Impulsiveness is the devil.
He Tingchuan chuckled in exasperation: "This woman..."
I thought it would be something that would make someone blush, but it turned out to be a gloating remark.
She's really something.
They don't even consider who they're being punished for.
Even while He Tingchuan was in solitary confinement, he didn't idle around. He did physical training every day, studied, and wrote self-criticisms. Every time Li Aiguo brought him food, he would bring news about Yun Jin.
I thought she was having trouble eating and sleeping, but it turns out she seems to have a pretty good appetite. She's practically been feeding and drinking at the homes of several regimental commanders and battalion commanders in the compound—those old ladies who used to chat and laugh behind her back.
In Li Aiguo's words, "My sister-in-law is very popular in the compound. The older women all take good care of her. They invite her over to eat whenever there is something delicious. She also occasionally eats in the canteen. It seems that she can take care of herself."
He Tingchuan always felt that there was a lot of exaggeration in those words.
Didn't she say that those older women were bullying people?
Will you cook delicious food for her?
What He Tingchuan didn't know was that Yun Jin adhered to the principle that as long as you weren't embarrassed, it was someone else who was embarrassed. Whenever someone's food smelled delicious, she would bring rice, noodles, vegetables, and occasionally a couple of ounces of meat to their door.
It's not that she's lazy; it's that she's someone who only knows how to cook with a rice cooker. Asking her to use an old-fashioned pot and even have to use coal herself is something she simply can't do.
In addition, Yun Jin has no cooking skills. All she can do is make instant noodles. The dishes she makes are either too salty, too bland, raw, or burnt.
Not wanting to starve or be poisoned to death, Yun Jin had no choice but to eat at the cafeteria.
After eating the cafeteria food for three to five days, Yun Jin got tired of it. The chef's skills remained consistently good, so she had to think of other ways.
Smelling the aroma of someone's food, she would head over with rice and flour. At that time, everyone was struggling financially, and she couldn't just eat for free; she brought food with her.
She'll either ask someone to cook a dish for her, or she won't leave until the other person agrees. She'll hold onto the rice, flour, and oil she bought, staring at you expectantly, waiting to see if you'll feel embarrassed.
Soon, Yun Jin had obtained information on several chefs specializing in different cuisines. Although Li Saozi was stingy, she was an excellent Cantonese cook.
Although Aunt Tian didn't look well, her Sichuan cuisine was authentic, so I could go there for meals more often.
As for Sister Wang, well, her Hunan cuisine is delicious, and her stir-fries are very flavorful. Next time, I'll ask her to put less chili in her food, because pregnant women shouldn't eat too much spicy food; it's not good for the fetus.
As for Sister Gao next door, she makes excellent noodles, especially all kinds of dumplings and chive boxes. She can eat three chive boxes in one meal, and it would be even better if she added some shrimp or something.
These are all experiences Yun Jin gained from freeloading meals, and she will never share them with outsiders.
Yun Jin originally didn't want to go for a free meal, but ever since He Tingchuan was put in solitary confinement, there has been a lot of gossip in the compound. Everyone says that He Tingchuan was too stupid and made a serious mistake on impulse.
Some people even say that the crickets behind their robes are jinxes.
The promising He Tingchuan was imprisoned, all because of her.
Yun Jin overheard this, and that noon she didn't go to the cafeteria for lunch. Instead, she waited for Aunt Li's dishes to be served, bringing her own bowls and chopsticks, acting like the lady of the house: "Eat up, everyone. Why are you looking at me like that? The blanched bok choy and the egg and pickled radish today are quite good. It would be even better if there was a fish."
Li's family looked at Yun Jin, who had suddenly appeared, and asked, "You... why are you eating at my house?"
Yun Jin looked bewildered: "Didn't Sister-in-law Li say that I caused my husband to be locked up and that I'm going to live like this from now on?"
Sister-in-law Li's face flushed red and then turned pale, feeling embarrassed.
Yun Jin laughed: "Sister-in-law cares about me so much, and is worried that I'm not doing well. That's why I came to Sister-in-law Li's house for a meal, so that Sister-in-law Li won't worry that I'm hungry."
Seeing their speechless expressions, Yun Jin warmly invited them, "Eat up, everyone! If you don't eat, I'll eat more. This egg is fried well; add two more eggs next time."
Yun Jin even picked one.
Sister-in-law Li: "......"
Sister-in-law Li and the man exchanged a glance, but Sister-in-law Li couldn't bring herself to kick him out.
The main reason is that the other party has a valid case. If it weren't for the fact that Sister Li was caught talking about crickets behind her back, she wouldn't have gotten into this trouble.
Yun Jin used the same excuse to go to her sister-in-law's house for dinner, making the other woman feel embarrassed, ashamed, and regretful. Seeing Yun Jin, who was very outgoing and eating heartily with her bowl, they could only accept their bad luck.
To prevent Yun Jin from coming to eat for free, Sister Wang deliberately added extra chili peppers, thinking that pregnant women should avoid spicy food and wouldn't come if they were too spicy. Little did she know that Yun Jin was even more cunning.
She prepared a bowl of cooled boiled water in advance, washed the vegetables before eating, and still ate them with great relish.
Sister-in-law Wang: "..."
Those who were unaware of the truth, such as Li Aiguo, thought that those women were genuinely kind to Yun Jin and took good care of his pregnant wife, knowing that He Tingchuan was in solitary confinement.
The truth is, they didn't want to either, but the other person was shameless and brought their own food, making them too embarrassed to even say that they didn't have enough food at home.
What can we do?
They stir-fried a simple dish of hot and sour shredded potatoes, and Yun Jin praised it to the skies, making them feel very happy. They thought that stir-frying another dish was just a small thing, and what was wrong with helping out a pregnant woman?
Everyone thought so: Yun Jin had money and time, and could stay away from the kitchen; she was living a very comfortable life.
During the ten days that He Tingchuan was confined, Yun Jin's belly grew bigger, her thin chin gained some weight, her delicate face became fuller, and her complexion visibly became rosy.
The only thing that troubled Yun Jin was that ever since He Tingchuan took her to the hospital that day...
Starting from the second day after she transmigrated into the book, Yun Jin discovered that she was forced to go through the plot once a day.
