Chapter 132: The Strange Eating Mother-in-Law (3)
"Blame me. I knew you weren't in good health, but I still wanted to force you to eat the food I cooked. It's my fault. But I went to two markets to buy these vegetables. I've prepared them all and they're just waiting to be cooked. Don't you like my cooking?"
Damn Lao Deng, here you go again.
"No way, Mom." Su Nuan sighed and followed Lao Deng's words, "I know you mean well, and I know cooking is hard work for you. It's just that I just had a miscarriage and I'm still not feeling well. Even though I'm on vacation, I just got woken up by a call from the company saying they had something else that needed me to go back."
"Look, I never finished all the food you cooked before. Now, even though I can't finish it all, I will accompany Zhang Fa and Mom to finish it before leaving. And as long as it's cooked by Mom, I believe Zhang Fa can finish it no matter how much. Zhang Fa is the most filial son."
"Other families can't even eat the food my mother cooks."
Li Guifen was touched. "Daughter-in-law, my good daughter-in-law, thank goodness you understand me."
I just feel that Su Nuan's voice is getting better and better.
He spoke for the first time, "Okay, then give Zhang Fa a call and ask him to come back for dinner."
Zhangfa has a meeting today, a very important meeting, and he won’t be back until at least nine o’clock in the evening.
Not only that, how many times has Zhang Fa eaten at home during this period?
"Okay." Su Nuan said happily as she made a phone call in front of Li Guifen, even turning on the speakerphone. "Hey, honey, when will you be home from get off work for dinner? Mom's almost done cooking."
Zhang Fa's impatient voice soon came from inside, "Did I say I would go back to eat?"
"Ah, you're not coming back? Why? When I was working overtime, I always came back for dinner no matter how tight the schedule was. You're my own son, and the food I cook is so delicious. So many people want to eat it but can't."
"How lucky are you to have your mother cook for you? And you don't even eat. What do you mean by that? Do you still have any filial piety? What do you think of your mother's hard work?"
"You know, Mom went to two markets to buy the vegetables for this meal." She mainly bought the ingredients she wanted to eat.
The structure of this statement sounds very familiar.
Doesn't it sound familiar? It's exactly what he said to persuade the original owner!
"Hey, Liu He, what do you mean? I have to work overtime anyway, and I have to take time off to go home for a meal. Am I sick? Do you know how long it takes to get home from my company?"
"Isn't it just half an hour?"
"It takes half an hour to say it, but it takes an hour and a half to go there and back, including eating."
"Zhang Fa." Su Nuan seemed to be getting angry. She couldn't help but raise her voice and continued to say what Zhang Fa had said to the original owner, "Mom is so old now. Is it easy for her to cook for us every day? Besides, at Mom's age, to put it bluntly, we will have fewer meals to eat."
"By then, you won't even be able to eat the food your mother cooks."
"Don't even mention one and a half hours, even if it's two and a half hours, you have to come back for dinner, otherwise Mom will be so sad! Besides, can the food you eat outside be as delicious as Mom's?"
Zhang Fa sneered, "That's enough. I told you I'm busy and I'll take care of dinner myself. Tell Mom I won't be back for dinner and ask her not to cook for me."
"Chapter, chapter...beep, beep."
Su Nuan looked at the hung-up phone, then turned to look at Li Guifen, feeling aggrieved, embarrassed, and a little angry. "Mom, don't be sad. Zhang Fa, his job is not easy."
But he quickly changed the subject and muttered, "Zhang Fa is really ridiculous. It's only an hour's journey back and forth. Eating at home won't interfere with anything. My company is 20 minutes away from home. To eat my mother's cooking, I will rush back in time no matter how busy I am."
Soon, as if realizing something, he hurriedly comforted her, "Mom, forget it. Since Zhang Fa doesn't want to come back, I won't cook this meal. You can take a rest."
Li Guifen had a very ugly expression on her face. She lowered her head and was still chopping bullfrog meat. When she saw the centipede in the jar, she took it out and chopped it into three pieces. The broken centipede was still twisting, and there was disgusting mucus on the pieces. She took it out and started eating it.
He did not answer Su Nuan's words.
After Su Nuan consoled her for a few more words, Li Guifen finally looked up and smiled at Su Nuan, "I'm fine. Don't you have things to do at the company? Go ahead and do them first."
"Mom!" Su Nuan said worriedly.
Li Guifen comforted her in return.
"Okay, then I'll go to the company first. Don't worry, I'll be back soon." Su Nuan said as she walked out.
After driving out, he went straight to a high-end restaurant and had a good meal for the original owner.
I looked at the time and saw that it was almost time, so I drove home.
As soon as I got home, I saw a small light on in the living room. Under the small light, Li Guifen was sitting alone, staring at several plates of prepared cold dishes.
It's so pitiful to see him alone.
"Mom!" Su Nuan seemed very moved and walked over. She first glanced at the half-cooked dishes on the table and said, "Didn't I tell you not to cook according to the rules?"
The moment Li Guifen saw Su Nuan, she couldn't help but wipe away her tears. "I, I've prepared everything. I also called Zhang Fa, but Zhang Fa said he'd eaten and wouldn't be back. He also said that if no one was home to eat, why should I cook?"
"I did it for his own good, what did I do wrong?"
"Mom!" Su Nuan also burst into tears. "You're right. You're doing this for Zhang Fa's sake. You're just worried that he'll be hungry. You used to treat me this way too. No matter how late I worked overtime or whether I came home for dinner or not, you always cooked for me."
"Don't cry, I'll wait with you until Zhang Fa comes back."
"Good boy." Li Guifen had never felt that Su Nuan warmed her heart so much.
The two of them sat at the dining table like this. Su Nuan naturally took out her mobile phone to kill time. As soon as she opened the video, Li Guifen, who was secretly sad, was quickly attracted by the short video on Su Nuan's phone.
"Daughter-in-law, what is this?"
"Oh, didn't I see Mom always eating raw bullfrogs, earthworms, grasshoppers, centipedes, and other things?"
Su Nuan explained, opening the comments under each video showing people eating raw, wild food and drinking blood. "I was worried my mom would have problems eating this kind of food, so I looked it up online. I didn't expect that big data would start recommending this kind of video to me every time I scrolled through it!"
"Don't tell me, I'm used to it. It's because of these videos that I think it's okay for you to eat whatever you like."
Su Nuan smiled and showed Li Guifen some of the comments under the video. "Look, Mom, everyone here loves to eat these things: apple snails, live eels, venomous snakes, venomous bees, etc. It says above that eating raw snake meat and venomous bees can be a tonic."
"And then there's this: eating raw and pickled apple snail eggs not only satisfies their appetite but also reduces harm to the environment. And then there's this: some people eat glass shards and dirt."
