Chapter 95: Lunar New Year's Eve Dinner
Tang Qiaoqiao didn't bother to pay attention to Shen Liang's impolite remarks. After all, he broke up with Tang Rou because he was selfish.
Shen Liang was choked and scolded, "Don't pretend to be a good person. Tang Rou and I could get this far because of you. If you didn't go back to the Tang family, these things wouldn't happen."
Tang Qiaoqiao rolled her eyes at him. What a fool. "The wicked complained first. The Tang family was the one who found me back then. Since I married Shen Yue and left the Tang family, I have nothing to do with them."
"Of course, I have to thank you for all this. It was you at the beginning who tried your best to match me to your uncle. Thank you." Tang Qiaoqiao said with a grin.
Shen Liang: "..." He lifted a rock and hit himself in the foot.
Hu Hong didn't actually walk away but hid aside and eavesdropped. When she saw that her son couldn't refute Tang Qiaoqiao, she couldn't help but jump out again.
"You speak a little more politely. This is the Shen family's house, not a place where your small Tang family can spoil you."
"You don't seem to be so big either. Otherwise, should I call your family Shen Hu in the future?" Tang Qiaoqiao mocked her.
Hu Hong: "You..."
"Shut up." Shen Yong pushed Shen Yue out of the elevator and said to Hu Hong with a calm face, "Why are you making so much noise in Chinese New Year? I asked you to come to accompany my mother, not to make you quarrel."
Hu Hong was annoyed. "She was the one who spoke outrageously first."
Shen Yong: "Nonsense. You and Qiaoqiao have no grievances and no grudges. If your big mouth didn't find things to quarrel with, everything would be fine."
Hu Hong was full of resentment. She did not expect that her husband would also stand by Tang Qiaoqiao's side. This kind of situation is not easy, so she can only swallow her anger.
Shen Yue didn't speak, only the corners of his mouth raised when he looked at the two people acting in front of him.

In fact, Shen Yong is sometimes a little afraid of his younger brother. However, Shen Yue usually gives his eldest brother some face.
Not only do Shen Yong and Shen Yue look different, but they also act in different styles. Shen Yue is bold and often has unexpected innovations in the business field, while Shen Yong, as his name suggests, is conservative. He takes insurance and prudence as his foundation. If it were not for Shen Yue's car accident, he would not be the Shen Group's head.
[T/N: The "Yong" in Shen Yong's name means "fortified wall"]
However, the Shen Group has been in his hands for the past two years. Its development has been mediocre, and newcomers have even dominated some of their industries.
Shen Yong originally thought that if he became the head of the Shen group, he would be able to stand higher than his younger brother. He even beware of Shen Yue coming back to snatch the position from him.
However, the drama of two brothers smashing the wall has never happened. He now understands why. It is because Shen Yue doesn't bother at all. His own company, Aoxing Investment, has become an industry leader. Even now, the Shen group has a big project, and he has to turn to Shen Yue for help.
Just now, Shen Yong went upstairs and talked with Shen Yue, but Shen Yue did not immediately agree. He only said that he would consider it. At this juncture, he can't let Hu Hong and Shen Liang offend Shen Yue's wife and bring him into trouble.
Just now, Shen Liang was looking at Tang Qiaoqiao with proud posture to inquire about a crime. As soon as he saw his father come out, he immediately silenced. Then he saw Shen Yue, who seemed to see everything through. He was irritable, but he called obediently. "Uncle."
Shen Yong said coldly, "You just called your Uncle. Have you called Qiaoqiao?"
"Call her?" Shen Liang gave a blank look.
"She is your aunt. We taught you the rules for nothing." Shen Yong said.
Hu Hong wanted to make her son more comfortable. "The two of them are about the same age. Forget it. Young people don't like this."
Shen Liang mumbled, "You want me to call her "Aunt"? There's no way."
"What did you say?" Shen Yong said sharply. "Even if she is younger than you, you have to call her. This is the rule."
Shen Yue and Tang Qiaoqiao looked at each other. The two of them curled their mouths without making a sound and were ready to watch whatever the three of them could perform.
When Shen Yong got angry, Shen Liang froze. He turned his face unwillingly and whispered, "Auntie."
Tang Qiaoqiao tilted her ears: "What did you say? I couldn't hear it."
Shen Liang took a deep breath, and under Shen Yong's aggressive eyes, he raised his voice. "Auntie!"
Tang Qiaoqiao opened her eyes and smiled, "Oh, such a good boy."
Shen Liang's face is like a pufferfish. Why did he bother to come back to celebrate the New Year? If he knew, he would rather receive some work on New Year's Eve.
Hu Hong was stunned by Tang Qiaoqiao's triumphant smile and said dully, "I will go back to my room to rest."
Just as she was about to leave, Madam Shen slowly walked down from the second floor. Who knows how long she had been listening to them.
"Where are you going?"
Hu Hong turned her head and said respectfully, "Mom, I'll go back to the room to clean up."
Madam Shen said, "Come back when you have cleaned up. There are still many things to do for the New Year."
Hu Hong was surprised. "Aren't the servants doing these?"
Madam Shen said lazily, "I gave them all the holidays this year. I let them go back and spend the New Year with their families. We have hands and feet, and there are so many people. Can't we do it ourselves?"
"Yes, I understand." Hu Hong didn't dare to confront Madam Shen. This old lady was never weak once the fire started. Many times she suspected that her husband was not Madam Shen's biological son. He didn't look like Madam Shen at all.
"Qiaoqiao," Madam Shen saw Tang Qiao Qiao, and her cloudy face turned to sunshine immediately. "You accompany me to the greenhouse. Didn't you say yesterday that you want to see the vegetables I grow?"
"Okay." Tang Qiaoqiao got up and walked to her to help her down.
Although Madam Shen doesn't know how to cook, she loves growing vegetables. Maybe this is the hobby engraved in the genes of Chinese people. Since she saw Tang Qiaoqiao planting a yard full of vegetables, she came back and set up a greenhouse for growing vegetables.
Other wealthy people set up luxurious gardens to grow rare and exotic plants, but this old lady took one step further and set up a vegetable greenhouse at home.
Hu Hong was disdainful when she heard that. In her mind, growing vegetables was dirty and troublesome. It's better to get imported vegetables. Why bother? Of course, she could only swallow these words in her stomach.
Madam Shen walked to the door, turned around, and added to Hu Hong, "You will come directly to the greenhouse to help later, and Shen Liang will also come."
Hu Hong and Shen Liang were dumbfounded.
"...Yes."
For two hours, Hu Hong and Shen Liang were directed by Madam Shen to turn the plants around, pulling weeds, shoveling the ground, watering, etc. The two of them normally never do physical work. They were exhausted after only a while.
Tang Qiaoqiao didn't feel tired at all. She was wandering around the greenhouse, feeling around here and there. Who knows what she was doing.
Madam Shen's vegetables are good, but compared with Tang Qiaoqiao's vegetable garden, it is still a little lack of energy. She pretended to look everywhere and secretly applied some of her spiritual energy in the soil.
After finishing her "work," Tang Qiaoqiao picked a basket full of vegetables. These vegetables would be rotten if they weren't picked. She planned to use the extra to make pickles.
"Excuse me."
Hu Hong was sitting lazily and heard Tang Qiaoqiao's voice above her head.

Tang Qiaoqiao condescendingly looked at her, with one hand easily carrying a large basket of vegetables. "Sister-in-law, are you tired? It seems that your body is a little weak. You need to pay attention to maintenance when you are at your age."
After speaking, Tang Qiaoqiao walked past her, leaving her so angry that she was about to vomit blood.
The most important thing about New Year's Eve is the family reunion dinner.
In previous years, the Shen family would invite five-star chefs to cook at home, or to save trouble they would go out for the meal.
But this year is different. With the chef, Tang Qiaoqiao, Madam Shen gave her full control of the kitchen.
Hu Hong was jealous. Tang Qiaoqiao has not been in the Shen family's house for a long time, but she has pleased the old lady. She has been married to Shen Yong for so many years and gave birth to her good grandson, Shen Liang, but Madam Shen rarely gave her a good face.
'Isn't just cooking? Everyone can do it.'
Hu Hong rolled up her sleeves, put on her apron, and said, "Mom, it's too tiring to let my younger sister-in-law cook a large number of dishes alone. I will cook a few dishes so you can also taste my craft."
"Can you cook?" Madam Shen was very suspicious. She had never seen her eldest daughter-in-law cook.
Hu Hong nodded firmly. "I can. I have learned a few dishes recently. Shen Yong especially likes to eat it."
"Okay, you can help too. You two will discuss it together." Madam Shen said.
Tang Qiaoqiao twitched the corners of her mouth. "Sister-in-law, what do you want to do? Let's not make it too heavy."
Hu Hong looked at the pile of ingredients on the counter, swallowed nervously, and took a few randomly.
"I'll use these."
She can't cook, but it's not a big deal. There is Baidu.
Hu Hong thought it was very simple, but Tang Qiaoqiao's knife skills attracted her attention away as she started.
Tang Qiaoqiao's knives were so smooth. "Swishes" until it has afterimages. In the blink of an eye, a carrot was cut into evenly-sized filaments.
Madam Shen was amazed again and again. Hu Hong suddenly felt that she had found a hot potato for herself.
Tang Qiaoqiao didn't have time to worry about what Hu Hong was doing. She focused on her own cooking. Anyway, the kitchen has a lot of space, and they don't have to hassle each other.
Eight-treasure duck, coral fish, boiled prawns, braised pork, morel stewed chicken, steamed rice cakes...
Tang Qiaoqiao is methodical. Several dishes are cooked at the same time, and the whole kitchen is full of rich fragrances.
On the contrary, Hu Hong was in a rush. When the beef was out of the pot, she found that she had forgotten to cut the vegetables. The lid was picked up and taken down again and again. From time to time, there was a scream, accompanied by "so hot" exclamations.
Madam Shen was frightened. "Be careful, don't burn my kitchen in the New Year."
Hu Hong could only smile awkwardly.
Tang Qiaoqiao opened the saucepan and tasted the chicken soup. After adding morel mushrooms, it was delicious.
"Do you need any help?" Shen Yue appeared behind her in a timely manner.
Madam Shen joked, "You smell the fragrance."
Shen Yue just said, "I really want to help."
Tang Qiaoqiao didn't believe it but filled a bowl of soup each for him and Madam Shen to cushion their stomachs.
Shen Liang had long been itching in the living room after he smelled the scent and couldn't help but also leaned in. However, he felt too embarrassed to come to Tang Qiaoqiao and had to pretend to watch Hu Hong's progress.
However, after looking at the dishes his mother cooked, he decided to sit away from the dishes later.
After a busy meal, the New Year's Eve dinner is finally ready.
