[Second brother learning to cook? Tsk...that means one less chance to praise Juanjuan and boost her favor!]
Juanjuan glanced at her two older brothers, then lowered her head, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and nervousness.
Her long-standing family environment had made her feel that her job was to help with household chores.
Now her parents and brothers all seem very capable, and they treat her better than her previous parents.
Juanjuan was actually afraid yet wanted to get closer. She wasn't good at saying nice things, so she could only try to win her parents' favor by using the methods they used to like.
It's a pity that none of them are good at cooking, and she's the only one who can cook her specialty dishes; it seems that's her only value in the family.
She could earn her parents' praise and affection by cooking.
Now, the second brother also wants to learn to cook, and the eldest brother says he also wants to cook for himself.
She was a little scared, afraid that if she became useless, her parents and brothers would stop liking her.
It is precisely because I like it that I am anxious and afraid of losing it.
"Juanjuan! Let's go, let's eat!"
The sledgehammer, which had just been groaning and screaming from being beaten, ran out happily and grabbed Curly's wrist.
He took off running into the house.
Lunch consisted of coarse flour buns, pickled white radish strips, and stir-fried wild vegetables with meat.
Aunt Wang picked up a piece of meat and put it into the rolled-up bowl.
"Juanjuan, eat more. Your second brother will help you cook from now on. You're still young, so eat more to grow taller. Then you can cook for him later."
Aunt Wang is a kind-hearted person. She used to dislike Bai Tian and his wife, but she always felt sorry for the Bai family's children, especially Juanjuan.
Juanjuan, this child, helped them rescue Dachui who was almost kidnapped before the New Year. When she digs wild vegetables, she will secretly ask Dachui to bring some back.
Aunt Wang no longer needs to be caught up in the dilemma of dealing with Juanjuan and her family, who are as awful as dog poop.
Now that Bai Tian and his wife have become more sensible, she no longer has to worry about how to take care of Juanjuan.
"Mom..." Big Hammer's mother was a little unhappy as she put meat on Juanjuan's plate.
Aunt Wang replied, "This meat was given to me by the Bai family."
Big Hammer chimed in, exposing his mother's lie: "Mom, you just said that Juanjuan is too thin and that it's bad for her to eat some meat!"
Big Hammer's mother didn't dare to say anything to her mother-in-law, but she still reached out and lightly tapped Big Hammer: "Shut up and eat!"
Big Hammer: "Oh."
Bai Yunxing looked at his younger sister, who was eating with her head down, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Is it good? I cooked this dish."
Juanjuan stopped chewing, swallowed her food, and looked up at her second brother.
Seeing the expectant look on her second brother's face, she nodded: "Delicious."
"That's fine. I'll cook from now on. You're still too young, so don't cook."
Juanjuan seemed to want to say something, but she nodded instead.
After the meal, the three boys from the Bai family habitually went to help Aunt Wang wash the dishes.
There's no way around it, I've gotten used to staying at home these past few days.
Big Hammer then quietly approached Juanjuan.
"Look, you're unhappy?"
Big Hammer tilted his head, looking up at Curly, his eyes blinking deliberately to show his anticipation.
It's a bit contrived, but effective.
Juanjuan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "A little."
"What's wrong? Who bullied you! Me and..." Big Hammer paused for a moment, then said, "Go beat them up with your brother!"
Recently, Juanjuan's three older brothers seem to be doing quite well, they're presentable now!
Then Wang Dachui will reluctantly take them along to settle scores!
What she couldn't say to her brothers and parents, Juanjuan could say to her good friend Dachui.
She asked, "Do you think... if I stop cooking, will my parents... stop liking me?"
Da Chui, who never did anything at home, stood there stunned.
He looked at the young girl next door in front of him and never imagined that this was the reason for his unhappiness.
Although Da Chui's family wasn't wealthy, and his mother often beat him, Da Chui never worried that his mother would dislike him because he did nothing.
All he knew was that no matter what he did, his mother would love him.
Bai Yun'an, who had been sneaking over to see how Little Hammer from next door was getting close to Juanjuan, also stopped in her tracks.
He looked at Juanjuan, who was still unaware of his approach.
I really didn't expect that Juanjuan would be disliked by everyone because she was afraid of not cooking.
The principle that Da Chui didn't understand, Bai Yun'an did.
[This... seems to fall under the category of a people-pleasing personality, right?]
[That's true. Given how terrible her family was in the past, it's not surprising that Juanjuan has this kind of personality.]
Just as Bai Yun'an finished thinking, he saw that Xiao Juanjuan, who was not far away, had noticed his presence.
She looked at him with shock and fear, seemingly a little shy, then turned and ran away.
Bai Yun'an: ? ? ?
No, what happened to him this time?
He ran away as soon as he saw him. What did he do?
