She first gather ingredients for the sauce that she’s making. Eight tomatoes was enough since the tomatoes here are really big. She also get some onions, garlics and luckily she found some dried basil leaves.
Lilian first boil the tomatoes then crush it in a bowl. Then, she cut the onions and the garlic into small pieces before starting a fire. There’s no gas stove in here so they are using the traditional stove. Luckily, Lian often go to campings so she knew how to start a fire.
She put the pan on the stove then when she made sure that it is hot enough, she put some oil in it. One by one she put the minced garlic and onions to the pan then after a while, she already put the crushed tomatoes.
Lian was so engrossed in her cooking that she failed to notice that the other four brothers had already arrived and were now standing by to observe her.
“Why is she the one cooking,Heizhen?” curiously asked by Zeus
“Wife volunteered to cook for us. I can’t stop her”
Aizen saw an attractive woman wearing green clothing as soon as he arrived at the kitchen door. She had her sleeves up, exposing her silky, white skin. Although his brothers were speaking a little loudly, she doesn't appear to notice them because she is too busy cooking.
“She’s beautiful right?big brother” his second brother Zeus, said while putting his arm on his shoulder
Even though Aizen remained silent, he agreed. She's really attractive, which is why he noticed her right away when he first saw her in the slave market. The seller claims that she just got there a day ago, so he's lucky to be the first person to see her. She is quite tall and has milky white skin, and apple-red lips. Although she is silent, the owner claimed that she is not mute. Most likely, she is just shy.
Minutes later, the sauce that Lian’s cooking is already done. The pasta is also done since she already made it before she start cooking the sauce. Now, the only thing left if for the sauce to be combine on to the pasta.
She turned her head around and was about to call Heizhen for help on setting up the table when she saw some unfamiliar faces. The only one she recognized is Heizhen and Yuno.
She curiously stared at them when someone spoke.
“Ah! You haven’t met us right? We’re the rest of Montenegro brothers” oh, so they are her other husbands? Just as she thought. They are really good looking
“I’ll introduce myself first. I’m Aries, the fourth child of Montenegro family” He smiled widely at her
“Then this one in my right side is second brother, Zeus. And the one that is leaning to the doorside is our big brother, the eldest among us, Aizen”
The one called Zeus also smiled at her while Aizen just slightly nod his head
“Nice to meet all of you! Can someone set up the table? I’ve already finish cooking”
Heizhen immediately stand up and get the utensils while Lian go back infront of the stove to mix the pasta and sauce.
After a while, she transfer the spaghetti on a very large bowl then carry them to the table
“What a good fragrance, what food is that?” Zeus squeeze in beside her as soon as she sat at put down the bowl
She smiled at him before answering “It’s called spaghetti. Try it, I’m sure you’ll gonna like it”
“Really? Then pardon us” Zeus said then scooped some spaghetti and put it on his own plate. The other four also did the same so she also scooped hers.
“Hmm, It’s really good! This is the first time that I tasted something like this!” Heizhen exclaimed
Lian unconsciously smiled when she heard that. She never cooked for anyone before, so she didn’t know if the food will taste delicious to others since she just made it according to her taste, but she’s really glad that they like it.
“It’s really good. I’m surprise actually. I didn’t know that it will be this good” added by Zeus
The other three, especially Yuno, were silent but concurred. Because Lian just left yesterday and he assumed that she didn't want to see them, he didn't anticipate that she would make them food, but he believe that he was mistaken. Even while cooking them something delicious, she grinned at them. Well, maybe he'll forget about the time she escaped.
“Where did you learn to cook something like this?” Aries curiously asked
Lian was about to answer him but she stopped. She can’t tell him that she learn it on her own by watching youtube no?
Yuno noticed her strange behavior so he asked “What’s the problem?”
Lian put down her fork and bowed down her head “I- I can’t remember where I learn it. A-actually I can’t remember anything about my past. I- I don’t even remember my family”
Everything turned silent when they heard Lian speaking. She can’t remember anything?
Zeus was the one to recover and put his hands on around Lian’s shoulders “Don’t be sad. It’s okay. We’re your family now aren’t we?”
Lian looked up and saw the five brothers smiling while looking at her so she also smiled at them then nodded “Uhm! Thank you”
IIn fact, she felt bad about lying, but it's a white lie, right? She can't tell them she came from another world entirely different from this one, and it's the truth that this body has no memories of her past.
The dinner come to an end with Lian’s spaghetti all eaten by the Montenegro brothers. She’s really pleased with that and was about to wash the dishes when Aries told her that he was gonna do it She went to the bathroom to take a quick bath because she feels sweaty and slimy. There is no shower here but Heizhen already boiled some water and poured it in a small tub. “Ahh, nothing beats soaking in a bath after an exhausting day” she whispered to herself “What happen when were out Heizhen? It seems like the attitude of wife has changed?” Aries curiously asked while washing the dishes “Nothing. She just promised not to run away anymore” Yuno, who heard Heizhen’s words suddenly sprang up in his seat “Really?” “Hmm” Heizhen nodded “I wonder why she suddenly changed her mind?” Zeus, who is silent since earlier suddenly spoke “Maybe she realize that it’s better in here than being in the slave market” “Maybe” Aries just agreed to his brother’s idea but he just can’t stop feeling that
The next day, Lian woke up feeling refreshed. She had a very good sleep last night. Lian went out immediately after tidying up herself. She thought that she would only see Heizhen but surprisingly, Aizen and Zeus were also there. Aizen was chopping wood while the other two were preparing the breakfast. “Good morning Aizen!” Lian greeted the man Aizen just glanced at her for a second then went back to chopping woods. Lian thought that he will just ignore her but seconds later she heard him speak “Morning” As if in a very good mood, Lian crouched down beside Aizen “By the way, what are you still doing here? I thought you always went early in the morning to hunt in the mountain?” “I had a good hunt yesterday. Zeus and I are planning to sell them today” Aizen felt that Lian was staring at him but he just keep his expressionless face. He appears as if he’s chopping the wood normally but he’s starting to feel nervous inside. “Do you have something to say?” Aizen initiated to speak af
After strolling around for a bit, they went to a shop. Aizen immediately buy a sack of rice and flour. Those two can be categorized into two types. The coarse and the refined. Aizen bought the coarse one because it only cost 4 bin (1 bin is equivalent to 1 peso) while the refined one is cost 100 bin. “Do you have anything you want to buy?” Zeus asked her again This time, Lian didn’t immediately disagree and roam her eyes around the shop. She saw different kinds of vegetables and spices. “Then, can we buy a small amount of vegetable and spices?” she didn’t see any kind of spices in the house so she thought that it is expensive so she just wanted a small amount. She’s really tired of a tasteless porridge and boiled potatoes “Sure, just tell us what you want. If the money is sufficient, then we will buy it for you” Zeus said as he patted Lian’s head. Ahh. If the men in the modern world is as half as good as the Montenegro brothers, then life will be much easier. “Oh! I just remembe
The atmosphere is still heavy even if the girl already left. No one dares to speak because everyone knows that Lian is in a foul mood. She is not speaking either so her husbands didn’t know what is wrong. Truth be told, Lian is quite unhappy . They are already married but they are still interacting with other girls. It’s not that she didn’t want them to ignore everyone but that girl earlier obviously like Yuno but that idiot husband of hers is still isn’t distancing himself with her. She admits that she’s quite possessive with the things that she own. For her, even if she’s not the original owner of this body, but she’s now the Lian that is the wife of these five brothers. “What’s happening? Why are you all standing here?” the quiet atmosphere is broken by a voice from the entrance of their house. It is Aries. He came back from his part time job and found his wife and brothers on the outside “Nothing” Lian calmly answered then make her way to the kitchen. She forgot that she’s goin
Lian had no idea how this had happened. She was only trying to make Zeus taste the food, but why did it turn out this way? “Stop it. We’re in the kitchen, you know? Your brothers can enter here anytime!” Lian reminded him Zeus, who also came back into his senses immediately let go of Lian. “U-uhm, I’m sorry” "Why are you apologizing, second brother?" They both jumped when they heard a voice behind them. “H-h-h- heizhen!What are you doing here?” Lian nervously asked “Hmm? Big brother Aizen, told me to come here and see if the food was ready." Heizhen tilts his head as he observes the two's abnormal reactions. "Did something happen, wife?" “Uh? No! Nothing happen. The food’s alright. Call your brothers over so we can eat our lunch now” Heizhen did not believe their wife's response, but he still walks away to call his brothers. Forget about it. The second brother will not harm the wife. He pondered. He had no idea that his second brother had almost devoured their wife not long
After the eventful lunch, as usual Aries volunteered to wash the dishes while Lian went to the frontyard. “What are you thinking, little kitten?” Zheus inquired as he noticed Lian staring into space. “Hmm? I'm thinking about how we can earn money." Lian opposed to Aizen's frequent mountain hunting, but that doesn't change the fact that they are desperately in need of money. The brothers' earnings are barely enough to cover their daily expenses. They do not even have any emergency savings. "You don't have to be concerned about such things. We are the men of the house, so it is our obligation to provide everything. Leave it to us to earn cash." Lian immediately shook her head and gave her husband a serious look. "No. We're family, so we should look out for one another. Just because you're men doesn't mean you have to carry everything. I want to be someone you can lean on, just as I can lean on all of you." "I'm glad you're treating us like family. I thought you wouldn't be able to a
“Is it still far?” Lian inquired while they are walking towards the field of the Montenegro brothers They have one field where in they plant some vegetables. According to Yuno who is the one tending the field all this time, the potatoes that they planted are all ready to harvest. “No. We can arrive there at 20 minutes” Yuno answered “Hmm.” She is still enraged at Yuno for what happened the day before. Actually, she's not the type to be upset for long, but this jerk didn't even say anything, even though he knows she's angry. After a while, they finally reached their destination. The land is not that big. It is just enough to plant two to three kinds of vegetable. Yuno and Heizhen began harvesting the potatoes, while Lian sat on a log she noticed in the corner. She offered to assist them, but Heizhen declined, stating that he only wanted her to come for the fresh air, not to make her work. Lian, on the other hand, rejoice from the fact tha
“So, how can we make the potato chips that you’re saying earlier wife?” Heizhen asks“First, we should peel the them. Since we were just going to try it for today, I guess 5 potatoes would be fine”She starts to peel the potatoes one by one while Heizhen and Yuno are just in the sideline watching her in awe.“Then after that, we would slice them as thinly as possible” Lian was about to slice the potatoes when Heizhen suddenly snatch the knife from her“What are you doing?”“It just needs to be slice as thin as possible right? I’ll do that.” He said“What? No, I can manage”Lian attempt to get the knife back but Heizhen get it away from her“Let me do this wife okay? You can get hurt if you’re using the knife. Leave this kind of work to us”“That’s right. Leave it to Heizhen” Yuno intervenedBut s
