Liang Lu was an excellent cook, a skill she had painstakingly cultivated back at the supply station while pursuing Qi Tongwei, all in an effort to win over Father Qi and Mother Qi. After they married, she had the help of their housekeeper, Elder Sister Wu, a master in the kitchen, and she had even learned medicinal cooking techniques from the Wei family. Not only was her technique refined, but the dishes she prepared were a feast for the eyes, nose, and palate. In no time, she had six exquisite courses on the table.
In contrast, the two younger women could only serve as waitresses, relegated to menial chores like pouring tea and fetching water.
Chen Yang felt incredibly frustrated. She had originally come to see if the lives of Qi Tongwei and his wife were the chaotic mess she had imagined. Instead, she found a home that was neat, tidy, and orderly. Liang Lu had blossomed, radiating a second youth, and was a gifted cook, while Qi Tongwei was busy hand-crafting a crib for their unborn child. She hadn't seen the joke she expected; instead, she had been force-fed a mouthful of "dog food."
