Chapter 26: Chapter 26 Midnight Noodles
Editor: CTCTRANS
Before Jiang Hong went over, Fan Xi finally cleared most of that taste from her mouth.
"How is it going?" Ye Fan smiled and handed Fan Xi the last cup of water, then he came to her ear and quietly said a few words.
"Are you serious?"
Fan Xi's gaze had a hint of doubt in it. She had not believed that Ye Fan was really so kind.
"I promise." Ye Fan blinked.
Fan Xi solemnly patted Ye Fan's shoulder and hummed her way out of the bathroom. She met Jiang Hong's gaze.
"What are you doing in the bathroom?"
Jiang Hong's eyes were as sharp as knives, making Fan Xi think she saw through her actions in the bathroom. A guilty look flashed across her face.
"Mom, aren't you being asked a little too much?" Ye Fan came out to help. "Fan Xi and I are washing the babies' clothes inside. These three children are wetting their pants without changing their diapers. They are being very naughty."
He removed the pants that had already wrung out the water to convince Jiang Hong.
Fan Xi couldn't believe Ye Fan. The bathroom had several pairs of children's pants soaked. She expected to wash them after eating, but Ye Fan surprised her.
"Are you washing clothes?" Jiang Hong had not believed it. "Why are you washing clothes? These are Fan Xi's duties. Nothing is in her hand! Did Fan Xi ask you to do the laundry, son? You tell Mom, Mom helps you teach her lessons."
Fan Xi frowned. Wasn't her mother-in-law's thought too narrowed? Which laundry and cooking should a woman do and a man enjoy? It wasn't like she forced Ye Fan.
Fan Xi sighed, "Your son is really a treasure. He is so spoiled you're afraid to let him out of sight. He likes a rich girl who cannot even get her hands dirty."
"You! Why compare Ye Fan to a woman? I'm still your mother-in-law, so why not ask you? Ye Fan makes money outside and supports you. Your right to say that?"
Jiang Hong was so proud of Steven that she expressed great pride.
Fan Xi watched Jiang Hong flaunt with her arms crossed. In short, she was too patriarchal. She glanced at Ye Fan with a deeper meaning.
"Mom," Steven wailed again. "Isn't everyone human? Why do we need a border? Since Fan Xi is making money, I should help her with housework as her husband."
"Ye Fan, women cook and do laundry. You must concentrate on work." Ye Fan tried everything, but she ignored him. She maintained her beliefs.
Fan Xi couldn't bothered and pretended not to heard.
If Ye Fan did things as Jiang Hong said, her divorce decision was correct. Liu Yun should also experience this kind of day. I wondered if she would regret marrying Ye Fan later.
After Jiang Hong fell asleep, Ye Fan left the bed to cook Fan Xi egg noodles. Fan Xi's hunger was satisfied. "You cook well. Does Mom stop cooking? If it is you, She still despises me for not having milk. She disregards her cooking capabilities."
Because she was hungry, Fan Xi ate the noodles in bites. Since she was sick, Ye Fan's promise to cook for her would have kept her from going hungry all night.
"She doesn't let me."
Fan Xi dropped her bowl after these three words. She remembered Jiang Hong's character. "That's right." she laughed sarcastically.
A patriarchal mindset could lock Jiang Hong up for the rest of her life.
Ye Fan ignored Jiang Hong in the end. He helped Fan Xi in some ways. He handcrafted cribs and triple strollers for each baby.
Jiang Hong repeated it directly and indirectly. She even grew angrier at Fan Xi. She rolled her eyes at Fan Xi whenever she saw her. But Novita was unaffected.
The moment Fan Xi saw the crib and stroller, she was shocked. Her eyes widened. "Did you make this? How crafty is that?"
Every day, Fan Xi stayed home. Occasionally, Ye Fan left her without telling her what he was doing, but she never expected a surprise.
