Chapter 1399: You’re Not the One Cooking

Cai Anqi wanted Ning Shu to cook, but in the end, she brought up menopause. Unable to say anything, Cai Anqi was left fuming.
This old woman really thought of herself as a rich elderly lady who lived comfortably.
Cai Anqi was left with no choice but to order, but she wasn’t as extravagant this time. There were only three dishes and one soup.
It was a far cry from the feast she had ordered for lunch that had filled half of the table.
When the food delivery arrived, she took out her wallet to pay with a dark expression.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. She was supposed to be a married woman. You marry a man to be taken care of and fed for a lifetime. So why was she being forced to support this entire family?
Cai Anqi glared at Ning Shu, who was setting the table, and said to her, “Since my poor mother isn’t feeling well enough to take care of the household, I think Wang Bo’s salary should be handed to me.”
Ning Shu lifted her brows and said, “Let’s first wait for Wang Bo to come back. Let’s see what he has to say.”
Cai Anqi’s tense expression eased a little. Wang Bo would definitely hand her all his money as long as she tried to please him a little.
Wang Bo, who came back from a day’s hard work, was feeling exhausted. Cai Anqi went to greet him, and the first sentence that came out of her mouth was, “Wang Bo, you’ll give me your salary card, won’t you?”
Wang Bo was stunned by the sudden demand. With a dazed look on his face, Wang Bo turned towards Ning Shu for an explanation.
Ning Shu said, “Go wash your hands. Let’s eat first.”
Wang Bo walked past Cai Anqi and went to the bathroom to wash his hands.
Cai Anqi’s expression turned dark as she stomped her feet in anger. She got frustrated seeing Wang Bo being so obedient to Ning Shu’s words.
Wang Bo washed his hands, sat on the chair, and looked at the dishes on the table. After a moment of silence, he asked, “Is this another takeout?”
“What else do you think this is?” Cai Anqi sat next to Wang Bo and said, “It takes money to order meals. Wang Bo, Mother isn’t in good health and can’t take proper care of the household. Please give me your salary card.”
Wang Bo frowned in disapproval and said, “I still feel that it’s better to cook at home.”
“It’s easy for you to say. You’re not the one cooking,” retorted Cai Anqi.
Wang Bo was left shocked by Cai Anqi’s aggressiveness and couldn’t speak a word for a long time.
Ning Shu observed Wang Bo’s unhappy face and understood why he was upset.
There wasn’t a single dish on the table that Wang Bo liked. Cai Anqi had only ordered things that she liked.
It could be understood by small details like this when one person didn’t care about the other.
Cai Anqi didn’t like the dull and wooden Wang Bo. She chose Wang Bo only because he was simple-minded. Even if he were to discover something about her, he would ultimately decide to bear with it because of his weak personality.
Although there was a mother-in-law in the family, Wang Bo and his mother both were too naive and simple. Cai Anqi had been confident that she wouldn’t suffer when she married into the family.
Besides, her family had been pressuring her to get married, and all women eventually had to get married. Cai Anqi knew her situation well. If she had married into a family with better conditions, she would surely be abandoned by the husband because she has had several abortions in the past so it wouldn’t be easy for her to get pregnant again.
A modest family like Wang Bo’s was the better choice for her. They would definitely worship and cherish her.
Wang Bo’s family conditions were okay. Wang Bo had a steady job, and his family owned a house.
Ning Shu turned towards Wang Bo and said, “Anqi is your wife. There’s nothing wrong with giving her money.”
Cai Anqi looked towards Ning Shu with slight suspicion. She wasn’t ready to believe that this old woman was suddenly so kind-hearted.
