Chapter 1446: Chapter 1445 is completely useless, truly useless!

Lin Dong spent half an hour in the kitchen preparing the medicine, and finally, the ointment was ready.

After the ointment was ready, Lin Dong brought it to Chu Yunxiu.

"Aunt Chu, you can apply the ointment yourself."

Chu Yunxiu looked at the dark, ugly ointment and felt disgusted.

She couldn’t help but ask, "Lin Dong, is this ointment really effective? If it’s useless and ruins my face, I’ll hold you accountable!"

"You can choose not to use it," Lin Dong said indifferently.

Chu Yunxiu glared at him. "Damn, I’ve never seen a son-in-law like you. Other daughters’ husbands always try to please their mothers-in-law. Are you just trying to piss me off?"

Qiao Bing quickly said, "Mom, let me help you apply it. Lin Dong is the number one doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Dragon Country. If he can’t fix your face, then who can?"

"You should trust him."

Chu Yunxiu nodded, sighing in her heart; she had just been speaking thoughtlessly. How could she truly not use it?

Qiao Bing was applying the ointment to Chu Yunxiu at the moment.

Soon, Chu Yunxiu’s face was covered in a layer of the black ointment.

Lin Dong said, "After twenty minutes, you can wash it off."

Qiao Bing timed it for Chu Yunxiu.

Lin Dong then said, "I’ll go and make some noodles."

About ten minutes later, Lin Dong had cooked the plain noodles and brought them to Qiao Bing.

"Sister Bing, you must be hungry, have some noodles," Lin Dong said, handing Qiao Bing a bowl with two eggs in it.

"Mmm," Qiao Bing nodded and began to eat.

Chu Yunxiu remembered her daughter didn’t eat egg yolks. She glanced at the two eggs in her daughter’s bowl; the yolks had been removed. They were in Lin Dong’s own bowl.

As a mother, she had always done this for Qiao Bing when she was little; now, years later, the person doing it for her daughter had changed.

"Lin Dong, these noodles are really good. But they’re a bit hot. Could you blow on them for me?" Qiao Bing cooed.

"Mmm," Lin Dong responded, taking the bowl from her hands and blowing on it to cool it down.

Qiao Bing looked at Lin Dong with satisfaction and affection.

Chu Yunxiu turned her head away, her emotions mixed. "Forget it, I won’t interfere with her anymore. Lin Dong as a son-in-law isn’t as bad as I had imagined."

"He’s only slightly worse than Lin Tiance, but compared to others, he is quite excellent."

After twenty minutes, Chu Yunxiu washed off the black ointment from her face.

Then she looked at herself in the mirror and found it unbelievable.

"It’s healed, and there’s not a single scar left. Not bad, Lin Dong. Your medical arts are indeed remarkable," Chu Yunxiu said in surprise.

Lin Dong shrugged and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie."

Chu Yunxiu looked at Lin Dong with a strange expression and asked, "Why are you speaking so nicely to me now? I’m not used to it."

Lin Dong spread his hands and said, "Auntie, when you speak nicely, I speak nicely too. Actually, I’m not used to being praised by you either!"

"Get lost, a few kind words and you take it too far," Chu Yunxiu said, pouting.

"Mom, you should eat some noodles too. Lin Dong’s cooking is really good," Qiao Bing said to Chu Yunxiu, whose facial skin had recovered.

Chu Yunxiu nodded, "Indeed, I’m hungry. Let’s have a taste."

Qiao Bing served her a bowl of noodles; Chu Yunxiu took a few bites and then Qiao Bing asked with a smile, "Mom, how is it? Isn’t Lin Dong’s cooking skill great?"

Chu Yunxiu had to admit that Lin Dong, the kid, actually had pretty decent cooking skills. Though they fell slightly short of a five-star chef’s noodle-making abilities, he had already surpassed many professional chefs.

But such words of praise, she didn’t want to say them anymore, otherwise that kid would become too smug.

"It’s okay, but still lacking compared to me. There’s still room for improvement," she said.

What else could be expected, he was Lin Dong, after all. Had it been someone else, say Lin Tiance, she definitely would have heaped on the praise. But with Lin Dong, all she could say was, you still have a long way to go.

"All lies," Qiao Bing made a ghost face and said to her mother, Chu Yunxiu.

Chu Yunxiu, having no choice, bowed her head and continued eating her noodles.

Three bowls of them, to be precise.

Mmm, really delicious.

After finishing the noodles, Qiao Bing went to wash the dishes.

The night was also getting deeper.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Qiao Bing stealthily approached Chu Yunxiu, cleared her throat to signal her attention, and said, "Mom, it’s getting dark, you should head back."

"Huh?" Chu Yunxiu was taken aback, "What are you talking about? It’s late at night, and you’re telling me to leave? Isn’t it common practice for mothers to stay overnight and leave the next day when it gets dark? Why are you doing the opposite?"

Qiao Bing cleared her throat and said, "Because, tonight, I am planning to make children with Lin Dong."

Chu Yunxiu: "..."

This daughter, what a complete waste.

She said coldly, "There are so many rooms here, I won’t leave. I won’t disturb you two; whatever you want to do is none of my business."

Qiao Bing could only sigh and say, "Alright then, but... my voice might be a bit loud, I’m afraid I will disturb you."

"I’ll go to the room furthest away, okay?" Chu Yunxiu gave her a look. Her daughter, once grown up, really became like water poured out.

Qiao Bing was helpless too; since her mother was unwilling to leave, there was nothing she could do about it.

In the late night, Chu Yunxiu lay alone in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

She was reflecting on her life.

When one can’t sleep at night, and especially when one reaches a certain age, it’s easy to think about the past.

That was the exact state she found herself in at the moment.

She was pondering her own life, thinking about the days before she was married. Back then, she was just like her younger daughter, believing strongly that when she married, it must be for love.

However, she thought she had married for love, but she didn’t expect it turned out to be marrying a ’trash’—a man who was irresponsible from the start to finish. In the end, she had no choice but to raise her two daughters on her own.

She never considered finding someone else. From the moment she became a single mother, she stopped believing in any man.

Of course, she still believed in love. It’s just that, she didn’t believe love would come her way again. She believed that love and riches would instead come to her daughters.

She felt that her eldest daughter was fortunate, having encountered both love and a wealthy family. As for the younger daughter, she had previously thought she might follow in her footsteps and lead a hard life. But looking at it now, it didn’t seem as pessimistic as she had imagined.

"A man who, just like this mother, carefully picks out the things she doesn’t like from her food before eating; even if he is less than perfect, how bad could he really be?"

"Perhaps, I really did misjudge before..." she muttered.

Just then, she heard her daughter’s voice.

Instantly, the corner of her mouth began to twitch, and she couldn’t help but scold, "Lin Dong, I take back what I said just now. You scoundrel, you’re just as despicable as you’ve always been."

The sound went on for a long time, and Chu Yunxiu, with a dark face, couldn’t help but talk to herself again, "This daughter of mine, truly wasted, completely wasted."

"You’re not even married yet, and you’re so eager to have children for someone else. Sinful... I do not want to become a grandmother so soon."
