This person is clearly a male protagonist in a female-oriented novel, yet he is excessively lucid.

On this day, although Yu Chenzhou was busy coordinating the wedding details, he also made arrangements for the daily lives and meals of his relatives.

All three meals are delivered to the floor by the hotel, with a rich variety of dishes, including chicken, duck, fish, meat, delicacies from land and sea, as well as many exquisite snacks and imported fruits that most people have never seen before;

At the same time, a car was specially arranged to take everyone to visit the iconic attractions of Shanghai. The night view of the Bund and the skyscrapers of Lujiazui broadened the horizons of the relatives who usually stay in their hometown.

The disparity in treatment gradually split the relatives' attitudes into two camps.

Many thoughtful people privately marveled at the table laden with delicacies. Li Juan, the cousin-in-law, picked up some seafood for her son, Yu Wenbo, and murmured:

"Shenzhou is such a thoughtful child. Knowing that we have a child with us, he made sure that every dish was suitable for the child, and the room was spacious enough for the child to run around and play. It was worth all the love we gave him."

Zhang Yan nodded in agreement and peeled fruit for Yu Wenxuan:

"That's really thoughtful. Other companies might not have considered this much."

Lin Xiaoyun chimed in:

"Yes, Chen Zhou and Yi Lin are very thoughtful. They even asked if my family had any dietary restrictions. They are very considerate."

But the jealousy in the hearts of another group grew wildly like weeds. The sisters-in-law sat around the dining table, looking at the exquisite dishes and the tall buildings outside the window, their sourness almost seeping out of their words.

Cousin Chen Hong picked up a piece of abalone and fed it to the child Lin Yu, saying in a deliberately sarcastic tone:

"It's only because my father-in-law is rich that he can support us. Otherwise, with Yu Chenzhou's meager salary as a doctor, let alone holding a wedding in Shanghai, he probably wouldn't even be able to afford a meal!"

"Look at this table of food, each dish costs thousands, and there are all these imported fruits. We wouldn't even dare to dream of such things normally. If it weren't for his father-in-law, could he have this kind of ability?"

Lin Chen's cousin-in-law, Liu Min, immediately chimed in, her eyes filled with envy, as she peeled shrimp for him.

"That's right! I heard that the villa they lived in after their marriage was a dowry given by the bride's father. This guy really got lucky. He rose to the top in one step with the help of a woman. Why did he have to work hard on his own?"

"The men in our family work themselves to the bone, but they can't match how easy it is for him to rely on his father-in-law."

This remark drew agreement from many of her cousins' wives and sisters-in-law, and Zhao Mei couldn't help but chime in as well:

"Indeed, he quit a perfectly good, secure job just like that. If it wasn't because of the woman, what else could he rely on?"

Women's comparisons and jealousy are more direct; the sourness in their voices is impossible to hide. They completely forget the satisfaction they felt while feeding their child, and even their cousins ​​beside them look increasingly grim.

What truly ignited the discussion was the accidental discovery that Yu Chenzhou had already resigned from the hospital.

As several relatives gathered in a room chatting, Lin Guilan brought in fruit to greet them. She had barely sat down when her aunt, Wang Xiulian, pulled her aside to talk. Wang Xiulian casually mentioned:

"Just a few days ago I was telling your uncle Chang'an how stable it was for Shen Zhou to be a doctor, but guess what I heard? Shen Zhou resigned a long time ago and no longer works at the hospital."

After those words were spoken, the room fell silent for a few seconds before erupting into chaos.

Yu Chenjun couldn't help but chime in, and then brought up the topic of daily life again, complaining:

"That's right. He quits his job whenever he wants, and chooses the days he wants without considering that we have to take time off, which would result in deductions in pay and lost work time. He, on the other hand, gets to relax and have nothing to do."

"Resigned? Just like that, he quit a perfectly good, secure job?"

Uncle Lin Shouyi glared, his contempt undisguised, and deliberately raised his voice so everyone could hear.

"I think he's determined to live off his father-in-law's family!"

Otherwise, why would he give up a stable job as a doctor to come to Shanghai and curry favor with his father-in-law? Isn't that just trying to get something for nothing?

He leaned back in his chair, his face full of disdain.

"I used to think this kid was promising, but now it seems he's just a spineless coward, living off women and bringing shame to our family!"

"you do not say,"

Cousin Li Juan leaned over and lowered her voice.

"Look at what he wears and uses now, isn't everything a designer brand?"

He wasn't like this back in his hometown.

I think he's been blinded by wealth and status, and has long forgotten his roots.

Zhao Mei nodded in agreement:

"That's true. They used to greet us when they came back to the village, but now they don't even acknowledge us poor relatives anymore."

Uncle Yu Changfu sat to one side, his face grave. He sighed heavily, his disappointment barely concealed, and couldn't help but chime in:

"When he was admitted to medical school, we all thought he would achieve great things, but we never expected it to turn out like this."

Giving up a respectable job as a doctor to depend on a woman is truly outrageous.

Cousin Zhang Yan, holding the already sleeping Yu Wenxuan, leaned close and whispered:

"I think he's been blinded by Xiao Yilin's wealth and has even lost his proper job. He'll be completely dependent on her family for support in the future, and he'll inevitably suffer a lot in the long run."

Besides, if word gets out that he's a kept man, it'll make us relatives lose face too.

My cousin's wife, Chen Hong, chimed in, knitting her knitting, her tone full of disdain:

"you do not say!

Back in his hometown, he was so honest and upright. Now he dresses in flashy clothes and speaks with the airs of a city person. He's no longer the Yu Chenzhou he used to be.

I think if he has a falling out with his wife Xiao Yilin and gets kicked out by his in-laws, he won't even be able to make a living. He'll have nowhere to turn for help then.

These words only fueled the mockery.

Lin Guilan felt a pang of guilt, but she still forced herself to suppress her grievances and softly defended her son:

"Don't talk about Chen Zhou like that, everyone. He didn't resign to rely on the woman."

He said that hospital work was too busy, and Yilin was pregnant with no one to take care of her. He wanted to start his own small business so that he could take care of his family and also have a career.

Yu Changgui nodded in agreement:

"Shen Zhou has been steady and prudent since he was a child. He would never do anything like living off a woman. Everyone can rest assured, he knows what he's doing."

But Wang Xiulian just pursed her lips:

"Brother, sister, don't speak too soon. Without the secure job of a doctor, you'll be entirely dependent on the woman's family for support. As time goes on, you'll inevitably be looked down upon."

Lin Guilan wanted to say something more, but Yu Changgui tugged at her arm, and she swallowed her words back. With red eyes, she could only silently tidy up the fruit on the table, her heart filled with bitterness and helplessness.

Only a few insightful people, such as her cousin-in-law Lin Xiaoyun, whispered, "Maybe Shenzhou has his own plans. Maybe he resigned to start his own business."

However, he was shut down by his uncle Lin Shouyi's words, "What are your plans? You just want to rely on your father-in-law to reap the benefits." In the end, he didn't dare to say anything more and could only hold his child in silence amidst a chorus of doubts, making the scene increasingly awkward.

As night deepened, the chatter in the room gradually subsided, but the discontent, jealousy, and speculation, like fine dust, settled during the preparation period of this grand wedding, quietly brewing unseen emotions.

Yu Chenzhou was completely unaware of this, and was still working with Xiao Tianhe and Song Shuwan to make the final preparations for the upcoming wedding, his heart filled with anticipation for his wife Xiao Yilin and their future family.
