Lu Chaoli gave a sly smile, not caring at all that Lu's mother was in the kitchen.
Jiang Li turned her head guiltily to look at Lu's mother. Knowing everything, Lu's mother had already lowered her head and was stir-frying the vegetables in the pot, pretending to be busy.
After making sure that Mother Lu wasn't looking this way, Jiang Li reached out and touched Lu Chaoli's waist and twisted it hard! "Hiss——"
Lu Chaoli took a breath and looked at Jiang Li with an aggrieved face. His wife was really cruel! Mother Lu, who was standing by, saw the two's little actions from the corner of her eye. She pretended to be busy but now she couldn't pretend anymore. She knew that it would be a shame to speak out at this time, but the food in the pot would be rotten if she continued to fry it! !
"Chao Li, bring a plate to me quickly."
“Here it comes!”
The silent battle between Lu Chaoli and Jiang Li finally ended when Lu's mother spoke up.
Lu Chaoli quickly handed over a plate, then picked up the knife on the chopping board: "I'll go and prepare the fish, and then mom will make braised carp. Dad loves mom's braised carp the most!"
"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say. Today is your father's birthday, let him be the boss for a day!"
Father Lu, who was outside the courtyard, was so excited when he heard this that he trotted to the kitchen door and said, "Mom, are you serious? Are you really going to let me be the head of the family today?"
Mother Lu glanced at Father Lu with a spoon in her hand: "How could it be false? When did I stop keeping my word?"
"Okay, then I'll go to Lao Wang's house next door and get a bottle of peach blossom wine!"
After saying this, Father Lu turned around and ran out, not giving Mother Lu any chance to refuse.
Mother Lu's mouth twitched, and she said unhappily, "Look at how useless he is!"
Lu Chaoli and Jiang Li looked at each other and finally understood who Lu Chaoli took after as a henpecked man.
A hereditary henpecked husband!
Lu Chaoli took a kitchen knife and went to the yard to process the carp. After picking the vegetables, Jiang Li also walked out of the kitchen to wash the vegetables in the yard.
Today is Mr. Lu's birthday. In addition to buying him a new set of clothes and new shoes, Jiang Li plans to make a bowl of longevity noodles for him personally.
The side dishes are ready. Just wash them and wait until Mother Lu finishes cooking the dishes before you cook the noodles.
Seeing Jiang Li coming out, Lu Chaoli, who wanted to be closer to his wife, moved towards her and skillfully handled the carp in his hand.
"There's a new restaurant opened in town. I heard the food is pretty good. I'll take you there next time I go to town."
Lu Chaoli lowered his head to process the fish in his hand while chatting with Jiang Li.
"Restaurant?"
"That's right. When the time comes, I'll tell mom that I want to eat and ask you to accompany me."
Without waiting for Jiang Li to speak, Lu Chaoli took the initiative to act as a middleman between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Li stopped washing the vegetables and looked at Lu Chaoli standing beside her. Her heart was warmed by his subconscious action, and her red lips curled up.
After cleaning the fish scales, Lu Chaoli took a kitchen knife and cut open the fish's belly. Blood immediately flowed out from the cut.
The yard was instantly filled with the smell of blood. Jiang Li, whose eyes fell on Lu Chaoli, subconsciously looked at the carp in his hand. When she saw the blood gushing out of the fish belly, her stomach churned instantly! "Ugh!"
Jiang Li put down the food in her hand, covered her mouth, ran to the side, and started to retch.
"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Chaoli threw away the fish and kitchen knife in his hand and ran towards Jiang Li.
Hearing the noise, Lu's mother also came out from the kitchen: "What's going on? What happened to Xiao Jiang?"
Lu Chaoli bent down and came to Jiang Li's side, looking at Jiang Li who kept vomiting acid with a nervous face. He originally wanted to smooth her back, but when he saw his hands covered with fish blood, he took his hand back.
"Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
Mother Lu ran to Jiang Li and stroked her back, looking at her with a worried look on her face.
After saying that, he started vomiting again.
"Wife, wife, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"
Looking at Jiang Li's pale face, Lu Chaoli's voice trembled with anxiety.
Mother Lu then noticed that Lu Chaoli's hands were covered in blood, and quickly pushed Lu Chaoli: "It must be the blood on your hands that scared Xiao Jiang, why don't you go wash it!"
"I, I'll go right away!"
Lu Chaoli looked at the blood on his hands, then staggered to the water tank and washed his hands.
Thinking that he might have scared Jiang Li by killing the fish just now, Lu Chaoli felt remorseful. He changed the water several times while washing his hands, threw the carp into the basin and took it aside. He only approached Jiang Li after doing all this.
"Wife, are you feeling better? Let's go to the clinic in town!"
Lu Chaoli grabbed Jiang Li's arm and looked at her with concern.
"I'm fine, I'll be fine in a moment."
Jiang Li waved her hands and felt much better after vomiting out all the acid in her stomach.
Lu Chaoli was still worried and insisted on taking Jiang Li to the clinic in town.
"It will take quite some time just to get to the clinic. Chaoli, go get your uncle Liu to check Xiao Jiang's pulse!"
Mother Lu gave an order and then helped Jiang Li to stand up.
"Okay, I'll go call Uncle Liu right away!"
Lu Chaoli didn't dare to delay and ran towards Uncle Liu's house.
Mother Lu held Jiang Li's arm, worry flashing in her eyes: "Xiao Jiang, slow down. I'll help you go back to the house and sit down slowly. Uncle Liu can take your pulse. Let him take a look first. If you still feel uncomfortable, we can go to the clinic to get some medicine."
"Mom, I'm fine, don't worry, I'm much better now."
Jiang Li patted Mother Lu's hands to comfort her, and pulled the corners of her mouth for fear that Mother Lu would worry.
Jiang Li had just returned to the house to drink a glass of water and Lu Chaoli when she came back with Uncle Liu.
"Put me down, Chaoli, put me down now!"
There was a cry of surprise from Uncle Liu outside the yard. Uncle Liu was old and walked slowly, so Lu Chaoli carried him all the way here.
It would have been fine if he just carried it on his back, but he also ran all the way so fast that Uncle Liu's old bones were about to be broken!
"Uncle Liu is here, come in quickly and take a look at Xiao Jiang. I don't know what happened to this child, he suddenly vomited just now."
After hearing Uncle Liu's voice, Lu's mother hurried out to greet him. Lu Chaoli carried Uncle Liu into the house and waited until they came in front of Jiang Li before putting him down.
"Uncle Liu, hurry up and help my wife feel her pulse!"
Lu Chaoli, who had run all the way back, looked at Jiang Li breathlessly, not even bothering to wipe the sweat off his forehead.
"Okay, okay, don't worry, don't worry, I'll take Xiao Jiang's pulse right away!"
Uncle Liu knew that Lu Chaoli loved his wife, so he quickly sat down on a chair and felt Jiang Li's pulse.
Uncle Liu, who had been calm and composed, was startled when he felt Jiang Li's pulse. He looked at her in shock, sat up straight and took her pulse again.
"Uncle Liu? What happened to Xiao Jiang? Don't scare me!"
Lu Chaoli saw all of Uncle Liu's actions and expressions, and his heart began to beat wildly.
Uncle Liu looked at Lu Chaoli with a smile: "Nothing, your wife is pregnant!"
