Chapter 481 The Strange Old Lady
"Auntie, what's the matter?" Qiao Mo opened the door and saw a dark and thin old lady standing at the door. She had high cheekbones and thin lips, and looked mean. At this moment, she was still looking at Qiao Mo with her inverted triangle eyes, which made Qiao Mo feel creepy.
"I'm the mother of Researcher Yang who lives downstairs from you. You're Researcher Kang's wife, right? I see you've never left the house. What are you doing at home?" Old Mrs. Yang tried to push Qiao Mo aside and go inside.
"It's Aunt Yang. What can I do for you?" Qiao Mo knew at first glance that this was a stranger, so how could he let her into the house?
"How can you be so rude? When the elders come, you don't greet them politely, but instead block the door. What's the point?" Old Mrs. Yang said dissatisfiedly while reaching out to pull Qiao Mo.
"Old man, what's the matter with you? I still have to work and don't have time to entertain you." Qiao Mo was also impatient. "You are a member of the Yang family. How can you be considered my elder? If you want to be entertained by me, go back and find your own younger generation."
"How can you talk like that? I'm older than you, and my son is your husband's colleague. I'm your elder, so you have to treat me well." Old Mrs. Yang said righteously.
"So what you mean is that I am also your junior and can come to your house to eat and drink at any time?" Qiao Mo stood at the door and looked at her coldly. She had seen many top-notch people, but she had never seen such a weirdo.
"My things are what my son worked so hard to earn, how can you have a share?" When she heard that he was going to eat and drink at her house, Old Lady Yang almost jumped up and down. Her daughter-in-law was not even qualified to eat and drink the things in her house, so how could anyone else have a share?
"I have no share in your family's things. Why should I treat you like an elder and respect and coax you? Go away. You are not welcome here." Qiao Mo didn't want to let such a weirdo get involved, so he drove him away without any hesitation.
"You are so rude. Forget it. I am your elder and I won't bother with you. I have run out of oil at home. Please lend me some. Not too much, just one bowl will do." The old lady handed over a bowl of vegetables.
"I'm out of oil at home, and I wanted to go downstairs to borrow some from you, but I didn't expect you to come here first." Qiao Mo smiled as he looked at the bowl. This bowl should be filled with at least a pound of oil.
"Your family is so poor, how could you be out of oil? Don't make excuses, hurry up and fill it up for me. I'll return it to you when I get the oil coupons next month." The old lady held out the bowl of vegetables in front of them.
"No, we came in too haste yesterday and forgot to bring oil. We don't have any oil coupons at home, and there's no one to buy it, so I'm sorry to disappoint you. If you really don't have oil to cook, just ask someone else." After saying that, Qiao Mo retreated into the house and slammed the door shut.
"The richer you are, the more stingy you become." Old Mrs. Yang knocked on the door several times, but seeing that no one paid any attention to her, she had to leave in disappointment.
After sending away the weird old lady, Qiao Mo cooked the rice first, then entered the space, took out a piece of bacon and two winter bamboo shoots from the space, and prepared to make fried winter bamboo shoots with bacon. He also made stir-fried lotus root slices with the lotus root tips that Kang Ying had sent him in the morning, and made taro and baby cabbage soup with the ingredients that were not available at home.
Kang Mingyuan walked out of the office as the bell rang, and hurried home as soon as he opened the door. As soon as he opened it, he smelled a strong spicy aroma.
"Momo, what are we having for dinner today?"
"Stir-fried winter bamboo shoots with bacon, stir-fried lotus root slices, and taro and baby cabbage soup." Seeing him come back, Qiao Mo went to the kitchen to bring out the rice pot.
"The water is too cold. Your hands will freeze when you wash the vegetables. Wait for me to come back and cook for you later." Kang Mingyuan saw that she had cooked all the food, and said to her while washing his hands.
