Chapter 297: The Old Master Told Her to Get Lost
“If you can live in this family, then live. If you can’t live in this family, then go back to your old home. I don’t need you to stay here with me.”
Old Master Yun flew into a rage, and this imposing manner directly intimidated the old lady.
“Old man, that’s not what I meant. I’m concerned about you…”
The Old Madam quickly tried to explain herself. However, no one present believed her. The Old Madam could ignore the thoughts of these juniors, but she could not ignore Old Master Yun’s opinion of her. If Old Master Yun really wanted to chase her back to her hometown, then the Old Madam could only go back and not anger Old Master Yun.
“I know I’m wrong. I’ll explain it to these neighbors tomorrow. I didn’t mean to do that. I didn’t expect the neighbors to have such a big reaction. I won’t say bad things about others anymore. I’ll definitely find a chance to explain it to them. Old man, please don’t chase me back to my hometown. I still want to stay with you.”!!
The Old Madam said so tearfully that she almost knelt down and begged the old man.
“Forget it, dad. Since mom has already said that she wants to explain to others, then let’s forgive her this time! I’ll go and cook now. Let’s just pretend that this never happened.”
In the end, Chen Li’s heart softened. She really could not bear to see the old woman’s miserable appearance.
She could be misunderstood, but she could not watch the old couple get a divorce in their later years.
“Yes, yes, old man, look, the children don’t want to blame me anymore. Old man, don’t be angry with me. Just let me stay here and take care of you with the children!”
The Old Madam continued, waiting for the Old Master to agree.
“Okay! This is the last time. If I see you making trouble again, you can go back to your hometown and live on your own.”
The Old Master told the Old Madam that she could stay, but he still said some threatening words.
The Old Madam did not care about that now. When she heard that she could stay, she was extremely happy and hurriedly agreed to all the old man’s conditions.
“In order to express my apology, let me cook tonight and let the children rest.”
The Old Madam gave herself another chance to show off.
“Alright, you can go then.”
The old man did not stand on ceremony with her either.
Chen Li told the Old Madam where she had put the new vegetables she had bought, and the Old Madam went to the cupboard to get them.
Tonight, Chen Li bought some cabbage and tofu to make a stew. Yun Yang had been nagging for a long time about wanting to eat the braised prawns, so Chen Li bought some more prawns.
“Grandma, grandma, I want to eat the braised prawns. Don’t make a mistake.”
When Yun Yang heard that it was the Old Madam who was cooking today, he quickly came over to remind her. He remembered that he had eaten the Old Madam’s cooking a few times, and it had tasted pretty good. After all, he was an unloved child, so the number of times he had been able to eat in his grandparents’ house was very small.
It was an ‘honor’ to have such an opportunity today.
“Braised prawns?!”
The Old Madam cried out in surprise.
“What? Grandma, don’t you know how to cook it? If you don’t, then let my mother come over and cook it together with you.”
Yun Yang was afraid that the Old Madam would not know how to cook this.
Old Madam Yun really knew how to cook this thing. However, her old habit was back again. She felt that braising prawns with oil was simply a waste of oil. wasn’t this method of steaming prawns still edible? Why did she have to use so much oil?!
“I will, I will. Just go back and wait.”
The old lady found a simple reason to prevaricate.
In the end, the child was still relatively late in maturing and did not discover the clues behind this answer. After receiving confirmation, he went back to doing his own things.
Chen Li was still worried. She used the excuse of coming over to get two heads of garlic and approached the Old Madam.
The Old Madam saw Chen Li coming over and struck first.
“Young daughter-in-law, your cooking is too wasteful. The child actually said that he wants to eat braised prawns. Don’t you think this is a waste of oil? Make a steamed one. The old man can also eat a few and save money. Your family just don’t know how to live.”
