Transmigration: The Little Chef Calls The Shots-Chapter 840 - 112 Unwelcomed in-laws_3

Aunt Chen showed a troubled expression, hesitated for a long while, and then sighed, "Da Ya, I’ve always treated you as my own daughter, so I won’t beat around the bush with you. Your uncle, he’s purely sick with anger. Who angered him, you don’t need to say, you know, right?"

Lin Yuan was silent, of course, knowing it was either Chen Zhu or Wang Qiaoyun’s family.

Perhaps because she saw a relative, the normally taciturn Aunt Chen also opened up and started to complain to her, "Originally, I thought that with your Brother Zhuzi gaining the favor of the County Magistrate, we old folks could also bask in his glory and enjoy some good fortune. Who would have thought that it would not be the case at all? Sigh, the day your Brother Zhuzi fetched us from the Lin family’s hamlet, Wang Qiaoyun started looking down her nose at us. First, she wouldn’t let us sit in the same carriage as them, and later she wouldn’t let us eat at the same table as them."

"I didn’t mind too much, thinking that she came from a rich family and certainly wouldn’t put people like us in her eyes. But your uncle didn’t think that way. He couldn’t stand it, but he didn’t dare to confront Wang Qiaoyun, so he could only scold Zhu Zi. But which son who has taken a wife can be scolded by his parents at will? Your uncle only said a few words, and before Zhu Zi could be unhappy, Wang Qiaoyun was the first to take offense. She said the First Scholar would be scolded away by us! Da Ya, tell me, can the First Scholar really be scolded away by someone? By saying that, isn’t she implying that it’s because of us that Zhu Zi can’t become the First Scholar? As parents, who doesn’t hope for their son to be successful and become the First Scholar? How come when it comes to Wang Qiaoyun’s mouth, we become the people hindering him from becoming the First Scholar?"

Holding Lin Yuan’s hand tightly, Aunt Chen sobbed as Lin Yuan gently reassured her, "No, no, Auntie, don’t overthink it. Brother Zhuzi will definitely become the First Scholar! And even if he does, it will be because of your good upbringing, definitely not Wang Qiaoyun. She has only known Brother Zhuzi for a few days. How can that compare to the mother-son bond of more than ten years?"

Lin Yuan should not have mentioned the mother-son bond, as it made Aunt Chen cry even harder, "Don’t mention that ungrateful son anymore! Oh, I feel so ashamed to tell you all this, girl! You don’t know, but when that wretched boy brought us into the County Magistrate’s mansion, and the County Magistrate and his wife looked down on us and people sneered, he didn’t dare to let out a peep!"

Uncle Chen was blind and couldn’t see the contempt from Wang Hong and his wife, but Aunt Chen, with her eyes wide open, felt the disdain from Lady Wang as soon as she entered the door. Even Wang Hong’s frown was nearly twisted into a knot.

Yet Uncle Chen, blinded by wealth, thought the couple was speaking kindly to him and took it as a sign that they accepted him. Little did he know that the more polite they were, the more distant they wanted to be, wanting nothing to do with Aunt Chen and her husband.

Sure enough, Aunt Chen and her husband didn’t even get to eat a meal in the County Magistrate’s mansion before their son sent them here, and after that, they only visited on the day their son got married. They never saw their son and daughter-in-law again after that.

By now, Old Man Chen had figured out the trickery and, out of anger, was throwing his walking stick and smashing things, even threatening to go to the County Magistrate’s mansion to settle scores. However, being new to the place and not knowing their way around, how could they find their way to the County Magistrate’s mansion?

Luckily, Lv Liu, who was with Wang Qiaoyun, came once a month to bring them some silver taels and food, so the old couple didn’t starve to death.

The more Lin Yuan heard, the angrier she became, and she lost all good will towards Wang Hong’s family. When she first met Wang Qiaoyun, she knew Aunt Chen and her husband wouldn’t be treated well coming to Yecheng, but she didn’t expect their situation to be this bitter.

As she was gently consoling Aunt Chen, suddenly a feeble voice sounded from inside the house, "Old woman, who are you talking to? Is it Zhu Zi? Has Zhu Zi come to take us to enjoy fortune?"

It was Old Man Chen.

Lin Yuan pursed her lips, even at this point, he was still thinking that Chen Zhu would come and take them to enjoy prosperity. Old Chen truly had both blind eyes and a blind heart.

Hearing Old Man Chen’s voice, Aunt Chen glanced awkwardly at Lin Yuan and then shouted into the house, "I’m not talking to anyone! Just lie in there and don’t dream anymore!"
