When Shen Zhu returned to the manor, the sky was already dark.

Shen Zhu thought about the relationship that he had with the Aunt Liu yesterday. After returning home, he immediately informed the mother and daughter pair and graciously invited them to dinner.

There was a saying that 'distant relatives are not as close as one's neighbours'! Moreover, she truly liked this mother and daughter pair's straightforward manner.

Shen Zhu directly carried the dishes and the fish into the kitchen. On the way there, she had already thought of what to do with the two fish.

She washed the two fish's scales and took a small piece of fish, which was as wide as a finger, and put it in a small bowl. She pickled the fish for the time it took to drink tea and mixed it with a small bowl of sauce.

Because there was no sugar, Shen Zhu had to use sugar instead.

The pickled fish pieces were mixed with flour and placed in a pot. After being fried until both sides were golden, he scooped up the fried fish pieces and put them on a plate. Then, he started another pot and boiled the mixture with half a bowl of water.

Shen Zhu had taken half of the other fish to make the other half of the soup, while the other half was made into thin pieces of fish.

Finally, he simply stir-fried two vegetables, four dishes and a soup.

Just as Shen Zhu finished setting up the dishes, he saw a unfamiliar lady walking towards his house.

The lady looked to be slightly younger than Zhuer, and looked to be extremely weak. Just as she walked in, she asked in a small voice: "Sister Shen, my name is Zhen'er, I live next door to you.

Jane looked ready to cry at any moment.

Seeing this, Shen Zhu was a little taken aback. It was as if Zhen'er was bullying him.

Shen Zhu stopped thinking and pursed his lips into a smile: "Please come in Miss Zhen Er's room, thank you for your concern."

As soon as he finished.

Ah Qiu's voice transmitted over: "Sister-in-law, how can treating us to dinner make you busy? I'll help. "

Shen Zhu was a little embarrassed, upon seeing Yue'er's' Can I eat with you? ' He looked over with an expression on his face.

She could only say: "Miss Zhen'er must have not eaten yet, right? If you don't mind, why don't you stay and eat together? "

"This... "Not so good."

"It's fine. It's just adding a pair of tableware. What's more, it'll be more lively with one extra person."

Su Zongwen and Aunt Liu came in one after the other.

Even though there was an uninvited girl, she did not affect the liveliness of the atmosphere.

The main reason was because the Ah Qiu was busy gossiping with Shen Zhu about the recent events, Yao'er was quietly listening, Old Lady Liu looked at her daughter in disdain, while Su Zongwen looked at Shen Zhu gently, excited to hear the news.

Just as they finished half of their meal, Zhuer rushed in.

Actually, it wasn't her fault.

Just as she returned to the courtyard, she smelled a fragrant smell of meat. Following the smell, she knew that the fragrance was coming from Shen Zhu's house.

Unexpectedly, she ran in quickly. Seeing how lively the room was, especially when she saw Jane, she became even angrier.

She wondered what kind of person Shen Zhu was to actually win over people's hearts. Old Lady Liu admitted that she was a snob, but what was with that trash, Zhen'er?

Zhuer calmed himself down and ridiculed.

"Little Sister Shen sure knows how to enjoy. It's a feast of big fish and big meat. Those who don't know better might think that it's the young miss of a rich family having a meal!"

Most importantly, he still hadn't called her.

"Miss Zhuer is praising me too much, they are all farm vegetables, I think that Miss Zhuer would definitely not like these coarse foods, so I do not have the nerve to invite Miss Zhuer here." Shen Zhu returned to reality and followed her lead.

She was too used to seeing someone like Zhuer, who was still acting good even after getting a bargain!

This woman didn't listen to her afternoon reminder and didn't want to give her face or fight for peace.

"That's true. The vulgar food has no special characteristics at all!"

Zhuer said unwillingly as he shifted his gaze away from the fish on the table.

From the moment Zhuer entered the room, Su Zongwen's expression had not been too good. Upon hearing these words, his expression immediately darkened, stood up abruptly, and said with a cold face: "Since Miss Zhuer does not fancy it, then I'll not send you off!"

Zhuer was startled by Su Zongwen's imposing aura, he retreated a few steps and forced himself to remain calm: "Good! Throw me out, right? Who wants to stay in your little shitty house! Hmph, to be able to eat so much with just a little bit of fish, you truly have no experience at all! "

"Sister Zhuer …" Jane saw that she was not keeping her mouth shut, so she stood up with an embarrassed look on her face.

They lived in the same house as Shen Zhu and her wife. She said that this was a broken down house, so what about their family? Besides, he didn't do anything. Was there a need to be so hostile?

Before she could speak up, she was glared at by Zhuer.

"Zhuer, don't go too far!"

Aunt Liu could not watch any longer. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and warned her.

"There is a rule made in the Villa. No one in the manor is allowed to cause trouble!"

"You!"

Zhuer clenched his teeth and looked at Aunt Liu.

Then she glared at Jane.

"What is it? You still want to speak up for them? "You were bribed with such a simple meal?"

"I …" Jane was frightened by her gaze. Her eyes flashed and she did not say anything.

Forget it, it was not the first time Zhuer had seen his sarcasm.

"Humph!" Just you wait! "

Seeing that, Zhuer snorted, and after finishing his threat, he shook his head and left.

Jie'er looked at Zhuer's beautiful figure and suddenly felt uneasy. She bit her lips and said: "Sister Shen, Sister Zhuer's temper is just like that, I apologize on her behalf, please forgive her, I hope you do not take offense."

Shen Zhu retracted his gaze, "You don't have to apologize, hurry up and eat."

There was no hint of joy or anger in his tone, no doubt about it.

Seeing that Shen Zhu really did not care about her loss, Jane became uneasy and sat down.

Why? She had a nagging feeling that something was wrong.
