Chapter 98 Chaos

Grandma went upstairs to ask Yu Li and the others if they had finished packing, but she saw her granddaughter with her bottom sticking out, leaning against the door, doing something furtive.

Yu Li quickly turned around, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm checking how Qi Chenyan is getting ready. Grandma, you should prepare dinner, right? Let me help you."

Grandma swatted away Yu Li's outstretched hand.

“When Xixi was alive, she was the one who packed your clothes. Now that you’re married, you’re making your husband pack them for you. You’re such a hands-off husband.”

Yu Li straightened up without thinking, bracing herself for a scolding from her grandmother.

Although she was prepared, she did not intend to change.

Because she's genuinely clumsy and can't fold clothes properly, her folds are a mess and incredibly ugly, even she finds them repulsive.

When my best friend is around, she takes full responsibility.

Now that he has a husband, Qi Chenyan also has a serious case of mysophobia. The clothes in his walk-in closet are either hanging or folded, and they are very neat and tidy.

In the first few days, Yu Li would be reserved and fold her own clothes.

But she folded the clothes very badly and didn't want Qi Chenyan to see them, afraid that he would laugh at her, so she just stuffed the badly folded clothes into the empty wardrobe.

When she looked for clothes to wear the next day, she was surprised to find that the clothes that had been haphazardly folded were now neatly arranged in the closet.

Obviously, it's impossible for a housekeeper to tidy up such a private place; it could only be Qi Chenyan.

Yu Li believes that this is God's way of preventing her from learning the skill of folding clothes.

After her best friend, her husband took over. Since they all folded them neatly and beautifully, why should she waste her time and energy?

Unexpectedly, Grandma suddenly leaned over and said in a low voice, "You've always been clumsy with your hands. The clothes you fold are worse than the ones you just grab and throw away. Xiao Yan is a good boy. He's clean. From now on, let him tidy up the clothes."

"But you can't just do nothing. At least you have to provide emotional support. After he's tidied up, praise him a lot. Men can't resist praise. If you praise him, he'll take over all the housework."

Speaking of this, Grandma was full of experience: "When your grandfather was still alive, I did the same thing. I never cleaned the house in my entire life."

Yu Li chuckled and made a salute, "I promise to keep the family precepts firmly in mind."

The grandmother and grandson were whispering to each other when Qi Chenyan finished packing his clothes and opened the door. The two people who had been sneaking around whispering outside immediately separated.

Grandma spoke first: "Xiao Yan, do you have time? Do you know how to kill a chicken? Grandma will make chicken soup for you tonight."

Yu Li teased, "Grandma, you've finally decided to kill the old hen? Didn't you say before that you could only kill the old hen during the New Year? I see, there are still several months until the New Year. If you kill it now, the old hen might not be used to it."

Grandma gave Yu Li a chestnut, saying, "Then I won't give it to you. Give it to my dutiful and sensible grandson-in-law."

"Grandma, I was wrong. Even just a sip of chicken soup would be nice."

Qi Chenyan smiled, "Don't worry, you can have all of mine."

Yu Li immediately raised her chin proudly, "Hehe, you didn't expect that, did you? My husband spoils me so much~"

At first, Qi Chenyan did not realize the seriousness of the process of eating a chicken soup.

When his grandmother took him to the chicken coop, and he saw a group of roosters and hens inside, his mind went blank for a moment.

Grandma opened the fence and said, "Xiao Yan, just go in and catch one, pick a fat one."

The chicken coop naturally exudes the most primitive smell. Although Grandma is very clean, chickens can't control their droppings, so there are still fresh droppings on the ground.

For someone as fastidious as Qi Chenyan, coupled with his illustrious family background, he had never seen a real chicken coop before today, let alone dared to go in and catch chickens himself.

He originally thought that chicken coops were like high-end stables, and were kept very clean.

But as soon as he stepped in, he felt as if his feet were covered in chicken droppings.

"Quick, quick, grab that one, the one on your right."

Grandma was directing Qi Chenyan from outside, and in order not to spoil the old lady's mood, he could only hold his breath and persevere.

However, Qi Chenyan clearly underestimated the hen's agility and speed, especially with other chickens nearby causing interference.

Moreover, he was a stranger. When he went in and grabbed something, it caused chaos in an instant, with chicken feathers flying everywhere.

The coop was filled with the sounds of flapping wings and clucking hens, creating a lively and bustling atmosphere.

As the only rooster in the henhouse, seeing his flock of hens and concubines running around in chaos, he immediately raised his comb and launched an attack on Qi Chenyan.

Qi Chenyan's attention was focused on the hen, and he was momentarily distracted when the rooster leaped up and pecked his calf.

Yu Li was originally boiling water in the kitchen. After the water was heated, she would put the slaughtered chicken in the water, which would allow it to quickly pluck its feathers.

But while the water was boiling, they heard a loud commotion outside.

Yu Li was still a little worried, thinking that Qi Chenyan probably had never caught a chicken before, and might not even have seen a chicken coop.

When they went over to take a look, they saw the rooster jump up and peck at Qi Chenyan's calf.

He stumbled, and a hen flew up and jumped directly onto his shoulder.

"Don't move!"

Yu Li immediately stepped forward and reached out to grab him.

Just then, with lightning speed, it grabbed the rooster by the neck.

Taking advantage of the situation, the hen flapped her wings and flew off Qi Chenyan's shoulder.

Grandma called from outside, "Oh, Lili, why are you catching the rooster? Catch the hen, the hen!"

"Grandma, don't worry, let me teach this blind rooster a lesson first."

Yu Li grabbed the rooster by the neck with one hand and stared at her with wide eyes.

"After raising you for so many years, don't you even have any sense of propriety? Do you even know who he is? He dares to peck at you if he jumps up."

While scolding him, Yu Li pointed the chicken's head at Qi Chenyan, scolding the chicken as if she were scolding a person.

"Open your chicken eyes and look carefully. This is my husband. How dare he peck at your male owner? He must be tired of living. If he pecks at you again, I'll pluck out your comb."

"Your concubines will despise you, ruthlessly abandon you, and go to find a new, mighty, and strong rooster that can fry chicken combs."

As she spoke, Yu Li patted the chicken's head, "Got it?"

The rooster seemed to understand human speech, clucking loudly.

Yu Li then reluctantly spared the rooster's life, and then turned her head away.

Qi Chenyan's attention was entirely on her, so much so that he didn't even see when she made her move and grabbed a hen by the neck.

"To catch a chicken, you must strike when it's off guard and kill it in one fell swoop. Did you learn that?"

Qi Chenyan felt that his wife was basking in the sunlight, radiating a confident and warm glow.
