Yun Jin obediently took her lunchbox, and He Tingchuan's lunchbox was also taken along.
As soon as they stepped out the door, He Tingchuan locked it and took the lunchbox from her hands.
She passed by many families cooking in their corridors, and the aroma of their cooking made Yun Jin's stomach rumble.
Everyone knew each other, and they greeted each other with smiles when they met.
Watching them leave with their lunchboxes, one of the older women couldn't help but sarcastically remark to Yun Jin, "Going to the cafeteria again tonight? The cafeteria food is pretty good, but it's still not as good as cooking at home to suit your taste, and it saves money too."
"Your wife isn't from the countryside, how could she not know how to cook? If she really can't, she can learn from me. Anyway, I cook every day, and she'll learn after watching a few times." Pregnant woman can't even cook?
Wasn't it doing quite well before?
Before Commander He returned, he took good care of himself.
Now that her husband is back, she becomes spoiled and demanding.
She wasn't going to tolerate this scheming country girl, lest Commander He be deceived without even realizing it.
Yun Jin sensed the other person's hostility. She was so sleepy, and someone was picking on her. Yun Jin was furious: "Since you cook every day, why don't you cook all the dishes from our house too!"
“We won’t let you suffer any losses. We’ll give you 50 cents a day for three meals a day, three dishes and a soup, with both meat and vegetables. There should be eggs in the morning, braised pork at noon, and fish, duck, or stewed chicken in the evening. Oh, right, I’m seven months pregnant now and I get hungry easily at night, so we’ll also prepare a late-night snack.”
Older sister-in-law: "!!!"
Others: "???"
The moment these words were spoken, not only the sister-in-law who was being rebuked, but everyone else present was stunned.
You gave me 50 cents, not 50 dollars.
Three meals a day plus a late-night snack? These days, who can afford a late-night snack?
And every meal should have both meat and vegetables, three dishes and a soup?
Even the landlords of the past wouldn't dare to eat like this, would they?
I don't know where she learned this capitalist lady attitude.
Are you sure they're from the countryside?
He Tingchuan: "..."
He Tingchuan opened his mouth, but for a moment he didn't know how to retort, since it was his wife who said the outrageous thing.
Even if your own wife is outrageous, you still have to protect her.
He Tingchuan wisely kept quiet in the end.
Yun Jin saw their shocked expressions, which was exactly the effect she wanted. She sneered, "If you can't do it, don't meddle in other people's business. People who don't know better would think you're not the sister-in-law of the compound, but my husband's stepmother-in-law!"
"You..." The old woman was furious: "Commander He, look at your wife."
He Tingchuan glanced at Yun Jin, and their expectant gazes utterly disappointed them.
He Tingchuan said, "Did my wife say something wrong? If you can't do it, then don't meddle in other people's business. You're not my mother. Even my mother doesn't meddle this much. Don't eat too much salt."
Yun Jin laughed: "That's right, worrying about things that don't concern you!"
"Let's go, let's eat at the cafeteria!" Yun Jin cheered and walked ahead, ignoring her sister-in-law's face, which was turning red and white with anger.
Serves you right!
The others were also furious.
They all expressed their disappointment and frustration, saying, "How could Commander He be like this?"
Whom are they standing up for?
Not only did Commander He not appreciate it, but he also protected that woman.
I'm so angry!
Yun Jin's energy only lasted three minutes before her pace slowed down. She secretly pinched her thigh several times, which He Tingchuan noticed. His gaze fell on the hand that was pinching her thigh, which He Tingchuan then grasped in his large hand. He Tingchuan had someone lean against him and sit down on a bench by the roadside.
Yun Jin fell asleep leaning against him.
Passersby, seeing this, asked curiously, "What's wrong? Is your wife feeling unwell?"
"It's nothing, she's just a little tired from being pregnant and hasn't slept well. Let her take a nap." He Tingchuan waved his hand, signaling them to get lost.
They felt awkward staring at the woman's wife, so they nodded, said hello, and left.
No sooner had they left than Yun Jin opened her eyes and tried to head towards the artificial lake at the Second Hospital, but He Tingchuan grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the cafeteria.
As we walked, I asked, "Who is this author you mentioned?"
In the past, Yun Jin would definitely have been completely open and honest.
At this moment, she seemed to be programmed to be mute; no matter how He Tingchuan asked, she simply wouldn't speak.
He Tingchuan probed, "Are you Yun Jin?"
The person who was sleepwalking nodded.
He Tingchuan asked again, "Are you my wife?"
Yun Jin, who seemed to be sleepwalking, hesitated for a moment before nodding.
He Tingchuan was relieved: "It's good that you are."
The person who was "sleepwalking" seemed not to hear anything.
He Tingchuan pulled her forcefully to the cafeteria. It was still early, and the others hadn't arrived yet. He Tingchuan ordered Yun Jin's favorite dishes, such as the meat dishes she mentioned, and there happened to be stewed chicken with potatoes.
He Tingchuan ordered a large portion of stewed chicken with potatoes, a braised pork belly, and a cucumber salad. The portions were quite generous, enough for the two of them.
I don't plan to eat in the cafeteria, mainly because Yun Jin isn't cooperating.
She was "sleepwalking" and only wanted to go to the artificial lake. If He Tingchuan hadn't been holding her back, she would have already run off to the artificial lake.
Ignoring the subtle glances from others, He Tingchuan pulled and tugged at her back. He regretted it; he should have asked someone else to help him get food. Taking Yun Jin along felt like leading a stubborn mule.
I'm never this mentally exhausted from exercising.
As soon as the door closed, He Tingchuan flicked Yun Jin's forehead.
Yun Jin was awakened by the pain: "Ouch, could you be a little gentler next time?"
He Tingchuan placed the braised pork and stewed chicken with potatoes in front of her, and Yun Jin, who was hungry, immediately stopped complaining and happily picked up a chicken wing to eat: "Her stewed chicken tastes good, and the braised pork is delicious too!"
