Chapter 440: More Sour
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The dining room was connected to the main room at one end, protruding towards the patio, and it was perpendicular to the main room at right angles. It was rectangular, with one side facing the kitchen and was separated by a door. On the wall opposite the door was a set of cupboards and a row of chests of drawers almost as tall as a person.
In addition, there were six windows in the middle of the two opposite walls, which were inlaid with light-colored glass. During the day, the sun shone in from the windows, which was very bright.
The food was put on the table, and Ms. Fang smiled and greeted everyone from the second and third section of the family.
After the first section of the family finished cleaning things up, the other two sections of the family visited the place for the first time.
Seeing that the house was neat and tidy everywhere, the brand-new furniture was made of good wood, and beautifully made, they had already turned sour inside and out.
They felt even more jealous when they saw the dining room.
Ms. Zhang could not help but snort. “Eldest Auntie, you keep saying that your windows are made of glaze, which is not cheap at all. You are saying this because you are afraid of loaning us money, right?
The eyes of the two sections of the family sparkled. They all nodded vigorously.
Ms. Fang smiled and said calmly, “Right!’
Ms. Zhang.
Ms. Ma could not help but shout. “Eldest Sister-in-law, you are not treating us as your family.”
“What can I do? I am already very scared. You have borrowed a lot of money from us, but you have not returned any. I have been fooled many times, and I need to learn something from the past lessons, right?”
Third Uncle coughed. “But we are running short of money. If we have some, we will definitely return it to you.”
Ms. Fang responded. “Sure, I believe you, but you must be running out of money even in a dozen years too, right? It seems that I am not looking forward to receiving any money from you anytime soon. Also, I like to spend money in the way I want to. What can you say about it, anyway?
Qiao Xuan chuckled. “Mom, you are right! You can even throw some coins in the water and that would have nothing to do with any of us!”
Ms. Fang laughed. “That is true!”
The others felt so annoyed.
Ms. Zhang glared at Qiao Xuan, looking furious.
She was a nobly-born lady with a lot of dowry, wasn’t she? But she was so-damned rude…
Yang Xiaoni looked at them, licked her lips and smiled at Ms. Fang. “Mom, the dishes would turn cold if we don’t hurry. I am starving a little!”
Yang Xiaoni was very confident about her cooking skills, thinking that her cooking skills were good.
More importantly, the ingredients were good. The freshly-cooked chicken, the ducks, which were put inside the pot for frying and boiling.
She had already been drooling with the fragrance.
Eldest Uncle asked the Second Uncle and everyone else to gather around the table. “Come and sit, let’s eat together!”
Everyone sat down. They were very displeased, but there was nothing they could say or do apart from feeling wronged.
The two tables were divided between men and women, and the women’s side was not very friendly.
Ms. Niu and the others did not want to talk, so they just buried their heads in eating. They tried to comment in the middle. “The chicken is too thin!”, “There are too few eggs!” but Ms. Fang and her daughters-in-law ignored it all.
At the men’s table, Second Uncle and Third Uncle talked more. They kept saying how the family should be united and the first section of the family should help others.
They even mentioned their deceased parents, crying sourly. “Eldest Brother, you are living a life that we are all jealous of. If our parents could live to the present day, they would be so glad to enjoy such life with us.. We are so useless, but Eldest Brother, you are really capable…”
