Chapter 558 - 556: Newly Wed and Returning Home
As soon as Wang Yongping heard that his wife had made the entire breakfast table, how could he not show his support?
After taking a sip of congee, he would exclaim how delicious it was, and after having a bite of the side dish, he’d praise its excellence and how well it accompanied the meal.
Even for the steamed buns that were ready-made, he claimed they were fluffy and soft because his wife made them.
With such flattery, others might let it go, but although Lady Lin wanted to say something, seeing that Old Granny Zhang kept silent, she dared not speak up.
The one who felt the most awkward was actually Liu Xiaoqiao—she had never seen anyone so foolish! Was he really praising her or actually causing her trouble?
If it were a sister-in-law with less generous thoughts, wouldn’t she grumble, suspecting that he meant only his wife’s cooking was delicious while everyone else’s was fit only for pigs?
Without leaving any traces, she glared at Wang Yongping several times, but as he was so busy tucking into his food and showing such support after praising his wife’s skills, he ended up not catching any of her rolling eyes.
Liu Xiaoqiao couldn’t bear it any longer and, amidst Wang Yongzhu’s teasing laughter, she kicked Wang Yongping under the table, finally stopping his awkward praise.
After breakfast, Lady Jiang helped Liu Xiaoqiao gather the dishes and take them to the kitchen. Liu Xiaoqiao then apologized to Lady Jiang in private, "Third sister-in-law, I’m apologizing on behalf of Fourth Brother for you. He’s just not good with words. He didn’t mean it that way, but it came out all wrong. Please don’t take it to heart!"
She vowed to herself that as soon as they got back to their room, she would give Wang Yongping, that idiot, a good talking-to.
Lady Jiang was flattered and quickly waved her off, "No need, no need."
