"He's not at home." Mu Qingcheng said quietly.

Cheng Lang's expression was a little embarrassed. "That...... I thought it was my brother at home, and he had prepared ingredients for two people, so let's eat them together. ”

"I'll do it." Mu Qingcheng was embarrassed to let Cheng Lang cook for her.

"Do you know how to cook?" Cheng Lang always thought that she was the same as Xu Youran, and her ten fingers did not touch the spring water.

"Of course, when I was very young, I had to cook for my parents and younger brother, and it still tasted good." Mu Qingcheng hadn't cooked for a long time, and suddenly became interested at this moment, "I'll show you my hands and let you taste the food I made." ”

Cheng Lang smiled, revealing two rows of beautiful white teeth. "Okay, I'll give you a hand."

Mu Qingcheng made a few dishes with the ingredients prepared by Cheng Lang, including fragrant, soft and delicious osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, yellow and crispy, jade white and delicious shrimp fried eel, exquisite and chic, delicious cat ears in soup, etc., which are full of color, flavor and mouthwater.

"Great! Just looking at the appearance, the dishes I make are not as good as yours, don't eat them yet, I want to take pictures. Cheng Lang hurriedly went upstairs to get the camera, and took several photos in a row before he started to move the chopsticks. He praised the deliciousness and praised Mu Qingcheng's craftsmanship.

At this time, the doorbell rang, Cheng Lang went to open the door, and Zhu Manru stood outside the door. It was the first time she had been here since the divorce case went to trial. Hearing that Mu Qingcheng had withdrawn the lawsuit and agreed to move back to live, her anger subsided a little and she decided to come over to explore the truth.

If Zhu Man didn't give Mu Qingcheng a good look, Mu Qingcheng didn't care, he was still polite to her, added a pair of dishes and chopsticks, and invited her to dine together.

"Mom, the dishes on this table are all made by my sister-in-law, it's so delicious, you can taste it." Cheng Lang hurriedly said good things for Mu Qingcheng.

Zhu Manru reluctantly sandwiched a piece of osmanthus glutinous rice lotus, took a bite, and his face softened. She likes to eat sweets, and the osmanthus glutinous rice lotus made by Mu Qingcheng is very appetizing to her.

"It tastes good, I haven't eaten such authentic hometown food for a long time." She sighed heavily, "You kid, I really don't know what to say about you." If there is any problem that can be solved at home, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, if you go to court like this, the face of our family will be lost by you. ”

"It's not that serious." Cheng Yijie walked into the restaurant, "Mom, I'm not telling you, the matter has been settled, so don't mention it again." ”

Mu Qingcheng didn't know if he had eaten, but he still added more dishes and chopsticks to him. He sat down at the dining table, but didn't move his chopsticks, just looked at Zhu Manru.

"No matter how you solve it, it's already full of wind and rain." Zhu Manru also has a big opinion of his son, "If you don't want to make me angry to death, you will atone for your sins and do something to make me happy." ”

Cheng Yijie and Mu Qingcheng both guessed what the "things that make me happy" she were referring to, and they didn't say anything. Only Cheng Lang asked: "How do you atone for your sins?" What to do? ”

"O grandson! I think my grandson is going crazy! Zhu Manru raised her eyebrows at Cheng Yijie and glared, "You unscrupulous, I don't care about your messy things, and I can't control it." But whatever method you use, you must give me a grandchild. If you can conceive naturally, that's the best. If it doesn't work, go for IVF. ”

She turned to Mu Qingcheng and said: "I won't wronged you in vain, if you give birth to a child, I will reward you with 10 million, and if you give birth to two, I will give 20 million." Whether it's a man or a woman, you won't lose a penny, but you must give birth to a son. ”

"What if three or four daughters are born in a row?" Cheng Lang couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to continue to live then?" ”

"Of course, it's okay to have ten." Zhu Manru said easily, "It's not that our family can't afford to support it, and we can't afford to give that money." ”

Mu Qingcheng sneered in his heart, Zhu Manru indulged his son to fool around outside, he didn't care about her feelings at all, he just used her as a tool to give birth to a child. It's not enough, but also to humiliate her with money, not everyone is so open-minded about money! She is already aggrieved enough in their family, can she even lose the most basic human dignity of being a human being? was despised in his mother's family, and he didn't get any respect in his in-law's family, and he couldn't get out of the strange circle of patriarchy, which was extremely pitiful and pathetic. However, she felt that someone like Zhu Manru was rich

People are also quite pathetic, outdated and narrow-minded, and they are so poor that they only have money left.

She sat there, her face pale and weird, her eyes sad and desolate, but she didn't say anything, just silent, wanting to see what kind of reaction Cheng Yijie would make.

"I'm too busy right now to think about having children." Cheng Yijie directly poured cold water on Zhu Manru, "Cheng Lang is so free now, if you want your grandson, you should let him be born." ”

"Who is he looking for?" Zhu Manru lamented, "As soon as I say this, I get angry, I bother and spend money for that impostor, and I pity my son for being so tired and tired to serve her, in the end, I was actually deceived!" His real girlfriend has long been burned to death, how can he have a child! ”

These words poked Cheng Lang's sore spot, his eyes were red, and his voice was blocked: "Mom, don't say it, let it pass in the past." ”

"The girl who likes Cheng Lang is not only Xu Youran." A deep and subtle smile floated on Cheng Yijie's lips, "There is a ready-made one, and the conditions are no worse than Xu Youran in all aspects." ”

When Zhu Manru heard this, his eyes immediately lit up. "Tell me what kind of girl she is."

Cheng Lang was like a person who suddenly woke up from a deep sleep and couldn't adapt to the outside world, his whole eyes were full of confusion. "Who are you talking about?"

"Who else could there be, the one you shot down the maple leaf with a shotgun for her." Cheng Yijie replied.

Cheng Lang set his eyes on Mu Qingcheng, his eyes were no longer confused, but hazy melancholy, these days, he was immersed in the pain of losing leisurely, Yang Xirou's figure seemed to be very blurred, but at this time it was unprecedentedly clear. If the previous escape was because of the existence of "leisurely", then now, there is no obstacle between him and Yang Xirou, he can boldly pursue and start a new relationship.

However, the weight of Youran in his mind is too heavy, after hearing the news of Youran's death in the funeral home, all the grief, all the feelings for Youran that were temporarily closed because of the strangeness and helplessness brought by Xu Qiaoling, all came over like a mountain.

His grief came from it, and it was not until he returned home from the funeral home that the depression in his chest was relieved. At this time, Zhu Manru mentioned Xu Youran and Xu Qiaoling, and he felt that his heart was like a galloping horse, and all kinds of thoughts were surging towards him like a tide and waves. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say.

"My cousin, she ......" Mu Qingcheng felt that she should say something for her infatuated cousin at this time, "The day after meeting you at Youran's house, she packed her luggage and left Xilin." ”

"Left Creek?" Cheng Lang was shocked, "Where did you go?" ”

She went to the mountain village school where you and Youran used to teach, and she said that she wanted to walk the road you had walked and experience the life you had shared through thick and thin, which was an explanation for herself and an end to that hopeless relationship. When she returned, she was reborn and reborn. I asked her when she would be back, and she didn't know herself. Mu Qingcheng sighed lightly, "If you have true feelings for her, go find her." I couldn't contact her, and there was no cell phone signal in the mountains. People can't be resurrected after death, and if you have a spirit in the sky, you must also hope that you can find happiness again, instead of being tormented by the pain of mourning. No one can carry heavy memories to the future, only to let go of the past and look to the future. ”

"Your cousin? It's the one I've seen, who was a bridesmaid for you when you got married, and grabbed a bouquet of flowers for the bride? Zhu Manru probably understood what was going on and was anxious to understand the situation.

Mu Qingcheng said yes, it was her cousin Yang Xirou.

"It's pretty good, it's not worse than the original one, and I feel like my personality should be pretty good." Zhu Manru became excited, "If you like it, chase it, and quickly chase people back." Your brother has disappointed me too much, you have to give me some courage. ”

"If people hear that they have to keep giving birth until they give birth to a son, they will definitely be scared away." Cheng Lang said, "Mom, if you like your son so much, just have another one yourself, anyway, now that the medical conditions are so developed, as long as you have money, you can create any miracle." Don't keep putting pressure on me and my brother, we got married to find a compatible and long-term partner, not a tool to carry on the lineage. Is it interesting that you force us like this all day long, do you really think about your son's happiness? ”

Cheng Lang was righteous, Zhu Manru was choked and speechless for a while, but she was a strong person, where was she willing to be accused by her son, especially in front of Mu Qingcheng. She smiled coldly. "A compatible, long-term partner? Hmph, if it's really a good match, how can it be a divorce and go to court? ”

Cheng Lang secretly regretted that his unintentional words led the finger to his brother and sister-in-law again.

Cheng Yijie's face was as usual, while Mu Qingcheng's face was blank, after marrying into the Cheng family, she seemed to have been tempered to be so happy and angry.

"I repeat that I've been too busy lately to think about having children. As for the rest, I don't care, you are free. Cheng Yijie casually raised his chopsticks, grabbed a chopstick, and sent the shrimp and eel to his mouth.

"This dish is not made by Cheng Lang, the color and taste of the dishes are completely different from the previous ones, the appearance is much more exquisite, and the taste is better." After tasting it carefully, he commented, "Little Orange, your cooking skills have surpassed Chef Cheng Lang, speaking of which, it is the first time for me to have such a mouthful, and I can taste the good dishes you cook." ”
