Cao Erdan roared, "I caught it myself, can't I even eat it! If I don't care about myself, who else do I have to care about!"
Cao Sanniang threw down her knife in anger, "So what if I caught a pheasant? Look how smug you are! Yelling at your mother like that, who spoiled you? You have no filial piety at all! Is this how I raised you? You're so rebellious at such a young age!"
Cao Erdan wasn't about to back down either. He raised his chin, his face stern, and said, "Don't you know what you've taught me all this time? Haven't I been filial enough to you? And how have you treated me? You swindled all my money and used it as your filial piety money to support others! My sister and I are starving! Is this how you treat other people's mothers? I don't care, we're killing a chicken and cooking it today! If you don't want to eat, then get out of here!"
An angry person often suddenly becomes very strong and has a powerful burst of energy.
Cao Erdan was in a similar situation. He originally wanted to catch the chicken himself and ask his mother for help because he was too small to handle it. But now, in his anger, he didn't want his mother's help anymore and decided to do it himself!
Once a person's potential is unleashed, it can be quite terrifying!
Cao Erdan actually managed to do the job that usually requires two people working together, and cleanly and efficiently slaughtered the chicken!
Cao San Niang tried to stop them several times. She didn't want to kill the chicken. This chicken was so rare. She would keep it for a while and then give it to her mother to celebrate her birthday. That would be so prestigious!
It's no big deal if they don't eat; they've always managed like this, and they can survive without food!
But it's a different story when you give it to someone else!
Others will think more highly of her and treat her better, which is very helpful in improving her interpersonal relationships!
It's that silly son of hers who always thinks she's hiding things from others. Isn't she doing all this for the family?
I want my home to be better off, and also to feel more integrated into the village!
That brat is so stubborn!
She tried to stop him from killing the chicken, but he raised his knife and glared at her fiercely!
She dared not say another word, fearing that the knife would not be aimed at the chicken's neck but would instead turn towards her!
Angry people are best left alone; it's best to keep quiet for now!
Cao Erdan was really angry. The pent-up resentment had finally erupted, and he was unwilling to back down an inch!
His mother's words are not to be trusted!
My mouth is a liar's mouth!
He doesn't care about the future; he only knows what he wants right now!
The future is too far away for this little kid; he just wants to have something to eat right now and have a good meal!
Don't be fooled by his busy schedule and seemingly constant income; that's just a facade. In reality, he's penniless and lives like a beggar every day!
My mother clearly promised that she would buy some rice and cook it after I gave her the money so that we could have a better life, but that was a lie!
I never saw the promise fulfilled!
My mother still tried to cheat, saying that she didn't have enough money and needed more to make up the difference!
Deceiving me again and again!
He wouldn't have given his sister a single penny if he hadn't seen her crying from hunger!
I've really disappointed him!
If there's anything of value or useful in the house, they won't think about letting their own children enjoy it; their first thought will be who to give it to!
He didn't know what benefits he gained from pleasing others, but he knew he gained absolutely nothing!
So this time, we absolutely have to kill the chicken and stew it to eat!
No one can stop him!
Even my own mother wouldn't do it!
Seeing Cao Erdan's fierce expression, Cao Sanniang hesitated several times before finally sitting down and waiting to eat.
Surely we can't refuse to give her food, right? If we don't, we'll use the excuse of filial piety to pressure her!
Cao Erdan felt very sad and distressed. He thought that having such an unreliable mother was definitely God's punishment for him!
He had to struggle to survive at such a young age, and all the money he worked so hard for was swindled away!
Cao San Niang felt no guilt or unease at all. She was even happily thinking about how much chicken she would eat later. Uh, such delicious chicken, who should she give some to?
Cao Erdan didn't say another word, his face puffed up with anger, as if Cao Sanniang would explode if she said another word.
Fueled by a surge of anger, Cao Erdan chopped the chicken quite smoothly. He didn't know how to stew it because he had never stewed it before and rarely had the chance to do so, so he stewed it entirely according to his own preferences!
Anyway, it's ready to eat once it's cooked; the process doesn't matter!
Just put the chicken in a pot of water, cover it, and start a fire.
Oh, it seems the Mo family likes to add some ginger wine or something, so he also added some, and then while tending the fire, he looked forward to eating delicious chicken!
Worried that his mother might call his sister away and cause some trouble, Cao Erdan immediately called his sister over, ostensibly to help watch the fire!
Fortunately, the younger sister was sensible and willing to help. She sat obediently next to Cao Erdan and diligently added firewood to watch the fire!
"Brother, it smells so good! This chicken smells amazing!"
"Then you should drink two more bowls later! I'll save two more bowls for you to drink tonight!"
"Thank you, brother! Does Mom want some too? Will she take all the chicken soup away?"
"No way! If she dares to do that, I won't bring back any good food from now on. I'll sneak you out, eat it, and then come back!"
"Yes! Mother went too far before!"
Cao Sanniang was squatting in the corner of the wall. She was furious when she heard the conversation, but she held back and didn't argue.
They're all their own kids, how could they possibly cause trouble!
A few words are enough to subdue them!
She's still their mother, so even if I stew chicken, she still has to obediently come and call her to eat!
Unfortunately, Cao Erdan was truly angry this time. After the stew was cooked, he didn't call Cao Sanniang to eat. Instead, he ladled out a bowl and the two siblings ate it by themselves.
Everything else is fake; let's eat first. Even if the sky falls, nothing can stop their determination to eat meat and drink soup!
Cao San Niang thought it was about time, so she pretended to wait in the courtyard, thinking that she would put on airs later and not let those brats bully her!
After waiting for a long time, she didn't hear any sound, and no one came out to call her to eat!
She was puzzled. Was it not cooked yet?
Is that pheasant that old? Why does it need to be stewed for so long?
She wanted to go and see, but her pride wouldn't allow her to!
Cao San Niang waited like that until she couldn't wait any longer, and then she went over to take a look.
I didn't know until I looked, and when I did, ugh, I was so angry I jumped up and down!
Those two brats were secretly eating meat and drinking soup behind her back!
She didn't even call her to come and eat!
When Cao Erdan saw his mother arrive, he glanced at her, then lowered his head and continued eating, ignoring her completely!
Cao San Niang was furious and couldn't hold back any longer. She put her hands on her hips and unleashed a torrent of words, spittle flying everywhere!
Cao Erdan patted his frightened sister beside him, "We left her some food, don't feel guilty! Let's eat, don't worry about her! Look how much she's cursing, she must still be full! We're starving, let's eat first, shut your ears and eat well!"
The brother and sister continued eating as if nothing had happened, which made Cao San Niang even angrier. They didn't even respect her!
Giving birth to them would be worse than giving birth to a piece of barbecued pork!
"Little sister, you're full. Let's go wash the pots and pans!"
"Move aside! You can continue your cursing after we leave!"
