Chapter 18 Don’t you like to eat?



It was getting dark when the villagers started to leave work one after another.

Jiang Yuman took the food out of the space and put it away. Soon, the Fu family came back.

Needless to say, her cooking skills are excellent. Both dishes were delicious, and the whole family enjoyed them very much, accompanied by cornmeal buns.

Even Fu Wangshan secretly sighed in his heart that his daughter-in-law's performance today made him look at her with new eyes.

The food here is not much worse than what they had in the capital before.

Fu Haitang, who was tired after a day of work, ate such delicious food. He secretly raised his eyes to glance at Jiang Yuman who was sitting opposite him, and the prejudice in his heart slowly disappeared.

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

But before he could open his mouth, a heart-wrenching cry came from their door:

"I don't want to eat this disgusting bread. I don't want to eat it. I want to eat meat--"

The boy's cry was so sharp and loud that it made people feel irritated unconsciously.

Zhou Yun's voice followed, "Where is the meat for you to eat? Hurry up and get up!"

"I don't want it, I don't want it!" The boy rolled over at the door, crying and making a fuss: "Mom, I smell meat in it, go ask them for it!"

There was a lot of commotion between the mother and son, during which the boy banged on his father-in-law's door several times.

This door is not strong to begin with. If it happens a few more times, it might be broken.

With a "pop" sound, Jiang Yuman put down her chopsticks, opened the door, and looked coldly at the little boy covered in dust who was rolling in front of her door.

"If you want to eat meat, just ask your mom to go home and make it for you. Why are you banging on my door?"

This child was raised by Zhou Yun's family without any manners. He made a lot of noise on the train and was no different from the annoying naughty kids in later generations.

It would be strange if Jiang Yuman liked him.

Zhou Yun's face fell immediately, "My Tianci is ignorant, why are you so fierce?"

As she spoke, she glanced behind Jiang Yuman, as if she wanted to see what they were eating.

Jiang Yuman saw her intention and took a step towards the direction of her sight to block it.

Here, Yang Tianci heard his mother defending him, his eyes rolled, and he rushed into the house like a little cannonball.

When he saw the leftover ribs on the table, his eyes lit up and he reached out to grab them.

But before he succeeded, Fu Jingchen grabbed him and dragged him out of the house.

When he saw that the chops he had picked up were gone, he started crying and making a fuss, and fell to the ground like a limp noodle.

"There are ribs in it, my ribs! Mom, I want to eat ribs!"

She cried and played, and the noise was so loud that it woke up everyone else at the educated youth center.

"What's going on? Why is the child crying so hard?"

"That's Sister Zhou's son, right? Why is he lying in front of the Fu family's door crying so miserably?"

"He said he wanted to eat spare ribs. Oh, it will take a long time for the brigade to distribute the meat. It's really hard for the child..."

The educated youth were talking about it.

"What are you doing!" Seeing her son being brought up, Zhou Yun jumped up like a tigress protecting her cubs:

"How can you bully others like this? You can even do that to such a young child!"

As she spoke, she hugged Yang Tianci with heartache.

Yang Tianci kept crying in his mother's arms, as if he knew someone was supporting him. The more she coaxed him, the harder he cried.

"What's going on?" Other educated youths came forward one after another. "If you have anything to say, please speak up. Don't bully the children."

"Yes, our Tianci is so young and doesn't understand things. Why should you be so harsh on such a young child?" Zhou Yun felt more confident when she saw so many people gathered here.

Yang Tianci's thunder was loud but his raindrops were small; from Jiang Yuman's perspective, he was just howling with his mouth open, without even a scratch on his eyelashes.

Mrs. Cai, who came out in a hurry, became angry when she saw her grandson crying so hard:

"You are such a heartless family. You bully my grandson. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

Fu Haitang raised her eyebrows, put her hands on her waist and said, "If there is any retribution, it should be you, an old woman. Our family has done nothing wrong!"

Mrs. Cai was furious at her words, but looking at the family behind her, she didn't dare to do anything.

As for Zhou Yun's man, he could only stand aside, rubbing his hands, not daring to speak.

At this time, Jiang Yuman looked around and said:

"Everyone, please be fair. My family and I were eating together in the house, but their children were crying and howling at the door of my house, asking for meat."

"I came out and asked her to cook some meat for the child, and the child rushed into my house. My husband brought him out and he acted like this. Who is wrong?"

She had good reasons and was calm, and many people heard the voices of Zhou Yun and her son just now.

Suddenly many people believed it.

"Sister Zhou, you are wrong in this matter. It's your own child and you should take care of him/her. No one else did anything." Someone said something impartial.

"My kid was craving meat and smelled meat in their house, so I just wanted to go in and take a look, but I was brought up like this. The kid was scared, so who should I turn to?"

Turning around, Zhou Yun spit on the man's face.

The people watching nearby suddenly shut up.

Zhou Yun thought of what her son had just said, and she felt so angry that her teeth were itching.

He said they had spare ribs at home, so the smell of meat at noon today must have been left by this family.

They were all a family that went to the countryside to reform together, so why was it that they had delicious food and spareribs to eat, while we could only eat sorghum cakes that made our throats sore?

She felt quite unbalanced!

Meaty?

After hearing what 㳔 said, the educated youth looked at each other and swallowed their saliva.

They hadn't tasted meat for a long time, and this whole family actually had meat to eat?

"I have meat at home. My family members felt sorry for me because I was pregnant, so they brought it from the city."

"Your family also came from the city, why didn't you bring your own? Don't you like it?"

Jiang Yuman spoke in a cold tone. She felt so disgusted that she even wasted her breath talking to a prince's mother like this!
