Chương 52: Chapter 52 Bet and Reconciliation
] "No, no, no, a private matter is a private matter, and the secret barbecue recipe is a bet." When it came to the secret recipe for barbecue, Grandma Connie became serious: "There are still two days until the end of this week. I wish that little fat guy well. Good luck!"
In terms of mentality, Grandma Connie was still looking down on George.
The mother-in-law and the son-in-law dislike each other, and this is probably the case.
Seeing that Mike still wanted to persuade, the shrewd grandma continued: "I have something to do tomorrow, so I will go to rest first, and you should rest early."
Grandma Mary and Connie are very influential in the Millennium Church. Grandma Mary and Connie will be in charge of the believers tomorrow. Catering is also an important and sacred matter.
After speaking, Grandma Connie quickly returned to the room without giving Mike a chance to refute.
Looking at the other party's leaving figure, Mike shook his head helplessly. He was planning in his mind, or else he would write down the secret recipe and then send it to George as Grandma Connie.
In this way, the conflict between the two should be alleviated.
But in the end, Mike rejected the idea.
Not to mention that it would be easy to reveal the secret, and if the matter is exposed, he will likely make a fuss and become a different person.
"Alas~" Considering all the disadvantages, Mike sighed, lamenting that he was a "selfish" person after all.
He is not willing to do thankless things.
As for George, despite Mary's objections, he took two bottles of beer from the refrigerator, sat on the deck chair in the backyard, and drank beer while enjoying the coolness.
However, the leisurely enjoyment he had enjoyed in the past made him unable to feel comfortable at all today.
He was still thinking about the conflicts at home. He didn't want to quarrel with Connie and Mary, but he wanted too much to be recognized and valued by his family.
"Damn barbecue~" Thinking of his depression, George hammered the small table at hand.
Amidst the loud noise, George, who had not had any fighting training for a long time, held his hands and blew cool air.
The joint between the palm and the wrist was a large area of red.
"George, what happened?" Mary, who was packing the kitchen utensils in the kitchen, heard the sound and asked.
"It's okay~" George straightened the small table that had been hammered over, and responded to the other party.
"Huh~" After setting the table, George rolled the broken beer bottle to the ground and threw it into the trash can. After working for a while, he lay down in the chair again.
Then, after he calmed down, he could feel his wife's concern for him. He also realized that all the conflicts at home were caused by that damn "barbecue".
"By the way, barbecue." George had an idea and came up with a secret barbecue recipe.
The more Grandma Connie doesn't want to give it, the more George wants to get the secret recipe.
Finally, he decided to sneak into Grandma Connie's house and secretly find out the secret recipe.
Thinking that this situation would make Connie angry, George couldn't help but have a smirk on his face.
Before it was dark, George came to the door of Grandma Connie's house. Seeing that the light in the hall of Connie's house was dimmed, he first tried to knock lightly on the door.
Sure enough, no one responded.
This was exactly what George wanted. He skillfully took out the spare key from under the carpet at the door and entered the house with his head in the air.
Then, he walked in the dark to the kitchen of Grandma Connie's house.
...
"Karen, are you free tomorrow?" In the private room, Mike was calling Karen.
To facilitate communication, Mike specially bought a mobile phone. This is not difficult for him who has a little money.
"I'm afraid not..." Karen on the other end of the phone hesitated for a moment and continued: "Regina seems to have discovered something and is keeping a close eye on her now. The Devil Figure Group will have activities tomorrow and the day after tomorrow..."
"Okay. , make an appointment when you have time." With the sound of blowing kisses on the phone, Mike hung up the phone.
Karen is a good girl, knows how to advance and retreat, and is not clingy, which is good.
And just when Mike was about to take a rest, his ears suddenly heard a subtle sound outside.
There is a thief, this is Mike's first reaction.
Immediately, he picked up a wooden stick from the door, carefully opened the door, and followed the sound to find the kitchen.
In the dimness, you can see a fat figure rummaging for something on the kitchen table.
With his familiarity with George, Mike recognized him immediately.
"George, what are you doing?" Mike turned on the light and asked.
"I, I..." George covered his face with his hands and explained hesitantly: "I'm looking for coffee. Yes, there is no coffee at home."
George saw the coffee powder on the table out of the corner of his eye and took it immediately. stand up.
"Really?" Mike asked with a half-smile.
"Yes, that's it!" George said with a panicked expression: "Okay, I got the coffee, it's time for me to leave."
"By the way, don't tell Connie about my visit." Before leaving the house, George asked, please.
He realized that his clumsy performance might not fool Mike at all.
"Yeah, I got it." Mike smiled, even if the other party didn't tell him, he wouldn't tell Grandma Connie about it.
Although it was a bit despicable to do so, Mike still hoped that George could win the "bet".
However, when Mike sent George out, he turned around and saw Grandma Connie leaning on the door frame of the hallway, looking at here with a smile.
This scene was all too familiar to Mike, he had looked at George in the same way just now.
"Grandma Connie, why aren't you asleep yet?" Mike blocked Connie's gaze with his body and said in a hurry.
"That was George just now, what was he doing here?" Grandma Connie didn't buy it and asked.
"Well, it's indeed George." Mike explained: "He ran out of coffee at home, so he came over to get some."
"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Grandma Connie's eyes revealed a look of inquiry.
Then, she went to the kitchen and straightened the small box where she kept the menu.
"Is he looking for this?" Grandma Connie took out a menu from her collar.
Judging from the situation, the shrewd Grandma Connie had already thought that George would come to the house to steal the secret recipe, so she did not put the secret barbecue recipe in the kitchen at all.
"Well, George did want to find the secret recipe. But I think his behavior is understandable." Mike did not speak harshly and chose to show off his cards.
"So, what's the bet?" Grandma Connie asked with a smile.
"I guess you win." Mike was willing to admit defeat.
He was thinking about whether he should tell the other person honestly about his love life.
After all, it was still a bit embarrassing for Mike to talk about such a private matter.
"Okay, you go back and rest." Grandma Connie enjoyed the betting process and did not forcefully ask about Mike's personal life.
Mike, who breathed a sigh of relief, said one more thing: "I think you can think about the secret barbecue recipe."
"Yes, I understand." Grandma Connie responded, looking out the door with a deep look.
...
George, who failed to steal the secret recipe, took another bottle of beer from the refrigerator and went to the backyard.
While he was drinking, Grandma Connie came over carrying two bottles of beer.
"Here~" Grandma Connie handed a bottle of beer to George.
"Even if you hand me a drink, I won't like you." George took the beer and told the truth.
"What about adding this?" Grandma Connie smiled and took out a secret recipe from her collar.
To put it bluntly, there is no big conflict between the two of them. And, after all, they are a family.
After George's appraisal and confirmation that the secret recipe was genuine, all his previous resentments were relieved at this moment.
Then, he stood up and hugged Grandma Connie.
