Chapter 66: Counterattack
"The cook said that the lady gave her such a small amount of money every month, and it would not be enough to buy more."
"Won't you ask them for enough?"
"Young lady, you don't know, Madame is a careful person, she calculates how much she eats at each meal, as long as they are full, it doesn't matter if our subordinates are hungry or not."
"Humph! What is carefully calculated, it is clearly a deduction!" The other said indignantly.
"Be quiet, don't die!"
Zhang Zezhen understood now, this Xu family is beautiful on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are doing bullying things.
"How come I've never heard anyone mention this?" Xu Yue asked the next person.
"Of course you don't know, Childe, you never come to the kitchen, and you don't often eat at home, so you don't know if we eat well."
"I'm going to go and tell my mother to increase the monthly food money so that everyone can be fed."
Zhang Zezhen saw that Xu Yue was too impulsive, so he pulled him down and said, "This little thing can't make a difference, you seem to be saying bad things about them in the past, but you hurt them."
"Don't worry, one day after me at the Xu family, I will never let everyone go hungry, if the money for vegetables is not enough, ask me, I have money!"
"Thank you, young lady!"
"Thank you, young lady!"
"No, no, no! When the dish is ready, hurry up and serve it!"
"Okay, young lady, you can rest, and we'll do the rest."
"This matter can't just be settled, what if we are not in the Xu family? Shall they not go hungry in the same way?"
Unexpectedly, Xu Yue was indifferent on the surface, but he was like a child in his heart, Zhang Zezhen persuaded him: "Don't worry, there will be a way to solve it."
"What's the solution?"
Zhang Zezhen didn't reply, but asked the person who was serving the meal, "What does Xuchang like to eat the most?"
"You mean little master? He's a big fan of fish."
"That's right, every time he cooks a fish, he eats half of it himself."
Xu Yue also remembered and said to her, "That's right, I can prove this, and the remaining half is eaten by me and my mother, as well as Xu Mingyuan."
"Can you eat enough?"
"None of us love fish except for him, so it doesn't matter if we eat it or not."
That's it! Zhang Zezhen thought for a while and said, "This fish is divided into two halves, the head part of the fish is served, and the body part of the fish is kept for you to eat." c
"Huh? Young lady, what are you doing here?"
"Don't worry about this, your job is to eat the rest of the fish, and it must be you! Did you hear that?"
The subordinates looked at each other and nodded a little embarrassedly.
"Also, give me the head of the fish, and I'll serve it to them myself."
"Zhenzhen, what are you doing here?"
"Don't be nervous, it's inconvenient for you to come forward, I'll educate and educate Xuchang for your father's mother, or it will be a big mistake if you get used to it in the future."
"Huh?"
"Okay, give me the fish head, you hurry to the table and wait for it, go and ask them to eat!"
Zhang Zezhen arranged the task, everyone went to work according to the instructions, and Xu Yue also went to the dining room in advance.
"Dad, mother, I smell fish, is there any fish to eat today?"
"Yes, today my mother specially instructed them to buy you a big fish, which is definitely enough for you to eat." Xu Zhao also loves this son very much, and basically responds to requests.
Seeing that one dish after another was served, Xu Chang didn't see any fish, so he yelled unhappily with unhappiness written on his face, "What about Young Master Ben's fish? Bring it to me!"
"What's the noise? Yours are indispensable!" As soon as Xu Mingyuan entered the house, he heard his son making noise, and his mood became even more unhappy.
Xu Chang didn't dare to contradict his father, so he could only sulk on the side with his mouth pouted.
"The fish are coming!" Zhang Zezhen walked over with a fish with only a fish head.
Hearing these three words, Xu Chang was about to jump up happily and open
The heart said, "It's finally here!" When he picked up the chopsticks and was about to pick up the vegetables, he saw that there were only fish heads on the plate.
yelled at Zhang Zezhen: "You fat woman! Did you eat my fish in advance?"
"Presumptuous! She's your sister-in-law, how dare you talk to her like that?"
"How can you speak? You're not the Xu family!"
"Shut up!" Xu Mingyuan immediately stopped the quarrel.
"Daddy, look at her! They have eaten my fish." Saying that, Xu Chang's tears couldn't stop staying, and when Xu Zhao saw this, he hurriedly stepped forward to appease.
"What's going on?" Xu Mingyuan questioned Zhang Zezhen.
"Fish? I heard that Xuchang loves fish the most, I made it on purpose, try it!"
"I'm asking, why does this fish only have its head and the rest of it?"
"I ate it! I have always loved fish since I was a child, so in order to taste whether the fish is good or not, I deliberately ate other parts and left a fish head with the highest nutritional value for Xuchang."
"Fat woman, you just sincerely don't let me eat it!" Xu Chang shouted loudly.
"Didn't you shut up?" Xu Mingyuan glared at his son fiercely. He continued, "How can you eat that big fish alone?"
"Doesn't it look like it to my size?"
"Not only did she eat it, but I also ate more than half of it." Of course, Xu Yue couldn't let Zhenzhen carry everything alone, so he said confidently.
"Yue'er, you've never eaten much fish, is it because of her influence?"
"Mother, I don't like to eat fish, because you have left the best to Xuchang, and now that I have married a wife, I naturally have to gain a firm foothold in the Xu family, I also have good things, and my wife must have them!"
Zhang Zezhen listened to Xu Yue's words, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, that's it!"
"Mother, they all bullied me! Woo woo woo ...... "
Seeing Xu Chang crying, Xu Zhao hurriedly relieved and said, "Chang'er doesn't cry, wait for tomorrow my mother to buy another one for you, and I'll give you one to eat!" Okay, okay?"
"Not good! I'm going to eat fish today!"
"How old are they?" It's so unreasonable, hurry up and eat, a fish makes the chickens and dogs restless! It's not going to work!"
Xu Mingyuan took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and prepared to eat the vegetables, but he always felt that something was wrong, and he didn't know where it was.
"Today's dish is good, Zhenzhen deserves to be the chef of Jinyu Building!"
"Daddy has won awards, if you love to eat, you can eat more! I made this dish especially for you!" Zhang Zezhen took the initiative to pick up vegetables for Xu Mingyuan, which caused Xu Zhao's dissatisfaction.
"This year, it's really a weasel greeting the chicken."
"Who do you say is the weasel and who is the chicken?" Xu Mingyuan glared at Xu Zhao, and his expression immediately became serious.
"No...... Nope."
Eating and eating, Xu Mingyuan finally found out what was wrong.
"Why are there so few dishes today?"
"That's right, I didn't eat a few bites of today's food and it was low, what's the situation?" Xu Zhao shifted his gaze to Zhang Zezhen.
"It has nothing to do with me! I cook as many dishes as they buy, and I don't miss a single one!"
"Go and call the little four!"
"Come, ma'am, what are you looking for me?"
"Did all the money I gave you today go to buy groceries?"
"Madam, I bought them all according to your orders! And the money is not enough, so the young lady is still on the back."
"Then why is there so little food on the dinner table? Did you guys eat it?"
"No, ma'am, the little ones don't dare!"
"Mother, it has nothing to do with them, I made today's dishes, and I will naturally distribute the dishes."
"You? Didn't they tell you what the amount of food was distributed between the master and his subordinates?"
"Little four, right? You go down first!"
Xiao Si glanced at the young lady, then at the others, but still didn't dare to move.
"Let you go down and hurry
Why do you stay there?" Xu Yue pushed the boat down the river and quickly blasted him away.
"Yes! Young master and young lady, you use it slowly."
"I'm asking you!" Xu Zhao reminded Zhang Zezhen again.
"Mother, that's the case, they did tell me, but I think it's really unreasonable to do this, so I made an assertion and adjusted it."
"How old are you? Dare to break the Xu family's rules?"
"I'm the young lady of the Xu family, I don't believe you asked Dad, right, Dad?"
Xu Mingyuan nodded, "Zhenzhen, you may have just come here and don't know much about the situation at home, so it's not your fault!" The Xu family has always been like this. The people can't eat much, so they still have to be the head of the house."
"That's my mistake! After all, I was born in the countryside, I don't know the standards of your big family, and my family has no subordinates, everyone eats according to their work, men eat more, women eat less, and children are good in moderation."
"That's your inferior family, we are scholarly families, how can we follow your standards?"
"Mother is right, I really can't, but I think, if you are a human being, aren't others human? If your son is a child, is someone else's child a brute?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm just saying, you have to be a human being, and your subordinates are also human beings, why do they have to go hungry when we can eat enough, your son wants to eat fish, why should others only stare at the fish bones? Isn't that reasonable?"
"Say! It's all your conspiracy, isn't it?"
"Mother, look at you, I am the daughter-in-law of the Xu family, how can I harm you? I'm helping you take care of the villain. Otherwise, feng shui will take turns, and you may need them to take care of it on any given day?"
"A bunch of fallacies, Xu Yue, why don't you care about your daughter-in-law?"
"Mother, I think what Zhenzhen said makes a lot of sense."
"That's it! A meal, I will give you more money tomorrow, and let Zhenzhen cook a little more."
"Old ......"
"Eat!"
Zhang Zezhen made a grimace at Xu Zhao to celebrate the victory, but Xu Zhao was so angry that his face was crooked, and he had no intention of eating at all.
"Zhenzhen, I heard that you once made a delicious dish, which is said to be a secret recipe, is this true or false?"
Zhang Zezhen was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Xu Mingyuan to know that she had a secret recipe.
"Dad, how do you know? I wish I hadn't told anyone!"
"I'm also hearsay, I've heard that someone ordered this dish, and it tasted very good, I don't know, will I be lucky enough to taste it tomorrow?"
Zhang Zezhen thought for a while and said, "Dad, I am not skilled in this dish, and the ingredients are very complicated to buy, if you make it, it will take a long time, and it may not be successful."
"It's okay, I have time to taste it, tomorrow, I'll give you some more money to buy ingredients, even if it's a little late, I'll taste it, what do you think, Zhenzhen?"
"Since you've said so, I'll give it a try."
Zhang Zezhen heard it, this is soliciting opinions, and it is clearly a request.
"Daddy, I'm going to eat fish tomorrow! I don't want to eat anything else!" Xu Chang only thinks about fish.
When Xu Mingyuan heard this, he sternly said to his son, "I'll tell you again, I am in charge of this family, you can eat it, you can eat it, don't eat it!" Don't let me hear the word fish again, do you hear that?"
