Chapter 107: Sowing Discord
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a dimly lit thatched house in Daqing Village, a woman got out of bed and put on her pants.
Her man had been away working for over a month, and she had been starved for over a month.
She had just caught up with her former lover in front of Gu Zi’s house, finally satisfying her desires.
Speaking of which, she was grateful to Su Jing. If it weren’t for Su Jing showing off Tian Hai in the village every day when they were newly in love, she wouldn’t have had the chance to meet this debonair city man.
“Brother Hai, be careful when you leave later. Don’t let anyone see you.”
As she dressed Tian Hai, to ensure he remembered her, she even tucked her bra into the man’s pocket.
Tian Hai cursed, “You lewd woman, wanting to flirt and also maintain your reputation. Classic case of being a whore while setting up a memorial archway! ”
Recalling what just happened, he was still unhappy. That Gu Zi was not easy to handle.
But the more challenging it became, the more it ignited his competitive spirit. He had to win over that woman!
After returning to the city, Tian Hai went straight home. Su Jing was lying on the sofa, looking lifeless, obviously having lost money again.
But she didn’t complain to Tian Hai; she just said, “I don’t know what bad luck
I’ve touched. I only won a few rounds today.”
Tian Hail s eyes gleamed darkly. Oh, Gu Zi, since you’re not obedient, don’t blame me for sowing discord among you all!
He said to Su Jing, “Darling, let me tell you something, don’t get angry.”
Su Jing felt nothing could make her angrier than losing money. “Tell me, I won’t get angry.”
“I went to Daqing Village today to give you a gift, but I didn’t even step inside. Your sister-in-law doesn’t respect you at all. She said that the things you bought were cheap and threw them on the ground.”
‘What? How dare she!” Su Jing was furious upon hearing this.
“Why wouldn’t she dare? She even said that if you dare to return to the Su family, she’ll set the dog on you.”
“What about my brother? Won’t you go to him and complain?” Su Jing was so angry that she paced back and forth.
Tian Hai said, “Your brother seems to be on a business trip. I think, in the future, you won’t have a place in the Su family. But it’s okay, Jingjing, I’ll take care of you.”
The more Su Jing heard, the more infuriated she became. “That’s my home! Why shouldn’t I go back? You’ll see, I won’t let that woman off easily.”
Daqing Village, Su family’s house.
Su Bing and Su Li finished their homework very early today. When they saw Gu Zi busy in the kitchen alone, they felt a little guilty.
Su Bing asked Su Li to take Lele, then he walked into the kitchen, asking, “What can I help you with?”
Gu Zi looked around; the vegetables were washed, and the meat was cut. There wasn’t much for him to do!
She told Su Bing, “Go and play. Just help me take care of your sister.” After speaking, Gu Zi started heating the oil to stir-fry the vegetables.
However, Su Bing didn’t leave. He stood for a while before speaking again, “Can you teach me how to cook?”
If he knew how to cook, she wouldn’t have to work so hard in the future. He didn’t want her to be so tired.
Seeing him still there and asking to learn to cook, Gu Zi said, “Then watch how
I do it first.”
So, he stood beside her quietly and watched as she finished preparing all the dishes.
Gu Zi thought to herself that he truly was a future leader; for a boy his age, being able to stand and watch for five minutes was already impressive.
“Help me serve the dishes. Since you’re so sincere, how about you take the helm for dinner tomorrow?” Gu Zi carried two plates of food and proposed to him.
“Okay, I’ll cook tomorrow,” Su Bing said before going to get the dishes.
The next day, when they returned from school, Su Bing put down his schoolbag and went straight into the kitchen to help Gu Zi wash and chop vegetables.
While cutting cucumbers, Gu Zi instructed him, “Today, you’ll be in charge of stir-frying pork slices with cucumber and tomato and scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Cut the cucumber slices into diamond-shaped chunks. Let me show you.”
She took the knife, halved the cucumber, and cut it into thick strips. Then, she diagonally sliced the flesh into diamond-shaped cucumber pieces.
Su Bing watched and used the knife to imitate her cutting style. Surprisingly, the cucumber slices he cut turned out quite similar.
Gu Zi gave him a thumbs-up, “You have a strong ability to learn!”
Su Bing lowered his head, a slight blush on his face, and quickly finished cutting the cucumbers.
Gu Zi had already explained to him the steps for cooking the two dishes earlier, so now she just needed to remind him of the key points.
“Put the oil in the pan. It needs to be hot before adding the meat to stir-fry..”
