"Did I ask you to sit down?" Old Madam Qin sounded very displeased.
"Didn't you ask me not to stand?" Lin Shuya was very confused.
Asking her not to stand there, in other words, asking her to sit down?
"You still dare to refute?" Old Madam Qin glared at Lin Shuya unkindly.
Lin Shuya: "..."
She lowered her head. "Mom, I'm sorry."
Old Madam Qin was such an unreasonable person, and Lin Shuya was already used to it.
Old Madam Qin ordered impatiently, "Hai'er should be back by now. Go and cook."
"I'm going to cook?" Lin Shuya pointed at herself in surprise.
"Do you want me to go alone?"
Lin Shuya hurriedly explained, "No, Mom. Aren't there servants here? You know that the servants cook all the food at home."
"Men are tired from work. When they come home at night, isn't it just to have a bite of the hot food cooked by their wives? You asked the maid to cook, could it be that the maid is Qin Hai's wife?"
Old Madam Qin's reasoning was one-of-a-kind, and it made Lin Shuya speechless.
She could only agree.
The Lin family doted on Lin Shuya very much, but they also thought that she would be able to stand in her husband's family if she married into a good family and had good cooking skills, so they specially asked the master to teach Lin Shuya.
Lin Shuya had good cooking skills.
Normally, it was nothing to ask her to cook a meal, but now her entire body seemed to be covered in Old Madam Qin's saliva. She had been standing there for an hour just now, and her legs were sore. She could barely stand.
Now, she was still asking her to cook, and Lin Shuya was extremely unwilling.
But being stared at by Old Madam Qin like this, she could only drag her sore legs into the kitchen.
Old Madam Qin also followed her in. "Ah Hai is tired from working outside, so he needs to eat better. Lin Shuya, just take five dishes of meat and two vegetable dishes. It's not much."
Lin Shuya: "..."
Not much?
Lin Shuya still wanted to decline, so she found an excuse. "Look, Mom, we don't have so many ingredients at home. We can only cook three dishes of meat and one vegetable dish."
Old Madam Qin raised her eyebrows and looked at the place where the ingredients were placed.
She had already instructed the servants to buy all of these early on.
Lin Shuya followed Old Madam Qin's line of sight and saw a lot of ingredients. It was enough to cook five dishes of meat and two vegetables.
Lin Shuya had no excuse. She could only grit her teeth and start choosing the dishes.
Old Madam Qin watched her for a while outside before leaving.
"Old Madam Qin, let us go and help her," a servant asked.
Old Madam Qin glared at her. "Where are you going? Let her cook alone!"
Old Madam Qin thought of the salted fish and ordered, "Bring the two salted fishes to Lin Shuya. Let her cook them well and eat them tonight."
The servant followed Old Madam Qin's instructions and brought the fish to Lin Shuya.
Lin Shuya could faintly smell a strong fishy smell. She frowned and asked, "What is this?"
The servant told Lin Shuya what Old Madam Qin said.
Lin Shuya had no choice but to open the bag. The fishy smell became stronger, and Lin Shuya's stomach churned.
She ran into the bathroom and vomited.
Old Madam Qin glanced at Lin Shuya.
Lin Shuya was still too young to fight with her.
Lin Shuya came out of the bathroom and took out a mask to put on.
Old Madam Qin didn't bother her anymore. After all, Qin Hai was coming back soon. She couldn't let her son go hungry.
Lin Shuya cooked was very quickly. She finished all the dishes in more than an hour.
When Qin Hai came back, he saw that the table was full of dishes.
Qin Hai was very surprised. "What are we celebrating today?"
