Sister-in-law Du pushed several times but couldn’t persuade Ji Ruhua to leave, so she had no choice but to let her help inside.
There were many people today, and the quantity of food was not small; Ji Ruhua got involved and took the initiative to offer to take charge of the cooking.
She claimed her cooking skills were decent and wanted to give the other sisters a break.
Sister-in-law Du was only too happy to have a break and willingly gave up the head cook position.
One of the sisters even said, "Xiao Ji is quite diligent and can endure hardships."
She is just right for dating someone from the troops; men at this base are often gone for days on end.
Only women who can endure hardships would be introduced to them.
However, due to Ji Ruhua’s abrupt mention of Jin Yu’s name earlier, that tone and expression led several sisters to suspect something.
So when this sister complimented Ji Ruhua, the other sisters didn’t join in the conversation.
Xu Niannian glanced at Ji Ruhua, wondering if she was planning a roundabout strategy to win favor with the sisters at the base first.
Xu Niannian truly doubted whether this person really understood Jin Yu.
Was her Jin Yu the type to change his goals because of others’ opinions and views?
If he didn’t want to do something, no amount of coercion would work, even if others banged their heads against his.
Such tricks were not even worth Xu Niannian’s effort to deal with.
But having her man eyed by a pretty woman did not sit well with Xu Niannian at all.
She couldn’t help but glare at Jin Yu.
While chatting with Du Jian, Jin Yu suddenly felt a chill down his spine, sensing something amiss.
Soon after, Sister-in-law Du’s exaggerated laughter came from the kitchen.
"Alright, looks like we’re in for a treat today. Oh my, Xiao Ji, your cooking is beyond words; I have to eat an extra bowl of rice today," she said.
"Not at all; I’m not even half as good as you, sister. I am just showing my mediocre skills; I hope you won’t disdain them," said Ji Ruhua politely, without hogging credit, showing a modest demeanor instead.
She really didn’t dare to be proud in front of Sister-in-law Du since the sister had been extremely kind to her.
Moreover, her goal was only to have Jin Yu taste the meal she prepared.
"Come on, with your cooking skills, I wouldn’t dare to disdain," Sister-in-law Du said loudly, drawing the attention of the men and women in the living room.
"This smell is truly delicious," Sister Zhang, holding her baby, said with a smile.
It wasn’t long before the sisters came out of the kitchen with the dishes.
Seeing the group of rough men still gathered around watching chess by her man, Sister-in-law Du said irritably, "Put away the chess, it’s time to eat, clean up the table."
After scolding them, Sister-in-law Du explained to Ji Ruhua with a smile, "Don’t mind these men; they seem unreliable, but let me tell you, each of them knows how to cherish others. Whoever marries them will be treasured in the end."
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruhua’s eyes lit up; it was the familiar content.
Ji Ruhua remembered what Sister-in-law Du once told her to get along well with Jin Yu.
After saying all that, Sister-in-law Du concluded with, "You know, don’t be fooled by Xiao Jin’s stern face; I have a good eye for people. Xiao Jin knows how to be considerate and cherish others."
Ji Ruhua could no longer tell the difference between memory and reality and subconsciously responded, "I know." This text is hosted at NoveI[F]ire.net
She saw Jin Yu with his leg propped up, a faint smile on his lips.
He hadn’t changed; he was all serious on the training field, but in private, he lounged casually, yet looked handsomer and more attractive than anyone else.
Sister-in-law Du’s purpose today was to have Ji Ruhua set her sights on this group of stinky boys.
Seeing her going along with what she said, Sister-in-law Du smiled with satisfaction and gave Ye Shaoting a meaningful look.
Ye Shaoting pretended not to see; he was blind to it all.
