The evil sister-in-law dressed as a yandere boss

Chapter 9 Faces

Tao Zhen made dinner. The Pei family didn't have much seasoning, so they just added some salt to stew it. Tao Zhen added some chopped green onions and made a pot of hand-made noodles.

This was the first time in Mrs. Pei's life that she saw the magic of a rolling pin. When she saw the dough made by Tao Zhen, she kept praising it, which made Tao Zhen feel embarrassed. After all, this dough was so simple that ordinary people could make it.

Pei Zhan dragged his tired body to the door of his house and stood for a while by the big tree at the door. The wound on his back opened again, and half of the nail on his right index finger was hit by a stone, which was very painful.

He used to be most afraid of pain, but now, he is used to the pain, and even at a certain moment, Pei Zhan felt that the pain was quite good.When your body hurts, your heart will feel better.

The work in the quarry was very arduous. Pei Zhan had never experienced such hardship in his life. He often thought that one day he would not be able to carry on and die.

Maybe, it would be nice to die, it would be a relief.

But he didn't dare to die. If he died, what would his mother and brother do?

Pei Zhan looked at the closed door, and there was a faint light coming from inside.

But he didn't want to go home at all. He didn't dare to look at his mother's smiling face pretending to be strong, nor did he dare to look into his little brother's eyes...

"Why are you standing here if you don't go home?" The door suddenly opened and Tao Zhen walked out.

In the darkness, Pei Zhan stood under the tree, and the moonlight was just right. Tao Zhen seemed to see the fatigue and sadness on his face, but the emotion was fleeting, and he instantly became cold and fierce.

Tao Zhen thought to himself that he must be dazzled.

Of course, Pei Zhan would not explain to Tao Zhen why he did not go home. Instead, he stood at the gate blowing the cold wind. He walked around Tao Zhen and entered the house without even looking at her.

After a simple wash, Pei Zhan went to the kitchen and smelled a very light fragrance as soon as he entered the door.

Pei Heng seemed to have been waiting for a long time, staring at Pei Zhan eagerly, unable to hide the eagerness in his big eyes.

Pei Zhan rubbed his head and said with a smile, "I miss your second brother so much."

Of course Pei Heng wouldn't say anything.Mrs. Pei said with a smile: "Ah Zhen stewed fish soup, he is greedy."

Pei Zhan was stunned: "What kind of fish? Where did the fish come from?"

Mrs. Pei was very proud: "Ah Zhen and Xiao Heng caught it today."

Tao Zhen heard Mrs. Pei's words when she came in. She was very ashamed. In fact, these were simple life skills, but to Mrs. Pei and the others, they were surprised.

It is equivalent to the feeling of a city kid going to the countryside for the first time.

Pei Zhan glanced at Tao Zhen, his eyes still without warmth and said, "Oh? Sister-in-law is very powerful."

Tao Zhen "..."

Being praised by Mrs. Pei, Tao Zhen felt very comfortable and happy, but what about Pei Zhan...

Forget it, there is always a strange feeling.

Pei Zhan really didn't expect that Tao Zhen could not only stew fish soup, but also make noodles.After all, she is also a pampered official lady.

He narrowed his eyes slightly. It seemed that this man's life in the Tao family was not that good, otherwise he would not have been treated as an abandoned son by the Tao family and thrown into a bitter cold place.

Fish soup is the most primitive cooking method. It is very delicious. The hand-made noodles are strong and have a simple home-cooked taste. However, for the Pei family who have been eating porridge and wild vegetable pancakes for several months, such a meal is simply better than theirs. Anything you've ever eaten before tastes better.

Many years later, Pei Zhan recalled his life in Ningzhou. What he remembered most was the bowl of fish soup without fish meat and the simple bowl of chopped green onion noodles.

No one said anything, everyone concentrated on eating, even Mrs. Pei ate a little more, and Pei Zhan and Pei Zhan drank all the noodle soup.
