“Smells so good!”
Ye narrowed his eyes and talked to himself in ecstasy.
When he was about to reach out to take the chicken in front of him, he accidentally got burned and uttered a low cry: "Ouch, it's so hot."
The next second, she looked around. Just as she was about to pick up the chopsticks beside her to stab the chicken, a surprised voice rang out from the door: "Mother-in-law, what are you doing?"
Ye was startled, and the hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly and fell to the ground.
Zhao Ping came in with a small bundle of firewood and looked at her meaningfully.
"Um...Mother-in-law, you came at the perfect time. I...I just smelled something burning, and since you weren't here, I wanted to help you check it out!"
Ye's old face froze for a moment, and he spoke incoherently, his eyes flickering slightly, but he spoke with confidence.
"Yeah?"
Zhao Ping put down the firewood, glanced at the chickens and ducks, and said with a forced smile: "Thank you for your help! But it's okay, the fire is almost out, it shouldn't be a problem!"
Ye was stunned for a moment, glanced at the sparks from the stove, and a trace of guilt flashed in her eyes: "Since you are back, I will not meddle in other people's business!"
But I was thinking, why did this old woman come back at this time instead of earlier or later?
If she had been a few minutes later, she could have taken the chicken home.
Thinking of this, Ye's heart felt like it was blocked by a huge rock, and she felt particularly unwilling and depressed.
"Where's the third daughter-in-law?"
Zhao Ping looked at Ye thoughtfully, a little puzzled: "Why are you alone?"
Ye was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled awkwardly: "Mother-in-law, if everything is fine, I'll leave first!"
After saying that, he hurried out of the kitchen, as if he was running away!
Zhao Ping looked at the departing figure and sighed helplessly.
Ye's nature of liking to take advantage of others hasn't changed at all!
Fortunately, the third son’s wife and children do not have the same temperament as her, otherwise it would be a big deal!
Over the years, although their Ai family is not as good as other families, it is not too bad either.
At least she thought she was generous to the families of her three daughters-in-law!
Every time they came back to her parents' home, she would prepare plenty of gifts for them and make them proud.
Who knew that Mrs. Ye was still not satisfied, and every once in a while she would ask her daughter to secretly subsidize her parents' home.
Because the food was neither too big nor too small, in order not to embarrass her son, she kept her eyes open and closed.
"Grandma, do you need help?"
Ai Yunyue walked in from outside with a clear and bright voice.
Zhao Ping came back to her senses and smiled dotingly: "Yuebao, weren't you guys playing outside? Why did you come in?"
"Hehe, I played for a while, but I felt tired so I came back first."
Ai Yunyue blinked and looked at Zhao Ping innocently and curiously: "Grandma, what did my grandma come for just now?"
"I don't know either!"
Zhao Ping paused for a moment and sighed, "I guess you have something to ask your mother?"
"oh!"
"By the way, I'm going to the temple to fulfill a vow later. Do you want to come with me?"
"Uh, I'm not going!"
Ai Yunyue's face froze slightly and she shook her head subconsciously.
"Okay, I'll go by myself then!"
Zhao Ping didn't force it, and nodded knowingly: "You stay at home, and remember not to sneak up the mountain again, understand?"
Ai Yunyue: “…I know!”
It seems that this joke will be talked about for a while!
====
After Ye came out of Ai's house, she felt very indignant and depressed.
Isn’t that old woman Zhao Ping so ignorant of etiquette?
After all, she is my mother-in-law!
Why not invite her to have a meal, or give her some token of love to take home?
"Hey, isn't this the mother-in-law of the third daughter-in-law of the Ai family?"
