"Then why don't you go and eat it? You're making me eat vegetables that's stained with manure! Are you my enemy?" Sister Niu Er cursed.
"That's settled then. You don't like eating feces, so even if you soak it in water, you still won't eat it. My sister-in-law doesn't like eating chili peppers, so why should she soak them in water and eat them? If you don't want to, then let my sister-in-law do it. The house you live in was built with my sister-in-law's money!" Ya Dan retorted sarcastically.
She really couldn't understand whether her two older sisters had lost their minds. They wanted to ask their younger brother for money, and their appetite was huge. They didn't even try to please their sister-in-law. To put it bluntly, even beggars should have a smile on their face. Going to beg like a big shot, who would pay attention to you!
Tie Dan's mother looked embarrassed and felt even more guilty. She regretted it. Actually, she wasn't a mean person. Compared to many wicked mothers-in-law in the village, she was quite open-minded.
However, her living environment and values were vastly different from Tang Yuanyuan's, so conflicts and contradictions were inevitable. In addition, with her daughter and daughter-in-law stirring things up, she became increasingly resentful of Tang Yuanyuan, always feeling that Tang Yuanyuan had taken her son away and wouldn't let her youngest son come home to see her. The more she thought this way, the more resentful she became, and naturally, she ended up doing some irrational things.
Now that Ya Dan had scolded her, she regretted it. No matter what, she shouldn't have tampered with the food. It was the welcoming banquet on the first day, and she made sure her daughter-in-law, who had come from afar, didn't get to eat. She was really wrong, and her little girl was right.
Roubao rolled her bright black eyes and picked up a piece of stir-fried pork with chili peppers. Her tastes were similar to her mother's. If she could eat it, her mother could eat it too, so her aunt and grandmother wouldn't quarrel.
"Ouch...it hurts...Daddy...it hurts..."
Roubao suddenly burst into tears, reaching out her arms for Tiedan to hold her. It was too spicy; her tongue was burning off. Her little mouth was bright red, like she had applied rouge, and her eyes were brimming with tears.
Everyone was startled. Tie Dan quickly picked up his daughter and worriedly checked if she had broken a tooth. Rou Bao had once almost broken a tooth while gnawing on a bone, and cried terribly in the same way.
"It hurts...it hurts, Mommy hurts too..."
The meat bun was so spicy she couldn't speak. She had already tested it; her mother couldn't eat these dishes, or she would feel the same pain as her.
"Little sister ate this, it's so spicy." Roubing took the meat that Roubao had spat out from the table and showed it to Tiedan.
Tie Dan was relieved that she hadn't broken a tooth, but he was still worried about his daughter. His mother had put in so much chili, how could his daughter possibly handle it? Tie Dan's mother panicked and poured some iced cola from the refrigerator.
"It won't be spicy after drinking it."
"Mom, meat buns can't drink cola, I'll go get some water." Tie Dan stopped his mother.
Tang Yuanyuan never lets her children drink store-bought beverages; she only lets them drink homemade juices. In the summer, they drink plum juice, mung bean soup, or white fungus soup. She doesn't even let her two children touch cola or Sprite.
"Why can't we drink Coke? Your nephews have been drinking it since they were little." Tie Dan's mother was unhappy. The kids are already so spicy, why are you still being so picky?
The eldest and second eldest sons' children couldn't even get a Coke when they were little, but now that conditions are better, they drink it like tea every day and they've grown up very strong.
That's why she doesn't like glutinous rice balls. They're too picky. This can't be eaten, that can't be made. In the end, it's because she looks down on people from the countryside.
"Children really shouldn't drink cola. It's junk food and it can affect their physical development."
Ya Dan poured some herbal tea, and Rou Bao drank a big cup. It wasn't spicy anymore, so she nestled sadly in Tie Dan's arms, sobbing and whimpering, still reminding him, "Spicy...Mommy hurts..."
