Chapter 1523: A Pair of Mother-In-Law and Son-In-Law

Curtis brought the groceries to the kitchen while saying, “We haven’t gotten married yet. We’ll only get married after she graduates.”

“Where is she now? Why don’t you call her over for the meal, too?” Mommy Bai immediately said.

The smile on the corners of Curtis’s lips grew even more intense, and he said, “She’s very shy and probably doesn’t have the guts to meet you.”

“Seriously, we aren’t strict people and can just have a casual meeting. Why the need to feel shy?” Although Mommy Bai said this, she didn’t insist.

The two of them split work in the kitchen. When Daddy Bai noticed this unconsciously, he joked, “The two of you really look like a pair of mother-in-law and son-in-law.”

Curtis smiled, not retaliating. Mommy Bai immediately glared and said, “Don’t spout rubbish!”

Bai Xiaofan rubbed his nose sheepishly, went to the fridge to get a bottle of drink, then walked over to Bai Qingqing’s side to watch television.

Curtis didn’t like this father-in-law. In his eyes, his father-in-law hadn’t fulfilled his responsibility of protecting his mate. Take now for example. To think that he let his mate cook in the kitchen while he went off to rest.

And his mother-in-law didn’t seem displeased, either. She seemed to take this as a matter-of-fact.

The ratio of males and females in this world was about the same, and it was understandable that the females here didn’t enjoy statuses as great as those in the beastmen world. But why was it that he was seeing the females having a slightly lower status than males?

He had looked up and found out that in the past in China, men were regarded as being superior to women. However, didn’t they say on the Internet that there was “gender equality” now?

Curtis had no idea that married couples who got along so amicably like them were considered quite good and could be said to be role models. There were probably some families which he’d have the impulse to kill if he were to see them.

While feeling dissatisfied with Daddy Bai, Mommy Bai also felt displeased about Bai Qingqing. She mumbled, “Qingqing, look at how even Brother Ke has come to help. Don’t you feel bad to be sitting there?”

Brother Ke again…

Bai Qingqing almost choked on the apple. She rubbed her stomach and stood up. “I’ll come right away.”

Curtis immediately said, “Sit there and don’t move!”

His voice sounded slightly anxious, making his tone sounding a little forceful. Bai Qingqing couldn’t help but pause in her footsteps.

Just as Mommy Bai vaguely felt that there was a problem with Curtis’s attitude, he had already returned to normal, saying to her, “Girls have delicate skin and are easily hurt. Qingqing is still young. Let her keep watching TV.”

This hit Mommy Bai where it hurt. She looked at the rough pores on her hands, then stopped calling for Bai Qingqing with the thought of not wanting her daughter’s hands to become rough from a young age.

They say that comparisons were odious. With comparisons, Mommy Bai couldn’t help but feel uncomfortable.

Mommy Bai said to Daddy Bai half-jokingly, “Look at Ke Di. He knows how to care for others at such a young age. What have you helped me with before when we’ve been married for so many years?”

Daddy Bai immediately surrendered and ran over. “Alright, I’ll come and help you out.”

Mommy Bai felt satisfied with this. Although Daddy Bai, being a man who “led a pampered life” couldn’t help out much, he felt extremely satisfied.

Bai Xiaofan came out upon sniffing the scent of “Best Family Ethics Show”. When he took a look at the lively kitchen, he broke into a “this is amazing” expression. He then ran over behind Bai Qingqing’s back, pressing her down with great force. “Sister, did I miss out on something?”

“Ss~” Bai Qingqing almost fell from the pressure and turned her head to throw him a dagger-like glare. “Do you have nothing to do? If so, go to the kitchen to help out!”

Cutting up vegetables, Curtis immediately chipped in, “Xiaofan, come over and help me wash the vegetables.”

Bai Xiaofan’s body stiffened, and an unwilling expression filled his face. However, in fear of Teacher Ke’s abuse of authority, he walked over in small steps.
