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.

"I'm fine." Seeing Yun Hao's anxious expression, Meng Yunhan gives him a brilliant smile and softly utters these words.

Yun Hao also sees that Meng Yunhan has grazed her skin a bit. He instantly places her finger in his mouth and sucks on it, spitting out the blood.

Yun Shuang and the others were taken aback by Yun Hao's action.

"Ahao, you take Hanhan to rest in your room for a little while. We already have everything prepared for the meal, all that's left is to stir-fry." After all, there were three of them in the kitchen; they could manage the cooking.

"Mom, eldest sister, little sister, I'm fine; it's just a minor cut." She insists she doesn't need rest for something so trivial.

"And it's already stopped bleeding." As Meng Yunhan spoke, she held out her hand for them to examine. Indeed, the blood had stopped. Astonishingly, the blood flow had ceased as soon as Yun Hao had sucked on the wound.

"I'm fine, you go keep my brother-in-law and my sister's husband company." Meng Yunhan spoke in a hushed voice, conscious of the curious gazes directed at her.

Yun Hao knew what she was referring to, that it was hard to change the situation, so he nodded lightly and left.

"Sister-in-law, my third brother treats you so well." Yun Men teased with a joyous laugh. She felt relieved that their typically aloof third brother had finally shown some warmth, a rare occurrence indeed.

"My brother-in-law treats you well, too." Meng Yunhan, refusing to deceive, expressed her belief that both brother-in-laws treated their wives well. Their households were pleasant, with kind parents, granting them the freedom to live out their own little lives behind their separate doors.

The women then resumed preparing their meals.

Yun Shuang and Yun Men tasted Meng Yunhan's cooking and found it to be excellent. Even though they had made similar dishes, Meng Yunhan's turned out better.

Seeing how hard she worked, Yun Shuang and Yun Men didn't trouble Meng Yunhan to wash the dishes after the meal.

So Meng Yunhan went back to her room to prepare the red envelopes.

She prepared three red envelopes, one for each child, each containing one dollar.

After seeing them off, Meng Yunhan finally got to take a proper rest in her room.

When Meng Yunhan woke up, she found Yun Hao sitting next to her.

"What time is it?" Meng Yunhan felt much better this time compared to when she previously woke up. Her body seemed to have regained some energy and her legs didn't feel as weak.

"It's time for dinner." Meng Yunhan was somewhat surprised. She had apparently slept for two or three hours.

"I don't want to move." Meng Yunhan lounged lazily on the bed. Since discovering she was in the late stages of cancer in her previous life, she had been confined to a bed. Even her business dealings were conducted from there.

She didn't have a fond memories of beds, but now she truly didn't want to get up.

Perhaps her current body was still recovering. The previous night had been so intense with this man that her strength hadn't fully returned.

Yun Hao spoke tenderly, although his face remained cold, his voice carried the slightest hint of warmth, "Are your legs still sore?"

"Yun Hao, you're going back to the army tomorrow, right?" Meng Yunhan felt a pang of reluctance at his departure.

"Yes." Yun Hao responded indifferently.

Fortunately, Meng Yunhan was used to Yun Hao's poker face, otherwise she would definitely have taken offense, maybe even causing a ruckus.

"The next time you come back, will it be during the New Year?" Meng Yunhan ventured to ask, her voice cautious.

"Not necessarily." In truth, Yun Hao wanted to say: if you miss me, you can come to the army to see me, but being the ice-cold man he was, he could not bring himself to utter such words.
