Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 693

Chapter 693: Hidden Intentions
When Liu Hua went to the Lu family’s house yesterday, she and Wang Muxiao had already prepared the seasonings and wrapped them in oil paper. This way, no one will know what seasonings they are using in their cooking.

Liu Hua glanced at her eldest sister-in-law, raised the corners of her lips, and said, “Mother, ah Xiao and I prepared the seasoning for us to use yesterday. I put it in the cabinet.”

“Ah? Ah Hua, why bother her with such a trivial matter? Her pregnancy is already very difficult.” Mother Liu was nagging as she opened the cabinet.

“Mother, Ah Xiao is not as fragile as you think.” Liu Hua smiled.

No one knows how strong her best friend is. Even Lu Cheng regarded Wang Muxiao as a fragile porcelain doll. But she knew her friend could still run and walk without any problems even with her big belly if she wanted to.

Mother Liu saw a bamboo basket filled with several oil paper packets, took it out and asked, “Ah Hua, is it the seasoning?”

Liu Hua nodded and said, “Mothe, the one with the cross mark is for the steamed bun fillings.”

Mother Liu took the five packets with cross marks and said, “Why did you prepare so many seasonings?”

Liu Hua looked at the amount of fillings in the basin and said, “Mother, the amount of fillings requires three packets of seasonings.”

Although Mother Liu felt that mixing the seasonings was a waste since they couldn’t use it for other dishes if it was too much, she said nothing and poured three packets of seasonings into the large basin of stuffing.

Seeing the mixed seasonings, Shi Qiwan muttered, “Hmph! Mixing the seasonings, are you afraid that we will steal the recipe?”

This time, before Mother Liu could scold her, Liu Hua said, “Eldest sister-in-law, this seasoning is Lu Jueyu’s secret recipe. You don’t think you can learn it for free, do you?”

Shi Qiwan was dissatisfied with her tone and sneered, “It’s just a simple steamed bun filling. I don’t know why everyone regards it as a treasure. Even if it is Lu Jueyu’s secret recipe, since she taught you, then she shouldn’t mind you teaching someone else either, after all, if she didn’t want you to share the recipe, she shouldn’t be teaching you in the first place.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Mother Liu and her two sisters-in-law looked at her in disbelief. As everyone knows, it is a basic courtesy not to spread other people’s secret recipes without permission.

How could Shi Qiwan’s mind be so twisted that she took a person’s generosity and kindness for granted?

Liu Hua already knew that her eldest sister-in-law had always been a selfish, greedy, and narrow-minded person. But she didn’t expect that she would dare to say these words without a hint of shame.

She stopped kneading the dough, looked at Shi Qiwan with mockery in her eyes, and said, “Eldest sister-in-law, your shamelessness today hit a new high that really opened my eyes.”

“You!”

Before Shi Qiwan finished speaking, Liu Hua interrupted her, “Shi Qiwan, do you think that everyone owes you something, so you can take other people’s generosity and kindness for granted?”

“If I am not Wang Muxiao’s best friend, do you think Lu Jueyu will teach me her secret recipe and send so many fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs, and meat to our Liu family?” she added.

“It doesn’t matter if you don’t appreciate Lu Jueyu’s kindness, but as my eldest sister-in-law, you should at least think about my reputation when you try to take advantage of my friends. If I don’t guard myself against you, are you sure you won’t steal the secret recipe and sell it for money?” she asked.

“Liu Hua, how can you talk to me like this? I am your eldest sister-in-law, someone who is equal to your mother!” Shi Qiwan said angrily.

“So, you also know that you are Ah Hua’s eldest sister-in-law. I thought you forgot your status and regarded my daughter as your cash cow!” Mother Liu suddenly said.

Sensing the anger in her mother-in-law’s voice, Shi Qiwan looked at her and was shocked when she saw her mother-in-law looking at her with cold eyes.

Remembering her words, she panicked and said, “Mother, I was just kidding. How can I do that to Ah Hua? You know I’m not that kind of person ah.”

Mother Liu didn’t want to ruin today’s joy because of this incident, so she held back her anger.

After a moment of silence, she finally said, “Eldest daughter-in-law, we don’t need your help in the kitchen. Go out and take care of the children outside.”

Shi Qiwan was stunned when she heard her words. She dislikes helping in the kitchen. But if her mother-in-law kicks her out and forbade her to enter the kitchen, her husband will definitely ask her about the reason.

Her husband loves Liu Hua the most and would definitely ignore her if he knew that she planned to steal the secret recipe. Because of the Huang family’s affairs, their relationship is no longer what it used to be. If he knew she was still trying to take advantage of his sister, she might lose her husband’s heart forever.

Thinking of this possibility, she finally realized the seriousness of the matter.

“Mother, I’m sorry, please let me help in the kitchen. With Fuyan taking care of her younger siblings, they don’t need me to take care of them,” she pleaded.

Mother Liu knew that her eldest son had been very cold towards his wife lately because of her daughter’s previous engagement. As a mother, she doesn’t want to see her son unhappy with his marriage. After weighing the pros and cons, Mother Liu glanced at her daughter.

Seeing Liu Hua nodding to her, she finally said, “You’d better behave yourself and stop making trouble. Otherwise, you can pack your clothes and go back to your parents’ house.”
