Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Do Whatever I Tell You to Do Chapter 212: Chapter 212: Do Whatever I Tell You to Do One chopstick after another whirled swiftly, as they took large bites of meat and fish, quickly eating until their mouths were greasy.
Since the last time Jiang Changhai celebrated Jiang Mianmian’s first-place achievement with a meaty meal, the Old Jiang Family hadn’t eaten meat again, all craving the fatty flavors.
Especially Zhaodi, who was reborn, found it extremely difficult to adapt.
In her previous life at the factory, she could eat meat twice a week, and now, after such a long time on a vegetarian diet, she felt she was almost forgetting the taste of meat.
The Jiang family members all started by picking out the meat from the dishes on the table, and only after the meat was gone did the speed of their eating gradually slow down.
The men also began drinking, with Jiang Changhai as the eldest naturally leading the way, “Eldest and Laosan, come, let’s all toast Dad together.”
After the meal, Zhang Guihua glanced at Zhao Xiaojuan and her belly, which was not yet showing, and after thinking for a moment said, “Eldest’s wife is now pregnant, and it’s hard to do heavy work in the dead of winter. Eldest’s wife, from now on you should do light work.”
“Let Laosan’s Wife and the girls share the tasks that involve getting wet in cold water. You should take care of yourself and bear a healthy boy for our Old Jiang Family, that’s the most important task.”
Zhao Xiaojuan looked at her mother-in-law with a surprised and pleased expression, not expecting to be treated so favorably, and only after a while did she respond, “Thank you, Mom, rest assured, this time I will definitely give birth to a healthy and chubby boy for our Old Jiang Family.”
Convinced by Zhaodi’s dream, Zhao Xiaojuan firmly believed that she was bearing a boy, and was thus extra careful and cautious this time.
Zhaodi wasn’t at all surprised, as expected, the treatment for carrying a boy was different from that for a girl, it seemed her strategy was the right move.
This time, her brother would definitely grow up safe and healthy.
But Sun Lixia was unhappy, this meant that all the chores of washing vegetables and laundry would now fall on her shoulders!
Didn’t Second Sister-in-law still do chores when she was pregnant with those girls? Why is she exempt now?!
And she’s guaranteeing to bear a boy for the Old Jiang Family; I’ve underestimated her shamelessness before.
Pah, I curse that this child is still a girl! May you only ever give birth to girls for your whole life!
Yet, Sun Lixia couldn’t openly object, because she had received the same treatment when she was pregnant.
But the old lady had her policy, and she had her tactics; whenever the old lady was out, she would assign the dirty, tiring tasks to Da Ya and the others, comfortably sitting on the chair and watching them work.
Da Ya and the others have been used to Sun Lixia’s orders since they were young, not finding anything wrong with the way things were now.
They obediently did whatever their aunt told them to.
They had no objections and wouldn’t rebel, but Zhaodi, reborn, wasn’t so easily handled.
“Auntie, Granny clearly told you to work with us, why are you always ordering us to work while you just sit doing nothing?”
Having been through her past experiences, she knew Sun Lixia was the type to bully the weak and fear the strong, the more meek and pliable you were, the more she would push you around.
This life, she wouldn’t let herself be exploited by Sun Lixia any longer.
Da Ya looked at Zhaodi in surprise; she seemed not to expect her sister to be so bold or to speak to their aunt in such a manner.
Er Ya was also shocked; wasn’t Zhaodi very afraid of their aunt before? Now she seemed to have become a completely different person.
“Hey, you little brat, don’t you talk so much nonsense, you do whatever I tell you to do, when is it your turn to lecture me?”
Sun Lixia was already harboring a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent, and now seeing Zhaodi, this loss-making nuisance, dare to criticize her, she was absolutely furious.
