She had wanted to scold An Hao and An Ping to vent her anger, but she just couldn’t resist the temptation of the Snowflake Cream, "Fine, fine. So just because of a casual remark, you’re serious. Is it necessary? My mom is just tired and in a bad mood today. Let’s all be understanding."
Seeing Bai Yanjiao retract her words, An Ping didn’t want to keep arguing with her either and went back to focusing on eating his meal.
An Hao let out a cold laugh and didn’t say anything more.
After watching for a while and seeing no reaction from An Hao, Bai Yanjiao, who really had her heart set on a box of Snowflake Cream, said, "An Hao, I heard that you were the one who gave the Snowflake Cream?"
Without even lifting her eyelids, An Hao responded lazily, "Yes, I gave it. What’s that got to do with you?"
"Of course, it has to do with me," Bai Yanjiao slammed her chopsticks down, suddenly energized, "No matter what, I’m still your sister. You’re giving away such expensive Snowflake Cream like it’s nothing, without even thinking to save a couple of boxes for me and mom!"
"What? You bought the Snowflake Cream?" Bai Xue slammed her chopsticks onto the table upon hearing this, "When our house is this poor, you still have money to buy Snowflake Cream and give it away! An Hao, what on earth were you thinking?"
An Hao hadn’t planned to make a fuss, but upon hearing this, she also became angry and stood up quickly, "Shut your mouth! My thoughts are none of your business. First, I earned the money by selling hawthorns; it’s not your money so you can’t dictate how I use it. Second, the Snowflake Cream is mine, and who I choose to give it to is none of your business either. Third, the debt is mine, and I will repay it. So, you have no right to point fingers at me here! It’s not your turn to manage my affairs, just mind your own business. This is the last time I’ll tolerate you. If you challenge my limits again..."
Bai Yanjiao, seeing them arguing again, worried that Bai Xue might anger An Hao until not a single box of Snowflake Cream would be given to her, so she quickly grabbed Bai Xue, "Mom, calm down and say less. An Hao, you too, say less. We’re all family; why do we always have to fight and quarrel?"
An Hao’s lips curled upwards, "Now we’re family?"
Don’t think that An Hao didn’t know the little schemes in Bai Yanjiao’s mind.
Sure enough, after Bai Yanjiao had pacified Bai Xue, she turned around and forced a smile, "An Hao, no matter how bad our relationship gets, we’re still family, which is better than outsiders, right? Just give me a box of Snowflake Cream, okay? Please, I’m begging you."
"Yes, I want it. What woman doesn’t?" Bai Yanjiao thought An Hao was about to agree, feeling a little excited inside.
An Hao’s lips quirked up, tossing her four words, "Daydreaming!"
"Pff!" An Ping couldn’t hold back and sprayed out the porridge that he had not yet swallowed, which burst out of his mouth and sprayed all over Bai Yanjiao’s face.
"An Ping! You did that on purpose!" Bai Yanjiao, both angry and anxious, raised her hand intending to hit An Ping but her wrist was caught firmly, "With all this free time, why don’t you go and wash the pots and pans!"
After saying this, An Ping also stood up and left.
Bai Yanjiao was truly infuriated, grinding her teeth and stomping her feet as she cursed, "An Ping, An Hao, those two bastards! Just wait until I catch them at the right moment, and I’ll give them a good talking-to for sure."
The sound of An Shuchao coughing came from inside the house, and Bai Xue quickly pulled Bai Yanjiao back, "That’s enough, look at you fussing over a box of Snowflake Cream, let’s drop this matter for now. When I get a hold of something on An Hao, we’ll deal with her properly!"
Bai Yanjiao pouted, nodding reluctantly with an unhappy face.
That very night, Bai Xue had a fight with An Shuchao about An Hao not attending school.
All night she didn’t attend to An Shuchao, turning her back to him.
