He Jing maintained a calm and resigned gaze as she locked eyes with him.

“A genius like you can effortlessly make delicious dishes as long as you use your brain. As long as you find a program to watch, you will know everything. You don’t need to work hard or exert much effort to achieve success. Whereas, I can barely reach your level only by constantly studying and working hard. I can’t even compare to one-tenth of you.”

“How can someone like you understand my pain?”

“If I don’t submit satisfactory dishes, the He family will also be dragged down by me.”

Unwillingness, resentment, and hateful words echoed throughout the kitchen, making people’s ears numb.

He Jing wanted to laugh but felt helpless. She asked slowly, “Do you think so?”

“What else?” He Zhou scooped the crab out of the clear water again and tied it up with a straw rope. “Do you want me to believe that a person who dropped into the He family halfway would care about the safety of the He family?”

“You don’t mind, of course, you don’t have any pressure. Of course, you can stand there and say those words without feeling the slightest discomfort, but I can’t. The He family is so poor, yet there are so many people to support. How can I let the He family lose money for me? If I do something wrong, I can only bear it myself.”

Life was like a sharp blade hanging over their heads. None of them dared to relax. They desperately wanted to contribute to this family and let this family have a glimmer of light.

This was something that a rich young lady like He Jing couldn’t understand. She wasn’t a real young lady, but she had enjoyed more than ten years of luxury. Would she really stoop down to experience their hardships?

She wouldn’t.

And he didn’t believe that she would.

“Hu…” He Jing looked at him for a while and exhaled. “Although I understand third brother’s difficulties, you’ve occupied the kitchen for so long. It’s mine now.”

He Zhou’s expression changed abruptly and asked in disbelief, “What do you mean?”

He Jing finished washing the dishes in a few minutes and dried her hands. Then, she carried the vegetables she had bought from the market that evening to the kitchen counter and said, “It’s what it means literally. Third brother, you’ve already occupied the kitchen for four hours. I think as a member of the He family, I should have the right to use it. There are only two hours left before everyone’s rest time. Third brother used four hours, and I’ll use two hours. Isn’t that reasonable?”

He Zhou’s expression turned cold instantly, and his voice was tinged with annoyance, “Are you deliberately looking for trouble with me?”

He Jing looked up and smiled sweetly. “How could that be? My request is very reasonable.”

He Zhou was speechless. He had just tied up the crab and was about to put it into the pot to steam it, he had no choice but to put it down.

What could he do? If he had a dispute with He Jing, no one in the He family would help him except He Yi.

So, he turned around and left. From the corner of his eye, he saw He Jing taking out fresh crabs and prawns from the bag. His heart skipped a beat, and he stopped in front of the kitchen door.

He Jing glanced at him. He Zhou was almost angered out of humiliation and said, “Can’t I cook? Can’t I even watch?”

“Of course you can.” He Jing’s red lips curved into a smile. “I’m making a slightly complicated dish. Third brother, bring a chair over and sit down to watch. ”

“No, why should I listen to you?”

He Jing was at a loss for words.

He Jing skillfully cleaned up all the prawns and crabs. She cut them into pieces and fried them in the pot. She soaked a cauliflower in salt water and separately whipped the eggs.

He Zhou didn’t know what she was going to do.

It wasn’t until He Jing took the initiative to speak that she said, “I want to make Garlic Seafood Udon, Blanching Spotted Prawn, boiled broccoli as side dishes, and a simplified version of Dragon’s roar apple as dessert.”

He Zhou was speechless.

He thought, “What was wrong with this woman? Does she even know how to make desserts?”
