Most importantly, during breakfast, they acted pretentiously in front of the old devout woman, and the old lady even gave an extra steamed bun to the fourth branch of the family.
The steamed buns were meticulously prepared; only the men in the house could eat them, followed by the old devout woman herself. It was only because of the third branch’s daily supply of meat and fish that they could have them these past few days. Today, her share was eaten by Ms.Luo. Could she be happy about it?
"Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Xue’er is just a child who knows nothing. Seeing delicious food and craving it is just her nature. Is your Qingbao any different?"
"Don’t bring up my Qingbao. No matter what, he wouldn’t be like your little brat, unable to walk when he sees food."
Ms.Liu talked big, but her son didn’t give her any face. When he saw the third branch’s large crab, he rushed out shouting, "I want to eat crab, I want to eat crab!"
At Ms.Liu’s words, her face immediately turned red, while Ms.Luo burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at? Do you believe I will tear your face apart?"
"Mother, look at sister-in-law. Where did she learn such rudeness? Always threatening to hit people, just yesterday she hit mother and second sister-in-law. Now she wants to hit me. Mother, you see!" Ms.Luo pretended to be innocent, complaining to Old Lady Hua who just came out of the house.
As expected, when Old Lady Hua heard about the fight last night, she looked furious. But spotting the crab in Yang Chuxia’s hand, she became greedy instead.
She glared at the big daughter-in-law who seemed ready to fight her at any moment but didn’t say anything and left.
Old Lady Hua went out, and Ms.Liu laughingly snorted several times at Ms.Luo, who was infuriated and rolled her eyes.
Yang Chuxia watched this drama with great interest while cleaning the crab, thinking that the Yang Family is truly restless. Without her intervening, they would still create chaos and refuse to cooperate.
Fortunately, her family would be moving out soon. It was better than being with these people daily. Although she could watch them argue, such perpetual unrest was quite annoying.
After lunch, Yang Chuxia and Yang Dachuan each carried a wooden bucket to Ye Zi’an’s house to prepare drunken crab, and then she started trying to make drunken shrimp.
Originally, she planned to make the drunken shrimp after selling the current batch of drunken crab. But now that she had the money for the cost, there was no need to wait.
After preparing the drunken crab and shrimp, they returned to the third branch’s house just in time to make dinner.
Yang Chuxia looked at the remaining ten or so crabs, a big bowl of shrimp, and ingredients Yang Dachuan had bought in town that morning. She thought for a moment and said, "Little brother, go see if your granduncle’s family has arrived. If they have, invite them to our house for dinner and also call Uncle Dayong. Dad, please invite Uncle Old Gen and Fourth Granduncle as well. I’ve already spoken with Uncle Old Gen about building our house, so tomorrow we’ll need to ask him to find people and buy materials."
"Girl, you’ve already settled everything? I was going to see Uncle Old Gen this evening."
"Mhm, Dad, I went to see him when you went to town this morning, after leaving granduncle’s house."
Yang Chuxia had already told Ms.Wang and Yang Dachuan about the land they had bought from the Land Officer, and no one objected. Instead, they were all quite happy since both Ms.Wang and Yang Dachuan preferred quiet and felt it was good to be away from the village.
