The more she thought about what happened in the afternoon, the angrier Han Li became.
Ye Fan had remained a useless bum for three whole years and now he suddenly dared to kick a basin of water on them?
If she didn't teach Ye Fan a good lesson this time round, then Ye Fan would be kicking them next time!
So now that Ye Fan was back, neither Han Li nor Qiu Lei were going to be kind to him.
"What?”
"He's Ye Fan? The live-in son-in-law?"
"Oh dear. Auntie, seriously, I feel so bad for Mu-Cheng."
"Since ancient times, the man has always been the breadwinner while the woman just sits prettily at home. But now, Mu-Cheng has married a useless fellow, so she has to work so hard out there. It's so late and she's still not back yet."
"If I have a daughter and she marries someone like that, I'll definitely find a way to make her divorce him.”
Han Li and the couple continued to chat away about these things.
Ye Fan was already used to it.
They had nothing to do with him anyway, so he couldn't be bothered either.
After getting into the house, he started to make dinner.
Shortly after that, Qiu Mu-Cheng came home too.
"Yuan Yuan, Situ Feng, so sorry to keep you guys waiting. I had to attend to many things in the office and it was hard for me to get away."
It was clear that these two had already told Qiu Mu-Cheng they were coming, so Qiu Mu-Cheng started apologizing to them the moment she walked in through the door.
"Mu-Cheng, it's alright, I can understand. After all, you've unfortunately met a guy who can't do anything, so you would have to work harder. Life is really hard," said Yuan Yuan with a smile.
After that, Qiu Mu-Cheng had a brief chat with Yuan Yuan and Situ Feng.
These two were Qiu Mu-Cheng's classmates.
They didn't contact each other after graduating from university, but they found out where Qiu Mu-Cheng was living from Su Qian and decided to drop by.
"You guys go ahead and enjoy the tea, I'll go to the kitchen. We'll chat over dinner later."
After the brief chat, Qiu Mu-Cheng headed to the kitchen to help Ye Fan.
"Mu-Cheng, why are you going to the kitchen? Are you stupid? All that oil and steam is very bad for your skin! If you absorb too much of it, you might get cancer. It's better to leave such things to Ye Fan. We can't let him eat here for free, right?" said Han Li as she pulled Qiu Mu-Cheng back.
Yuan Yuan chimed in as well, "That's right, Mu-Cheng. You're so tired from a whole day's work too. If you still have to do the chores as well, then what's the point of having this husband?"
"It's alright, I'm not tired." Qiu Mu-Cheng refused to listen to them and just smiled. Then she went to the kitchen to help Ye Fan to wash and cut the vegetables.
Ye Fan had not been around for a couple of weeks, so since Qiu Mu-Cheng couldn't bear to pay to eat out all the time, she learnt how to cook.
So Qiu Mu-Cheng was able to do some simple chores around the house as well.
In no time, the food was ready.
"Ye Fan, come and eat too," Qiu Mu-Cheng yelled towards the kitchen.
Han Li immediately became annoyed. "Mu-
Cheng, why do you bother calling him? He's just a useless bum and it's so embarrassing to have him at the table."
