"Hiss... Ha... Do you smell it? What is that smell? Why is it so fragrant?" A few women who were chatting at the entrance of the village were gossiping about the neighbors. Suddenly, a strong fragrance wafted over, making people salivate.

"Oh, it's true! This smell... is amazing! Whose family is making this delicious food?" The other woman also sniffed hard, her eyes lit up, and she looked around, wishing she could follow the fragrance.

"Come on, let's go and take a look! It's noon now, and the smell makes me hungry!" The women agreed immediately and followed the smell to find the place.

At this time, Chen Xiaoru and Zhou Si were still immersed in their sweet world of two, and had no idea that the aroma of their braised large intestines had spread throughout half of the village, let alone that a group of "foodies" were coming over following the smell.

The two of them cuddled for a while, and Chen Xiaoru suddenly slapped her forehead: "Oh! I was so busy messing with you that the large intestine is still in the pot! Don't let it get overcooked!"

Zhou Si also came to his senses, and the two of them hurried to the stove. When they lifted the lid of the pot, a richer aroma hit them, mixed with the aroma of the marinade, making them simply unable to stop.

"Wow, this tastes amazing!" Chen Xiaoru couldn't help but admire it and poked it with her chopsticks. "Hmm, it's cooked just right!"

As he was speaking, footsteps were heard outside the courtyard gate, followed by Chen Laizi's signature loud voice: "Girl! Is it okay? I can smell this smell all over the village!"

"Dad, you're back." Chen Xiaoru walked out of the kitchen with a smile.

Mother Chen also followed into the yard, with a look of surprise on her face: "Oh, this smells so good!"

Zhou Si stood aside, looking at Chen Xiaoru, his eyes full of pride. His wife was really amazing, whatever she cooked could be smelled delicious!

Chen Xiaoru chuckled, but before she could say anything, she heard a noise coming from outside the courtyard gate.

"Chen Laizi, what delicious food are you making at home? Let us go in and have a look!"

"Yes, yes, this fragrance is so delicious!"

They exchanged glances. Chen Laizi slowly walked to the door, opened it a crack, and slammed it shut, leaving everyone bewildered.

"Hey! Chen Laizi, what are you doing? Open the door!"

"That's right, let's see what the scent is!"

The women outside the door were getting anxious. This Chen Laizi was really keeping them in suspense!

Chen Laizi chuckled from inside the doorway and shouted at the top of his voice, "What else could that smell be? You saw me buy a lot of pig intestines today. What else could it be? Of course it's the smell of pig intestines!"

"Impossible! Pig intestines? You're kidding!" A sharp voice immediately retorted, "Pig intestines, that stuff stinks, everyone knows that! How can it smell so good? Do you think we've never seen the world?"

"That's right! That's right!" another woman echoed, "Chen Laizi, stop talking nonsense! This aroma, it's definitely not pig intestines! It must be something rare!"

"Chen Laizi, are you hiding something good that you don't want us to know?"

The questioning voices outside the door came one after another, each one louder than the last.

Mother Chen put her hands on her hips, walked to the gate, flung it open with a bang, and glared at the group of women outside. She said bluntly, "What? Do I have to tell you what I'm cooking at home? If you can't stand the smell, get out of here! You all have noses sharper than dogs!"

Chen's mother is a notorious brat in the village, and no one wants to mess with her. If the fragrance wasn't so tempting, they wouldn't come over with licking faces.

Now, I can smell the fragrance but can’t see the thing. I can’t leave or stay. I’m in a dilemma.

"Why do all of you have noses like dogs?"

Standing at the door, Chen's mother looked like a door god, blocking the women who wanted to peek in.

"Sister-in-law Chen, why are you cursing when you say that?"

A woman who usually didn't get along well with Chen's mother immediately became unhappy and retorted sharply.

"Swearing? I didn't mention anyone by name. If anyone comes forward, it's not my fault!"

Mother Chen snorted coldly, her eyes narrowed, and she looked very imposing.

"you……"

The woman was so choked that she couldn't utter a word and her face turned red.

"Alright, alright, stop talking!"

Seeing this, another woman hurried out to smooth things over, "Sister-in-law Chen, that's not what we meant. It's just that the aroma is so fragrant that we're so curious. We want to ask what delicious food you have made at home?"

"Yes, yes, we are all from the same village. If there is anything delicious, let us open our eyes!"

The other women also echoed and their tone softened.

When Chen's mother saw that they had given in, her expression softened a little, but she still had no intention of letting them in.

"Want to know?"

Mother Chen deliberately prolonged her voice to whet their appetite.

"I want to! I want to! I want to!"

The women stretched their necks one by one, like a group of chicks waiting to be fed.

"If you want to know...I won't tell you!"

Chen's mother slammed the door shut again, leaving a group of stunned women outside.

"Hey! You..."

"Really? How stingy!"

"If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. Who cares?"

The women were so angry that they stamped their feet, but they could do nothing but grumble in low voices outside the door.

Chen Laizi was listening inside the door and laughed out loud with joy.

His wife's trick is really amazing!

I can vent my anger and whet their appetite at the same time. Let's see if they dare to gossip behind my back again!
