Chapter 19 She Coaxed the Fourth Sister Again
Chen Chengcai held the snack in his hand and handed it to Zhou Cuihua: "Mom, try it quickly. Is it delicious?"
"Hey." Zhou Cuihua smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits. She reached out to take the snack and took a bite.
"Oh, it's so delicious! This is a mung bean cake, right? There's stuffing inside? Mom has never eaten it before. Chengcai is really filial!"
"Mom, try the candied fruit, it's delicious too." Chen Chengcai said.
"Hey, mom, try it." Zhou Cuihua said, picking up one and throwing it into her mouth.
Chen Xiaojuan stood by and rolled her eyes at the loving mother and filial son in front of her.
But she said nothing and turned and went into the house.
After a while, the wooden door of her small room was kicked open from the outside.
Chen Xiaojuan was so frightened that she trembled. When she looked up, she saw Chen Chengcai's angry face.
"What are you doing? Why don't you knock before entering my room?!" Chen Xiaojuan was also very angry. She had just thought that Zhou Cuihua was looking for trouble with her again.
"What did I do? No wonder mother said that girls are a waste of money!" Chen Chengcai angrily threw a pile of dirty clothes on Chen Xiaojuan's face. Those were the clothes he had just changed.
"Have you finished washing the clothes? Mom is busy all day and night, and you still throw the work to her!"
Chen Xiaojuan stood up from the kang in a flash. She was shaking with anger, her face flushed red. "Chen Chengcai, what are you so proud of?"
"You go to the academy all day and night to waste your time. Mom doesn't know, but I do! Did you really buy those snacks? I don't believe it! Maybe you stole them! It must be because Mom spoils you!"
"You little bitch! Shut up!" Chen Chengcai was startled by her loud shouting. He stepped forward to cover Chen Xiaojuan's mouth and looked outside.
He really stole the snacks, and he would be in trouble if Zhou Cuihua found out.
"I'm telling you, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart! Also, wash my clothes for me. I'm leaving in two days. If the clothes aren't dry, I'll beat you!"
After threatening Chen Xiaojuan, Chen Chengcai shoved her hard and pushed her to the ground before swaggering out.
Chen Xiaojuan bit her lips tightly, her eyes turned red, but she managed to hold back a single tear.
She got up from the ground and stepped on and crushed Chen Chengcai's clothes with her feet, but she still felt unsatisfied.
When Baoya was still in her house, all these chores were done by Baoya!
That bastard Chen Chengcai wouldn't take his anger out on her!
Now, that little glutton Baoya has gone to the Yun family to enjoy a good life, leaving her to suffer here!
She vented her anger by stepping on Chen Chengcai's clothes until they were in a mess, then sat down on the edge of the kang, breathing heavily.
I'll go find Baoya tomorrow. That little glutton is always soft and easy to trick, so I'll definitely be able to find out.
When the time comes, if my mother is happy, maybe she will do less work.
Just bear with it for a few more days and wait until that loser Chen Chengcai leaves.
She comforted herself and said, "I have to endure it. I must endure it."
Although it’s a bit hard now, she will definitely live a better life than Baoya!
…
In the Yun family courtyard behind the Chen family, the family had a hearty meal of pork, cabbage and vermicelli stew.
He Chunxiu made pancakes and cornmeal porridge, and everyone ate until their stomachs were full.
Baoya ate a lot more, three pancakes, a big bowl of porridge, and a lot of pork vermicelli.
Zhao Zhilan was delighted to see her eating with such big mouthfuls: "This is how you eat. Just watching Baoya eat makes me feel delicious."
Yunhua stuffed the last bite of the pancake into her mouth and smiled softly, "Grandma, Baoya eats like a little rabbit, chewing very quickly with her little mouth."
Yunyue lowered her head and poked the cornmeal porridge in her bowl with her chopsticks. When she heard what Zhao Zhilan and Yunhua said, she looked unhappy.
She gets praised for eating a lot? Even if the family has stored food, it's a famine, so there's no way she can eat so much! Grandma and sister are both partial!
"If she eats like that, she'll become as fat as a pig sooner or later!" Yun Yue muttered in a low voice in annoyance.
Her voice was soft, and Zhao Zhilan, who was sitting far away, didn't hear it, but Baoya heard it.
Baoya put her empty bowl on the table and turned to look at Yunyue: "Fourth sister, why do I become as fat as a pig if I eat too much? I don't eat as much as a pig."
Yunyue: “…”
You don't eat as much as a pig, but you're a little brat under five years old, and you eat more than your second brother. It would be strange if you don't become as fat as a pig! How will you wear your beautiful new clothes then?
"Humph, I don't talk to gluttons!"
She drank the rice in her bowl in one gulp, slammed the bowl hard on the table with a dull "clang" sound, and got up and ran away.
Baoya looked at her back, pouted her lips, and asked Yunhua: "Third sister, what happened to fourth sister?"
She remembered that she had already coaxed her fourth sister into submission when she was making the flower rope last time. Why was she angry again?
Besides, she just ate two extra pancakes, so why was Fourth Sister angry?
Yunhua looked at Yunyue who went back to their west wing with a huff. She patted Baoya's head and said, "It's okay. She's just being upset. Don't bother with her. She'll be fine soon."
Baoya bit her tender little white fingers and stared at Yunyue's back.
She looked at it for a while, and then seemed to understand: "I understand, Third Sister. I have my own clothes now, but I'm still wearing Fourth Sister's clothes and haven't returned them to her. She must be unhappy."
After all, children from poor families only have a few sets of clothes. When Baoya saw that the back of Yunyue's jacket was torn and the lining was exposed, she thought that her fourth sister must have no clothes to wear.
After she finished speaking, she said hello to He Chunxiu, told him she was full, stood up, turned around and went into the west wing.
In the west wing, Yunyue was sitting on the kang, sulking. Seeing Baoya follow in, she glared at her fiercely: "What are you doing here?"
Baoya saw her red eyes and burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at!" Yunyue stared at the pair of snow-white, furry rabbit hairbands on Baoya's head, feeling very sad.
She hates Baoya so much. Whenever she gets something new, she can't wait to show it off in front of her!
In the past, grandma always gave her everything first because she was the youngest girl in the family, but now, Baoya is here, and she is so sweet that she can please grandma!
"Fourth sister, don't be angry," Baoya reached out to pull Yunyue, "You just said you don't talk to gluttons, so why are you talking to me?"
Yun Yue was stunned and laughed: "Are you stupid? I said you are a good-for-nothing!"
Baoya blinked and said seriously, "Chen Xiaojuan also said I was a glutton. I eat a lot, so being called a glutton...it's okay. As long as Fourth Sister doesn't get angry."
Yunyue was choked by her words. She felt that Baoya was deliberately trying to please her, but the expression on Baoya's little face was serious, and it didn't look like she was trying to please her on purpose.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Baoya thought for a moment, took off one of the rabbit fur headbands on her little hair bun, and put it in Yunyue's palm.
"Fourth sister, can we each have one?" She saw Yunyue staring at her head just now, and felt that Yunyue must like it.
The rabbit fur headband in her palm was still warm. Yunyue stared at Baoya with eyes wide open: "You...you really want to give it to me?"
"Yeah," Baoya nodded seriously, "Does Fourth Sister like it?"
Yunyue blushed: "I don't like it! Grandma bought it for you, I don't want it!"
She said no, but didn't return the items.
Baoya Yile said: "Grandma bought it for me, it was my money, so I wanted to have one each for my fourth sister."
"This way, when we go out, other people will know we are sisters."
"No need to, I don't want others to know." Yunyue's face was hot, she seemed to be coaxed by Baoya again.
Baoya saw that her tone had softened and knew that she was no longer angry. She took Yunyue's hand and said with a smile, "Grandma bought some beautiful floral fabrics and said she wanted to make clothes for us. How about we go pick out some floral fabrics together?"
"Grandma also bought you and your third sister red hairbands, with patterns and little bells on them. They're so pretty."
Yunyue was no longer angry. She rubbed her eyes and was dragged by Baoya to the main room to pick out patterned cloth.
When passing by the main hall, Zhao Zhilan glanced at the two of them, shook her head and smiled.
Li Rongyue was puzzled: "Mom, what are you laughing at?"
Zhao Zhilan said, "Your fourth daughter, this spoiled little temper, will have to be tamed by Baoya sooner or later."
