But no matter how much regret she felt, the grains were sold and they had nothing - not even a single grain left in their house. Her nose was still twitching as she deeply inhaled the faint scent of chicken that was left behind after Qi Zhi left the courtyard with his bowl. Madam Zhang didn't want to bow her head in front of these nephews of hers, she refused to believe that these good for nothings whom she once bullied that they didn't even dare to say east if she said west - would one day be more successful than her own Ah Che.
However, but the reality was that their family were indeed in a better condition than her own so she could only plaster a fake smile " Let the past be in the past, what's the point of discussing it now, right? Anyway, what did you cook? It smells so good "
Su Wan rolled her eyes at Madam Zhang's shamelessness. If this was before she would have definitely kicked these two women out but after seeing their ' good ' condition she couldn't help but feel a little devious. She was someone who worked in the food industry, therefore she knew very well about balanced diet - with Madam Zhang and Old Madam Lin's complexion it was clear that the two of them were not having an easy time, even if they were eating three meals a day they might not be able to buy meat. This thought alone was enough to cheer her up, humph - these two women ruined her ' appetite ' earlier if not for these two she might have tasted the ' meat ' that she has been dying to eat for so long but because of them she lost her chance.
So, she might as well avenge herself by making these two women so angry that even their intestines might turn green!
Su Wan placed a hand on her waist then smiled like an enchanting vixen, that curved her beautiful almond eyes " it's nothing, we just cooked some simple chicken porridge for dinner nothing else. The chicken was fresh and plump that's why it tasted delicious, compared to wild vegetables and rice, it tasted a hundred times better "
' Humph, because of you I missed my chance to taste my handsome husbands, see if I don't anger you to death !' Thought Su Wan inwardly.
Madam Zhang clenched her hands that were hidden in her sleeves, this winter she had only eaten normal porridge with nothing but boiled cabbage and radish, her mother in law was such a petty miser that she wouldn't even let her use a small amount of oil while cooking the vegetables - in their family other than Lin Che and Her husband, no one was allowed to eat vegetables cooked with oils. In such a condition where eating vegetables cooked in oil was already a miraculous feat, Madam Zhang could only dream of eating meat much less now when the price of grains was so high!
But this spendthrifts actually bought a? plump chicken and cooked it? And they even gave that porridge to those bastards? Where was the justice in it? She was their aunt yet she didn't even receive a single feather yet those little bastards actually ate a bowl of chicken porridge?
Madam Zhang couldn't help but curse the Qi siblings in the process of cursing them, she even cursed mother Lin for being stupid - it was fine if she wanted to keep her husband even after he turned unfaithful to her but what was the need of keeping his bastards, the ones that he gave birth with another woman? Were Zhao Lan's brains eaten by dogs?
Thus, just the mention of chicken porridge was enough to make Madam Zhang's eyes go green with greed.
However, even though her insides were burning with anxiety and anger - Madam Zhang had to keep up with her pretence and keep smiling " that's for sure, porridge made with chicken is delicious and nutritious . Wild vegetables can't even compare with it " but it was a pity that her family could only eat wild vegetables now.
Mother Lin who originally wanted to spend some quality time alone with her husband who returned after ten years wasn't appreciative of Madam Zhang and Old grandma Lin trespassing in their house, that too at such a late hour. If these two women didn't interrupt them then she would have enjoyed a wonderful walk with her husband under the pearly swirls of moonlight and maybe her daughter in law and son would have been working on the process of making a grandson for her - ( humph, just because she was naive didn't mean she was an innocent woman. She had already seen her third sons frustrated expression with five sons and two daughters will she not be able to deduce his expression correctly ?). All in all Mother Lin knew that at this hour her family could have done anything but it would still be more important than this! So she didn't even bother with keeping pretences when she saw that neither Madam Zhang nor old grandma Lin mentioned their motive to come here.
" Why are you here? What do you want? I don't think that you both came here just because you wanted to see Ah Heng? My husband returned in the evening and it's almost past midnight, what are you doing here ?" asked Mother Lin directly, since she no longer wanted to talk nonsense with the two of them.
Madam Zhang opened her mouth but then closed it, she was after all the wife of the younger brother. Even if Madam Zhang was able to order Zhao Lan around before she could no longer do it anymore because Zhao Lan was no longer the same Zhao Lan. Now not only does she has her son as her backing, but even her husband also returned.
And Madam Zhang knew how much Lin Heng adored Zhao Lan, so didn't say anything and just turned to look at the old lady. She came to the Lin brothers house together with the old lady, then she should let the old lady do the talking.. After all, no one took her seriously here but the old Lady was still Zhao Lan and Lin Heng 's elder , as long as the two of them gave enough to the Old lady then her nephews and their hussy would have to show respect to them as well .
