Chapter 14 He Cooked for Me
"You, you only know how to get jealous over nothing. If the child in Shi Shi's belly is gone, see how you explain that to our Chen family's ancestors!" Father-in-Law scolded Mother-in-Law a few times.
Then he came over, eager to please, and helped me sit down to the side.
I looked at him, satisfied, and acted delicate, cooing at him. "Thank you, Father-in-Law. Then can you cook today's meal? I want to try the way you cook too."
This move worked well on Father-in-Law.
He picked up the groceries from the floor at once and went into the kitchen, humming.
Mother-in-Law stood to the side, staring at me with resentment.
I pretended I had not seen it.
Chen Nan looked even more like he hated me.
He called to Mother-in-Law. "Mother-in-Law, get me a few painkillers. I will take them and go to work."
Mother-in-Law pulled her gaze off me, got the medicine, and brought it to him.
I watched the two of them looking like a loving mother and filial son, and I looked forward to the days ahead more and more.
