Chapter 321: Stop Putting Yourself on a Pedestal
At the same time, the folks from Shirley’s maternal family were also scheming relentlessly, coming over to plead with her again, but to their surprise, they overheard that she had set a wedding date today, which immediately spurred their family into action, almost trotting towards her house.
In the kitchen, Shen Meng and several others including Xie Jinghao were preparing the lunch meal, while Aunt Juying, Uncle Guai, and Lu Jiasheng were entertaining guests in the living room.
"Sister-in-law Lianhua, you go kill the fish, I’m too scared to do it, while you’re at it, just clean the fish as well!"
"Alright, alright, you take care of the dishes on your end, don’t skimp on the oil and salt. Even if today we completely empty Shirley’s oil jar, she won’t feel heartbroken."
"Hahaha, right, she might even be thrilled."
Shen Meng took a large spoon and scooped a chunk of pork lard into the pan. After it heated up, she sprinkled in some green onions and ginger, stirred a few times, and threw in the sliced pork belly. She then added soaked shredded potatoes and chili, releasing a fragrance so enticing that it made everyone’s mouth water instantly.
"My goodness, Sister-in-law Meng’s cooking skills are simply amazing. I’ve never had anything better than her cooking."
"Who would disagree? I heard from Shirley the other day that my elder sister-in-law took leave to come help. You have no idea how happy I was. I’ve been craving a taste of my sister-in-law’s cooking. Before, it was fine; whenever she made something delicious at home, Mingyang would deliver some to us. But now that she’s gone to the county, she comes back at night with dishes from the State-Owned Restaurant, and we hardly get any of her cooking."
