Chapter 396: Chapter 399: Posture Improvement (1)_1
When Chen Yiling entered the house, ChunTao followed her in.
"Miss, the son-in-law is so good to you, he brought your clothes over himself, didn’t let anyone else touch them," ChunTao said with a smile.
The son-in-law of her house never lets any other men touch the young lady’s belongings. If that’s not love, then what is it?
Chen Yiling said insincerely, "Good? He’s always putting on a stern face, like he’s interrogating a criminal. If your miss weren’t so gutsy, she would have been scared half to death by him a long time ago."
ChunTao secretly chuckled. She wouldn’t point out the young lady’s true feelings.
Wasn’t she just verbally expressing dislike while cherishing him secretly in her heart?
"Don’t think I don’t know you’re laughing, hurry up and get my bath water ready," Chen Yiling rolled her eyes helplessly.
ChunTao candidly grinned and said, "Miss, please wait a moment, I’ll go now."
Chen Yiling took a deep breath. She had been too nice to ChunTao, now even she dared to tease her.
However, after ChunTao left, she sneaked a laugh, with all the mannerisms of a little girl.
When Chen Yiling reappeared in the living room, Qin Longyun was chatting with Tan Zhenghong and the others.
She knew her husband was once again assessing the people’s sentiment. Not wanting to listen to that, she slipped into the kitchen where the delightful aroma of food had already filled the air, making her even hungrier.
"Duo’er, what are you cooking? It smells so good!" Chen Yiling rubbed her stomach.
"It’s all made with the stuff you caught this afternoon; we can start eating in a bit," Qiao Duo’er intentionally kept her in suspense.
Chen Yiling peeked into the pot, hoping to start eating soon.
Seeing that DaNiu was washing dishes, she went over to help.
Chen Yiling’s idea of help resulted in... breaking two bowls, at which DaNiu hurriedly asked her to stand aside and watch.
The household of Qiao Duo’er had few bowls to begin with, and if a few more were broken, they would have to hold their food in their hands that evening.
Soon, the dishes were all laid out on the table.
Fried river clam cakes, braised prawns, boiled fish fillets, assorted fish dumplings, loach with tofu, plus a few vegetarian dishes, and a farm chicken bought from another family made for a full table.
With Qiao Duo’er’s cooking skills, everyone stuffed themselves until their bellies were full.
After dinner, having seen off Qin Longyun and the rest, Tan Zhenghong took over the washing up.
He now wished there were no chores left for his wife, hoping she would last a bit longer at night.
In the following days, Qiao Duo’er and Tan Zhenghong lived a shameless life, just like conjoined twins. Qiao Duo’er felt quite aggrieved.
She thought that Tan Zhenghong, who had just started indulging in carnal pleasures, would only have the energy to frolic for a couple of days.
But now, ten days since the wedding, if he had his way, he could go on until dawn.
Suddenly, a spark of inspiration struck Qiao Duo’er’s mind.
Tan Zhenghong’s enthusiasm for this matter must be because there were basically no entertainment activities available these days.
After a night’s bath, it was straight to sleep; what else to do but things one enjoys?
If only she could find something else for Tan Zhenghong to do, that’s it! The miscellaneous books and stationery she got as part of her dowry could come in handy.
This way, not only could they pass the time, but they could also increase their knowledge. Qiao Duo’er found herself impressed by her own cleverness.
Only, she never anticipated that beside increasing knowledge, they could also improve their techniques.
That night, Qiao Duo’er pulled Tan Zhenghong to read with her.
The sofa was soft, and it felt comfortable sitting on it in just their undergarments.
The miscellaneous notebook, written in semi-vernacular Chinese, was a bit hard to follow, but they could understand it.
The stories recorded inside were quite interesting, and the two of them read with great enjoyment.
"Wife, what character is this?" Tan Zhenghong pointed to a spot.
