Chapter 519: Crab hot pot and porridge

Crab hot pot was slightly easier to make and since Yu Dong had the desired ingredients as well, she was not going to make herself suffer at all, what\'s more now that her husbands were back it was more than enough reason to celebrate. She hurriedly handled the crabs and fish before picking up a pot from the aisle and placing it on the stove, she poured water, crabs legs and the pieces of the cleaned fish into the pot before leaving it to boil.          

Shen Li of course did not mind washing the rice, he poured a few scoops of rice from the big basket that Yu Dong has filled and then took the bowl to wash it carefully in the water vat, since they were preparing the porridge for grandma Yu, the two of them cooked the rice until it was mushy and only then did Yu Dong scooped out the rice and poured it in the crab broth.      

Once she squashed the rice nicely with the back of her spoon, she set it on the stove that was still free and then used a pair of clean chopsticks to place the beat eggs that she has set aside earlier and then carefully mixed it together to make sure that it didn\'t clump.      

She waited until everything was set before she topped the porridge with the crab meat and green onions, as she turned to look at Shen Li and said, " Li, you remember the small grill that I asked mother Chen to make?"      

Yu Dong was someone who missed eating barbecued meat the most which was why she asked mother Chen to prepare a small stove with a grill over it. Even though it was a tad bit cruder than the one she was used to Yu Dong was satisfied, it wasn\'t as if she was a master chef who would act all picky or anything.      

As long as she could satisfy her cravings it was enough.     

" I do, the one that you said that you were going to grill meat right?" Shen Li has never seen Yu Dong use the grill before, if he was not wrong the grill was sent over before he left for the capital, if she used the grill after he was gone then there was no way for him to know how that thing worked.      

Yu Dong nodded as she took the lid off the porridge bowl and then set it aside before scooping it and serving it in two bowls. " Yeah, that\'s the one can you set it on the table? It\'s slightly easier to use so you will be able to set it up with ease and once you have set the grill place this bowl over it along with the other things all right?"      

If this was before Shen Li would have hesitated to try his hands at something new but now he was a mer who has worked in the capital no matter how novel something was it wasn\'t something that he wouldn\'t be able to try and even if he failed it wasn\'t as if Yu Dong was going to scold him for not being able to do it.     

He nodded and then turned to pick up the grill that was set on top of all the utensils.      

Yu Dong brought the porridge to Yu Tong who thanked her and then told her that she wanted to go and deal with the Yu family after she was finished eating her porridge, Yu Dong agreed, she was already aware of what was going to happen but she still nodded and then turned to walk to grandma Yu\'s room where she handed the porridge to grandma Yu and told her about what Yu Tong wanted to do.      

She didn\'t want to carry a pig teammate with her lest she fought with the Yu family and when the time came Grandma Yu would end up taking her husband\'s side.      

Grandam Yu took a bite of her porridge and then chewed it properly as the warm porridge and nourishing broth warmed her insides, she nodded and agreed with what Yu Tong has told Yu Dong. " She is right, since our family have been separated such things should also be taken care of properly. I cannot allow my family to take advantage of yours, so you go and ask for money and if they don\'t agree to hand money then you ask them to come and get me, since I have raised them all for so long, it\'s only natural for them to take care of me now that I am sick like that."      

She paused as she took another bite of the savoury porridge, relishing every grain of rice before adding, " And there is no need for you to hide my condition from them, tell them everything and say that I am very sick if they don\'t help me now, I will die."      

Grandma Yu was really heartbroken by the antics of her family, now that she was no longer as sturdy as she was when she was young, they have simply left her to die alone in the cold room of her house. Her husband would often complain to her about this and that, saying how Yu Cheng didn\'t have enough money for his studies and that she wasn\'t caring enough, his pettiness and cruelty rose to the point that grandma Yu has even forgotten when was the last time Old man Yu has spoken nicely to her.      

All she could remember was his sour face and a complaining voice telling her how the house didn\'t have many rations in the house and yet despite not working hard enough, some people ate like a bull.      

And as for whom he was talking about it was naturally her.
