Chapter 165: Surname
Today was a frustrating day for Zhang Lan; she failed to complain, and instead, had too many tasks to do.
Originally, she was enjoying a life where meals were ready and clothes were handed to her, with no household chores to do, and she could endlessly criticize Cai Meina and make various insinuations.
But now, she has to do everything herself, and the old man keeps complaining about how slow she is.
Zhang Lan was really annoyed, "Alright, Mom, how do you light the fire? I’ve demonstrated it again today, I think it’s just that you forgot for a moment."
Cai Meina wouldn’t keep helping Zhang Lan with the fire; people like her wouldn’t remember your help, only resent you for not doing all the work.
As soon as Cai Meina finished speaking, Zhang Lan became unhappy, "Can’t you just finish this meal?"
"Sorry, I have to help Zhan Jing with the cooking. Ni Zi and the others are eating at the Zhao Family today, can’t let them go hungry."
"Then I have to make food for me and Gong Tao."
"Mom, didn’t you say cooking for over a dozen people is no big deal? Take your time then."
"Oh, right, Mom, if you need pickled vegetables, there’s still some in the jar," Cai Meina added before heading to another room to cook.
Cai Meina couldn’t help but feel fortunate that they had built a house beforehand, avoiding cooking with Zhang Lan; otherwise, seeing what the Zhao Gang household eats, it’s hard not to feel envious.
Gong Ruini was constantly watching the next room, worried that Zhang Lan wouldn’t treat her own mother nicely, "Mom, are you okay?"
