With chicks and rabbits, we won't have to worry about meat anymore.
Moreover, they noticed several bags of things nearby, which were probably supplies.
With so much stuff, I'm sure I'll have a good New Year this year.
"Wow, so much stuff!"
Granny Chen put her hands inside her sleeves, crossed her arms, and slowly walked into the courtyard.
Li Jinglan followed behind.
Granny Chen glanced at the rabbit, her eyes lit up, and she reached out to take it.
"This rabbit is for us, right? It's a bit small, but it's enough for a dish."
Xiang Wanwan slapped her hand, and Granny Chen winced and pulled her hand back, looking at her with resentment.
“This isn’t for you to eat; it’s for everyone to raise.”
"Didn't your family look down on us pig farmers? What? Now you want to raise pigs yourselves?"
Seeing this, the people around chimed in, "Yes, Granny Chen, didn't you say that growing vegetables and raising pigs makes your husband lose face?"
"You absolutely must not raise these chicks and rabbits now. Don't tell anyone, or your husband will lose all face."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Granny Chen was so angry that her face turned red.
She was indeed a little envious; if she could raise some chickens and rabbits, at least she wouldn't have to worry about eating meat.
But she just couldn't bring herself to say it, and could only grit her teeth and say, "Hmph, I won't raise one!"
"It's dirty and smelly. Our house is brand new. What if it gets dirty?"
"Only people with dilapidated houses like yours would not care."
Standing to the side, Li Jinglan also spoke up to Xiang Wanwan, saying, "Wanwan, your son-in-law is, after all, a high-ranking official. You should also be mindful of your image and avoid doing such rough work."
"We women need to take care of ourselves. If you keep messing around with these things every day, your hands will get rougher and rougher, and men won't like that anymore."
Upon hearing this, the women nearby all examined their hands, and their expressions turned somewhat grim.
Xiang Wanwan curled her lips into a cold smile.
"You can't even afford to eat, and you're still thinking about taking care of yourself?"
"Aunt Li is truly an ethereal fairy who doesn't eat the food of this world! So, you, a mere nanny, seduced my dad just to avoid doing the hard work?"
"You have to admit Aunt Li is clever! She's so quick-witted! She's hooked up with my dad and is now Mrs. Xiang, so she doesn't have to do any work anymore."
Others only knew that Li Jinglan was Xiang Wanwan's stepmother, but they never expected that she was actually a nanny who rose to power.
It seems they really do have some tricks up their sleeves!
The way everyone looked at Li Jinglan changed.
They thought Li Jinglan was a noble lady, but they didn't expect her to be just like them.
Even worse than them, he was a servant.
Li Jinglan's face instantly darkened, then her eyes reddened slightly, and she reached out to wipe away tears that weren't actually there.
"Wanwan, what are you saying? Your biological mother passed away early, and I practically raised you from childhood. And your father, his health has always been poor; if it weren't for my constant care, I'm afraid..."
"I never imagined that my years of dedication would be seen as scheming in your eyes. I really, really..."
Perhaps it was because there were so many people around, or because Li Jinglan was acting so earnestly, that she actually managed to squeeze out two tears.
The scene at this moment resembled Xiang Wanwan being heartless and cruel, bullying her honest stepmother.
Seeing this scene, everyone who had just felt sorry for Xiang Wanwan now felt sorry for Li Jinglan.
"Sigh, every family has its own problems, being a stepmother is really not easy."
Granny Chen looked at Li Jinglan and thought to herself.
This woman is no pushover!
Chen Pozi knew all too well about her tricks. Living under the same roof every day, Chen Pozi had long since figured out her character.
However, the fight between these two people had nothing to do with her!
She was just an observer.
Xiang Wanwan sneered inwardly.
Trying to outact with her?
Then let's play along with her!
Xiang Wanwan immediately put on a wronged expression, and tears welled up in her eyes. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
