"Luo Shaoze, I finally understand you. We've been brothers for so many years, yet you're so petty. I misjudged you before."
Luo Shaoze rolled his eyes at Yan Cheng and said, "So what if we're brothers? Even brothers should settle accounts. Everything else is fine, but eating for free is out of the question!"
Luo Shaoze had to bring his own food, so he wouldn't allow Yan Cheng to eat for free. Don't even think about it.
Li Miaomiao listened to the conversation outside and found their way of getting along quite interesting.
"Miaomiao, what do you think of my mutton? I just got it from the countryside today."
Yan Cheng is no longer unfamiliar with calling Li Miaomiao "sister-in-law". He follows Luo Shaoze and calls her Miaomiao, treating her like a sister.
Li Miaomiao saw the mutton and said, "This mutton is fresh. How about I make some cumin mutton tonight?"
This kind of mutton is very fresh and is also good for making mutton soup. However, Li Miaomiao has already made a pheasant stewed with mushrooms in the evening, so there is no need to make a soup. It is better to use the barbecue method to make cumin mutton, which tastes delicious.
"Okay, Miaomiao, whatever you want, I can make it. With your cooking skills, everything you make will taste good."
Luo Shaoze looked at Yan Cheng with contempt. It was a pity that this guy laughed at him. He was not a foodie. Don’t think that he didn’t see Yan Cheng’s greedy look. He said it with a serious face. It was obvious that he wanted to eat very much.
Pei Guoan and Zhou Shao also came back in the evening. It was almost dark when they got home, and they smelled a strong fragrance.
"Is this roast lamb?"
After a busy day without touching the ground and even a few sips of water, he smelled such a fragrance. Even a self-restrained person like Zhou Shao could not help but
Pei Guoan knew when he saw Yan Cheng and Luo Shaoze that the mutton must have been brought by them.
"It's probably roasted lamb. It smells really good. Looks like we'll have another good meal tonight."
Pei Guoan was just as busy as Zhou Shao all day. He ate two steamed buns at noon. When he got home and smelled the fragrance, he thought that only Li Miaomiao could make this kind of buns.
"Now that you're all back, stop standing there and wash your hands and have dinner. Tonight's meal is very sumptuous. Brother Luo brought a lot of vegetables, and Brother Yan also brought a lot of mutton. I'm sure you'll enjoy it to your heart's content."
Such delicious food naturally requires good wine, and Li Miaomiao had already prepared the wine for them.
"If I could eat like this every day, it would be like a paradise."
Zhou Shao felt more and more that he had made the right choice in choosing this girl. Not only did she have the ability to bring him honor, but her cooking skills were probably better than anyone else's in Jiang Province.
"Before drinking, you should all have a bowl of soup to warm your stomachs. I was lucky today. I came across a pheasant seller while shopping for groceries. I bought two and stewed them over low heat this afternoon. They've been stewing for a while now, and the flavor has really come out."
Upon hearing this, several people filled a bowl of soup. Pheasant stewed with mushrooms is a delicious dish in itself, and the one made by Li Miaomiao is so delicious.
It was another night of overeating. Even Zhou Shao, who had been well-educated since childhood and had to follow the rules and regulations for eating, didn't care at all at this time and was too lazy to restrain himself. He just drank and ate meat to his heart's content.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Miaomiao put all the prepared dishes in a lunch box and urged Luo Shaoze: "Hurry up and send the dishes back. I prepared two servings for you. The one in the lunch box is for your uncle and aunt. The portion is just right, not too much. I also brought another one in a bamboo basket, which is for Uncle Jiang."
Seeing that Li Miaomiao had made such thorough preparations, Luo Shaoze thanked her several times.
"Miao Miao, you are the best. You have prepared everything for me. This is the best."
There were so many ingredients today, and Li Miaomiao didn't let him take more back. Luo Shaoze knew that Li Miaomiao had taken his words from the morning to heart. If he brought too much, his parents wouldn't be able to finish it, and that would be a bargain for those ungrateful people. The portion should be just right.
"Then I'll go back."
After dinner, Zhou Shao did not leave. Instead, he called Li Miaomiao and went into the study.
Li Miaomiao knew that things must have progressed.
"So, did you find out what happened with that address?"
"We've found out. That address was once occupied by someone on the other side of the sea for a while. That person was the contact between Cheng Man and Sister Zhou. When Cheng Man was contacting them, she was caught by Old Man Wang and tracked to that address. Later, the contact must have realized that he was exposed and evacuated before we could find him."
"Have you confirmed that Cheng Man and Sister Zhou are the same person?"
"Very sure, but Sister Zhou used a replacement method, while Cheng Man was converted by the people over there. Cheng Man even took advantage of her own family. Although the last kidnapping was planned by Sister Zhou, Cheng Man also played a role in it."
"That's her own son, how could she have the heart to kill him?"
Li Miaomiao couldn't believe it. How could there be such a cruel mother who could be so cruel to her son?
"People trained on the other side of the sea don't have any humanity left. Besides, it was just a show, meant to scare Old Man Wang, but they weren't going to actually do anything to the child. Cheng Man initially disagreed, but eventually cooperated. Without her cooperation, the kidnapping operation wouldn't have gone so smoothly. It's just that what happened later was beyond their expectations."
"No wonder Mr. Wang reacted like that that day. It makes sense. With Cheng Man around, and Mr. Wang worried about his grandson, he didn't dare say anything. He could only pretend to be sick to let Cheng Man down."
"It's a good thing you noticed something was wrong, otherwise we wouldn't have suspected Cheng Man. This woman is just as scheming as Sister Zhou, and she's been lurking for so many years."
"Is that child Cheng Man's biological child?"
Li Miaomiao suddenly had a doubt.
"The child is undoubtedly Cheng Man's biological child, but it was Grandpa Wang who took care of the child more. It's said that Cheng Man was always very busy and would only go home after work every day, so it was Grandpa Wang who had a deeper relationship with the child."
"What about Mr. Wang's son? The person next to him is from that side. Doesn't he realize anything is wrong?"
It was easier for Cheng Man to hide it from Mr. Wang, but she really couldn't reveal any flaws in front of the person next to her. Li Miaomiao felt that Wang Zhen was not such a careless person, especially after such a thing happened at home.
"We are still verifying this, but no matter what the results are, Wang Zhen will inevitably be implicated. It's just a matter of the degree of his involvement."
Even Li Miaomiao suspected Wang Zhen, not to mention the organization. No one believed that he had slept with Cheng Man in the same bed for so many years but had not noticed anything abnormal about her.
The more likely possibility is that even if Wang Zhen discovered it, he would not want to say it, whether it was for beauty or for his son. Such a person is a dangerous element even if he has not been converted by the people on the other side of the sea.
