After Xia Qiuran entered the house, she placed the walnuts she had bought as a gift on the table.

Fan Chunfen glanced at it, her face immediately darkening, and she said sarcastically.

"Knowing that I have bad teeth, you still bought these hard things. You didn't do it on purpose, did you?"

"Mom, pecans are the most nutritious food for brain health. If you don't like them, I'll eat them," Zhao Feng quickly added.

Xia Qiuran hasn't agreed to be with him yet, so he mustn't upset her.

Xia Qiuran wasn't angry; she just smiled faintly.

"Auntie, so you always chew walnuts with your teeth? No wonder your teeth aren't very good. But it's okay, since you don't like them, I'll take some back with me when I leave."

"you…"

Fan Chunfen didn't expect Xia Qiuran to retort like that. In the past, when Xia Qiuran came to her house, no matter what she said, Xia Qiuran would just nod and do as she was told, without saying a word. She was speechless for a moment.

"Wow, they even take back the things they gave away. I wonder how their parents raised them. They're really well-mannered."

At this moment, Zhao Juhua led the child in from outside and said in a pretentious tone.

Xia Qiuran smiled, her back ramrod straight, her gaze calmly sweeping over Zhao Juhua. Her eyes were devoid of any emotion, yet she exuded a silent aura.

"My parents taught me from a young age that you should speak politely to reasonable people, but you don't need to be polite to scoundrels."

Zhao Juhua clenched her fists, her eyes filled with anger. Unable to refute Xia Qiuran, she simply cursed like a shrew.

"Who are you calling a scoundrel? Xia Qiuran, you're the one who came to my house, begging my brother to befriend you, and you still dare to act so arrogantly towards us. Believe me or not, I'll kick you out right now."

"Zhao Juhua, please make this clear before you speak. I'm here because Zhao Feng took me to find Xiaocao yesterday, and I just want to express my gratitude."

After Xia Qiuran finished speaking, she gave Zhao Feng a cold look.

"Zhao Feng, it seems your family isn't very welcoming of me, so I'll be leaving now."

Zhao Feng immediately became anxious and quickly called out to Xia Qiuran.

"Wait for Qiu Ran."

He turned his head and said to Fan Chunfen and Zhao Juhua with a livid face.

"Mom, eldest sister, can you please shut up? I invited Qiu Ran over today. If you continue to treat him like this, I'll have no choice but to go with her."

"Xiaofeng, I'm your mother! That woman isn't even married into the family yet, and you're already talking to your mother like that? What will become of her in the future? You have to control this woman. If you can't, you have to hit her!"

Fan Chunfen slammed her hand on the table, her disgust for Xia Qiuran deepening considerably.

"Mom, Qiu Ran has always had a good personality and temper. It's you who started finding fault with her as soon as she came in. Today, I just want Qiu Ran to have a nice meal at home. If you still don't agree, then I'll leave now and we'll go to a state-run restaurant for dinner."

Zhao Feng's attitude was very firm, and his tone left no room for negotiation.

Xia Qiuran smiled inwardly. So he knew everything.

In her previous life, every time she went to his house, she was harassed by Fan Chunfen and his sisters, but he acted as if he were deaf and never said a word for her.

At the time, I was thinking that he must have been too tired from work to pay attention to me.

In this life, he didn't take him seriously at all, nor did he care about his family. Instead, the other man rushed to speak up for him.

That's really despicable.

Fan Chunfen pointed at Zhao Feng several times, but finally put her finger down. She only had this one son, and she was counting on him to support her in her old age. She couldn't let this woman's instigation cause a conflict with her son.

"What a tragedy! You've forgotten your mother now that you have a wife. The dishes are all in the kitchen; let her cook them."

In Fan Chunfen's view, this was the biggest concession she could make.

His original plan was to first teach Xia Qiuran a lesson, then make her kneel down and kowtow to him to admit her mistake, and then confiscate all the money she had earned in the city.

Then, when she cooked for their whole family, she could only squat to the side and eat with the toothless bowl she had picked up.

It seems impossible for her to do the things mentioned above now, but don't even think about expecting her to cook.

"Mom, this is Qiu Ran's first time visiting our home, how can we let her cook?" Zhao Feng frowned, looking very troubled.

"I'm not feeling well, your older sister has to take care of the children, and you sent Yang Yuqin home. She won't cook, so who will?" Fan Chunfen said, sitting back in her chair and glaring at Xia Qiuran.

Xia Qiuran didn't say anything this time. She stepped forward and calmly replied, "It's okay, it's just cooking a meal. I'll do it."

As long as you dare to eat it.

Zhao Feng thought that Xia Qiuran had been moved by his defense of her earlier and had come to her senses, so he smiled slightly.

"Thank you for your hard work, Qiu Ran."

"There are only a few of us, so we don't need to cook too much. Don't put scallions in the dishes, because my mom doesn't like them. Fry the eggs a little longer, because my sister likes them. Just add a few drops of soy sauce for color."

Then he began to explain their family's cooking rules to Xia Qiuran.

"it is good."

Xia Qiuran readily agreed to all of them and walked into the kitchen.

After Xia Qiuran left, Zhao Feng sat down next to Fan Chunfen and comforted her.

"Mom, don't be angry. We can't rush things. We have to take it one step at a time. Xia Qiuran is a military doctor now, which is a secure job. Her value is much higher than before. How can you still treat her the same way as before?"

"Does that mean I should treat her like a goddess?"

Fan Chunfen was panting heavily, clearly very angry this time. Her own son, whom she had raised, was already siding with outsiders before anything had even happened. Now that he was actually married, he was going to kick her out.

Zhao Feng slightly curled one corner of his mouth, looking confident of victory.

"We don't need to enshrine it, but at least we should make it look like a statue."

"Once she marries me and gets pregnant, then whatever you say will be hers."

Fan Chunfen twirled the bead, and after hearing what he said, her expression indeed softened considerably.

"Xiaofeng is right. She'll definitely earn more money as a doctor. We'll take all her salary and make her go to work during the day and serve our whole family at night," Zhao Juhua continued.

The family exchanged a lewd and vulgar smile. Xia Qiuran stood by the wall, feeling nauseous as she listened. She felt sorrow for her past self, wondering how she could have spent her life with such a despicable family.

Without much hesitation, he turned around and smashed the plate on the stove to the ground.

The sound quickly attracted Zhao Feng and his two companions.

"Oh dear, my plates! We only have these few plates in our house!" Zhao Juhua immediately squatted down on the ground, heartbroken.

"I'm sorry, it's been too long since I've done any work, I'm a little rusty," Xia Qiuran said somewhat embarrassedly.

Looking at the shards scattered on the ground, Zhao Feng felt a surge of irritation rising in his chest. She couldn't even do such a simple task properly. It seemed that Lu Zhenghan had spoiled her rotten, and she needed to be disciplined.
