The Villain's Mother

Chapter 296 - If you upset Mom, you’ll have to bear the consequences of that on your own. (1)

The food market wasn’t dirty, but it had a smell, so Ruan Xia quickly finished her grocery shopping and went home. It was still early. Little Wang had lunch in kindergarten with his friends. Song Tingshen seldom came home to eat dinner during this period, but she still sent him a message on WeChat to ask if he would come home for dinner. After getting an affirmative answer, Ruan Xia concentrated on studying recipes.

She had lived alone after graduating college. When she wasn’t in the mood to eat takeout, she would cook simple dishes for herself, so she had experience cooking. She had settled on tonight’s menu. It included Little Wang’s favorite coca, cola chicken wings, Song Tingshen’s favorite, braised pork ribs, sour and spicy shredded potatoes, and mushrooms and bak choy. There was meat and vegetables. It was a very nutritionally balanced menu.

These four dishes weren’t difficult to cook, and Ruan Xia began carefully preparing them at 4PM.

By the time Ruan Xia finished shredding two potatoes, she almost couldn’t keep her back straight. Cooking wasn’t as simple as she thought…

Fortunately, although she was a novice in the kitchen, she wasn’t completely clueless. She strictly followed the recipes and tasted the food she made. They weren’t bad. Although it wasn’t up to the cooking level of the housekeeper aunty, it was good enough.

Ruan Xia was immediately full of confidence. As long as she practiced hard, her cooking skill would naturally get better with time. If she wasn’t too busy with her future job, it wouldn’t be a problem for her to cook dinner each night.

She wasn’t scared of living such a life. She was an ordinary person to begin with. Even if there were trials in the future, she would be able to calmly face them as long as she was with Song Tingshen and Little Wang.

When Little Wang and Song Tingshen returned home, dinner was ready. Ruan Xia also specially took out fruit from the refrigerator to show off her skills by making a fruit plate after dinner. With tonight’s dinner, she would prove that she could take of Song Tingshen and Little Wang very well. They didn’t need to employ a housekeeper aunty.

Song Tingshen and Little Wang looked at the four dishes on the table. They were incredulous.

Little Wang asked, “Wow, Mom, did you make all of this?”

Ruan Xia was still wearing an apron. She proudly raised her small chin. “Yes, your mom made all of this! Go wash your hands and get ready to eat.”

Song Tingshen glanced at Ruan Xia in surprise. He didn’t say anything and led Little Wang to the bathroom to wash their hands.

He didn’t forget to tell Little Wang, “Even if dinner tastes bad, we still have to eat it. You can’t say Mom’s food tastes bad. Understand?”

It wasn’t that Song Tingshen didn’t believe in Ruan Xia. The noodles she cooked tasted very good, but when he thought about it carefully, cooking noodles didn’t require much skill. Cooking dishes was different. Moreover, the dishes she made today require more skills.

Children didn’t know they had to be tactful. Song Tingshen didn’t want Little Wang’s reaction to the food to hurt Ruan Xia’s feelings. Thus, he exhorted earnestly that Little Wang had to pretend the food tasted delicious even if it didn’t.

Little Wang was only a child and only looked forward to eating the food his mom made. He urged Song Tingshen, “Dad, hurry up! I want to eat Mom’s cooking.”

Song Tingshen sighed. “Did you listen to what Dad said? If you upset Mom, you’ll have to bear the consequences of that on your own.”
