Yang Suxian estimated the time; several tens of minutes had passed and Shi Tou still hadn't returned, and her face showed even more impatience and disdain.
"As expected, he's a wild child. He doesn't even know his own name anymore. Don't just sit here idly. I haven't eaten a single bite after sitting in the car all day. Go to the kitchen and cook for me."
There's no need to worry about whether Shi Tou comes back or not. Anyway, there are people taking care of this place. We don't have to worry about food and clothing, and even schooling is free. It's much better than the countryside.
This little brat is quite lucky to have become his son's child. If it were anyone else, he would have starved to death at such a young age, having caused his own mother's death.
Lu Jie was unwilling. When she was alone, she could make do with whatever she could, but this old woman was picky and fussy. She wanted food that was too oily and salty, and the two of them couldn't eat together. After a while, she also found Yang Suxian difficult to please.
But when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. She rolled up one sleeve and headed toward the kitchen. "What would you like to eat? I'll go make it now."
Xiao Xueyi lost his father when he was a teenager, and Yang Suxian raised him single-handedly. Xiao Xueyi was very filial to her, so Lü Jie could only put on a good show.
“My son works so hard to earn money. I can manage on my own. If you ask me, you shouldn’t be so extravagant with your money. My son earns his money with his life on the line. You, as a woman, should be understanding of his hard work.”
Yang Suxian's incessant chatter came from behind. Lü Jie felt like she was going crazy. She had trouble breathing. She went to the kitchen, opened the window, and took two deep breaths before she finally calmed down a bit.
However, Yang Suxian outside the door still showed no sign of stopping.
"Do you even know how to cook? These vegetable leaves are just a little yellow, it's not like they're inedible. Back when you were in the countryside, you used to pick up these rotten vegetable leaves to eat. Now that you're married to my son, you've become picky."
She rushed forward, picked up the vegetable leaves that Lü Jie had thrown into the trash can, and put them back into the vegetable basin.
After she finished speaking, she carefully took out a piece of paper from the inner pocket of her pants.
"By the way, take a look at this. This is a prescription given by the old doctor in Shifang Village. Just take this medicine, and after Xueyi comes back, mix it with his urine. You'll get pregnant in less than a month, and I guarantee it will be a son."
Lu Jie trembled all over, so angry that she could barely hold the kitchen knife. She gripped the knife tightly several times, wishing she could chop the old woman in front of her, but the thought would quickly fizzle out.
Ultimately, she didn't have the courage.
"Mom, where did you hear this nonsense again? You can't just take these folk remedies; they can kill you."
Yang Suxian was a little unhappy, but forcefully stuffed the prescription into her pocket. "This prescription is very effective. I've already inquired beforehand. Many women in our village used this prescription to conceive sons. Besides, I spent a lot of money to buy it. Don't be ungrateful."
Lu Jie felt as if all the blood in her body had frozen. She abruptly put down the knife, not wanting to lower herself to the old woman any longer, when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
"Sister-in-law Lü, are you home?"
"Lu Jie, I just saw you and your mother-in-law come back. Do you need any help arranging the room?"
