Old Mrs. Tao was cowardly and troublesome. After her husband died in middle age, she raised three ungrateful sons, helping them get married and have children. In her old age, no one took care of he...
"Give it to me!" Tao Ying couldn't take it anymore. The moment Zhou Daya's chopsticks touched the meat, she quickly grabbed the braised pork and put it into Grandpa Wang's bowl.
Zhou Daya turned her head and looked incredulously at the bowl in Grandpa Wang's bowl.
The moment Zhou Daya looked over, Grandpa Wang picked up his chopsticks and put the meat in his mouth.
"Mom, look at Dad, he doesn't care about you at all. He doesn't even know to give you any meat." Tao Ying said to Zhou Daya sarcastically as the meat went into Grandpa Wang's mouth.
"You put this on my plate?!" Old Master Wang felt the murderous glare from his wife and stared at Tao Ying in disbelief.
"You'd eat it just because she gave it to you? That's my flesh!" Zhou Daya glared at Old Master Wang resentfully.
"Grandma, where's all this meat?" Wang Chunli really couldn't understand what the old lady was doing here.
Also, why does the milk taste different at my aunt's house compared to when it's at home?
My aunt is even taking meat from my grandma's bowl. If my mom dared to do that at home, my grandma would scold me for three days straight.
"Eat meat, everyone!" Tao Ying said when she saw that none of the children were touching their chopsticks.
Zhou Daya then shakily picked up the meat.
Grandpa Wang only dared to pick up some meat after he saw the old lady start eating.
"Dad, do you want to eat big bones?" Tao Ying asked Grandpa Wang, glancing at the bones chopped in two in the sauerkraut bowl.
"Old woman, do you want some?" Old Master Wang turned to look at Zhou Daya.
"I only have four teeth left in the front, do you think I have too many teeth?" Zhou Daya glared angrily at Grandpa Wang.
"Give it to the child, I'll just have the braised pork." Grandpa Wang thought for a moment and realized he only had two more teeth than Grandma, so he decided not to gnaw on the big bone.
"Then eat whatever you like," Tao Ying said, watching the children engrossed in their food.
After dinner, Wang Chuntao made a cup of tea for the old man and woman to help them clean up their grease, and then the two young maids cleaned up the kitchen together and went back to their room.
Tao Chenyang, on the other hand, stayed by Tao Ying's side.
Zhou Daya glanced at Tao Ying, not wanting to stay with the eldest son's wife, so she got up to go back to her room.
"Mom, where are you going? We haven't finished talking yet," Tao Ying called out to Zhou Daya from behind.
Mr. Wang, who was about to get up and follow the old lady, sat back down after hearing Tao Ying's words. He thought for a moment, filled a new bag with tobacco, and started puffing away.
"What did we say?" Zhou Daya looked at Tao Ying warily. Didn't they just grab the meat?
"We were just talking about Wang Baojun and Zhao Shuangfeng before dinner, there's still one we haven't talked about yet," Tao Ying said with a kind smile.
"Who else? Can you please stop smoking? It's choking people to death every day, and the child is right here." Zhou Daya was very uneasy. She glanced at Grandpa Wang, who was smoking calmly to the side, and immediately became furious.
Old Master Wang hadn't expected that he would be dragged into this without anyone saying a word, so he moved to the side, keeping his pipe away from Tao Chenyang.
"Mom, please sit down. We're talking about Baomin." Tao Ying gave Zhou Daya a standard smile and pulled out a chair for her.
"What's wrong, Baomin?" Zhou Daya asked, seeing her daughter-in-law lower her head. She then sat down quietly.
"About Baomin's girlfriend, her family is after my job and wants to give it to his younger brother from his maternal family..."
"What the hell is this? Is Baomin dead?" Before Tao Ying could finish speaking, Zhou Daya immediately started cursing.
"Mom, let me finish. Baomin doesn't want to date that girl anymore, but I'm not done talking about it yet," Tao Ying quickly explained.
"What do you mean we haven't finished talking? Why haven't we finished talking? Are we waiting for the New Year?" Zhou Daya said angrily.
"This girl's family isn't exactly innocent; they must be up to no good. I'm just waiting for Li Caixia's family to start getting restless..."
"Bullshit, we have to strike first. Take me to that girl's house now, and I'll give them a piece of my mind." Zhou Daya had no intention of letting Tao Ying finish speaking.
This is something you can't tolerate; if you do, you'll just stay angry.
“Mom, you’re right, but let’s deal with the matchmaker first tomorrow. You can step in when the girl comes to us.” Tao Ying was amazed by the old lady’s strength.
"Every day, he's nothing but a coward. He thinks he's capable, but he's only good at bullying his own kind. I, the god, have to lift him up." Zhou Daya was stunned again.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, is there any money for this?" Seeing that the old lady hadn't gotten to the point for a while, Old Master Wang asked Tao Ying in a low voice, worried that if the old woman got carried away with her scolding and made the eldest daughter-in-law angry, what would happen if she didn't pay him?
"You're obsessed with money all day long." When Zhou Daya gets angry, she can't distinguish between friend and foe.
“Dad, if you take care of Li Caixia’s family, I’ll give you five yuan.” Tao Ying wasn’t a stingy person.
"See? How could the eldest son's wife possibly mistreat us?" Zhou Daya glared at Old Master Wang.
Old Master Wang didn't say anything, he just kept smoking.
Tao Chenyang got sleepy halfway through and Wang Chuntao took him back to sleep.
"Grandpa, Grandma." The three of them were discussing their options when Wang Baoshan and Wang Chunni returned.
"Hurry up and eat." Zhou Daya nodded happily, looking at the smiling face on her eldest granddaughter's face.
"There's braised pork in the kitchen, made by Chunli, and sauerkraut stewed by Chuntao. The dishes on the cupboard were served to you two in advance. Chunni, go heat them up, and you two hurry up and eat," Tao Ying said to Wang Chunni.
"Okay, Mom." Wang Chunni put down her bag and went into the kitchen.
"Grandpa, Grandma, I've missed you both so much. If I didn't have to go to school today, I would have gone with my second brother to pick you up." Wang Baoshan sat down next to Zhou Daya affectionately.
"Don't talk nonsense. I've only been back for a few days. I haven't seen you for half a year before, and you never came back to see me. Do you think I'm some senile old man?" Zhou Daya slapped Wang Baoshan with disgust.
This little brat is all talk and no action. He's not as practical as the eldest son's wife. At least the eldest son's wife gets meat for herself.
Wang Baoshan: "..." Could it be that he really is at the bottom of the social ladder in his family?
Grandpa Wang: "..." Why are you dragging me into this again? I didn't do anything to you.
Tao Ying watched the spectacle with amusement.
The kitchen stove hadn't been removed yet; Wang Chuntao had specially left it for Wang Chunni.
Wang Chunni quickly heated up the food.
"Mom, this meat is so delicious." Wang Baoshan held a big bone in one hand, dipping it in garlic sauce and munching on it.
Wang Chunni added more potatoes and pickled cabbage to her diet.
"Chunni, what about that big bowl of meat? We also have a bowl of meat left over from tonight's meal. Why are you only picking at potatoes?" Zhou Daya couldn't help but ask as she watched the two children eat.
"Chunni likes to force herself to do things without any effort. Mom, you should educate her more often when you have time." Tao Ying was too lazy to even talk to Wang Chunni.
Wang Baoshan was stunned when Zhou Daya started singing.
