Chapter 42 - Daily life of the sickly young lady eating melons in the courtyard
Aunt Su didn't expect Lin Qing to have such a reaction!
Cen Xi beside Lin Qing reacted much faster. After realizing Lin Qing's unusual reaction, he immediately said, "Yes, it's a good thing to have another relative in this compound. My Qingqing's health is really worrying. When I'm at work on weekdays, I can't help but worry about whether she is doing well at home. Now it's good. Finally, there is a legitimate relative in the compound. This way, I don't have to worry about bothering others anymore!"
"Yes, yes!" Aunt Su didn't expect that Cen Xi also thought so, and she laughed awkwardly twice.
After hearing what they said, Aunt Su suddenly no longer felt that the Jiang family was taking advantage, but rather that they were the ones being taken advantage of. It seemed that this daughter-in-law was not of much use after all!
After Lin Qing and Cen Xi finished what they wanted to say, they didn't chat any more with Aunt Su and returned home.
After they returned home, they couldn't help but look at each other and laughed!
Cen Xi praised her bluntly: "Qingqing, you are so smart!" Maybe he didn't understand why Lin Qing took the initiative to mention this matter at first, but her exaggerated tone later made him realize why she did so.
"You reacted very quickly too!"
"That's because you are smart. I am just cooperating with you."
"Hehe, this is not what I thought, this is what my mother taught me!" Lin Qing said very proudly.
"That mother-in-law is amazing! You are amazing too. If you hadn't acted so convincingly, they wouldn't have believed what you said!"
"Yeah, that's right. My mother's idea and my action power combined are simply invincible!" Lin Qing said with a little pride.
Cen Xi thought his daughter-in-law was so cute at this moment!
He smiled, couldn't help but hold Lin Qing in his arms, kissed her forehead, and praised her in a low voice: "My Qingqing is the best!"
"whee!"
Maybe thanks to their performance when they came back, Jiang Yang and Lin Shu did not come to disturb the couple that night. Maybe they were really afraid that Lin Qing would stick to them in the future!
No matter what, Lin Qing and Cen Xi were very satisfied with this!
Lin Qing and Cen Xi happily prepared dinner together. They cooked the half pound of beef left over from last night.
However, before cooking, they specially sealed the doors and windows of the kitchen. They were really sealed, even more tightly than they were yesterday!
So, there is no smell of meat at all today!
However, when Aunt Su saw that their doors and windows were tightly closed, she couldn't help but murmur, "It's sealed so tightly, are they cooking meat again?"
Thinking of this, she felt that the meat she had eaten today was no longer tasty, and she couldn't help cursing: "Eat, eat, eat. All you do all day is eat. You may die from eating too much one day!"
When Jiang Dasao went out and saw the doors and windows of the Cen family were closed, she thought of Lin Shu, and then ran to Jiang Dasao and muttered: "Mom, look at my sister-in-law and her aunt and uncle, the doors and windows are closed again. I can tell at a glance that they are hiding and eating meat again, and they don't even know to share some with our family!"
After hearing what she said, Aunt Jiang's face turned very ugly. Although they had just held a banquet and had meat today, it was not impossible to have one more meal. After thinking about it, she asked her to call Lin Shu over.
"Mother-in-law, do you have anything to talk to me about?" Lin Shu had just stayed in the room. Today was her first day after getting married, and she didn't need to take care of the kitchen matters, so she stayed with Aunt Jiang for a while before returning to her room.
Unexpectedly, not long after that, the sister-in-law came to call her.
"Your aunt and uncle must be eating meat today, go and ask for some!" Aunt Jiang said righteously.
Lin Shu had not expected to hear such a self-evident instruction after coming here, and immediately felt embarrassed, "Mother-in-law, didn't you just tell me to have less contact with my aunt and uncle?"
"Uh..." Aunt Jiang was completely silent. This was exactly what she had just said.
But she also wants to eat meat, how can she let it go?
But Aunt Jiang was afraid that she would get stuck after eating the meat once, so she became embarrassed and her facial expression kept changing.
Finally, Aunt Jiang finally resolved the issue. "Forget it. Don't go."
Mrs. Jiang was looking regretful. She didn't expect her mother-in-law to give up like this. This was a rare opportunity to embarrass Lin Shu, but it was gone. What a pity!
I guess Lin Qing never thought that what she said before would have such an effect!
Lin Shu watched her mother-in-law thinking about things. To prevent such things from happening again, she gritted her teeth and said, "Mother-in-law, in fact, our family and my aunt don't have a very good relationship. My grandmother even asked us to move out after I got married for my aunt's sake!"
She had already heard from other people about the feud between Lin Qing and her husband's family. She said this now in order to surrender and to sever ties with Lin Qing and the others so that she could gain a foothold in her husband's family.
It was obviously Lin Shu's parents who made Lin's father and mother unhappy, so they asked them to move out. As a result, Lin Shu opened her mouth and directly attributed the reason to Lin Qing.
"Oh, there is such a thing?" Aunt Jiang didn't expect that her relative-in-law would actually do such a thing?
"Yeah. My aunt was always sick before! Everything in the house was always close to her, so our relationship was never that good!" Lin Shu continued to distort the facts.
After hearing what she said, Aunt Jiang understood immediately, and she remembered what Lin Qing had said before, that she was the old daughter in the family, and her parents doted on her very much, so she had a very bad temper and was easily angered. It seemed that she did not lie!
Even her niece said so, so it must be true. It seems that she has to stay away from her in the future, otherwise their family fortune will not be enough to pay for the losses several times over!
Aunt Jiang made a silent decision in her heart that from now on, her family would definitely stay away from the sickly young lady Lin Qing and would never let her get attached to them or fool them.
"Stay away from their home from now on."
Mrs. Jiang and Lin Shu didn't know what Mrs. Jiang was thinking of, but since she said so, they could only listen.
No matter how unwilling Mrs. Jiang was, she could not disobey Aunt Jiang. Lin Shu didn't want to have any contact with Lin Qingdu in the first place, so she was very happy to do what Aunt Jiang told her.
The Cen family kitchen.
"Wow, it smells so good!" Lin Qing praised as he smelled the scent.
Cen Xi is a knowledgeable engineer with unexpectedly good cooking skills.
"You are amazing! It tastes much better than the beef dish I made yesterday."
"Hehe, you have to thank your mother-in-law, my mom, for this. It's all because her awful cooking skills really made me unable to eat, so my brother and I both learned to cook well because we don't want to eat my mom's terrible food anymore!"
"Hahaha!" Lin Qing didn't expect it to be because of this reason.
"Yes, I have to thank my mother-in-law very much, because she gave me such a kind person like you."
"Yes, I will cook for you when I have time in the future, so that you can taste my cooking skills!"
"Yeah." Lin Qing was also looking forward to it.
