Chapter 233 - 41 Distress
Jiang Xiaomei was not truly clueless in the kitchen, she could manage simple tasks like steaming rice or frying a basic dish, but that was about the extent of her culinary skills. Anything more complex, like braised pork or steamed fish, was beyond her.
"Uh... it should be fine, I guess. My parents can both cook, and they’re both retired, so they have plenty of time," Yi Feng reasoned after some thought.
The others weren’t as optimistic, especially Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang. In their eyes, no matter how easy-going a mother-in-law might be, it was not acceptable for a daughter-in-law to take being looked after for granted.
"In that case, starting from tomorrow, Xiaomei, you will begin learning to cook with me in the kitchen," Mr. Jiang decided with finality.
It was their oversight, too. Because they both knew how to cook and Xiaomei was competent in other areas, they had neglected this particular aspect. Thankfully, there was still time to rectify the situation.
Jiang Xiaomei nodded her agreement. She, too, hoped to improve and make a better impression on her in-laws.
Yi Feng, however, felt a pang of sympathy, "Isn’t it needless? You’ve been really busy at work recently."
The kindergarten where Jiang Xiaomei worked was newly established and teeming with various tasks—sometimes she was even called in during holidays to help out.
