"Are we still getting a divorce?"
Her rough husband threatened her while gripping her waist. She had no choice but to beg for mercy, "No, we're not getting a divorce, we'r...
After settling the wages of the garment factory workers, Ye Yun felt a huge weight lifted off her shoulders. When she returned home, Gu Jin and Qin Zheng had already prepared dinner and immediately invited her to eat.
Gu Yingying also arrived.
Seeing Ye Yun and Qin Zheng sitting together, Gu Yingying glared at Gu Jin with resentment and anger at his lack of ambition.
Oh, her brother is sitting on the other side of Qin Zheng.
That's alright then.
At least her brother didn't lose too badly.
Dinner was stewed chicken with potatoes. Every time Gu Yingying came, she would bring a whole chicken, and Gu Jin would buy potatoes instead, saying that this was Gu Yingying's favorite dish since she was a child.
Their parents were never home, so it was always him, as the older brother, who took care of Gu Yingying.
Gu Yingying was a little girl but had a lot of problems. She was a very picky eater when she was young and didn't like to eat. The nursery aunties couldn't do anything about her, so Gu Jin would buy ingredients and cook for Gu Yingying himself.
Later, he discovered that Gu Yingying liked potatoes, so he came up with ways to cook potatoes.
They make all sorts of dishes, from stir-fried shredded potatoes to stewed potato chunks, in sour and spicy flavors, in all sorts of different ways.
Later, I discovered that eating only potatoes doesn't provide any nutrition.
So he stewed chicken with potatoes, and to his surprise, Gu Yingying liked it quite a bit. Later, Gu Yingying also started boarding school and gradually returned home less often, but Gu Jin would almost always stew chicken and potatoes for her every time she came home.
Gu Jin might not be able to cook other things, but he was a master at making braised chicken and potatoes.
"Eat meat, Ye Yun, eat more." Gu Jin said while serving food to Gu Yingying, reminding Ye Yun.
Qin Zheng had already given the best meat from his bowl to Ye Yun, and then gave Gu Jin a cold glance, saying, "Does my wife need your pity?"
"Tch," Gu Jin scoffed, "What are you saying? Wouldn't it be better if there was another person who cared about your wife?"
Qin Zheng: "You have ulterior motives."
Gu Yingying also complained, "Brother, that's your love rival, why are you being so nice to her!"
Tian Xiaohui was completely bewildered upon hearing this.
Gu Jin patted Gu Yingying's head and smiled gently, "Good girl, if you love him, you should love everything about him."
Clatter! Tian Xiaohui dropped her chopsticks.
Tian Xiaohui stared at Gu Jin in shock, then looked at Qin Zheng, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Ahem..." Gu Jin guiltily placed a piece of chicken on her plate. "Don't just stare at me, eat!"
Gu Yingying frowned instantly, her questioning gaze shifting between Tian Xiaohui and Gu Jin. Suddenly, she spoke up: "Tian Xiaohui, do you have the ability to make a man who likes men like women again?"
"Huh?" Tian Xiaohui was stunned.
Gu Yingying looked her up and down and clicked her tongue, "Forget it, you're so big and burly, you don't seem to fit my brother's aesthetic standards for women."
Tian Xiaohui opened her mouth.
*Smack!* Gu Jin tapped Gu Yingying's forehead with her chopsticks. "You know your brother so well?"
"Ouch..." Gu Yingying covered her head and muttered in dissatisfaction, "That's right, before you met Brother Qin Zheng, didn't you say you liked petite and cute girls..."
Tian Xiaohui suddenly glared at Gu Jin.
If eyes could shoot fire... Ye Yun quickly shoveled rice into her mouth, her chopsticks clattering against the bowl, and hurriedly called to Qin Zheng, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, otherwise if a fight breaks out, this table will be overturned and there won't be any food left!"
Qin Zheng was more decisive.
He quickly shoveled some chicken and potato chunks into the bowl, picked up the bowl with one hand, and took Ye Yun's wrist with the other to stand up: "Leave the love and hate to them, let's go back inside."
"..."
Well done!
