Chapter 118 The person who came was none other than Sister-in-law Wei.
She stared at the large pot of meat in front of Jiang Xixi, almost drooling, her eyes glued to it.
Upon seeing Sister-in-law Wei, Jiang Xixi felt that the meat in her mouth no longer tasted so good.
Hearing her foul language only made me angrier.
"Oh, I didn't know that eating meat is heartless and would be struck by lightning. Besides, Mom said she doesn't care about our meat. What, if she doesn't care, am I supposed to stuff it into her mouth?"
"Besides, I've often seen you giving yourself and your big, fat son special treats. Oh, I see, you're unhappy that the meat isn't going into your mouths, so you're causing me trouble." Jiang Xixi's expression turned very unfriendly as she finished speaking.
When Sister-in-law Wei was told this, she was initially a little embarrassed, but soon her face showed indifference.
"What's it to you if I eat meat from my own family?" Sister-in-law Wei muttered under her breath.
"So what if I eat meat from my own family? What's it to you?" Jiang Xixi was so angry she laughed. This person was really hypocritical!
Wei Laicheng, standing next to him, was also speechless. Stupid people are not scary; what's scary is a stupid person who thinks he's smart.
Unfortunately, his sister-in-law—no, his ex-sister-in-law—was just that kind of person.
Wei Ersao, who was secretly observing the situation outside the gate, cursed under her breath, but remembering the purpose of her visit, she had no choice but to put on a smile and walk inside with her still-not-so-obvious pregnant belly.
"Third brother, Xixi, you're eating. Oh, sister-in-law, what are you doing here? Didn't you just say you had urgent business in the county town and had to go back? Why are you here with your third brother?"
"When did I..." Sister-in-law Wei didn't react in time and started to retort, but she was silenced by a warning look from Sister-in-law Wei.
Jiang Xixi and Wei Laicheng exchanged a glance, both of them visibly speechless.
These two really think others are fools. If they hadn't seen the pair of red cotton shoes under the gate just now, they might have been fooled by them.
However, these two usually don't come here for good news. What are they up to now?
Thinking about the purpose of Wei's mother's last visit and what happened when Wei Laicheng went to the old house, Jiang Xixi had a general idea of what was going on.
"Second sister-in-law, let's not stand on ceremony. What brings you here this time? Just get to the point. Wei Laicheng just stewed a pot of meat, and we're both waiting to eat it."
Wei Ersao was surprised by Jiang Xixi's impoliteness, after all, she and Jiang Xixi used to have a fairly good relationship.
Little did she know that her previous actions, which she thought were wise and prudent, had already made Jiang Xixi completely disgusted with her.
"Xixi, shall we go inside to talk? It's all smoke in here, and I'm not feeling well this pregnancy. I'm really uncomfortable."
Jiang Xixi and her companion were eating in the kitchen, which was small but warm.
But if two more people were added, the space would be very cramped. The kitchen, which had just finished cooking the iron pot stew, was full of steam. Seeing that Wei Ersao was indeed feeling unwell, Jiang Xixi gave Wei Laicheng a look and walked straight to the main room by herself.
Seeing his wife leave, Wei Laicheng added more fuel to the fire on the stove. The stewed meat had just been cooked and they hadn't even eaten it yet. These two were really oblivious to everything.
Thinking of this, Wei Laicheng couldn't help but glare at his sister-in-law.
As luck would have it, Sister-in-law Wei was staring greedily into the pot when their eyes met, and Wei Laicheng scoffed softly.
"Sister-in-law, what's wrong?"
Sister-in-law Wei didn't seem to care at all, and even said, "Third brother, although what I said just now was wrong, our mother really hasn't eaten meat for a long time."
"How about this, you and the second son's family go talk to them first, and I'll take this pot of meat to Mom and Dad so they can have a taste."
Wei Laicheng was speechless. Did this person think he hadn't seen the two-foot-long drool she was spewing?
He took it back to his parents, but in his opinion, it would be more likely to end up in her own mouth.
"No need. When you and your second brother buy meat, Xixi and I will also buy some to send to our parents. Otherwise, if I send the meat over, it will seem like you and your second brother are taking advantage of me."
Although I know that's not what you meant, public opinion is a powerful force.
Thinking back to the last time he visited the old house, and how his eldest and second sisters-in-law looked at him as if he owed them something, Wei Laicheng's smile deepened.
Those who curse and complain will never be able to take advantage of me again.
"Sister-in-law, hurry up, I'll be right there once I've tidied up the kitchen, you don't need to help."
Sister-in-law Wei looked embarrassed, thinking to herself, "Who wants to help you?"
She looked at the pot of meat and her face was full of regret, but given Wei Laicheng's attitude today, she knew she wouldn't get to eat any meat.
Watching Sister-in-law Wei walk out of the kitchen, turning back every few steps, Wei Laicheng wore a sarcastic smile.
...
The stove was lit inside, and the kang (a heated brick bed) was also very hot, making it very cozy.
But Wei Ersao felt utterly disheartened.
"Xixi, please help your second sister-in-law. Your second brother is useless, and I'm in poor health. After the baby is born, she'll have to call you 'little aunt.' Please help us!"
It's that trick again. To be honest, the Wei family isn't annoyed by it, but Jiang Xixi is annoyed to death.
Since marrying Wei Laicheng, this kind of drama has played out countless times.
"Second sister-in-law, how do you want me to help you? As for the job, I've already told you. If you're capable, go take the exam yourself or buy one. What's the use of begging me here?"
What can I do?
Jiang Xixi picked up the water on the table and took a sip.
"Xixi, everyone knows you have a good relationship with the department store's management. I heard you even supply them with some goods. If you say a few words to him, I don't believe he won't give you face."
Don't worry, if you can really find a job for your second sister-in-law or your second brother, I will definitely stand by your side if your eldest sister-in-law causes you trouble again. I will also speak well of you in front of our parents.
To be honest, I saw a doctor, and it turns out I'm having a boy. My sister-in-law's baby won't be the only one like that anymore.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xixi couldn't help but laugh.
That's an interesting point.
The implication is that if I don't find you a job, are you going to try to make things difficult for me and Wei Laicheng in front of the old couple?
Are we going to form a united front with Sister-in-law Wei?
"Second sister-in-law, I have a good relationship with the department store manager, but what does that have to do with you?"
Why should I use my personal connections to find you a job? Just because of this so-called boy in your belly?
Forgive me for being blunt, but this isn't my child, so what does it have to do with me?
Or do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't hold grudges? I still remember the time you stabbed me and Laicheng in the back.
Second sister-in-law, no one in this world owes you anything! And you're not the only smart person; sometimes you really shouldn't be so shameless.
Jiang Xixi finally couldn't hold back and blurted out a few swear words that she hadn't said in a long time.
But I have to say, after saying those words and seeing Wei Ersao's face turn from blue to purple, then purple to white, with the color constantly changing, I felt incredibly satisfied.
