"Chestnut braised chicken, how can you nourish your body if you only eat chestnuts without chicken?" Jiang Xue glanced at the chestnuts on the ground with disdain.
To deal with snobbish people, you have to be even more snobbish than them.
Seeing Xie Chunmei and Jiang Chunsheng standing there with resentful expressions, Jiang Xue didn't even want to look at them anymore.
"You guys go back, I have things to do." Jiang Xue didn't even bother with the polite words of asking them to sit down, and directly took Shao Heng, who was covered in dirt from playing, and went back into the house.
Jiang Xue busied herself fetching water to wipe Shao Heng's hands and help him change his clothes.
Xie Chunmei and Jiang Chunsheng stood at the door, staring intently at Jiang Xue.
"It's nothing, didn't I say you can go back?" Jiang Xue said, sounding extremely impatient.
But those two people were incredibly shameless.
"Didn't you hurt your leg? I'll cook dinner tonight so you can try Mom's cooking."
Jiang Xue frowned. "Get out of here. I don't need anyone to cook for me. I can cook for myself."
"You stubborn girl, you're always so argumentative. No one's cooking is as good as Mom's."
Jiang Xue felt uncomfortable all over; she really knew how to flatter herself.
But Jiang Xue was too lazy to waste her breath on such a person who couldn't be driven away or persuaded. Since he was so eager to curry favor, why not just enjoy it?
Jiang Xue knew the two men had come premeditatedly. They were the type who wouldn't come without a reason; their sudden visit meant they wanted money, and there was no other explanation.
She ignored both of them, moved a small stool, and sat in the yard to remove loose threads from the curtains she had just finished making.
"Can I do this kind of work? My back and legs ache whenever I work in the fields. It's all because of giving birth to you that I have these chronic illnesses." Xie Chunmei said as she snatched the scissors and thread from Jiang Xue's hand.
"Okay, you can do it, but there will be no pay."
"Oh, we're family, why should we ask for wages? We'll help if we can."
Jiang Chunsheng was also there with scissors, helping Xie Chunmei trim the loose threads.
Jiang Xue was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. It seemed these two had been holding back for a long time; they didn't even care about such a small amount of money.
"You do this work, I'll go cook." Xie Chunmei skillfully assigned tasks to Jiang Chunsheng.
Jiang Xue was exasperated. "If you want to burn something, go home and burn it. Don't mess around here. And I can't possibly grant you anything you want. Don't even think about taking a single hair from here."
Upon hearing Jiang Xue's words, Jiang Chunsheng's expression changed drastically.
He slammed the curtains he was holding onto the ground. "You worthless brat, what are you saying? We gave birth to you and raised you. If you're not filial to us, may you be struck by lightning!"
Jiang Xue looked at the two of them with disgust, her chest aching with anger. "Get out of here if you want, and stop talking nonsense."
"Get out?" Xie Chunmei's face turned completely black, and her unsettling gaze swept over Jiang Xue.
“Yes, get out.” Jiang Xue’s eyes were firm as she pointed to the yard with the bamboo fence, signaling the two people to get out.
"We're all family, what grudge can last overnight? You're flesh and blood of my flesh. No matter how unfilial you are, we parents will do our best." Xie Chunmei's face was filled with a fake smile.
Jiang Xue felt nauseous watching them. They really were masters of PUA. The shamelessness of the two people kept refreshing Jiang Xue's understanding of the world.
"Honey, really, our daughter is just not feeling well. If she swears a little, just let her swear. Parents always have the same heart. As long as she's doing well, we'd be willing to die for her."
