Chapter 691: Chapter 692 Speaking Big Words_1 Chapter 691: Chapter 692 Speaking Big Words_1 She would be leaving soon anyway.
Despite having two children of her own, her household essentially only had one.
Meng Yunhan did not offer to help in the kitchen.
Little Huzi sat in Yun Hao’s lap, Yun Hao fanning him with a palm-leaf fan. The electric one remained unused.
Lunch was undeniably simple.
Although there was meat, given the size of the crowd and the children’s fondness for it, the parents could not help but be sparing.
“Little sister, you should eat too. Look how skinny you are, you should eat more meat,” Meng Yunjian said with a deliberately scornful tone.
Meng Yunhan looked at the fatty meat, wanting to reply that she only ate lean meat.
Even Little Huzi didn’t fancy fat-laden meat much.
They ate their vegetables, watching others partake in the fatty meat.
The food was barely satisfying.
Even Little Huzi could not hide his distaste.
He had wanted to complain to his mother, but cooled off at his father’s stern gaze.
So, Little Huzi calmly went about eating his meal, minding his manners.
The other children, on the other hand, behaved quite rudely.
Although individual households could now afford meat, it was still scarce.
They lived in town without any chickens, so their meat source depended on meat vouchers, or else frequenting the black market.
But the meat there was exceedingly expensive.
After the meal, Meng Yunhan intended to leave.
Meng Yunjian and Meng Yunkang were aware of her desire to depart early, yet tried to persuade her to stay, “Little sister, since you’ve come back, perhaps you should stay over for a few days.”
Ma Ying was disgusted.
“We’ll stay next time. Ahao only took a few days off this time. I’m breaking for school the next time around. Little Huzi also needs to be sent back home with my parents.”
Meng Yunhan’s statements were not misleading, yet were somehow misinterpreted.
The intent was to drop their child off before going back to school.
“Little sister, throughout these years you’ve been out in the farmland, you ought to have visited our other relatives during this trip home, but you said you’re busy. We don’t know when the next time will be.”
Meng Yunhan vaguely responded, “There’s always time. Once Ahao and I save up enough money, we’ll buy a house in Kyoto. Big brother and second brother can bring sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to visit Kyoto.”
Ma Ying, Meng Yunjian, Meng Yunkang, and Zhao Ni had no high hopes for it.
Buying a house in Kyoto is no easy feat.
With her husband only earning a little each month, it was pure boast to claim they could afford a house in Kyoto.
No one knew how long they’d have to wait.
“In that case, we won’t keep you anymore. If there’s anything, just write to us. After all, we’re your family.” Zhao Ni said grandly.
A remark Meng Yunhan chose not to acknowledge. Read complete versıon only at 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝑓𝑖𝑟𝑒•𝙣𝙚𝙩
This polite talk was overtly obvious.
She was familiar with Zhao Ni’s character from past interactions. A sly woman who curries favor and alters her behavior according to the company.
To be a housewife was a waste of her talent. She could have excelled in sales with soaring performance quotas.
“Whether it is a minor or major issue, I should not trouble big brother or second brother anymore. After all, I am now married. I can’t do what I did as a child, getting bullied and running home to complain, then having big brother and second brother stand up for me.” However, at home, they were the ones who bullied her, not allowing her even to tell their parents.
These events, she would never forget.
There was an awkward silence from Meng Yunkang and Meng Yunjian.
