"What do you mean by you bought it?" snapped Old Madam Han. Her face turned red with anger as she glared at her eldest daughter-in-law. "Do you mean to say that all the meat that you sent to your maternal family was also bought by your money?"

Even though Meng Yunhan was thick-skinned, at that moment, she could not help but turn red in embarrassment. She did not know what to say at that moment and could only opt to stay silent. However, even if she wanted to slither her way out of this situation by keeping mum, Old Madam Han had no such intention. She sneered and then said in a low voice, "Meng Yunhan, don’t make me bring up the past grudges. If I start calculating all the past expenses that you have made on your maternal family, then believe me, you will end up in debt. So you better not start with me and start cooking."

In the end, even if Meng Yunhan wanted to keep the pork belly for Yun Xinye, she had no choice but to cook it for Han Yichen and those troublesome brats. Looking at the simmering pork belly that she had carefully selected for her beloved, Meng Yunhan felt like sobbing. To think that she saved money on her lunch, only to feed these ungrateful wretches.

She felt upset, but there was nothing she could do with her mother-in-law hovering over her head; it would be a surprise if she could even sneak a bite for Yun Xinye. If she dared to take even a piece away, Meng Yunhan was sure that his mother-in-law would definitely harp on it.

"What did you say, Grandma? Mom actually cooked pork belly." When Han Ruochen heard her grandmother’s words, she felt like she had stumbled into an alternative universe. Since when did her mother start caring about their family?

"Why are you so surprised?" Old Madam Han asked with a little chuckle. She flicked Han Ruochen’s forehead and said to her casually, "Even if she is unreliable in the end, she is your mother. How can she not care about you?"

When Han Ruochen heard her grandmother’s response, she could not help but curl her lips. Her mother caring about her? This was equivalent to telling her that the sun was rising from the west. However, she did not dampen the enthusiasm of her grandmother.

However, she didn’t believe that the matter was so simple. Sure enough, when she came down to the dining room, she saw her mother sitting on the chair like she had been wronged to death. Seeing this, Han Ruochen could not help but sneer. She knew it. How could her mother be willing to take care of their family? This pork belly was most probably bought for Yun Xinye. But because her grandmother came to their house, her mother had no choice but to cook it for their family. It was not a surprise that her mother was upset.

What was surprising was that her mother hadn’t flipped the table by now.

Han Yichen, who was sitting on the main chair, was just as stumped. He looked at the pork belly in the pot and clenched the chopsticks in his hands. Every time he tried to pick up a piece of the pork belly, Meng Yunhan would start sniffing. It was as if he would be committing a grave sin if he were to eat the pork belly.

Han Ruochen: "..."

How were they supposed to eat with this tearful ghost hovering over their heads?

Han Beijiang looked at the pork belly and then turned to look at Meng Yunhan. He then pointed to the boiled vegetables and asked, "Eat?"

Han Ruochen: "..." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Of course, with how smart Han Beijiang was, he immediately understood that he couldn’t eat the pork belly.

"What is the matter with you?" Seeing her daughter-in-law act like she had been wronged to death, Old Madam Han could not help but slam her hand onto the table’s surface. She glared at Meng Yunhan fiercely, as if she wanted to eat her alive, causing Meng Yunhan to shrink her neck. "Your man has worked hard for the entire day and returned home to eat a decent meal. It’s one thing that you don’t know how to serve him, but now that he is eating his meal, you are sobbing like the world is coming to an end. I am telling you, Meng Yunhan...you better not make me raise my hand again."

Old Madam Han was really furious. This woman was quite happy when she was taking advantage of others, but when she was the one to suffer a loss, she was crying as if the world was coming to an end.

"Mom, if she wants to take the pork belly away, then let her." Han Yichen was too tired to deal with Meng Yunhan. These days, after staying with the woman, he seemed to have realised that she did not have him in her heart. All she wanted from him was his money and resources.

When Meng Yunhan heard his response, her eyes lit up. Yes, she could take this cooked pork belly to her beloved as well. So what if it was cooked? As long as she refrigerated it properly, she could give it to Yun Xinye. But her hopes were doomed to be dashed because at that very second, Old Madam Han slapped the table again and snapped at her son, "You shut up for me. It is because you are so careless that this woman has gone out of hand. Look at her, a few pennies are making her cry, but what about the ten thousand yuan? Even if she feeds this family pork belly for the next fifty years, she can never make up for that loss."

After she finished speaking, she turned and glared at Meng Yunhan, who lowered her head without speaking. "If you have something to say, then go and bring those thousand yuan back. I promise that I will never stop you, you can take as much pork belly to your maternal home as you want!" Humph, did this woman think that she could take advantage of her son just like that? She was too fresh.
