Chapter 1063 - 1052: An Unkind Stepmother
"Little Cuties, long time no see!" With nothing better to do, Ye Qiu started her livestream again. Because she was generous during her first livestream, she has gained some fame, and many people joined as soon as she went live.
"Haven’t seen the streamer in a long time."
"Received the bag sent by the streamer, it’s absolutely flawless, love it."
"I also received the lipstick from the streamer, the color is just amazing."
"Haven’t won any prize, feeling sad."
"Depressed, jealous, and cursing..."
"Haven’t seen you for a few days, and the streamer has become prettier again."
"What’s the streamer broadcasting today, are there any gifts?"
"Do you come to my livestream just for the gifts? The streamer is so hurt!" Although she said this, Ye Qiu’s eyes were smiling.
Because her eyes are particularly bright, and previous livestreams have always brought everyone positive energy, she has truly gained some genuine fans.
"No, no, we like whatever the streamer broadcasts, it’s fine even without gifts."
"Exactly, the streamer’s money doesn’t grow on trees."
"Thank you all for speaking up for me. Today, I’ll be streaming cooking!" Ye Qiu said, suddenly inspired.
"I remember the streamer saying she always had a nanny cooking at home, can the streamer really cook?"
"Ditto."
"I want to learn because I can’t rely on my husband to cook every day. He has to teach students during the day and do housework at night, I feel quite sorry for him," Ye Qiu explained.
"Isn’t there a nanny? Why does the streamer’s husband have to cook?" A new fan asked.
The old fans started answering for her: "You probably don’t get it. The streamer’s husband is a university teacher with a fixed salary and not much money. He doesn’t want people to say he married the streamer for her money, so the streamer is living in her husband’s faculty housing where there’s no nanny available."
"Not living in a big house with a nanny just to avoid gossip? Is it necessary?"
"Yeah, is the streamer used to it?"
"You all don’t know, our streamer is basically a husband-lover. Whatever her husband says goes, our suggestions are useless."
"In that case, I don’t think the streamer’s husband loves her very much. The streamer is willing to do this for him, why wouldn’t he tolerate a little gossip for her?"
"Seems like that has some reason."
"Come on, let’s not create strife between the streamer and her husband here. I personally think the streamer’s husband is quite good, an associate professor at a university, tall and handsome, willing to do housework, and not greedy for the streamer’s assets—that’s better than most men, isn’t it?"
"Sounds pretty good, hope it’s not just an act."
"Thanks for caring so much. No need to worry, my husband is the best husband in the world. You can tell I’m very happy just by my radiant smile!" Ye Qiu laughed as she explained, "Let’s not talk too much, Mrs. Liu is already waiting for me downstairs."
As the camera moved, everyone’s view shifted to the villa’s luxurious kitchen, where a kind-looking elderly woman was waiting.
"Miss, you really want to learn?" Mrs. Liu said, looking disapproving.
"Yes, I also want to make a few dishes for Bingwen."
"If you don’t want him to be so tired, I can go over, cook, and come back."
"I don’t want you to be so tired. The doctor said not to overdo it since you haven’t long recovered from surgery."
"The doctor also said I’ve recovered well."
"Oh come on, Mrs. Liu, I just want to do it myself!" Ye Qiu said, acting cute.
Mrs. Liu sighed, "I really can’t do anything about you. Let’s start by learning to cook rice. Go take the pot out of the rice cooker, then pour in some rice."
Ye Qiu set her phone up and followed Mrs. Liu’s instructions.
Meanwhile, viewers in the chat started buzzing: "This nanny seems really nice, genuinely caring for the streamer."
"Don’t you think the streamer is great too? She’s so thoughtful towards her family’s nanny."
"Doesn’t seem like a nanny to me, more like an elder."
"This Little Cutie guessed right." Ye Qiu answered the viewers while rinsing the rice, "Mrs. Liu is my mom’s cousin who watched me grow up. Although she’s working for us, she’s basically family."
"No wonder she looks so familiar!"
"Happy for the streamer to have such a considerate nanny relative."
"It’s rare for relations to be so harmonious while still having a client relationship; the streamer must be a very nice person, and Mrs. Liu must be too."
"Mrs. Liu, the viewers are praising you." Ye Qiu said, smiling.
"Really?" Mrs. Liu said with a smile, "Thank the viewers for me, and you’ve added too much water, pour some out... ah... ah... now too much is spilled."
"Is this better? Why do people measure the water using their finger? If I cook more rice next time, should I still use my finger here?"
"I’m dying of laughter at the streamer’s question. I remember when I was a kid cooking rice, my mom used her finger to measure water too."
"I was clueless then, still am unsure about the amount even after learning, but now when I teach my daughter to cook rice, it’s still the same as how my mom taught me, using a finger."
"So what does holding out a finger measure? How much water exactly is needed?"
"That’s a philosophical question; it’s entirely based on feeling and somehow always just right."
"Let’s listen to Mrs. Liu."
Mrs. Liu gave a clever answer, teaching: "Since you’re cooking for three, remember to use this much rice each time, and the water level should come up this high."
"Hmm, Mrs. Liu’s method stabilizes the rice amount, avoids errors, and avoids wondering how much more water to add with more rice."
"Am I the only one noticing Mrs. Liu said there are three people?"
"Why not assume the streamer’s mother-in-law lives with them?"
"So why does the streamer’s husband need to cook every day?"
"Then it must be the father-in-law?"
"Is it awkward for the streamer, who’s not working, to spend the day with her father-in-law after her husband leaves for work?"
"If it’s the father-in-law, then isn’t that amount of rice a bit little for three people?"
"Let’s not speculate, streamer please reveal, who else is there?"
"It’s not the father-in-law or mother-in-law; both my husband and I have lost our parents. It’s my stepson, who’s a bit over five years old, so he doesn’t eat much yet. But as he grows, I might have to learn from Mrs. Liu again how much water to add." Ye Qiu calmly replied to the viewers.
Then the viewers went into a frenzy.
