Knowing her guests had strong appetites, Chu Qiao wasn’t worried about not being able to finish them all, but rather not preparing enough. 

She’d prepared a huge pot of rice and steamed numerous flower rolls to accompany the braised pork ribs with beans. If that still wasn’t sufficient, she could also cook some noodles.

“Sister-in-law, you’re too generous, it’s too much.” 

Han Shizhong said, feeling a bit embarrassed. His family didn’t eat this well even during New Year celebrations. 

Chu Qiao was still stir-frying clams. She didn’t see scallops today, so she bought clams instead and stir-fried them with preserved vegetables. It was delicious. 

Hearing Han Shizhong’s comment, she smiled and said, “It’s really not much. This is just how we normally eat, just ordinary home-cooked meals, please help yourselves.”

“This is even better than my family’s New Year dinner.” 

Qian Liujin said, swallowing hard. He was drooling over the braised pork with preserved vegetables that looked shiny, dark, and richly fragrant. It was absolutely irresistible.

Chu Qiao smiled, “Then eat more, don’t leave any behind!”

“Alright!”

Qian Liujin nodded seriously. He was sure he could finish it. 

Han Shizhong was amused, this guy was really lucky. 

He met Gu Ye and Chu Qiao, who were sincere and well-off. If it were a poorer household, eating like this every day would definitely cause problems between husband and wife.

“Xiao Chu, it’s like New Year’s every day at your place, you’re going to make us jealous!”

As soon as the end-of-work bell rang, the hallway filled with people. Someone jokingly said that out loud, half in jest and half envious. 

These past few days, Chu Qiao has been cooking such delicious meals. The adults could still manage, but the children couldn’t stand it, they cried at home for delicious food until their mothers had splitting headaches.

The dishes Chu Qiao made were not cheap at all. Even just one meal like that was hard to justify for those women. 

But when they saw their children cry, their hearts softened. They had no choice but to grit their teeth and indulge in one luxurious meal. It was really delicious, but also really expensive.

Chu Qiao put the stir-fried clams on a plate and said with a smile, “I just can’t help it. I have to eat delicious foods for every meal, otherwise I won’t be able to eat.” 

Her words, neither aggressive nor humble, made the expressions of several housewives unhappy. 

They started cooking their own dinners. But once Chu Qiao went back inside, the women huddled together and started talking with malice.

“Such a lazy woman who only knows how to eat. Hmph! If she weren’t pretty, no one would have married her!” 

“Do you think being pretty is reliable? Just wait, after a while, Section Chief Gu will get tired of her. A woman who doesn’t know how to manage a household is useless, no matter how pretty she is.” 

“Exactly! Eating seafood every day… I went grocery shopping with her last time, and the hairtail fish was 2.8 yuan per catty. She didn’t even blink and bought twelve of them in one go, which cost her over a hundred yuan!”

“Oh my… and Section Chief Gu doesn’t say anything? At this rate, even a mountain of gold would be finished.”

“She’s probably got Section Chief Gu wrapped around her finger in bed. Just wait and see… sooner or later, Xiao Chu will burn through his 60,000 yuan savings. Let’s not say that she’s such a lazy woman who only knows how to eat, but she’s really good at dressing up. She wears different clothes every day, living more comfortably than the old landlord’s wife. She really thinks she’s some rich young lady.”

The more they talked, the more vigorously they got. They even started predicting the divorce date of Chu Qiao and Gu Ye.

“At most, three years, Section Chief Gu will divorce her!”

“I think it won’t even take that long, just one year is enough. No man can tolerate such a spendthrift. No matter how beautiful she is, a man needs a wife who can actually manage a household.”

Chu Qiao opened the door and stepped out. 

The group of women immediately dispersed, looking at her with schadenfreude, as if they could already see her crying and abandoned. They were eagerly waiting for that day to come.
