43: Chapter 43 Not Taking the Blame 43: Chapter 43 Not Taking the Blame Although her family had been eating at her expense for so many days, and she felt distressed by it, the fact that her good-for-nothing brother and sister-in-law brazenly ate without contributing, truly angered her.
But no matter how angry she was, they were still her biological brother and sister-in-law, and An Hao was being too much by acting this way.
“An Hao, you’re letting my family eat this?” She lost her appetite at the sight of the large basin filled with plain white radish strips.
She was truly fed up.
Don’t we often eat this?
What’s bad about it?” An Hao ignored her and continued to serve the food onto the table.
As soon as the food was served, all the freeloaders in the house showed up.
Upon seeing the meal, Bai Jianshe was immediately dissatisfied, “Sis, what do you mean by this?
Are you trying to drive us away?
If you want us to leave, just say it!
You don’t have to use this method to humiliate us!”
Bai Xue, seeing her brother overthinking it and noticing that her grandmother was also not pleased, hurriedly explained, “I didn’t mean that at all.
I wasn’t feeling well today, and the meal was cooked by An Hao.”
The implication was clear that the idea was An Hao’s, and she had nothing to do with it.
Bai Xue’s words immediately caused everyone to look sharply at An Hao.
An Hao had no intention of taking the blame.
Without even lifting her eyes, she said indifferently, “Yes, I did cook the food.
Isn’t this also what you wanted?”
“Xue, your mother raised you, and now you can’t even bear to feed her for a few days when she’s old?” The old lady was also unhappy with her daughter’s attitude.
“Sis, you’re being too unfair!
Between us, siblings, how can you act ?” Bai Jianshe glared at Bai Xue with a face full of rage.
Bai Xue truly felt wronged.
This was not her intention at all; she simply wanted An Hao to chip in with some money.
Bai Yanjiao, seeing her mother being misunderstood by everyone and noticing An Hao’s indifferent demeanor, couldn’t contain her anger.
She lashed out at An Hao, “An Hao, are you setting my mother up ?
My mom didn’t mean that!”
Bai Xue, seeing her daughter defending her, put down her chopsticks, covered her face, and wept quietly to one side.
An Shuchao also felt that this time his daughter had gone too far, so he reprimanded An Hao, “An Hao, your mom didn’t mean that, you misunderstood her.”
An Hao felt a bitter taste in her mouth when she saw her father inadvertently siding with Bai Xue.
She glanced at Bai Xue and spoke calmly, “Don’t cry.
Since you feel wronged, let’s talk about it.
Yes, you asked me to cook, but did I ask you for money to buy groceries?
Did you give it to me?
Without even giving money, how do you expect me to prepare a meal?
So, I have two interpretations, first, you’re deliberately making it difficult for me.
Second, you want to drive them away but are too embarrassed to do it yourself, so you made me do it.
How should I interpret it?”
Bai Xue had intended to throw the problem to An Hao, but instead, she was neatly checkmated by her.
Facing so many people, no matter what she chose, it was wrong, so she could only cry out louder, “Didn’t I tell you to front the money?”
“Our family is this poor?
Even if I had money, I couldn’t support this constant eating!” An Hao finished speaking, picked up her chopsticks, and started eating her meal.
“We’re just eating at your place for a few days, do you need to give us such attitude?
Making it seem like we’re locusts or something.” Niu Cuihua grumbled with a frown.
What kind of attitude is this!
After all, this is my sister’s house.
No matter what, you’re not the one to call the shots.” Bai Jianshe’s temper flared up again.
An Shuchao had reservations about his mother-in-law and his maternal uncle, but he didn’t dare to say anything directly.
