Liang Wu'an lifted the plate, revealing the fragrant mushroom stewed chicken in the bowl, and handed it to Wan's mother with a drooling mouth.
"Grandma, this is a chicken that Mom caught on the mountain today. She said it's not easy to get meat these days, so she asked me to bring a bowl over to you and Grandpa!"
The Wan family members all stared wide-eyed.
What's going on? Could they be hallucinating?
Wan Shu resented Wan's parents and would spit on them whenever she saw them. Had she lost her mind today and actually let Liang Wu'an bring her such a big bowl of meat!
Although there were still quite a few mushrooms in the bowl, and meat only made up half of it, these weren't ordinary mushrooms! These were mushrooms that had been stewed with chicken!
Moreover, no one knows how Wan Shu made it, but this bowl of meat looks and smells much better than the meat made by anyone else in the village!
Looking at the mushroom stewed chicken, Wan's parents couldn't help but have tears well up in their eyes.
It's been twelve years... This is the first time Shu'er has taken the initiative to contact them since she was sold! She even gave them meat!
Does this mean that Shu'er has already forgiven them to some extent?
Wanfeng knew that his parents must be happy at this moment, and he was happy for them too, but deep down, he felt more disappointed.
Wu'an said that this was a special gift from his elder sister to his parents.
My sister dislikes him so much, and Wu'an said those things, I wonder if it was just to prevent him from eating...
"Uncle, you brought grain today. Mother said the family is poor right now and she won't refuse you, but she can't let you give it to her for nothing. This bowl of meat is for you separately!"
"Wow, there's even one for me!!"
Wan Feng looked at the other bowl of meat that Liang Wu'an handed him, his face full of disbelief.
It turns out that his older sister didn't forbid him from eating; she even specially served him a bowl!
Could it be that my sister is finally going to forgive him?!
Thinking of this, even Wan Feng, a grown man, couldn't help but get teary-eyed.
Standing to the side, Mrs. Zhou was very pleased: "I heard from others that Fourth Sister has now cut ties with the Su family and is going to live a good life. I didn't quite believe it at first, but now I completely believe it. Now that Fourth Sister's husband is gone, she's living a happy and harmonious life with our family."
Liang Wu'an was eager to get home and eat meat, and once he saw that his task was complete, he ran off again in a flash.
This meat was intended as a filial offering to Wan Shu's parents, but Wan Shu's parents were not the selfish type to eat alone.
The sons and grandsons below have been hungry for so long, they should definitely be given a good meal.
This bowl of meat looked like a lot, but it wasn't enough to divide among thirteen people. The chicken was chopped into large pieces, with only five pieces in total. It was difficult for anyone to pick up the pieces in the middle, so Mother Wan made the distribution.
"This is a gift from Shu'er to my parents. It's only right that my husband and I each have a piece of meat."
“The eldest and second eldest have been working the hardest in the fields lately, and they each have a share.”
"As for this last piece..." Mother Wan's gaze swept over the younger generation, finally settling on Zhou's second son.
"Shuanzi fell while chopping wood a few days ago and bled quite a bit. He needs to recover, so here's the last piece of flesh for you."
Wan Shuanzi was overjoyed, feeling that the blood he had shed in the past few days had not been in vain!
The other children were dejected, hating themselves for not getting hurt!
Mother Wan coughed and said, "Alright, don't be discouraged. Meat is a good thing, but not everyone can eat it. If there's no meat, there are still mushrooms. Everyone can have a couple of mushrooms with the taste of meat on them!"
So the other children cheered up again and went to pick up mushrooms with great enthusiasm.
Upon seeing this, Liu secretly pursed her lips.
Children are easy to coax. Don't think she doesn't know that all the things her mother-in-law said were just to get all the meat for the boys in the family!
Otherwise, why would all the meat, except for the mother-in-law herself, be given to the boy?
It's one thing for her own husband and older brother—they've been working hard in the fields lately—but why should Wan Ershuan get the credit?
He's clearly of the same generation as his three daughters, so why does he get to eat meat while his daughters don't? There's no such logic in the world!
Liu tugged at Baoyu and Baoyin, who were sitting next to her, and gestured for them to look at Wanfeng, who had a large bowl of meat in front of him.
The two children immediately understood and ran to Wanfeng's side, pleading pitifully.
"Uncle, Uncle, we want to eat meat too..."
"We're so hungry..."
Wan Feng originally wanted to share his bowl of meat with everyone, but his mother firmly disagreed, so he gave up.
Seeing his two little nieces looking at him so pitifully, he took the opportunity to divide all the meat in his bowl among his nephews and nieces who hadn't received any meat.
My nephews and nieces are young and growing, while his body has already grown out and is no longer viable. Such good flesh should not be wasted on him.
He was already very fortunate to have the mushrooms his older sister gave him.
——
The Liang family had no limit on the amount of meat they could eat. To prevent them from being frugal, Wan Shu even threatened, "If you can't finish it, I'll send it to the Su family!"
Upon hearing this, the five children exclaimed, "What?! Give it to the Su family? No way!" They ate with gusto, their mouths greasy with oil.
Liang Sanshun was a little confused. While eating the meat, he asked, "Mother, haven't you always disliked Grandma, Grandpa, and Uncle? Why are you bringing them meat today?"
Wan Shu sent meat because he felt that Wan Feng was also a pitiful person, and since Wan Feng had sent him food, he would help him if he could.
Secondly, it's actually out of consideration for interests.
Living in an ancient village is not as convenient, fast, and safe as living in a modern city, especially since she is now a widow.
Widows often face gossip and trouble. Now, as a widow raising five children, whether for safety reasons or other considerations, it would be best for her to have relatives and friends to help her.
And the Wan family is a ready-made relative.
Blood ties can never be broken. The Wan family is close to the Liang family, so if anything happens, it would be the most convenient and reliable thing for the two families to help each other.
Of course, Wan Shu wouldn't voice these considerations.
After all, on the surface, she is still the biological daughter of all her parents. What biological daughter would consider these things when interacting with her parents?
“I’ve figured it out.” Wan Shu lowered her eyelids: “Instead of giving good things to the Su family, it’s better to give them to people who are good to you. You can’t maintain a relationship without resentment for a lifetime. Life has to go on.”
Having figured out this excuse, Wan Shu was already using it for the second time.
The other four children believed it without much thought, but Liang Sanshun stopped eating and stared blankly at Wan Shu.
He still had meat in his mouth, and Wan Shu thought he had choked, so she quickly patted his back twice: "Eat slowly, there's still plenty of meat."
Liang Sanshun suddenly grinned foolishly: "Okay!"
He likes his current mother, so let's just pretend we don't know anything!
