Chapter 22 Can't Eat



Yu Jiao hadn't thought too much about it before, and ignored the conditions of the environment she was in. Song was submissive and afraid of the old lady. She hadn't meant to cause trouble for her. Yu Jiao felt a little sorry, and said softly to comfort Song, "I took out the eggs for use. Don't worry, I'll take care of the old lady."

Seeing that Yu Jiao was about to take the blame on herself, Song said hurriedly, "Silly girl, you are from our second house. I didn't tell you in advance. If your grandma gets angry later, don't say anything. I will talk to her."

Yu Jiao smiled faintly, feeling warm in her heart. Although Song was weak in character, she still protected her. The people in the second branch of the Yu family were really nice.

The two of them brought the prepared food to the main room. Song deliberately asked Yu Jiao to serve the meal to Yu Mengshan, and went back to the second room to call Yu Qizhe and Yu Fuling to come to the main room to eat. After sending Yu Jiao away, she went to the east room to invite the old man and the old lady to come out for dinner.

Yu Ruhai sat at the dining table, sniffed hard, the beard on his chin twitching slightly, and said cheerfully, "The food today is quite delicious."

"Dad, we have saved a lot of eggs at home, so I took a few and used them." Song explained guiltily. Knowing that the old lady disliked Yu Jiao, Song did not dare to say that it was Yu Jiao who cooked the meal.

After hearing what Song said, Yu Zhou's face suddenly changed. She walked to the table in two or three steps. When she saw the bright yellow leek and eggs on the plate, and the tomato and eggs in the bowl, her old face instantly fell, and she glared at Song fiercely with her drooping eyes.

"You're courting death! You greedy thief, you bitch! My second and fourth brothers study hard in the academy day and night, and they don't eat or sleep well! Second wife, what are you thinking? The family has finally saved up these good things. I told you again and again that these eggs should be kept for my second and fourth brothers to rest after returning home from the academy so that I can replenish their bodies. But you, damn it, took them out and ate them while they were not at home!"

The couple from the third room had already come over after hearing the noise. When Zhao heard what the old lady said and took a look at the egg noodles that were in every bowl for everyone, she instantly became furious. In the past, only the third room and the old man and old lady could eat eggs in the house. But today, Song had the guts to cook eggs while Jinshu and Jinyan were not at home. Not only did she make noodles, she also deliberately used eggs to stir-fry vegetables. This was clearly a deliberate act against the third room. It was just because that evil person Meng Yujiao knew medical skills, but now the second room dared to ignore the third room. What would happen in the future?

Song stammered, "Mother, I... I'm not greedy. Our family hasn't eaten meat for a long time, and we have saved up a lot of eggs. I thought of taking out a few to improve the food. There are still a lot left in the basket. My second and fourth brothers are coming back from the academy, so there's enough for them to eat."

"Enough for them to eat? Second sister-in-law, you are now telling lies with your eyes open. Our chickens can only produce four or five eggs every day. When the weather gets cold, the chickens will not lay many eggs. Jinshu and Jinyan are at the age where they need to replenish their bodies. Studying is so hard, how can these eggs be enough for them to eat? Second sister-in-law really doesn't know how to feel sorry for your two nephews. Do you also want them to be like fifth brother, and ruin their bodies because of hard work?" Zhao sneered coldly.

The last sentence pierced Song's heart directly. Yu Qizhe's health was completely ruined because he had to endure three consecutive exams. Song often woke up in the middle of the night, beating her chest and crying. What little third place in the imperial examination? What number one place in the imperial examination? She just wanted her son to be healthy and alive.

After calling Yu Qizhe and Yu Fuling, Yu Jiao went to call the eldest couple to have dinner. Yu Qiaoshan was obsessed with the prosthesis. According to the drawing given by Yu Jiao, he had cut a piece of wood and made a rough outline. He took Yu Jiao to the yard to discuss some issues about the connection parts of the prosthesis. While they were talking, Yu Jiao heard the old lady's fierce voice in the main room. Her face changed slightly. She stopped talking with Yu Qiaoshan, turned around and walked quickly to the main room.

Before they even reached the main hall, they heard Zhao's sarcastic voice. Just when Song was too tongue-tied to know what to say, Yu Jiao walked up to her and said loudly, "I cooked today's meal and used the eggs. It's just a few eggs. Why do you care? Yu Jinshu and Yu Jinyan eat them, but other people in the Yu family can't eat them?"
