Chapter 79 Er Ya Can't Be This Lazy
Shu Yu stepped forward and greeted her uncle and aunt, then led them into the main room.
As soon as Li sat down, the old lady came over, snorted, and said, "What are you sitting there for? Didn't you come here so early in the morning to help out? You really think you're a guest. Come with me to the kitchen to pick vegetables."
Li's face immediately darkened, but she didn't say much. She told Lu Dasong and went to the kitchen.
Lu Dasong went inside to check on Lu Erbai. Shu Yu poured him a glass of water and then went to the backyard to brew medicine for Lu Erbai.
Lu Erbai's leg needs to be dressed every day, and Shu Yu is the only one in the family who does this well.
When Li entered the kitchen, she only saw the old lady and Ruan, and even Sanya was there, but she didn't see Shuyu coming in. She felt uncomfortable and spoke sarcastically, "Why isn't Erya coming in to help? We have to entertain guests, but she's hiding away. A young lady can't be too lazy."
The old lady suddenly stood up and glared at her. "Who are you calling lazy? If you don't want to do it, go back to your own home. What's with the sarcastic tone? Don't make yourself uncomfortable. Er Ya is well-behaved and hardworking. I'm the one who doesn't let Er Ya into the kitchen. Do you have a problem with that?"
The old lady wasn't lying about this. Er Ya was such an honest girl; she wasn't stingy at all when entertaining guests. If she cooked, she guaranteed that the Li family would want to eat dinner after lunch.
The old lady absolutely wanted to prevent this from happening.
Their family is going through a tough time right now, so they're trying to save money wherever they can. Isn't this how they usually eat anyway?
Li dared not refute her mother-in-law, but in her heart she felt that Shuyu, even after returning home, still carried the spoiled air of a young lady.
The old lady didn't care what she thought; on the contrary, she felt that Er Ya was worldly and knew more than them. She was meant for great things, not just staying around the stove.
Not long after, Lu Sanzhu arrived with Liang Shi.
Li was shocked. She looked up at the sky and realized the sun hadn't risen in the west.
The third son and his wife always rushed in at mealtimes, grabbed their bowls and chopsticks, sat down at the table to eat, and left as soon as they finished, never lifting a finger to help.
She actually came so early today. Liang even rolled up her sleeves and came in to help, looking very energetic.
"Mother, elder sister-in-law, second sister-in-law, I'm here. What do you need me to do? Just tell me."
The old lady glanced at her. Well, it must be the third son who told her about Er Ya's abilities; it's rare for her to be so diligent. She handed her a basket of vegetables. "Take these to the river to wash."
Liang nodded and left happily.
The old lady looked at her three troublesome daughters-in-law and was dissatisfied with all three of them.
The eldest son is hypocritical and stingy; he smiles at you to your face but always does dirty tricks behind your back.
The second son's family is timid and indecisive, especially since they have a vicious maternal family.
The third son's family is lazy and slacking off all day long, spoiling their child so much that even the man can't control him.
Even if you don't like it, you can't return it.
The old lady left the kitchen as she was thinking, and just then she saw Da Niu coming over.
Da Niu held a fish in his hand, grinning, "Grandma, here you go, I just caught it in the river, it's still lively and jumping around, I'll kill it for lunch and make another dish."
The old lady beamed, "Oh my, my grandson is so capable. Here, give me the fish, and you hurry back to change your clothes. Look how wet you are, you might catch a cold."
Big Tiger emerged from behind Big Ox, also soaking wet.
The old lady urged him to change his clothes.
