Chapter 7 The Trouble-Making Second Sister-In-Law
Despite this blank year, Liu Cuihua never treated her children badly, especially Wu Xiyuan. The fact that her son who was normal before, had grown like this, made her heart sore. The new brood of chicks were born for her children to eat eggs.
She took the egg from his hand, winked at Su Jiuyue and said with a smile, "Sweetheart, you know how to care for your wife. I'm going to cook eggs for you right now."
Sue Jiuyue became shy hearing these words, but still hurriedly called her, "Aunt, you don't have to cook for me, I don't need them."
Liu Cuihua turned her head and glanced at her, "dear, why still call me aunt? Call me Mom!"
Su Jiuyue felt that everyone had stopped what they were doing and watched her. Tian Xiuniang in the kitchen also poked her head out to watch the fun. She blushed and whispered, "Mom."
Liu Cuihua smiled happily, "Poor girl, look how thin you are, I'm going to cook eggs for you."
Su Jiuyue said anxiously, "Mom! I really needn't. I haven't done anything today!"
How can she freeload without working?!
Liu Cuihua took a look at her, feeling distressed, thought for a while, and said to her, "If so, help me hang these clothes to dry, then go to wash up yourself. Hot water is in the pot!"
Su Jiuyue was puzzled, is hanging clothes work?
Wu Xiyuan on the side came over excitedly, "Darling, you are too short. Let me help you."
Watching him make a mess of the clothes, Su Jiuyue hurriedly came forward to take out the clothes, and hang them with the help of Wu Xiyuan.
Wu Xiyuan and Su Jiuyue collected six eggs and Liu Cuihua cooked four.
One for Su Jiuyue and one for Wu Xiyuan. The other two were given to Daya and Shitou.
Chen Zhaodi peeled the eggshell for her daughter without speaking, but Tian Xiuniang beside her was unhappy.
"Mom, you are too partial, right? We are all your daughters-in-law, why only the third has an egg to eat, but I and my sister-in-law have no?"
On the table, the clashing of the dishes stopped abruptly, and everyone kept silent.
Neither of the other two sons in the Wu family are young and they are unlikely to compete with children for food, but they know their mother's temperament. Saying this at the table, doesn't she want to have the meal?
Liu's second son glared at his wife, but did not dare to speak.
Liu Cuihua looked at her as expected, "Xiuniang, what did you just say?"
For a moment, Tian Xiunian was a little timid, but seeing everyone looking at her, she mustered the courage to say, "What you did, I can't question? You are partial indeed. In my opinion, all of those six eggs should be cooked, one for me and one for my sister-in-law. Zhaodi, don't you think so?"
Of course, Chen Zhaodi did not dare to agree, and hurriedly said, "Give the eggs to the children. The meal is enough for me."
Tian Xiuniang wanted to say more, but Liu Cuihua directly threw the chopsticks in her hand and cursed, "You want to eat eggs? If you want to eat the meal, continue eating. Otherwise, put the bowl down! I'll save food for the family! I'm partial? Ask yourself, fool, the day after you got married, what did I give you to east?! If it wasn't a bad year now, I would have got some meat for little Jiu!"
Tian Xiuniang was married in a decent manner. When the bride came in their family, Liu Cuihua directly went to the butcher Zhang in the village to buy a pig thigh. For the first three days after Tian Xiuniang married, she had meat to eat for each meal.
Wu Ercheng saw that Tian Xiuniang wanted to talk more, he quickly pulled her up and dragged her out.
After a while, he came back without a word and took away Tian Xiuniang's dishes.
