This was the first time Cheng Dongkui had been spoken to like this by his mother, and he felt a little uncomfortable.
He puffed out his chest and said, "Who's a little kid? I'm a grown man! I'll show you when I'm older!"
Hearing her son's ambitious words, Song Wenhui couldn't stop smiling. "Good, good, good, Mom is waiting for you to run and show me! Haha, my son is really capable."
When you're old enough to run and jump, I'll have Okra teach you all the ingredients. Then you can run your own business and all the money you earn will be yours.
I'm thinking, once we hire lots and lots of people and cook lots and lots of food, we can make tons and tons of money every day!
Cheng Dongkui said, "My older sister said that every place has its own saturation point. Doing more doesn't necessarily mean earning more!"
If sales in a certain area are saturated, doing more won't help.
Song Wenhui glanced at her son and said, "What do you know? Don't listen to her nonsense. Look at how much she does in a day!"
She doesn't want us to do it because she's afraid we'll sell more and earn more money than her! Girls are all outgoing; none of them side with their own families!
Cheng Dongkui said, "Mom, how can you say that? We live in a new society now, where men and women are equal, and everyone is the same. Besides, you're a woman too!"
Song Wenhui said, "Yes, I'm a girl, and I'm telling you that girls are outgoing and don't think about their parents' families."
See, Mom is on your side! Mom only loves you! From now on, all the money in the house will be left to you!
Okra is capable; once she gets married, she can earn money on her own again.
She had originally planned to save some money for Qiu Kui as well, but Qiu Kui now talks back to her all the time. It turns out that raising a daughter is useless; a son is the best, as he can take care of her in her old age and see her off in death.
Why not leave the money to the son instead of leaving it to someone else?
Cheng Dongkui looked at his mother speechlessly and said, "I won't allow you to talk about my sister like that! If you talk about her like that again, I won't talk to you anymore!"
My sisters have sacrificed so much for the family, are you blind or just plain blind? Can't you see it at all!
The money in the house must include a share for my sisters! If you don't give it to them, I won't take it!
Song Wenhui was so angry that her vision blurred. She said, "How could I have given birth to such a stupid son! It's no good if he doesn't go to school. He has no sense at all!"
Giving it to them is useless; they'll get married sooner or later, and the money they receive will all go to their husbands' families anyway. Wouldn't that just benefit outsiders?
Cheng Dongkui said, "How can it benefit outsiders? Can't they use it themselves? Can't they use that money themselves? I'm tired, I'm going back to my room."
After he finished speaking, he sat down in his wheelchair and stopped moving.
Talking to my mom is exhausting. She's completely clueless, and her stubborn old ideas are impossible to reason with.
Seeing that her son was unwilling to practice, Song Wenhui had no choice but to push his wheelchair back to his room to rest.
As she walked, she pondered that now that her son had his back to her, she could finally stop controlling her facial expressions.
Her brows furrowed. Where did that girl come from? Why did she look so much like Xiao Kui, and why did the girl say she was Chun Kui?
She couldn't understand it at all!
She took her son back to his room, helped him sit on the bed, made up a reason, picked up the vegetable basket, and pretended to go to the cooperative.
Cheng Qiuqiu watched her mother leave with a shopping basket, and she longed to go out and play!
But she had no choice but to sit here and sell her things.
Song Wenhui didn't go to the cooperative; instead, she carried her vegetable basket and sneaked off to Cheng Xiaokui's bar.
Cheng Xiao Kui has already brought Cheng Chun Kui back to the bar.
She brought out all sorts of delicious food from the bar for Cheng Chun Kui to eat.
Perhaps she was too hungry, Cheng Chunqiu wolfed down the food on the table.
She eats everything: grilled sausages, fried chicken frames, flatbread, and braised meat!
Cheng Xiao Kui was worried that Cheng Chun Kui had been hungry for too long and that eating too much oily food would easily cause diarrhea.
She specially made a bowl of egg noodle soup for Cheng Chun Kui.
She brought the noodle soup to her sister and said, "Sister, try my egg noodle soup. It will warm your stomach and make you feel comfortable."
Egg noodle soup is made by sautéing minced ginger, giving it a rich ginger flavor. Ginger is warming and soothing to the stomach, and helps to dispel cold, so it tastes especially comforting.
Perhaps because she had been hungry for too long, Cheng Chunqiu drank the entire large bowl of noodle soup.
She took out the handkerchief Cheng Xiaokui had given her to wipe her mouth and said shyly, "I...I've been hungry for too long, please don't laugh at me. I won't eat so much in the future. Really, I don't waste food."
Cheng Xiaokui said, "Sister, what are you saying? Does the family not even provide you with food? Just eat whatever you want."
You've suffered so much in the countryside, and you're barely any flesh on your bones!
Cheng Chun Kui sighed and said, "They don't give me any food at all. I'm eating worse than a dog!"
After she finished speaking, her eyes reddened, and she wiped away her tears with her hand.
Cheng Qiuqiu put her arm around her sister's thin shoulders and said, "It will never happen again! The past was a nightmare, but now your nightmare is over, and every day from now on will be a good day. Our family is reunited!"
Cheng Chunqiu nodded and said, "Our family will be reunited in the future, but it's a pity that Mom doesn't want to acknowledge me. Maybe she thinks I'm a disgrace."
Cheng Xiao Kui said, "No, she doesn't think we're that great either. Maybe she's just really unsure."
Take your time, there's no rush. Anyway, I think we look so alike, we must be sisters!
Cheng Chun Kui nodded and said, "Yes! We look so alike, we must be sisters."
And your name really is Xia Kui. My memory can't be wrong; these are the only three names I can remember.
Cheng Xiao Kui pulled her sister back to her room and arranged a room for her.
All the bedding was new, and the room was new too.
She told her sister to go to bed early and get some rest, because her sister had been wandering outside for so long and probably hadn't had a single good night's sleep.
Cheng Chun Kui watched as Cheng Xiao Kui closed the door, and she could finally lie comfortably in bed.
A chilling gaze slowly emerged from her seemingly fragile eyes.
Her gaze was extremely sharp, like two knives, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her lips.
Everything went exactly as she had imagined; she stayed by Cheng Xiao Kui's side!
Cheng Xiao Kui told her sister to get some sleep, while she sat in the yard and worked with her aunts and grandmas.
She didn't know what would happen if Song Jingchuan went to see Zhang Weidong today.
As time ticked by, her heart pounded with anxiety.
The longer it dragged on, the more uneasy she felt.
As the sun slowly sets in the west, her little bar reopens.
The aunties and grandmas prepared all kinds of kebabs and fried chicken frames.
There were more guests today than yesterday, and everyone was clamoring for Cheng Xiao Kui to sing.
Cheng Xiao Kui looked at everyone. Among these people were Song Jingchuan and Si Muyang, and even Jiang Bin and Du Ziqiang were not there.
Wu Jianguo walked in with his hands behind his back and said, "What are you looking at? Stop looking! They're not coming! Hehe!"
