Chapter 443: Afraid That She Would Suffer
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The good thing about Mother Zhai was that even though she wasn’t used to such things, she knew how to respect others and how to be grateful. Hence, she had originally wanted to complain, but she had changed it to,
It’s so late and Wanwan still misses you. You have to thank her properly.”
Zhai Jing took out the food from the bag and saw that there weren’t only food and snacks but also a bowl of easy-to-digest Chinese yam porridge. He knew that Le Wan had specially prepared this for Mother Zhai. The bowl was still warm.
Zhai Jing asked Mother Zhai,
“Are you hungry now? Do you want to eat? If you don’t want to eat it, I’ll put it in the fridge for you. You can heat it up tomorrow.”
Mother Zhai didn’t have the habit of eating supper, so she wasn’t hungry. However, she wanted to accompany her son to eat a few mouthfuls since it was Le Wan’s kind intention.
“It smells quite good. I’ll go get a small bowl. Otherwise, I won’t be able to
finish such a big bowl.”
There was a reason why the food was expensive. The food wasn’t bad, and it looked, smelled, and tasted good. Even Mother Zhai, who was not hungry at first, couldn’t help but eat up a little. Soon after, she finished half a bowl of porridge and saw that Zhai Jing was enjoying it. She only put down her chopsticks after tasting two mouthfuls.
Seeing that Zhai Jing was engrossed in his meal, Mother Zhai’s face revealed a gratified expression.
The mother and son had finally made it through.
She was very glad that she didn’t give up easily back then, so she could still watch her son grow up, watch him enter university, and meet the person he loved.
Mother Zhai thought that since the heavens had blessed her and her son to meet a benefactor who allowed her to survive this crisis, she should live for a long time.
Zhai Jing was already quite hungry, so although Le Wan had ordered quite a lot of food, he quickly finished most of it.
Seeing that he was full, Mother Zhai stood up and wanted to clean up.
Since the hotel charges were so high, they naturally wouldn’t use disposable plastic lunch boxes to pack the food. Instead, they used a set of ceramic plates.
The patterns on it were quite exquisite, and the workmanship was very good. Therefore, after eating, these dishes could be used for household use after they were washed.
Zhai Jing stopped her.
“No need, I’ll clean up. It’s already so late, you should go and rest first.” Mother Zhai slowly insisted.
“I ate something late at night. I should exercise and digest. Otherwise, I’ll be stuffed later.”
Upon hearing her words, Zhai Jing sat down and let Mother Zhai clear the dishes.
There was only a partition between the kitchen and the living room. Hence, Mother Zhai discussed with Zhai Jing, who was sitting in the living room, while washing the dishes.
“Do you think I should do something to thank Wanwan? I said I would invite her over for dinner…”
Mother Zhai thought of the food she had just eaten. It was much more delicious and high-class than what she had cooked.
Le Wan was probably used to eating such good cooking. Mother Zhai was worried that her cooking skills weren’t good enough. If she wasn’t used to the food, she would have to pretend to be happy, according to Le Wan’s considerate personality.
She said that she was thanking her, but wasn’t he actually making things difficult for her?
When Zhai Jing saw how worried Mother Zhai was, he knew that she was thinking too much again. Hence, he suggested,
“The braised pork trotters you made are especially delicious. Why don’t you find some time to cook a big pot? Coincidentally, the Le family also likes this dish very much. I’ll take it over and give it to them.”
Mother Zhai was delighted when she heard that. Then, she felt a little worried.
“This braised pork trotter is just a home-cooked dish. They should have eaten better food before. Wouldn’t it be too rude if we just send it over?”
Zhai Jing had been with the Le family for so many days. He could tell that the Le family weren’t the kind of people who despised the poor and loved the rich. Hence, he comforted Mother Zhai.
“It won’t happen. I mentioned it to Uncle and Auntie once during dinner. They said that they would like to try it if they had the chance.”
Mother Zhai heaved a sigh of relief.
“That’s good.”
She decided to go to the market tomorrow and see if there were any good pig trotters for sale. She would buy a big pot and stew them.
Zhai Jing also liked this dish very much. However, because her health had been getting worse, she hadn’t made this troublesome dish for a long time. She could make more and put it in the fridge to eat as she pleased.
Even so, Mother Zhai still sighed.
“Wanwan is such a good girl and she comes from such a wealthy family. I’m always afraid that we might not be able to do our part and we’ll make her suffer.”
Zhai Jing understood her worries and could only say,
“This is something I should be worried about. You just need to take care of your body and live a relaxed life every day. Don’t worry about anything else.”
After all, he was the one who wanted to spend the rest of his life with Le Wan. As her boyfriend, Zhai Jing was more worried than anyone else that he couldn’t give Le Wan a good life and let her suffer with him..
