"Mom, there isn't much oil left. Don't tell me that in your heart, this little bit of oil is not as valuable as your two eldest grandsons?
Look how happy they are! They can eat fried eggs with oil, and they are in the growth period. Dabao and Erbao, hurry up and thank grandma."
Dabao and Erbao could not quite understand what Ying Xixi said, but they knew that if they followed their aunt's instructions, they would be able to eat greasy scrambled eggs!
“Thank you, grandma!”
Old Mrs. Qi was holding her breath, neither up nor down, her old face was black and blue.
"Big Treasure and Second Treasure, quickly help your grandma back to the house. You can eat eggs after your aunt finishes cooking."
The bowl of eggs that Ying Xixi was holding was like bait, which could catch two greedy people.
Dabao and Erbao were drooling and obediently supported Old Lady Qi, one on each side, to bring her into the house.
Old Mrs. Qi glared at Ying Xixi fiercely and left.
Ying Xixi put the bowl of tomato and egg aside, and used the remaining oil to stir-fry two more dishes. She also put the egg she had hidden in the pot to cook.
Her cooking skills are actually pretty good, but she deliberately burnt the food.
The eggs were cooked, and Ying Xixi put them in her pocket and went into the house.
"Big Treasure, Second Treasure, tell your mother to go to the kitchen and bring out the food."
Ying Xixi called out, and Dabao and Erbao, thinking about the bowl of eggs, immediately ran to call their mother.
Ying Xixi returned to the room and closed the door.
Hearing the noise, Guigui poked her little head out from under the covers and called her in a soft, baby voice, "Mom."
Ying Xixi sat softly beside the bed, holding the little girl in her arms, "My dear, come and eat the eggs first, and then go out to eat with me later. After dinner, I will take you to the mountains to catch some delicious pheasants."
Ying Xixi peeled the boiled egg and handed it to Guigui.
Guigui's eyes lit up. "Eggs! Mommy eats them too."
"Mother has eaten, so you can eat now, treasure."
Ying Xixi rubbed Guibao's little head, waited for her to finish eating the eggs, and then carried her out.
As soon as the mother and the daughter left, the sound of Old Lady Qi cursing and swearing was heard in the main room.
"God damn it! So much rice! So much oil! It's all wasted! Eat, eat, eat, what are you eating! This bowl of eggs is enough for several meals!"
Dabao and Erbao grabbed the bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes directly. Ying Xixi took a look and saw that it was almost empty.
"Sister-in-law, you cooked too much rice today. This rice is enough for us to eat for a week."
Xia Qiulan, the second son's daughter-in-law, echoed Old Lady Qi in a sarcastic tone.
"That's right. It's such a waste to use so much oil to stir-fry just a small bitter vegetable."
He Chunhua, the daughter-in-law of the third brother, also joined in the fun.
"You think it's too oily, but your son eats it with relish. Look, he's finished all the scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
If you think I cook too much rice and use too much oil, then you guys go and cook, right, mom, you have three daughters-in-law.
I can't be your daughter-in-law who takes care of everything at home and outside, while your other two daughters-in-law are sitting around doing nothing. If others knew about this, they would think I'm not your biological daughter-in-law."
As soon as Ying Xixi said this, Xia Qiulan and He Chunhua looked at her as if they had seen a ghost.
The previous owner was not only hardworking and uncomplaining at home, but also could not get anything done even with a few sticks.
No matter what the Qi family said to her, ridiculed her, or spoke ill of her, she would not refute anything, but would just silently lower her head and do the housework.
It's no wonder that the Qi family found it strange that Ying Xixi would refute and challenge today.
Ying Xixi didn't care what the Qi family thought. While they were still stunned, she quickly served the rice and picked up some dishes for Guigui to eat.
Xia Qiulan came to her senses and saw that Ying Xixi and Guigui were busy eating, which made her unhappy.
"Sister-in-law, my Weiguo and my brother-in-law haven't come back yet, why are you eating first?"
Ying Xixi took two more mouthfuls of rice without even raising her eyelids.
"What? Now we have to wait until everyone is gathered before we can eat? Before Guibao and I even got to the table to eat, you guys had already eaten up all the food. There wasn't much left.
At that time, I thought the Qi family didn't need to wait for everyone to gather before they could start eating.
Or did you set this rule? Mother hasn't said anything yet, right?"
Ying Xixi raised her eyes and looked at Old Lady Qi, whose face was sometimes ashen and sometimes black.
Xia Qiulan was provoked by Ying Xixi and didn't react for a while. When she reacted, she stared at Old Lady Qi and waited for her to scold Ying Xixi.
"Eat if you're hungry. No need to wait. From now on, you two will take turns cooking for the second and third families."
Old Mrs. Qi and Ying Xixi looked at each other and said something that was beyond Xia Qiulan's expectation.
Ying Xixi smiled meaningfully at Old Lady Qi, then withdrew her gaze and continued to pick up food for Guibao to eat.
Xia Qiulan: “???”
He Chunhua: “???”
"Mom, isn't it always my sister-in-law who cooks the meals?"
Xia Qiulan was not convinced.
Old Lady Qi glared at her, "Ying Xixi uses so much oil and cooks so much rice. If she is asked to cook again, she will ruin my Qi family sooner or later!"
Xia Qiulan's eyes rolled around, and as soon as she made up her mind, she was seen through by Old Lady Qi.
"Don't you two learn that trick! If you dare to use too much rice oil, I'll punish you!"
Xia Qiulan choked and glared at Ying Xixi angrily, but didn't dare to say anything.
Ying Xixi waited for Guigui to finish her meal, then carried her out.
do the washing up?
She won’t wash!
Not long after Ying Xixi left, Old Man Qi returned from the fields with his two sons after harvesting crops.
There wasn't much food left on the table, and Old Man Qi wanted to call Ying Xixi to get some more food.
But before he could open his mouth, he was pulled back into the house by Old Lady Qi.
"What are you doing, old woman? You drag me into the house as soon as you come back. Aren't you ashamed?"
Old man Qi muttered to himself.
"What are you thinking about, you old fool? You're already old and still dreaming about beautiful things! Come here and I'll tell you, things are very strange today, old man."
Old Mrs. Qi’s face was solemn.
Old Man Qi disagreed, "Why, you bullied her and she resisted?"
"right."
"That's quite normal. Even a clay figure always has a temper. You don't want to think that she has been bullied by you and your two sisters-in-law since she married into the old family.
Plus, with Guiwaer being like that, if you bully her to the point where she can't stand it anymore, she'll definitely resist."
Old Man Qi saw through it, but he never stopped his family from bullying the original owner.
Old Mrs. Qi frowned and thought about it, and it turned out to be true.
But that’s not the point.
"Not only did the eldest lady resist, but this morning she suddenly stared at me like a ghost, asking if I was really her mother-in-law, and she said that only her grandsons could eat eggs.
It's not about eating eggs or not, it's about how she said the word "grandson" in such a serious tone! Old man, do you think she knows something?
Otherwise, how could she suddenly have the guts to fight me for no reason? She's really got a sharp tongue today!"
