Most importantly, where did she get the money to buy these things?

"Little Tree, where did your mother get the food?"

Little Tree chuckled, made a whispering gesture, and said quietly, "This morning, my mother took me to my maternal grandmother's house to collect a debt."

"Collecting debts?!"

The Song family was all taken aback.

"Su Yun'er dares to defy her family? The sun must be rising in the west."

When the Song family came to their senses, they found that Xiaoshu had already run away with Xiaocao. Aunt Song chased after them, calling out a few times to slow down.

Li Lan and Zhu Xiufang, the two sisters-in-law, exchanged a glance.

"Mother, does Su Yun'er sending the child to bring food mean she's paying off a debt?" Li Lan guessed.

Zhu Xiufang pursed her lips: "With so much food all at once, it seems Su Yun'er got quite a bit from her family."

Aunt Song didn't respond. She just looked at the two bowls of meat, and when she looked up, she saw Song Zixing craning his neck to look at her.

Song Zixing is the son of the eldest son, Song Muqiang, and is also the only grandchild of the Song family.

"Grandma, I want to eat meat."

The two sisters-in-law didn't dare to say a word. In the Song family, the mother-in-law was in charge, and if she didn't speak, neither of them dared to.

"Eat! Come on, let's get ready to eat. Since Su Yun'er was sent here to pay off her debts, she's ours. Let's have a feast today."

With Aunt Song's help, Li Lan and her sister-in-law cooked faster, and the whole family happily shared the meat.

When Xiaoshu and Xiaocao returned home, Su Yun'er had just finished heating up the food.

We hadn't eaten meat in a long time, and then we were assigned to run errands. The two kids smelled the aroma of meat and felt so hungry they could eat a whole calf.

They scrambled to climb onto the kang (heated brick bed), but Su Yun'er grabbed them by the back of their necks, one on each side: "Go wash your hands first. You can only eat after you've washed your hands."

"Mom, why do we need to wash our hands?"

"My mother never made us wash our hands before."

The twins pouted, clearly unhappy.

"The past is the past, the present is the present. We're going to establish new rules in our family, one of which is: wash your hands before meals and after using the toilet. Go wash your hands now."

Su Yun'er pretended to be expressionless, and her stern face reminded the twins of their mother from before. They immediately dared not say anything more and obediently went to wash their hands.

Su Yun'er wrung out a towel and handed it to Old Mrs. Chen. After wiping her hands with the warm towel, Old Mrs. Chen felt that her hands and bones were relaxed.

"Mom, we're done washing!" The twins raised their hands for Su Yun'er to check. Seeing Su Yun'er nod, they immediately climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and sat down at the small kang table.

"Mom, let's eat." Su Yun'er handed a pair of chopsticks to Old Mrs. Chen and stopped the twins from picking up food with her eyes.

"Our family's second rule is that we can only start eating after Grandma has started eating," Su Yun'er said seriously.

Old Mrs. Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Su Yun'er had given her too many shocks today, but the nicer Su Yun'er was to her, the more uneasy she felt, always worried that Su Yun'er had some hidden tricks up her sleeve.

However, Grandma Chen showed no sign of it on her face. She picked up her chopsticks, put a few green vegetables into her bowl, and said to the children with a smile, "Alright, let's eat."

Seeing that Old Mrs. Chen was only eating vegetables, Su Yun'er picked out a chicken leg from her bowl and put it in Old Mrs. Chen's bowl: "Mother, eat meat."

Then he put a piece of meat on each of the children's plates: "Eat meat."

The meat was cut into large pieces, too big for the twins to hold with chopsticks, so they simply grabbed it with their hands and took a bite from the thickest part of the meat. They felt the oil filling their mouths and smiled happily and contentedly.
