But Meng Yunhan knew he was a very stubborn man and had his own principles.
Last time, he wouldn't let her leave Qingzhao Village just because she intentionally had an abortion.
"Yun Hao, Yun Hao....."
Seeing his wife's eyes well up with tears again, he wondered why he never thought of her as being so prone to crying before. Why was she so weepy today? She was almost like a crybaby now.
"I'm here, I'm here, darling, let's eat," Yun Hao's lips curled up slightly, indicating his mood was good.
Throughout life, there are four great joys: the relief of a long drought, meeting old friends in a distant land, the joy of a wedding night, and the pride of academic success.
For him, yesterday was a great joy, and today is also a great joy.
His wife told him she wanted to have his children, which symbolized spending the rest of their lives together. How could he not be happy?
Yet, he didn't show it on his face.
However, his actions revealed it.
He transferred all the meat and vegetables in his bowl to Meng Yunhan's.
Looking at the overflow of food, Meng Yunhan whined, "Yun Hao, I can't finish it all."
Sweat popped out on Yun Hao's forehead, "If you can't finish it, I'm still here, aren't I?"
Although Yun Hao does not have a finicky nature, he was the youngest and his parents and older siblings doted on him. He never went hungry, even in the worst times.
However, he never ate leftover food from someone else's bowl before, but now he was willing to do so for Meng Yunhan. This showed how much he cared for her, viewing her as the one he wanted to spend his life with.
While eating, Meng Yunhan sneaked a look at Yun Hao, who was seriously eating, but he sensed his wife was spying on him.
After they finished and cleaned up, the room became even more lively.
"Yun Hao..."
"Are you cold, Hanhan?" Yun Hao thought Meng Yunhan was cold since it was winter now and he was afraid that she hadn't dressed warmly enough.
"I just wanted to call you." Meng Yunhan felt being reborn was a gift from heaven, giving her a second chance to live. This life, she wanted to treat Yun Hao well, to bear his children, unlike last time, she would be alone all the way till the end. Her two older brothers, growing more selfish and greedy as she grew wealthier, always aiming to gain something from her. This life, she planned to sever ties with them.
Yun Hao actually felt sweet inside as well.
After chatting for a while, Meng Yunhan went to cook. This morning she didn't cook and planned to make up for it at noon.
Since she had succeeded in her business in the past, she naturally had more socializing events, dining out, visiting hotels, and eating at western restaurants became common. Therefore, she indirectly learnt how to cook some simple dishes.
Hence, at noon, even though the three sisters-in-law were cooking together, Meng Yunhan was leading.
The plain white radish was made into mixed radish shreds.
The stored cabbage was turned into stir-fried cabbage.
Potatoes were braised with streaky pork.
She also prepared several other dishes.
Eldest sister-in-law, Zhang Cuihua, and second sister-in-law, Zhao Fang, were a bit surprised seeing Meng Yunhan's cutting skills and efficient movements.
They heard that Meng Yunhan, though beautiful, did not know how to cook.
This, is called not knowing how to cook?
The food they made not only looked good but also smelled very appetising.
This aroma attracted the children, playing in the yard.
"So fragrant, so fragrant..." The older kids couldn't hold back and gathered around the kitchen door, peeking in.
"We will eat soon, just wait a little longer." Meng Yunhan said with a gentle smile, her voice pleasant to hear. The children, upon hearing their young aunt, obediently nodded their heads.
