Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland - Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Chapter 22 It’s too hard_1

“Yun Hao, I can handle it.” Meng Yunhan bites her teeth and stands upright. If you ignore her trembling legs, she might be able to bluff it through.

“We’re all family.”

Meng Yunhan knows the meaning behind Yun Hao’s words, but it’s because she knows that she doesn’t want to leave a bad impression on her two sisters-in-law.

“I’m aware of my body’s condition, don’t worry.”

Yun Hao stared at her for a long time before finally agreeing.

He left the kitchen then.

And Meng Yunhan began to prepare lunch.

Looking at the peanuts, she planned to make a multi-flavored peanut dish, which is a great appetizer.

Meng Yunhan hadn’t been alone in the kitchen for long before Yun Shuang, Yun Men and their mother came to help.

Seeing Yun Shuang in the kitchen, dragging her tired, aching body to cook, she recalled a moment ago when their brother glanced at them and said, “It’s getting late.”

Yun Shuang was used to her brother’s cold demeanor and didn’t react immediately.

What did he mean ‘it’s getting late’?

In the end, the three women guessed for half a day before figuring out he meant it was almost noon.

“Hanhan, you tend the fire, let your eldest sister and younger sister cook.” The mother-in-law understood and sympathized with her daughter-in-law. She saw her trembling legs so she gave her a less strenuous task.

“Yeah, sister-in-law, you tend the fire, we’ll handle the cooking.” Yun Men also suggested cheerfully.

Meng Yunhan appreciated their kindness, “Fine, I’ll tend the fire. Those are peanuts; later, we’ll make a multi-flavored peanut dish for them to enjoy with their drinks.”

“Multi-flavored peanuts?” Yun Men moved closer to see the peanuts mixed with flour and appeared to contain eggs.

The mother-in-law had eaten food prepared by this daughter-in-law before, and it was better than anything the women in the family could make, though a little greasy.

However, since it was New Year’s, she had nothing negative to say and hoped for a happy holiday.

The four women in the kitchen were bustling with activities.

The men in the main room were having an animated chat, and the kids outside were also having a great time.

“Little brother, are you going to take your wife with you to the army this time?” Li Yong knew his wife doted on his younger brother. After so many years, he had gotten used to his brother-in-law’s icy expression, and his wife discussed this matter the night before.

“No.” He answered briefly and clearly.

Zhang Jiang, the brother-in-law, didn’t see his brother-in-law often, but he had heard about him from his wife.

“Brother, there’s a soldier in our village; his wife went with him.” Zhang Jiang thought about his son who was already a few years old, unlike his brother-in-law who was just married. He was somewhat afraid of his brother-in-law, with his cold face which was not welcoming.

“Too harsh.”

Zhang Jiang and Li Yong looked at each other: their brother-in-law was as terse as always.

“Ahao, you have to think it through.” Father Yun also sighed, if his son insisted on taking his daughter-in-law along with him to the army, the parents would not object.

“I’ve thought it through.”

Father Yun couldn’t force his son.

“Ah….” A cry of shock came from the kitchen, Yun Hao sprang up as fast as a sprinter, leaving Zhang Jiang and Li Yong, the two brothers-in-law, staring, stunned at the spot where he had been.

“Hanhan…” Meng Yunhan had not expected that she would cut her hand while peeling potatoes, nor that her sister-in-law would scream out aloud although she herself hadn’t made a sound.
