Chapter 41: Not Afraid of Her Man Exhausting Himself to Death
"If you want dad to wake up earlier, you have to rely on the medicine I prepare for him and the chicken soup to nourish his body. But dad can't drink meat now. On the other hand, you are thin and small, so you must eat more so that you can grow up quickly. In the future, you will become the man of the family, stand on your own feet, and reduce some of the burden on dad." Cen Yan touched his head and explained the truth to him in a gentle voice.
Since her grandparents don’t love her younger brother, let her love him well!
Upon hearing this, Cen Yang frowned seriously. After thinking for a while, he nodded heavily.
"Sister, I get it! I must eat more and grow taller!" he said sensibly.
"You're so good. Take it and drink it. Eat up all the chicken in it." Cen Yan stuffed the bowl to Cen Yang. When she served the soup, she didn't put any bones in it, but she put a lot of meat in it. This way, if the eldest wife and her friends came to cause trouble, they would definitely not find a single chicken bone.
"Then sister, you and mom should drink too later!" Cen Yang took the bowl and did not forget to give instructions before drinking.
"Don't worry, I'll serve you a bowl right away." Cen Yan felt his brother's thoughtfulness and patted his head. He took the bowl of chicken soup from Li's hand and added some meat. "Mom, drink it quickly. If you're late and someone sees it, I'll be scolded."
"What about your father?" Li was worried that Cen Dahai would be hungry.
"I'm here, you don't have to worry." Cen Yan said as he served himself a small bowl of chicken soup.
After drinking the chicken soup, Cen Yan went to the kitchen to boil medicine for Cen Dahai.
During this time, Yu came and saw her there, then left without saying a word.
Cen Yan stared at her figure, opened the lid of the porcelain basin on the stove, took a look, and then closed the lid again.
After a while, Cen Ying came over with a few greasy bowls, threw them on the stove, and said arrogantly, "Wash these bowls and chopsticks."
After saying that, she left.
As soon as she entered the main room, Gao came over with dishes and chopsticks.
Gao has always been a person who is good at dealing with people.
At this moment, she smiled gently, chatting with Cen Yan and putting the dishes on the stove: "Xiao Yan, your uncle went to hoe the fields this morning and did your father's part of the work. Now he is complaining about shoulder pain and asked me to massage his shoulders. Please help me wash these dishes."
It's hard to disagree with the level of his speech.
When she said that, it seemed like the second house owed their first house a favor. It was just helping to wash the dishes, which was not considered any hard work.
As for whether Cen Dajiang helped Cen Dahai with the work, who cares?
Anyway, let me say this first.
Cen Yan admired Gao's ability to talk to different people and different stories to different people from the bottom of her heart, but Gao had coaxed and deceived her into getting married to Wei Zan when she was ignorant and confused, which ruined her life. There was no way she would not remember Gao for this grudge!
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Cen Yan was not going to completely break up with Gao for the time being, so she agreed very kindly: "Okay, let's leave it there for now."
"Thank you for your hard work." Gao said something nice to her again and turned back to the main room.
After a while, Yu came to the kitchen again.
But when he saw Cen Yan was still decocting the medicine, he turned around and left without saying a word.
A person who usually wouldn't even go into the kitchen when it wasn't her turn to cook, came here frequently today. Cen Yan didn't believe that Yu had no ulterior motives.
After Cen Dahai's medicine was boiled, Cen Yan poured it out and placed it on the stove to wait for it to cool down, while she began to deal with the dishes to be washed.
At this time, Yu came again!
It seemed that he was calculating the time, thinking that the medicine was ready and Cen Yan should go back to her room, but when he looked over, he saw that she was actually washing dishes and chopsticks!
"Why is Cen Yan so diligent today? Not only did you boil medicine for your father, but you also washed the dishes and chopsticks from the main and second rooms. If I had known, I would have brought the dishes and chopsticks from the third room for you to wash together." Yu said in a weird tone.
"My grandparents are in the main house. As their granddaughter, I should respect them and wash the dishes for them. My aunt from the first house said that my uncle helped my father this morning while working in the fields. So I should thank them on behalf of my father and help wash a few dishes for the first house. Then, aunt, you asked me to help wash the dishes for your third house. Does that mean my uncle is planning to work for my father these two days?" Cen Yan replied.
"Bah! Cen Dajiang will work for your father? I don't believe her!" When Yu heard Gao still talking nonsense, she got so angry that she cursed out loud.
You have to know that she usually dislikes Gao's family the most. She is always good at sweet talk and coaxes the two old guys in the family to revolve around their eldest wife. She likes to take all the credit. Even at this time, she still doesn't forget to make up lies to get credit for herself!
Did you also do Cen Dahai’s share of the work?
Everyone in the family knows that Cen Dahai does more work than the first and third wives combined!
You dare to say such big words, aren't you afraid that your man will be exhausted to death?
"You are such a stupid girl. Gao never tells the truth. Just because she says so, you believe her? She is just trying to coax you into washing the dishes for her!" Yu's face was filled with indignation.
But she said this not because she couldn't stand Gao's deception of Cen Yan, but because she felt that it was not enough for her to just curse her. She also wanted to drag Cen Yan to stand on the same front with her and curse Gao together. Only then would she feel satisfied!
However, how could Cen Yan not know that Gao was simply talking nonsense to deceive her?
It’s just that now is not the time to completely break off relations with the Gao family!
After all, her cancellation of the engagement might have to go through Gao's approval first.
Besides, if she didn't say that, how could she make Yu hate Gao even more?
"Oh, really? But I saw that my aunt said so, and also said that my uncle was so tired that his shoulders hurt. She must be massaging my uncle's shoulders right now! Forget it, it's just a few bowls anyway!" As Cen Yan said this, he had already finished washing all the bowls quickly.
The bowls were all covered in grease.
Cen Yan's hands were covered in oil and water, and he shook them vigorously in the direction of Yu.
"Where are you throwing it at! Are you blind or did you do it on purpose?!" Yu was splashed with dishwater all over her face. She was so angry that she cursed a few more times and quickly raised her sleeve to wipe it off.
"Oh, sorry, Third Aunt, I forgot. Let me help wipe it for you." Cen Yan said, and took the initiative to step forward and raise his hand to wipe Yu's face.
"What are you doing? Your hands are so dirty! Get away from me!" As soon as Yu saw her greasy hands, she pushed her away, but she didn't notice that Cen Yan took the opportunity to wipe her clothes twice.
Yu was unaware of this.
"Stay away if you can." Cen Yan's lips curled up quickly, and then curled her lips, "My father's medicine is ready, I'll go feed him the medicine."
