Chapter 305: The cannon fodder sister-in-law in the group favorite article (3)
Something is better than nothing. Jiang Lai accepted it calmly and washed his face, thinking about the plot.
The original owner was a complete cannon fodder. Essentially, she was a rural woman with little knowledge and a small belly but had never done any bad things. In the end, she was despised and abandoned by her husband's family, and finally committed suicide by jumping into a river.
Jiang Lai didn't feel much because she didn't have time to pity others. After all, now she had become the cannon fodder sister-in-law who would die in the winter two years later.
Now this body is severely malnourished. The reason why he fainted in the wheat field just now was because of anemia. In the original plot, the original owner was finally carried to the rural health center, but when he woke up, he met Lu Cuiping and her family. As soon as he saw his daughter-in-law lying on the bed, he yelled and cursed, thinking that she was lazy and pretending to be sick and not working.
The original owner had no choice but to swallow his bitter words, and continued to be disliked by his mother-in-law when he served dinner at night.
But this time, Jiang Lai got up and walked back. Now there were only one son and one daughter of the eldest daughter-in-law at home. The eldest, seven years old, was playing in the mud in the yard, and the youngest, two years old, was sitting on the ground crawling.
After Jiang Lai came back, he went directly into the kitchen next to the main house. When he went in, he saw that there was not even a hair around the stove with two pots on it except firewood and straw. All the food was neatly cleaned up and Lu Cuiping Locked in a wooden cabinet aside.
Looking at the lock in front of him, Jiang Lai stretched out his hand and pulled hard, and the lock hanging on it fell off.
Looking at his hands, Jiang Lai nodded with satisfaction.
Not bad, the strength is still there, and the body is not all weak.
In the cupboard there were rice, noodles, oil, a bucket of bacon, and a basin of snow-white lard. Next to the lard basin was a basket of eggs.
Jiang Lai took out eight eggs and shouted out the door.
"Goudan, come here and help me burn the pot!"
The little boy who was peeing and playing with live mud ran over and obediently began to help Jiang Lai cook the pot, blowing and asking questions.
"Third Aunt, what are you doing?"
"Eat fried eggs."
As soon as the little baby heard about the eggs, he immediately drooled from the corner of his mouth.
"Want to fry eggs for my little aunt?"
"Give the dog eggs to eat."
"If grandma doesn't allow it, grandma will beat me."
Even the young Goudan knows who has the final say in this family, and also knows that the eggs in the cupboard are saved by grandma for a little aunt to eat.
Jiang Lai smiled and scooped a large spoonful of lard directly into the pot. After the lard was split, he quickly beat eight eggs into it. Even the yolks of pure grass-fed eggs were large and red. There was a sizzling sound in the pot, and the aroma of eggs mixed with the special aroma of lard instantly filled the small space and came out along the chimney.
Jiang Lai packed four of the eight eggs for himself, and the two children each squatted outside with a gapped bowl to eat.
Goudan held the egg and ate it with great care, while the two-year-old Ermao next to him opened his mouth wide, stuffing eggs into his mouth with snot and saliva.
Jiang Lai also dipped it in some sugar and drank four eggs in one breath, which finally dispelled the strong hunger in his stomach.
As soon as they finished eating, the door to the courtyard was pushed open. Xie Yumian smelled the fragrance of eggs when she entered. She thought her mother had come back early to fry eggs for her. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the door, she saw Jiang Lai with two The children each held a bowl and ate eggs.
"Third sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Jiang glanced at her, then calmly swallowed the last mouthful, then threw the empty bowl to Goudan for him to wash.
"I'm hungry, I'm eating eggs."
Xie Yumian looked at Jiang Lai's mouth full of oil with a shocked look on his face, then walked directly into the kitchen and saw a lot of oil left at the bottom of the pot, as well as the opened cupboard, and half of the eggs in the basket were missing.
"Third sister-in-law, how could you steal the eggs at home? We all saved so many eggs, and you ate most of them in one go!"
Jiang Lai wiped the oil from his mouth and sighed happily.
"People are starving to death. Besides, these eggs belong to the Xie family. I am also a member of the Xie family. What's wrong with eating a few eggs? Is it illegal?"
Xie Yumian didn't expect that Jiang Lai would dare to talk to her like this. Not only did he not panic when he stole the most precious egg in the house, he was even very arrogant. She was so angry that she was speechless for a while. She just glanced at Jiang Lai and turned around. Walk toward the fields.
Soon, a sharp and harsh yelling came from outside. As the sound got closer and closer, Goudan, who had just eaten the egg, hid behind Jiang Lai in fear.
"Third aunt, grandma is going to be beaten."
In the past, when he was greedy and ate his aunt's malted milk, his grandma would scold him. Today, he would definitely be beaten again if he ate his aunt's eggs.
But even if he was beaten, he was not afraid. As long as he could eat eggs and be beaten, it would be okay.
If he was beaten every day and could eat every day, then he hoped that his grandma would beat him every day.
Lu Cuiping came back aggressively with the other two daughters-in-law. When she came back, she first glared at Jiang Lai, then eagerly went into the kitchen to take a look. The next second there was a burst of angry curses.
"You damn greedy thing!! You ate so many eggs from our house! You're going to die tonight because you ate so many eggs, eight. Why didn't you starve to death after eating eight? Oh! I, the Xie family, have been in trouble for eight lifetimes, you are such a greedy woman!”
Lu Cuiping's ability to scold people is ranked among the best in the whole village. With her fierce confidence, she has trained several sons and daughters-in-law to be docile. She doesn't have much good looks towards others except her daughter. Now Jiang Lai ate eight eggs in one go, which made her so angry that she almost fainted. Cursing in her mouth, she picked up the broom by the wall and whipped it towards Jiang Lai.
Here, it is normal for a mother-in-law to hit her daughter-in-law. At this time, many people gathered around the door to watch the fun.
The broom was quite powerful. Jiang Lai stretched out his hand to grab it, and then pulled the broom out of Lu Cuiping's hand with a strong movement of his arm.
"What's wrong with how many eggs my nephews and nieces and I eat? I wonder if there are eggs on the table every day. The youngest Goudan and Ermao have never eaten eggs, and the second pregnant daughter-in-law doesn't even smell the smell of eggs. But, I thought you didn’t like it.”
By this time, the eldest daughter-in-law had already asked Goudan, and the corners of the two children's mouths were still shiny. It was obvious that they had also eaten the egg.
When the second daughter-in-law heard what Jiang Lai said, her heart felt sour again.
Isn't that right? She has never seen this egg before. Everyone knows who is left here to eat, but isn't it just to keep her precious sister-in-law? (End of chapter)
