night.
Li Xiangyun made a cabbage stew with glass noodles, with a little bit of pork in it.
He also stewed a bowl of steamed egg custard for each of his daughters-in-law.
The eldest son's share is for Da Ya and Xiao Hu Zi. Zhang Hongying is pregnant and needs more nutrition. Ning Ning still looks thin and small, so she also needs to be well nourished.
Li Xiangyun lifted the lid of the steamed egg custard in the pot. Just as she was about to take it out, Yao Qingqing came in and said, "Auntie, I'll take Third Sister-in-law's."
Li Xiangyun didn't understand the convoluted conversation between the group of people.
She nodded and handed two bowls of steamed egg custard to Wang Cuihong and Zhang Hongying.
Yun Ningyan watched Yao Qingqing enter the kitchen and sneered inwardly.
What is Yao Qingqing up to now?
They failed just now, and now they're resorting to this disgusting trick again?
She smiled at Huo Junshan, her bright face full of smiles, and Huo Junshan raised his hand to pinch her soft cheek.
Yun Ningyan gestured for him to look at the kitchen, and Huo Junshan nodded in agreement.
To others, their interactions appeared to be a sign of their affection for each other.
Huo Changlan said with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, look how good the relationship is between the third brother and Ningning. In just a short while, the third brother has looked at Ningning countless times, his eyes are glued to her."
Li Xiangyun smiled and said, "It's a good thing that the two of them have a good relationship. A man should cherish his wife."
Li Xiangyun placed two bowls of steamed egg custard in front of her eldest and second daughters-in-law.
Yao Qingqing lingered in the kitchen for a long time before finally bringing out the steamed egg custard.
She smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, this is yours."
Huo Changlan also laughed and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are so good. Look at what your mother-in-law does. Who can compare to you? Your three daughters-in-law are all more filial than the last."
Huo Changlan glanced at the bowls of the others again and again; she hadn't eaten steamed egg custard in a long time.
My second sister-in-law didn't even bother to make a bowl for her and her daughter to try.
Yao Qingqing sat down with a smile: "Third Sister-in-law, please eat quickly, it will get cold soon."
Yun Ningyan looked at Huo Junshan, and saw that Huo Junshan nodded slightly at her.
She immediately smiled and said, "Auntie, you are guests, please eat first. Huo Junshan, go to the kitchen and get three bowls so that Auntie and your two cousins can also have a taste."
Wang Cuihong immediately glanced at her and said, "Third sister-in-law, you don't have children or are pregnant. Share yours with your aunt and the others. My bowl isn't even enough for two children."
Zhang Hongying lowered her head and ate her steamed egg custard, remaining silent and unresponsive.
But in his heart, he secretly resented Yun Ningyan. Why couldn't she just enjoy her steamed egg custard?
What are you going to do for someone else?
Her mother made her steamed egg custard, but she gave it to others; she really doesn't know what's good for her.
Huo Junshan brought over three bowls, and Yun Ningyan still divided her steamed egg custard into three portions, giving the extra portion to Yao Qingqing.
Yao Qingqing looked pale and almost cried.
This third sister-in-law is amazing!
That bitch!
How did she find out? I was being so careful, so very careful, yet she still discovered it.
She wore a smile on her face, but in her heart she hated Yun Ningyan intensely.
Twice now!
This is the second time!
That bitch! She did it on purpose!
She didn't want to give herself any leverage, but she did it discreetly, so no one else knew, and she couldn't reveal it.
I had no choice but to hold my nose and eat it.
This is the second time she has eaten her own saliva today.
Yun Ningyan was in the courtyard the whole time, how could she know what was going on in the kitchen?
Huo Changlan smiled happily and said, "Ningning, don't be shy. This is something your second sister-in-law gave you to help you recover. It's fine whether we eat it or not."
Looking at Yun Ningyan, Li Xiangyun wondered to herself: What's going on with the third son's family today?
A change from the usual style?
Why are they constantly trying to curry favor with Huo Changlan and her daughter?
Looking at Yao Qingqing's expression, which looked like she'd just eaten shit, she was even more confused.
Although eggs are not as precious as meat, they are not something you can eat every day.
Why does Yao Qingqing still have that expression?
It looks like there's poison in this steamed egg custard. Is it really that unbearable?
Yun Ningyan winked at Yao Qingqing with a grin, her lips curving into a carefree smile that left Yao Tingting almost speechless.
Huo Changlan nudged their arms: "Your third sister-in-law gave these to you, hurry up and eat them! From now on, you two should learn from Ningning, understand?"
Both daughters nodded in unison.
Yao Tingting didn't want to eat.
She knew what kind of person Yao Qingqing was, and Yun Ningyan wasn't so kind as to give them the good stuff.
But her mother ate it all; if she didn't eat it, her mother would pinch her again.
She thought for a moment, picked up the bowl, and ate it all in one go.
Yao Qingqing looked at the two of them, their mouths covered in sesame oil, and she was speechless.
Finally, under Huo Changlan's watchful gaze, she ate it anyway!
If what she did were to become known, not only would Yun Ningyan not let her off the hook, but even her mother would beat her.
She could only endure it herself!
After finishing her steamed egg custard, she screamed and cursed Yun Ningyan in her heart.
You bitch!
That bitch deserves to die!
That little bitch did it on purpose!
Yun Ningyan deserves to die. She knows she can't stop her mother and sister; she's clearly doing it on purpose.
The three of them ate every last bit, and Yun Ningyan smiled with satisfaction.
Huo Changlan licked his lips after finishing his meal, seemingly still wanting more.
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough food; she hadn't had enough.
Looking at her mother's expression, Yao Qingqing lowered her head, her eyes filled with malice.
Yun Ningyan had no interest in seeing her pretty expression, so she grabbed Huo Junshan and left.
She said to Li Xiangyun, "Mother, you left a piece of clothing at home. Come and get it."
Li Xiangyun waved her hand: "It's alright, no rush, I'll go tomorrow..."
Yun Ningyan stared at her for two seconds, then winked at her. Her bright, lively eyes made Li Xiangyun's heart flutter with joy.
She quickly changed the subject: "It'll be too late if I go tomorrow, I still need to get dressed! Let's go."
She wiped her hands on the apron, took it off, and tossed it into Huo Changgen's hands.
And so he followed Yun Ningyan and Huo Junshan away.
She did leave a piece of clothing behind.
After they returned to the courtyard, Yun Ningyan said, "Mother, be careful of Yao Qingqing. She spat in my water cup and my steamed egg custard today, and she thinks I don't know."
"What! Spitting?"
Li Xiangyun immediately jumped up:
Damn it, those two girls were all silent. She thought Huo Changlan's husband's family must have had some extraordinary luck, producing two daughters who were completely different from Huo Changlan.
It turned out she misjudged the situation.
This isn't just auspicious smoke rising from the ancestral graves; it's like the ancestral graves are on fire!
Huo Changlan's husband is really unlucky. He married Huo Changlan, but he didn't have a son. His two daughters were also led astray by Huo Changlan.
He himself died long ago.
This is what they call "like mother, like daughter".
What the hell did this thing come from?!
How could someone do something so despicable?
We can't let her go into the kitchen later. If she's in the kitchen and spits on a whole pot of rice, it would be disgusting.
