Chapter 22: We Can't Eat Eggs

"Grandma, you don't want me to slap you?"

With big apricot eyes, he stared at Mrs. Jiang sincerely and seriously.

Mrs. Jiang's temples jumped suddenly, and when she saw the jewel enter her house again, she turned over the cabinet, and actually held a clay pot, stretched her little paws in, and took out fifteen taels of silver.

"Put, put down, that's my silver."

At this time, Mrs. Jiang didn't care how good the treasure bead was, and the silver was her life.

Don't even think about moving.

"How is your silver, it is clearly my father's pension, and the silver that my mother earned by selling embroidery so hard. Even if you have you, you will take it to pay off my uncle's gambling debts. ”

Besides, I've seen everything, where is the truth of losing money?

Baozhu's apricot eyes widened, and she stared at Mrs. Jiang who wanted to snatch the ceramic jar from her hand very dissatisfied.

"If you want silver, go to your uncle and aunt, and the money is mine."

Holding the ceramic can, he knocked into Mrs. Jiang who was blocking the door, ran to Jiang Qiuniang's house with a bang, poked her head out again, and stared at Mrs. Jiang fiercely: "I saw it, it's me, it's all woda." ”

Mrs. Jiang covered her heart, and when she saw Jiang Mingzhu holding the two chickens with bare hair, her heart and liver hurt again.

His eyes went black and he fainted.

Falling at the door, Jiang Qiuniang was so frightened that she went up to check it out, and moved the person to the bed with all her strength.

Snorted, and breathed.

Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief and folded his hands: "Amitabha, fortunately, I was not angry with Baoya." ”

glanced at Mrs. Jiang who was unconscious on the bed again, and sighed.

The children have grown up and have their own ideas.

When I thought of the past few years, my hard-earned money, including the fifty taels of pension with my husband, was all ruined by the big house, and there was only fifteen taels of silver left.

Why, with their hard-earned silver, they subsidized the big house, and in the end they had to sell her two daughters to pay off the debt.

She wanted to be a good daughter-in-law, but she ...... Why is the heart so ruthless?

Anything that says no complaints, that's all fake.

Jiang Qiuniang wiped her tears, and finally glanced at Mrs. Jiang and turned to leave.

Jiang Jinchai hid in the house and peeked at the movement outside.

Smelling the aroma of chicken, my heart was itching, and finally I couldn't resist the temptation and walked to the kitchen.

"Second aunt, oops, I'm eating chicken again today!"

She twisted her waist into the kitchen and reached for a chicken leg.

A small black claw slammed into the back of her hand.

Jiang Dongbao has a black face, he is the third child in the family, and he has always been busy behind the second sister, and he knows that he came to the stove to help watch the fire, she is the eldest in the family, and she has never known how to eat ready-made.

And every time there was something delicious, he and his sister could only watch her eat it, and they didn't see her share it with them.

Jiang Qiuniang didn't look at her, the bowls at home were all broken by Jiang Jinchai, and only two bowls with gaps remained.

The remaining two still let Jiang Dongsheng go next door to borrow them.

Jiang Jinchai watched himself be slapped, his white hands were stained with soot, and he looked at Jiang Dongsheng with an ugly face.

"Second aunt, you don't care about the third brother, I've been hungry for a day, what's wrong with me eating a chicken leg?"

As he spoke, he glared at Jiang Dongsheng and stretched out his hand again.

This time Jiang Qiuniang moved, picking up the chicken just to avoid her outstretched hand.

"If you want to eat, grab it yourself and cook it yourself."

Jiang Qiuniang said expressionlessly.

Jiang Jinchai was stunned, she didn't expect Jiang Qiuniang to talk to her like this.

Is this still the soft and weak second aunt she knows?

"Second aunt, do you know what you're talking about? My grandmother has the final say in the whole family, do you want to eat alone? ”

"Yo, eldest sister, have you forgotten, don't you eat alone every time?"

Jiang Dongsheng wrinkled his nose, his face full of yin and yang.

He has long been unaccustomed to the delicious and lazy Jiang Jinchai, why let the second sister do the work at home, she came to the clothes to reach out for food to open her mouth, every time the delicious food at home entered her stomach, even the marriage cloth sent by the Wang family was taken away by the grandmother, and she turned her foot to make new clothes.

"Jiang Xiaosan, I'm your eldest sister, you ......"

Jiang Jinchai was annoyed and angry, when had she ever been so angry?

They really thought that this family, relying on the jewel, that crazy girl could do whatever they wanted.

When her mother invited the goddess back, she accepted Jiang Baozhu, a water ghost, and when they cried.

"Hey, when Uncle and my grandmother were about to be sold, I didn't see you treating us as younger brothers and sisters, just hiding in the house and watching the excitement."

Jiang Dongsheng said mockingly.

He was crying anxiously, she had been hiding in the house, and she didn't necessarily have to help call the villagers for help.

Maybe I wish my second sister was sold.

Jiang Qiuniang didn't know the situation that day, and she believed that her son would not lie and deceive people, if this was the case, then whether Jiang Jinchai was hungry or not had nothing to do with her.

She was hungry, even though she went to her mother, Liu Cuihua.

"You're a sixteen-year-old girl, you have your own hands and feet, and you want your younger brothers and sisters to cook for you? If you want to eat, do it yourself. ”

Saying that, he no longer looked at Jiang Jinchai's ugly face, and asked Mingzhu to go back to the house with the boiled chicken soup.

Leaving Jiang Jinchai alone in the yard.

The sun has set, and in order to save oil lamps, every family likes to carry their meals to the yard and eat by the moonlight.

The Jiang family also couldn't afford to light an oil lamp, but today, Baozhu took out an oil lamp from Mrs. Jiang's room, a family of four, a rare luxury, lit the oil lamp, the four of them sat together, eating with relish.

"Good times, good times. What will the second sister eat tomorrow? ”

Baozhu burped, raised his head and squinted his apricot eyes, like a crooked moon.

Mingzhu looked at her satisfied little face, glanced at the grain moved from Mrs. Jiang's house, and her heart had never been so stable.

"Early tomorrow morning, I'll go to the mountains to see if there are any mushrooms, and we'll order wild vegetables and mushrooms to eat at noon."

Fungi!

Baozhu swallowed, and several recipes that he had read popped up in his head.

"Then it's decided, let's eat chicken stewed mushrooms tomorrow. And kill both chickens. ”

Ha?

Jiang Mingzhu looked at Jiang Qiuniang for help, Jiang Qiuniang lowered her head and ate chicken feet, eating very carefully, almost not wasting a single bit of meat.

Seeing that Jiang Qiuniang didn't speak, Jiang Mingzhu blinked, why didn't her mother stop them this time?

I couldn't help but feel a little happy and expectant.

"Eat meat, eat meat. We'll have chicken tomorrow. ”

Jiang Dongsheng didn't think it was a big deal, and happily agreed.

Soon he frowned again and said, "There are only five chickens in the house, and they have eaten them all." There are no hens that lay eggs. ”

"Has the third brother ever eaten chicken?" Baozhu's memory is very vague, but she is sure that she has never eaten eggs, and all the eggs were taken by Mrs. Jiang to exchange for money, or they were eaten by Jiang Jinchai, who was hungry in the next room.

Jiang Dongbao shook his head.

"Then what are you afraid of? We can't eat the eggs anyway. Baozhu pouted, and said nonchalantly.
