Xiao Youchen watched Xiao Shuangning eating with gusto and swallowed hard, but he did not satisfy his craving with the fried egg in his bowl. Instead, he climbed down from the stool and transferred the fried egg to Shumei's bowl.
Shumei looked at the fried eggs in the bowl and opened her mouth in shock, "This——"
"Mom, you work so hard to take care of me and my sister, you eat! I don't want to eat fried eggs today." After saying this, Xiao Youchen returned to his seat with the bowl of noodles, lowered his head and ate the noodles slurpingly.
Shumei really didn't know what to say. Little Youchen really made her worry-free and so sensible. She felt that her hard work was worth it and now she had received the reward.
She looked at the fried eggs in the bowl and really couldn't bear to put them back. This was the innocent heart of a child.
As she was looking at the fried egg in the bowl and sighing, Xiao Shuangning pushed the remaining fried egg into Xiao Youchen's bowl, "Brother, Mom has worked hard, Mom will eat one. We are brother and sister, I can't be the only one eating it, let's each have half, eat it quickly! It won't taste good if it gets cold. If you don't eat it, I will be angry!"
Under Xiao Shuangning's coercion and inducement, Xiao Youchen smiled and put half of the fried egg into his mouth. The two smiled at each other and started eating noodles happily.
Seeing this, Shumei put the poached egg in the bowl into her mouth. The poached egg tasted so sweet, the taste of love. Even with Coptis chinensis in her mouth, her heart was sweet.
Wu Ju came running with a large group of people, kicked open the gate and walked towards the main hall.
"You old fool, I knew you must be here. You run around the village all day long. If you really get kidnapped one day, I will be happy to have some free time." As soon as Wu Ju entered the door, she twisted Zhang Binglin's ear and cursed.
The two children were so scared that they climbed down from the stool and hid behind the door.
Seeing this, Shumei quickly stood up from the stool and greeted her with a smile, "Mother, you're here! Have you eaten? If not, sit down and have something to eat!"
Only then did Wu Ju see the fried egg noodles on the table, her eyes widened with anger, "Hey! You complain about being poor in front of me every day, but I didn't expect that you can live a comfortable life eating white flour and eggs!" She said with a hint of meaning.
The reason why Wu Ju ate at home before coming here was because she knew what the food was like at Shumei's house. To put it bluntly, it was not food for human consumption.
Who could have known that it was such a coincidence that I finally managed to cook a decent dinner, only to be confronted by her sarcastic and mean nature.
Shumei understood the implication of her words and quickly gave an awkward smile. "Dad is coming over, and I thought he used to love this, so I made some. Mom, can I get him a bowl?"
Wu Ju was stunned for a moment, thinking it would be a waste not to eat it.
She sat down on the stool without saying a word.
Shumei immediately understood what she meant, and hurried to the kitchen to make her a bowl of soup, adding oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and then placed it in front of her with both hands.
Everyone was enjoying the meal, but Wu Ju's arrival made the atmosphere suddenly heavy.
Wu Ju ate with relish. Although her throat was already bloated, she was still unwilling to give up the delicious noodles in the bowl.
Shumei knew very well that as a daughter-in-law, she should not speak ill of her mother-in-law in front of her, but she was really worried about Zhang Binglin.
She couldn't take care of Zhang Binglin at the same time, and if this continued, something might happen.
"Mom, Dad is sick. In the future, you should try to go out less when you have nothing to do! Dad is running around alone and can't find the way home. I'm afraid something will happen to him. It will be too late for us to regret it." Shumei said tremblingly.
Wu Ju got angry when she heard this and slammed her chopsticks on the table. "Haha, you've lost your temper! How dare you criticize me? I'm a grown man, how can I stay at home with him like an idiot all day? You sound so righteous. If you have the guts, just bring him home and keep him as a worshipper! Nothing will happen under your nose. The food and drinks are so good, it's better than at home."
"Mother, you know you're losing. I'm so busy every day, and I have two children. I spend most of the day working in the fields, so I really can't take care of Dad."
"Then you are talking without any pain in your back. You can't even take care of it. Do I have three heads and six arms, clairvoyance and super hearing, and know what he has done and where he is at all times?"
Wu Ju's words were so sharp that Shumei was speechless. She lowered her head and said nothing more.
Seeing Shumei stopped talking, Wu Ju continued, "Do you have any other opinions? If so, please raise them. We can discuss this properly. Otherwise, if outsiders find out, they'll think I'm a tyrannical mother-in-law who insists on doing things my own way without consulting anyone."
