Chapter 202 Xiao Zhao and the Tea Egg Incident

Uncle Zhao and Aunt Li quarreled every few days, and everyone was used to it and thought they would make up in a couple of days.

But this time it was unexpected and the quarrel was particularly fierce.

Xiao Zhao went to the school twice and asked for leave for two people respectively. Lin Qinglan asked indirectly, and Xiao Zhao said it was because of an old matter.

Old events and new grievances accumulated together and exploded in silence.

Xiao Zhao has another "sweet trouble" as his parents are fighting for his custody.

Logically speaking, as a 27-year-old adult male, he doesn't need to consider the issue of custody at all.

Maybe it was because Xiao Zhao took such good care of the old couple and they cooked delicious dishes, which even Chef Wu praised highly.

The old couple had the same attitude. They were not fighting for the bread, but for their reputation. Whatever the other wanted, it would be impossible for the other to get it.

You don’t have to worry about anything else, but you must keep the “chef” in your own hands.

Xiao Zhao was forced to act as a messenger between them, and had to cook two meals every day and deliver them to the old couple who "stayed indoors". Otherwise, if they sat at the same table, the air temperature would drop by ten degrees.

As for why the two of them were arguing again, Xiao Zhao didn't ask. The two of them tacitly slammed the door in his face before he could open his mouth.

Poor Xiao Zhao has to cook two meals, endure two angers, and still have to choose between his parents.

Xiao Zhao decided to start with Aunt Li.

……

He specially cut the fruit plate and went to knock on Aunt Li's door.

Aunt Li poked her head out and took a look: "Are you alone? Is that old man not peeking around?"

Xiao Zhao looked at Aunt Li who was guarding against thieves, and felt sad and funny at the same time. "No, no, my dad is not in the living room."

"Who asked where he was? Have you finally decided that there's no future with your dad and you want to go with mom?"

Xiao Zhao knew that Aunt Li was still angry, so he followed her lead and said, "Mom, I will definitely stand on your side. If my dad has done anything to offend you, tell me and I will scold him for you."

Aunt Li sneered, "You don't need to show up. He can't scold me. I've convinced him."

"Stop distorting the facts. I'm just being accommodating to you. I don't want to argue with you. I'm being humble so you can understand." Uncle Zhao's voice came from the next room.

Aunt Li was so angry that she wanted to kick the door: "You old fool, don't hide behind the door and eavesdrop. If you have the guts, come out."

Xiao Zhao hurriedly persuaded Aunt Li and pulled her back to the room.

"Mom, calm down, don't be angry."

"Why did you and my dad quarrel about this?" Xiao Zhao handed over the fruit while carefully observing Aunt Li's expression.

"I didn't quarrel with him, he was the one who was being unreasonable." Aunt Li looked at him suspiciously.

"Are you here to speak for him?"

"How is that possible? Of course I'm on your side. Don't worry, I will never tell my dad." Xiao Zhao massaged Aunt Li's shoulders diligently.

"You're lying. Who were you talking to at the door just now? Don't think I don't know that you and your son must be in cahoots with each other."

"The one just now was my cousin, and you are my real mother."

Aunt Li nodded in agreement: "That's more like it. You are still my good son. Please give me your opinion."

"I attended a 35-year reunion last week, and a male classmate from my class gave me a box of tea."

"I told your father not to open it. Bring it to your grandfather in a couple of days. He has donkey hair in his ears and can't hear. He has already cooked tea eggs."

"I boiled five tea eggs in a whole box, and drowned the eggs in tea leaves."

"The point is, he cooked five and ate them all himself. I didn't even see the eggshells."

"Why don't you eat him to death? If he loves eating so much, just spend the rest of his life with tea eggs!"

"Why did he send you and not me? And you said you don't have Bai Yuedeng?" Uncle Zhao shouted in the next room.

"Are you our classmate? Why should they give you this? How come you, old Puxin, didn't choke to death on the tea egg?"

"I told you I didn't eat!" Uncle Zhao shouted at the door.

Aunt Li snorted coldly: "Who else could it be if not you? Is your house raising pigs, or is it haunted?"

Uncle Zhao retorted: "I didn't eat any. Who ate five tea eggs in one meal? Which pig in our family ate them?"

Aunt Li: "Who are you calling a pig?"

Uncle Zhao: "You were the one who said that to me first."

Aunt Li: "You are done, old man. I am going to take your son and the house away. Get out of the house and live with tea eggs!"

Uncle Zhao: "Let's go! I'd rather die of starvation than eat eggs cooked with green tea!"

Xiao Zhao was sandwiched in the middle and raised his hand weakly: "Dad, that tea is not green tea but black tea. Boiling tea eggs is very fragrant. Can you put less salt next time? It's a bit salty."

In fact, Xiao Zhao was the fuse. He really didn't know that what he had eaten were five tea eggs with stories behind them.

"Son, did you eat all the tea eggs? Five in one meal, you are really a greedy boy." Uncle Zhao was stunned and gave a thumbs up in a sarcastic tone.

Aunt Li: "Who told you to say that about my son? It's all your fault. You didn't even let the child eat enough eggs. He is not your biological son."

Uncle Zhao: "It's all my fault. I can't stand you anymore. We need a divorce. We must get a divorce!"

Aunt Li: "I was the first one who couldn't stand you anymore. Let's divorce. Who's afraid of who?"

Xiao Zhao reached out his hands, grabbed one in each hand, and was in a dilemma: "Haven't we explained everything clearly? Why do you still want to divorce?"

"Children should not interrupt adults' affairs. Hurry up and make lunch." Aunt Li shook off Xiao Zhao's hand.

"Your mother is right, please leave us alone. Our quarrel won't kill each other, but I'm starving. You go and cook." Uncle Zhao also echoed.

Xiao Zhao was puzzled: "You two are so in sync, why do you have to get a divorce?"

Aunt Li: "What nonsense are you talking about? I have a tacit understanding with him? It's impossible, absolutely impossible."

Uncle Zhao: "I don't care who wants to have a tacit understanding with you."

The two people started a new round of "battle".

Xiao Zhao scratched his head helplessly and said, "What on earth has marriage brought to you? Fortunately, I am not married."

Uncle Zhao and Aunt Li turned around at the same time: "Shut up!"
