Reborn in the 90s with a Space: Winning Back My Husband

”Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey! What is this flavor? It’s disgusting!”

Guo Chunxiang spat several times, but the salty, spicy, and sour taste still lingered in her mouth. It was so nauseating it made her want to vomit.

”Shen Nian, you did this on purpose, didn’t you? How could you be so vicious!”

Guo Chunxiang lifted her head and roared at Shen Nian. In her eyes, Shen Nian had clearly done this just to mess with her!

Startled by Guo Chunxiang’s roar, Shen Nian couldn’t help but take two small steps back. The expression on her face immediately faltered, as if she had been frightened by Guo Chunxiang.

Of course, Shen Nian wasn’t actually scared. After watching Qin Xueling’s act so many times, playing the part of an innocent, helpless girl was no trouble at all.

However, the rest of the Shen family didn’t think Shen Nian was pretending. Seeing her face pale after being frightened by Guo Chunxiang, their own expressions turned grim.

And Lu Cheng, for his part, shot up from his seat, walked over to Shen Nian, and pulled her into a protective embrace.

”Sister-in-law, why are you yelling at Xiao Nian? You’re scaring the girl!”

”Why am I yelling? What is this stuff your Shen Nian cooked for me? Is she trying to poison me or something?!”

As Guo Chunxiang spoke, she pointed at the two dishes on the table. The mere sight of them made her feel nauseous again, and the taste in her mouth seemed even stronger than before.

”I... I didn’t!”

Shen Nian looked at Guo Chunxiang, her face a picture of a wronged and frightened victim. ’In reality, I’m not scared at all,’ she thought. ’With Mom and Dad here, my brothers, and Lu Cheng, what’s there to be afraid of from one Guo Chunxiang?’

”Still saying you didn’t? If not, how could you make something so disgusting?”

”I... I’ve never cooked at home before. But Auntie insisted that I cook for you, so I had to. I just copied how my mom usually cooks. How could it taste bad?”

Shen Nian said, tilting her head as if she couldn’t believe the food she made could possibly taste bad.

Shen Nian’s words left Guo Chunxiang speechless. Wasn’t she the one who had insisted Shen Nian cook? Just a moment ago, she had been gloating internally about getting to order Shen Nian around!

How could she have forgotten for a moment that Shen Nian was spoiled rotten in this family!

”Sister-in-law, this is where you’re in the wrong! Xiao Nian has never had to do heavy chores in our house; she’s never even set foot in the kitchen. You insisted on making her cook for you, and we couldn’t stop you. Xiao Nian worked hard to make this meal, and even if it’s not perfect, you, as her aunt, can’t just scold her for it!”

Shen Jian Country stepped forward and said to Guo Chunxiang. Of course, Shen Jian Country had no love for this sister-in-law who constantly bullied his wife and child.

”Exactly, Sister-in-law! We, her own parents, have never even tasted a dish cooked by Xiao Nian! And here you are, not only taking that special opportunity for yourself but also scolding her for it! What if she develops a complex from this and never wants to cook for us again? What will we do then?!”

Miao Cuifen also stood beside Shen Jian Country, looking at Guo Chunxiang with a regretful expression. She finally understood Shen Nian’s intentions. Since her daughter had played her part so well, they, as her parents, certainly couldn’t let her thoughtful efforts go to waste!

”You... you people...”

Guo Chunxiang felt a lump of anger stuck in her throat, unable to get it out.

There was nothing she could do. After all, she was indeed the one who had forced Shen Nian to cook for her. If she made a scene now, she wouldn’t gain a thing. On the contrary, she might even be accused of bullying a junior.

Guo Chunxiang was a tyrant at home, but she cared a great deal about her reputation in public.

”Um, Auntie, if these two dishes don’t taste good, how about... I go and make you something else?”

Seeing that Guo Chunxiang had no way to vent her anger, Shen Nian sidled up and asked ”cautiously.”
