Mr. Zhao and the people in the second room of the Zhao family sat quietly in the hall after dinner, and no one said a word. To say there were six of them was not a small number, but they seemed very deserted. Especially after dark, the laughter of children and the laughter of adults came from the main room, making their second room even more deserted and lonely.

"They make trouble during the day and at night, but they are having fun and don't care whether others want to rest or not." Zhao Shufen complained dissatisfied.

"Just say less. They only make trouble for a few days a year, and the patience is over." Mr. Zhao wanted to take a sip of tea, but found that the tea had gone cold after sitting for too long, so he took it. Put the teacup on the table.

"I would rather say less, but if I don't speak, the room will be so quiet." Zhao Shufen glared at Ke Yi and said, "Such a shameful thing happened at home, and we don't even have the dignity to visit relatives and friends." , let alone inviting guests to the house

, it is also lively." Ke Yi lowered his head and remained silent. During this period, he was often scolded and ridiculed, but he only had two choices, either divorce or endure, the biggest problem in his previous life His wish was to marry Zhao Haoyu and repay him for his kindness, so he couldn't choose divorce and could only endure it.

Mr. Zhao also looked at Ke Yi, and then sighed. During this time, he sighed more and more frequently.

Zhao Jianan and his wife were not in the mood to talk, because Cheng Sheng had taken away a lot of business from the Zhao family's restaurants and restaurants. They asked people to find out why the guests were willing to go to the restaurants opened by Cheng Sheng. Then the people who asked them told them that in addition to the wine from Xiaojia Winery, Cheng Sheng's restaurants and restaurants had recently released some special-tasting wines. It's a good dish, and people who have made reservations have been waiting for half a year.

Zhao Jianan and his wife are also worried. The business of pawn shops and clothing stores is getting worse and worse, so they can only rely on expanding the business of hotels and restaurants. But if we want to regain lost customers, we can only find new chefs to make better-tasting dishes. But how easy is it to find good chefs nowadays? Even if you find it, it's not that easy to ask for.

"Your eldest daughter has been back with her family for so many days, but she hasn't even come to greet you. It's okay for her to look down on us. She doesn't even take you as her biological father in her eyes. The eldest daughter is really He raised a pair of good children and treated his biological father as an enemy." Zhao Shufen is used to instigating others. As long as she talks about the people in the big house, she will definitely have bad things to say.

"Dad!" Zhao Manting shouted loudly before she reached the door, "Dad, are you in there? I'm coming in!" "

Here, come in!" Mr. Zhao was stunned when he heard Zhao Manting calling him. Then respond to her immediately.

"Hey, everyone is here." Zhao Manting opened the door and went in. When she saw everyone in the second room was there, she said, "It's the Chinese New Year. Your second room is so deserted. I thought something happened to you here." Here." As

soon as Zhao Manting entered the room, everyone except Mr. Zhao stood up. Although Zhang Shufen looked reluctant, she still stood up and gave up her seat to Zhao Manting.

Mr. Zhao is not afraid of Mrs. Zhao, but he is a little afraid of his eldest daughter, because Zhao Manting was almost brought up by Mr. Zhao's mother. From appearance to personality and temperament, she is too similar to his deceased mother. Mr. Zhao could point his finger at Zhao Xiuning and scold him or even hit him, but he did not dare to say a harsh word to his eldest daughter. Zhang Shufen and her son were also a little afraid of her.

After Zhao Manting sat down on Zhang Shufen's seat, she looked at Mr. Zhao and asked, "Dad, how are you doing lately? Is there nothing wrong with you?"

"You are in good health, there is nothing wrong with you." Mr. Zhao replied.

"Really? It's fine. It's fine. I was worried that you might be sick, so I haven't seen you in the main courtyard for so many days since I came back." Zhao Manting turned to look at Zhang Shufen and asked, " How is Aunt Zhang doing recently?"

"Okay, very good." Zhang Shufen is also several decades old, but in front of Zhao Manting, she has no place to sit. If she dares to sit down and try, Zhao Manting can do it. There was a quarrel in the second room. Zhang Shufen was standing, so naturally Zhao Jianan and his wife, Zhao Haoyu and Ke Yi couldn't sit down.

In the past, Zhang Shufen felt that she had given birth to a son and a grandson for the Zhao family, and she took herself seriously. She felt that she was no longer interested in calling her aunt in the new society, so she asked Mr. Zhao to ask Zhao Manting and Zhao Xiuning to change their names to her. Mom, Zhao Manting pointed at her nose and scolded her for three days.

Zhao Manting is the pampered eldest daughter of the Zhao family, and she is a person who has read books, so naturally she cannot use curse words. However, precisely because she has read books and knows more, she scolds Zhao Shufen for crying and grabbing. land. She not only scolded Zhao Shufen, but also scolded Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao couldn't stand it and hid out. When Zhao Manting saw that Mr. Zhao was hiding, she became even more angry, so she asked all the servants in the house to gather together. She grabbed Zhang Shufen's hair and dragged her to those people and continued to scold her. She not only scolded but also hit her to let her know What are the rules. Zhang Shufen always felt that she was the master in this family, but she was beaten and scolded by Zhao Manting in front of so many servants, and she almost hit the wall in shame and anger.

"I have heard about your second wife's matter. Speaking of which, there is no need for you to be depressed over such a trivial matter. As for the evil things you have done, the greater retribution is yet to come. Now you can do it for such a trivial matter. I can't bear it anymore, what should I do in the future?"

If Zhao Xiuning said this, Mr. Zhao would definitely tell him to get out, but when Zhao Manting said this, Mr. Zhao did not dare to say anything, and others did not dare to say anything. Only Ke Yi is thinking in his heart, Cheng Sheng won't live much longer, and it depends on whether you can still say the words of retribution in the future.

Zhao Manting looked at each of them. No matter how she looked at them, she felt that the second room's family was wretched and full of bad ideas. Even the newly married Ke Yi didn't look like a good person.

Zhao Manting resisted the urge to roll her eyes, turned to look at Mr. Zhao and said, "Dad, I only come back once a year, and I wanted to ask your grandson and grandson to pay you New Year greetings, but you didn't even open the door of the main courtyard." You're too lazy to come in. Do you want to recognize me as your daughter?"

"...What are you talking about?" Mr. Zhao said with evasive eyes.

"Since you don't want to recognize me as your daughter, then go over and get together with everyone. You are the head of the family. When guests come to the house, you hide away from them. Isn't that ridiculous?" Zhao Manting looked at him and asked.

"It's not like you don't know that we have festivals with the Cheng family and the Xiao family. How can I entertain them when they come..." "The

fault of your festivals with others is yours and not others, so they can come to the door with a clear conscience. , and you can only hide in your own home. But have you ever thought about whether you are willing to hide like this for the rest of your life and watch your family's business decline, or are you willing to take advantage of today's opportunity to turn the hostility into friendship with the two of them? , and then let the family business get better and better?"

Mr. Zhao was moved by the news, but he was still worried about losing face.

"I am doing this for my mother and my brother. I think the Zhao family's business is getting better and better, and they will be able to share more of the family property in the future, but not for you." Zhao Manting said.

"If I go, your second brother will definitely be angry with me again. Before he even says a few words, I will be angry with him." Mr. Zhao expressed his worries.

"As long as I am here, he will never dare to talk back to you today. I have already told him before I came here. I told him that I would invite you and the people in the second room over. Let's all have a meal together in a friendly manner. We will also We are all grandparents. In the past, we didn't care about things anymore. Only by being kind can we make money. If he dares to anger you today, I will be the first one not to spare him."

"Dad, what the eldest sister said makes sense." Upon hearing this, Zhao Jian'an invited them over and immediately stepped forward to persuade Mr. Zhao, "In the past, those were just small things, and they were not blood feuds. How can anyone hold grudges all his life? Let's work together Go over and have a drink with them to apologize. Don't worry about the past. It'll be nice if we all have business to do together in the future." "

Then let's go." Zhao Manting didn't want to stay here any longer and stood up. Then walked out.

Mr. Zhao and Zhao Jianan looked at each other, then stood up and walked out.

Zhao Haoyu didn't want to go at first, but Zhao Jian'an pulled him and he had no choice but to follow. Since they were all going there, Ke Yi naturally wanted to follow.

Because they had eaten dinner a little early and played with the children for a while, Zhao Xiuning and the others were also hungry and were ready to have midnight snacks.

Zhao Xiuning had already greeted the others, so when Mr. Zhao and the people from the second room appeared in the main hall, no one was confused or surprised.

After everyone sat down, Zhao Xiuning exchanged a look with Zhao Manting, and then invited everyone to eat. Since he asked Zhao Manting to specially invite Mr. Zhao and the people from the second room, he naturally had his purpose, but of course the purpose could never be. The so-called business for the Zhao family.

"Come on, come on, fill it up for everyone. This is Xiao Ling's new wine. I haven't even thought of a name yet. It's definitely not available outside now. Let's have a taste and see how it tastes." Zhao Xiuning asked the helper to pour wine for everyone.

Except for Tao Yuan, who was pregnant and couldn't drink, a few helpers standing on one side gave everyone a drink. Of course, the children couldn't drink either, but they sat at another table.

Zhao Haoyu didn't like drinking much, but the aroma of wine emanating from the wine glass in front of him made him couldn't help but pick up the glass and take a sip to see what it tasted like. As soon as the wine entered his mouth, he was stunned for a moment. He actually thought it tasted good. This was the first time he felt that wine tasted good.

"Are new wines coming out?" Mrs. Zhao looked at Tao Yuan and said, "You are inconvenient now, so don't be tired." "

I'm not tired, but it's boring to be idle, so I brewed some wine to pass the time. This We haven't decided to sell the wine yet." Tao Yuan looked at it and said with a smile.

As soon as Mr. Zhao and Zhao Jianan took a sip, they felt that their mouths were full of fragrance, like drinking nectar. They were sighing in their hearts that this was really the best wine. When they heard that Tao Yuan was just making wine to kill time, they felt a sudden regret. , I felt that it would have been better if the wedding with the Xiao family had not been canceled at that time.

Zhao Haoyu wanted to drink another drink, but he was too embarrassed to take the initiative to ask someone to pour the wine. He raised his head and glanced in Tao Yuan's direction. After seeing Tao Yuan's smiling face, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He had to admit that Tao Yuan really had a good-looking face, and he had only heard that pregnancy would make people fatter and slimmer. Ugly, I didn't expect someone to look better after pregnancy than before.
