Chapter 99 During the Famine, My Little Aunt Lived a Life of Luxury
"Hurry up and take the dishes out. Are you waiting for me to come and invite you?"
Grandma Jiang took out a bowl and began to serve rice.
The food was served.
Grandma Jiang's first concern was for Jiang Lian.
"Grandma, Auntie said she has no appetite and doesn't want to eat."
"How can you not eat?" Grandma Jiang personally carried the rice and added a lot of dishes to Jiang Lian's room.
Grandma Jiang began serving food to everyone.
Everyone else remained the same as before.
The crispy rice that was originally meant for Lu Cuihua has now been given to Zhao Jingui.
There's also a pancake.
Jiang He and Jiang Miao each received a pancake, and the bowl of porridge was also given to them.
This time, Da Hu only received half a portion, and he wasn't even allowed to sit at the table to eat.
Grandma Jiang is taking her anger out on others.
She was always so good to Da Hu, and she always thought of him whenever she had something delicious to eat.
That little brat is on his mother's side; he even helped her beat her today.
We need to teach him a lesson; tonight we'll only give him half a pancake.
I didn't want to feed him at first, since he's my only grandson, but I couldn't bear to, so I gave him half a meal.
Not having enough to eat isn't a big problem.
That traitor Lu Cuihua won't get any food tonight.
While everyone else was eating, Lu Cuihua was still washing clothes.
Zhao Jingui shared the crispy rice crust with Jiang He and Jiang Miao, and then drank her own porridge. The two girls had never eaten crispy rice crust before.
Grandma Jiang watched Zhao Jingui's actions without saying a word. She thought Zhao Jingui was unlucky, having given birth to two girls in a row. She hoped that Zhao Jingui would have a son next time.
Those two little girls are eating with gusto, humph.
Lu Cuihua finished washing the clothes, and then they finished eating.
Grandma Jiang then sent Lu Cuihua to continue washing the dishes and tidying up the kitchen.
Lu Cuihua felt somewhat saddened to see the empty plates on the table.
Da Hu even came to tell her that he was very hungry and hadn't eaten enough today.
Jiang Ertian didn't even think about helping her or leaving her any food; he had already gone back to his room to lie down.
Lu Cuihua gave Da Hu some water, and Da Hu stopped complaining of being hungry.
Clearing the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen was originally Zhao Jingui's job, but now it's all been dumped on her.
But if she doesn't do it, Grandma Jiang definitely won't let her off the hook.
I just hope that these days won't last too long.
Lu Cuihua went to Jiang Lian's room to collect the dishes.
To everyone's surprise, Jiang Lian still had half a pancake left, a little bit of mixed grain rice left, and most of the vegetables were left uneaten.
Jiang Lian fell into the water, making her appear even more delicate.
They even started complaining about the food.
No one knows what Grandma Jiang secretly fed Jiang Lian.
If Jiang Lian can't finish all of this, it means she's not hungry.
But she was hungry.
Lu Cuihua finished the rest of the food in just a few bites.
I drank another bowl of water and finally felt much better.
Grandma Jiang went to see Jiang Lian and asked her if she had eaten dinner. Jiang Lian only said that she had.
Grandma Jiang didn't think much of it, assuming that Jiang Lian had finished eating.
I also made a bowl of ginger soup for Jiang Lian to drink so she could rest.
Zhao Jingui had some free time tonight, so she took a good bath for herself and her two children, and even changed the bed sheets and duvet covers.
Working in the fields from dawn till dusk every day, and busy with various tasks at night, I'm so tired that I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the bed.
Zhao Jingui hasn't tidied up the room properly.
Jiang Dashu helped fetch water, while Zhao Jingui washed clothes by the well.
The washed clothes are hung under the eaves by the door of the room; in such a dry weather, they will basically dry overnight.
Jiang He and Jiang Miao slept in a small bed, separated from their parents' bed by a curtain.
After the lights were turned off at night, Zhao Jingui asked Jiang He in a low voice, "He'er, did you hide the bird eggs well today?"
"Mother, I've hidden myself well, no one will find out," Jiang He replied softly.
"Sister, you found a bird egg? That's amazing! Can we eat it ourselves? Can we not give it to Grandma?"
If it were given to Grandma, she would definitely give it to Auntie and Dahu.
Jiang Miao was a little excited at first, but she remembered to keep her voice down when she was excited.
As she spoke, she became a little downcast.
In her memory, if there was one thing that was considered a good thing, then her grandmother would definitely save it for her aunt, and the second one would be for Da Hu.
Anyway, they can't see or touch it.
"He'er, hide these bird eggs for now. Don't tell anyone, and don't take them out. A lot happened at home today."
My little sister fell into the water, and my mother was already very worried and anxious.
The second son's wife even stole eggs, which made the mother even angrier.
If He'er's bird eggs are discovered by her mother, she might take her anger out on He'er.
Let's talk about it after these few days.
Miao'er, don't bother He'er with this matter, and don't even think about going to see the bird eggs.
Jiang Dashu said seriously.
"Father, we understand."
"Okay, go to sleep early. You're tired today, so it's good to get some rest and a good night's sleep."
Jiang He lay on the bed, side by side with Jiang Miao.
Today she has a new understanding of Jiang's father, mother, and seedlings.
The plot doesn't depict the eldest son's family much, only describing them as passively accepting their fate.
However, both of Jiang's parents doted on the two sisters, and they were not blindly obedient to their mother, as she might have thought. They listened to Grandma Jiang, but they also considered their own families.
Jiang He originally planned to give them a dream of rebirth.
However, she searched her spatial dimension but couldn't find a talisman that could be used to enter dreams. There might only be one.
Those disposable items are used up easily.
From now on, I'll have to rely more on myself to complete tasks.
However, I also learned a lot in the previous worlds.
They also prepared a lot of supplies in the space.
Knowing that the currencies are different in each world, Jiang He specially stored gold, silver, and jewelry.
Jiang He also cleared a plot of land in the space and planted some fruits, vegetables and grains.
Grown in this space, the food possesses its own spirit, and tastes absolutely delicious.
However, the parents in this world seem to be reliable so far, and the younger sister is young but also very sensible and obedient.
Jiang He plans to meet with Jiang Lian tomorrow.
While the eldest son's family finished their late-night discussion, the second son's family was still engaged in a lively discussion.
Lu Cuihua hugged Da Hu and cried.
She felt very wronged.
Judging from Grandma Jiang's appearance, she'll probably be given a ton of work tomorrow, and she probably won't be given any food. Even if she is, it will likely be the worst kind of food.
She did the hardest, most tiring, and most demanding work, and still wasn't getting enough to eat. How did she manage to survive?
Lu Cuihua wanted Jiang Ertian to take Dahu to plead for mercy.
However, Jiang Ertian felt that his mother was still angry, and if he went, she might punish him as well.
Wasn't Da Hu punished along with his mother?
Da Hu is his mother's favorite grandson, and she's willing to punish him. If he dares to plead for Lu Cuihua, he can forget about eating at the table tomorrow.
Therefore, Jiang Ertian refused.
Why did Lu Cuihua steal eggs? Wasn't it all for her son?
The eggs were all given to Da Hu.
She gained nothing and was even branded as a petty thief.
Jiang Ertian is still not helping her.
The older brother would help his wife with the laundry, but Jiang Ertian never did.
Feeling increasingly aggrieved, Lu Cuihua hugged Da Hu and cried even harder.
Jiang Ertian felt annoyed listening to this.
He was exhausted after a long day, and all he wanted to do at night was sleep, but he kept crying.
Isn't this all her own fault?
Her father was about to kick her out.
It was my own cleverness that kept her with me.
It's a bit too much to ask him to plead for mercy now.
