Chapter 144 - 144 - Cooking Competition
"My husband also doesn't want other men's trash," Aeri said with a chuckle.
Soo Yin knitted her brows together. She did not understand what Aeri meant.
"Haven't you slept with Mr Lee Young Joun? Don't be surprised if I can find out about this," Aeri said with a snort. She remained busy with the knife as it began to slice through some of the ingredients.
"I never slept with him," Soo Yin argued. She thought back to the night where she had almost been tainted by that bastard.
"No need to pretend because I saw when he took you to his apartment. It's true that Li Sa said maybe you are like your mother who likes to seduce rich men." Aeri looked disdainfully at Soo Yin.
Soo Yin clenched her fists. Her patience was now completely exhausted by Aeri's words which made her heart ache. To vent it all Soo Yin carelessly chopped the vegetables.
Her mind was completely heated by the spicy statement that Aeri's mouth spat out.
"How? Can you cook?" Hae Sok asked, who made Soo Yin jumped in surprise. Almost cut her finger.
"Of course, Grandma. I intend to cook Tangsuyuk and Kimbab for grandma and Dae Hyun," Aeri said while glancing at Soo Yin who hasn't cooked anything.
"Then how about you?" Hae Sok asked as she looked at Soo Yin.
"I ... i …." Soo Yin hasn't even thought about what to cook.
"Don't expect too much from her, Grandma. Looks like she's having a hard time cooking," Aeri sneered.
"Okay, continue," Hae Sok said, not responding to Aeri's statement. She moved back into the living room to meet Jo Yeon Ho again.
The sound of the kitchen was heard very rumbling with the sound of kitchen utensils rubbing against each other. It was very clear that Aeri and Soo Yin rarely hold cooking utensils.
The waitress was overwhelmed cleaning scattered kitchen utensils. The kitchen also looks very messy.
An hour later, Aeri started arranging her food on the dining table. The two of them were currently in the middle of a cooking competition. There were also waiters who have prepared their dishes because Hae Sok was afraid that her daughter-in-law's food won't taste good.
The food Aeri made looks so flawless and so mouthwatering. In contrast to Soo Yin who only cooked Sundubu Jjigae but it looked very unattractive and did not look good to eat.
Dae Hyun, Jo Yeon Ho and Hae Sok have now sat in a circle around the dining table.
"Where's mother's cooking? I really want to taste it," Jo Yeon Ho said with a beaming face.
"You have to eat this one." Aeri started to put the menu she made into Jo Yeon Ho's plate.
"Then, where that you made, Eunnie?" The boy looked excited.
"It's definitely not delicious. You can get stomach ache if you eat it. Look, it's not even interesting at all," Aeri sneered. She didn't care at all if Soo Yin would be offended by her words.
"Yes, let's eat," Hae Sok said. She started to taste Aeri's food a little.
"How about it, Grandma?" Aeri was very excited to get praise from Hae Sok.
"Hmmm, not bad," Hae Sok said with a flat and hard to read expression. Then she tasted the food Soo Yin made.
Soo Yin bit her lower lip at the look on Hae Sok's face. Sure enough, Soo Yin guessed that the food was not delicious because Hae Sok didn't swallow it even though she only tasted it a little.
"As I said her cooking is definitely not good," Aeri said, who was satisfied.
"Soo Yin, because you made it. You also have to finish it all," Aeri said as she put the bowl containing Soo Yin's cooking in front of her. Unbeknownst to Soo Yin, Aeri had put in a lot of chili and pepper powder.
Soo Yin took a sip of saliva. She might throw up if she ate that much.
"Honey, you just eat mine," Aeri said as she put the food on her husband's plate.
Dae Hyun didn't respond to Aeri at all, instead he shifted Soo Yin's food in front of him. No matter how good Aeri's food was, he didn't intend to taste it at all. Dae Hyun started to spoon the food into his mouth a little. It tasted a little strange and a little too spicy. Dae Hyun only hoped that something wouldn't happen to his digestion.
Aeri widened her eyes when she saw Dae Hyun who chose to eat Soo Yin's menu instead of what she made.
"Dae Hyun, don't eat it!" Aeri said. She didn't want anything to happen to her husband because her only intention was to make Soo Yin stomach ache.
Aeri tried to grab the bowl from Dae Hyun's hand but Dae Hyun didn't let go.
"Let go!" Dae Hyun said so that Aeri put her hand away.
Dae Hyun looked at his little wife for a moment. Before finally feeding the food back into his mouth. Only two spoons of his mouth felt like it was on fire. Even cold sweat started pouring down his forehead.
"Sir, don't!" Soo Yin said tearyly. She felt like crying seeing her husband eat her food which must have tasted strange.
Soo Yin immediately snatched the bowl from Dae Hyun but the man didn't allow it.
Soo Yin pulled the bowl tightly until the contents spilled. It was better for her to be scolded by Hae Sok than to have to watch her husband finish his food which she was reluctant to even eat.
"Soo Yin, why did you spill it?" Dae Hyun said as he felt his stomach start to churn. Cold sweat was running down his forehead.
"The food is not good to eat," Soo Yin said quickly.
Dae Hyun clutched his aching stomach and his chest also feels tight.
"Dae Hyun, what's wrong with you?" Hae Sok said, who began to panic seeing her grandson who seemed to be holding back the pain.
"Grandma, we should take him
to the hospital," Aeri said. She immediately rushed outside to call the driver to help carry Dae Hyun.
==================================
Seoho Hospital
Now Dae Hyun was in the care of doctors at the Emergency Room. Everyone was waiting at the door. Soo Yin's body was completely limp this time. She couldn't help to hold her tears anymore.
"Soo Yin, if something happens to my husband then you are the first to take responsibility," Aeri said as she glared at Soo Yin who sat limply on the floor.
"No, don't argue. You'd better pray if nothing will happen to Dae Hyun," Hae Sok said, trying to calm down even though she was currently worried.
"Mother, how is father?" Jo Yeon Ho said. He was afraid something happened to his father.
"Yeon Ho, your father is fine. Don't worry," Hae Sok said to comfort his grandson.
The first time the family found out that Dae Hyun was suffering from a Capsaicin allergy was when Dae Hyun was a teenager. At that time he almost took his life because Dae Hyun was experiencing shortness of breath. After that there was no such incident again because they always forbade Dae Hyun to eat chilies in any form.
Today's incident was truly unexpected. Hae Sok didn't think that for Soo Yin's sake he will eat a menu that will endanger his life.
Soo Yin kept on sobbing even though she didn't make a sound. She tried to hold back her voice because Aeri kept blaming her.
Hae Sok who saw Soo Yin crying since earlier couldn't bear to see her. She walked over to Soo Yin who was still lying on the floor.
"Soo Yin, get up," Hae Sok said as she bent over to pull Soo Yin's hand to her feet.
"Grandmother?" Soo Yin looked up with tears running down her cheeks.
"Get up, don't be like this," Hae Sok said. Although at first she was shocked to find out that the girl was Dae Hyun's second wife, but because of the incident it seemed like Dae Hyun really loved her.
"Grandma, it's all my fault," Soo Yin said, who hugged Hae Sok while sobbing.
"Well, this is just an accident. Don't blame yourself too much. Sit on the chair, it's not nice to see," Hae Sok said as she let go of the hug.
After being seduced for a while, Soo Yin finally sat on the bench with Jo Yeon Ho. Now she can calm herself down.
"Eunnie, how poor my father is," Jo Yeon Ho said with a sad face. He could not bear to see his father who looked in pain.
"Let's pray that your father is okay," Soo Yin said.
Jo Yeon Ho nodded his head. He immediately followed what Soo Yin was doing by closing his eyes with both connected hands then placing them on his lips.
When Soo Yin opened her eyes Jo Yeon Ho's eyes were still closed. He seemed still earnestly praying for his father.
