Chapter 007: Girls are money losers

Mrs. Li obviously didn't want to continue this topic.

She coughed, pretended to be impatient and quickly glanced at her son, and spat, "That's your sweetheart, how can I treat her badly? You must be angry with me..."

Mrs. Li took out the key to open the cupboard while speaking.

"...Besides, you, a grown man, can't eat what she eats during her confinement. There is white flour at home..."

She took out the flour bag with a smile, "Mom will make you a bowl of hand-rolled noodles..."

"No, I just want to eat what my wife has eaten, mom, tell me quickly."

Li Wenfeng leaned against the doorstep of the stove room with his arms folded. Although he smiled on his face, there was no smile in his eyes.

Mrs. Li's heart was beating fast.

But thinking about the second son's wife's temper, which was so hard to deal with, he felt that he was overthinking. He raised his head

and laughed, "You also eat the brown sugar boiled eggs that women eat? Aren't you afraid that others will laugh at you if you tell others about it?"

"I eat."

Li Wenfeng didn't move, just raised his eyelids, "Mom, you make brown sugar boiled eggs for her every time?"

Old lady Li was evasive and snorted.

Li Wenfeng gritted his teeth. Did his mother think he was a child lying? If

she didn't dodge and didn't feel guilty, he would still believe her.

"Light the fire, what are you doing?"

Old lady Li took two eggs, glanced at her son's tall figure, and took two more.

Li Wenfeng saw it and felt inexplicably irritated.

The fire started, and the stove room became even hotter.

Old Lady Li scooped two tablespoons of brown sugar into the pot and asked Li Wenfeng, "Second brother, how much more can you earn if you are promoted to company commander?"

She looked hopeful and her eyes sparkled.

Li Wenfeng shook his head and said he didn't know.

"You'll know when you get promoted."

Old Lady Li smacked her lips with regret, and her hands quickly beat the eggs into the bubbling brown sugar water. The eggs were shaped in the water and the water slowly boiled.

After a while, Old Lady Li called Li Wenfeng, "That's enough, don't add more firewood."

She took the big bowl at home, put the soup and eggs in it, and handed it to Li Wenfeng, "Hurry up and eat."

Li Wenfeng took it and said, "Such a big bowl, you are really willing to spend money."

Old Lady Li smiled.

Li Wenfeng suddenly changed the subject, "How come my wife's face is still as white as snow even though she eats so much? The boy is also skinny, mom, what's going on?"

Mrs. Li's smile froze on her face.

After a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "How should I know?"

She was determined not to tell him.

Li Wenfeng looked at Mrs. Li expressionlessly. It would be a lie to say that he was not disappointed.

He turned around and walked out of the stove room with the bowl and returned to the second room.

The youngest daughter was asleep, and the eldest and second daughters were doing their homework at the square table. When they saw him carrying the boiled eggs in brown sugar water, their eyes were full of joy.

"Your grandma beat four eggs. You can have one each, and the remaining two are for your mom." Li Wenfeng smiled.

The twins shook their heads, "Mom hasn't eaten since my little sister was born. Give it to mom, we won't eat it."

"Okay, then wait a minute, Dad will roll the noodles and we'll eat them."

The children were sensible, Li Wenfeng smiled, but his nose felt a little sour.

The sisters' eyes lit up instantly, and they nodded repeatedly at Li Wenfeng.

Li Wenfeng brought the bowl to the bedside and handed the chopsticks to Fan Qingyi, "The bowl is heavy, I'll hold it, you eat."

[My mom is too much! I have to go back to the army in two days, and this won't work. I'll go around the village later, buy some eggs from every family, give them a few cents, and ask them to cook them every day and bring them to Yiyi. ]

Fan Qingyi listened to her husband's voice, looked at his gentle and caring eyes, and her eyes instantly turned red.

Just as he sighed, before he could even touch the chopsticks, Old Lady Li came after him.

"What is she eating? Second son! That's what mom made for you. Look how thin you are..."

Li Wenfeng glanced at her, "I suddenly don't want to eat anymore. I want to eat sauerkraut noodles. Boil the noodles, rinse them twice with well water, and sprinkle them with cool sauerkraut."

Old Lady Li was holding her breath in her chest.

She glared at him angrily, "Why didn't you tell me that you were eating sauerkraut noodles? I wasted four eggs!"

"Waste? Didn't you tell me that you usually feed my wife like this?" Li Wenfeng looked over.

Old Lady Li, "..."

She held her breath in her chest again. If she didn't let it out, she would feel like dying. If she let her son know the truth, he would definitely destroy the family.

"She's tired of eating, right, second son's wife?"

After thinking about it, Old Lady Li set her sights on Fan Qingyi. She glared at Fan Qingyi and warned her not to eat.

[Little whore, you're dead if you dare to eat it.]

Li Wenfeng saw her mother's frown, lowered her head expressionlessly, picked up a poached egg with chopsticks, blew it cool and put it to Fan Qingyi's mouth, "Wife, don't be disgusted, you have to eat it even if you're tired of eating."

[I let Yiyi eat it, my mother can't blame Yiyi, right?]

Old Lady Li, "..."

Does this brat want to piss her off to death?

Isn't it!

Fan Qingyi raised her eyes and quickly glanced at Old Lady Li, then she made up her mind and swallowed the poached egg in one gulp with her eyes closed.

Old Lady Li widened her eyes and her breathing became heavy with anger.

Little whore, you dare to eat her eggs!

She is so bold!

When the second son leaves, I will tear her mouth to pieces!

Li Wenfeng saw this from the corner

of his eye and turned around to call her mom. Before the old lady Li could retract her murderous gaze, she was caught.

The mother and son looked at each other.

"Mom, what is that look? My wife can't eat this egg?"

Li Wenfeng's face turned cold, "I work hard outside to make money so that my family can live a good life. An egg costs 1.5 cents. Even if she eats twelve eggs a day, it will only be fifty yuan a month!"

"Mom, I bring home one thousand yuan every year. If not two hundred, at least one hundred should be spent on my wife and children, right?"

He stared at the old lady Li with a guilty look, "Mom, didn't we agree on this?"

[Mom, you disappoint me so much. With so much money, you should at least give some to my wife...]

"Second son..."

Old lady Li swallowed her saliva and forced a smile, "Mom just feels bad. I didn't say not to let her eat..."

[I want her to say no! It's a waste to let her eat.]

"Mom just glared at me because you wanted me to say no on my own initiative." Fan Qingyi lowered his head and told the truth.

Old lady Li's heart skipped a beat, "What nonsense are you talking about, you bastard!" As

soon as she said that, she knew she was wrong.

Li Wenfeng looked at her with a smile, "Mom, what did you call my wife?"

"I... I slipped my tongue."

Old lady Li glared at Fan Qingyi angrily, and then turned back to settle accounts with this little bastard.

"Mom, you are so angry because my wife is right, right?"

Li Wenfeng looked at her, "You told me that you gave my wife four poached eggs every night, but it was also false, right?"

Old lady Li's chest was even more blocked.

Of course, she didn't think her son was wrong, she thought it was all Fan Qingyi's fault!

Fan Qingyi shouldn't have eaten the brown sugar poached eggs she cooked for her son. If Fan Qingyi had actively refused, her son wouldn't be angry with her.

He wouldn't doubt what she said in the stove room.

Old lady Li was angry and upset, staring at Fan Qingyi and wanted to get angry.

Suddenly, Li Wenfeng said from the side, "Mom, are you tacitly agreeing?"

Old lady Li, "..."

The second child was really bewitched by this vixen!

She felt that the second child's words in the kitchen had hidden meanings, and it turned out that he was waiting for her here!

She was so angry that her chest hurt, and her head was hot and she blurted out, "Who told her to be uncooperative, giving birth to two girls in one pregnancy, and another girl again? Girls are money-losing goods, and they will belong to other families in the future. There are so many boys in the family to raise, and I didn't starve them to death..."
