When the streets were deserted, Ma Hua simply swapped the items he had bought with those in the system's courtyard.
The other families in the courtyard were really unlucky. Usually, only Ma Hua's family cooked, and the smell alone was enough to make a huge fuss.
Now Xu Damao's family also wants to do it.
However, Xu Damao knew his craftsmanship well, so he took the things he bought directly to Sha Zhu's doorstep.
Xu Damao stood at the door of Sha Zhu's house and called directly into the house, "Sha Zhu, Sha Zhu!"
At that moment, Sha Zhu was inside talking to Xiao Yun when he heard Xu Damao calling him from outside the door.
He quickly put down what he was holding and came out.
"Hey, isn't this the newly appointed old man of our courtyard house? What's up?"
"What's up?" Sha Zhu asked, looking at Xu Damao who was carrying things.
"Alright, Sha Zhu, I've got some good stuff, are you in?" Xu Damao didn't have time to waste with Sha Zhu and asked him directly.
If it weren't for the fact that Sha Zhu had become incredibly well-behaved after getting married, and that his wife was Xiao Yun, Xu Damao would have dealt with Sha Zhu long ago.
"What's wrong?" Sha Zhu looked at Xu Damao with some confusion.
"Make me a meal." Xu Damao didn't hesitate and gestured to Sha Zhu what he was holding.
"That's not impossible, but you know my rules."
Sha Zhu looked at what Xu Damao was holding and said somewhat embarrassedly.
"Fine, but Sha Zhu, let me tell you, if you dare to make this chicken missing an arm or a leg,..."
"I'm not done with you yet. You can decide what to do next. It's just the two of us eating," Xu Damao warned Sha Zhu directly.
I'm treating people to dinner, so I can't allow chickens with missing wings or legs to appear.
It makes it seem like I, Xu Damao, can't afford a whole chicken.
"No problem, no problem," Sha Zhu said somewhat awkwardly.
"I'll go home and get some seasonings, I'll be right there," Sha Zhu said to Xu Damao.
I went home to prepare things and also told my wife.
...
At Yi Zhonghai's house, Banggeng looked at the cornbread and cabbage that his mother, Qin Huairu, had made.
He immediately roared at Qin Huairu:
"I don't want to eat cornbread, I don't want to eat cabbage, I want to eat meat, I want to eat delicious food."
When Yi Zhonghai saw Bang Geng throwing a tantrum, he merely glanced coldly at Qin Huairu and said nothing more.
The "stick" is now useless; for Yi Zhonghai, it's merely a tool to maintain Qin Huairu's relationship.
If Qin Huairu hadn't valued Bang Geng, Yi Zhonghai would have kicked him out long ago.
"Good boy, we just ate meat. Wait a few days, and Mom will buy you more meat."
Qin Huairu hugged the stick tightly to her chest with a touch of heartache and quickly comforted it.
"No, I want to eat it today!! I have to eat it today!" Banggeng smelled the aroma of meat wafting from the courtyard.
My mouth was watering uncontrollably. Why should other people get to eat meat?
And I'm at home eating cornbread!! It shouldn't be me eating meat while they eat cornbread; they envy me!!
Banggeng felt increasingly resentful. Jealousy, dissatisfaction, and anger clouded his judgment.
Seeing Bang Geng's persistent attitude, Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai with some embarrassment.
Ultimately, Yi Zhonghai is now in charge of this family.
When Yi Zhonghai saw Qin Huairu's pleading gaze, he sneered inwardly.
He didn't speak, but instead looked at Yi Dang and Yi Huaihua, who were playing nearby.
"Do Xiaodang and Huaihua want to eat meat?" Yi Zhonghai asked the two little girls with a kind expression.
Yi Dang was about to say "eat," but was stopped by Huaihua beside him.
Dad said we can eat whatever we want; locust flowers aren't picky, they'll eat anything.
The tiny figures of locust flowers echoed in the Yi family home.
Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction when he heard Huaihua say that.
He didn't say much, but instead looked at Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu was also embarrassed. Why didn't these two good-for-nothings say they wanted to eat?
But Huaihua had her own calculations. Although Yi Zhonghai was her biological father...
But the way Yi Zhonghai looked at her frightened Huaihua.
Yi Zhonghai's eyes were full of calculation, disdain, and dissatisfaction when he looked at himself.
So when Huaihua heard Yi Zhonghai ask that question, she replied, "To say I don't want to eat meat? That would be a lie."
Upon hearing his sister's words, Banggeng immediately exploded: "Pah, you good-for-nothing!"
"Who told you to say you didn't want to eat? Who told you to say that?"
Banggeng waved his only good hand and slapped Huaihua across the face.
Huaihua never expected that Banggeng would turn out like this; a handprint instantly appeared on her delicate little face.
Not satisfied with just hitting him, he yelled at Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai, "I don't care!"
I want to eat meat today! I want to eat it!
When Banggeng saw that Qin Huairu hadn't agreed to his request, he sat down on the ground and started throwing a tantrum.
When Qin Huairu saw this, tears streamed down her face. How could this idiot be so inconsiderate?
But after all, he was her own son. Qin Huairu turned to look at Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi,"
How about we buy some meat for the kids? What do you think?
"Buy meat?? Qin Huairu, I don't have any money. If you have money, go buy it yourself." Yi Zhonghai sneered. Buy meat, indeed.
I'd rather starve the hamster to death and just throw it away. It's a useless piece of trash; who knows who will take care of it in the future?
Qin Huairu never expected Yi Zhonghai to be so ruthless. Bang Geng is your own son!
But for Yi Zhonghai, a good son is one who can take care of him in his old age, regardless of whether it's his biological son or his adopted son!
Seeing this, Bang Geng cried even louder. Yi Zhonghai was annoyed and just looked coldly at Qin Huairu.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu reached out and lightly struck the stick, cursing as she did so:
Why are you so greedy? I'll teach you to be greedy!
I let you have your sweet tooth! How old are you? How can you still be so immature? Waaaaah!
As Qin Huairu spoke, tears streamed down her face.
But Banggeng didn't understand Qin Huairu's good intentions. When he saw Qin Huairu hitting him, he immediately ran out of the house crying.
Seeing Bang Geng like this, Qin Huairu felt her heart break, and her hatred for Yi Zhonghai intensified.
This is your own son! I didn't say anything when you let Jia Dongxu raise him.
Now that they've changed their surname and are calling you "Dad," why are you still so indifferent to the Korean joke?
If Yi Zhonghai were to hear Qin Huairu's true feelings, he would only scoff and remain indifferent.
I'm already doing him a favor by being able to support him; he's a good-for-nothing, and his grades are the worst in the class.
He also has a penchant for petty theft, which has completely disgraced me, Yi Zhonghai.
I seriously doubt if this idiot is even my son, Yi Zhonghai. How could he be so stupid?
