Since her decline in fortune, she hasn't eaten brown sugar again. It's been at least a decade; she's almost forgotten what it tastes like!
Grandma Jiang grinned from ear to ear. "My precious granddaughter, you are so filial to your grandma."
Jiang Wanwan felt a little embarrassed. It was only half a pound of brown sugar, but she had already gone from being called a "brat" to a "precious granddaughter".
The Jiang family is a typical example of people who will follow whoever provides the benefits!
In this way, it shouldn't be difficult to win over everyone in the Jiang family and become the head of the Jiang family.
She smiled and said, "Hehe, it's only right for my granddaughter to be filial to you. You've worked hard for our Jiang family for half your life and are the greatest contributor to our family."
She glanced at the brown sugar in Grandma Jiang's hand; this half-pound of brown sugar was originally bought for Madam Lu. However, since she had already given it to Grandma Jiang, she might as well give it to her; she could just buy another half-pound at the mall later.
Grandma Jiang was overjoyed, her eyes filled with smugness, and she no longer cared about blaming Jiang Wanwan.
Jiang Wanwan opened another oil paper package, revealing five pieces of maltose candy. "Big brother, second brother, third brother, fifth brother, this is maltose candy I bought especially for you, one piece for each of you."
Jiang He and the others looked at the malt candy in the oil paper package with surprise. Jiang He asked in astonishment, "Sister, are we each going to get a piece of malt candy this big?"
His voice was trembling slightly.
Maltose is a precious commodity. Even the grandson of the wealthiest village chief in Dashui Village only gets to divide a single piece of maltose into many smaller pieces.
Some families even take a lick each, just to taste the sweetness.
If they get a whole piece of candy, wouldn't it be the only one for the children of Dashui Village?
Just thinking about it, they know how much envy their peers will receive.
Jianghu Liuxun and the others stared intently at Jiang Wanwan, waiting for her answer.
Jiang Wanwan nodded, smiled slightly, and said, "Yes, one big piece for each of us!"
"Wow! My sister is awesome!" Jiang He and the others couldn't help but cheer.
My little sister is awesome! My little sister is mighty! I'll raise the big flag for my little sister!
Even the proud Jiang Liu couldn't help but cheer. And the arrogant Jiang Xun had a smile on his lips that was even harder to suppress than AK's.
Jiang Wanwan gave each of them a piece of candy. The older brothers held the candy in their hands like it was a treasure, and were reluctant to eat it.
Mrs. Hu looked at her with some surprise, "Wan'er, did you buy one less? Where's yours?"
"Oh, not less. Hehe, I don't really like maltose." Jiang Wanwan was a little embarrassed.
Her inner soul was already in her twenties; she had absolutely no interest in these childish sweet nothings.
She changed the subject, rummaged through her basket and pulled out the meat she had bought, stuffing it into the hands of her aunt and Old Lady Jiang. "This is pork, we'll have meat tonight."
"Pork!" Old Mrs. Jiang shouted in a high-pitched voice.
Looking at the pork in her hands and in Hu's hands, her voice became unsteady again, "Good heavens, granddaughter, why did you buy so much meat! It's not a holiday, how can you be so wasteful?"
Even during the Lunar New Year, the Jiang family would only buy a couple of pounds of pork for a small treat. They had never seen anything like this before.
When Jiang Jialin saw that his family members looked just as shocked as he had before, he instantly felt a sense of balance.
Grandma Jiang unfolded the lotus leaves one by one. "Big fatty meat, hmm, this is alright. It can be rendered into oil. We just happen to be out of oil at home."
"Oh, spare ribs! My dear granddaughter, there's hardly any meat on these spare ribs. The bone is heavier than the meat. Buying them is a waste."
