Chapter 392 - My Shoulders Are Sore
Shi Feiye used to make these often. Ordinary people didn't have to be so particular about their meals, so they would just fry the dregs of soy milk with chopped bean sprouts, and the resulting meatballs were fragrant and chewy.
But now they drink bean paste. For health reasons, they crush the beans directly and drink it together with the soup.
In order to fry these meatballs, Aunt Gu specially pulled out the soy milk maker from the storage room and made a few batches of soy milk. She then gave the soy milk away and kept the dregs for herself.
"Your Aunt Gu is really taking good care of you." Mother Lin was suddenly moved when she saw Shi Feiye making the meatballs.
"Yes, Aunt Gu is a very nice person. Boss Qin said that Aunt Gu watched him grow up. She said she was a nanny and a servant, but in fact, she was almost like a family member. It's just that Aunt Gu is always polite. I suggested that she get an assistant so that she could have an easier time, but she refused, saying that it was her job."
Shi Feiye also thought that Aunt Gu was a very kind person, and took very good care of her, Qin Buzhu, and Xiao Si:
"It's all thanks to Aunt Gu that the house is clean and tidy, and everything is done properly. Otherwise, I wouldn't have so much time and energy to do my own things."
"This shows that they know what they are doing. We feel safe using people like this. We're afraid of people who treat themselves as family members just because the host is polite. Whether you fire them or indulge them later, you'll feel bad."
Mother Lin began to teach her daughter common sense:
"Since she knows when to advance and when to retreat, you can give her a bigger pension when she's old. If there's no one to take care of her, you can send her to a good nursing home. After all, our family doesn't need that little money."
"Yeah, that's what I thought too."
Shi Feiye scooped the meatballs with a spoon and put them into the pot, nodding twice. She had the same idea as Lin's mother; she couldn't treat Aunt Gu and the others unfairly.
After working for a long time and frying a bunch of things, Shi Feiye pinched his shoulders and actually felt a little sore.
But she didn't care about herself, but thought about the Lin couple first:
"Dad, Mom, how are you? Are you tired? Are your arms sore?"
"I don't feel anything. What's wrong, honey? Is your arm sore?" Father Lin answered first, looking at Shi Feiye's arm with concern.
Shi Feiye turned his arm and said, "It seems a little bit. Maybe I haven't paid enough attention to physical exercise recently."
Mother Lin immediately pulled Shi Feiye's arm over and pinched it twice:
"Your shoulders are so stiff! You sit in front of the computer every day. If you do that, your cervical and lumbar vertebrae will have problems. Okay, enough with all the blasting today. Come with me for a massage this afternoon."
Father Lin immediately applied to go with him.
"Just go ahead, no one's stopping you. Just don't delay us when you get there."
Mother Lin actually despised her husband's behavior of not wanting to work and only wanting to rest and be lazy, but she had no choice but to look after her son from time to time. She felt sorry for her son, who was so young but had to be enslaved by his father and was so busy.
The person chosen by Mother Lin must be an expert. Shi Feiye was taken by the Lin couple to a very high-end club. It wasn't anything lavish, but it had a special sense of design, the kind of decoration that made people feel at ease at first sight.
"Let me tell you, the owner of this club is an old acquaintance of ours. The masseuses here are all his carefully selected successors. Apart from anything else, their massage skills are among the best in the country."
Before Mother Lin finished her words, Father Lin started interrupting:
"Yes, yes, yes. This time, I'll ask Lao Tu to arrange a personal masseur for you. If you feel unwell in the future, come and have him give you a massage. You're still so young, your health is so important. If you really can't handle it, then don't write the novel for now. Why put so much pressure on yourself?"
Mother Lin glared at him:
"What do you mean? You men are allowed to be career-oriented, but we women are not allowed to be? Let me tell you, my daughter is going to be famous in the film and television industry. She has a lot of things to do in the future."
Lin's father explained speechlessly:
"I didn't say we shouldn't keep our kids busy. It's not good for her to sit in front of the computer every day. I just said she should take care of herself."
"Tsk—I'm telling you, don't use your mother's tactics on my daughter. The idea that women should only focus on their husbands and children is a thing of the past. It's a new era now. Women should have their own careers, too. As long as my daughter is good enough, she can live without anyone in the future."
Shi Feiye noticed that Lin's mother's tone was off. She didn't need to ask, as it was probably due to some past conflict with her grandparents over this issue, and her father's words had ignited the flames.
Sure enough, when Lin's mother said this, Lin's father immediately became timid, pouted, and whispered back:
"I didn't say I didn't want my daughter to be excellent. I'm just worried that she'll be tired."
"Ha, your son works overtime every day and you never say a word. Your daughter works a little harder and hasn't made any progress yet, but you're trying to hold her back. This is discriminatory treatment."
Apparently, Mother Lin didn't buy his tricks:
"Back then, I told you to invest in the entertainment industry, but you didn't listen. You acted like you were afraid I'd misunderstand you. Haha, I asked you to invest, not to have anything to do with those actresses. There's no misunderstanding about something you haven't even met. Now, your daughter wants to pursue a career in the entertainment industry, and you can't even help her."
Mother Lin is now simply attacking indiscriminately:
"You're just lazy, but you have to make excuses for yourself. Now your daughter has to rely on Xiao Qin's connections. As a father, I can't help, so it's all up to your son-in-law. You don't feel ashamed. Your daughter still remembers making fried meatballs for you, but you don't feel guilty about eating them."
These words really hurt his heart. Father Lin couldn't find any words to refute and sighed:
"That's not what I thought of. I've already discussed it with our eldest brother. I'll have him invest in some entertainment companies to ensure that my daughter will have a stable future."
"Besides..." Father Lin still tried to struggle, "Xiao Qin married our daughter, so it's only right for him to help her build connections and develop her career. If he relies on me for everything, can I still let my daughter follow him?"
This statement does make some sense, but unfortunately, in the eyes of Mother Lin, it is just an excuse.
Occasionally, someone would pass by and, as they were about to enter the club, Mother Lin couldn't bring herself to criticize her husband in front of others, so she curled her lips, gave Father Lin a look that said, "Just make up your own excuses," and then pulled Shi Feiye inside.
Not only is the club well decorated, but the staff are also very friendly and always smile at everyone they see. When they see Lin, a regular customer, their faces are filled with smiles, as if they were in the spring breeze.
