Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Grandma Mao was about to explode when she caught sight of her eldest granddaughter’s half-laughing expression from the corner of her eye. Instantly, it was as if a chicken feather was stuck in her throat.
Of course, she was not afraid of this useless thing. It was that her eldest granddaughter seemed to have changed into a different person after coming out of the mountains yesterday. Even the Village Chief became her backer.
She was afraid that this money-losing girl would complain to the Village Chief. Her husband had said last night that no matter what, she could not be driven out of the village by the Village Chief.
Seeing that her mother-in-law’s expression was strange, Mao Lishi could only stand up for her. “Mother… Cough… You should go back to the room first, and we’ll prepare to eat now!”
She had wanted to say ‘let’s go back to the house’, but she quickly changed her words when she saw Mao Xiaoyu’s ‘terrifying’ expression.
Now that Grandma Mao had a way out, she turned around and walked into the central room with a gloomy face.
“Tsk!” Mao Xiaoyu snorted in disdain.
With madam mao’s combat power, she still wanted to be the best in the family!
It was only in this era that the young did not dare to disobey the old easily. If this was in the modern world, with his ability to fight, he would have been slapped into the ground and could not get up.
Seeing that Liu Xianniang and Mao Xiaoyu were standing still, Mao Lishi quietly picked up the precious bowl of egg custard, then quickly left the kitchen after saying these words.
It was as if there was a dog chasing her from behind!
“Well, sister-in-law, you and Daya should also hurry to the main room to eat!”
As for serving the dishes, she did not dare to say it.
After Mao Lishi ran out of the kitchen, Mao Xiaoyu burst out laughing.
“Mother, you see, they’re so timid!”
“You mischievous ghost! Your grandma hasn’t come to her senses yet. I’m afraid that this trick of yours will fail after two uses!” Liu Xianniang was also quite happy.
This was her first victory in her comeback. if there was one, there would be two. Good days were waiting for the mother and daughter.
“I’m not afraid!” Mao Xiaoyu pouted.
There was a good plan in front and a wall ladder in the back. She did not believe that she, a modern person, couldn’t win against an ancient old woman.
The mother-daughter pair joked around for a while, then each carried a bowl of porridge and pickled vegetables to the central room.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw a family of lazy people sitting around the table. They all looked like hungry ghosts, staring at the only bowl of egg custard on the table.
Mao Dabao was the only boy among the younger generation in the family. At this moment, he was protecting the bowl of egg custard like a hen protecting its chick.
If his grandparents had not been swallowing their saliva, Mao Dabao would have finished the egg custard in two bites.
The other girls did not have the fate to eat the egg custard either. They lowered their heads in resignation and did not even dare to look at their little brother. They could only quietly sniffle, trying hard to suck the fragrance in the air into their stomachs.
Seeing his eldest daughter-in-law and granddaughter bring breakfast to the table, old man mao knocked on his pipe. “Let’s eat.”
With that, he picked up a piece of noodle and started eating it.
The entire table was filled with people. Mao Xiaoyu looked around and poured the bowl of salted vegetables into the porridge.
“Eat, eat, eat. I’ll let you eat, but we can’t. Let’s see who will be full today!” Mao Xiaoyu said sternly.
She had just added a large spoonful of salt to the salted vegetables. Even if the saltiness had been diluted by the porridge, the saltiness was still not something that ordinary people could accept.
She had long guessed that this situation would happen. this family was greedy and lazy. it would be a fantasy if they did not cut off the food for her and her mother.
As Mao Xiaoyu had used too much strength, the sauce and porridge from the pickled vegetables splashed out, staining the table and everyone’s faces.
This was like touching old man mao’s sore spot. He narrowed his eyes and said fiercely, “Mao Daya, are you trying to rebel?”
Grandpa Mao did not want to bother with this granddaughter he disliked the most, but seeing that she was getting more and more arrogant, he felt that he could not let her be anymore.
“Grandpa, you’ve finally spoken! May I ask where my mother and I will be sitting for breakfast?” Mao Xiaoyu was no longer afraid.
Yesterday, she could tell that this old man had the final say in this family.
Don’t look at how Grandma Mao was usually boisterous, she was just a paper tiger. Grandpa Mao was the one who came up with all the ideas.
If there was anyone with a stomach full of evil tricks, it would definitely be Grandpa Mao.
“Eat? You guys still have the face to eat? Did you feed the pigs? Did you feed the chickens? Have the firewood been chopped up? Have you washed the clothes?” Grandma Mao shouted as her saliva flew everywhere.
The work that Grandma Mao had mentioned was what Liu Xianniang had to do every day.
Mao Xiaoyu looked at the food on the table in disgust. She thought to herself, “Even if you give me money now, I won’t eat a single bite!”
Who knew if Madam Mao had the habit of brushing her teeth, but from what Mao Xiaoyu could see, it was probably unbearable!
If that mouthful of yellow teeth could emit a little light, they would be comparable to big golden teeth.
However, whether they ate or not, they still had to fight. Mao Xiaoyu’s eyes widened. “Why can’t we eat? My mother made the food!”
“Why? Just because I’m unhappy! You still dare to question this me, you wretched girl?” Grandma Mao waved the large spoon of congee.
She was the one who distributed the food at home, and she could give it to whoever she wanted to eat.
As for the mother and daughter in front of her, even if she gave them a bite, her heart would ache.
“Then everyone, don’t eat!” Mao Xiaoyu gave a strange smile.
Before she could finish her sentence, Mao Xiaoyu’s hand quickly snatched the bowl of egg custard from Mao Dabao’s arms. Then, with a ‘pa’ sound, it fell to the ground.
If she wanted to throw something, she would throw the most expensive one. Mao Xiaoyu did not have any psychological burden.
She was lucky to be standing right beside Mao Dabao.
Wow, my custard is gone. The good-for-nothing girl threw my custard away.
Wow! Mao Dabao was stunned for a moment, then he started to wail.
Not only was Mao Dabao stunned, but everyone in the room was also stunned, including the other three girls of the mao family who had a very low presence.
The three girls lowered their heads and looked at the ground, swallowing their saliva at the same time!
If it fell to the ground, her brother would not eat it. She wondered if Grandpa and Grandma would be angry if they picked it up to eat!
The three girls thought at the same time.
“You want to die? You money-losing wretched girl actually dared to steal my Dabao’s egg custard!” Mao Lishi stood up and was about to push Mao Xiaoyu.
Liu Xianniang quickly pulled her daughter behind her. “Second sister-in-law, what are you doing? You’re an adult, how can you bully a child!”
“Sister-in-law, I think she doesn’t want to stay in this house anymore. Father hates wasting food the most. look at her, She broke a bowl, but there are two eggs in it!” Mao Lishi’s face was filled with pain.
Two eggs a day was her Dabao’s daily nutrition. Now that it was ruined by Mao Daya, didn’t that mean that her Dabao would not have anything to eat today?
