Chapter 124 Pretense
Chapter 124 Pretense
Guan Lei cursed Guan Youshuang in her heart and returned to the Zhao family.
Before entering the house, she took a few deep breaths, fearing that her in-laws would notice something strange.
It was almost noon, and smoke was already rising from other people's kitchen chimneys, but in their kitchen, and not just the kitchen, but the entire yard, there was not a single person in sight.
Guan Lei was about to go back to the house when Zhao Lan came out from the side room, holding a handful of melon seeds in her hand and eating them as she walked.
"You just go out all day long. Do you know that you are married?"
Guan Lei got angry when she heard this. There was no one else at home, and she was too lazy to pretend to be virtuous, so she said unhappily, "Who said I have to cook? Don't you want to eat?"
"Why would you marry someone if you don't want to cook? You can just stay in your Guan Valley and let your mother serve you for the rest of your life."
Guan Lei snorted coldly and said, "It's none of your business whether I get married or not. Oh, by the way, an old woman like you who can't get married should envy me, right?"
Zhao Lan's face changed, she was so angry that she threw away the melon seeds in her hand and yelled, "You are the old woman, who can't get married? It's me who doesn't like them, okay?"
"So what? You're still going to end up marrying a third-level cripple that someone else has picked out."
Zhao Lan was furious and said hysterically, "I am a government employee after all. Do you think you can enjoy life just by marrying into our family? Just wait and see."
"It's not your place to tell me whether I enjoy happiness or not. You'd better make it clear to me that when your parents die, I will be the mistress of this family. If you don't know what's good for you, I'm afraid you won't even be able to enter your mother's house in the future."
"Huh, threatening me? Do you think I'm afraid? My brother has loved me since he was a child. Do you really think he will listen to you?"
Guan Lei was too lazy to talk any more and walked towards her room.
"Do you really think that everything will be fine just because you are pregnant? You'd better give birth to a son, otherwise you will be in trouble." Zhao Lan's voice came from behind.
Guan Lei sneered, went straight into the house without looking back.
She kicked off her shoes and lay down on the bed, getting angrier and angrier the more she thought about it.
Who the hell is this Zhao Lan? How dare she yell at her every day.
If she hadn't persuaded Liu Qinqin to reject the 1.5-meter-tall Zhang Qingsheng, would it have been her turn?
She's not even married yet, but she's already so arrogant. If she really gets married, wouldn't she be so proud of herself?
She is angry.
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind: let her not get married, let her be an old maid for the rest of her life and be laughed at by others. Anyway, when Zhao Yang gets the project payment, they will buy a house in the county town, and this broken house has nothing to do with her!
Thinking of this, she felt a lot better.
She felt a little hungry, so she went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
As soon as she walked into the kitchen, Feng Zhuanxia came back.
She might have gone to the market to buy dowry for Zhao Lan, carrying several bags of different sizes.
Really take it seriously.
Guan Lei sneered in her heart, turned around and shouted with a smile: "Mom."
"Hey." Feng Zhuanxia seemed to be in a good mood and responded with a smile, "Leilei is back? Have you checked?"
When Guan Lei went out today, she lied that she was going to the health center for a check-up.
Feng Zhuanxia didn't want her to go at first, thinking it was just to have a baby, why waste that money.
She gave birth to three children and never went to the clinic once!
But she also knew that she had asked Guan Lei to drink several doses of multi-fertilization soup before. She had also heard of this kind of thing and said that it sometimes had some side effects and caused the baby to be deformed.
So I let her go.
"Not yet, Mom. Unfortunately, the obstetrician and gynecologist is not on duty today. I'll go another day." Guan Lei said softly.
"Okay then." Feng Zhuanxia glanced towards the kitchen and said, "Didn't I tell you to rest more? Why are you cooking again?"
Guan Lei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I know you're very busy, Mom. I'll help you out if I can."
"You kid." Feng Zhuanxia showed a motherly smile and said, "Then you do it. Xiaolan is getting engaged soon. I'll go cut the cloth and start sewing the quilt this afternoon."
Guan Lei was very angry, so she just pretended to be angry, but she didn't expect Feng Zhuanxia to take it seriously.
How she wished Feng Zhuanxia would tell her to have a good rest and she would cook.
If she had known this, she would not have gone into the kitchen and would have just lay down in the house.
As soon as she entered the kitchen, she was like a tiger trying to eat the sky, not knowing where to start.
She didn't know what to do. She finally learned how to use a pasta machine to make dough, but that thing was like a ghost possessed, sometimes working well and sometimes not.
She didn't want to, nor did she dare, waste someone else's bowl of noodles again.
The last time I was scolded by Zhao Hongcai, I can still remember vividly.
Forget it, just fry some peppers or cowpeas and cook some noodle soup. We have steamed buns at home anyway, so it’ll be a meal.
Besides, these days, there are not many families who can afford to eat white flour buns and fried dishes.
She pulled out the vegetable basket from under the chopping board, grabbed two handfuls of peppers and two handfuls of cowpeas, and threw them into the vegetable basin.
Just as he was about to scoop water, Feng Zhuanxia came in.
She took the big spoon from Guan Lei's hand, scooped a spoonful from the bucket, and drank it all in one gulp.
"There's no need to fry so many dishes to go with rice. Just peel a cucumber and mix it in with the salad."
Guan Lei said, "No, mom, I saw that there are still a lot of steamed buns at home, so I'm going to stir-fry some chili and cowpea dishes and make some soup. Let's eat this for lunch."
Feng Zhuanxia dropped the spoon and frowned, saying, "How can that be? Your father eats noodles every day for lunch. It's been so long and you still don't know his eating habits? I remember telling you that last time."
Guan Lei vaguely remembered that Feng Zhuanxia seemed to have mentioned this before.
She snorted in her heart, people are just different.
As a man too, her father Guan Xingguo would not have any objection to eating noodles at noon, or even just steamed buns soaked in boiling water!
It's all bad habits!
She felt sick whenever she thought of Zhao Hongcai's face.
But she had no reason to resist, so she could only endure it.
Forget it, just wait until Zhao Yang buys a house in the county town.
She recovered her composure and said, "I know, Mom, it's just that I'm slow at cooking and it's late today, so I'm afraid..."
Feng Zhuanxia interrupted her: "It's okay, just take your time, your dad will sleep for a while when he comes back."
Guan Lei was almost angry to death. Okay, then just do it slowly. She didn't believe that if she made you wait for two hours, they would dare to be so picky in the future.
She slowly found the basin, opened the flour bag, filled it with flour, and put the basin aside.
She knows that hot water is needed to knead dough.
I picked up the thermos and was about to pour some hot water in it, but found that it was empty.
Just right.
Let’s boil some water first.
She slowly patted the flour off her hands, kicked the firewood on the ground away, and went to the wheat field to pick straw with her small backpack.
