Chapter 738: Etiquette at the Dining Table

Mu Ning replied obediently, “When eating, you have to sit on a third of the chair. The chopsticks have to be held at two-thirds the length, or it won’t look good. When there’s something in the soup, you have to swallow it after chewing, or you will look anxious and indecent. Don’t put the spoon
backwards. That’s what you do during the sacrifice.
Sun Yun nodded and said with admiration, “You still remember the dining etiquette. Not bad. Our Mu family is not casual. Some rules and etiquette are elegant arts that ordinary families can’t learn in their lives.”
Although Sun Yun did not name anyone, everyone knew very well whom Sun Yun was referring to.
Ye Wen glanced at Lin Yin, who had a calm gaze. Lin Yin was not angry, but Ye Wen put down her chopsticks angrily.
The others instantly lost their appetite. They wanted to bring Lin Yin back to reunite, not let her suffer all kinds of criticism.
Lin Yin did not react. She had long expected such a thing.
In her previous life, when she arrived at the Su Family, she was also mocked. Later on, in order to please Chu Yun, she wanted to register for an advanced etiquette class, but this matter was left unsettled.
She was much more at ease now that she had encountered such a thing in this life.
Lin Yin didn’t say anything and just continued eating. There was no need for her to stop for someone who didn’t like her.
Mu Ran slammed his chopsticks on the table and leaned against the back of the chair in a roguish manner, sitting on the entire chair tightly. He even deliberately turned the spoon back and smiled. “What lousy rules and etiquette? It can still be called elegant art. Grandma, if you can’t stand me eating, you can name and shame me. I’ll leave immediately!”
In order to show that Sun Yun was talking about him, Mu Ran picked up the soup bowl at the side and slurped it. He ate without chewing at all. After drinking it, he said with a satisfied expression, “There are only things in this soup that don’t need to be chewed. What’s there to chew? How troublesome!”
Mu Xiao also silently held the tip of his chopsticks and smiled. “Actually, I think it’s quite easy to pick up food with the tip of the chopsticks. It’s just to fill my stomach. There’s no need to be too serious.”
Sun Yun was really angry. She pointed at Ye Wen and scolded angrily, “Look at the children you gave birth to. They have bad habits in their bones. I don’t Imow if it’s because of their genes, but they don’t follow any rules! You’ve made the good Mu Family so foul.”
After suffering from the loss just now, Sun Yun did not dare to say anything about Lin Yin’s upbringing. This would be directly talking about Ye Wen’s genetic problems.
Mu Cheng said in a low voice, “Mom! Can’t you say less and let everyone have a good reunion meal?”
Sun Yun slammed his chopsticks on the table. “There can’t be anything without rules. In some things, compromising once will mean you have to compromise every time. Without etiquette, there’s no difference to a vulgar villager. If outsiders find out, won’t they laugh at our Mu Family for being ill-bred and indulgent of the younger generation?”
Lin Yin put down the chopsticks in her hand and smiled at Sun Yun. “Since Old Madam Mu doesn’t welcome a vulgar person like me, I’d better leave.”
With that, Lin Yin stood up and prepared to leave.
Mu Ran stood up at the same time as Lin Yin. This atmosphere was simply too annoying. He would rather go out to eat at a roadside stall with Lin Yin than continue to be bullied inside.
Ye Wen stood up anxiously and pulled Lin Yin back. She seemed to want to leave with Lin Yin.
Mu Kun frowned and finally said, “Sit down! It’s just a family banquet. There’s no need for so many rules and etiquette. Just be comfortable.”
“Mu Kun, what do you mean? You got someone to teach me these etiquettes back then. A total of eight teachers surrounded me and taught me. In the end, you’re just telling me to do whatever’s comfortable now?” Sun Yun looked at Mu Kun with wide eyes.
Back then, Sun Yun was the only daughter of the family, so she was raised by her parents and was a little arrogant. She did not know what etiquette was at all.
Later on, when she married into the Mu Family, she was scolded by the elders of the Mu Family. Mu Kun hired eight etiquette teachers and made her learn for nearly half a year, almost driving her crazy.
In the end, Mu Kun actually said such words in front of everyone. This made Sun Yun feel uncomfortable.
Faced with Sun Yun’s question, Mu Kun only said calmly, “There are some rules that you have to learn as the mistress of the Mu family.”
Sun Yun was so angry that her fingers trembled a few times. Mu Ning quickly calmed Sun Yun down and said worriedly, ‘Grandma, don’t be angry. Your body won’t be able to take it..”
