Chapter 387: Chapter 387: In This World, I Only Fear You (6)

"Why?" Xiao Yebai asked curiously.

"Because—" Gu’s mother said with a smile, "the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she likes him. See, she likes him so much she has to cook for him, hoping he’ll stay at their home."

The big white dog immediately opened its mouth wide, shrinking into a round shape as if it had been given a lollipop.

The mother-in-law said she would never scorn him, that she liked him and would always cook for him. This really felt like hitting the jackpot, even more so than winning the lottery.

Gu Nuan helplessly raised an eyebrow, not looking back, knowing that big white dog must be as excited as if it had received a shot of adrenaline right now.

How come this kid liked their Gu Family so much? The Xiao Family had such a big house, so much wealth and power, yet he didn’t fancy that. Instead, he liked her and her penniless mother?

If said out loud, definitely no one would believe it.

After washing her hands, Gu’s mother walked into the kitchen.

Gu Nuan stepped aside, since her own mother had said she would personally cook for him, let the big white dog be happy tonight.

As for shrimp, crab, chicken legs, and the like, he had immediately come back with the refrigerator full of food after sending her a text at noon.

When Gu’s mother opened their refrigerator, she got quite a scare. There was so much food, six full compartments, all stuffed full—meat, poultry, eggs, vegetables, fruits, all sorts of things. The richness of it all could have made a complete Manchu-Han imperial feast.

"How many days does this usually last you?" Gu’s mother pondered what to take out to serve her son-in-law.

Gu Nuan told her mother helplessly, "He doesn’t cook, but indeed, he loves to eat. Whatever he likes to eat, he buys, and never thinks about whether the food will expire or not."

This son-in-law seemed like he had never lived a day of poverty, Gu’s mother thought.

However, to say that this big white dog couldn’t endure hardships was also incorrect. Gu Nuan had once heard from Zang Xiaolian that sometimes when they were out where there was nothing to eat, they went hungry, eaten wild fruits from trees, and even occasionally made instant noodles in a hotel.

After all, for someone who doesn’t cook, it’s certainly inconvenient when it comes to eating.

Gu’s mother actually minded quite a bit about her son-in-law’s spending habits, which seemed to be extravagant and never constrained.

If the family had smooth sailing, that was fine, but if something unexpected happened, if they ran out of money, became strapped for cash, and couldn’t even afford to lift the lid of the pot, then what would they do?

On this, Gu Nuan merely thought that this problem was something ordinary people had to consider. To Xiao Yebai, with his three-year-old child’s way of thinking, this couldn’t be called an issue for an ordinary person.

If she really asked him about this problem, his answer would probably annoy her to death.

After so many years of marriage, Gu’s mother had certain experience and told her daughter, "Men are all like this, just like your dad. They spend money freely, never thinking about the future. It’s only us women who think about these things. No money? Just live a life without money, then. Nothing to eat? Just go out and beg. When your dad said these things, I was so angry I could have died."

Gu Nuan: ...

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that the big white dog would surely see eye to eye with her dad.

It was quite frightening to even think about those two meeting.

Finally, Gu’s mother clarified what her son-in-law most wanted to eat tonight, took some shrimp and crab, made fried shrimp, and then steamed crab with spring onions.

She stir-fried some green peppers and also made a bowl of seaweed egg drop soup for each person.

Tonight turned into a seafood feast.

She quickly finished preparing all the dishes.

A few dishes and one soup were set on the table.

Gu’s mother served food to her son-in-law.
