Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 2038 - 2056: Peeling Potatoes

"Can you fight? Can you beat Zhao Dabao’s cousin?"

Shen Zian let go of his little ear, flexed his wrist, and cracked his knuckles, sneering arrogantly, "I can beat him until he’s half-paralyzed."

"Great! I won’t call you by your nickname anymore." Shen Zihang cheered and ran out to play.

After sending the little rascal away, Shen Zian went into the kitchen trying to mend the strained relationship with Zhao Honglian and improve the Shen Family’s dire situation, starting with the basics.

In the kitchen, Zhao Honglian was busy cooking green beans with pork, a big pot with plenty of portions, using a gas stove, which was quite convenient. The place was small, but it was kept clean and tidy, indicating that the lady of the house liked cleanliness. No wonder every time Shen Weixing brought Zhao Honglian back home, there would always be arguments.

As for Li Erhua and the eldest aunt, they were definitely not associated with cleanliness. The three sisters-in-law couldn’t see eye to eye and looked down on each other; it would be strange if they got along well. In the dream, Shen Weixing, dragged down by the original owner, got dismissed from the army, and Zhao Honglian couldn’t stand the Shen Family’s oddity anymore, divorcing Shen Weixing and taking the kids with her.

It’s said that after remarrying, Zhao Honglian even changed the kid’s surname.

Actually, Shen Zian was a very traditional person. For instance, when it came to Shen Zihang, he was the only child of the third uncle, who valued him more than his own life. After the divorce, no matter what, she didn’t support Shen Zihang taking someone else’s surname.

If it was the previous domineering personality, she would definitely have three words for Zhao Honglian, which is not allowed.

Shen Zian stood at the kitchen door, her gaze at Zhao Honglian was slightly complicated. This woman wasn’t bad, she was good to the third uncle and they had feelings for each other. But later, those feelings were exhausted by various hardships and turned into hatred for the third uncle.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have changed little cousin’s surname.

Zhao Honglian sensed someone behind her, turned around, and asked with puzzlement, "What’s up?" How did her husband’s niece change so much this time?

Shen Zian smiled, "I came to see if there’s anything I can help you with, Auntie?"

"What can you do?" It wasn’t that Zhao Honglian looked down on her; rather, the original owner knew nothing. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been left unmarried.

"Uh..." Only then did Shen Zian realize, and she couldn’t help but twitch her mouth, she... indeed couldn’t do housework.

This was quite similar to the original owner, it was one of their common points.

"I can’t do it, but I can learn!" Shen Zian quickly responded, "I’ll be staying at Auntie’s house for a while. I can’t let Auntie cook alone all the time; I can help you." 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Zhao Honglian looked at her with a strange expression and thought for a while before saying, "Alright, help me peel the potatoes and cut them into strips. You know how to do that, right? Did you ever cut them at home?"

She hadn’t cut them before, but it wasn’t hard for Shen Zian. With a demonstration from Zhao Honglian, she could immediately start.

She used to be quite the expert with knives; things like military knives and bayonets weren’t much different from kitchen knives!

Shen Zian moved swiftly, washing the potatoes cleanly and then wielding the kitchen knife with incredible dexterity, her movements rapid, making the knife flash like a sword dance.

In no time, three large potatoes and four or five small ones were swiftly shredded into fine potato strips. They were all evenly sized, leaving Zhao Honglian dumbfounded, not recovering for quite some time.
