Chapter 182. Movable Property
During the New Year, good news spread, and Lianshan was also delighted for his silly younger brother. Knowing that the brother was skilled at outdoor work but had no clue about kitchen tasks, Lianshan specifically picked out some frozen dumplings, sticky bean buns, and duo mai bean paste buns from the family stash for him.
He also brought over a small jar of spicy cabbage that was guided by Shuzhen and co-produced by him and his second aunt.
In case the younger sister-in-law was unwell for a few days and couldn’t cook, Lian Hai could boil some water to cook the frozen dumplings, or simmer the sticky bean buns or duo mai bean paste buns, and serve it with spicy cabbage to satisfy the family’s hunger.
At home, Qiu Fang wasn’t keen on eating the few jins of meat assigned to them by the team, nor did she want to bother making sticky bean buns or anything like that. They had plenty of pickled vegetables, but unfortunately, it wasn’t as appetizing as what the sister-in-law had prepared—better than ordinary stir-fried dishes. Watching his elder brother busy making so much, the sister-in-law, instead of any displeasure, was keen on bringing more.
Seeing how his wife had a strong reaction to this pregnancy and his own poor cooking skills, Lian Hai sheepishly scratched his head and graciously accepted the goodwill from his brother and sister-in-law.
Thinking that since his elder brother and sister-in-law were being so generous, he, as a younger brother, shouldn’t be stingy.
He thought he should treat his elder brother better when given the chance in the future, and better still, to ensure that the exemplary loving couple wouldn’t have any conflicts because of him, the unlucky younger brother who only "eats without giving back."
After all, just the sheer amount his elder brother had prepared would cause immediate changes in expression and potentially spark a family war in another household.
It was thanks to his kind and generous sister-in-law, who wouldn’t have been so open-hearted with just anyone!
With a sweet smile, Shuzhen calmly accepted the admiring gaze from her younger brother-in-law, having been praised this way.
