After that, no one bothered Mo Yan anymore. Those who still wanted to stir up trouble all held their breath and waited for Mo Yan to make a fool of herself tomorrow. Mo Yan was able to have a peaceful afternoon.
Because Mo Cheng was still in the hospital, Mo Yan did not work overtime. When it was time, she clocked out and left.
Mo Cheng wanted to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, while Luo Tao ordered boiled fish and braised prawns. Mo Yan planned to go home first and cook the dishes before bringing them to the hospital for the two of them.
She did not know if Mo Cheng could eat these dishes given his condition and thought that it would be better if she were to add a vegetable dish. Then, she went to the market.
Last night, she was afraid that she would not have enough to pay for Mo Cheng’s stay in the hospital, so she borrowed 2,000 yuan from Xu Wan since she hadn’t gotten her salary for the month yet. What she did not expect was that Luo Tao did not ask her for more money, and the remaining money was enough to cover their expenses at the end of the month.
She picked a good fish and asked the boss to weigh it. Mo Yan had noticed this stall before. The boss was honest. He had always killed fish in front of the customers, so there would not be a situation where customers were charged more than the fishes were worth. After weighing the ribs and 2 catties of prawns, Mo Yan headed home.
These few dishes would take a lot of time to cook so she did not know if she would be able to catch the last bus.
It had rained yesterday, and the road was still wet. Mo Yan had to walk carefully.
Suddenly, a figure stopped in front of Mo Yan. Mo Yan stopped and looked up at the person.
“Luo Tao?”
The surprise in Mo Yan’s eyes made Luo Tao chuckle.
“Yes.”
Luo Tao took the dishes from Mo Yan’s hand and turned slightly. Mo Yan saw that there was someone following behind him.
“Cheng?” Mo Yan said in surprise and immediately went forward to hold Mo Cheng’s hand.
“Why are you discharged from the hospital already? Are you alright? Stay in the hospital for a few more days for observation.”
Mo Cheng smiled and said, “Sister, I’m really alright. Look at me. Moreover, you know that I don’t like hospitals.”
Indeed, ever since their mother was hospitalized, the siblings had not liked hospitals.
Mo Yan did not believe Mo Cheng’s words and turned to look at Luo Tao.
“Yes, the doctor said that he could go home.”
Actually, Luo Tao would have preferred if Mo Cheng were to stay at the hospital longer. The two of them were supposed to be alone, but now there was a little brat. He was quite annoyed .
“Sister, let’s go home quickly!”
Seeing that his brother-in-law was looking at him with increasingly unkind eyes, Mo Cheng hurriedly held onto Mo Yan’s hand and walked home.
The rented house, which was not very big to begin with, became even more crowded after Mo Cheng moved in. Mo Cheng was chased to clean up the house, and Mo Yan left Luo Tao in the kitchen.
Although Luo Tao and Mo Cheng were both kitchen killers, Luo Tao knew more than Mo Cheng. Somehow, Luo Tao had good knife skills.
With Luo Tao’s help, Mo Yan’s efficiency also increased a lot.
Not long after, they were done with the first dish, sweet and sour pork ribs. The fragrance floated out from the kitchen. Mo Cheng, who was originally wiping the table, floated to the kitchen door, waiting for the food to be served.
Without thinking, Mo Yan picked up a piece of pork ribs and brought it to Luo Tao’s mouth. Luo Tao took the opportunity to eat it, and his tongue was instantly scalded.
The etiquette that he had cultivated for a long time made Luo Tao unable to spit or bite. His entire body seemed to be frozen in place. Mo Yan was shocked to realize that she had done something stupid. She quickly asked Luo Tao to open his mouth and take it out. Then, she handed him a cup of cold boiled water.
Mo Cheng did not dare to make a sound. He hugged his stomach and could not straighten his back.
“I’d better leave you guys alone to continue flirting.”
Luo Tao felt the heat in his mouth gradually fade. He glanced at Mo Cheng lightly and made Mo Cheng completely stop.
With this awkwardness, Mo Yan did not let Luo Tao taste her food anymore. She chased both of them into the living area and busied herself.
In the living area, Mo Cheng and Luo Tao stared at each other. Mo Cheng glanced at his brother-in-law a few times, and could not help but continue teasing him.
“Brother-in-law, my sister’s cooking is delicious, right?”
It was not easy for Mo Cheng to hold back his laughter and say these words. He did not expect his brother-in-law to have such a side.
“It’s delicious. You can try the dishes later.” Luo Tao said calmly.
Mo Cheng waved his hands repeatedly. He had better be obedient! He did not want to be scalded like how Luo Tao was scalded just now.
During dinner, Mo Yan asked Luo Tao if Mo Cheng could eat such flavorful dishes. Luo Tao glanced at Mo Cheng. Without waiting for Luo Tao to speak, Mo Cheng opened his mouth and said, “I can! I fainted because I did not eat regularly. Sister, you have to nourish me properly.”
Looking at Mo Cheng’s energetic appearance, Mo Yan was relieved.
During the meal, she focused on eating. She decided to ask about the school violence later in the evening. Mo Cheng would stay here for the next two days and return to class after he recovered from his injuries.
