Chapter 55: Snatching Food From Jiang Xi?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The second uncle of the Jiang family was the son of Jiang Xi’s stepmother after she married into the family. Her stepmother had three sons in total. Due to her sons’ support, even the Old Master of the Jiang family did not dare to speak harshly to her in the Jiang family’s old residence.
Village chief? Jiang Xi blinked, but she did not take it to heart. She used to be the invisible director of Zhoushan Mental Hospital. She had already experienced the joy of being a leader, so she had no interest in being the village chief.
While they were talking, the Jiang family had already arrived at the Jiang family’s old residence. The chirping of chickens could be heard from the old house. A group of hens had just laid eggs and were clattering for food.
“Grandma, little brother said he wanted to eat steamed eggs. We just picked up seven eggs today, why don’t we steam two for him? With two more drops of sesame oil…”Jiang Xi’s family entered the door and saw Jiang Lin talking to an old lady with a thin face but sharp eyes.
“All you know is to eat! Hurry up and go harvest some wild grass to feed my rabbits. If my rabbits are hungry, I’ll skin you alive!” Seeing someone come in, the old lady quickly scolded Jiang Lin and then quickly hid the eggs.
When Jiang Guoyou saw this, he laughed bitterly.
“Big brother, you’re here. Come in and have dinner. I wanted to go over and have a gathering with you guys yesterday, but I heard that you had an important guest at home, so I didn’t want to disturb you. I just happened to go to town to buy some wine and food today. Big brother, come in quickly.” Jiang Guoan enthusiastically pulled Jiang Guoyou into the house. Jiang Guoan was the second uncle of the Jiang family who wanted to participate in this year’s village chief election.
“Why did you bring so many things when you’re already here? These are all gifts from the Zhao family, right? You guys are too polite.” Tian Hong quickly took the bag from Yang Fen’s hand, but before she could open it, it was taken away by the Old Madam of the Jiang family. The corners of Tian Hong’s mouth twitched. She was a little unhappy. She was Zhou Guoan’s wife and usually had the air of the village chief’s wife.
“Jiang Si, come in and eat. Your grandfather has been waiting for you for a long time. When Zhang Qin saw Jiang Si, her eyes lit up and she enthusiastically pulled him into the house. The Jiang family’s sons took their seats one by one, but Jiang Xi was stopped.”You girls, go next door. Don’t get involved in the men’s drinking and eating.”
Jiang Xi looked into the house and saw that the main house was full of men. The dining table was full of wine and food, and a tall and thin old man was sitting at the head of the table. There was a small table in the side room where the girls of the Jiang family were sitting. The Old Madam of the Jiang family was also sitting there with her eyes narrowed. Jiang Xi turned around and entered the side room to find a random seat. The Old Madam of the Jiang family gave her a dissatisfied look.
“Is that a seat you can sit in? What’s with the girl’s behavior? Hurry up and go to the kitchen to help serve the dishes. No wonder you can’t get married.” Tian Hong frowned and shouted at Jiang Xi.
“You married well to such a family. No wonder you didn’t eat at the table.” Jiang Xi did not even look at Tian Hong.
“How could you speak to my mother like that!” Jiang Lin took advantage of her strong appearance and snatched Jiang Xi’s bowl and chopsticks. She even looked at Jiang Xi smugly. “Let’s see how you’re going to eat without your bowl and chopsticks. Just watch us eat!”
Yang Fen was helping out in the kitchen.She thought that Jiang Xi would be as obedient as before, not saying a word or resisting. Although Jiang Xi was as obedient as he used to be, she still took out the lotus leaf chicken in front of everyone. The fragrance of the lotus leaf chicken made it difficult for everyone to swallow when they looked at the table full of food. The Old Madam of the Jiang family looked very pale as if she was constipated. Jiang Xi, that wretched girl, had actually brought her own food when she came to their house as a guest?!
“I never eat pig feed.” Jiang Xi glanced at the food on the table and said, “These things are for my little piggy.”
Jiang Lin was so jealous that her eyes turned red. She quickly reached out to the lotus leaf chicken. Jiang Xi was not slow either. She hit the back of Jiang Lin’s hand with a loud smack, and the back of her hand turned red.
“Sob, sob, sob!” Jiang Lin burst into tears.
The old residence was supposed to maintain a superficial harmony. However, Jiang Xi hit Jiang Lin until the back of her hand was red and swollen. Jiang Lin’s wailing attracted everyone’s attention. When they looked over, they saw Jiang Xi holding an oily lotus leaf chicken in one hand and gnawing on a chicken leg in the other.
“Father, father, Jiang Xi hit me. I just wanted to give a chicken leg to grandma, but Jiang Xi hit me.” Jiang Lin was crying and complaining to Jiang Guoan. At this time, Yang Fen came out of the kitchen with dishes and had no idea what had happened.
