"Hmph, don't even think about touching me again!"
An Jianjun thought, that was impossible.
Feng Jiaojiao ignored An Jianjun. She even told him to stop... This guy is really...
"It's time to eat!" An's mother shouted in the yard, also wanting to remind her son to be more careful. It was already so late and he still hadn't come out.
At the dinner table, An's mother distributed the food to everyone.
"Mother, what do you mean?"
Mrs. An saw that there was a bowl of egg custard in front of Feng Jiaojiao and Chen Tingting. They were steamed in small bowls, and it was obvious that there was one egg in each bowl.
Her face changed immediately. She didn't even have a son.
Is it really true that we only give special treatment to two of the same daughters-in-law?
"What do you mean? Eat it or not!" An's mother didn't respond.
"Mom, you're so biased towards the Northwest. What's the matter? Daughters-in-law in the city are expensive, so they can have their own meals for two. You steamed some extra egg custard for me, and the second son and I will just watch over it."
"And your eldest grandson hasn't even made a living. It's really a case of a poor mother and a lowly son. Woohoo, life is really unbearable. You, the An family, are really bullying. My son, it's all because of your uselessness as a mother. You don't have any status, and you have to suffer with me." Mrs. An has never been one to suffer losses.
That means you can eat anything and won’t suffer any loss.
With a "bang", An's mother slammed her big hand on the table.
Mrs. An was frightened.
I wanted to make some noise, maybe I could gain some benefits, but I didn't expect to touch the tiger's butt.
"Wang Xiuqin, you've got to make a big deal out of this. Tell me, tell me whatever you want to say today. Let's talk it out clearly. How have I wronged you and your child?" An's mother sneered.
"Mom, don't be like Xiuqin. She...she just has such a bad temper. We don't have anything to say." Brother An knew that if the family did not split up, it would actually be an advantage for him and the second brother.
He and the second son have seven children in total, and the third and fourth sons' families can only afford to eat so much. Moreover, the third son only gives the family 15 yuan every month as a subsidy. What's wrong with having a small kitchen? The fourth son's wife's family also often gives him food and tickets.
He also knew that his wife was feeling a little unbalanced. His third and fourth brother's wives came from better-off families, and they didn't want to compete with them.
"No, I don't think she does. Isn't she feeling wronged? Everyone is here today, and she is clearly talking about it." Mother An looked at her eldest daughter-in-law.
In fact, she was not unaware of the imbalance of her eldest daughter-in-law, but given the family's conditions, it was impossible for everyone in the family to eat egg custard.
There are almost twenty mouths to feed in this family, big and small. If she wants to give everyone egg custard, she will need more than ten eggs.
There are only five chickens in this family, and we can't have one more. We can only pick up five eggs a day, and we have to save some eggs to exchange for things. How can we eat as much as we want?
"You are just biased!" Mrs. An muttered softly.
"Why did I make egg custard for the third and fourth sons? Why does the third son only give me fifteen yuan a month? Don't you have any idea? Fifteen yuan a month is not too much for an egg a day, right?"
"Let me calculate the market price for you. Eggs are 25 cents per pound right now. The eggs you buy outside are slightly larger, with about seven or eight eggs per pound. Our own eggs are smaller, with about ten eggs per pound. Even if the third daughter-in-law eats them every day, it'll only cost her 75 cents a month, less than a dollar. Let's calculate the grain..."
The final calculation is that these fifteen dollars can never be spent.
Mrs. An was speechless. She had never calculated it before.
“Then…then…”
"The fourth daughter-in-law is breastfeeding her baby. How can she produce milk if she doesn't eat something nutritious? Have you forgotten the time when you were feeding Jiabao? You wish you could have three eggs a day!" Before Mrs. An could finish her words, her mother left her speechless again.
"Mom, I'll go talk to her. Please don't be angry with her. Third sister-in-law, fourth sister-in-law, don't be like your eldest sister-in-law. I know we are the ones who benefited from her. If you need your eldest brother in the future, don't be polite. He still has plenty of strength." Brother An hurried out to smooth things over and clean up the mess for his wife.
He also made up his mind that he would find a way to make money in the future so that his wife and children could have something to eat. It was all because of his uselessness.
"Okay, let's eat, old lady. If you eat pancakes in the morning from now on, make egg soup." Father An knew that Fan Xi shouldn't go too far, so he didn't say much, but his words were meaningful.
Everyone was delighted when they heard this.
"I see."
An's father and mother played the bad guy and the bad guy respectively, and they considered the good thing of giving Feng Jiaojiao an egg every morning as a way to get by.
Feng Jiaojiao sat on the side watching the fun with great interest. The egg custard was indeed delicious. An's mother even added a drop of sesame oil, which was really fragrant!
