46: Chapter 46 The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat 46: Chapter 46 The Toad Wants to Eat Swan Meat “Whether you guys have an opinion or not, what matters is whether Fengzi likes her.” The old lady smiled at Bai Yufeng, “Just having the intention isn’t enough, you also need to take action.
When you’re free, go help An Hao with things like carrying water or cooking.
And if you get the chance, ‘take her down’…”
What the old lady meant by “take her down” was to sleep with An Hao.
Once he slept with An Hao, she’d have to marry him whether she wanted to or not.
“Sure, grandma, I understand.” Bai Yufeng, his schemes endorsed by the old lady, was so excited he rubbed his hands together.
Bai Yanjiao, listening to the side, pulled on her mother Bai Xue, “Mom, grandma is coming up with another rotten idea.
If cousin really has the ability to sleep with An Hao, then it’s fine, but I’m afraid he might end up trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing a handful of rice.”
Although Bai Xue was worried, she reconsidered and thought that if An Hao really could be seduced by Bai Yufeng, then the house would quiet down from now on.
She wouldn’t be able to make trouble for her again.
In other words, even if he fails to steal the chicken, what’s the worst that could happen?
It would just cause a fuss, but if it really happens, if An Hao marries out, she would be so happy she’d wake from her dreams laughing.
“Alright, then it’s settled.” the old lady took out her dry tobacco pipe from her clothes, put it to her lips, and tsk tsked, “This is a big matter for our family, and you all need to be supportive.
This granddaughter-in-law is the one I’ve chosen, and I must secure her no matter what!”
After An Hao finished cleaning up the pots and went to the yard to shovel coal and stoke the fire, she passed by Bai Yanjiao’s room and heard the conversation inside.
Hearing the old lady talking about a big matter, about a granddaughter-in-law, she couldn’t help but sneer secretly.
A family of lazy gluttons—who would dare marry into it?
With things as they are, they still want to take a wife—what family’s daughter would look up to them?
After she sealed the kitchen stove, she returned to her own room to read.
Not long after she sat down, Song Yueqin came looking for her.
Seeing An Hao engrossed in doing her exercises, she felt a taste of indescribable dissatisfaction.
An Hao was already better than her in school on a normal day; wouldn’t she be even better with additional reading?
“An Hao, why haven’t you come to see me anymore?” Song Yueqin frowned, looking unhappy, “I’ve been back for so long and you haven’t even visited my house once!”
An Hao spread her hands with a look of helplessness, “There’s too much going on at home, my stepmother’s relatives have all come, and I can’t find the time to visit you.”
Song Yueqin knew a thing or two about the situation at An Hao’s house.
The Bai Family had been living at the An Family’s house for such a long time, eating and drinking for free, and it was already the talk of the town.
But as the saying goes, it’s none of their business, so they didn’t take it to heart.
“An Hao, can your family really sustain feeding your stepmother’s whole family for free?”
“We can’t afford it,” An Hao replied honestly.
“Then why don’t you kick them out?” Song Yueqin suggested to An Hao.
“I won’t kick them out.
Let nature take its course,” she said resignedly.
She wasn’t the only one in a hurry in this household; once everything was eaten and drunk up, they would naturally leave.
If she went so far as to kick them out, who knows what kind of commotion that might stir up.
Song Yueqin felt that An Hao had really changed; if it had been the past, she would have asked for her help in devising a plan, but now she had outright rejected the idea.
“If you won’t kick them out, then you won’t.
I guess they’ll be leaving soon anyway,” Song Yueqin said offhandedly, seeing that An Hao wasn’t taking the bait, and continued,” Tomorrow is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
I heard from my mom that the neighboring village is showing a movie, let’s go watch it together.”
