Liu Xiu'e looked at Wang Maoni in surprise, "Mom...you, how can you say that? Da Wa is your only grandson!"
Wang Maoni nodded. "He is the only eldest grandson, yes, but not the only grandson! We just separated yesterday, and today I let the eldest child eat the dumplings I made. What do your brothers think?"
"Can..."
Liu Xiu'e's eyes darted around, and she soon noticed Su Ruanruan and the others. She raised her hand and pointed at the quadruplets, "What about them? They are also your grandchildren, how can they be eaten?
So now that you have a younger grandson, you won't care about your older grandson anymore, right?"
Perhaps because the family was divided and she was no longer under Wang Maoni's control, Liu Xiu'e was not as afraid of Wang Maoni as before. Even when she spoke, she was more confident than before and even dared to question Wang Maoni like this.
Wang Maoni was not angry, but sneered and looked at Liu Xiu'e with amusement, "Old man, is your brain not working well? If it is, go to the hospital while you have the 300 yuan you just divided. After all, a bad brain is a lifelong problem.
When we were dividing the family last night, we mentioned that the seventh brother and his family were not registered in our brigade, so they couldn't get any food. They stayed at home for a few days, so they ate with us two old people these days.
Besides, the meat and flour for the dumplings were all provided by Lao Qi and his wife, so what's wrong with them eating them? It's only natural that they finish them."
Following Wang Maoni's words, Liu Xiu'e also remembered these things belatedly.
She was just thinking about eating dumplings and forgot all about this.
But Liu Xiu'e's shamelessness was not acquired in vain.
Didn’t I develop such a thick skin just for now?
Liu Xiu'e smiled and said, "Don't be angry, Mom. I just forgot about it.
Seventh brother, seventh brother’s wife, you definitely won’t bother with me, your sister-in-law, about these things, right?
I see you made quite a lot of dumplings. There aren’t many of you, and the four of them can’t eat many. I guess you can’t finish so many dumplings. How about I help you share some?
It’s not easy to make dumplings, so we can’t waste them!”
Listening to Liu Xiu'e's words and looking at her smiling face, Su Runrun was too lazy to get angry.
Getting angry with such people is simply a waste of energy.
Although she was too lazy to get angry, Su Ruanruan would not give anything that she shouldn't give.
Su Ruanruan glanced at Liu Xiu'e calmly and said, "Sister-in-law, you are overthinking. These dumplings may not be enough to eat. How can we not finish them?"
Liu Xiu'e opened her mouth to refute, but she lacked the confidence.
Because Liu Xiu'e knew that even if she gave all these dumplings to their eldest wife, they would be able to eat them all.
It’s not easy to have a meal of dumplings. Everyone opens their stomachs and stuffs as much as they can. The only way is that there won’t be enough food. How is it possible that you can’t finish them?
While Su Ruanruan and Liu Xiu'e were talking, the dumplings were cooked and ready to be served.
When cooking the dumplings, I used two pots, one large and one small, and cooked them at the same time, so all the dumplings could be cooked at once.
Even though it is a small pot, it is quite big and there are not enough dumplings in it.
You can serve it out and put it in a porcelain bowl, and it will immediately look more filling.
I filled several small basins with it before I finally took out all the dumplings from the pot.
Wang Maoni also took another slightly larger bowl and filled it with dumpling soup.
Even after serving a bowl of dumplings, there was still a lot of dumpling soup left in the pot.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu'e hurried forward and said, "Mom, Seventh Brother, Seventh Sister-in-law, go eat the dumplings quickly. You don't have to clean the pot. I'll do it in a while. Dumplings are better when they are freshly cooked. The taste will change when they are cold."
Liu Xiu'e was not simply kind-hearted; she said this just for the remaining dumpling soup in the pot.
In Liu Xiu'e's opinion, dumplings can no longer be eaten, but dumpling soup cannot be missed.
The dumpling soup is oily and has a meaty taste. When used to cook noodles, you just need to sprinkle a little salt and the taste is amazing.
All the thoughts in Liu Xiu'e's mind were clearly written on her face, and were seen clearly by Su Runrun and the others.
Wang Maoni just glanced at Liu Xiu'e and didn't expose her. "If you want to clean up, then do it! Lao Qi, Ruan Ruan, bring the dumplings over."
There were several bowls of dumplings, and three people each had to carry a bowl, which meant they had to run back and forth twice.
Wang Maoni didn't move, but just stood there, letting Su Ruanruan and Fu Wenjing run back and forth to serve the dumplings.
The reason for doing this is simple: it is to prevent Liu Xiu'e from stealing dumplings.
Having lived in the same family for so many years, Wang Maoni knows Liu Xiu'e too well.
As long as Wang Maoni dared to leave, Liu Xiu'e would reach out and grab the dumplings and stuff them into her mouth.
One or two are not enough, and I won’t stop until I choke myself to death.
Just as Wang Maoni understood Liu Xiu'e, Liu Xiu'e also understood Wang Maoni.
Seeing Wang Maoni standing there motionless, Liu Xiu'e knew that her last chance to eat dumplings was also blocked, and she curled her lips in disappointment.
Only after the last bowl of dumplings and dumpling soup was taken away did Wang Maoni follow them out. "Okay, old man, you cook. I'm going to eat."
When Wang Maoni walked out of the kitchen, she happened to meet Li Laidi.
The moment the two passed each other, Wang Maoni quickened her pace and did not give Li Laidie any chance to speak.
Li Laidie could only walk quickly into the kitchen, take a few deep breaths, and then look at Liu Xiu'e with envy on her face.
"Sister-in-law, no wonder you came back so early. It turns out you knew that mom was going to make dumplings! I have to say, sister-in-law, you are being a little bit unkind. Since you knew that mom was going to make dumplings, you should have told me so that I could have a few dumplings too."
As she spoke, Li Lai Di nudged Liu Xiu'e with her shoulder and winked at her, "Sister-in-law, tell me quickly, are the dumplings that Mom made today delicious? Is there a lot of meat? Are they fatty? They must be very greasy, right? Look at the dumpling soup in this pot, there is a thick layer of oil floating on it!"
The more Li Lai Di spoke, the uglier Liu Xiu'e's expression became.
How does she know if there is too much meat or fat?
She didn't get a single bite!
After taking a look at Li Laidie who was still making faces, Liu Xiu'e's eyes rolled and a plan immediately came to her mind.
"Second sister-in-law, don't look at me coming back so early, but I am incompetent! I didn't even get to eat a single dumpling. Look at my mouth, is there any oil on it?"
Li Laidie stared at Liu Xiu'e's mouth carefully again and again, even looked inside her mouth, and really didn't see any oil at all.
Seeing that Li Lai Di believed it, Liu Xiu'e continued, "I don't have the ability to eat dumplings, but you, my second sister-in-law, are good at talking. Maybe you can make mother happy and have a bowl of dumplings! I saw that the dumplings were big, with thin skin and thick meat..."
