Chapter: 3946

He could only patiently explain to Xiao Changkun: "Dad, it's really difficult to calculate someone's face by looking at a photo because facial features are not just about the five sense organs and physical appearance, but also about the entire person's three-dimensional facial structure. Only then can you truly see what an individual's face represents."

Xiao Changkun asked puzzled: "What do you mean by 'looking at someone's face'? Can't you just look at their physical appearance and know their general fortune? This photo is very clear, it's an official publicized ID photo."

Ye Cheng sighed and asked: "Dad, let's not talk about others, but didn't I hear that some people have a red birthmark on their forehead and are doomed to face calamity? But look at this guy's photo, the flash even highlights his face more than that of a white person. Even if he has a red birthmark, it can't be seen from just looking at the photo. Relying on photos to read faces is unreliable."

Xiao Changkun reluctantly said: "I heard that this guy is quite powerful, so I wanted to show off my skills in front of him, but now there's no way to do so."

He then quickly added: "Good son-in-law, you quickly look for any problems with their main hall and see if it has some feng shui issues or not. At least we can take a look at the main hall."

Ye Cheng had no choice but to nod his head and say: "Alright, I'll research it."

Xiao Changkun then asked his wife: "Has Mom said when she's coming back? What are we going to eat for dinner tonight?"

Saying that, he couldn't help but complain: "This bunch of nasty women, they're really something! Going out to play was fine, but not even coming back to cook dinner? That's just too much..."

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of the door being pushed open and Ma'er's furious voice echoing in: "Xiao Changkun! Who are you calling nasty women?"

Seeing that it was Ma'er who had arrived, with Qian Hongyan supporting him from behind, Xiao Changkun immediately grew annoyed and said: "You're coming back now? My whole family is starving and waiting for you!"

Ma'er got angry and scolded: "Xiao Changkun, you're so lazy! Your mother-in-law's legs are still recovering, she's been doing all the cooking at home these days. Today, your mother-in-law went out for a bit, but you can't even lift a finger to help?!"

Just as Xiao Changkun was about to speak up, Qian Hongyan behind him also strongly agreed: "Yes! It's not Auntie Ma'er who's saying it! She's been having a tough time these days, and you're not taking care of her at all. You're just expecting her to wait on you hand and foot!"

Xiao Changkun grew indignant and said: "I was only asking her to cook one meal, and it's not just for me, but also for my daughter-in-law! You don't know, when she's cooking at home, my daughter-in-law gives her money every month!"

Qian Hongyan coolly retorted: "Since your son-in-law is giving her money, then you should be the one to criticize him, not Ma'er. You're just a freeloader, and how can you dare to scold Ma'er?"

Ma'er immediately felt like she had found an ally and blurted out: "Oh, Auntie Qian, today you've finally given me the opportunity to speak my mind! I'll tell you something from the bottom of my heart - these Xiao men are all very difficult to deal with! This Xiao Changkun is difficult, that Xiao Kuan is even worse! They're like snakes and mice living together!"

Qian Hongyan nodded vigorously, her voice trembling with emotion: "Ma'er, what you said is so right! We're what kind of destiny? We've got this pair of siblings... it's like blood has been spilled for eight generations!"

Xiao Changkun was taken aback by the rebuke, his face red and ears burning. He suddenly couldn't think of a good reason to argue back, because Qian Hongyan's words were true - the money was given by your son-in-law, and criticizing Ma'er wasn't fair either. So this round was definitely out of bounds.

He's been playing this game his whole life, too well aware of timing and circumstances, only to back down when he can't win, which is his consistent strategy.

Now, he knows that himself has no abilities to match these two brawling women. This is simply a futile endeavor.

So, he sulked and said, "The money was indeed given by my son-in-law. Ma'er not cooking for me isn't an issue, but refusing to cook for the son-in-law is a bit excessive, don't you think?"

Ma'er snickered and said, "If they felt I was being too extreme, they would definitely tell me directly, no need for you to meddle here."

Xiao Changkun was flustered and exclaimed, "Ma'er, what kind of idioms are these? My relationship with Ye Chen is that of a father-in-law and son-in-law. If we were in ancient times, I would be the king's representative. How can I compare myself to an emperor who doesn't care about his eunuchs?"

Ma'er looked at Qian Hongyan, giggling meanly and said, "See, big sister, he got upset just after speaking for two sentences."

Qian Hongyan shrugged and said disdainfully, "Men in the Xiao family are all like this! They move slowly, get impatient quickly, have little ability but a big temper!"

Ma'er clapped her hands excitedly and said, "Big sister, you're absolutely right! It's like every word has drilled into my heart!" JrNovels.com
