While the stew was cooking, Lin Yuexi started frying the steak.
She heated the pan, poured in a little olive oil, put the steak in when the oil was hot, and fry it over medium-low heat until both sides were golden brown. Depending on the thickness of the steak and the child's taste, she controlled the frying time to ensure that the inside of the steak was tender and juicy.
Take out the fried steak and place it on a plate to let it sit for a while to allow the gravy to redistribute, then cut it into small pieces for children to eat.
At this time, the sea bass in the steamer is almost cooked.
Lin Yuexi took out the steamed sea bass, poured out the soup in the plate, put shredded green onion and ginger on it again, drizzled it with steamed fish soy sauce, and then poured hot oil on it. With a "sizzling" sound, the freshness of the fish and the aroma of the seasoning were instantly brought out.
Finally, Lin Yuexi used a food processor to blend the corn kernels into juice, poured it into the pot, added milk, a little salt and sugar, and cooked until thick. The corn soup was ready.
Lin Yuexi brought the braised pork elbow, steamed sea bass, pan-fried steak, tomato and potato stewed eggplant, and corn soup out of the kitchen and placed them on the dining table.
At this time, the original owner's father, Lin Fugui, came to the house. Lin Yuexi knew that it must be her stepmother Li Sangru who heard that she was living a prosperous life and instructed Lin Fugui to come and ask for things.
Lin Yuexi glanced at Lin Fugui and spoke first, "The children and I are hungry. Let's talk after we finish eating..."
Lin Fugui never expected that Lin Yuexi would say these words after not seeing his daughter for such a long time. He was unable to react for a moment and choked there, unable to speak.
Lin Yuexi, Lu Ziyan, and Lu Xiyun slowly ate braised pork elbow, steamed sea bass, and fried steak...
Ren Linfugui was drooling as he watched, and Lu Ziyan said while eating, "Mom, the braised pork elbow you made is so delicious..."
Seeing him talking while eating, Lin Yuexi picked up a piece of eggplant and stuffed it into his mouth, saying, "You can't just eat meat, you have to eat organic fruits and vegetables..."
Lu Xiyun interrupted and said, "Mom is right, brother, you should eat less meat, otherwise you will become fat..."
Lu Ziyan: "Xiyun, I can't gain weight..."
After saying that, he continued to gnaw on his braised pork elbow.
Lin Yuexi was completely speechless, and could only say, "Eat, eat, don't talk while eating and don't talk while sleeping..."
Seeing that the mother and her two children treated him as if he were air, Lin Fugui began to appreciate Lin Yuexi's home.
Lin Yuexi's kitchen cabinets, the dining table in the dining room, the sewing machine in the outer room, the bicycle in the yard, the cabinets, chairs, and radio in the living room.
The brand new quilt in the bedroom, the complete set of new wardrobes, the vanishing cream, lipstick, soap on the dressing table, the bathtub and footbath used by the children, etc., were all things he had never seen or used before...
Lin Fugui felt a little uncomfortable when he saw that Lin Yuexi suddenly bought so many new things and became so rich five years after marriage.
How come this unfilial daughter, even though she is so rich, doesn’t send some to her parents’ home?
Lin Fugui thought so and said so.
"Yuexi, are all the things in this room, the sewing machine, the bicycle, the radio, the cabinet, bought by Lu Cheng for you?"
Lin Yuexi glared at him and asked, "So what if it is or not?"
"If so, then it's all thanks to me and your mother that you can marry such a good man. If you had followed that Li Mingyuan, you would have nothing..."
"Lin Fugui, if you have something to say, say it quickly. If you have to fart, fart quickly. Don't keep talking nonsense here..." Lin Yuexi said impatiently.
"You actually called me by my name instead of calling me dad..." Lin Fugui was a little surprised.
In the past, this daughter had been working hard since she was a child, but she couldn't even fart for a long time, and she didn't dare to call her name in front of her.
But now, not only does he not call me dad, he is also so arrogant.
"What's wrong with me calling you by your name? You have ignored me since I was a child. Are you worthy of being my father?" Lin Yuexi would not spoil him.
"Okay! Since you don't want to call me dad, that's fine! But now you are so rich, and your mother raised you with great difficulty. Later, she also helped you find such a good in-law family, so you should buy some things and go back to see your mother!"
Lin Yuexi opened her eyes wide: "Lin Fugui, is there water in your brain? Do you want me to cut a hole and let the water out..."
"You silly girl, look at what you are saying?" Lin Fugui started to get angry.
"Lin Fugui, I started cooking when I was six years old and washing clothes when I was eight. I never had a full meal at home. When I was older, I not only had to work in the fields every day, but also had to do housework. In winter, my hands were soaked in cold water all year round, and they were full of chilblains. If it weren't for the help from my grandparents, I would have starved to death long ago.
Later, my grandparents passed away, and you never took care of me, which led to me being tortured by Li Sangru day and night, sleeping in a pigsty, and not being given food to eat. You didn’t even notice…”
Lin Fugui was not moved at all after listening to Lin Yuexi's accusation: "At your time, every girl was like this. This is to let you learn to do things and take charge of the family early, so that you won't suffer any loss when you marry into your husband's family..."
"What about Lin Wan? Why doesn't Lin Wan go to the fields and do housework even though she's a teenager?"
Lin Fugui was a little puzzled: "You are the elder sister, why do you need her to do it when you can do it?"
"If she doesn't learn how to do things, aren't you afraid that she will be bullied when she marries into her husband's family in the future?"
Lin Fugui burst into laughter after hearing this. "My daughter Wanwan is so smart, how could she suffer a loss after getting married?..."
Lin Yuexi was speechless after hearing this. The original owner's grandparents were so smart, but they let their daughter marry such a stupid and brainless person. Isn't this a path to death?
No, there must be something fishy here. The original owner should not be Lin Fugui’s biological daughter!
Otherwise, why did Li Sangru never work in the fields or do housework since she married into the Lin family, but let Lin Yuexi, a child under 8 years old, stay around the stove every day, and Lin Fugui didn't care.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuexi said, "Lin Fugui, a daughter who is married off is like spilled out. Besides, you sold me for 200 yuan. From now on, I am no longer your daughter."
"Lin Yuexi, what nonsense are you talking about? The 200 yuan is the betrothal money that the Lu family gave to my Lin family. How could they say they sold you out? Besides, there are many people in this village who send gifts to married daughters' parents' homes. Don't be stupid..."
When Lin Yuexi heard what Lin Fugui said, she knew that she couldn't explain it to him, so she said, "Lin Fugui, you should go back first! We can talk about the future later..."
"Are you free to come back tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow, I'm busy..."
"Then let's do it the day after tomorrow! Remember to buy something for your mother!" Lin Fugui gave another reminder before leaving.
Lin Yuexi shook her head. It was so sad that the original owner had such a terrible father!
