Before long, Fan's mother came running back with a wooden basin for feeding the chickens.
This time, she wasn't addressing her own son or granddaughter, but rather Shui Qing, who was both surprised and angry. She said, "All the nutrients in this rice are in the bran. Why don't you mix it in when you cook? It would help you get some extra nutrition."
Besides, food is so scarce these days. It's such a waste to just let such good bran go to waste!
In the past, she would mix it into porridge or dark flour and feed it to her daughter-in-law and granddaughter.
As a result, the daughter-in-law used the money to feed the chickens after the family divided the property!
This is wasting food and shows a lack of thrift; she absolutely cannot tolerate it!
Fan Jin quickly said, "Mother, we have enough to eat now, that's good enough."
Before her son could finish speaking, Fan's mother turned on Shuiqing and said, "I'm teaching my daughter-in-law how to manage a household and how to live a good life. I'm doing this because I care about her and want what's best for her!"
She's lucky she married into the Fan family; if she had married someone else, she would have been tormented to death by her wicked mother-in-law!
Shui Qing: ...No, no, you're too modest.
Even if your good daughter-in-law wasn't directly tortured to death by you, she was indirectly killed by your indulgence!
Not satisfied with her words, Fan's mother continued to lecture Fan Jin: "Son, you can't spoil your wife anymore. How can you waste such good bran like this?"
Shui Qing released her arms from her two daughters, took the bowl from Fan's mother to feed the chickens, and smiled as brightly as could be, speaking in a very gentle tone: "Mother, you're right."
"Mother, look, it's getting late. Why don't you stay for dinner? Your daughter-in-law will cook something delicious for you."
Fan Jin stared blankly at Shui Qing, then tried to stop her, saying, "Shui Qing, no need."
Mother Fan raised her eyebrows smugly and asked with an air of self-assurance, "What delicious food are you going to make for me?"
As expected, a daughter-in-law needs to be given a nudge; once she's been nagged, she'll learn everything.
Shuiqing looked at the bran and wild vegetables in the wooden basin and replied dutifully, "Mother, you always say this stuff is good."
It's such a waste to feed such nutritious food to chickens, I think so too. I'll cook it later, Mom, you should eat more! It's good for your health.
"You're feeding me bran and chaff?!"
"Doesn't Mother often give food to her daughter-in-law? Besides, Mother just kept saying it was good stuff. What's wrong with giving good stuff to Mother?"
Mother Fan was so choked up that she couldn't speak.
Seeing that her son wouldn't help her, that her granddaughter showed her no affection, and that her favored grandson was distant, she angrily flung her sleeves and said harshly, "Don't blame me for being biased if I'm nice to my eldest son's family in the future!"
The eldest daughter-in-law is the best; her four grandsons revolve around her and listen to her every word.
Shuiqing quickly stepped forward and earnestly pleaded with her to stay: "Mom, don't go! Stay and have dinner! There's still more than half a bag of bran at home. It's such a nutritious thing. I'll definitely cook you several bowls every meal!"
Fan's mother ran faster than a rabbit.
They are incredibly agile.
There was no trace of the various ailments she had when they lived together before.
Shui Qing watched the fleeing figure and sneered, thinking: She, a person who loves reading palace intrigue and domestic drama novels, can't handle a sharp-tongued old lady.
She really wasted her time looking at it!
Fan Jin was dumbfounded.
All that he said was less effective than a few kind words from Shui Qing.
Yan Qiuxing looked shocked; their mother was amazing!
They subdued Grandma without making a fuss.
In the past, I would have just kept explaining to my grandmother that it didn't taste good and I didn't want to eat it.
Jiang Hehu silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Pfft.
The silence was broken by laughter.
