CHAPTER 109: 109: PROMISING (PART 1)_1

After a while, Dong Huiying asked Yixuan to bring a wooden board as a tray, then carried over the meat soup, side dishes, and pancakes, walking into the southern room.

"This is for Shu Yu, Shujun, Haoming, and Yixuan."

Yixuan looked at his three elder brothers, then at Dong Huiying, who was tidying up her sleeves.

"Gurgle," she paused, then awkwardly touched her own stomach.

"I’m hungry too, alright, you guys eat, I’m going too."

She went out and entered the Liang family’s outer room used for dining, only to see four eyes and four gazes simultaneously landing on her.

"Uh..." Honestly, it gave her a tingling sensation on her scalp.

After she sat down, she glanced at the dishes on the table, and then hesitantly asked, "Is it not to your taste?" She was quite confident in her cooking skills, but the dishes on the table, aside from the stir-fried intestines that had been picked at with chopsticks a few times, were otherwise untouched.

Liang Zhichen passed her a pair of chopsticks, "Please go ahead."

Dong Huiying was taken aback again, then picked up some green vegetables with her chopsticks. After that, she was dumbfounded.

After Dong Huiying put down her chopsticks, Liang Zhichen and Liang Yuening also grabbed their own, eating vigorously and quickly, clearly having a very good appetite.

She smiled softly with chopsticks in her mouth.

Yeah, this feeling, it’s not bad at all.

...

Dong Huiying cooked according to the number of people, but after the meal, looking at the Liang Family Brothers, they seemed as if they had not had enough to eat. She was secretly shocked and resolved that next time she cooked, she would definitely make more.

After the meal, she intended to clear the table and wash the dishes, but to her surprise, the brothers were more proactive than any, not requiring any cleaning up from her end, even Liang Yuening, who usually looked at her with half-closed, disdainful eyes, was now lowing his gaze and obediently following his brothers in wiping the table and picking up bowls.

This was just perfect.

Dong Huiying loved cooking, but she really didn’t like washing pots and dishes, especially since her hands would get greasy when washing dishes, which was rather uncomfortable.

All was quiet, and the night enshrouded the mountains, making the village seem to blend into the darkness.

Dong Huiying did not idle, and after dinner, she started processing the herbs she had bought from town earlier on.

There were many types of herbs, most of which were bought for Liang Shuyu, and some injury medicine that could be made into "Golden Sore Powder," with effects for stopping bleeding and healing wounds that were all quite impressive. These were prepared for Liang Shujun, Liang Haoming, and Liang Yixuan, as well as for emergency needs. As for the rest, they were for detoxification and beautification.

Because the workload was so huge, she worked until late at night and, becoming too tired, she turned off the light and went to sleep.

In the following days, Dong Huiying processed the herbs and found that there wasn’t a bathtub at home, so she decided to have two custom made, which led to an unexpected joy.

Liang Haoming’s carpentry was very good; for instance, the bathtub that Liang Shujun had in his rented room in town was made by Liang Haoming himself.

Dong Huiying was quite bold by nature. One day, when she fell asleep in the bath, Liang Haoming saw her naked body. At first, it was quite awkward, but gradually, it became less of a concern for her.

Life was full of imperfections, and she couldn’t keep running away from them, so she had to face them. After facing them, she realized that being open-minded was not as difficult as she had imagined it to be.

That day, Dong Huiying asked Liang Zhichen to help heat a large pot of hot water.

Considering everyone at home, only Liang Zhichen and Liang Yuening were relatively healthy; the others...
