Chapter 26 The Banquet Is Not a Good Banquet
Shen Qin knows how to use the stove, but the weather is too hot and he doesn't want to sweat and feel uncomfortable.
So I called Chen Baomei again.
When Chen Baomei saw that it was Shen Qin calling, she guessed that he was trying to give her something to do again, so she was annoyed and hung up.
Unexpectedly, one call didn't go through, so Shen Qin continued to call.
Chen Baomei's cell phone rang so loudly that it made a group of pigs buzz and squeal.
If Chen Baomei wasn't afraid of not being able to answer calls from customers, she would have wanted to turn off her phone.
She clicked the answer button, and Shen Qin's impatient voice came from the receiver, "Mom, why don't you answer the phone!"
"What's going on? Can you please tell me everything at once? You're asking for my life, and you keep treating me like I'm just as relaxed as you guys?"
Shen Qin didn't expect that his mother was even more angry than him, which made it difficult for him to bring up the topic of cooking.
"Tell me, what's going on?"
"If you don't say it, I will." Wu Wenwan took the phone from him.
"Old lady, it's me. Why didn't you cook lunch for us? Huihui and Jiaojiao are starving, and I don't know how to use the stove. Please come back and help them cook."
Well, the daughter-in-law is even ordering her mother-in-law around.
In the past, she was cowardly and tolerant, and Wu Wenwan did not respect her. For the sake of Shen Qin's family harmony, she chose to tolerate her unconditionally.
In my previous life, I endured it again and again, and finally I got sick from it.
Now she can't bear it anymore, and she doesn't want to bear it anymore.
"Are you here to keep me company or to cause me trouble? Are you here to be my grandchildren or my ancestors? Please understand clearly that I have no obligation to serve you! Wu Hui and Shen Jiao are hungry. Are your parents broken or dead? Can't adults with healthy hands and feet do it themselves? And you still have to wait for me, an old woman with half a body buried in the ground, to serve you like a nanny?"
"I'm so busy all day. After taking care of the pigs, I have to rush back to take care of you. The pigs can sell me for money, but what can you give me? You make me angry."
"If you can't do without me, then please go back. I don't need anyone to accompany me, old lady!"
After Chen Baomei finished her words, she decisively hung up the phone.
Wu Wenwan stood there in a daze, her mouth gaping. When she came to her senses, she was shaking with anger.
"Your mother, how dare your mother speak to me like that!"
Wu Wenwan was playing the radio, and Shen Qin and the two children could also hear it.
In front of the children, Shen Qin didn't want to say anything wrong about anyone.
"That's fine. If Mom doesn't want to cook, forget it. She's already tired enough, and it really doesn't make sense for her to come back in the scorching sun to cook for us."
"You guys wait at home. I'll go to the village entrance to see if there's anything to eat. I'll buy some to eat and wait until mom comes back in the evening."
Wu Wenwan really wanted to leave.
But when she thought of the tens of thousands of tuition fees that had no where to go, she forced herself to endure it.
There weren't many things to eat at the village entrance, but we managed to get by.
Shen Qin had to go to work tomorrow, so he went back first.
Wu Wenwan and her two children thought that Chen Baomei would come back after finishing her work. They were not in the mood to clean the room or cook. They just sat there waiting for Chen Baomei to come back.
As the sun set and the sky grew dark, and Chen Baomei still hadn't returned, Wu Wenwan became a little anxious.
Having just been scolded by Chen Baomei, she didn't want to contact Chen Baomei actively, so she asked Shen Qin to contact her.
Shen Qin called, "Mom, why haven't you come home yet? Wen Wan and the children are waiting for you at home."
Wait for her? Wait for her to come back and serve them like a nanny.
It has to be said that Chen Baomei knew Wu Wenwan, the so-called daughter-in-law of a wealthy family, very well.
"I'm very busy and have been living on the pig farm recently. If they really miss me, they can come to the pig farm and stay with me."
As long as they don't mind the smell.
But it was impossible for them not to dislike her. Normally, those two brats would not even get close to her, let alone a smelly pig farm.
Now that the weather is even hotter, the stench is several times stronger than usual.
Chen Baomei was sure that they would never come to the pig farm.
Shen Qin: “…”
When Wu Wenwan knew that Chen Baomei would not come back, her world fell.
"So what do we do now?!"
She can clean the room herself, but she really can't use the stove.
Shen Qin took a deep breath and said, "Since Mom is busy, I'll come and pick you up now."
Now that Chen Baomei is not here, there is no point in staying here.
Wu Wenwan could only agree with frustration.
After a whole day of wasted time and feeling very angry, the mother and her two children could only wait dejectedly for Shen Qin to come and pick them up.
Chen Baomei originally thought that Wu Wenwan had given up on her cash cow, but she didn't expect that not only did she not stop thinking about it, but she also started to play a direct game with Chen Baomei.
She specially arranged a plan and asked Shen Qin to pick her up and take her to the city for dinner.
It just so happened that the signed agreement had been mailed back to her, and Shen Ru had said she would send it back to the village someday. Thinking that Shen Ru didn't have a car, it would be troublesome to run back and forth, and that Shen Qin's car pick-up and drop-off would be much more convenient, she decided to go there herself, and by the way, put an end to Shen Qin and his wife's idea of taking money from her.
After getting the agreement signed by Shen Yin, Shen Qin took Chen Baomei to the booked hotel.
In order to make it easier to talk, Wu Wenwan specially booked a private room.
When Chen Baomei arrived, Wu Wenwan and her two children were already in the box.
Wu Wenwan reminded the two children to call for help. Wu Hui and Shen Jiao reluctantly called out "Grandma", then frowned and moved away from Chen Baomei.
Their attitude was very indifferent, and Chen Baomei didn't look at them in a good mood, but just said "hmm" coldly.
Wu Wenwan smiled and tried to smooth things over, "Huihui and Jiaojiao haven't seen grandma for a long time, they feel a bit estranged."
That’s right. If counting from the previous life, Chen Baomei hasn’t seen these two people for several years.
Since Chen Baomei moved into the rental house in her previous life, these two grandchildren have never visited her.
Speaking of her previous life, an important thing suddenly flashed through Chen Baomei's mind, so fast that she couldn't catch it.
"Grandma, please take a seat. I didn't see grandma the last time I went back to the village. Huihui and Jiaojiao took a day off from their special skills class today just to come and have a meal with their grandma."
Chen Baomei's thoughts were interrupted by her, and she couldn't remember what the important thing that just flashed through her mind was.
Seeing that Chen Baomei didn't respond, Wu Wenwan almost lost the smile on her face.
Shen Qin said, "Mom, Wen Wan ordered a few dishes. See if you want to add anything."
"No need, just you guys decide."
"Then let the kitchen prepare the food."
The dishes were served one by one, and the family of five ate in silence.
Halfway through the meal, Wu Wenwan raised her glass to toast Chen Baomei.
Chen Baomei had a hangover experience once, and now she never touches that stuff again.
"You drink it yourself, I can't drink it."
Wu Wenwan put down the cup awkwardly.
After laying the groundwork for so long, Wu Wenwan forced herself to cheer up and get down to business.
"Old lady, you know, although Shen Qin and I have respectable jobs, our income isn't that high. Huihui and Jiaojiao's tuition is about to start, and we simply can't come up with that much money. Could you please support us a little? Consider it a loan from you, and we'll pay you back when we have money."
