Wow, this piece of meat is so tender and smooth, slurp slurp~
This green vegetable smells so good! It's definitely delicious because it's cooked in chicken broth.
Wow, this chicken foot is so tender, the bone falls right off! It's amazing, so delicious!
...
Separated by a wall, Sanchun listened to Mrs. Lin's almost bursting with happiness on the other side, and expressed no envy whatsoever.
I'm not envious at all.
Why aren't you eating?
"But are family matters affecting you?"
Sanchun: Our ancestors were right, it really had an impact, a huge impact!
"Don't worry, you are the girls of the family. No matter what happens, it has nothing to do with you. Eat up." Grandmother Jia said, taking a couple of bites herself.
Faced with a table full of delicacies, Grandmother Jia only took a few bites before she could eat no more. It was clear that the three young girls were there and she managed to eat a few more bites.
Seeing that Grandmother Jia had taken a few bites, the three sisters also only ate a few bites themselves before putting down their chopsticks.
[Lin Baobao, you're wasting food! There are still several pieces of meat left!]
[This chicken leg is the best! Aren't you going to eat it? If not, I'll eat it.]
[You're not even going to eat the spicy duck tongue and spicy chicken feet? What a waste of food! If you won't eat them, I will.]
...
Sanchun: So Mrs. Lin, if you're going to eat, can you please eat without making a sound?
This is too torturous for them.
Waiting isn't the most agonizing thing; the most agonizing thing is not being able to see or eat it, yet your ears are still constantly receiving it.
Sanchun was incredibly relieved that no one else could hear her; she wanted to mute the mukbang streamer too!
Grandmother Jia closed her eyes to rest while waiting for Lin Daiyu, and Lin Daiyu closed her eyes to rest while waiting for Chen Ajiao.
Shen Ajiao waited for the simmering meat to cook, delicious, burp~
After a satisfying meal, Shen Ajiao patted her round belly and let out a contented sigh.
Lin Daiyu stood up gracefully and said with a smile, "Go and change your clothes quickly, lest people laugh at you."
Shen Ajiao lowered her head and sniffed the clothes. [Wow, the smell of chicken soup is so strong.]
I can't bear to part with my chicken soup for the soul.
Can I cook noodles tonight?
[Cooked glass noodles are fine too...]
After a struggle,
"Okay, I'll be right back."
When Shen Ajiao returned after washing up, Lin Daiyu had already changed her clothes.
When Lin Daiyu saw Shen Ajiao arrive, she smiled and took Shen Ajiao's arm, covering her mouth and laughing, "Madam, your makeup is a bit heavy today."
【It has to be strong! Her family isn't having a peaceful time, and we're going there happily? Wouldn't that just invite jealousy?】
Don't be fooled by my heavy eye makeup; I went all out to make myself look exhausted.
Shen Ajiao glanced at Lin Daiyu and exclaimed, "Oh dear, Lin Baobao's makeup today is so pale, it's as if she's seriously ill!"
Lin Daiyu...
"I'll help you walk."
"Ahem, watch out for the madam."
"My dear child, it breaks my heart to see you like this. How did you end up getting sick?"
Hearing the commotion, Grandmother Jia opened her eyes and saw Shen Ajiao helping Lin Daiyu in, both looking sickly.
Grandmother Jia was startled. "What's wrong, Yu'er?"
"Cough cough...Grandma is fine, it's just an old ailment, cough cough cough..."
Shen Ajiao wiped away her tears, feeling extremely heartbroken.
"This...this...my poor Yu'er."
Grandmother Jia held Lin Daiyu tightly, calling her "my darling" repeatedly. It took several attempts by Chen Ajiao to calm her down. Grandmother Jia held Lin Daiyu tightly, sighing and looking deeply troubled.
Even Lin Daiyu sensed something was wrong and couldn't help but ask, "Grandmother, what's wrong?"
[Lin Baobao, she's just waiting for you to ask her, sob sob, she can tell you herself even if you don't.]
Lin Daiyu: Madam, I feel a little warm from being hugged...
"Good boy, it's nothing serious, it's just... just a little thing happened at home."
[What could have happened? Could it be that Jia Zheng went back and threw a tantrum, saying Baoyu wasn't well-mannered, and she felt embarrassed and ran away in a fit of anger?]
Grandmother Jia's face stiffened. "Yu'er, could I...maternal grandmother stay with you for a few days?"
Lin Daiyu: Madam is incredibly insightful.
"Ah, why is that? What about my two uncles and aunts...?" Lin Daiyu looked closely at the three sisters, who indicated that they didn't know.
"Don't worry about them. You've been in the capital these past few days, and you haven't stayed with your maternal grandmother. Can't you ask her to stay with you?" Grandmother Jia said, feigning anger.
“I really miss our Yu’er. Your mother was raised by me. After she got married, she came home less and less, until she was burying her child. It hurts me to see her like this.”
I'm scared, I'm scared.
Lin Daiyu said, "Grandma, you can just stay here."
[Hmph, all you do is talk the talk, and you come empty-handed. You can't even bring an apple or a banana.]
[The three sisters will also be in trouble. If the old lady doesn't come home and the Jia family can't get her back, they'll have no scapegoats and will blame the three of them for instigating it.]
[Having manipulated everyone, the old lady used the opportunity to go home, leaving Sanchun with a reputation for being unfilial. Brilliant!]
Yingchun: So she was right at the beginning? But... what should we do!
Tan Chun: If only we had known this would happen, why did we do it in the first place? How much power did they have to instigate the old lady? Sister Feng is right, there is no one in this family who is clear-headed!
Xichun: She...she doesn't know anything.
Lin Daiyu, so the old lady came here not because she missed me, but to control her good second uncle and continue to spoil Baoyu?
What a vicious old woman!
Killing several birds with one stone.
If this kind of cunning were used to educate Baoyu, how could Baoyu not become a great man?
Lin Daiyu: What you say is very true, Madam.
"Don't tell your uncles and aunts, they're all heartless. This old woman of mine is getting more and more useless. Only your mother is the one I like the most." She wiped away her tears as she spoke.
[Isn't that right? A daughter who gives money before she dies and keeps quiet afterward—she wasn't involved in these unpleasant things, isn't that the best outcome?]
What can the living use to fight the dead? Hahaha~
Everyone: Mrs. Lin's imagination is running wild again...
"My mother often talked about my maternal grandmother, saying that she was my maternal grandmother..."
"What does your mother often say about me?" Grandmother Jia paused, her heart sinking. Now that she thought about it, she realized that Daiyu disliked Baoyu from the very first time they met.
It must be because her daughter used to speak ill of Baoyu to Yu'er, causing Yu'er to harbor resentment and thus dislike Baoyu.
What are we talking about now? Sigh.
Could it be that she's talking about something related to this old woman?
Oh dear, it breaks my heart.
None of her children were easy to deal with, but Baoyu was the one who truly understood her heart.
Now that she's gone out for a short while, her father is unhappy, saying that she's spoiled and has dragged Baoyu down with her.
Don't they realize that they all grew up in the same way back then?
Now that they're older and have their own ideas, they think she's a bad old woman and really unfilial!
Her precious child is so unfortunate, stuck with such a father.
Waaaaah...
