The Goddess is a Little Pitiful, I Invested in Her!

Chapter 42 – Qi Yun: There’s someone who competes with me for a favor!

Qi Yun discovered something a long time ago.

Whenever his parents said they were going out to eat, it often turned out to be different from what he had in mind.

For example, when Qi Yun went out to eat with his friends at university, they would go for the things like barbecue or hotpot.

But his parents were different. They usually went to a small restaurant that Qi Yun had never heard of before.

Like now, Qi’s mother took the three of them directly into a fly shop on the street.

The restaurant’s stove was at the entrance, with several small bowls and seasonings. The chef was working hard, stirring the pot with occasional bursts of fire.

The restaurant was smoky, but the aroma was just right.

“Shall we go in? The same spot as last time?”

Seeing Qi’s mother and the two of them, a woman who looked like the Boss of the restaurant came out as if she was quite familiar with Qi’s mother.

She directly led them to a small private room.

Qi’s mother and the two of them were already familiar with this place.

After the boss lady went out, they ordered several dishes without looking at the menu.

Qi Yun asked, “Mom, do you all come here often?”

Qi’s mother sighed and replied, “This is an old restaurant that’s been around for over a decade. Your father and I often came here when you were a child.”

Qi Yun still wondered, “But why have I never been here before?”

“Oh, back then, we thought you were in too much trouble. It would be easier to leave you at home to eat a simple bowl of noodles while we dined here ourselves.”

After saying that, Qi’s mother sighed again: “At that time, it was so easy to take care of you. Just a bowl of instant noodles was enough to make you happy. Your dad and I were very relieved.”

Qi’s dad nodded with a nostalgic expression.

Qi Yun: “…… blame me for being too nosy.”

……

The food arrived quickly, and the dishes were all served in no time.

Qi Yun tasted some dishes and found that most of them were local dishes from Spring City, but the taste was indeed good.

“These ribs are absolutely delicious, Qingxue. Give them a try!” He exclaimed, picked up a rib, and put it in Qingxue’s bowl.

But his chopsticks didn’t find themselves alone, as Qi’s mom’s chopsticks coincidentally crossed paths.

“Little Qingxue, eat more ribs!” Qi’s Mom also attempted to feed Qingxue.

The two of them stared at each other, their eyes full of sharpness as if a sword fight was going on.

Qi Yun: “She’s my girlfriend!”

Qi’s mom: “She’s my daughter-in-law!”

Qi Yun: “It’s natural for me to feed my girlfriend!”

Qi’s Mom said, “It’s natural for me to feed my daughter-in-law!”

……

Qi Yun couldn’t tolerate it anymore.

His own mother was actually competing with him for the favor of his girlfriend.

She was obviously the lovely and soft girlfriend that he brought back!

“Do you even know how enjoyable it is to feed your girlfriend?”

Qi’s mother remained displeased.

Why was her son so ignorant?

She was cultivating the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law!

It was true that sons tended to become more challenging as they grew older.

So ……

“These intestines are quite good! Qingxue, eat more!” Qi Yun picked up an intestine and put it in Qingxue’s bowl.

“These intestines are too greasy. Qingxue, come and eat this chicken leg instead! It’s very delicious!”

Qi’s mom was not to be outdone and offered a chicken leg.

“Eating too much meat is not good. This cabbage is tender!”

Qi Yun continued to fight for his spot.

“This cabbage is too bland. This eggplant is delicious and has the right amount of oil!”

The battle at the dinner table was intense.

But Qi’s dad remained relaxed, burying his head in his bowl as if he hadn’t heard anything, enjoying his meal without any care.

Qi’s dad was eating the braised pork in his bowl, savoring its authentic flavors.

“The braised pork from this place is truly exceptional. I can’t get tired of eating it!” Qi’s father squinted his eyes with great satisfaction, “No, I have to eat more.”

He raised his head, trying to pick up more pieces of braised pork.

“???”

Where’s my meat?

He had a big bowl of steaming, trembling braised pork in front of him, but where did it go?

Qi’s dad was suddenly startled.

He looked carefully at the bowl and saw the last piece of braised pork!

Qi’s father hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and was ready to grab them.

However, his efforts were in vain, as someone else proved to be quicker.

“Qingxue, this braised pork is delicious. Qi Yun’s father loves it the most! Try it a try once more!”

Qi’s father watched as Qi’s mother snatched away his last hope from under his chopsticks!

Then he looked at Lian Qingxue across the table.

A small mountain of braised pork was already piled up in front of her on the plate.

She looked worried, not knowing what to do.

She couldn’t refuse the food Qi’s mother gave her.

But Qi Yun ……

He couldn’t refuse either.

There was so much food. Lian Qingxue couldn’t finish it all!

Qingxue and Qi’s dad both looked like they were about to cry.

On both sides of the table, there were two completely different sorrows.

……

A woman’s voice suddenly came from the door when the meal was heating up.

“Ah, I wonder why the back looks so familiar to me! It turns out that you are eating here too! What a coincidence!”

A middle-aged woman about the same age as Qi’s mother stood in the doorway and looked at Qi’s mother with a smile.

When Qi’s mother heard this voice, she stopped eating and feeding Lian Qingxue.

She straightened her back, lightly clasped her hands, and tightly twisted her fingers.

Qi Yun was surprised to see this. He was familiar with his mother’s stance!

She was getting into a battle position!

This was how Qi Yun’s mother prepared to scold him when he was a child!
