Gong Ruwen lay in bed feeling dizzy, "Sis, are you saying we really shouldn’t look at her mood while eating tomorrow?"
These past few days, Gong Ruwen was very upset, as plenty of sharp glances would co his way during als, and even though he was usually careless, he still felt them.
"Who cares about her mood." Gong Ruini was in a good mood these days, hasn’t it been said, when your enemy is upset, that’s when you’re happiest.
What’s more, Zhang Lan hadn’t eaten her fill these days, her face had noticeably slimd down, and Gong Ruini wondered if she would look in the mirror.
If Zhang Lan checked her reflection, she’d probably be startled.
Zhang Lan used to have a round face, looking quite like a kind old lady.
But now she had slimd down, her sharp eyes beca even more prominent, giving her a sowhat harsh appearance.
Gong Ruini was eager to see if the Gong Family would be scared by Zhang Lan’s new look.
"Brother, you must understand, the food is from our supplies, why should we eat sparingly?" Gong Ruini wouldn’t care; why let a white-eyed wolf eat freely?
"But it’s good, mom can have it easier in the future." Gong Ruini had even less regard for Zhang Lan, who was always creating a fuss.
She often made Cai ina do this or that, but starting tomorrow, let them fuss around by themselves.
Gong Ruini was looking forward to Zhang Lan cooking her first al, wondering if she would burn it.
If it got burnt, given Zhang Lan’s reluctance to waste and her unwillingness to share with the white-eyed wolves, she likely wouldn’t throw it away but eat it herself.
Gong Ruini was too excited and ended up sleeping in, missing an entertaining scene in the morning.
Zhang Lan got up, expecting Cai ina to have breakfast ready, but she waited for a long ti without seeing her daughter-in-law bring food.
"Rebelling, even breakfast is not being served."
"Where is everyone?" Zhang Lan shouted angrily inside the house.
Cai ina didn’t want to respond, but the old lady wouldn’t stop.
Unhappily, she ca out, "Mom, why are you causing a fuss? Don’t you know we’re just borrowing this place? Force us, and you’ll have no place to stay."
"Why aren’t you cooking?" Zhang Lan wanted to flare up at Cai ina, but rembered Zhan Jing—though she didn’t say much, her soft-spoken words could be terrifying.
Moreover, Zhao Gang looked fierce and might just kick them out.
"Cook? Didn’t we say yesterday you’d do the work yourselves?" Cai ina had been holding in a lot of frustration these days.
"And don’t go breaking things; these belong to Zhao Gang." Cai ina waved dismissively, indicating everything was Zhang Lan’s concern.
Do the work herself... Zhang Lan then rembered what was said yesterday, "But the rice hasn’t been brought ho."
"You can use sweet potatoes."
"Of course, there are only two." Cai ina wasn’t foolish enough to bring out a bunch of sweet potatoes for Zhang Lan to ruin.
Zhang Lan really intended to use up all the sweet potatoes to starve Gong Tao, hoping to starve them all, but Cai ina blocked that route, proving to be a good daughter-in-law.
Zhang Lan angrily went to wash the sweet potatoes, the water was so cold that she yelped in surprise—no way, desperately needing to boil water, no matter how she struggled, she couldn’t get the fire going and ended up choking half to death.
Cai ina was also choking inside, helplessly she stepped out and quickly opened the main door.
With the door open, a cold wind swept in, hitting Zhang Lan with a chill.
"Gosh, don’t you know it’s cold?" Zhang Lan’s teeth chattered; it was unbearably cold.
Cold? "If it’s not cold, then what, continue choking away." Cai ina turned back inside, supporting Zhan Jing and heading towards Gong Ruini’s place, conveniently closing the door behind her.
Since Zhang Lan said it was cold, keep the place shut, "Mom, take your ti making a fire, didn’t you always say you used to make a fire while cooking as a child."
"I thought that wouldn’t be hard for you." Cai ina had no desire to teach Zhang Lan how to make a fire, seeing her was infuriating enough.
Zhang Lan was dumbfounded; of course, she had said so, telling the daughters-in-law that they had it easy now, never expecting she’d have to face her own words.
Zhang Lan felt a painful sting on her face, unbearably so.
In a fit, Zhang Lan gave up cooking and lay down in bed, but couldn’t escape the heavy smoke. Plus, she hadn’t shut the door, filling the room with smoke.
"Cough cough cough." Zhang Lan felt she couldn’t breathe, tears and snot flowed unchecked.
No choice, she had to open the window, but it was so cold.
What left Zhang Lan in despair was that the fire on the bed had gone out, leaving her teeth chattering uncontrollably.
Gong Ruini was startled to see Zhan Jing coming over, what was happening?
Upon learning the backstory, Gong Ruini burst into laughter, truly, don’t invite trouble if you don’t need it. Zhang Lan probably never imagined she’d face a day of making a traditional stove fire.
"Mom, if you don’t help, will Dad have complaints?" As for Gong Dajiang’s opinion, sorry, concerning a stranger’s opinion isn’t important.
Yesterday, when Zhang Lan spoke, that so-called grandpa didn’t intervene, showing he agreed at heart.
"What opinion would your dad have?" Even if Gong Tao knew, what could he do, kill her?
"Anyway, I’m not helping grandma with washing clothes or chores today, she’s already harboring resentnt, so a bit more won’t matter."
Indeed, Gong Ruini agreed wholeheartedly, "Mom, you should stay here for the night." Hmph, don’t heat the bed and see what they do without it.
Stay here? Cai ina shook her head, so things can’t be overdone, "If anything happens to them, wouldn’t we be the unlucky ones?"
True, plus if they got sick, it wouldn’t be good for Zhan Jing’s health, "Aunt Zhan’s more important, we can’t let them get sick."
"Otherwise Aunt Zhan would feel unwell, and so would the others." Gong Ruini moved over to Zhan Jing, reaching out to touch her belly while speaking incessantly.
Zhao Guangran felt displeased seeing Gong Ruini talking to his brother, this was his brother.
No matter how little Zhao Guangran liked the brother who stole his affection, seeing soone compete with him, he couldn’t help feeling various dissatisfaction.
Zhao Guangran stood up, went over to Zhan Jing, and sat down, speaking continually to Zhan Jing’s belly.
In short, as soon as Gong Ruini said sothing, Zhao Guangran had to follow, and even more so, they seed to be competing for affection.
Zhan Jing was getting dizzy by the two children, "Stop, stop, I’ll teach you a mnemonic song." With such high spirits, they could morize this.
As soon as Zhan Jing finished speaking, everyone scattered, and Zhao Guangran moved the fastest.
