Chapter 386 I Can’t Stand the Hunger
"Old man, stop wandering back and forth. Sit down and wait. It won't be long before the delicious food is served." Old Mrs. Chen was also very hungry, but she still gritted her teeth and swallowed her saliva in order to have a delicious meal.
"Aren't you hungry, old lady? How about I go out and see what they have prepared? If that doesn't work, we can just have a simple meal."
Old Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes at him angrily. "Why are you in such a hurry? What kind of guest would go to someone else's kitchen to urge for food? If you urge them, they won't cook the meat or stew the ribs, but will just bring up a bowl of vegetables. Do you want to eat it or not?"
"Oh, old woman, as long as I can fill my stomach now, even if it's just a bowl of mixed flour steamed bread, I'll find it particularly delicious."
Old man Chen was so hungry that he felt dizzy and weak, and felt light-headed.
He really didn't want to endure it any longer, but he didn't dare disobey Old Lady Chen, so he had to sit down with his head down and continue waiting.
Who knew that after waiting for a long time, Chen Zhanshan and his family still did not come out with wine and food.
Old man Chen's stomach was growling with hunger, but he didn't dare say it out loud. He could only frown and endure it.
After a while, the sound of cooking could be heard from outside, but the food still did not arrive on the table...
In the kitchen.
When Mrs. Lin learned about Chen Qingqing's plan, she clapped her hands with joy. She felt relieved at the thought of being able to deal with these two disgusting old guys, so she cooperated and started cooking.
Although Chen Zhanshan felt that it was a bit excessive, his head started to throb with pain when he thought about these two old guys taking advantage of their seniority and becoming more and more excessive because he didn't dare to do anything to them.
"Qing girl, we have to teach them a lesson, but you have to be careful. If you scare them into something bad, it won't be worth it for our family to get into trouble."
"Yes, your father is right. Our family lives so well, it's not worth getting into a lawsuit because of them." Lin nodded in agreement.
Chen Qingqing smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I know what to do."
Chen Han would occasionally sneak a peek at the old man and his wife's every move from outside the house.
Seeing Old Man Chen pick up the snacks, he hurried into the kitchen and said, "Sister, they are so hungry that they can't bear it anymore."
"Don't be impatient. Wait a little longer. Let them eat enough first. Then we can proceed according to the plan."
"Okay, I understand." Chen Han nodded in agreement, turned around and ran out.
At this time, Old Man Chen was so hungry that he couldn't help but look around.
He accidentally glanced at the plate of snacks in the corner, his eyes suddenly lit up, he walked forward, picked up the plate of snacks, picked up a piece and was about to put it in his mouth.
Seeing this, Old Lady Chen immediately became furious. "You worthless thing, you're so greedy, put it down right away."
"Please, old woman, I'm so hungry, just let me have a bite first!"
"You really don't have the blessing of eating. If you eat too much of this, your stomach will be bloated. How can you eat big fish and meat later?"
"Old woman, I know you're doing this for my own good, but I'm really starving. I'll just eat one piece. Can't I just skip the rest?"
Old Man Chen was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore. He didn't care whether Old Lady Chen agreed or not. He just stuffed the snack in his hand into his mouth and started to eat it ravenously.
He was still mumbling, "Delicious, delicious, it's so delicious."
Old Mrs. Chen was so greedy that she licked her lips and smacked her lips. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "You only know how to eat it, but you don't even give me a piece to try. Come here quickly."
Old man Chen didn't dare to delay and hurriedly came forward with the plate in his hand, pointing with his hand, "Old woman, try this one with red dots. It has a jujube flavor and tastes much better than osmanthus cake."
"Oh, my dear, there is date paste in it. I love eating big red dates the most." Old Mrs. Chen was already dizzy with hunger. She picked up a piece and started eating it in big mouthfuls.
Although the dim sum was delicious, Old Lady Chen was still thinking about the braised pork. While eating, she reminded Old Man Chen,
"We can't eat too much. Let's each eat one piece first. If we are really full, there will be no room for the braised pork later."
"Yes, yes, you are right, old woman. Leave some room for the meat."
The two of them had good intentions, but the snacks were so delicious that they couldn't stop eating.
In a short while, half a plate of snacks was eaten.
Mrs. Chen's stomach was full and she felt energetic again. Seeing that Old Man Chen wanted to eat more, she quickly stopped him.
"That's enough, old man. We'll be eating meat soon! Put the plate back quickly."
"Okay, I don't want to eat anymore." Old man Chen said and put the plate back to its original place.
Chen Qingqing had been observing their every move. Seeing that the time had come, she pushed Chen Han with her hand and said, "Go ahead, Xiaohan. Do you remember what I taught you?"
"I'll remember that." Chen Han was a little excited and ran into the house like a gust of wind. "I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."
Old Mrs. Chen wiped her mouth quickly and stood up as if nothing had happened. "No hurry, no hurry. Is the food ready?"
"It's almost done. There are pork ribs stewing in the pot and beggar's chicken roasting on the stove." Chen Han said as he pretended to clean the table. "Please wait a moment. The food will be here soon."
When Old Man Chen heard this, he was furious. "Why are you cooking so slowly? Hurry up and serve the dishes first. We are all hungry."
"Yes, is the braised pork ready? Bring it over quickly so we can eat it first." Old Mrs. Chen also urged.
"Don't worry, the food will be here soon."
As soon as Chen Han finished speaking, Chen Qingqing walked in from outside with a smile, "Xiao Han, is the table cleared? Let's get ready to eat."
"Sister, it's packed."
"Okay, I'll go serve the dishes." Chen Qingqing turned around and was about to walk out, but suddenly stopped, looked at Chen Han in astonishment, and shouted,
"Xiaohan, you're going to die!"
"Sister, what's wrong with me?" Chen Han pretended to be confused.
"What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?" Chen Qingqing pointed angrily towards the corner, "Who told you to sneak in some snacks? Tell me how much you ate, or I'll beat you to death!"
"I, I, I... I didn't eat any of it. I didn't steal it." Chen Han hurriedly explained, "I started clearing the table as soon as I entered the room. I definitely didn't eat any snacks. Whoever stole some will have their tongue rotted!"
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Chen was stunned at first, then she curled her lips in disdain. This dead girl is really a stingy son crying for his father. She is so stingy.
It's just a few pieces of crappy pastries, why make such a fuss?
But if this damn girl knew that the cakes were for the old couple to eat, not only would they lose face, but if she got angry and chased them out, they would not be able to eat the meat that was in their mouths.
Thinking of this, he hurried forward and pretended to persuade her,
"Qing girl, look at what you are doing. Didn't Han just eat a few cakes? Is it worth making such a fuss? For grandma's sake, don't bother with Han. Hurry and serve the dishes!"
