Chapter 455: The Delicate and Soft Sister-in-law VS the Black-hearted Brother-in-law Who Was Borrowed for Seed 4
"Pah, pah, pah, what nonsense are you talking about? Liu Lang will definitely pass the imperial examination."

Wang quickly spat a few times, and fearing that her younger son's studies would be affected, she did not dare to make a fuss anymore, and her anger dissipated instantly.

She hurried to Chen Mufeng's side and said anxiously, "Liu Lang, I was wrong. I shouldn't have disturbed you. Go back to your room and don't disturb your studies."

As he spoke, he pulled Chen Mufeng's arm, his face full of nervousness.

After she finished speaking, she glared at Qian who was following her, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you hurry up and make dinner?"

Qian's eyes widened, she pointed at herself and said in disbelief, "Mom, you want me to cook?"

Wang glared at him, "If you don't do it, do you expect an old woman like me to cook? Hurry up, your father and the others will be back from work soon."

"Yes, mother."

Qian didn't dare to refute and could only go to the kitchen to cook with a wronged look on her face.

Before leaving, he did not forget to glare at Yu Yao fiercely.

Zhao, who lived in the house opposite, saw this scene and couldn't help laughing out loud.

Fortunately, she didn't go over to watch the fun, otherwise it would have been her turn to cook dinner today.

But then he thought of Qian's cooking skills, and his face was filled with disgust again. Qian's cooking skills were extremely poor, and the food could be said to be unpalatable.

It's bad enough that it tastes bad, it's also unhygienic. Sometimes the vegetables are just washed casually and then cut and fried.

Thinking of this, Zhao suddenly lost her appetite.

Chen Mufeng also had no appetite. When he saw his mother asked his second sister-in-law to cook, he looked disdainful.

But he didn't say anything. He glanced at his third sister-in-law standing in the room, thinking that she seemed a little different today, and his expression changed slightly.

But I didn't think much about it. I just thought that my third sister-in-law was bullied so badly that she couldn't stand it and started to resist.

Inside the house, Yu Yao watched this farce and sneered in her heart.

Then he noticed Chen Mufeng's gaze, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible arc, and a cunning flashed in his eyes.

This male protagonist is quite good. He has helped her twice in one day.

Wang held Chen Mufeng and kept saying, "Liu Lang, you must study hard. If you can pass the autumn exam, our family will have hope. You can't be distracted by these trivial matters."

Chen Mufeng nodded slightly: "Mom, I know, don't worry."

After saying that, he couldn't help but glance at his third sister-in-law. The moment their eyes met, a hint of grievance appeared in Yu Yao's eyes, as if she was a little beast that had just suffered a lot of injustice.

Chen Mufeng felt a sudden tightness in his heart, but he quickly looked away and left with Wang.

When Yu Yao saw them leave, the grievance in her eyes disappeared instantly, replaced by indifference.

But Chen Xiuyuan was not allowed to see it.

She walked over to the bed and sat down.

Chen Xiuyuan looked at her and said distressedly: "Yao Niang, you have been wronged today. It's all because of my uselessness."

Yu Yao felt a little annoyed. This man was really useless except for saying these things.

He couldn't protect the original owner when he was in good health, and now in this situation, he can't protect her even more. He can only say these useless words.

But she didn't show it. She patted his hand gently and said, "Husband, this is not your fault. Let me give you a massage. It's uncomfortable to lie like this all day."

She stood up and began to massage his hands and feet, which would promote blood circulation and stimulate the muscles, thus preventing muscle atrophy caused by lying down for too long.

"Yao Niang, thank you for your hard work."

Chen Xiuyuan was deeply moved and felt that he would never find such a good daughter-in-law in the world. Why didn't his mother like her and make things difficult for her?

Yu Yao kept moving her hands, but she said, "Husband, there's no need to talk about this between husband and wife. I just hope you can get better soon."

Not long after, Old Man Chen, the eldest son Chen Xiutian, and the second son Chen Xiuhe came back from working in the fields, and they all gathered together for dinner. Yu Yao first brought Chen Xiuyuan's food to the house, fed him, and then went to the main room to eat.

The atmosphere in the main room was a bit depressing.

The food cooked by Qian was just as everyone expected. The taste was a disaster.

There were several large coarse porcelain bowls on the table, and the food in the bowls looked lifeless.

The leaves of the stir-fried vegetables were wilted and yellow, as if they had been hit by frost, and had some black spots on them, obviously not picked cleanly.

A bowl of boiled beans. The beans were overcooked and almost turned into mud. They were floating in the turbid water, which made people lose their appetite just by looking at it.

There was also a plate of fried potatoes. The potatoes were cut into different sizes, some thick, some thin, and were half-cooked with a raw core in the middle. They were crunchy when you bite them, and the salt on the surface was not evenly spread, with some pieces being salty and some being bland.

The last bowl of wild vegetable and egg soup looked like the vegetables were picked randomly from the ground. Some of the leaves were yellow and wilted, and there was still some dirt on them. It was estimated that they were just rinsed in water.

The soup was very turbid, with a few grass stems floating on it. It tasted bitter, which was a real waste of the eggs.

The staple food is a few coarse-grain cakes, which are gray in color and hard like stones.

When you take a bite, you can feel the rough grains of the cake rubbing against your teeth. There is also a faint smell of mold. I don’t know how long the grain has been stored.

Everyone ate in silence, their faces looked unhappy, but no one said anything.

After all, in this poor rural area, it is good enough to have something to eat, and it is not good to be too picky.

The second son, Chen Xiuhe, couldn't help it anymore. He frowned and looked at his wife, Qian, and said, "You made this dinner, it's really unpalatable."

That's bluntly said.

When Qian heard what her husband said, she looked embarrassed. In fact, she also felt that the food was unpalatable.

But she still said stubbornly, "It's good to have something to eat, but you're still picky. I've been busy for a long time and I'm exhausted, but you just keep making sarcastic remarks."

Chen Lao Er snorted, "You're not allowed to say it tastes bad? Do you think it tastes good? If you can't cook, ask your third sister-in-law to do it. She's much better than you at cooking."

But I was wondering in my heart why my third brother's wife didn't cook today.

When Qian heard this, she was immediately furious. "Let her do it? She is so precious now, she doesn't even take me seriously, how can you expect her to cook? Besides, I asked me to do it, if you have any objection, go and talk to me."

Chen Laoer was choked and speechless. He was so angry that he threw down his chopsticks, decided not to eat, and went back to the house.

No matter which world Yu Yao was in, she lived a very good life in the later period and had never eaten such bad food.

Even when I was a palace maid, I had never eaten such bad food. I really couldn't swallow it now.

Wang glanced at her, snorted, and wanted to say something, but then looked at Chen Mufeng and held back.

Chen Mufeng just ate a few bites and put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, I'm full, I'm going back to my room to study first."

After saying that, he stood up and left.

Wang looked at Chen Mufeng's back and said distressedly, "This child has worked so hard studying that he has no appetite."

Then he glared at Yu Yao again, as if all this was her fault.

Yu Yao didn't care at all, so she put down her chopsticks, got up and went back to the house.

Zhao was regretting it so much now. If she had known earlier, she would have done it herself. It was too disgusting.

Wang also had the same idea.

The night fell over the Chen family courtyard, and the surroundings were so quiet that it was somewhat depressing.

Inside the house, candlelight flickered in the breeze, and light and shadows swayed on the walls.

Yu Yao sat on the edge of the bed, thinking that Chen Mufeng lived next door. Although it was a brick house, it was not soundproof and any loud noise could be heard.

Chen Mufeng is seventeen years old this year and has not yet married. He is at the age of full vigor and vitality. If he hears something he shouldn't hear, I wonder what he would think?
