Chapter 93 Just Want to Eat Meat

Doesn't she realize how much money her mother-in-law spends on that wretched girl every year? How much less will she get when the family divides up?

The thought of her money being squandered made Li Chunhua's heart bleed.

What sins did she commit in her past life to give birth to such a damned debt collector!

Zhou Zhaodi watched as her expressions shifted between disdain, heartache, and regret, changing several times in just a few seconds—more dramatic than the face-changing act in a theatrical troupe.

They were watching with great interest, practically munching on sunflower seeds.

Unfortunately, Li Chunhua noticed that she went inside with a long face after watching the play.

"Tsk!"

Just as Zhou Zhaodi was feeling regretful, she saw Zhao Mei walk out of the kitchen with a guilty look on her face, so she raised her eyebrows and called out, "Sister-in-law."

Zhao Mei was startled and instinctively covered her pocket, stammering, "W-what's wrong?"

Zhou Zhaodi glanced meaningfully at her pocket and said, "Nothing much, just asking if you're going to take a shower tonight? If you're not, I will."

Zhao Mei immediately felt even more guilty, her eyes darting around as she said, "I won't wash it, sister-in-law, you wash it."

After saying that, he lowered his head and hurried back into the house as if a ghost was chasing him.

Zhou Zhaodi didn't stop her, thinking to herself that this family was becoming more and more interesting, and there would be a lot of excitement to watch in the future!

Inside the house, Chen Erni was still sobbing, while Dani was comforting her with half a sweet potato cake: "Erni, don't cry, or you'll hurt your eyes."

This was money she saved from her own food rations.

Zhao Mei strode over and took out a roasted sweet potato from her pocket: "Daughter, Mom roasted a sweet potato for you."

The roasted sweet potato was tiny, smaller than the palm of her hand.

Dani was extremely surprised.

Her mother has always been honest and law-abiding, but this time she actually stole sweet potatoes behind her mother's back for Erni's sake and even roasted them in the stove!

Chen Erni glanced at it, but her sobs only intensified. "Mom, I want to eat braised fish!"

She only ate two bites of that delicious braised fish!

Zhao Mei looked troubled and said, "But we've already finished eating the braised fish."

Chen Erni choked up and said, "Then, then I want to eat wild boar meat."

Zhao Mei was even more troubled: "Your grandma locked all the wild boar meat in the cupboard."

Moreover, even if she had a hundred times the courage, she wouldn't dare to steal something as precious as meat.

She was so nervous that her palms were sweating even when she only stole a small sweet potato.

Chen Erni knew, of course, that the food was locked in the cupboard by her grandmother, but she still wanted to eat it!

She was given a rare opportunity to eat meat to her heart's content, but before she had even had her fill, she was punished by being forbidden from eating for a day.

The remaining wild boar meat will definitely be eaten up tomorrow, and she won't get any left!

Thinking of this, Erni burst into tears, "Mom, I'm also Grandma's granddaughter, so why is Grandma so cruel to me?"

Hearing her daughter's hoarse voice from crying, Zhao Mei's heart ached.

However, her parents-in-law were in charge of the household, and it was only right that Erni was punished for wasting food.

All I could do was teach my daughter, "You must never waste food again."

After saying that, he stuffed the steaming hot roasted sweet potato into her hand: "Eat it quickly, Mom will secretly hide two pieces of meat for you tomorrow."

Da Ni also said, "I'll hide two pieces for you too."

I dared not hide any more, for fear that my grandmother would find out.

What can Chen Erni do?

With a sense of indignation, I accepted the roasted sweet potato, tore off the skin, and began to eat. Inside, the golden sweet potato flesh was soft, sticky, and sweet.
