Xu Ying chuckled, and when she saw Xu Jing in the yard, she ran out with a smile: "Sister, I missed you."
"Missed me?" Xu Jing was shocked. She looked Xu Ying up and down, and said with disdain: "You are a little abnormal today."
"What's wrong?" Xu Ying asked, blinking her eyes.
Xu Jing said unhappily, "Your abnormality means you have become normal again. Humph! I thought you only had Dong Zhiqing in your eyes."
"No." Xu Ying's expression suddenly became serious, and he looked at her seriously and said.
Xu Jing burst out laughing and said, "If you don't know, then don't know. Why are you so serious?"
Xu Ying saw her smile and started laughing too.
Seeing her cousin now in high spirits, Xu Ying clenched her fists. She wanted to take control of her destiny in this life and never allow anyone else to hurt her family again.
"Grandma, hurry up and try the chicken soup I made to see if it tastes good." Xu Ying urged.
When Old Lady Xu heard that it was her granddaughter who made it, there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and she stood up with her cane: "It smells good, but I don't know how it tastes."
"Mom, please try it. Yingying's chicken soup is amazing. It's even better than the one in the state-owned restaurant in our town!" Chen Xiuhua licked the corner of her lips and looked like she was still unsatisfied.
"Let me try it." Old Mrs. Xu picked up the bowl she handed to her and took a sip. Her eyes lit up instantly.
【Good Perception +1. 】
When Xu Ying heard the voice, she felt happy: "Grandpa, Second Uncle, you guys should drink quickly, sister-in-law, you should drink too..."
At her urging, Chen Xiuhua served each person a bowl of chicken soup.
【Good perception +1, +1, +1. 】
Listening to the system's notification tone, Xu Ying was so happy that she couldn't suppress her heartbeat, and her whole body exuded a beaming joy.
"System, what's the favorability value?" Xu Ying asked curiously.
[The host's favorability value is now thirty-three. ]
Yes!
I am only seventeen points away from unlocking a new recipe. If I had known this, I would have ordered the rest of the dishes.
By the way, there is also my third uncle’s house.
If Xu Ying were to use one word to describe Uncle Xu, the first word that came to her mind would be second-rate guy.
Her third uncle didn't work properly. He liked to be lazy all day long and run around the streets. He didn't act like a husband or a father.
Fortunately, her third aunt was a woman who could endure hardships, otherwise the children in the family would suffer.
Xu Yingfei ran back home: "Mom, are there many dishes at home? Send some to my third aunt's house."
"What's there to send? It's a waste if you send it. I've never seen your uncle be so unreasonable.
Xu Jianguo, you said you were all born of the same mother, but you and your second brother only know how to live, but why is the third brother so stupid?" Xu's mother said angrily.
Xu Jianguo smiled awkwardly: "The third child was born with that temper, there's nothing I can do about it."
Xu's mother looked reluctant, but she still gave Xu Ying a small bowl of each dish: "Give it to your third aunt, don't give it to your third uncle."
Aunt Xu is also a pitiful woman! "Okay, mom, don't wait for me. I'll be back from Aunt Xu's house later. You guys eat first." Xu Ying took the basket with a smile and ran out.
After she left, Xu's mother murmured in confusion, "What's so good about staying in that shabby place?"
Uncle Xu's third uncle lives a little far away, next to the mountain at the end of the village.
At first, Xu's father had no good feelings towards this disappointing son. He thought out of sight, out of mind, and simply kept him away.
"Aunt San, Aunt San, it's me Yingying." Xu Ying knocked on the door vigorously.
"Aunt San, my mother asked me to bring you some food." Xu Ying took the little girl's dark hand and walked into the yard.
Aunt Xu rushed out of the kitchen when she heard the sound, with a hint of surprise on her weather-beaten and honest face: "Yingying, are you okay?
I was thinking of taking time to visit you, but I haven't had the time. The house is a bit messy, so you sit down first."
"Aunt San, where is my uncle San!" Xu Ying felt a little distressed when she looked at her. This aunt had been very kind to her in her previous life and had advised her not to be with Dong Zhiqing before.
At that time, she was disobedient and even sarcastic to her Third Aunt, despising her for not being able to control her Third Uncle and for daring to control her. Thinking about it now, she really wants to slap herself a few times.
"Your uncle is in the room. I'll go call him out." Aunt Xu wiped the dust off her hands and was about to go into the house.
Xu Ying stopped her directly: "Aunt San, don't cook, just cook a simple staple food, I'll eat at your house."
Aunt Xu was stunned, and said somewhat flattered: "Okay, then I'll go cook."
After entering the house, Aunt Xu San still looked incredulous. This girl had always disliked her, so why did she change her temper today? No matter why, she felt a little excited.
After looking at the flour in the kitchen, Aunt Xu scooped an extra spoonful and cooked a pot of thick multi-grain porridge.
"Jianshe, it's time to eat." As soon as Aunt Xu finished speaking, Uncle Xu ran out with his pipe in his mouth.
"Yingying, why are you here too? Oh, it's such a good day today. How come there is chicken to eat?" Xu Jianshe glanced at Xu Ying, turned his head to look at the food on the table and swallowed.
He didn't even wash his hands, just picked up the chopsticks and started to pick up the chicken on the table.
Before he could pick up the chicken with his chopsticks, Xu Ying slapped his hand with one hand.
"Hey, Yingying, why did you hit me?" Xu Jianshe looked puzzled, staring at the small bowl of chicken soup on the table. He was so greedy.
He wanted to get angry, but the person standing there was his eldest brother's most beloved daughter. If he dared to attack Yingying, his eldest brother, his second brother and his father would definitely beat him together.
"There's no share for you. How can a grown man have the nerve to sleep in at home every day and fail to support his own children and wife? You have no shame at all." Xu Ying looked at Xu Jianshe with an indifferent expression.
Then he changed the subject and said, "Aunt San, why don't you remarry?"
Aunt Xu was shocked when these words came out, and Xu Jianshe was even more angry: "Yingying, what are you doing? People say that it is better to demolish ten temples than to get married.
I am your uncle, what do you mean by persuading your three gods to divorce me?"
"Uncle San, tell me which family is like yours, letting the wife go to work while the man rests at home.
Since you can't treat my Third Aunt and Lanlan well, you might as well get a divorce sooner.
Let others treat them well, so that they can suffer less grievances. I think this is a good idea. I will discuss it with my father and grandfather when I get home."
Xu Jianshe suddenly became anxious: "You can't go and tell them."
"You don't have to tell me anything, but you have to go to the fields to work." Xu Ying threatened.
Xu Jianshe's face was twisted with anger. What the hell was this girl doing? Why did she care about him for no reason?
Xu Ying didn't know what he was thinking. She didn't bother to care about her third uncle, but in his previous life, his third uncle didn't learn his lesson and secretly learned how to gamble, and ended up owing a huge sum of money.
In order to pay back the debt, her third uncle secretly sold the house and children. That was not enough, so he also sold her grandfather's house.
Her grandfather was already very old and just hoped that his children and grandchildren would be well. However, her third uncle gambled away all the family property and left the old man without a place to settle down.
So no matter what in this life, she would stop her third uncle from going down the old path.
If he had gone to work, he wouldn't have been idle and wandering around, and run into those people who took him to gamble.
"Go to the fields and work!" Xu Jianshe avoided my gaze, obviously unwilling.
