked up when she talked about this. “If it tastes good, you can eat more. This is made by my sister-in-law. We eat it often.”

“Did your sister-in-law do this?” Qin Juan looked at Lin Chuxia.

Zhang Guilan’s voice was a little loud, and Zhang Wenbin also looked over.

“My sister-in-law has this skill. Qin Yang, you are so lucky. I was just wondering which restaurant has such delicious cooked food. I didn’t expect it was cooked by my family.”

Seeing Lin Chuxia drinking a little champagne, Zhang Wenbin picked up the glass and said, “Come on, my sister-in-law and I will have a drink. My brother-in-law has already finished it. You can drink as you like.”

Qin Yang on the side frowned slightly, and Lin Chuxia also paused for a moment.

As Zhang Wenbin’s brother-in-law was meeting Lin Chuxia for the first time, this behavior was not appropriate.

But he held the wine glass and didn’t seem to feel it was inappropriate. It would be rude of Lin Chuxia not to give him this face.

After a moment, he raised the glass and said, “This is my first time meeting my brother-in-law. It’s the beginning of the new year. Let’s have a drink together.”

With this step, everyone picked up the cup in front of them and took a sip.

Zhang Wenbin really drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and even pointed the bottom of the glass at Lin Chuxia, raising his eyebrows slightly with a smug look on his face.

Lin Chuxia pretended not to see it.

Zhang Guilan had already picked up the soda to buy Qin Juan a new bottle, and Lin Chuxia also picked up the small champagne bottle, filling it up for Zhang Guilan and then for herself.

At this time, Zhang Wenbin spoke again, “I see that my sister-in-law can drink quite well, how about a glass of white wine…”

“Wenbin,” Qin Juan interrupted him, “You’ve drunk too much. Stop talking nonsense. How can my sister-in-law drink white wine?”

“Who’s drunk? I can judge people better than you. She…”

“Brother-in-law, Chuxia doesn’t know how to drink,” Qin Yang interrupted him with a sullen face.

Zhang Wenbin glanced at Qin Yang and then chuckled, “I was just joking with my sister-in-law. Look how scared you are.”

Lin Chuxia finally found the feeling she had when she first saw Zhang Wenbin. At that time, she felt that although this person was well-dressed, there was always something wrong with him.

Now I finally understand that although Zhang Wenbin appears to be very elegant and respectable, he is actually a bit greasy.

Fortunately, the little incident passed and the meal went smoothly.

Under the careful care of Qin’s mother, Qin Juan and Xiao Ningning both ate a lot.

After dinner, everyone chatted for a while and Zhang Wenbin suggested going home.

They came by bus. There are only two buses a day from the city to Ancheng County, and if you are late you will miss the bus.

Qin’s mother also wanted to keep Qin Juan and Ning Ning at home for a few days.

Ningning had become familiar with the Qin family by now. When she heard her grandma say that they would stay here for a few days, she looked at Qin Juan expectantly.

Qin Juan pursed her lips and before she could say anything, Zhang Wenbin said, “They won’t bother my mother-in-law here, and I’m worried about them going back alone.”

“How can living in your own home be a nuisance?” Qin Han corrected him disapprovingly, “Don’t let them go back by themselves. When they have had enough, I will send them back.”

“I won’t bother you, big brother,” Zhang Wenbin said, turning to look at Qin Juan. “Don’t you think so, wife? It’s time for big brother and his family to plant the vegetable seedlings in the spring, right? They are all very busy people, so we shouldn’t interfere with their lives.”

Qin Han wanted to say something, but Qin Juan said, “Mom, brother, I won’t stay here anymore. There are many relatives at home during the Spring Festival, so I’d better go back. I’ll come to see you later.”

Having said that, Mother Qin couldn’t persuade her to stay any longer. “Then come over later and bring Ningning with you.”

“I will, mom.”

“I’ll take them to the station.”

There was a cart at home, and Qin Han went to push the cart.

Only after the few people walked away did Qin’s mother sigh slowly.

“After your eldest sister got married, she seldom stayed at her parents’ home. Now they have moved to the city, and we only see them twice a year.” Zhang Guilan consoled her, “Mom, Juanzi is enjoying a good life with her husband. Look who in our village has Juanzi’s fate. She married a city person and now she has been transferred to the city for work. I heard that the city is much bigger than our county town.”

“What’s the point of being older? I’m so far away from my family. If I get wronged, I won’t even know it.”

“Let’s write letters more often in the future. Besides, it was the old lady of the Zhang family who asked for the marriage. If they dare to let Juanzi suffer, the Qin Han brothers will not forgive Zhang Wenbin…”

Zhang Guilan supported Qin’s mother as they walked back, comforting her.

Lin Chuxia was about to walk back when she saw a familiar figure in the distance.

When Lin Jiadong saw that his second sister saw him, he pushed the bicycle forward.

“Second sister, second brother-in-law!”

“Why are you here?”

“Mom asked me to ask you why you didn’t go back to your parents’ home. It turns out that you are a visitor.”

When he arrived, he saw the Qin family seeing Qin Juan and her husband out.

“Mom, why are you in such a hurry? You asked me to run a trip in such a cold weather.”

The most important thing is that Lin Jiadong felt embarrassed to come to the house empty-handed during the Chinese New Year, even if it was his second sister’s family.

Having said that, Lin Jiadong turned around and left, “Then I’ll go back first. If you want to go back to your parents’ home tomorrow, mom is waiting for you.”

Lin Chuxia didn’t say a word, but the other party had already ridden several hundred meters with his back bent.

Qin Yang put his big hand on her shoulder and said, “I will go back with you tomorrow.”

He also realized that his wife didn’t want to go back to her parents’ home.

As for the so-called relatives of the Lin family, if they didn’t take my daughter-in-law’s reputation into consideration…

In this era, reputation is crucial to a person, especially what a daughter-in-law does.

Businessmen value reputation. A person who is indifferent to family affection will find it difficult to gain the trust of his partners.

If you can’t even maintain the blood-thicker-than-water relationship with your closest relatives, how can others trust you?
As for which side’s reason it is, no one will delve into it. At most, they will say that if you can’t handle your family relationships well, it only shows that your ability is limited.

He understood his daughter-in-law’s situation, but he also didn’t want her to suffer any injustice.

Lin Chuxia could sense Qin Yang’s attitude and nodded.

……………………

The next day, Qin Yang and Lin Chuxia returned to Daqingshan Village.

As soon as I entered the house, Lin’s father and mother came out to greet me.

Especially the enthusiasm on Lin’s mother’s face, which Lin Chuxia had never seen in her life. She thought she had walked into the wrong house.

“Why did you come only today? Your elder sister came yesterday. She wanted you sisters to spend a good day together. She knew you would come today, so she didn’t leave yesterday and was waiting for you in the house.”

Mother Lin held Lin Chuxia’s hand. The warm touch made her feel uncomfortable, so she subconsciously pulled it away.

Mother Lin glanced at her hand, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed across her eyes. Even for a moment, Lin Chuxia saw it.

She sneered in her heart, this was indeed her mother.

Knowing that Lin Jiayi was around, her mother’s actions were not surprising.

“That’s right, don’t you understand what gifts to bring back to your mother’s house during the Spring Festival? Your uncle is also at home, but you didn’t bring him along, and you waited for your brother to come to you. You are so ignorant, and you made your uncle laugh at you.”

Lin’s father also said this, and his tone was far less hypocritical than Lin’s mother’s.
