Chapter 741: Chapter 741 Aren’t You Afraid of People Coming to Settle Scores With You? Chapter 741: Chapter 741 Aren’t You Afraid of People Coming to Settle Scores With You? Stone was left at home to do his holiday homework, having already played for two days, today was the last day of the holiday, so he couldn’t be taken out and about anymore.
Luo Qiao, carrying the thermos flask grandma had prepared, made her way to the Textile Factory Family Courtyard. As soon as she entered the courtyard, someone quickly recognized her: “Oh, Jialin’s little sister, what delicious food have you brought over for your cousin?”
Luo Qiao smiled and said, “Hi, auntie, today my Sister Jialin is being discharged from the hospital. Grandma stewed some fish soup and pig trotter soup for me to bring over.”
“Aiyo, Jialin is really lucky. Her maternal family treats her so well it’s beyond words.”
“You go about your business, auntie, I’ll go inside first.”
“Go ahead, go ahead, they also just returned from the hospital not long ago.”
“You really can’t deny it, Third Young Master Zheng’s in-laws from the Yue Family are truly kind. They probably think that since they’ve split the household, they wouldn’t know when they’d get to eat something warm after getting discharged, so they sent over food right away.”
“Just yesterday, the maternal family came over and brought a stove, pots and pans, and even food. They definitely don’t want to share a kitchen with the Zheng family.”
“The eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law of the Zheng Family are also foolish. If they hadn’t split the family, their kids could occasionally benefit from it. Now, because of their maliciousness in causing the split, their children won’t get to benefit at all. I don’t know what they’re thinking.”
“Didn’t calculate the ledger properly, did they?” The people gossiping suddenly burst into laughter.
“That’s enough, everyone, let’s break it up. It’s time to start cooking lunch.”
Luo Qiao, carrying the replenishing soup, entered the Zheng family’s courtyard and saw her cousin’s mother-in-law, Hao Xiuyue, in front of her cousin’s room door, helping Auntie Song Shiya light the stove.
Upon seeing Luo Qiao enter, Auntie Song Shiya said with a smile, “Qiaoqiao has come?”
Luo Qiao held up the two thermos flasks in her hands: “Grandma made fish soup and pig trotter soup, asked me to bring them over for Sister Jialin.”
Auntie Song Shiya laughed, “It’s Grandma who has thought of everything. Just in time, your Sister Jialin is about to eat.”
When the children of the Zheng family heard there was something tasty, they all gathered around, especially the youngest son from the eldest family who ran over shouting, “I want to drink fish soup, and I want to drink pig trotter soup, too.”
Hao Xiuyue, seeing the grandkids acting improperly, said with a stern face, “No manners at all. Is it that your butts are itching for a spanking?”
Luo Qiao handed the thermos flasks to Auntie Song Shiya, watched as her cousin’s mother-in-law went into the kitchen, and then turned around to address the children: “This is for your aunt to replenish her body, sent over by your aunt’s maternal family.
If you want to drink some, you can go ask your own maternal grandmothers, meaning your mom’s maternal family. If they don’t make it for you, it means they don’t love you. If you cry and fuss, surely they’ll make it for you. Otherwise, how could they have the face to be your grandmas and grandpas?”
After finishing, Luo Qiao clapped her hands and smiled at the kids: “If you want to drink fish soup and pig trotter soup, you have to go ask from your mom’s maternal family, or else you won’t get any.”
The grandchildren of the Zheng family, the oldest being only nine years old, were spurred on by Luo Qiao and pulled each other towards the courtyard gate.
Luo Qiao watched them leave the courtyard and then turned back to her cousin’s room. Hao Xiuyue got the stove going and entered the room saying, “In-law, the outdoor stove is ready to use.”
Song Shiya thanked her with a smile, “Thank you so much, in-law.”
Hao Xiuyue said somewhat embarrassedly, “It’s what I should do. I don’t deserve your thanks, in-law. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go get busy.”
After Hao Xiuyue left the courtyard to look for her grandkids and failed to find them, she asked Luo Qiao upon seeing her exit, “Qiaoqiao, do you know where my grandkids have gone off to?”
Luo Qiao looked towards the gate: “They’ve gone to their maternal grandma’s to ask for fish soup.”
It took a moment for Hao Xiuyue to register what Luo Qiao meant.
Seeing how nonchalant Luo Qiao sounded, she knew it had to be something the girl said that made those rascals take it seriously, and she had no choice but to go out and look for the kids.
Luo Qiao knew that both in-laws of the Zheng Family worked at the textile factory, and neither of their homes were far away, which is why she said what she did. Anyway, they couldn’t leave the family courtyard, so there wouldn’t be any danger.
Upon hearing what Luo Qiao just said, Auntie Song Shiya poked Luo Qiao’s forehead with her finger: “You’re such a troublemaker. Aren’t you afraid they’ll come to settle accounts with you?”
“I didn’t say anything wrong, did I? What can they do even if they come looking?”
