As soon as he got ho, Mo Han tied on his apron and began to busily work in the kitchen.
After turning on the TV and settling Chen Chen, Luo Ning ca to the kitchen to help as well.
About half an hour later, the father-in-law and mother-in-law returned ho one after another.
Only then did Mo Han start to cook. In less than twenty minutes, five dishes and a soup were ready.
"Mom, did you go play mahjong again?" Seeing her mother looking tired and yawning, Luo Ning knew her mother definitely hadn’t taken a nap at ho but went out to play mahjong instead.
"You little wretch, now you’re going to control too?" Yang ifeng glared furiously, "I’m busy all day long at ho, what’s wrong with going out to play mahjong?"
Luo Ning was also stubborn and retorted, "Mom, busy with what? For the past year, all the housekeeping and cleaning have been done by Mo Han. You do nothing but eat, sleep, get up to play every day. What else have you done?"
Perhaps feeling that her words had been a bit harsh, she softened her tone slightly and said, "Now that Mo Han is better, he is definitely going to work after a while. Who will have the ti to take care of the household chores then?"
"Mom, you’re free now, help out at ho. You and Dad can do the chores from Monday to Friday, Mo Han and I will take care of the weekends, okay?"
Luo Yuantu nodded in agreent, "Ning’er is right, let’s do as you suggest."
He actually very much disliked his wife’s laziness and gluttony.
Before Ning’er and Mo Han moved in with them, he was the one holding down the fort at ho all by himself.
"Oh, look at that! Everyone’s turning the world upside down, huh?" Yang ifeng slapped the table fiercely and shouted in anger, "So what if I played a ga of mahjong? What’s there to talk about!"
"Luo Shanchuan, you have the nerve to criticize ? You leave the house each morning with your cup, not to see chess-playing or so antique, or to drink tea, then what are you putting on airs for?"
"Ning’er, do not think you can order everyone around just because you’re the general manager. I’m your mother, even if you beco the mayor, you’d still have to call mom!"
Seeing the atmosphere at ho growing heavy, Mo Han chuckled and tried to smooth things over, "Mom, Ning’er, I’m actually quite happy taking care of the house now. Let handle the cleaning for now, and when I find a job, we’ll discuss this properly. If it really doesn’t work out, I can clean up when I co ho in the evenings."
"If we’re both out of ti, we could hire a part-ti cleaner..."
"Humph!"
Yang ifeng and Luo Ning humd in unison, starting a cold war between them.
Mo Xiaochen didn’t know what to do and just kept her head down, sipping the fish head with tofu soup.
"Er... Mo Han, I heard that Chen Chen was almost abducted by traffickers today. Is that true?" Luo Shanchuan changed the subject.
If it were any other grandmother, news like this involving their granddaughter would undoubtedly cause great anxiety.
However, Yang ifeng acted as if she hadn’t heard, continuing to drink her soup and eat her al as if it was none of her concern, clearly still annoyed with Luo Ning.
"Hmm," Mo Han nodded, "This afternoon, while Chen Chen and other children were dancing in Qiushui Lake Park, so traffickers took advantage of the teacher going to the restroom to snatch Chen Chen into their car."
"These traffickers are too bold!" Luo Shanchuan slamd the table, filled with righteous anger, "To dare snatch children in broad daylight, how did it end up? How did you find Chen Chen, and what happened to the traffickers?"
What happened?
The corners of Mo Han’s mouth curved slightly upward. Fang Kun and his minions had been hit by his Zixiao Divine Needle; if nothing unexpected happened, they were likely already struggling with unbearable itching and pain and opted to take their own lives.
Mo Han was not a ruthless person, but he would not hesitate to turn into a devil should anyone dare to threaten his wife and Chen Chen.
"Those traffickers were caught," Mo Han said with a smile, "This ti, thanks to a friend who knew soone in the park and got the license plate number, we managed to successfully locate Chen Chen."
As he spoke, Mo Han kept winking at his daughter.
Chen Chen nodded sensibly, "That uncle is really nice, he bought a Barbie doll and lollipops, and told to listen to what Dad says."
The "uncle" she was referring to was He Chen. For so reason, when he saw the lovely Chen Chen, there seed to be a shimr in his eyes. He bought toys and snacks as if Chen Chen was his own daughter.
"That’s a benefactor!" Luo Shanchuan said seriously, "Mo Han, you and Ning’er must find ti to invite that person to dinner to properly thank him!"
"How about this, tomorrow night, at Shangri-La Hotel. The restaurant manager there is my chess buddy’s son; we can get a 20% discount on all dishes."
"i Feng, no matter what, Chen Chen is still our granddaughter. You should contribute so money for this ti, hand over five thousand yuan."
"Five thousand yuan? Why don’t you just say fifty thousand?" Yang ifeng scoffed coldly, "You want money from ? No way!"
"Moreover, I’m busy tomorrow night, I’ve made plans with friends to get my hair done."
With that said, Yang ifeng put down her utensils and took her phone back to her room to play.
Luo Ning was so angry she was practically smoking. Chen Chen had nearly been abducted today, and this grandmother was nonchalant, caring more about getting her hair done than her own granddaughter?
Mo Han also shook his head. Today he had retrieved 1.5 million yuan of principal for his mother-in-law, along with an additional 600,000 yuan of interest, totaling over two million yuan. Yet, his mother-in-law was unwilling to part with even five thousand yuan as a token of gratitude.
It was truly disheartening...
"This..."
Luo Shanchuan gave an awkward smile, as the finances at ho were usually under his wife’s control. He did have so pocket money, but not much, and it needed to last for outings with his old friends.
"Dad, you don’t have to worry about this," Luo Ning said sternly, "Regardless, I’m the general manager of Luo Group now, I have enough to treat soone to dinner."
"In a while, once I have more room to maneuver, I’ll move out with Mo Han and Chen Chen!"
