Zhang Juhua's voice suddenly entered the kitchen from the doorway, causing the smiles on the faces of the grandmother and granddaughter, who were laughing and joking, to freeze.
"Aunt Zhang? It's nothing, just that her child is being filial and making funny faces to amuse me," Yun Qi said indifferently, her smile fading.
This Zhang Juhua is the most gossipy person. She keeps saying that it's all thanks to her that Yun Duo was saved, otherwise Yun Duo would still be suffering in the fire pit. If it weren't for the fact that her husband's family are native to Lujia Village and have more farmland than outsiders like them, and that she is from the same village as the village chief's wife, Yun Qi would really not want to pay any attention to her.
"What a filial child! She knows you love her, so she's trying to make you happy."
"Speaking of which, it's Duo's good fortune. I remember how hard Duo's life was before. Even as an outsider, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her... You don't know, sometimes at night, thinking about what she went through, I would cry twice. I just felt, how could this girl have such a hard life?"
"Now it's all right. Duo listened to my advice, struggled and resisted for a while, and with you and Uncle Yun protecting her, she's come back to life, hasn't she?"
"Not only have you been given a second chance at life, but you've also been blessed with good fortune. Every now and then, you can bring back some wild game or something to enjoy. Even Aunt Qi and Uncle Yun have benefited from this. Now, everyone in the village envies your life!"
"Even the village chief's family during the Spring Festival can't compare to how much you're willing to spend."
As Zhang Juhua spoke, she took another deep sniff, secretly swallowed, and then continued, "It smells so good! What kind of meat is Auntie making? It smells so delicious, it makes my mouth water. Did Duo'er pick this up again?"
As she spoke, Zhang Juhua could hardly hide her jealousy.
It's really strange, what kind of luck did this girl have? She suddenly encountered a benefactor who helped her, and she also got the support of the county magistrate and the Lin family in town. Not to mention, she went out to collect firewood just like everyone else, but why is it that she's the only one who can find pheasants, wild rabbits and the like?
Could it be that those pheasants and rabbits were possessed by evil spirits? Why were they deliberately crowding around her, hoping she would pick them up?
Thinking this, Zhang Juhua couldn't help but look at Yunduo sitting in front of the stove, tending the fire.
Hearing Zhang Juhua's question and seeing her staring intently at her granddaughter, Yun Qishi felt even more displeased. She immediately said, "Our old man was lucky today. He saw two rabbits running by one after the other. He hit one with his hoe, and the other was so frightened that it ran into the embankment and fainted." She then asked, "Aunt Zhang, what brings you here?"
Of course she's here to eat! Didn't you see she was even carrying a bowl and chopsticks?
Those old man and that little brat are no good either. I helped Yun Duo so much! If it weren't for me, that brat Yun Duo would probably be dead by one of Yang Youfu's stupid sons by now. They're such ungrateful wretches. They don't even know how to thank me.
Their luck turned around, and they ate meat every now and then, forgetting their benefactor.
They never offer to treat me to a meal, nor do they ever give me anything as a token of their gratitude!
She's been here for ages, said so much, but hasn't even once offered to let him eat here. He won't even take any rice from their pot, just some vegetables are enough! Does he think she didn't see it? Such a big rabbit, and it can't be left out in this weather. With only two old folks and one little one, how can they possibly finish it!
