The Villain’s Mother

Chapter 297 – If you upset Mom, you’ll have to bear the consequences of that on your own. (2)

The father and son pair washed their hands and came to the dining room. Ruan Xia even scooped out rice for them. As soon as she sat down, she looked at them expectantly and urged them to eat.

Little Wang didn’t have any reservations at all. He picked up a chicken wing from the plate and started eating. As he ate, he mumbled, “So yummy!”

As long as one followed the recipe for coca cola chicken wings, the taste won’t be too bad.

In the eyes of children, their mothers’ cooking was naturally the very best.

Song Tingshen skeptically picked up a pork rib from the plate. In all fairness, the taste was just okay, and the meat was a bit overcooked. However, it wasn’t bad either, especially since these pork ribs were made by Ruan Xia. His brows smoothed out. He gave a thumbs-up in praise. “It tastes pretty good.”

Very pleased with herself, Ruan Xia replied, “Of course.”

She was so successful with tonight’s dinner. She didn’t cut herself or get splashed with hot oil while cooking and received praise from Song Tingshen and Little Wang in the end.

Sure enough, Song Tingshen and Little Wang were very supportive. The family of three worked together to finish the four dishes.

After dinner was over, Song Tingshen very consciously took on the task of cleaning up. They had a dishwasher at home, so cleaning the dishware was easy and convenient. Little Wang was sitting on the sofa and watching cartoons, Song Tingshen was clearing the table, and Ruan Xia went to cut fruits. Everyone was doing their own thing at home. It was a winter night, but it felt extremely warm.

Taking advantage that Little Wang’s attention was elsewhere, Song Tingshen copied what Ruan Xia did last time. He hugged her from the back and quietly said, “What made you want to cook? You didn’t like to enter the kitchen before.”

Ruan Xia was cutting an apple and replied, “There are some things everyone should learn to do.”

It wasn’t like she was the eldest daughter of an affluent family. In her previous world, she was an ordinary person. After work every day, she had to get dinner. She was responsible for her laundry too. Now that she had come to this world, she had only been a wealthy woman for several months. How could she forget her original state? Besides, she now had a husband and a child. There were some things she had to learn how to do. If she learned them earlier, she wouldn’t be in a mad rush later on.

Song Tingshen took the fruit knife from her and held her hand. “But I hope that you can do less housework. It’ll damage your hands.”

“I already protect my hands very well. It’s fine as long as I don’t wash dishes. I’ll use hand masks later too.” Hearing Song Tingshen’s concern, Ruan Xia felt as if she had eaten honey. She was luckier than most people. Her husband felt distressed for her when she did housework instead of expecting her to do these tasks because she was a wife and mother.

“How about we hire a temporary housekeeper aunty?” Song Tingshen suggested.

Although Ruan Xia was enthusiastic about cooking, Song Tingshen didn’t want her to work hard. It would be a lot easier if they hired another housekeeper aunty. It would also give her enough time to do things she liked, such as taking baking classes or something else.

Ruan Xia’s first reaction was to refuse. “No!”

Hire a housekeeper aunty? No way! They would soon have to live frugally. Even if they had a lot of savings, it didn’t mean they could blindly spend it! They had a child to raise! Raising a child was a huge expense!

“Why not? Our regular housekeeper aunty won’t be back until sometime after New Year.”

Ruan Xia patted her chest. “Isn’t there still me? I can also cook and clean.”

Song Tingshen was silent for a few seconds. “Are you sure?”
