Chapter Ten Mi Lan's Cooking Skills
As the old saying goes, filial piety comes first.
The man in the family was taking drugs, selling drugs, and harming others and himself, but he was also punished by the law. Because he did not want to support the elderly, he had to sell the house that they were bound to. This woman did not act in an honest way as a daughter-in-law.
Looking at the old lady's eyes that were different from ordinary people's, she must be a few years older than my mother, with gray hair, I felt mixed emotions, especially damn uncomfortable, so I quickly went to help: "Old aunt, you get up first, if you have anything to say
Say it nicely."
The old lady knelt on the ground and couldn't get up. She cried louder and louder: "Lawyer, please, don't help her do evil. I kowtow to you...kowtow."
The old lady pushed my hand away carelessly and started kowtowing on the ground, making a "dong-dong" sound on the floor.
I felt sad and was about to speak when Ms. Wang rushed out, pointed at the old lady and cursed: "Old immortal, if you want to die, you should die as soon as possible. Why are you dragging me along? I won't give you food at night.
I’ll starve you to death!”
Ms. Wang, who had a yellow face, looked at me again and showed an ugly smile: "Lawyer Lu, don't be afraid. This is what she did after she got sick."
The old lady's forehead turned blue from the knock, and she sat on the ground and began to cry.
I pulled Ms. Wang aside and said something more: "If you get divorced and sell the house, what will this old lady do?"
"Then how do I know..."
Ms. Wang rolled her eyes: "You don't care about my business. Lawyer Wang, can you help me..."
I looked at the crying old lady, and then at Ms. Wang with her sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
To be honest, I really want to give Wang a slap in the face right now.
But 40,000 yuan is not a small amount of money to me, and the scale in my heart is still off.
I took the information from Ms. Wang's hand, smiled relaxedly, and said politely: "Well, when is the best time to go to the law firm to sign the agency contract and pay the fees?"
…………
After making an appointment to pay, I came out of the building. I sat in the car and spat outside. It was unfortunate for my family to have such a daughter-in-law at the stall. I encountered all sorts of random things.
For example, Zhao Dehai, this case originally belonged to him, but he didn't want to come, so he sent me here, thus avoiding such a negative and disgusting case in disguise.
This is the difference in environmental impact brought about by different classes.
So in the final analysis, people still have to have money. If you have money, you can avoid these messy things.
This case is Lao Zhao's first-hand source, so there is basically no problem in taking it down.
After the car drove out for a while, I bought a pack of cigarettes. Seeing the dusk approaching and the red glow of the setting sun reflecting in the red clouds, I called Zhao Dehai on the roadside and explained the situation again. I added another sentence, saying that this daughter-in-law was not very nice.
Sample.
Zhao Dehai first wished me immediate success, smiled and said, Xiao Lu, you are still young and you will be fine when you meet more people. Think about it for yourself, do you recognize money? Or recognize people?
I heard a joke before, saying that if you want to go to a sales girl, you give her a thousand yuan, brother, I'm sorry, you are not a human being.
If you give me 50,000 yuan, brother, I will be yours tonight.
You give me half a million, brother, regardless of whether the person coming tonight is a human being.
These words are similar to those of Lao Liu.
I look at the clear sky after the rain in Linhai, and the clear sky. Why do I feel so panicked in my heart?
Zhao Dehai asked me again: "Xiao Lu, are you having a conflict with Lao Liu?"
I hesitated and said it was a little contradictory.
Zhao Dehai said with a smile: "I heard Lao Liu say something in the afternoon. There is nothing against men. You are so young and have many opportunities. There is no need to dwell on one thing and make trouble for yourself. I used to lead it in the army.
There are many soldiers with good qualities in all aspects. Why can't they be good once they enter the society? This means they can't adapt..."
I was not convinced, but I had suffered a lot of iron fists from society in the past few years. When I took Zhao Dehai's case, I could receive the money in less than two days.
I didn’t know if I heard the sentence, so I hung up the phone.
But after all, I gained something today.
Yesterday there was still a bottle of beer at home, so I bought some braised vegetables on the roadside and went home humming a little tune.
As soon as I opened the door, I heard the clinking sound of the cutting board and saw that Mi Lan was still there, but she had put on shorts and was chopping vegetables.
"Why haven't you left yet?" I said to Mi Lan with wide eyes.
Mi Lan ignored me and turned around with a very sweet smile: "Qinzhuo, just wait, the food will be ready soon. Today I asked the aunt upstairs specifically where to buy food, but you don't have anything...
...I took your two hundred yuan to buy some seasonings and a fish. Are you tired from work? You changed your slippers and took a break, smoked a cigarette and drank some water. Oh my God, why are you so miserable?
good?"
Damn it, even the first cry of an animal was very gentle, just like a couple. I was like my husband who had just returned from a day of moving bricks, and Mi Lan was like the little daughter-in-law who was waiting for her husband to come back from get off work for dinner. .
I looked and saw that she had also bought a new mop. The garbage was gone and the floor was mopped clean. The glass ashtray filled with cigarette butts was also clean and clear. It looked like a new one bought in the supermarket. The sofa cover was neatly paved.
Neat and tidy, everything that can be seen is spotless.
I'm still a little uncomfortable sitting down. I don't know where to put my feet. Is this still my fucking home...
After reacting, I thought something was not right. I bought seasonings and cooked again. Are you going to fight a protracted war with me?
As soon as I smoked a cigarette, Mi Lan came over with two dishes and steamed rice.
"You said that a scum like you must have accumulated great virtues in your previous life. Where can you find a girl as good as me? Hey, she is like a snail girl. She is good at singing and dancing and can work in the hall or in the kitchen. I will do it for you.
You feel happy."
Mi Lan chuckled, put the dishes on the table, and looked at me as if to please.
I looked at the food, but I still didn't take my chopsticks.
"Lu Yao, why don't you eat?" Mi Lan stared at me.
"Are you serious? Are you trying to poison me?"
I felt sad and pointed at the dish on the left: "If I guessed correctly, this thing with different lengths is beans, right? What is that dark thing next to it??"
"Ham sausage, can't you see this?"
I silently pointed to the darker dish next to me: "If I guess correctly, this is fish, right?"
"Yeah, that's right." Mi Lan blinked: "Braised fish, I learned it with my mobile phone. It's my first time making it. You can try it."
"Charcoal grilled fish is actually more appropriate..."
I was extremely worried about whether the only wok in the kitchen was still alive and well.
I poured the two plates of food directly into the trash can next to me and opened the stewed vegetables I bought: "I'd better eat this."
"You big pig's hooves! Do you know that I have been busy all afternoon making these two dishes!" Mi Lan looked at the trash can distressedly, holding back her mouth and about to cry.
"Don't cry!" I pointed at her with my chopsticks.
She rolled her eyes at me, sat down and looked at me, holding the stewed vegetables in my plastic bag with her fingers and eating them blatantly, sucking her fingers with relish, I said you can leave after you finish eating, I
It's really inconvenient.
"I have something to ask of you." Mi Lan mustered up the courage to look at me.
"I've given you the money, what else do you want?" I put down my chopsticks, feeling like I had a severe headache when facing Mi Lan, so I leaned on the sofa helplessly and said, "What's the matter?"
"Then I said, you are not allowed to be angry." Mi Lan was quite afraid of me, so she subconsciously moved away from me, sitting upright on the small bench with her long legs.
"Say, if you keep whining, I'll get angry."
"Oh, let me tell you." Mi Lan said cautiously: "Do you know why I have no money?"
"Why?" I said absentmindedly.
