Chapter 714: Feeling Unhappy (Page 1/2)
Lin Man carefully placed the newly cultivated Clivia into a spacious large flowerpot.
She gently cultivated the soil and watered the plants, as if they were precious treasures.
After completing the planting, Lin Man picked up the flowerpot with difficulty and left the space. She opened the door and slowly walked into the living room, placing it in a conspicuous place.
Then her eyes fell on the pot of lollipop roses in the corner, which was originally cared for by the children but whose leaves had turned yellow.
Sighing, Lin Man shook her head helplessly, reached out to pick up the pot of roses and put it back into the space, thinking that she would take good care of it when she had free time.
Looking at the clock on the wall, Lin Man realized that it was already late and it was time to prepare a hearty lunch for the children.
Remembering that she bought a bunch of fresh and juicy Chinese toon at the supply and marketing cooperative this morning, she decided to use these first-harvest Chinese toon to fry eggs.
Although she was not sure whether the children would like this unique taste, she did not bother to think about it at the moment, because she quite liked eating toon fried eggs.
Then, Lin Man turned and walked into the kitchen, and skillfully processed the two kilograms of live shrimp and a fat sea bass that she had fished out from the space.
She was going to make steamed sea bass and blanched prawns, and she would save the spare ribs and fragrant braised pig ears she bought at the supply and marketing cooperative in the morning to enjoy slowly in the evening.
Just as Lin Man put the cleaned sea bass into the pot and started steaming it, a crisp sound of footsteps was heard.
It turned out to be Song Jingjing walking towards them, holding her youngest son, Huo Yifei. Lin Man couldn't help but feel a little surprised, wondering why she suddenly came over at this time. Could it be that she needed help with something?
Song Jingjing, with a bright smile on her face, walked lightly to the kitchen door and greeted her warmly, "Sister-in-law, so you are busy cooking?"
"My sister-in-law is here. Please come in and sit down!" Lin Man politely invited Song Jingjing to come in and sit down.
The fish was steaming in the pot for twelve minutes, so she didn't need to worry about it for now. She believed that Song Jingjing would be back soon, as she had never come to their house to eat alone.
Song Jingjing took her son's hand and slowly walked into the house. They both sat down heavily on the soft sofa, looking a little tired.
As soon as Lin Man entered the house, she went back to her room and came out with a fruit plate filled with various snacks.
She gently placed the fruit plate on the coffee table in the middle of the living room, then greeted Huo Yifei enthusiastically: "Fei Fei, there are delicious candies and biscuits in here. Just take a look and help yourself to whatever you like."
Hearing this, Huo Yifei quickly stood up and respectfully thanked Lin Man: "Thank you, aunt!"
Seeing this scene, Lin Man showed a relieved smile on her face. She walked forward, gently stretched out her hand to rub Huo Yifei's little head, and gently praised: "What a good child!"
At this time, Huo Yifei lowered his head a little embarrassedly, with a faint blush on his face, looking particularly shy and cute.
Seeing this scene, Song Jingjing couldn't help but feel very surprised and astonished.
You know, on weekdays at home, my son has never been so polite and shy!
Could it be that this little guy has two completely different faces? Thinking of this, Song Jingjing couldn't help but shake her head, secretly amused.

Her children actually kissed her eldest sister-in-law, and her eldest sister-in-law had never taken care of them for a single day.
At the same time, Lin Man also sat down on the sofa, but she did not rush to ask Song Jingjing why she came here. Instead, she calmly grabbed a beautifully packaged candy from the fruit plate, carefully peeled off the candy wrapper, and handed it to Huo Yifei.
Huo Yifei took the candy with great joy, put it in his mouth and savored it carefully. He looked so satisfied as if the only thing left in the whole world was this extremely sweet candy.
Just like that, Song Jingjing silently watched her little son, seeing him smiling like an innocent little fool because he got a small piece of candy, and a feeling of loss surged in her heart.
"Sister-in-law, it seems that my Feifei likes you very much. How about giving you as a son?"
Lin Man didn't expect Song Jingjing to say such inexplicable words. Fortunately, Huo Yifei was still young and didn't take it too seriously. If she grew up, wouldn't she be courting death?
What kind of mother would send her child away and give him to someone else to be a son in front of her child? Doesn’t she know that this will hurt the child’s young heart?
"Sister-in-law, you are Feifei's mother. You carried him for ten months and gave birth to him. You are the person he loves most. Feifei, please tell your aunt, okay?"
Huo Yifei hesitated for a moment and said, "I like grandma and grandpa the most."
Lin Man didn't expect him to answer like this. This answer was really unexpected. Song Jingjing's glass heart must be broken into pieces.
As expected, Song Jingjing started to get angry. She looked at Huo Yifei with a stern face, "Fei Fei, your mother went through so much hardship to give birth to you after ten months of pregnancy, and yet you actually like your grandparents the most. You are so heartless.
How long have they taken care of you? Mom used to take care of you every day. Why don’t you put Mom first?
Huo Yifei's little mouth was pouting so hard that an oil bottle could be hung on it. He retorted with a look of grievance:
"Mom, it's obviously you who didn't want me! You sent my sister and me to live with my grandparents, so of course I like them the most!
My grandma loves me so much, she always feeds me delicious canned fruit secretly, and even cooks eggs for me personally..."
Hearing her son say this, Song Jingjing stomped her feet in anger and pointed at Huo Yifei and cursed, "Well, you heartless little brat!
Mom bought you so many delicious things before, such as White Rabbit candy, fruit leather, alphabet cookies... I can't even count them all, but you only remember the broken can your grandma gave you to eat?"
Seeing the mother and son arguing more and more fiercely and the atmosphere becoming more and more tense, Lin Man couldn't bear it anymore.
She quickly stepped forward to persuade him, "Sister-in-law, the child is still young after all, and children's words are innocent. Don't take what he said too seriously.
Oh, let's not talk about this for now. By the way, what brings you here today?"
In fact, Lin Man had no choice but to change the topic. She originally didn't plan to ask Song Jingjing actively.
She thought to herself that she just needed to wait for Song Jingjing to finish asking questions and then quickly send her away. The fish in the pot was still steaming.
