"What are you saying, Xun'er? My sister has been traveling for over ten days, she really needs to nourish her body." Lu Mingzhu glared at the boy, then used her chopsticks to pick up an egg from her bowl and put it into Jiang Wanwan's bowl.
The boy pouted even more.
Hmph, this so-called "Wanwan sister" is no good at all. My original sister was much better!
Jiang Wanwan did not refuse Jiang Jialin and Lu Mingzhu's kindness. The couple were somewhat cautious towards this biological daughter they had taken in halfway through their lives, and thus their actions were somewhat humble and ingratiating.
This humility and ingratiation have nothing to do with self-interest, but rather with paternal and maternal love.
Both of them were worried that Jiang Wanwan, who was used to a life of luxury in the general's mansion, would not be able to adapt to her new, poor home in the countryside, and would look down on the Jiang family and on them as her parents.
Jiang Wanwan turned her head to look at Jiang Jialin and his wife, her eyebrows curving and revealing six small white teeth, "Thank you, Mom, thank you, Dad."
"Oh! You're welcome," the two replied hastily.
Jiang Wanwan looked at the thin, black porridge in the bowl with some disgust. Even pigs wouldn't eat this stuff in modern times.
Unexpectedly, one day she found herself eating food that even pigs would dislike.
"Gurgle~" My stomach made a series of protesting sounds.
Jiang Wanwan hesitated for a long time before finally picking up the bowl, frowning as she took a small sip.
Ugh~
Goodness, this black paste is really hard on the throat.
She didn't want to eat, but her body was too weak with hunger. If she continued to act coy now, she would probably die before Su Wan'er could even take revenge.
Without further hesitation, Jiang Wanwan picked up the bowl and gulped down another mouthful of the porridge.
She put down her bowl, picked up her chopsticks, and put a mouthful of vegetables into her mouth.
Instantly, Jiang Wanwan frowned.
It tastes awful!
No salt, no oil! It's like eating pig swill.
Jiang Wanwan quickly chewed the vegetables in her mouth twice, then swallowed them with a frown.
At this moment, Grandma Jiang picked up a large piece of egg from the basin and put it into the thirteen-year-old boy's bowl. Her wrinkles spread out like chrysanthemums as she smiled. "Hehehe, my little golden grandson, eat more to nourish your body. When you pass the imperial examination, your grandma and your grandfather will enjoy a life of leisure with you."
"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely study hard so that you and Grandpa can enjoy a good life," the thirteen-year-old boy said.
"Second brother, you eat too." As he spoke, he picked up a large piece of egg from the bowl and put it into the boy's father's bowl.
"Oh, thank you, Mom. You eat too, you eat too, hehehe~~"
Others were used to it and seemed to have grown accustomed to Old Lady Jiang's favoritism.
Jiang Wanwan didn't care about that. She turned her chopsticks and stuck them into the bowl of eggs.
She quickly picked up a large piece of egg, and Grandma Jiang's previously upturned lips instantly drooped, her brows furrowed, and she glared. Just as Grandma Jiang was about to scold her, the chopsticks in her hand veered, and the egg ended up in Grandpa Jiang's bowl.
Seeing this, Grandma Jiang moved her lips, but didn't know what to say.
Old Man Jiang truly lives up to his reputation as the most powerful person in the family; even Old Mrs. Jiang, who is extremely biased, has to listen to him. Therefore, it's still necessary to flatter him a little.
Jiang Wanwan smiled, her eyes crinkling. "Hehehe, Grandpa, please eat more. You're the hardest working person in this family. I'll definitely be filial to you in the future."
Old Man Jiang felt a warm glow inside from the praise; it was the first time he had ever been praised by his grandchildren.
