“Second Sister-in-law, there are bamboo chopsticks over there. You might as well grab a pair to eat with!”
Ms. Wang was in the middle of devouring the chunk of meat in her bowl. On hearing Liu Sisi’s words, she thought she was about to be chastised. Without bothering to chew the piece of meat properly, she swallowed it down in one gulp, causing her to choke wildly. Eventually, she managed to swallow the chunk of meat down her throat.
“No need, no need, it’s just a few pieces of meat, not worth the trouble!”
She hastily waved her hand.
Ms. Xin, sitting next to her, quickly grabbed a pair of chopsticks and handed them to Ms. Wang. “Second Sister-in-law, you should eat more slowly. There’s still so much good food. If you eat too much now, you won’t be able to eat the rest of the dishes later.”
Ms. Wang let out an awkward laugh and took the bamboo chopsticks, “It’s fine! I’m really hungry. This is meat after all, can’t let it go to waste. Um… would you like a piece?”
She mumbled incomprehensibly as she made a show of feeding a piece of meat to Ms. Xin.
Ms. Xin quickly stepped back,”No, I’m not hungry. Second Sister-in-law, you can take your time eating.”
Who would want to fight with Ah-Huang for food?
Only this shameless person in front of them would do something like this.
Ms. Wang didn’t mind if Ms. Xin didn’t eat, so she simply turned her chopsticks around and fed herself.
Elderly Mr. Di, who had been sitting in a corner adding firewood to the bonfire, found the whole situation unbearable. He picked up a dustpan filled with vegetable scraps, leaned on his crutch, and left the kitchen towards the chicken coop.
“Old Man, Old Man…”
Ms. Zhao called after him in a soft and sorrowful voice. The sight of her chasing after Elderly Mr. Di led everyone to give them odd looks.
It was only after she had polished off most of the meat and soup from her bowl that she reluctantly put her bowl down.
“Second Sister-in-law! You’ve eaten the delicious meat. There are still some taros that haven’t been washed. Why don’t you take them and wash them by the well? It’s not much work?”
Ms. Xin asked cheerfully, handing over a small bamboo basket of taro.
Ms. Wang jumped back, waving her hands, “I haven’t been feeling well these last couple of days, I can’t touch cold water. Let’s… let’s do this later… Ah! Right! Why haven’t the kids come over yet? I’ll go check!” Without waiting for a response, she quickly exited the kitchen.
“Sisi, your Second Sister-in-law is really a riot!” Guihua burst out laughing.
Both Liu Zhi’er and Ms. Xin next to her also burst into laughter.
“Oh, her! She’s always a riot at home, I’m used to it.”
Ms. Xin casually answered as she quickly cleaned the vegetables.
Despite having split the family and moved out, Ms. Wang still came over to the main kitchen quite frequently. As a person who avoided confrontation, Ms. Xin simply let Ms. Wang grab whatever food she wanted.
Ms. Wang, who already lacked any sense of shame, started to become bolder and more frequent in her visits, practically wanting to eat three meals a day in the main kitchen.
In the end, Ms. Zhao scolded her a few times. The two were evenly matched, fiercly arguing back and forth.
Yet, the more they scolded her, the thicker Ms. Wang’s skin grew. The scoldings could only deter her for a day or two before she was back to her old ways, coming over with an empty bowl whenever meals were ready.
No beating or scolding could deter her, she was as tenacious as a dog skin plaster.
