Chapter 986 - 223: Enduring the Bitterest of the Bitter_4
Xie Yi was tired for most of yesterday, and she also got up late today. She hurriedly got herself ready and went to the kitchen to cook, asking Sanshun to help her light the fire.
Xie Ze stood in the yard, dissatisfied.
Hearing the noise outside, Pei Wendong really wanted to continue being passive, not to care or ask anymore.
Xie Ze came to call him, "Brother Wendong! My sister has finished cooking!"
Hearing his strong dissatisfaction, Pei Wendong closed his eyes, took a breath, and got up, "Sorry, I overslept."
On the table, there were dishes of plain rice porridge, a plate of salted vegetables fried with pork, a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of spicy and sour cabbage, a plate of tofu, and a basket of steamed buns.
Gone were the delicate and abundant steamed dumplings, buns, pancakes, soy milk, cow’s milk, and various tasty side dishes.
Xie Yi apologetically said that she could only make simple dishes, "I will learn the rest very soon."
"We should hire a cook woman for the house and buy a few people to do the heavy work. We can’t let my sister always do these rough tasks!" Xie Ze expressed his discontent.
Xie Yi kicked him and they were now depending on Pei Wendong for food and shelter. In this critical period, if they could not share the hardships with him, even this bit of goodwill would wear away. Once he succeeded, she wouldn’t have to worry about these household matters.
