At 12:13, Ms. Qin returned home, looked at the dishes she had bought and the cooked meal, nodded in satisfaction, and rarely offered Cen Jin a look of approval. Cen Jin smiled, feeling a bit unworthy of Ms. Qin's sudden praise, and was about to find an excuse to go upstairs when Ms. Qin directly called her over, dragging her into the kitchen to help.
Under Ms. Qin's authority, Cen Jin reluctantly conceded, but the help she could provide was limited to washing vegetables and handing things over. Ms. Qin couldn't even bear to watch her cut vegetables, correcting and demonstrating several times, all the while mumbling, "What will you do if you get married? You can't do anything, and you'll embarrass me when you join your in-laws."
After hearing this, Cen Jin seemed to understand Ms. Qin's intention behind ordering her to do housework these days, and her little face immediately looked utterly hopeless.
