Song Fanxing rolled her eyes.
"Auntie, are you coming or not? Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Ye Fangxuan shook Fang Min's hand, "Mom, I don't want to leave, I want to stay at Aunt's house."
Fang Min glared at her fiercely.
That brat, she's always dragging her down.
However, she regretted it at that moment. She shouldn't have been so impulsive. Once she stepped out the door, there was no going back.
And if she leaves here, where can she and her daughter go? Without a place to live and without money, she and her daughter will starve to death on the streets.
Song Yaohua urged, "Auntie, let's go. Weren't you being very tough just now?"
Fang Min looked at Fang Jie and saw that she didn't try to stop her.
She was sad and angry, and left with Ye Fangxuan, her face dark.
After Fang Min and Ye Fangxuan left, Song Fanxing cheered happily.
Fang Jie glared at her.
"naughty!"
Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua were also very happy; they disliked Fang Min and Ye Fangxuan.
Fang Jie ignored them and went into the kitchen to cook.
When she saw the large basket full of vegetables, her first thought was that the God of God had come to bestow gifts upon her again.
The food was so plentiful this time, with all kinds of vegetables, some still covered in water droplets, looking like they had just been picked.
She peeled the corn and boiled it all; there were 10 ears. If she couldn't finish them, she would eat them tonight, and if she couldn't finish them tonight, she would eat them tomorrow.
They didn't have any snacks at home. These days, it's good enough to have enough to eat, who wants snacks? She boiled the corn and left it out so the children could pick it up and eat it when they were hungry.
Knowing that her daughter liked cold eggplant salad with chili peppers, she made another one.
She carefully placed the other dishes into a large water tank to store and eat them slowly.
When the fragrant corn was served, Song Yaohua's mouth watered.
Finally, I can eat delicious corn again.
Strange, he's been eating corn for a month and he still hasn't had enough. He misses it if he doesn't eat it for a day.
Fang Jie then brought out a plate of eggplant with chili peppers.
Song Fanxing took a bite.
"Mmm! Delicious! Mom, your cooking is so good, you could open a restaurant."
The flattery made Fang Jie very happy.
Song Fanxing thought Fang Jie's cooking skills were really good. There was no oil at home, so she made such simple dishes taste delicious. Plus, today's dishes were brought from the Spirit Spring Space, making them even tastier.
The family sat down to eat.
Fang Min led Ye Fangxuan to stand at the door.
"Sister, Fangxuan and I are so hungry, can we come in and eat?"
The aroma of corn made her stomach rumble loudly.
Ye Fangxuan drooled, broke free from Fang Min's hand, ran over, grabbed an ear of corn, and started eating it.
Song Fanxing: ……
How did she manage to finish reading the entire novel with this female lead's character?
Were you out of your mind back then?
Fang Jie said calmly, "Come in, sit down and eat."
Fang Min casually tossed her things aside, then sat down and picked up an ear of corn to eat.
"Sister, the corn you grew is really delicious."
Fang Jie paused for a moment, but said nothing.
In one meal, 10 ears of corn were finished, and the chili peppers and eggplants were also eaten clean.
Except for Song Fanxing, who only ate half a stick, everyone else ate quite a lot.
Song Yaohui and Song Yaohua were both growing and had big appetites, so they each ate two. She did physical labor, which was physically demanding, so she also ate two. Fang Min ate two, and if there were any more, she would eat more. Ye Fangxuan, despite being so small, actually ate one and a half.
After finishing the meal, Fang Min didn't offer to wash the dishes. Instead, she lay on the kang (a heated brick bed) like a lord, not even picking up a single bowl.
Fang Jie shook her head and sighed.
This younger sister is so lazy. I really don't know how she's managed to live in her husband's family all these years. Does she just do nothing and wait for her brother-in-law to serve her?
Ye Fangxuan had learned her lesson and took the initiative to help Fang Jie clear the dishes and wipe the table. Then she picked up a broom and went to sweep the yard.
Fang Jie said, "Fang Xuan, stop sweeping, let Auntie sweep it."
Ye Fangxuan: "Auntie, I'll sweep. From now on, just let me do any chores around the house. I can do anything. I'm very diligent."
"Okay... alright."
Fang Jie had no choice but to go along with her.
Song Fanxing leaned against the door frame and looked at Ye Fangxuan.
She's such a poor thing. How hard is it for her to have food to eat?
Song Fanxing had a headache. The female lead was so young, living with an unreliable mother, and had been kicked out by her grandparents, leaving her with nowhere to go.
She wanted to drive her away but couldn't bring herself to do it.
If we don't drive them away, we're afraid the story will repeat itself.
Sigh, what a worry...
Fortunately, the eldest brother's crisis has been resolved. Now, we just need to keep a close eye on the second brother and make sure nothing happens to him.
The next day, Fang Jie found Song Guoqiang.
Somewhat embarrassed, he said, "Captain, could Yaohui and Yaohua come to school first? I'll raise the tuition fees as soon as possible."
Song Guoqiang knew about their family situation.
Song Darong would come back every few months, and the money he sent back was all taken by Old Lady Song, so Fang Jie didn't have much money.
After a moment's hesitation, Song Guoqiang agreed.
Fang Jie was very grateful.
"Captain, I need to trouble you with something. Could you write a letter to Darong for me, saying that his child needs tuition fees and asking him to take leave to send some money home?"
If the letter is sent back, I'm afraid my mother-in-law will intercept it. She has a very sharp eye; whenever a letter is sent back, she'll ask about it, and if she knows it's from Song Darong, she'll take it immediately.
Song Guoqiang readily agreed and took out paper and pen to write it down.
After writing it, Song Guoqiang said, "Just leave the letter with me. When the postman comes, I'll mail it to you."
"Thank you so much."
"No need to thank me, we're all from the same village, it's only right to help each other out."
Fang Jie was about to leave when Song Guoqiang called her back.
Fang Jie: "Is there anything else, Captain?"
