Chapter 456: Yunjin Hunting, Lin Ning Behind

Su Yunjin comes from a scholarly family and has read a lot of books. She has a deeper understanding of the art of war than Zhao Yuanzhen. She knows that the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law seems to be between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, but the core is actually the husband.

Your efforts to please your mother-in-law will only lead to half the result with twice the effort, because after all, the two of you are not related by blood;
But if you and your husband live in harmony, even if you don't try to please your mother-in-law, as long as she is willing to consider her son, she will take the initiative to maintain her relationship with her daughter-in-law to prevent her son from being caught in the middle.

This is the daughter-in-law's military strategy!
Su Yunjin thought clearly that since Sister Zhao had taken the initiative and established a good relationship with her mother-in-law, she would focus on showing that she was "very compatible with the captain" and attack Mother Yan's defenses from the side.

"Before the Lunar New Year, the captain came to my house once." Su Yunjin chatted with Yan's mother, "We went to Baoshan Zen Temple at that time. It happened that heavy rain the day before caused a landslide, and the road up the mountain had not yet been restored, so there was no tourist in the entire temple."

"It would be better if there were fewer tourists," Yan's mother said with emotion. "Lingying Temple is always crowded year-round. There's not a trace of the tranquil Buddhist atmosphere left."

"Yes, it's very lively when there aren't many people around." Su Yunjin said with a smile, "We visited the mountain temple, prayed for love, and then went to the town at the foot of the mountain to stroll around. We took a lot of photos on the bridge across the lake before returning."

She took out her cell phone and showed Yan's mother the photo of the two of them taken at that time.

Mother Yan watched calmly, sighing in her heart:
Son! Since you and Yunjin are so close, why did you bring Yuanzhen home for the New Year? Don't be a two-timing scumbag!

"Sister Yunjin, how did my brother behave when he met your parents?" Yan Jing asked from the side.

"He's very calm." Su Yunjin smiled, "My parents are actually more nervous than he is."

Mother Yan didn't know what to say. Since her son had already met the girl's parents, it was only natural for Yun Jin to come meet the boy's parents today. But Yuan Zhen...

If you don’t have that kind of relationship with Yuanzhen, and you only brought her back to celebrate the New Year because she has no family, then you should have made it clear to your mother from the beginning!
After sighing silently in her heart for a moment, Mother Yan looked at Yun Jin again, and her eyes were different.

In fact, if she were asked to choose, she would still prefer Zhao Yuanzhen more, but since her son likes Su Yunjin more, there is nothing she can do as a mother. She can't just break up the couple, right?
"Have you had breakfast?" Yan's mother asked with concern. "We are about to make breakfast. What would you like to eat?"

"I came here in a hurry, I haven't eaten yet." Su Yunjin immediately smiled and said, "Let me help."

After returning home, she received emergency training for a few days. Although she was not as proficient in frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying as Lin Ning, she had no problem cooking some noodles, making some porridge, and cutting some side dishes.

Mother Yan declined several times, but Su Yunjin insisted on helping, and she had no choice but to let her into the kitchen.

Seeing Su Yunjin cooking noodles in the pot, stirring with chopsticks to prevent them from sticking to the bottom, and taking them out and letting them cool when they were almost cooked... the balance in Yan's mother's heart unconsciously tilted again, because although Miss Yuan Zhen was beautiful, had a good figure, a sweet mouth, and a simple mind, she probably knew nothing about cooking, and she hadn't seen her help in the kitchen in the past few days.

Although she knows this idea is unrealistic, Yan's mother still adheres to the traditional belief that "women must learn to cook after marriage." Otherwise, what will happen after she has children? Will the whole family eat takeout? All of it is filled with unclean oil!

Since Yunjin is willing and able to cook, that would be a big plus, but Yuanzhen... Alas!

Son, why are you messing with so many nice girls?!

Mother Yan was overwhelmed with mixed emotions: pride in her son's popularity, yet speechless by the current situation. Zhao Yuanzhen and Su Yunjin were both treasures in her heart, like treasures in both her left and right hands. Now, she had to choose between keeping one and taking the other. How could she choose?
It would be better to get rid of Jingjing, the naughty girl!

Yan Jing had no idea what her mother was thinking. When she heard the doorbell ring outside, she hurried over to open the door.

"Excuse me!" Lin Ning's voice came from outside the door.

Su Yunjin's face changed, but she concealed it well in front of Yan's mother. She turned around in surprise and saw Lin Ning carrying a big bag and changing into the slippers given by Yan Jing at the door.

The two looked at each other, each feeling surprised, depressed, and speechless, no words needed to be expressed.

Why are you here?
I'm here to wish you a happy new year!
The captain didn’t say you were coming today!
Upon hearing the noise, Yan's mother left the kitchen. Lin Ning quickly smiled and handed the bag over, saying:

"Hello, Auntie. My name is Lin Ning, and I'm a member of Team Yanyu. I came to pay New Year's greetings and brought some seafood..." "Oh, how can I be so embarrassed?" Yan's mother wanted to be polite, but the food was still cooking in the kitchen, so she could only gesture to Yan Jing to accept it quickly. She added, "Lin Ning, go sit over there for a while. Auntie is cooking noodles here, it will be ready soon. By the way, have you had breakfast?"

"Are you guys cooking?" Lin Ning immediately rolled up her sleeves, "Let me help."

"You're a guest, how can you let a guest cook?" Yan's mother subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Lin Ning had seen Su Yunjin come out of the kitchen before, just like Zhao Yuanzhen saw someone eating, how could he resist? Immediately, without saying anything, she entered the kitchen and began to help prepare the ingredients.

Mother Yan quickly chased into the kitchen, only to see Lin Ning's knife skills were so fast that they were even better than Yun Jin's, and for a moment she was too embarrassed to ask her to stop.

Su Yunjin's face darkened beside her. She'd only been training in cooking for a few days; how could she compare to Lin Ning, who'd been practicing for who knows how many years? Knowing she couldn't win, she could only swallow her anger and help out by tending to the pots.

The two girls were busy in the kitchen, one chopping vegetables and preparing food, the other tending to the pot and the fire, leaving Mother Yan with nothing to do. She could only ask questions from the side:
"Do you cook your own food in Jinling as well?"

"That's right." Before Su Yunjin could say anything, Lin Ning said without hesitation, "I'm responsible for the team's meals."

"That's good." Mother Yan showed a relieved expression, "You should still eat less takeout, it's not healthy."

Su Yunjin opened her mouth but had nothing to say. She could only force a smile and persuade Mother Yan:
"Auntie, why don't you go to the living room to rest? We can take care of the kitchen."

Send the mother-in-law away first, so that she won’t be amazed by Ningning’s cooking skills!

"Auntie, where is the oyster sauce?" Lin Ning asked.

Mother Yan was about to leave after hearing Yun Jin's words, but upon hearing this, she went over, opened the refrigerator, and handed the ingredients to Lin Ning.

"Do you have beef rolls?" Lin Ning asked again.

"Yes, you want beef rolls?" Yan's mother was puzzled.

"The captain likes to add beef rolls and various meatballs to his noodles." Lin Ning tied her hair back, revealing the demeanor of a shrewd and capable housewife, and said skillfully, "Add some greens and a few drops of sesame oil, a mix of meat and vegetables, and it's perfect for his taste... Yunjin, how long do you boil the eggs over there? The captain likes them runny, so six or seven minutes will be enough."

"Uh." Although Su Yunjin knew how to boil eggs, she had no idea what Yan Yu's taste was. Upon hearing this, she could only force a smile and said, "It should have been about three or four minutes."

"Let me take a look." Lin Ning scooped up the egg with a spatula, shook it a few times, and probed inside with his spiritual sense. He said firmly, "Cook it for another minute and a half."

Seeing Lin Ning's expression was off, Yan's mother wondered how this girl could remember my son's food preferences so clearly. There were so many details that even a mother like me didn't know! Could it be that she was also...

Same as Yuan Zhen, Yun Jin and the others?
Su Yunjin suppressed his distraught state and said to Lin Ning:
"Ningning, this is my advanced kitchen."

"There's no order in the kitchen," Lin Ning replied calmly, "The one who's capable cooks."

"Why did you come here to wish everyone a happy new year today?" Su Yunjin asked.

"I'm here to deliver New Year's goods. I already made an appointment with the captain." Lin Ning was also a little unhappy and asked, "Why did you come here today?"

"I made an appointment with the captain to come over today!" Su Yunjin became anxious. "Didn't the captain tell you?"

"No." Lin Ning seemed to understand something and couldn't help but get angry. "Captain, you are such a bad guy!"
