Xue Xiaohua was crying her heart out. On the other side, Xue Bainian’s howling almost drowned out Lotus’ voice.
Lotus knew that these two damned children had framed her. Even if she jumped into the river, she would not be able to clear her name. However, there was nothing she could do. She could only wipe away her tears.
When Lee Guilan saw this situation, she could not hold her breath. She could only comfort her with tears in her eyes, “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Our Xiaohua is the prettiest. Wenjing, come out quickly and take a look. Bai Bainian got knocked down!”
Bai Wenjing had long heard the chaos outside. With her mother-in-law out to uphold justice, what else could she say? Only when she heard Lee Guilan say that Xue Bainian was hurt did she run out in a hurry.
From afar, she could see that Xue Bainian was bleeding profusely. At this time, there was nothing to stop the bleeding. She thought of the doctor’s method and quickly grabbed a handful of little ashes and covered Xue Bainian’s head.
The bleeding finally stopped. Lee Guilan wiped her tears and sighed again. She opened her mouth but did not say anything.
Bai Wenjing glanced at Xue Baijun who was showing off. Xue Baijun immediately glared at her and said fiercely, “Mother, don’t look at me. It’s not me. It’s her. She pushed the younger one down.”
Xue Xiaohua also nodded and said, “Big brother is right. It’s her.”
Bai Lotus was so angry that she almost spat out a mouthful of blood. One had to know that Xue Chang An had also come over at this time. She hurriedly explained, “It’s not me. It really isn’t me. It’s himself…”
Lee Guilan impatiently interrupted her words and said, “Alright, alright. What’s the point of talking about it? My good grandson has already broken his skin. My good grandson, I’ll give you more meat to eat later.”
Xue Bainian immediately stopped crying and nodded. “I want to eat a big bowl of meat.”
Bai Wenjing finally understood what had happened. Xue Bainian was already injured, and just like her mother-in-law said, it was useless to say anything. She was also angry and furious. This little guy had to find a rope to tie her up, otherwise, the mischievous child’s mission would not have been completed.
Bai Wenjing made two dishes. She stewed a pot of beans and meat. The beans and meat were all badly stewed, and the next dish was a salad of wild vegetables. She put in onion, ginger, garlic, and chili, then burned a spoonful of oil, added salt and vinegar, and cooked the same dish.
It was only when they were eating that Bai Wenjing realized that the wheat rice that her mother-in-law had cooked was for Xue Chang An and the three little ones. As for the big pot of wheat bran and wild vegetables porridge, it was for them.
Fortunately, the old lady really felt sorry for the three of them. She also ate wheat bran. Bai Wenjing stirred it in the bowl. In the old world, it was meant for pigs…
The whole house was eating at the table, but the three daughters of the eldest sister-in-law were squatting at the door with bowls in their hands. They looked at them as poor little dogs. There was only wheat bran and wild vegetable porridge in the bowls, not to mention meat, there were no wild vegetables mixed with oil and salt.
How could she eat this?
Bai Wenjing put down the bowls and chopsticks and walked to the three little girls squatting at the door. She said to the three little girls, “The three of you should also come to the table and eat. There are many dishes. Little aunt made a big basin, and it’s enough for all of us to eat.”
The youngest little girl was only about five years old. When she heard her say this, a hint of joy flashed in her dark eyes, but she was stopped by the eldest girl behind her. So the little girl shook her head and did not dare to say anything.
Lee Guilan interrupted. “Why are you asking the three of them to come over? They love to eat. Don’t worry about them.”
Bai Wenjing thought it was ridiculous. No one liked to eat at the door. So, she ignored Lee Guilan’s dark face and directly pulled the three of them to the table.
“Eat, it’s okay. You’re the best. Don’t be afraid.”
Since Bai Wenjing had already said so, Lee Guilan did not say anything else. She just smiled and said, “Eat, eat. Come, Chang An, eat some meat.”
“Mother, when will sister-in-law come back? Her three girls are still here. She won’t bring them home.”
Lee Guilan’s expression changed slightly. “Then how would I know?”
After saying this, Xue Baijun and Xue Xiaohua could not wait to put meat into their mouths with chopsticks. Xue Bainian was young. He picked up the chopsticks several times but could not get it right. Suddenly, he screamed, he threw the chopsticks on the ground and burst into tears.
Xue Baijun stared at Xue Bainian and said, “Crying, crying, you only know how to cry. It’s your fault for not knowing how to use chopsticks. You’re alive…”
Before he could finish, he saw Bai Wenjing’s cold eyes and instantly stopped talking.
Lee Guilan hurriedly picked up the meat bowl and said, “Don’t cry, don’t cry. Bainian, don’t cry. I’ll put the meat in your bowl. Come, come, come, there’s all of it. Don’t snatch it…”
After saying that, Lee Guilan picked up the chopsticks and first scooped more than half of the bowl of meat for Xue Bainian, then scooped more than half of the meat into Xue Chang An’s bowl, then scooped some meat for Xue Baijun and Xue Xiaohua’s bowls. With this, there were only a few pieces of meat left in the bowl.
“You eat too. It’s not easy to bring three children along.”
After saying that, Lee Guilan scooped the last few pieces of meat into Bai Wenjing’s bowl.
Lotus shook her hands and finally quietly turned over the wheat bran mixed with wild vegetables in the bowl.
“Mother, you eat the meat. Here.”
Xue Xiaohua knew that no matter how strange her mother’s temper was, she was still her own mother. She could not let that aunt whom she did not like become her stepmother.
One had to know that there was a little friend in the village who was old and fat in the past. Ever since he had a stepmother, not only did he become hungry like a monkey, but his stepmother also kept hitting him… at the thought of this, Xue Xiaohua felt that her mother was still the best.
“You’re really thoughtful.”
Bai Wenjing finally felt a little comforted. After saying this, Xue Baijun also added a piece of meat into her bowl. Then, he pretended to know nothing as he lowered his head and ate the rice, even the youngest fat kid, Xue Bainian, used his chopsticks to add a piece of meat to her with much effort.
Bai Wenjing looked at the meat in her bowl, then looked at the three little girls who were looking at her with eager eyes. She gave a few pieces of meat in her bowl to the three girls. “You guys eat. I’m not that hungry. Besides, I like to eat this.”
As Bai Wenjing spoke, she had already picked up a large amount of wild vegetables with her chopsticks.
“Here, you eat this.”
Bai Lotus was still struggling to eat the wheat bran in her bowl. The happy and harmonious appearance of the family in front of her made her very unhappy. Then, she saw Xue Xiaohua bite off the lean meat on the meat, leaving only the fat parts to be thrown into her bowl.
Lee Guilan saw this and smiled. “Look at how good my good granddaughter is. She even knows how to be humble.”
Bai Lotus was quiet.
This was clearly a piece of fat that your granddaughter could not eat?
But even though that was what she thought in her heart, she still had a harmless smile on her face. She said gently, “Yes, Xiaohua is really sensible.”
Xue Xiaohua was delighted when she heard that. She stuffed the next piece of fat into her mouth and rolled it around. She smashed the taste of salt on it and then ate the thin part.. She threw the rest into Lotus’ bowl and said, “Auntie, if you like to eat, then eat more.”
