141 Family
The two sections of the family had sensed that they were not in a good place as before. Ms. Fang was annoying, and more domineering than before. Moreover, Qiao Xuan had joined her.
They kept bitching about her mistake.
They tried to console Eldest Brother and even flattered him.
Eldest Brother was the master of the family. As long as he was well manipulated by them, everything else would be solved easily. It was just a matter of time!
Eldest Uncle felt so moved, when he saw how his brothers, nieces and nephews were chatting with him. They were so nice to him.
They were his family!
He had treated them well these past few years and it was all worth the while! Their parents would be gratified in heaven as well! He had lived up to their parents’ standards.
In the kitchen, Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma were quite distracted.
Ms. Ma could not help but look outside the kitchen, mumbling. “What are Eldest Sister-in-law and everyone else doing? What is keeping them for so long?”
True, they all believed that the eldest section of the family would definitely be here, with Eldest Uncle coming over first, and the others following later.
Ms. Niu was quite displeased as well.
She knew exactly what Ms. Ma meant.
When Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu were here, they would definitely help in cooking. Also, Eldest Brother treated them well, and would always come with some gifts, like a chicken, for example.
Ms. Niu even expected to wait until Ms. Fang arrived to kill the chicken.
A while later, Ms. Ma could not stand the wait any more. “What on earth is taking them so long? Xiaozhi, Meiling, go and check on them. Tell them to be here as soon as possible.”
“Just wait.” Ms. Niu stopped her. “Let’s just hold on! We can kill the chicken and make the food. We will fetch them when dinner is served.”
Ms. Ma was startled.
Ms. Niu really started to think that she was stupid. She snapped. “Haven’t you got it? Eldest Sister-in-law is so annoyed by us that she wants to postpone her arrival! Just drop it, we can make some dishes as we want!”
Ms. Ma nodded.
That was exactly what Ms. Fang would have done.
“She is so stingy! We have apologized and made dinner, what more does she want? Should we kneel down and kowtow to her?!”
Ms. Niu rolled her eyes. “What else can we do?”
Ms. Ma was stuck with words.
Yeah, what else could they do?
“Alright, alright!”
It was their own fault that they were caught red-handed. They had to be tolerant at the moment.
It was Widow Sun, the bitch’s fault. But for her big mouth, nothing like this would have happened!
That bitch needed to be punished.
So, Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma dropped the idea of fetching Ms. Fang at the moment, and pretended to make dishes with full sincerity.
Ms. Niu, against her will, killed one of her chickens, whilst Ms. Ma brought 12 eggs as well as some vegetables from her house.
They made the dinner without putting any oil or salt in it.
When dishes were served on the table, Ms. Niu smiled. “Eldest Brother, the dishes are ready. What are Eldest Sister-in-law and the others doing?”
“Yes, we are all waiting for them!” Ms. Ma added with a smile.
Eldest Uncle’s face stiffened.
“They…”
“It is fine, we can wait a little longer! Meiling, Xiaozhi, go and fetch them, okay?”
Second Uncle made a gesture and let them leave.
Eldest Uncle was about to stop them, when he suddenly realized that maybe these two children would be able to move Ms. Fang.
