Chapter 75 - Whose Meat Was Getting Chopped
Su Wan remain lying on her mattress staring at the ceiling until late evening , she was a bit confused and angry . Once or twice she turned to look at her closed door but every time she turned her head , the door remained closed . No one stepped in to cajole her and that made her even more incensed , what was this ? Why haven"t anyone especially Lin Rui came to coax her ?
Sure she wasn"t going to forgive him just like that but at-least he got to come and try to coax her right ? But no matter how much she waited no one came .
In the end Su Wan got so mad that she puffed up her cheeks like a young kid and glared at the closed door . So , this was it ? They won"t come and try to cajole her ? Humph ! Who needs their cajoling anyway , what she needed was food ! Yes , she must be feeling hangry because she was hungry , it had nothing to do with Lin Rui and Luo Chenxi flirting right under her nose ( they weren"t flirting , Lin Rui didn"t even looked at Luo Chenxi ) .
Su Wan stood up from her bed and stomped all the way to the kitchen , where she found Lin Yan who had just returned home and was thinking about what to cook tonight " oh you are willing to come out now ?" He said , his tone as poisonous as it usually was .
Su Wan glared at him with such a reproving look that Lin Yan took a step back " so what if I am? willing to come out ? Its not like you guys spent the entire noon knocking at my door ? "
They didn"t even tried to coax her and yet dare to talk with her in such a manner , so what if she wasn"t willing to come out , if she wasn"t feeling hungry she wouldn"t have even took a step outside her room! Just who wants to see your ugly face ?
Lin Yan felt as if he was shot while lying dead , his lips twitch and he patted Su Wan "s head " don"t get angry at me , I just returned and was just thinking of cooking something good to please you , you are scolding the wrong guy "
Su Wan wasn"t in the mood to be placated after being ignored for an entire afternoon , she slapped Lin Yan "s hand away from her head and sneered " oh , then I should thank you for your consideration ?"
Given the soft heart beneath all the? armour , Lin Yan had expected a certain bit of compensation from from his wife or if possible even pity would do as long as his wife realised that she was doing him wrong but no she was completely enraged . And that made him smile at least her anger was a sign of acceptance " are you still feeling jealous over Luo Chenxi "s matter ?"
" Jealous?" Twisting slightly to look at him Su Wan choked on her spit " I"m not jealous !have you even seen that girl, is she capable of making me get jealous over her ? "
" Yes , yes you are the prettiest woman in the village " agreed Lin Yan , though he still wanted to tease her , he tried to control that sudden urge , his turn to sleep with his wife was just a night and day away if he said the wrong thing who knows what and how his wife might react to it . If she got angry , will he even have a chance to hold his wife"s soft body ?
" humph " slightly mollified , Su Wan snorted but didn"t say anything? . Turning around she took off the pork that was hanging by the hook in the corner of the kitchen , then just as she was going to prepare for twice cooked pork , she felt a heated gaze .
Annoyed she stabbed the cleaver in the pork belly and looked at Lin Yan , with an arched brow " do you have something to say ?" Even though she said it , it was clear from her tone that if Lin Yan dared to say anything , it won"t bode him well .
So how could Lin Yan dare to say something against her ? He simply shook his head fervently , that poise , that arrogant tone , he was afraid that if refused to let Su Wan cook pork tonight , she might as well chop his head up and serve it on a platter !
" that"s what I thought " said Su Wan then she started chopping the pork along with ginger and garlic sprouts . Though Lin Yan said nothing , seeing the generous amount of pork that Su Wan was slicing , he felt that his heart was getting sliced too , whatever , just let her do what she wanted , his wife was angry and was throwing a tantrum .
Not to mention with their daily earnings, they can still manage to buy some pork meat if they wanted to eat .
He watched as his wife , sliced the pork belly in a way as if the pig that was slaughtered had done her a great personal wrong ,seeing those furious stabs - Lin Yan actually wondered whose meat was exactly getting chopped .
Thus , Lin Yan silently swallowed his tears and started paying attention to Su Wan who was already boiling the pork with ginger slices , cooking wine . If this was any normal day , she would have given pointers to Lin Yan but when Su Wan got into her angry frenzy , she cooked and cooked and cooked until all her heart settled down a bit .
She was someone who lived past thirty and she usually never unleashed her anger unnecessarily , even though she was afraid and enraged , deep down she knew that Lin Yan wasn"t at fault , thus , she could only busy herself one way or the other to calm down .
But maybe , because her body belonged to a young girl , her temperament was not as calm as before , even when she was nearly done adding? in the broad bean paste, fermented soy beans and ginger and the twice cooked pork was done , her anger remained the same .
Annoyed Su Wan took off the lean pork as well and started on pork chow mien .
Behind her Lin Yan had to actually put his fist against his lips to m.u.f.fle his whimpers , pork belly , lean pork - all of this costed at least three hundred copper coins ! That was equivalent to a family"s two months of salary , tonight they weren"t just eating a meal , they were actually going to eat paper notes !
But no matter what Lin Yan thought he didn"t utter a peep , he just kept on looking how his wife was cooking the dishes , so that he could introduce these dishes as soon as possible in the restaurant . After all such a big hole , he got to work hard to fill it up .
On one hand Lin Yan kept moaning looking at the luxurious meal on the other hand he kept scolding , Luo Chenxi " that idiotic girl , she better not come in front of him ! Or else I might chop her like how Su Wan chopped the Pork belly !"
