Lin Shufang overheard this and deliberately smiled at the old man, saying, "Dad, I want to teach Xiaotong math. Xiaotong will come to our house often in the future, so I'll give her an extra three hundred yuan a month for living expenses!"
Ye Qingqing didn't know what to say, but Lin Shufang gave her a wink, signaling her not to say anything.
Grandpa Lu was displeased. "Why pay money? It's just adding another mouth to feed. How much can a child eat?"
Yue Hongxia was extremely anxious and couldn't help but say, "A half-grown boy can eat his father out of house and home! Xiaotong is the biggest eater at this age, he can't possibly eat just a bite or two!"
She could tolerate letting that brat Ye Qingqing freeload, but for the sake of the property, she would put up with it!
Why should we let fools eat and drink for free?
Her family pays 500 yuan a month for living expenses, why should this fool get the benefit!
When Ye Tong heard his name called, he thought Yue Hongxia was calling him. He looked up and smiled sweetly at her, his little mouth covered in oil. Yue Hongxia rolled her eyes in disgust. She found it annoying to see idiots, especially one who ate so much.
Ye Tong pouted, looking up at his sister. Ye Qingqing patted his head and whispered, "Isn't Aunt Fang's steamed ribs delicious?"
"Delicious..." Ye Tong nodded vigorously; he could eat a lot!
Lin Shufang deliberately picked up several pieces of pork ribs and put them all in Ye Tong's bowl, saying, "Eat as much as you like, Auntie will steam more for you later."
Yue Hongxia originally wanted to pick up some ribs, but she was a step too late. The biggest piece she had her eye on was taken away by Lin Shufang, which made her stomach ache and her face turn pale with anger.
Grandpa Lu really disapproved of his second daughter-in-law's stinginess. It was just a few meals, yet she had to be so calculating about even a small child. She only received 500 yuan a month for living expenses, yet she was waited on hand and foot every day, living like a master and mistress.
It's time to talk to the second child about moving.
Out of sight, out of mind; just looking at that second son's wife is so annoying!
"Don't talk while eating or sleeping, eat!" The old man gave Yue Hongxia a stern look, these words were meant for her.
Yue Hongxia shut her mouth reluctantly, planning to talk to her husband that evening about whether to reduce their living expenses by 100 yuan, since 500 yuan was too much!
After the meal, Ye Qingqing helped Lin Shufang clear the dishes, while Yue Hongxia spread her hands, preparing to go back to her room for a nap. The old man coughed heavily and stared intently at her.
"I have to go to work this afternoon..." Yue Hongxia explained.
Lin Shufang opened her mouth to say "no need," but Ye Qingqing gently squeezed her hand and shook her head slightly. Even if you did everything for Yue Hongxia, she wouldn't be grateful; instead, she would take it for granted.
"Don't eat if you don't clean up!" the old man said bluntly.
Yue Hongxia didn't dare to argue, so she could only clear the dishes. Ye Qingqing's eyes darted around, and she said with a smile, "Second Aunt is the most capable. She'll definitely clean the kitchen spotless. Aunt Fang, you can go take a nap without worry!"
Lin Shufang felt a little embarrassed and wanted to stay and help tidy up, but Ye Qingqing dragged her away. She even turned back and winked at Grandpa Lu, who smiled and shook his head, looking very pleased.
The eldest son's wife is good, but she's too timid. Luckily, she has Qingqing to help her, so she won't be bullied anymore!
Ye Qingqing left Xiaotong at the Lu family home without saying she was going to gather herbs. She only said she was going out to buy some things. Lin Shufang told her to play a little longer, and that she would take care of Yetong.
After leaving the military compound, Ye Qingqing asked Pipi, "Where are we going to gather herbs?"
“Niushou Mountain, there are many medicinal herbs there.” Pipi already had an idea.
The largest mountain in Pingjiang City is Niushou Mountain. The outer perimeter of the mountain is not particularly interesting, but there are quite a few good things to see if you go further in.
