Then, she looked at Zhou Qiqi and tentatively suggested:
"Sister Qiqi, why don't you go and boil some water first? Auntie's health is the most important thing, we need to settle her in first, and she can't miss taking her medicine."
Her tone sounded very helpless, as if she had no other choice but to make this arrangement.
Hearing this, Zhou Qiqi's anger flared up instantly.
This is He Wanrou!
From the moment I stepped into her yard, I was acting like the lady of the house!
She used to tell her in-laws where to sit, and she used to tell Shen Huaichuan what to do. Now she's even telling her what to do.
Ask her to boil water?!
What makes her so special?
Moreover, she figured it out.
This woman did it on purpose!
Under the guise of "taking care of the nanny," they sent Shen Huaichuan away to create opportunities for the two of them to be alone, or even to have physical contact!
At the same time, she sent Zhou Qiqi to do manual labor, thus confirming her status as an outsider in front of her in-laws, while she herself was the one taking care of the family!
Moreover, ever since this woman appeared, she has been launching one attack after another, each move linked to the next, leaving no room for the other to even catch their breath!
Zhou Qiqi was holding her breath, thinking about how to retort.
He Wanrou, however, seemed to see through her reluctance and preemptively asked with a face full of "concern":
"What's wrong, little Qiqi?"
She paused deliberately, then presented two extremely tricky choices:
"Is it because... you've never used a coal stove in the city before and don't know how to use it? Or maybe you've never done this kind of work much in the village? It's okay, just tell me, and I'll teach you!"
After saying that, he blinked and waited for Zhou Qiqi's reply with a concerned look on his face.
But Zhou Qiqi immediately realized that both of these options were traps set for her!
If you admit you can't burn things, you're confirming that you can't do anything at all.
If you admit you've never done any work, then you're just lazy and ignorant.
Whichever option you choose, it will only create a worse impression on your in-laws.
Zhou Qiqi was about to retort with a cold laugh, but before she could finish speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up, and she changed her mind instantly.
She suppressed her anger, even forcing a sweet smile, and said softly:
"Sister He, I know how to boil water. I'll go right now. You and Huaichuan can go take care of Auntie. I'll be back soon."
