Chapter 13: Don’t eat anything!
Chen Dani's face was full of excitement. That was great. It was going to be exciting.
"What are you doing? Put it down! I told you to put it down!" Wang chased Liang Jinyu out.
Liang Jinyu brought a large bowl of meat and placed it on the table, saying to everyone, "The dishes are ready, let's eat."
Chen Dani immediately stood up and quickly put a few pieces of meat into the bowl. When she picked up her chopsticks, Wang slapped her hand.
"You only know how to enjoy the food but are lazy about doing it. Meat and vegetables are for men. It's a waste for you to eat them since you don't do any work." Wang scolded, and made a gesture to take away the vegetable bowl.
Liang Jinyu grabbed the other side of the bowl and said quietly, "According to what mother said, Dingfang is also a man, why don't you let him eat?"
"How old is he? How can he be the same? Besides, his surname is not Chen. It's good that he has a stutter, but he still wants to eat meat? You're dreaming!" Wang sneered and pulled him into her arms.
Liang Jinyu sneered in her heart and simply pushed the bowl into her arms.
With a "bang", the whole bowl of radish stewed with meat spilled onto the ground, and the fragrant pieces of meat rolled all over the ground.
Not to mention Wang, even Old Man Chen couldn't sit still anymore. He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He stood up and kicked Wang: "You just keep quarreling all day long. I really want to sew your mouth shut. Now you can't eat anymore. Are you satisfied?"
Wang was kicked so hard that she could hardly stand. She was angry and unwilling to accept it: "It was all this little whore's fault. Why did you hit me? I was just saving some food for you two for the sake of this family. But you, on the other hand, just protected this vixen!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I think you have a problem with your brain! I don't want to eat anymore. Just looking at you makes me sick!" Old man Chen put down his chopsticks and left the table angrily.
Wang was so angry that she added fuel to the fire when she saw Liang Jinyu sitting down to eat as if nothing had happened.
"How dare you eat? You've ruined such a big bowl of meat! Boss, you're dumb. Did you marry your ancestors? Can you be more promising?" Wang poked Chen Lai Fu's head hard.
Chen Laifu looked at Liang Jinyu with a sad face and said conciliatoryly: "Jinyu, we are all family, please apologize to your mother."
Liang Jinyu turned a deaf ear and ate her meal with big mouthfuls, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Chen Lai Fu was filled with dissatisfaction, but he did not dare to show it, so he could only stand up and apologize to Wang himself.
Wang pointed at Chen Lai Fu's nose and scolded him for being useless and unable to even control his own wife, saying that he was not a man.
Chen Lai Fu lowered his head timidly, not daring to refute.
"Well, whoever sees it gets a share."
Chen Dani shared a piece of the roast pork in her bowl with Liang Jinyu and Liang Dingfang.
Liang Jinyu was a little surprised and happened to hear what Dani was thinking.
[Be nice to him now, I hope he will spare my life after he turns evil.]
So that's how it is. Liang Jinyu laughed.
"Sister, this is for you." Liang Dingfang was reluctant to eat it and wanted to give it to Liang Jinyu.
Liang Jinyu shook her head: "Eat it, don't let Dani down."
"That's right, you must remember my kindness." Chen Dani nodded repeatedly.
After hearing this, Liang Dingfang felt relieved and ate the meat.
Looking at Dani who was cautiously trying to get close to Ding Fang, Liang Jinyu made up her mind.
No matter who Dani is now or what her identity is, she will take her away from the Chen family.
The Chen family is a cannibalistic place. If she stays here, something bad will happen to her sooner or later.
In the end, they didn't want to waste the delicious meat on the ground, so they picked it up and washed it, but it was a pity to waste the pot of meat soup.
...
Night, in the room.
Liang Jinyu was making the bed when she heard footsteps behind her and turned around.
Chen Lai Fu closed the door with his back to it. When Liang Jinyu looked at him, he immediately lowered his head and walked to the other side of the curtain.
Liang Jinyu thought for a moment and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I have caused you trouble. I was angry at the time, so I couldn't help it..."
On the other side of the curtain, Chen Laifu's eyes were gloomy, his hands tightly grasping the quilt, but what he said was: "It was me who made Miss Liang feel wronged. Don't worry, my mother is a kind person, and everything will be fine tomorrow."
Liang Jinyu sighed: "I really feel bad. I'd better leave. I still have no hope for my household registration."
Chen Laifu heard this and said hurriedly: "It's only been a month since the birth, don't worry, I'll go find Li Zheng and urge him when I'm free. It's winter now, it's not safe outside."
"Well, that's true." Liang Jinyu compromised.
"By the way, I bought you the needle and thread that the girl wanted. Take a look." Chen Lai Fu hurriedly took out the needle and thread from the basket on his back.
It was dim in the room, so I couldn't see the color of the thread. I just felt it was very rough in my hand.
It seemed that even if she embroidered it, she wouldn't be able to sell it for a high price. But she didn't expect to make money from selling embroidery.
"I'm sorry to make you spend money again, but I won't take it for free. How much is this?" Liang Jinyu asked.
"Not much. I bought it for you voluntarily. As long as you are happy, that's all."
"How can that be? How about this? You can deduct the money from Ding Fang's salary."
Ding Fang had worked with Chen Lai Fu for so long that his wages were enough to buy these cheap silk threads.
Chen Lai Fu's body froze as he realized that Liang Dingfang had told Liang Jinyu about the wages. He felt resentful that the brat actually went so far as to complain.
"By the way, I heard from Dingfang that you won't be back for the next three days?" Liang Jinyu asked again.
Chen Laifu suppressed his emotions and said patiently, "The boss is short of staff, and I want to make more money before the New Year, so that you can have a prosperous New Year."
"Thank you for your hard work." Liang Jinyu said considerately.
Chen Lai Fu looked at the beautiful figure swaying on the curtain. He felt as if an ant was crawling in his heart, itching, and his body was unconsciously hot.
He swallowed hard, and impatiently reached into his crotch and rubbed it...
The next day.
As usual, Chen Lai Fu and Liang Ding Fang set out for the city before dawn.
After Liang Jinyu had cleaned up everything inside and out, Old Man Chen and Wang got up.
Wang had a long face, and it was obvious that she was not in a good mood today.
"The Wang family needs a horse-drawn carriage today. Eldest wife, please make me two more cakes and bring me some meat." Old man Chen shouted towards the kitchen while wiping his whip in the yard.
Liang Jinyu responded and rolled up the leftover pancakes from the morning with yesterday's meat, then wrapped it with cabbage leaves.
Old man Chen worked as a groom for a family named Zhou in the city. He didn't have much work to do, and the master would only ask him to go on a long journey, but basically each trip took two or three days.
Although he was just a groom, the Zhou family was a wealthy family and they paid him well. They also provided him with wine and cakes during festivals, so it was considered a good job.
However, old man Chen is old and will not be able to work for many more years, so he has always been thinking of letting Chen Lai Fu take over his job.
But for some reason, Old Man Chen mentioned it to the Zhou family several times, but they didn't agree.
"Is it ready? Lao Deng is urging us to finish it." Dani ran into the kitchen and asked.
Liang Jinyu handed her the basket and said angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, or you'll get whipped."
Chen Dani didn't care: "It's okay, he can't hear it."
Not long after Old Man Chen left home, Wang also went out with a basket. No one knew what was in the basket, but it was bulging and covered with a blue cloth.
