Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Burned to Ashes Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Burned to Ashes “Okay, anyway, winter clothes are thick, no one can see. By next spring when we separate the households, we won’t have to worry at all.”
Wanyu loved beauty and, after thinking for a moment, decided to put the necklace back on. Then happily said to Mianmian, “Sweetie, give mom another milk candy.”
The family of three from the main house lay comfortably on the bed eating candy while the other women in the house were busy cooking in the kitchen.
It was Wanyu’s birthday, and Changhai was happy and willing to spend money, directly buying a big portion of five kilos of pork.
The fish also weighed about five or six kilos, and it was still lively and jumping.
The girls from the second house helped in the kitchen, and since the fish was in the pot, a tempting aroma wafted out, and they secretly swallowed their saliva.
They hadn’t eaten fish for a long time.
The four-year-old Laidi even naively thought that it would be great if his Aunt celebrated her birthday several times a year.
Zhiwen and Zhiwu knew there would be meat to eat at home today, so they didn’t go out to play wildly and instead played with spinning tops in the yard while waiting for dinner.
“I’m going to the toilet, and if any of you dare to eat the meat, I will tear your mouth apart!” the old lady warned them with a sweeping glance around the kitchen before she confidently went to the bathroom.
Seeing that the old lady had gone out, Sun Lixia lost her reservations and spitefully commented, “Second Sister-in-law, do you think Eldest’s brain is filled with water? It’s just an ordinary small birthday, yet he specially went to town to prepare so much stuff, how much money that must have cost? He really is brainless.”
Sun Lixia usually liked to gossip with Zhao Xiaojuan about this family or that, criticizing others; in the entire village, there was no one whom she looked upon favorably.
She knew Zhao Xiaojuan wouldn’t spread the conversations between them to others because she never contradicted her, allowing Sun Lixia to feel satisfied every time she spoke.
If it had been the Zhao Xiaojuan of the past, upon hearing such comments, she truly wouldn’t have added more.
But she was grateful, always remembering the life-saving money the main house had given, and they still regularly provided treats for her daughters, so she rarely retorted softly, “Sister-in-law, Brother and Sister-in-law have a good relationship, and besides, a birthday comes only once a year, it’s only right to prepare it well.”
Upon hearing this, Sun Lixia’s tone immediately became sharp and bitter, “Second Sister-in-law, you are really too superficial, always rushing to kiss up for a few favors from the main house, but it’s not even certain whether they take you seriously!”
Xiao Juan dared to counter her words?
Did she think that just because she was pregnant, she had started to float, feeling that she could speak up in this family?
Zhao Xiaojuan was the honest and tongue-tied type, feeling utterly embarrassed by Sun Lixia’s harsh scolding, but she couldn’t find the words to retort.
She just flushed red with embarrassment and ignored Sun Lixia, busying herself with cooking.
Sun Lixia snorted with pride and lifted the lid to check if the fish was done.
Although she constantly held a grudge against Eldest for monopolizing that five hundred yuan, she was still happy to eat so much delicious food.
Whoever doesn’t take advantage is a fool!
Little did she know that Zhaodi, who was tending the fire behind the stove, was staring intently at her back, her eyes filled with angry hatred reflecting the flickering flames, as if wanting to burn Sun Lixia to ashes.
Sun Lixia, wait for my revenge!
It was rare for the Jiang family to prepare two meat dishes at the same time, and in such quantity, everyone in the Jiang family couldn’t help but continuously swallow their saliva looking at the lavish dishes on the table.
