Before the sun set, the twins came over, each carrying a basket of pig grass on their backs.
Minghao saw his sister cleaning the snails, and immediately remembered what his sister had said before about the spicy snails. He quickly put down the basket and ran while shouting, "Sister, don't move, put it down and let me do it."
When Li Mengyue heard her brother's words, she shook the water off her hands and said, "Wash it clean."
"Don't worry, sister."
The other members of the Li family didn't think much of it when they saw that Li Mengyue was willing to spend time fiddling with such an insignificant little thing in the river.
Especially Old Lady Li, she felt that Li Mengyue, a rich girl over ten years old, was nothing special. Even farmers would not eat her food and treated her like a treasure.
While Li Mengyue was cooking snails, someone outside the kitchen made a sarcastic remark: "Oh, it turns out that lowly people are only fit to eat lowly things. I didn't expect that there are still people who treasure things that no one else wants. It's really hilarious."
Li Mengyue hadn't cooked for a long time, and the pot in the Li family's kitchen was still a clay stove. She had used advanced kitchen appliances before, and she was not used to it yet. She was feeling annoyed when she heard old lady Li mumbling, and she found a place to vent her anger.
"If you don't want to eat, just get out." Li Mengyue said coldly.
Old Lady Li looked at Li Mengyue's cold eyes, cowered and whispered, "I won't leave, what can you do to me?"
That night, Li Mengyue ate the spicy snails she had been craving for. The pure natural snails had firm meat, and with the unique spicy flavor of dogwood, they tasted spicy and refreshing. It was truly a rare snack.
It’s just that when Old Lady Li saw how delicious the second wife’s family ate steamed bread, she suddenly felt that eating steamed bread every day was tasteless, and she also wanted to try it.
However, before his chopsticks touched her, he retracted them due to Li Mengyue's cold eyes.
The second wife's family had Li Mengyue's protection, so she didn't dare to cause trouble openly. She didn't have so many scruples about the first wife's family. She yelled at Li Hai's two daughters, Li Rou and Li Qiao, "What are you going to eat, you money-loser?"
After Mrs. Li finished speaking, the two girls sitting in the corner of the table, who were enjoying their meal, suddenly stopped eating and almost buried their heads in their bowls with fear.
Seeing her mother-in-law getting angry, Wang also stammered and dared not pick up her chopsticks.
Only Li Hai was concentrating on eating and didn't notice anything wrong.
In fact, when Li Mengyue first came to the Li family, she had already discovered the two little girls. They were kept timidly by their parents and would get up before dawn to work with their mother, Wang.
From morning till night, every meal consisted of a bowl of porridge so thick you could see your reflection in it, and only a fist-sized steamed bread a day, leaving him as skinny as a bamboo pole. Sometimes, when Li Mengyue saw the two of them, she felt as if a gust of wind would blow them away.
Uncle Li Hai is a very honest man. In addition, he has two daughters, so he is not favored by old man Li. Now he has even less attention for his eldest son.
What makes people speechless is that Li Hai is always working hard and doesn't care about the life and death of his wife and two daughters.
No matter what, she is the eldest daughter of the wife. Not to mention that it is inconvenient for Li Mengyue as a niece to interfere, even if it is possible, everyone has their own destiny and she doesn't want to interfere.
Although Old Lady Li was a bit disappointed with the meal, Li Mengyue enjoyed the meal overall, and even the system ate a lot.
While eating, Li Mengyue focused her attention on the little girl, and saw the adorable little dumpling Shashasha jumping up and down.
[Sigh, Sigh, so spicy.]
【Don’t eat spicy food.】
"Awooo, Suku, no, I love it. It's so delicious. We can eat it again in a few days, okay?"
If she didn't know what Xiantong looked like, Li Mengyue would have rejected him directly and cruelly, but ever since she saw that Xiantong was so cute and adorable, she always felt a little soft-hearted when facing Xiantong.
