But Shen Qingshan didn't even look at her, and was looking towards the kitchen with a frown.
"You're sleeping upstairs, so who's cooking in the kitchen?"
"It's Xiao Ning, I'm a little uncomfortable today, so she took the initiative to cook. This child is really sensible." Chen Mingli praised Shen Ning half-heartedly.
She knew that Shen Qingshan cared about this daughter, and if he said bad things about her, Shen Qingshan would not be happy to hear it, and would blame her as the stepmother in his heart.
So she usually uses compliments and rarely criticizes Shen Ning, but she will use another more subtle method to make her husband dissatisfied with this daughter.
"Are you feeling unwell? Do you have a cold?" Shen Qingshan asked immediately.
Chen Mingli was very happy with her husband's concern.
"It's not a cold. It's probably because I didn't sleep well last night. I got some sleep and already feel much better."
Chen Mingli didn't dare to mention her diarrhea, fearing that it would be bad if her husband found out about her daughter's mischief, so she covered it up lightly.
As expected, Shen Qingshan didn't ask any more questions.
"Xiao Ning can cook? I didn't know that before. Xiao Ning is still diligent and capable, unlike Xiao Yun and Tong Tong. One only knows how to buy cosmetics, and the other only knows how to buy famous brands."
The smile on Chen Mingli's face froze.
Damn it!
As soon as this dead girl came back, she immediately compared herself to her own daughter.
Her husband had never spoken of her two daughters in this way before when she was away.
It's a good thing now that the daughters born to the ex-wife are the most beautiful ones, while her two daughters have turned into stinky shit and are worthless in the eyes of their husbands.
Chen Mingli was so angry, but she didn't dare to show it on her face. She had to follow her husband's wishes and praise her ex-wife's daughter.
"Yes, from now on I want Xiaoyun and Tongtong to learn from Xiaoning."
After a pause, she suddenly lowered her voice again:
"Old Shen, is there any news from the Bo family?"
When Shen Qingshan heard this, he frowned even more tightly and glanced in the direction of the kitchen.
"Don't mention this now, we'll talk about it when we go back tonight." His voice was also very low.
Chen Mingli nodded and walked to the kitchen.
"I'm going to see how Xiao Ning is getting ready."
At this moment, Shen Ruotong came back, and she took an exaggerated breath as soon as she entered the door.
"It smells so good! Mom, what delicious food did you make today?"
Chen Mingli stopped and looked at her youngest daughter with a smile on her face.
"Today's dinner was cooked by your second sister, and mom doesn't know."
"Second sister?" Shen Ruotong frowned, "Is it Shen Ning?"
"You are not allowed to call your second sister by her name." Chen Mingli scolded her half-truthfully.
"Isn't it just for calling names?" Shen Ruotong shrugged nonchalantly.
Shen Qingshan walked into the dining room and took a breath when he saw the dishes on the table.
There are not many dishes, only four dishes and one soup.
When Shen Ruotong saw this, he immediately curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Just four dishes? It's not enough. Mom, I don't think she can be trusted at all. Why do you ask her to make dinner? Do you want to starve me to death?"
At this time, Shen Ning came out of the kitchen, carrying a large iron pot, which was steaming and fragrant.
After hearing Shen Ruotong's complaints, she smiled apologetically.
"Isn't it enough? Then I'll make two more dishes."
Shen Qingshan suddenly said: "Whoever said there is not enough food will cook it. I think these dishes are enough. Xiao Ning, what is in your pot? Put it carefully and don't burn it."
"This is stewed fish in an iron pot. Dad, I remember that you used to like this dish made by mom, so I learned to make it. I didn't know if it tasted good the first time I made it."
Shen Ning carefully put down the iron pot and showed a shy smile.
