Chapter 21: Repairing the Relationship with He Yu Shui
nd said, "We chefs rely on our skills. If you don't have the skill, it won't matter where you go. In other words, as long as I finish my work well, no one can find fault with me! Liu might slander me...Looking at Mother-in-law Jia Zhang with that self-righteous look, Qin Huairu only felt a headache. Every time something embarrassing happened, it was her, the daughter-in-law, who had to face it. If you're so capable, why don't you do it yourself
"No more, there won't be any lunch boxes from now on! He Yu Zhu already made it clear to me. He doesn't owe our family anything, so why should he give us a lunch box It's fine that he gave us some before, but now not even one lunch box!"
Jia Zhang was so angry she started to tremble: “He's the only one living in that house, and his sister now has a job too. Both siblings have salaries. Our family has so many mouths to feed, why shouldn't he contribute”
The daughter-in-law's meager wages are barely enough to support the whole family. If Sha Zhu really stopped bringing lunch boxes, what would they eat all year round Wouldn't she and her adorable grandson have to eat those awful cornmeal cakes every day
Qin Huaiyu lifted her work uniform and unbuttoned the undershirt, feeding Xiao Huahua who was held in her arms, and said in a low voice: "He's made up his mind. Don't expect much from that old man, he's useless! Yesterday evening, the old man already had him make things clear, but people just don't want to. Could our family force him to bring us lunch boxes"
Jia Zhang's anger grew with every thought. She turned her head and immediately vented her fury at Qin Huairu: "Have you become more temperamental lately You dare to talk back to me You think you're so high and mighty, well then, don't expect to have dinner tonight!"
Her loud voice startled Xiaohua, the baby in Qin Huaiyu's arms. The little girl cried out in fright, and Xiao Dang beside her also started to sob.
Jia Zhang glared fiercely at the three of them: "Crying, crying, all you do is cry! You two are worthless burdens. If you cry again, I'll send you and your mother back to the countryside! You three are jinxes! Get as far away from here as possible! If it weren't for you marrying into our family, Dongxu wouldn't have left so quickly! My poor Dongxu~~~~"
The necromancer, muttering and grumbling, began to summon spirits with a whimper in his voice.
Qin Huaiyu was very wronged. She had to work during the day, and when she returned to the courtyard, she had to feed her children and take care of housework. She was busy inside and out, and she still had to endure this mother-in-law's anger.
Even with a lunchbox, all the good food was divided by her mother-in-law and son. As a mother herself and as the eldest daughter Xiaodang, she could only pick up the scraps. What on earth was she trying to achieve in this life
As she saw what He Yuzhu had said to her before begining to come true, and thought about the days ahead, Qin Huaiyu's heart turned cold.
Seeing her youngest daughter crying so hard that her lips trembled, the widowed woman's heart, which she had built up to be strong and impenetrable, began to soften slightly. If even her mother-in-law didn't treat her as a human being and wanted to banish her and her daughter to the countryside, why should she stay in the Jia family and keep this useless chastity archway
Besides, she had just recently harvested the Chinese acacia flowers and her body hadn't fully recovered when this mother-in-law forced her to get an IUD. How could this be considered treating her as a good daughter-in-law
Since you've done the first, don't blame yourself for being able to do the fifteenth!
.......
He Yuzhu is currently in the house, nibbling on a system-optimized tomato.
Today Lou Xiaogua went back to her parents' home, so he didn't bother going to the deaf old woman's place anymore. His main tactic was "don't show the rabbit, don't release the eagle."
The dinner included two cold dishes, two hot dishes, and a soup. The cold dishes were cucumber salad and braised duck gizzards. The hot dishes were red-braised pork and thin-skinned green pepper scrambled eggs. In addition to a pig's trotters soup, this meal was already incredibly lavish.
Everything is ready-made, he doesn't have to do anything himself. When he cooks his own meals, he secretly scoops two spoonfuls into his lunchbox and in the blink of an eye, it disappears into the space. He's very good at this. Now he takes out this braised pork and pig's trotters soup, it's still steaming hot!
Well, I'll go to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative tomorrow to buy a few more lunch boxes. They'll definitely come in handy!
Shortly afterward, footsteps could be heard at the door.
"Hey bro, is dinner ready I'm starving! Last week you promised to cook me a delicious meal!"
He Yuzhu turned his head and saw his sister He Yushui walking in with a schoolbag on her back.
The little girl is tall and has two pigtails. She has a melon-shaped face and is pretty, but she's a little thin.
"Look at what you're saying, when has your brother ever spoken out of turn"
"Look at how you still have such a good heart," He Yuzhu said, pointing at the table.
"Wow! Braised pork, braised duck gizzards, and pig's trotters soup! Huh Why isn't there chili in the braised pork And why is there goji berry in the soup"
Saying this, He Yu Shui stretched out her hand and plucked a piece of braised duck gizzards. After tasting it, her eyes lit up: “Delicious! It's just that the taste isn't quite the same as before. Brother, when did you change your cooking style”
Although Lao He's cooking skills were passed down through the male line, He Daqing still often took his daughter to cook when he was alive. The little girl learned a thing or two by watching and is quite familiar with everything in the kitchen.
He Yuzhu smiled and said, "You're so dirty! Wash your hands quickly! You're not allowed to eat without washing your hands!"
He Yu Shui let out an "oh" and obediently ran outside to wash her hands clean.
When He Yuzhu returned, he had already set out two sets of bowls and chopsticks. He Yu Shui sat down and tasted each dish again, becoming even more curious: "Brother, what are you trying to do Dad didn't teach you to cook like this before, did he"
He Yuzhu was amused and exasperated: “What are you mumbling about Today, some guests from Guangdong came to the factory. This is a special meal prepared for them. To cater to their taste buds, we have to make some modifications, don't we”
He Yushu pouted: "So it wasn't specially prepared for me in the end"
He Yuzhu tasted a mouthful of braised pork with relish and laughed, "You little brat learned to be picky now Other people wouldn't even touch it, your brother wouldn't dare to eat it either. If you don't want it, just let me have all the dumplings!"
These ingredients have all been optimized by the system and taste delicious!
Looking at this table of dishes, it seems like the portions haven't decreased much. He Yushu's eyes twirled, and she asked again: "Didn't you send some to the Jia family next door"
He Yuzhu waved his hand: "What's the point of giving them things I've been helping them out for so long, I think that's enough. From now on, we go our separate ways, nobody should bother each other!"
Today, he was determined to repair his relationship with his sister.
Don't look at He Yu Shui now, calling everyone "ge" (older brother). If she were like the original person, she would only care about Qin Widow's family and neglect this little sister. In no time, this girl would drift away from her.
Luckily, it's still early. This little girl's heart hasn't turned cold yet, there's still time to make amends!, when did this Silly Zhu become so good at cooking Cantonese cuisine........Liu Yan walked with the wind, jogging all the way back to the kitchen. She lifted the white curtain and shouted at He Yuzhu...
