Chapter 1012: The Hongmen Banquet (Part 3)
"Please both of you peel the yams. We'll need them when we stew the chicken later." Lu Xiaoxiao pointed to the yams piled in the corner and said:
"Can that thing called yam be eaten? It looks so ugly, and I've never eaten it before." Lu Tiantian said with disgust as she looked at the yams piled in the corner.
"You can eat it. Yams not only make you full, but are also good for your health. I survived last winter by eating yams."
"Xiaoxiao, let me peel the yam. Tiantian and Mengmeng have never done housework. It would be a shame if they ruined the yam." Zheng Xiangmei didn't want her two daughters to touch the dirty yam, so she spoke to Lu Xiaoxiao.
After hearing what Zheng Xiangmei said, Lu Xiaoxiao looked at Zheng Xiangmei with an embarrassed face and said, "Aunt, you are going to kill a chicken soon. If you wait until you kill the chicken to get the yam, it will be too late."
When Lu Mengmeng saw that Zheng Xiangmei was speechless after being scolded by Lu Xiaoxiao, she quickly said, "Mom, let Tiantian and I take care of the yam. Although we have never done it before, it should be the same as peeling radish. Tiantian and I can handle it."
Zheng Xiangmei knew that today's job of peeling the yam could only be given to her two daughters, so she looked at Lu Tiantian and Lu Mengmeng with a distressed look on her face and said, "You two should be careful when peeling the yams later, and don't hurt your hands."
"We understand." After Lu Tiantian and Lu Mengmeng finished talking, they walked towards the yard holding the yam.
"Mengmeng, mom just said she was going to deal with the yam skin. Why do you want us to do it? I don't want to deal with this dirty stuff at all." Lu Tiantian said after throwing the yam on the ground.
"Didn't you see that Lu Xiaoxiao just made Mom speechless? If I hadn't said that we were going to get yams, Mom would have lost face in front of Lu Xiaoxiao.
What's more, Lu Xiaoxiao clearly wanted us to peel the yams, so no matter how we try to shirk, Lu Xiaoxiao will find a way to push this job onto us. In this case, we might as well take the yams to the yard to peel them. Besides, Lu Xiaoxiao didn't ask us to peel all the yams, so we can just take our time and don't rush."
After hearing what Lu Mengmeng said, Lu Tiantian immediately smiled happily and said, "Mengmeng, you are really amazing. You easily resolved the trick that little bitch Lu Xiaoxiao used against us."
"When you curse, keep your voice down. If Lu Xiaoxiao hears it by accident, who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause."
"I see."
What Lu Tiantian and Lu Mengmeng didn't know was that Lu Xiaoxiao didn't expect them to get much yams at all. The reason why she asked them to get yams was just to make them itchy and teach them a lesson to see if they dared to scold her with those ugly words in the future.
"Mom, our hands are so itchy." Lu Tiantian and Lu Mengmeng had just been working with yam for a while when they felt their hands were extremely itchy. At first they thought it was the mucus from the yam that made their hands itchy, but after they washed their hands their hands were still itchy, so they immediately ran to the kitchen to find Zheng Xiangmei.
After hearing what sisters Lu Tiantian and Lu Mengmeng said, Zheng Xiangmei immediately put down what she was doing, then quickly stood up, walked up to them, grabbed their hands to check, but after looking for a long time, she could not see anything except the red marks on their hands.
