Curtis brought the groceries to the kitchen while saying, âWe havenât gotten married yet. Weâll only get married after she graduates.â
âWhere is she now? Why donât you call her over for the meal, too?â Mommy Bai immediately said.
The smile on the corners of Curtisâs lips grew even more intense, and he said, âSheâs very shy and probably doesnât have the guts to meet you.â
âSeriously, we arenât strict people and can just have a casual meeting. Why the need to feel shy?â Although Mommy Bai said this, she didnât insist.
The two of them split work in the kitchen. When Daddy Bai noticed this unconsciously, he joked, âThe two of you really look like a pair of mother-in-law and son-in-law.â
Curtis smiled, not retaliating. Mommy Bai immediately glared and said, âDonât spout rubbish!â
Bai Xiaofan rubbed his nose sheepishly, went to the fridge to get a bottle of drink, then walked over to Bai Qingqingâs side to watch television.
Curtis didnât like this father-in-law. In his eyes, his father-in-law hadnât fulfilled his responsibility of protecting his mate. Take now for example. To think that he let his mate cook in the kitchen while he went off to rest.
And his mother-in-law didnât seem displeased, either. She seemed to take this as a matter-of-fact.
The ratio of males and females in this world was about the same, and it was understandable that the females here didnât enjoy statuses as great as those in the beastmen world. But why was it that he was seeing the females having a slightly lower status than males?
He had looked up and found out that in the past in China, men were regarded as being superior to women. However, didnât they say on the Internet that there was âgender equalityâ now?
Curtis had no idea that married couples who got along so amicably like them were considered quite good and could be said to be role models. There were probably some families which heâd have the impulse to kill if he were to see them.
While feeling dissatisfied with Daddy Bai, Mommy Bai also felt displeased about Bai Qingqing. She mumbled, âQingqing, look at how even Brother Ke has come to help. Donât you feel bad to be sitting there?â
Brother Ke again...
Bai Qingqing almost choked on the apple. She rubbed her stomach and stood up. âIâll come right away.â
Curtis immediately said, âSit there and donât move!â
His voice sounded slightly anxious, making his tone sounding a little forceful. Bai Qingqing couldnât help but pause in her footsteps.
Just as Mommy Bai vaguely felt that there was a problem with Curtisâs attitude, he had already returned to normal, saying to her, âGirls have delicate skin and are easily hurt. Qingqing is still young. Let her keep watching TV.â
This hit Mommy Bai where it hurt. She looked at the rough pores on her hands, then stopped calling for Bai Qingqing with the thought of not wanting her daughterâs hands to become rough from a young age.
They say that comparisons were odious. With comparisons, Mommy Bai couldnât help but feel uncomfortable.
Mommy Bai said to Daddy Bai half-jokingly, âLook at Ke Di. He knows how to care for others at such a young age. What have you helped me with before when weâve been married for so many years?â
Daddy Bai immediately surrendered and ran over. âAlright, Iâll come and help you out.â
Mommy Bai felt satisfied with this. Although Daddy Bai, being a man who âled a pampered lifeâ couldnât help out much, he felt extremely satisfied.
Bai Xiaofan came out upon sniffing the scent of âBest Family Ethics Showâ. When he took a look at the lively kitchen, he broke into a âthis is amazingâ expression. He then ran over behind Bai Qingqingâs back, pressing her down with great force. âSister, did I miss out on something?â
âSs~â Bai Qingqing almost fell from the pressure and turned her head to throw him a dagger-like glare. âDo you have nothing to do? If so, go to the kitchen to help out!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Cutting up vegetables, Curtis immediately chipped in, âXiaofan, come over and help me wash the vegetables.â
Bai Xiaofanâs body stiffened, and an unwilling expression filled his face. However, in fear of Teacher Keâs abuse of authority, he walked over in small steps.
