Chapter 99 Deliberately Embarrassing
Lin Liangchen's words were light, but in Xu Han's ears, it was not the case. He looked at the old fifth uncle with a bitter face. The latter gave Xu Han the look you deserved, and then he lowered his head to eat in a happy mood.
Xu Han went to see Lin Liangchen. Lin Liangchen was serving vegetables for his son, and he didn't look at it at all. Lin Tianlei glanced at Xu Han, and when he heard Lin Liangchen tell him to eat well, he turned his head away.
Xu Han didn't get a good deal, and the dinner was a little tasteless. Lin Liangchen glanced at Xu Han and said angrily: "If you are hungry in the middle of the night, don't expect me to get up and cook for you."
She was in a bad mood.
However, the old fifth uncle still did not take back the title deed. At the beginning, he kept it for Xu Han. Now that Xu Han is old and married, he should give it to Lin Liangchen. , he also owns several acres of land, so he doesn't care about Xu Han's title deed.
Lin Liangchen's persuasion was useless, and he couldn't refuse again and again, so he simply let Xu Han take it himself, Xu Han forced it to Lin Liangchen, and Lin Liangchen refused to accept it.
Seeing this, the old fifth uncle said: "Since Liangchen is unwilling to take it now, you should take it first. After fifteen, change the name of the title deed, and it is not too late to give it to Liangchen."
Xu Han nodded, completely agreeing with the old fifth uncle's statement, and said to Liang Chen: "Daughter-in-law, I will take it first, and after changing the name of the title deed, I will give it to you."
Lin Liangchen snorted a few times, "As you please."
He ignored Xu Han. In the next few days, Lin Liangchen had a few serious words with Xu Han. He was a newly married Yaner, but now he was having trouble with Lin Liangchen. Xu Han didn't touch Lin for a few days. Good day, can see but can't eat, Xu Han's heart is not to mention how uncomfortable.
I wanted to apologize to Lin Liangchen many times, but every time I was either avoided by Lin Liangchen, or I found an excuse to fool him. Xu Han was helpless, but he had no choice. Who let him be alone for a while, his mind was not good, and he couldn't figure out such an important thing?
Fortunately, this situation didn't last long. On the third day after the incident, Lin Liangchen finally accepted Xu Han's apology. The couple reconciled again. The gloomy days at home were finally over and returned to before the Chinese New Year. Lively atmosphere.
But the good days were not over for a few days. It was Xu Chao's 40th birthday. When Lin Liangchen heard Xu Han say that the eighth day of the first day was Xu Chao's forty birthday, he was shocked and asked in a daze: "Xiang Gong, are you right? Father is only forty years old this year?"
Xu Han frowned,
"That's right. When you took a nap, the third brother came over and told me in person."
"Ah?" Xu Jun came over? Is it going to be big? Lin Liangchen guessed, Xu Han thought deeply, "Well, let's go that day, it seems that there are quite a lot of people invited."
really!
Lin Liangchen guessed right, and then said curiously: "But... how did you practice your father-in-law, you don't remember your father's birthday?"
This is so strange, isn't it?
"I didn't have a good relationship with him since I was a child. Who will remember those, let's talk about it. Dad rarely celebrates his birthday, but now he has his 40th birthday..."
Xu Han said to himself, Lin Liangchen couldn't help but feel a little nervous, wondering if it was Xu Chao who wanted to do that on purpose? Or to make her embarrassed, or to make her retreat?
Either way. Lin Liangchen can only say that Xu Chao's birthday is held at this time, and it's really not good, weird, too weird.
While Xu Han said calmly just now, Lin Liangchen didn't believe it, and looked at him suspiciously several times.
"Then what gifts are we going to give? The things that can be bought in this country are too limited, and the things that can be chosen are also limited." It made Lin Liangchen's reputation even worse.
Lin Liangchen himself is not worried about this reputation issue, but it is difficult for the Xu family to say.
"Let's just send something casually, we don't need to prepare anything." Xu Han said with a stern face, obviously not keen on this matter.
Xu Han's attitude was obviously similar to Lin Liangchen's attitude towards Lin He. Thinking of this, Lin Liangchen laughed, "What are you laughing at?"
"Laughing, we both have the same attitude towards our father." Neither of us are hot or cold, and neither of us likes them taking care of too many things.
Xu Han was silent, "Is it really that bad?"
"What did you say?" Suddenly Lin Liangchen understood, stared at Xu Han and said, "What do you mean?"
Xu Han waved his hand, "Okay, since it's the old man's 40th birthday, pick a good gift."
"Xu Han, don't change the subject. If you didn't make it clear just now, you..." As he was talking, Xu Han stepped forward and kissed Lin Liangchen. Lin Liangchen couldn't say what he was shocked to say. , After reacting, I went to shoot Xu Han.
"what are you doing?"
Xu Han smiled, "Kiss you."
Lin Liangchen was speechless, "Next time, don't kiss me without my permission."
Glancing at Xu Han, he added, "Especially during the day!"
When the words fell, Xu Han kissed Lin Liangchen's cheek again, Lin Liangchen patted it with his backhand, and Xu Han immediately grabbed his hand, "Daughter-in-law, don't get excited."
Lin Liangchen glared, excited that Xu Han himself was okay? She actually said she was excited.
"I'm going to tell you something serious, don't say something useless."
"..."
In the end, the two still hadn't talked about what to give Xu Chao as a gift. Unexpectedly, Lin Liangchen put this question behind him, and planned to wait until his mind was empty before thinking about the question of sending a gift to the door.
In the blink of an eye, on the eighth day of the first lunar month, the family had breakfast, and after dawdling around at home for a while, they went to Xu's house together. Originally, Lin Liangchen planned to go to Xu's house earlier. Busy, but Xu Han said that she didn't need to worry about it, and it was delayed until now.
He arrived at Xu's house with an uneasy heart. As soon as he entered the yard, Lin Liangchen saw that Mrs. Han was standing under the eaves, shouting to the kitchen to let Mrs. Song and Xu Yan prepare for the birthday banquet. After speaking, he went to Lin Liangchen Look over here.
Seeing Xu Han's family, Han's expression changed at first, and then he said expressionlessly, "Are you here?"
The voice was neither cold nor warm, Lin Liangchen felt Han's attitude, the mother and son called Han's successively, and stood quietly beside Xu Han, but Han didn't hear it, and his face was not moved.
Xu Han glanced at Han Shi, who had a bad face, and asked, "Where's Dad?"
"In the house."
Xu Han answered oh well, and led Lin Liangchen's mother and son into the house. Today, Xu Chao's 40th birthday, the fifth uncle didn't come together. When Xu Chao saw Xu Han's family, he asked this question specially.
Xu Han said lightly: "Don't you like the old fifth uncle? What else should I ask him to do?"
Xu Chao's expression immediately became unbearable, and he retorted with a sullen face: "Did I say that I don't like Uncle Fifth? Stop talking nonsense there."
Xu Han hummed, "Yes or no, you don't need to tell me, you know very well."
This conversation made the atmosphere in the room even more weird, and Lin Liangchen sat aside with his son. I don't know if I should interrupt. Mother and son, look at me. I looked at you and couldn't help but worry.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for this topic to end. Xu Han put the gift prepared by Lin Liangchen on the table next to Xu Chao. With a stinky face, he said, "This is a gift for your 40th birthday, please accept it."
Xu Chao glanced at the box Xu Han put on the table, and didn't show much happiness, but at least he didn't fight Xu Han later. Lin Liangchen stayed in the room for a while, and Han came in and asked her to help in the kitchen. Xu Chao said to Lin Liangchen, "Liangchen, there are a lot of guests today, so I will trouble you with the kitchen."
Xu Han was stunned. Glancing at Lin Liangchen, Xu Chao was a little unhappy, but Lin Liangchen smiled and said, "It's okay."
It's just to help, it doesn't bother her.
"Then. Liangchen, I will trouble you."
Not long after Lin Liangchen was happy, he was led to the kitchen. When Mr. Han ordered things, he looked at the unwashed dishes and tableware in front of him. Lin Liangchen finally understood why Xu Chao said those words to trouble her. .
With so many things, it's not a matter of trouble for a while, but the plan to use her as a slave. Just thinking about this problem, Han shi put on a smile, looked at Lin Liangchen kindly and asked, "Why? Is it? Liangchen, are you unable to handle all these things?"
Lin Liangchen twitched the corners of his mouth, "What do you think, Erniang?"
"This? Liangchen, you are a good daughter-in-law in our family. You must be able to handle these things. It's getting late, and these tasks will trouble you. I hope you don't disappoint Liangchen." After speaking, Mrs. Han A sneer crossed the corner of his mouth, twisted his waist, and walked out of the kitchen slowly.
During this process, Han didn't let Lin Liangchen say a word of rebuttal.
Seeing Han's smug look, Lin Liangchen couldn't help but sneer, and wanted to make her, want to see her make a fool of herself, Han's thought was too simple, glanced at the empty kitchen, Lin Liangchen snorted twice, pulled up Sleeves, get to work.
Not long after, Xu Yan and Mrs Song came into the kitchen one after another. Seeing that Lin Liangchen was busy here alone, but a small part of the work had already been done, he even put down the materials in his hand and ran over to help, "Sister-in-law. , why are you alone in the kitchen, mother?"
Xu Yan didn't notice at this time that Lin Liangchen was tricked by Han, and asked innocently.
Song Shi, who entered the room behind Xu Yan, glanced at Lin Liangchen several times with deep meaning upon hearing this.
Ignoring Song's look, Lin Liangchen smiled and said, "Mother? She just went out."
As soon as Xu Yan heard it, she muttered, "Mother is true, I just said that we would work together, and asked us to go to get something, but turned around and came back, but she disappeared."
As soon as she finished muttering, Xu Yan felt that something was wrong, and then she looked at Lin Liangchen's face and saw that she was not unhappy, and the worry that had just arisen disappeared.
Lin Liangchen didn't take Han's little abacus to heart. He mocked a few words in his heart, chatted and laughed with Xu Yan and Song, and spent the morning busy with his work.
Chapter 100
It is said to be Xu's forty-year-old birthday, but it is also the day when the Xu family invites relatives and friends in the New Year.
Xu Yan doesn't know how to cook, Song's craftsmanship is only half-baked, Han's is out to greet guests, Xu Hong wants to bring a baby, and no one is in the kitchen at all, because it was the first month of the month, and the Xu family didn't ask anyone to help, there was no one here. The chef was in charge, but Song Shi and Xu Yan were so worried that they walked around in the kitchen thinking about what to do, and finally saw Lin Liangchen, who was so busy that his hands and feet could not touch the ground.
Song shi ran over excitedly and asked, "Sister-in-law, can I trouble you to cook the lunch today?"
It's still a question, of course Lin Liangchen refused!
Song continued: "Sister-in-law, don't be in a hurry to refuse, it's not like you don't know my level, if the food I made is served on the table, I will definitely be laughed at, and then I will be laughed at. It's small, it will be troublesome if you eat the stomach of the guest, please..."
Lin Liangchen interrupted without thinking, "I refuse this."
Just kidding, this is Xu Chao's birthday banquet. Why would she want her, a daughter-in-law, who is looked down upon by others, to do it? If she agrees, it will be a lot of trouble in the future. It was originally planned by the Han family. what happened. Show off or something. Lin Liangchen didn't want to do it.
"Sister-in-law..."
"Sister-in-law. Can you do it?"
Helpless to be entangled, Lin Liangchen showed a wry smile, "To tell the truth, it's not that I refuse to help the third sibling. It's...I can't do anything about it? I'm not good at cooking or something. The level is better than your third sibling. It's more than that, the third brother and sister, you probably don't know, since my eldest brother and I got married, he's been cooking in several books, and I rarely cook."
In order to get rid of Song's and Xu Yan's entanglement, Lin Liangchen lied shamelessly, and Song heard it. His face was almost wrinkled into a bun, and he muttered to himself, "What should I do then?"
The guests were almost there, but they didn't even start cooking. If Han found out, they would definitely be scolded to death. Seeing the anxiety on Song's face, Lin Liangchen said a few words of embarrassment in his heart, and lowered his head to do the unfinished work in his hands.
Song shi and Xu Yan were talking about what to do, and Han shi happened to come in at this time, seeing Xu Yan and Song shiing around leisurely, and said with a sullen face: "What time is it now, you guys? The two still have time to mess around here, so don't hurry to prepare the food, it will be ready for the table in a while."
The two of them were trained, and they quickly lowered their heads without saying a word. Han shi stared at them for a while, and then said loudly, "Why are you standing still? Why don't you hurry up?"
Song Shi hesitated and refused to answer, and stabbed Xu Yan next to him with his hand. Xu Yan compared it in her heart, and finally told the truth to Han Shi, Han Shi frowned and looked at Lin with sharp eyes. Liang Chen swept over and said sarcastically, "I heard that the eldest daughter-in-law is capable, but I didn't expect it to be useless."
No matter how unpleasant things Mr. Han said, Lin Liangchen didn't say anything. Mrs. Han asked Xu Yan to go out to say hello, and Mrs. Song made the fire. He breathed a sigh of relief, washed the bowl in the basin with water, finished the last thing in his hand, and slipped out of the kitchen while Mr. Han was not paying attention.
Lin Liangchen didn't care about housework or anything, but this morning, he soaked his hands in cold water to wash this and that. After an hour or two, Lin Liangchen couldn't take it anymore, so he didn't go to ask Han to do what she wanted to do. What, out of the kitchen, went directly to the fire in the main hall.
At the other end of the kitchen, Mr. Han finished cooking a dish and turned around to ask for Lin Liangchen's bowl, but when he turned his head to see that Lin Liangchen was no longer there, he gritted his teeth angrily, and cursed angrily, "That dead woman, without me. How dare you go after your orders?"
Mrs Song, who was sitting under the stove, pouted in dissatisfaction. Due to Mrs. Han's majesty, she didn't dare to answer. She silently stood up and gave Han Mrs. bowl. , but said angrily: "You burn me your fire well, walk around, want to scorch the vegetables?"
Song Shi did what Han Shi wanted, but it didn't work out well, so she suddenly said, "Mother, what do you want to do when you think about it this way, and think about it that way?"
"What else do you think I want to do? I think Lin's is upset, so naturally I have to train her well." Han said confidently.
Song Shi was speechless, "Sister-in-law doesn't live with us, at most it's just a meal together for New Years and holidays. What do you need to train?"
"It's not that I don't like what I say, but that you are just like the second sister. What are you doing to trouble your sister-in-law when you have nothing to do? It's not annoying to mess around all day."
Han's chest rose and fell slightly due to Song's words, and the shovel in his hand shook up and down due to Song's words. He glared at Song and said, "What do you know?"
Song Shi originally wanted to refute a few more words, but looking at Han Shi's way, he was afraid that he would really piss her off, so he pouted and glanced at Han Shi, went back to the stove, and continued to set the fire, Han was angry with Song Shi. It took a while for him to come back to his senses, staring at Song for a long time, until there was a burning smell in the pot, Han finally recovered his mind and added the dishes in the pot.
With the previous unhappiness, Han didn't look at Song at a glance, Song buried his head in the fire, and didn't raise his head until Xu Hong came in with the child, and the two broke the rigid atmosphere just now. Xu Hong sensed something was wrong and asked, "Did Lin Shi just say something?"
Han snorted, Song looked up at Xu Hong, shook his head and said no.
"If Mr. Lin didn't say anything, then your faces are so stinky? You wait, I have to go and find out about Mrs. Lin." Xu Hongwen didn't understand, and identified Han and Song. After what was wrong was made by Lin Liangchen, without saying a word, he walked out of the kitchen and went to find Lin Liangchen to settle the account.
Song's other words were not spoken in his throat. Xu Hong has already left. Sighed. Ren Xuhong went, Han sneered, glanced at Song, and looked at Song's eyes. His eyes looked away immediately.
Because he suffered a loss in Lin Liangchen's hands once, Xu Hong understood Lin Liangchen's methods very well. This Lin family was a master who hated him, but at that time, there were so many people today. Xu Hong did not believe that Lin Liangchen dared to act. With so many relatives and friends in the face of her hands. With confidence, Xu Hong took the child directly into the main room, and as soon as she entered, she looked for Lin Liangchen everywhere.
Xu Hong looked around in the main room. Lin Liangchen was not found. When they were downcast, Lin Liangchen and Xu Yan entered the hall together. Seeing Lin Liangchen and Xu Yan together, Xu Hong's face turned black. He walked in front of the two in three steps, looked at Lin Liangchen and asked in a sharp voice, "Lin, did you say something ugly in the kitchen just now?"
"What nasty words?" Lin Liangchen looked puzzled.
"Stop pretending, it must be what you said just now, otherwise my mother and third siblings look so stinky?"
Lin Liangchen felt inexplicable at Xu Hong's inexplicable questioning, "Second sister is afraid of misunderstanding something? I didn't say anything when I came out just now."
"You said no, you must have said something, otherwise..." Xu Hong noticed something was wrong. When he looked back, everyone in the room was looking at her and Lin Liangchen.
With so many people, Lin Liangchen didn't want to quarrel with Xu Hong, and said lightly, "If I say no, then there is no, so what do you say second sister."
As soon as he finished speaking, he passed by Xu Hong directly. Xu Hong just wanted to catch up, and asked Lin Liangchen to make it clear. Before he could take his steps, Xu Yan grabbed his sleeve and the person was directly caught by Xu Yan. He pulled him out, "Second sister, what's the matter with you, there are so many people today, why are you fighting with my sister-in-law again?"
"I don't want to argue with her. She is the one who messed up her mother and three younger siblings." She just wanted to find Lin, and she was just out of breath. If possible, she would take revenge for last year's revenge. Of course, this is Xu Hong's selfishness will naturally not be revealed in front of Xu Yan.
Xu Yan was suspicious, and then said: "Impossible, how could the sister-in-law be provocative."
In fact, Xu Yan wanted to say that if the Han family didn't provoke Lin Liangchen, Lin Liangchen would not provoke the Han family, but Xu Yan couldn't speak when the words came to her lips.
On the other side, just as Lin Liangchen entered inside, Xu Han asked with concern: "What happened?"
Since Lin Liangchen was called away by the Han family, Xu Han felt a little uneasy in his heart, and he was worried that Lin Liangchen and Han would get along.
Lin Liangchen shook his head, "It's nothing, the second sister may have misunderstood."
"Really?" Xu Han was suspicious, "If you have something to do, don't hide it."
Lin Liangchen laughed, "What are you worried about, I can still make people suffer?"
Today, she is so tolerant of her temper, but she just doesn't want to make trouble at Xu Chao's birthday banquet, and she doesn't want Xu Han to lose face. Anyone would think she was the worst woman ever.
Xu Han snorted, it was considered a tacit consent, Lin Liangchen stared, helplessly said: "Don't worry about it, I'm really fine."
After getting the exact answer, Xu Han didn't ask this question, pursed his lips, and said reluctantly, "It's not too bad."
Hearing the voices of Xu Han and his wife in other people's ears, they couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. I didn't expect that Xu Han could speak so softly one day, which was really surprising.
What was even more unexpected was that Lin Liangchen, a woman who was married to Li, had such great ability to put Xu Han on his uniform.
Xu Han doesn't care what others think, in short, in his eyes, Lin Liangchen is the most important person.
