Su Ping couldn't help but inquire from Su Ning, "Ning, what's in the flatbread? How does it taste so amazing?"

Su Ning replied, "It's made with eggs, flour, wrapped vegetables, shredded garlic sprouts, mixed with salt, and fried with lard. That's all."

Su Bin glanced at his energetic sister and remarked, "Ning is becoming more and more skilled. This is the best pancake Third Brother has ever had."

Feeling a bit embarrassed, Su Ning clarified, "I didn't make the pancakes. Third Sister-in-law made them herself. She also bought the flour and eggs. I only handled the cooking."

It was the first time Su Ning referred to her as Third Sister-in-law, all thanks to the delicious pancakes.

Upon hearing this, Su Bin was already devouring the second piece of pancake. Suddenly, he realized that the pancake in his mouth didn't taste as good as before, and his good mood was diminished.

Had he known that Qin Zhenzhen was the one who made it, he wouldn't have eaten it.

But not only did he eat it, he even claimed it was the best thing he had ever tasted.

He struggled to control his emotions, determined not to spit out the pancakes in his mouth.

He didn't want to spit it out because he respected Qin Zhenzhen.

Initially, he had felt nauseated, but he suddenly realized that if he did vomit, it would dampen the mood of his siblings.

If he refused to eat it, they might refuse as well.

Besides, he had already praised the pancakes and acknowledged her cooking skills, so it wouldn't be the end of the world.

Su Ning appeared remorseful. "Third Brother, I didn't mean to keep this from you. I just didn't have time to tell you…"

Swallowing the pancake in his mouth, Su Bin reassured Su Ning. "I am not upset with you. If you like it, you can have more."

He glanced at Qin Zhenzhen's chubby face and couldn't help but make a judgment. No wonder she was overweight. Her cooking skills were undoubtedly excellent!

Qin Zhenzhen playfully met his gaze, noticing the shift in his expression.

She could sense the deep-seated animosity he harbored towards her. He despised her so much that he wanted to spit out the pancake in his mouth, but he forced himself to swallow it instead.

It was clear to her that he would become a cunning and sinister antagonist in the future. Even at a young age, he had already learned to be adaptable and restrained.

Aware that Qin Zhenzhen was the one who made the pancakes, Su Qing and Su Cheng dared not show their true feelings. However, like Su Cheng and Su Ning, they would never turn down a delicious meal.

The large plate of eggs and pancakes disappeared quickly as everyone devoured them.

Qin Zhenzhen noticed that Su Bin no longer reached for the pancakes upon discovering her involvement. Instead, he silently ate his porridge with his head lowered.

He was the first one to finish.

Deciding to retreat to the study and appear engrossed in a book, Qin Zhenzhen didn't underestimate him. She knew that dealing with this boy would be challenging.

How could she dissolve his animosity towards her and convince him to agree to a divorce?

After everyone finished eating, it was Su Ning's turn to wash the dishes.

Qin Zhenzhen followed her into the kitchen, noticing the unwashed omelet pan. She believed in finishing what she started and felt that as an adult, she should contribute to the household chores.

However, Su Ning stopped her. "Let me take care of it."

Qin Zhenzhen assumed that Su Ning was expressing gratitude for the egg pancakes, prompting her to eagerly offer her assistance with the household chores. She spoke calmly, saying, "Let me do it. I'll help with the housework from now on."

However, Su Ning was anxious and quickly interjected, "No, don't pour out the water from the pot. Put it in the bucket instead. We can use it to cook pig food tomorrow."

They had a skinny pig at home, a frugal purchase made by Fifth Brother. He had mentioned that after the New Year, they would slaughter it and have a sumptuous feast.
