Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Frustrating

Translator: 549690339

“This year’s birthday packages are even better than before, Jin Cai’s wife is becoming quite skillful.” Mrs. Han Wang, after enjoying a few birthday packages, was in a great mood and spoke with a cheerful smile, the harsh tone from before nowhere in sight.

Old Man Han’s original name was Han Jincai, and although Mrs. Han Wang was slightly younger, she was Han Jinhu’s stepwife, hence she addressed Mrs. Yang as Jin Cai’s wife.

The Han family members made birthday packages themselves but had hardly indulged in eating them; they hadn’t even delivered them to the kitchen before Mrs. Han Wang had snatched a few. Fortunately, they had made plenty, so a few missing wouldn’t be a problem. Otherwise, the people from the Main House would surely have something to say about it. Yet, even though it was somewhat unsettling, the Han family members knew the character of those from the Main House all too well, including their habits. Nobody said anything, nor did they show any dissatisfaction. As long as the people from the Main House didn’t cause trouble, they were content to simply get through Grandma Han’s birthday in peace.

“Jinhu’s wife, you gluttonous lazybones, I as the old lady haven’t even tasted one birthday package, and there you are, gobbling them down. Tell me, other than eating, what else are you good for?”

Mrs. Han Wang had not yet completely swallowed the birthday packages in her mouth when Grandma Han started to berate her loudly, making it clear that Mrs. Han Wang was out of luck. She had hoped to sneak a few while the others from the Main House were unaware. Since she believed the people from the Second House wouldn’t dare to complain, it was quite unfortunate for her to be caught by her mother-in-law.

However, even when caught by the old lady, Mrs. Han Wang didn’t panic. Even if the mother-in-law got angry, she would at most scold her a bit. After all, she had given birth to two sons for the Han family and was considered a hero in their home. Her position in the family was secure, and a few harsh words wouldn’t affect her. Besides, the food was already in her stomach; it wasn’t as if she could spit it out.

“Mother-in-law, I was truly hungry. And I only ate one or two; it really doesn’t affect anything. It won’t make the home go poor, nothing serious,” she replied.

To talk back after being caught snacking! Incensed, Grandma Han pointed her finger angrily at Mrs. Han Wang, yet she could not really do anything to her. She could only fume, “You lazybones who only knows how to eat, hurry up and get to work in the kitchen. If you delay today’s noontime preparations, see if I will let you off easy!”

After Grandma Han finished scolding Mrs. Han Wang, she turned her wrath toward the people from the Second House, her tone even more unkind, “Are you all dead standing there? What are you waiting for? Get to work. Do you really see yourselves as guests waiting for this old lady to serve you? A bunch of lazy goods, good-for-nothings, just looking at you makes me frustrated!”

Su Wenyue truly experienced the attitude of Grandma Han and the people from the Main House for the first time as she was scolded for no reason. Supposedly coming to offer birthday wishes, she realized she was just being made to work like a servant by the people from the Main House.

Having long been accustomed to the old lady’s behavior, everyone from the Second House, except Su Wenyue, went automatically to work in the kitchen, knowing full well that the old lady would otherwise make an even bigger scene.
