Chapter 189 Pregnancy is Not Easy 1
On a lazy weekend afternoon, Su Su nestled comfortably on the sofa, her eyes glued to the television screen, completely absorbed in the captivating storyline.
Just as she was engrossed in watching, a hand suddenly reached out and snatched the remote control from her hand with a "smack."
Su Su was startled by the sudden action and subconsciously turned her head, only to see Huang Yang standing next to the sofa with no smile on his face.
"What are you standing there for? Cook!" Huang Yang's tone was harsh and urgent.
"Why are you looking at me? Can't you see we have guests? Hurry up and cook, are you trying to starve us?"
Seeing that Su Su remained motionless, Huang Yang's impatience grew, and his tone became even sharper.
"Didn't you see I'm pregnant? Why should I cook?" Su Su retorted without any politeness.
"Hey!" Huang Yang said to his friend as if he had heard the biggest joke in the world, with a contemptuous smile on his face, "Look at you, you think you're an emperor just because you're pregnant. To put it bluntly, you just don't want to work anymore."
His words seemed to freeze the air, making the atmosphere awkward.
"It's not like you can't do it. So what if you're pregnant? Do you expect me to feed you myself?" Huang Yang continued to make sarcastic remarks, completely unaware of how hurtful his words were.
He stood there with his arms crossed, looking superior.
“I won’t do it, you do it. I’m having morning sickness and I’m not feeling well.”
"See? I told you so! She thinks she's some kind of precious treasure just because she's pregnant!"
Huang Yang continued relentlessly, clapping his hands horizontally, trying to get his friends to join him and put pressure on Su Su.
"Yes, sister-in-law! Even though you're pregnant, you can still cook a meal. Otherwise..."
One of the friends had just opened his mouth, but before he could finish speaking, his wife swiftly covered his mouth. She glared at him, seemingly scolding him for not being perceptive.
However, another person, completely oblivious to the atmosphere and expressions, spoke up, seemingly unaware of the tension that filled the air.
“Sister-in-law is not showing yet. When your sister-in-law was pregnant, she was still just as capable as ever.”
Upon hearing this, Su Su retorted without hesitation: "And now look what happened? In the end, we divorced, and now I don't even have a wife anymore, hahaha."
Her tone was full of sarcasm, mercilessly hitting the other person's sore spot.
Just then, another couple quickly stepped in to smooth things over.
The husband said to Su Su with a big smile, "Sister-in-law, you can just sit here. We'll cook the food!"
His wife chimed in, "That's right! Pregnancy is such a big deal, how can we let you do chores? You already work so hard!"
Speaking of work, she suddenly remembered that she still had a job she hadn't quit.
No way, I'm firing the boss tonight.
"No need, no need. You are guests, how can we let you cook? Your sister-in-law can do it, she cooks well!"
As Huang Yang spoke, he quickly took a few steps to block the couple who were about to get up and go to the kitchen.
His arms were slightly outstretched, as if forming an invisible barrier, determined not to let the couple step into the kitchen.
At this moment, his face was plastered with a deliberate smile, a smile so fake that it was easy to see through at a glance.
His gaze darted around, glancing at his friends every now and then, as if he were desperately seeking some kind of approval, or as if he were trying his best to save face.
In his mind, he probably felt that making his wife obediently cook in front of her friends was the proper way for him to demonstrate his "authority" as the head of the family.
Meanwhile, Mo Jian, seeing Huang Yang like this, wanted to show that he and Huang Yang were "of one mind," and also to provoke Su Su.
A smile appeared on his slightly greasy face, and he eagerly opened his mouth, ready to agree with Huang Yang's words.
He was a step too slow; his quick-thinking friend had already grasped the situation.
The friend quickly reached out and covered Mo Jian's mouth, shaking his head vigorously at Mo Jian with anxious and warning eyes, signaling him not to add fuel to the fire and make things worse.
Huang Yang was completely absorbed in his own world and was oblivious to their subtle actions.
His gaze was fixed on Su Su, as if he wanted to see right through her.
Immediately afterwards, he walked over and reached out, grabbing Su Su's arm with astonishing strength.
He kept muttering, "Come inside with me, let's talk about it."
As soon as they entered the room, Huang Yang let go of Su Su's arm and said impatiently, "What will it take for you to cook? You can't let me lose face in front of my brothers!"
His tone carried a hint of pleading, but it was mostly a command.
"Cooking?" Su Su smiled coldly, her smile full of sarcasm.
She slowly extended her hand, looking at Huang Yang with a determined gaze, "Sure! Here's the money, three thousand!"
"Why would I ask you to cook a meal?" Huang Yang was immediately enraged upon hearing this.
His face flushed instantly, and the veins on his forehead bulged slightly. He irritably tossed his hair, seemingly incredulous at Su Su's request.
Su Su met Huang Yang's gaze without flinching, spread her hands, and said firmly, "No money, then there's no room for negotiation."
"If you don't want to pay, then cook it yourself. Who hires someone to cook and doesn't pay? What? You want to get something for free?"
Huang Yang suppressed his anger and quickly glanced outside the living room, where he saw several of his friends curiously watching what was happening in their direction.
He gritted his teeth, weighed the pros and cons, and ultimately chose to compromise.
"Fine, I'll give it to you, you go ahead and cook." His voice carried a hint of reluctance.
"You turn it first, then I'll do it!"
Su Su did not back down. She quickly took out her phone, opened the QR code for receiving payments, and held it straight in front of Huang Yang. Her eyes revealed an undeniable determination, indicating that Huang Yang should pay.
Huang Yang paid the money promptly, but then heard someone say, "This is for cooking; you haven't paid for the groceries yet!"
"What???" Huang Yang screamed.
"Brother Huang, Sister-in-law, what's wrong? Why don't we go out to eat? That way we won't have to wash the dishes, it'll be so much easier! We've already discussed it and we all agree to eat out."
These words were extremely grating to Huang Yang, especially since he had already given Su Su three thousand.
"No, I've already invited you all to eat at home, how can you eat out? Your sister-in-law can handle it."
So he transferred three thousand to Su Su and told her to hurry up and buy groceries.
Su Su rolled her eyes and went out.
