She couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and put them on the plate of ribs.
But she suddenly noticed three different pairs of eyes staring at her. The hand holding the chopsticks froze. She slowly raised her eyes and asked, "You...you guys are eating?"
Jiang Dongfang was the first to react. Seeing that she didn't look as angry as his younger brother said, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Eat! Let's all eat! Yingying, eat more. You're going to school tomorrow, and the food there won't be as good as at home. But your uncle said he'll let your third brother cook for you in the future. His cooking skills are not good, so it's better not to do it. Otherwise, he'll blow up the kitchen."
"I've discussed it with your aunt. From now on, we'll deliver meals to you once a week. Just tell us what you want to eat in advance, and we'll make it and deliver it to you. Or you can have your aunt come into town every week and cook it at the house you rent."
"I can make some more so you can eat it in the next few days."
Jiang Wanying took a bite of the spareribs, her uncle's words lingering in her ears. She felt indescribably moved for a moment. In such an era, being able to eat enough was already a luxury, but these elders who loved her were still worried that she didn't eat well enough. She would try her best to repay this kindness on behalf of her master with her own life.
"Uncle and aunt, I know you love me, but I can take care of myself. For something as simple as eating, you don't have to go to such great lengths to get me. As the saying goes, 'Those who endure the most hardships become the best!' I appreciate your kindness, but I've grown up now and can handle things on my own. I hope you can trust me, too."
After hearing these words, Xu Hongping burst into tears. She hugged Jiang Wanying's head with relief, "My Yingying... has really grown up... grown up!"
"If Shu Yue is still alive, she will be relieved!"
Mentioning his deceased sister, Jiang Dongfang took a sip of wine gloomily. Although his mistress had been playful and spoiled over the years, she had a kind heart, so the Jiang family had never blamed her. They only hoped that she could grow up without worries.
But now she has really changed, and the change is huge, which makes them not know whether to be happy or sad.
Once a child becomes sensible, it means that she will no longer vent all her emotions, but will endure and swallow her grievances. In fact, this is what makes them feel even more distressed.
But if we allow her to indulge her arrogant nature, she will definitely suffer when she gets married in the future.
So it's neither good nor bad for her to change.
Jiang Wanying tilted her head back, raised her hand to wipe the tears from Xu Hongping's eyes, and said comfortingly, "Aunt, don't cry. Crying too much will make you old!"
Xu Hongping burst into laughter, "You've grown up so much, how can your aunt not age?"
"My aunt is still young! When my brothers get married, I'm afraid they'll need you to help take care of the children!"
"No matter how old your aunt is, she can still take care of your children!" Xu Hongping has few children, but in her heart, Jiang Wanying and Jiang Huaichuan are like her own children.
Jiang Xiangbei didn't dare to interrupt easily. When Jiang Wanying wanted to get another bowl of rice, he immediately snatched the bowl away and filled it up for her. "Yingying, don't you want to know about Liu Xi's father's condition? His father is being treated in our hospital now..."
