Reborn as a scavenger mom who turns into a powerful villain

When the oil was heated to the right degree, he quickly poured the ingredients into the pot. The ingredients made a "crackling" sound in the pot, but he was not moved at all and continued to stir-fry skillfully.

His arms swung the spatula vigorously to heat the ingredients evenly in the pot. His eyes were fixed on the dishes in the pot, observing their changes and ready to take the next step at any time.

He added seasonings and adjusted the heat, and every move was just right. His face showed a focused expression, as if the whole world was just him and the new dish he was cooking.

Fine beads of sweat oozed out of his forehead, but he was unaware of it and was completely immersed in the joy of cooking.

Qin Yi hugged him from behind, with a happy smile on her face and love in her eyes. She pressed tightly against Liu Duan's back, as if she wanted to merge herself into his body.

"Duanduan, you are so nice." Qinyi said softly, her voice gentle and sweet.

"I love you, Duanduan." She continued, saying a lot of soft words of love. Finally, she laid her head on his back, gently closed her eyes, and felt his warmth.

"Duanduan, the doctor said I can get pregnant. Can we have a baby tonight?" Her voice was full of anticipation and desire, and her eyes were shining with happiness.

Liu Duan was wearing a plaid apron and standing in front of the stove. He held the spatula steadily in one hand and skillfully flipped the sizzling food in the pot, while the other hand was slightly raised to block the oil splashes from time to time.

He tilted his head slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, his eyes full of longing for the future, and said softly: "Qinyi, we are still so young, and now we just want to enjoy this honeymoon-like time. Think about it, if we have a child now, it will not be easy, and there will be a lot of trivial matters!"

Qin Yi sat on a wooden chair next to the dining table, her chin supported by her hands, her eyes sparkling, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, like a blooming flower.

Her long black hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, swaying gently as she shook her head. She said "hmm" coquettishly, but in her heart she thought that she should enjoy her youth, but children were also the hope of the future.

"No. Ask my parents to help! Just come back from work and take care of the baby." Liu Duan continued, his tone full of confidence. His eyes sparkled with confidence, as if he had seen a beautiful picture of the future.

Qinyi imagined that scene and felt that the home would be more cozy and lively with more people, and a happy smile appeared on her face. But a trace of worry flashed through her mind. Will there be conflicts between the parents-in-law and the parents-in-law because of their different living habits?

Suddenly, Qinyi remembered what her father-in-law Liu Tongguo said: "This house is mine. I can come back and live here whenever I want." Her smile disappeared instantly, and her brows wrinkled slightly, like two small crescent moons covered by dark clouds.

No, she thought she should buy a house first, after all, she had money. She didn't want to live under the same roof with her father-in-law. She thought that only by having her own house could she truly feel a sense of belonging and avoid unnecessary conflicts. The spacious and bright living room and the warm and comfortable bedroom were her vision of her future home.

Liu Duan looked at her and saw that she still had no intention of bringing her father back, so he said, "How can we let Dad and Mom come here and suffer so much? Let's wait a year or two, that way everyone will be better off!"

Liu Duan stopped cooking and turned around with a look of helplessness on his face. The spatula in his hand gently rested on the edge of the pot, making a slight sound.

"Or, let's go buy a house outside!" Qin Yi stood up, folded her hands in front of her chest, and looked determined. She didn't want to be bound here, always feeling constrained.

She thought that after buying a house, she could decorate it according to her own preferences and arrange her life freely. The light blue curtains and soft sofas were what she thought her ideal home would look like.

"This house is good enough, why buy another one? Besides, moving house is very tiring!" Liu Duan shook his head, thinking it was unnecessary.

He walked over and gently held Qin Yi's hand, trying to persuade her. His palm was broad and warm, which made Qin Yi's heart move slightly.

Qin Yi looked at Liu Duan, feeling a little conflicted. On the one hand, she felt that Liu Duan was right and moving house was indeed troublesome, but on the other hand, she really didn't want to live under the same roof with her father-in-law.

"But this house is not mine?" When saying this, Qin Yi lowered her eyes slightly, a layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and her face was full of grievance.

She bit her lips lightly, twisted her hands unconsciously, and fidgeted with the hem of her clothes restlessly. She looked like a wronged little rabbit, which made people feel distressed.

"Silly, there are only three people in our family. This villa covers an area of ​​1,000 square meters! It's 18 meters high! One floor is too big to accommodate! There are still four empty floors above! Is it worth buying a house? Although we are well-off! But, our money is also hard-earned!"

Liu Duan scooped up the vegetables neatly and turned around, his eyes full of tenderness. He raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a doting smile, which was like the warm sunshine of spring, instantly dispelling the haze in people's hearts. His voice was low and magnetic, like a melodious piece of music, slowly flowing in the air.

Qin Yi pouted her lips, her cheeks puffed up, like a cute little squirrel. She frowned slightly. Although she felt that Liu Duan was right, she felt uncomfortable when she thought that the villa belonged to her father-in-law. Although she had driven her father-in-law away, the house was his after all.

He could come back at any time, and she wanted to live a free and easy life here, but she dared not do so casually. There was a trace of uneasiness in her eyes, and her feet rubbed lightly on the ground, as if she was looking for some kind of comfort.

"But I want a quiet life without being disturbed!" Qin Yi stamped her feet, her eyes full of desire. Her voice trembled slightly, with a hint of stubbornness. She raised her head and looked at Liu Duan, her eyes full of expectation, hoping that he could understand her thoughts.

"We already have an independent villa, which is quiet and natural enough. If we buy another apartment, we will always meet many people going up and down, which will be even less quiet!" Liu Duan looked at her with a smile, his eyes shining with confidence. He walked to Qin Yi, gently took her hand, and scratched her nose with his other hand. His palm was broad and warm, conveying endless love.

"Look, am I right? Okay, wash your hands and eat!" Liu Duan patted Qin Yi's shoulder, then turned and walked towards the kitchen, humming a little tune as he walked. His steps were brisk and powerful, as if the whole world was filled with sunshine and hope.
