Chapter 1143: Bringing him back no matter what!
Usually, Old Master Ying would have the patience to coax his youngest daughter but this time around he really did not have the patience to deal with her. How could he have the patience to deal with Ying Bo? He hadn't cooked for many years and thus had forgotten how to cook. He could not even light up the stove and almost ended up getting blind, the stove smoked for a long time but there was no fire.
It was with great effort that he was able to light up the stove but as soon as he lit the stove up, he realised that the pots and pans had not been washed. After all, they only knew how to eat and the responsibility of washing pots and pane belonged to Ying Nan. Every day he would come back home and then wash the dirty pans, bowls and chopsticks but Ying Nan ran away from home.
Thus, no one washed the pots or pans. Frustration filled his heart as he was the only mer in the house, so even if he did not want to wash the dirty pots and pans, he had to use his hands to wash them one by one. He had been living like a master for years, with Song Yixu sending them meat and money, he did not know anything other than sleeping, resting and eating.
All of a sudden he had to wash the utensils and even cook, he was already annoyed. Now that his daughter was calling his cooked food disgusting and tasteless, he could not help but get angry. He pointed at Ying Bo and then said sternly, " Just eat your meals silently. Do you think that your daddy has it easy?
That brat ran away from home despite knowing that he has a bunch of things to deal with, your daddy worked so hard to make this food and you say it's disgusting? Eat whatever is in front of you or starve!"
Ying Bo was angry but she was hungry as well, she looked at the hard rice and salty soup with burnt stir-fried vegetables and muttered, " Ying Nan can cook much better than this."
Though they hated to admit it, the Ying family had to accept that Ying Nan was really good at cooking even if he cooked fish soup, there would be no fishy smell. What was more with him at home, Song Yixu would send them braised rabbit meat or something of the sort every next day but now that Ying Nan was not here, they did not get the braised pork or rabbit meat either.
Old Master Ying was quite upset with what his youngest daughter said but he did not say anything in response instead he finished his meal while drinking water and then went to sleep. He was sure that after a night of scare, Ying Nan would be back.
They only needed to suffer a bit tonight, when Ying Nan came back, he would teach him a good lesson and also bully him into going to the town and bringing back a bunch of things from Song Yixu's restaurant.
' Just wait! Once he comes back, I will ask him to bring at least three to four hundred taels! How dare he spend the night outside? He is not taking me seriously is he?' Old Master Ying thought in his head.
The rest of the family thought the same as well, after all, Ying Nan was a mer and had nowhere to go, where could he go?
However, the next day Ying Nan still did not return.
This time Old Master Ying panicked. If Ying Nan did not return where did he go? What was he doing? If something happened to that mer, how would he get the money?
" Daddy!" Ying Tuanzi looked at Old Master Ying as she rushed out of the bathing room and said, " My clothes are not washed and Ying Nan did not come back home either, if does not come back then who will cook the breakfast? Don't forget that I need to bring the meal to Mulan, if Ying Nan doesn't cook then from where will I get the food?"
Every day, Ying Tuanzi would make Ying Nan cook for Liu Mulan and then bring the meal to Liu Mulan's village where she would spend the rest of the day. What was even more wonderful was that Ying Tuanzi would help around in Liu Mulan's field but she did not have the time to take care of her own fields.
When Old Master Ying heard Ying Tuanzi's words, he snapped out of his daze and forgot about cooking breakfast! If Ying Nan did not come back then how would he get the money from Song Yixu——
"Song Yixu! I bet that mer rushed to her house! That shameless mer! He really dared to do it!" Old Master Ying was really angry but he was not foolish, he did not call the entire village as he was worried that they would all witness Ying Nan living at Song Yixu's house.
If so many people witnessed Ying Nan at Song Yixu's house then even if he did not want to marry Ying Nan to Song Yixu, he had to marry the two of them!
He still needed Song Yixu to raise Ying Bo as well as Ying Tuanzi's kids!
How could he allow that to happen?
Thus instead of collecting the entire village, Old Master Ying rushed to the town along with his wife. The journey to the town only consisted of half an hour, but while they were heading down the town, Old Master Ying felt like he was sitting on pins and needles.
" Can you not drive faster? I am worried something will happen if we arrive at the town late?" He told the old driver.
The old woman driving the ox cart rolled her eyes and then replied, " If you are in such a hurry then you can run? Maybe you will reach faster."
Old Master Ying pursed his lips angrily while glaring at the old woman. These people! They were really getting on his nerves!
