Chapter 74 Jealousy



Chu Yuefang sent Xu Xiangru away before hurried to the kitchen.

"Mom, let me do it!"

How could Chu Yuefang have the nerve to let Old Madam Ling cook for them right after she came back from Beijing? This was too unfilial.

"No, no, I've already got it, so don't touch it!"

Old Mrs. Ling had already cut the cucumber into shreds and gluten strips. Since it was so hot, she was going to make some cold noodles.

The noodles are all hand-rolled.

Old Mrs. Ling’s skill in making noodles is also unique. Even Chu Yuefang can’t make such thin noodles.

Boil the noodles in boiling water, then scoop them out into well water to cool.

After boiling it two or three times, the temperature of the noodles will cool down.

Then add the fried eggs, cucumber shreds, homemade sesame paste, vinegar and salt and mix well.

The egg and cucumber cold noodles are done.

"Mom, it's all my fault for Xiangru..."

Although Chu Yuefang did not insist on helping, she still stayed in the kitchen to accompany Mrs. Ling.

The most important thing is that she has to explain this to Old Lady Ling.

Old Mrs. Ling is not an unreasonable person.

She really didn't like Xu Xiangru, but there was absolutely no reason for her to blame her daughter-in-law for this matter.

After all, Xu Xiangru was her friend, so it was normal for her to feel embarrassed to ask her to leave. Old Mrs. Ling would not be so harsh on her daughter-in-law.

In this regard, Mrs. Ling's attitude was entirely directed at Xu Xiangru and had nothing to do with Chu Yuefang.

Chu Yuefang actually understood this very well, but it was precisely because she understood it that she felt even more guilty.

Xu Xiangru’s matter is really a big trouble now.

Chu Yuefang had no other choice but to ask her mother-in-law for advice. After all, her mother-in-law had much more experience in dealing with people than she did.

Old Lady Ling stirred the noodles in the hot water pot while thinking, "This matter...is indeed not easy to resolve. The Su family is in a turmoil right now, and Baoshan's wife doesn't want to stay in the turmoil, so she wants to come to you."

But the water in their home is extremely clear. If Xu Xiangru has a little mud on her body, it will easily make the water in their home muddy.

This situation is indeed very troublesome.

"I know that...but isn't there really nothing we can do now..." Chu Yuefang sat dejectedly on a small stool in the kitchen.

Ling Hancheng, who had just returned from outside, saw his wife sighing as soon as he entered the kitchen.

Ling Hancheng went to the town for a meeting today. After all, he is now the vice principal of their Donghu Town Central Primary School, and he has a lot of big and small things to deal with on a daily basis.

I just got back now.

Fortunately, in order to facilitate the meeting, the higher-ups paid some money to buy Ling Hancheng a bicycle, which made it easier for him to travel to and from the town.

It's relatively close to town by bike.

Ling Hancheng thought something had happened, but when he heard Chu Yuefang tell him what it was, he couldn't help but laugh.

"So it's about something like this? I don't think it's a big deal. Why are you and mom so entangled?"

When Mrs. Ling heard this, she couldn't help but glare at her son.

"You are quite clever. If you have a way, then tell me. If you don't have a way, then don't say such things."

Ling Hancheng chuckled when he heard this.

"I don't want Xu Xiangru to come to our house and complain about having to eat. There are many reasons. For example, when it's time to eat, we just stay there and don't cook. After all, we are at home and can eat whatever we want. This will naturally make her endure until she can't stand it anymore."

"She's always too embarrassed to ask you to hurry up and cook."

Even if Xu Xiangru herself can't bear it, she still has her daughter. Can her daughter bear it too?

Ling Hancheng didn't believe this anyway.

"This is not a long-term solution!" Chu Yuefang frowned. It might be okay once or twice, but if it goes on for a long time, won't they eat themselves?

What about their children then?

Chu Yuefang felt that her husband's idea did not seem very practical.

Mrs. Ling was even more unhappy when she heard this, and said with a frown:

"I think this is a bad idea!"

If they really followed this method, not to mention Xu Xiangru and her daughter, Old Mrs. Ling felt that their precious grandchildren would starve first.

It's a bit too much to pay such a price just to prevent others from having meals at their house.

Old Mrs. Ling firmly disagreed with this approach.

Seeing that his mother and wife did not agree with this approach, Ling Hancheng was really worried for a moment.

"Otherwise, there is another way." Ling Hancheng said mysteriously after a while.

"What?"

Seeing him like this, Mrs. Ling and Chu Yuefang immediately became interested.

Is there any other more reliable method?

Ling Hancheng enjoyed his mother and daughter-in-law's curiosity very much, and told them his method with a little pride.

"You know what, this actually sounds like a good idea." Chu Yuefang nodded.

Mrs. Ling also agreed: "I think so too. No matter whether it works or not, let's just give it a try first."

Chu Yuefang agreed.

Whether it succeeds or not, it won’t hurt to give it a try. Who knows, maybe you will succeed.

During dinner, Ling Mu brought Xiao Linglong and Ling Xiaowu to the kitchen, and the other brothers followed.

"I'm telling you guys, stop just thinking about playing with your sister all day. You have to study on time! If your grades aren't good, I'll punish you!"

Ling Hancheng pretended to pick up the chopsticks as if he was going to teach his sons a lesson.

Ling Li picked up his chopsticks and began to eat, mumbling, "Dad can't be jealous of us because we can play with our sister, so he deliberately criticizes us. This is unfair..."

Ling Li spoke a little unclearly while eating, but he still expressed his meaning accurately.

The twins also nodded in agreement with their fourth brother.

Over the past few years, they have also realized that their father would not directly tell them that he was unhappy that they could stay with Xiao Linglong for such a long time, but would just find different ways to "educate" them with other words.

But we can't blame them for this.

After all, they are students, so naturally they have nothing to do after school. But their father is the principal, so he has to be asked to do all kinds of things. For example, if they want to go to the town for a meeting, you can't let the old principal go there by himself on his bike.

That's not right.

Their dad is jealous of them now!

Blatantly jealous of them!

snort.

Don’t think they can’t see it themselves!
