Kapitel 6: The First Obstacle
Redakteur: Nyoi-Bo Studio
After being warned by Chu Zhe, Chu Huan was like a deflated balloon. A long moment passed before he said, "Even if we were able to accept her, she's used to living a luxurious life. Would she be able to endure such a tough life with us? We can't even take care of our everyday needs, and we still have to take care of her as well? Before Xiao Ting left, she was the one who did all the housework and even cooked. Sometimes, when Mom was too busy, Xiao Ting would also help out with the housework. Do you think that young lady can do half as well as Xiao Ting? Can she be half as good as Xiao Ting?"
After Chu Huan said these words, everyone fell into silence.
Even the oldest brother, who was more biased towards Chu Ning, could no longer speak up for her.
That was the truth.
Before Chu Ning came, Ye Ting had tried her best in everything except for her less than stellar academic results. Of course, other than Seventh Brother, who was paralyzed on the hospital bed, the six of them took extra care of Ye Ting too.
Just when the atmosphere got very tense, Chu Ning opened her room door and broke the silence.
She looked at Chu Huan who was feeling smug. Then, she narrowed her peach blossom eyes, smiled, and said with a hint of blame, "Fourth Brother, who told you that I don't know how to do housework? And I like this house very much. You can't say that I'm not used to it."
"Who's your Fourth Brother? I didn't acknowledge you."
When Chu Huan heard Chu Ning's answer, he could not help but laugh. After mocking, he then looked at her with disdain.
He did not believe that a rich young lady like Chu Ning could do housework!
"Yup, Fourth Brother, you don't have to think of me in that way. And Eldest Brother and Second Brother, both of you don't have to worry about my tuition fees. Uncle Ye has helped to pay all the tuition fees for my three years of high school in advance. So, your money can be used on Seventh Brother to cure his illness. His health is more important."
Chu Ning did not care about Chu Huan's hostility at all. She followed her thoughts and spoke without being influenced by him.
"What are you pretending for? Have you met Seventh Brother? You're not the one forking out the money, so of course you can say nice words here."
Chu Huan once again made things difficult for her.
"Only time will tell. I believe that if we get along for a long time in the future, you will agree with me."
Without waiting for Father Chu to speak, Chu Ning spoke first.
"How about this? Since Fourth Brother thinks that I'm a spoiled child, it's getting late and it's almost time for dinner. So, let me cook dinner today. I hope everyone won't mind this."
Chu Ning looked in her parent's direction with a relieved smile. Then, she lightly nodded at her few brothers before turning around and walked into the kitchen with light steps.
"This is..." Mother Chu looked worried when she saw her walk into the kitchen. It was not that she was afraid that she would mess up the kitchen, but she felt that Chu Ning would not know about those things...
Chu Ning was too lazy to explain. Before she had crossed over into this world, other than her top grades, her biggest hobby was learning to make all kinds of delicacies at home.
No kidding, her parents were away from home all year round and were busy with business outside. If she had not learnt how to cook, she would have starved to death!
Especially at that time, her parents thought that children did not need to spend money, so she did not have much pocket money when she was young...
Later, when she was older and did not have any financial worries, her biggest hobby was buying all kinds of ingredients and learning how to cook at home...
Chu Ning opened the shabby refrigerator and looked at the few remaining ingredients. Her dream of cooking all kinds of big meals got dampened...
It was hard for a clever woman to cook without rice!
"Forget it, I'll just cook a few side dishes then. Hmm... I'll use these delicacies to capture your hearts!"
Chu Ning glanced at the seasoning in the kitchen. She initially planned to go out and buy some, but after thinking about it, she decided to just let it be. She did not want to give Chu Huan another chance to find faults.
She frowned. Half a minute later.
Chu Ning tied up her apron, picked up the kitchen knife, and flipped it deftly in her hand. She was ready to start!
Outside the kitchen, her parents and her brothers could only hear sounds continuously coming out of the kitchen one after the other.
First, the gas stove was opened. Then, the refrigerator door was opened and closed repeatedly. The sounds of vegetables being washed and the kitchen knife hitting the chopping board...
"Should I go and take a look?"
Mother Chu looked at Father Chu, her eyes full of worry.
"No need, let her do it herself. The eldest, what do you think?"
After Father Chu said that, he did not forget to ask Chu Zhe for his opinion.
"Let's wait and see."
