“You, a man, come over and take care of your wife. What time is it now? She still hasn’t come home? Tonight, whether it’s buying vegetables or cooking, it’s all done by me. This wife, could it be that she wants us old people and her man to starve to death?”
After Yun Shan got home from work, the Old Madam held her waist and began to complain.
The stove in the house in the county town was built quite high. The Old Madam was also very short. When she was cooking, she could not reach the stove at the side. In the end, she could only step on a small stool to start cooking, so her waist was also very tired and sore.
“What? Chen Li hasn’t returned home yet?”
Even though Yun Shan and Chen Li were in the middle of a cold war, when he thought that she had not returned home, his first reaction was not that she was unfilial, but that she might have met with some danger.
Therefore, their husband and wife relationship was still very good. It was just that the Old Madam had interfered, causing the husband and wife to frequently quarrel over some daily trivial matters. However, when he heard the Old Madam say that Chen Li had not come home, he became a little nervous.
“She hasn’t come home all this time?”
“No! She hasn’t come back all this time.”
As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Yun Shan began to search all over the house.
As expected, he did not see Chen Li.
Not only did he not see Chen Li, but he also did not see any of the three children at home.
“Mom, do you know where the children went?” Yun Shan asked worriedly.
“How would I know? Did they go to play together?”
The Old Madam did not care at all that the three children were not at home. After all, the three children could not do anything for her, but Chen Li was the labor force of the family.
“Alright, they should be back soon. Sit down and eat first! I have finished eating, now I will take out some for the old man to eat.”
The Old Madam left some leftovers for them.
Today, the food at home was cabbage and potatoes, and there was a little oil in the vegetable soup. The old lady still picked out the cabbage leaves to eat. Now, there were only some cabbage leaves left in the big basin.
It turned out that the dishes that were not very good could get worse.
Yun Shan did not have the heart to pick up the chopsticks now. He had been worried about these people.
However, in the next second, these four people stepped into the house at the same time. Moreover, Yun Yang and Yun Qiao were still chattering non-stop.
“Cousin, Chef Guo’s culinary skills are really not bad. How could he have thought of using purple perilla leaves to wrap the lamb with cumin? It’s really fragrant and refreshing. It’s delicious and not greasy at the same time.”
Yun Qiao began to drool when she heard these words.
“Yes, yes! There’s also that lettuce. After dipping it in the special sauce to eat it, it even tastes like meat.”
Although Yun Qiao was a little older, she was still a child at times.
On this matter, he and Yun Yang were in the same state of mind. The two of them had been discussing the matter and were very satisfied with the meal they had had today.
“Hey, you guys still know to come back?”
The Old Madam also heard what they were saying. It turned out that these people had not come home because they had gone out to eat. The Old Madam’s heart was very sour and bitter.
“Why didn’t you bring mom along when you went out to eat? We were still waiting for you to come home, and the dishes have already been prepared.” Yun Shan’s words were somewhat reproachful, he felt that if these people went out to eat delicious food, it would be unfilial not to bring the elders along.
“I wouldn’t dare. Didn’t you say that you all ate like this when you were young? I said that I would cook some other food for the family, but mom kept refusing. She just said that she could eat these things. Then how could I refuse her? Then only a few of us can eat the food outside.”
Chen Li finally hardened her resolve and started to scold Yun Shan according to what Yun Xi had taught her.
“Did you steal the money that I put in the money box? Otherwise, how could you people have the money to go out and eat?”
The Old Madam did not care about what they ate outside. She was more concerned about the money in her hands.
“That’s not true. My mother was also hired by Boss Jing. In a few days, Boss Jing will open a new shop and invite my mother to be a shopkeeper there. Boss Jing is treating us to this meal.”
Yun Yang rolled his eyes at the Old Madam
The Old Madam saw that the child could be so disrespectful to her and quickly glared at her son with resentment.
“Yun Yang, how can you talk to your grandmother like that?” Yun Shan received the signal and began to scold Yun Yang.
