Yang Dachuan came back before noon, bringing the wooden box of big crabs and another wooden box of giant shrimp that Yang Chuxia had asked for.
The crabs and shrimp were placed in wooden boxes, with something covering them, and so, once again, they escaped the villagers’ sight but couldn’t evade the old Yang family’s eyes.
Especially Ms. Luo, every time she saw Yang Chuxia busy in the kitchen, she was really curious about the delicious smell that came out. However, knowing Yang Chuxia was too smart and vigilant, she couldn’t find out anything.
Today, when she saw the wooden box filled with crabs and another box filled with giant shrimp, she could no longer hold back her desire. No matter how the dishes would turn out, she could at least satisfy her craving.
"Xiaxia, your family is really rich now. So many big crabs! Are you going to share some with your grandpa and grandma?"
Yang Chuxia sneered at her and ignored her. Seeing Old Yang squatting at the entrance of the main house, she remembered the bag of silver he had given her and said, "Grandpa, come to my house for lunch!"
Old Yang squinted his eyes, shook his head, and said, "No, you guys eat."
Since Old Yang was unwilling to go, Yang Chuxia didn’t force him. She just thought that she would ask her brothers to drag him over later. As for sending food to the main house, it was out of the question. No matter how much silver Old Yang gave her, she wouldn’t take anything to the main house, not letting those hangers-on benefit.
"Xiaxia, it might be rude if you only ask your grandpa and not your grandma."
Yang Chuxia snorted and said, "Don’t bother me with your nonsense. I’ve told you many times that my grandma doesn’t eat food from the living. Do you guys in the main house have brain problems, or what?"
After saying that, she snorted again, "Don’t think I don’t know what you’re thinking about. You’re just jealous of these big crabs and shrimp, right? Wishful thinking. Even if I have to crush them and feed them to the chickens and ducks, you won’t get to taste a single crab claw."
If Yang Xiao’an and Yang Xiaochuan had been good, she might have shown some kindness to them for Old Yang’s sake. But Yang Xiaochuan’s selfish scheming and Yang Xiao’an’s dreadful behavior, coupled with Ms. Luo’s manipulative nature, made her resent them.
"You..." Yang Chuxia’s words were too merciless, making Ms. Luo’s face flush with anger. Seeing that she couldn’t get any benefits, she flicked her hand and prepared to go inside.
But her daughter, Yang Dongxue, started crying, clamoring to eat big crabs.
This little girl was one year younger than Yang Xiayun and was four years old this year. As the only daughter of Yang Xiaochuan and his wife, they treated her like a precious gem. When she heard that she might not be able to eat big crabs, she started crying loudly.
Seeing this, Ms. Liu of the first branch of the family sneered and glared at Ms. Luo. Then she said, "You shallow people, if you want to eat big crabs, go find your own money to buy them. Stop trying to mooch off other people’s stuff. If you can’t teach your child properly, how can you have any shame?"
Holy shit, Yang Chuxia couldn’t believe her ears. Were those Liu’s words? Was Liu that understanding?
Ms. Liu’s face flushed slightly under Yang Chuxia’s direct gaze. Of course, she wasn’t that understanding in reality. Honestly, she wanted to eat those big crabs and giant shrimp, feeling that her saliva would flow out just by thinking about it.
However, her current disgust towards Ms. Luo was even stronger. Their scuffle last night had been so loud, yet this shameless woman had slipped back into her room without trying to break them apart.
