Chapter 42 Boiling Beef Bones, The Scary Child

“Yang Yufeng! How could you watch the child like that? Are you even a mother? You…”

Lu Fangfang was so angry that she didn't know how to scold her anymore.

Yang Yufeng was still holding the pot lid, standing there dumbfounded.

Clang.

The pot lid slipped from Yang Yufeng's hand. She shuddered and finally came to her senses.

She bent down and slapped her daughter across the face. "You little brat, are you looking for death? Don't you have hands? Why don't you burn yourself to death, you ungrateful thing?"

The more Lu Fangfang listened, the uglier her face became.

Finally, she couldn't take it anymore and said, "Is this how you raise children?"

She glanced down at the child; the little girl's face was already swollen.

However, she didn't cry. Her eyes were still fixed on the beef bones in the pot, and she was muttering something under her breath.

"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat..."

Lu Fangfang listened carefully and felt quite helpless. "Girl, if you want to eat meat, just tell me. You can't just put it directly into the pot."

"I want to eat meat! I want to eat meat!"

The little girl's eyes moved, she glanced at Lu Fangfang, and continued repeating the same sentence.

Lu Fangfang: "..."

Turning around, she picked up a spoon, reached into the large iron pot, and scooped out a beef rib.

After simmering for three or four hours, the bones were very tender, and the marrow had flowed out.

"Hmm."

The little girl grabbed it and put it in her mouth, sucking on it.

Upon seeing this, Yang Yufeng forgot about blaming the child and immediately looked at Lu Fangfang.

"Go away, it's getting late, I won't keep you any longer."

Lu Fangfang rolled her eyes and started kicking people out.

At this moment, the little girl had a bone sucking on her mouth and obediently walked out, but Yang Yufeng, who was standing to the side, was not happy about it.

"Fangfang, I've been at your house all afternoon. You can't do this to me. You can't eat all of this anyway. At least give me a few bones."

"Pah!"

Upon hearing Yang Yufeng mention this, Lu Fangfang became even angrier.

"You have the nerve to say that? You've been here all afternoon, watching, and haven't even offered a helping hand. Now you want to gnaw on a bone? How dare you? Get out of here!"

"Smack."

Lu Fangfang slammed the door shut and stormed back.

Oh dear, she felt a chill run down her spine just thinking about what had just happened.

"How can she be a mother? She has absolutely no sense of responsibility. It's a terrible thing. Oh, I'm so angry!"

Back in the courtyard, Lu Fangfang was so angry when she saw the pot lid on the ground that she nearly fell over.

She cursed at her neighbor through the wall.
