Quick Wear: The saints are too miserable, the host will never be soft-hearted
Chapter 221: Don’t Try to Sucking Blood from Adopted Sons and Daughters 4
Yuan Zifan pursed his lips, lowered his head, took Yuan Danv's hand, and followed Liu Lanlan to the main hall where Old Lady Jiang had just rushed in.
There was no one in the yard, so Damao turned around and climbed down the wall.
"They don't look like beggars, but the two children crying at the Jiang family have the surname Yuan?" Lu Aihong was a little confused. "There's no family with the surname Yuan in our village, right?"
"Yes! I, Liu Damao, have been all over the village and know the children of every household, but I have never seen them before."
"Look at how capable you are. The Jiang family is finally quiet now. Damao, go out and close the door. Mom will sleep a little longer."
"Those scallion pancakes...oh my!"
Da Mao ran out the door. Lu Aihong was holding the pillow that she hadn't thrown away yet, and she scolded him with a smile, "Greedy kid."
When Liu Lanlan got up for the second time to get food, she already felt distressed. These two kids were too naughty. They stuffed food into their mouths as if they had never eaten in their lives.
Although the snacks she took were not expensive and were almost past their expiration date, she could still use them to feed Sanzhu and coax him into helping her with work. Now that she had that, she was being kind.
Liu Lanlan cursed herself inwardly, took a deep breath and sat at the table. Suddenly, she saw the gloomy old lady Jiang. "Mom, I haven't asked you yet. Why did you lock the door in broad daylight?"
Old Mrs. Jiang asked, "I was just wondering, didn't you say Sanzhu was greedy for dumplings? I asked you to buy a pound of pork. Where's the pork?"
Liu Lanlan's expression froze, then she stretched out a hand and rubbed her thumb and index finger.
Influenced by Sanzhu since childhood, Mrs. Jiang felt a headache when she saw this gesture, and said helplessly: "Didn't I give you the money for the meat?"
Liu Lanlan smiled and said, "It's enough money for meat. I'll go to town to buy meat for my family. If I'm hungry, I'll have a bowl of white noodles, right? Mom, do you think the money for noodles is enough..."
"No."
Old Mrs. Jiang turned her head away, then turned back and asked unwillingly, "I gave you two cents a couple of days ago, and you don't have a penny left?!"
Liu Lanlan whispered, "Those two cents aren't enough to buy noodles."
"Okay, stop talking." Old Mrs. Jiang rubbed her temples and saw the brother and sister eating noisily at the table. There was a mixture of pity and sorrow in her eyes.
Liu Lanlan followed Old Lady Jiang's gaze and thought she was worried about the food, so she immediately said, "Hey, you two, are you full? If you're full, go back to your parents."
Then she suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Old Lady Jiang, "Mom, why are these two children in our yard? They're crying towards my second sister-in-law's house. Do you know what's going on?"
Mrs. Jiang said vaguely, "Why are you asking this? I didn't hear anything in the room."
"Is that so?" Liu Lanlan was still curious and planned to ask Lu Yi when she had the chance.
Yuan Danniu held the biscuit in her hand and chewed it with a bulging mouth. "Auntie, this biscuit is not tasty. Do you have anything better? I'm not full yet."
Liu Lanlan was speechless. "If there's something delicious, do you think Auntie doesn't know how to eat it?"
How could she bear to give the precious snacks and food to two unrelated children? These were naturally kept to feed Sanzhu from time to time after she had made some mistakes.
I can’t think about it anymore. The more I think about it, the more I regret it.
Liu Lanlan stood up and said, "You guys should go back. It's almost time for dinner. Your parents should be worried."
Yuan Zifan said quietly, "Auntie, our parents are dead, and my sister and I are the only ones left at home."
How pitiful! Old Mrs. Jiang began to feel sorry for the two children again. How could the second child's family be so heartless? Look at Zifan, his voice has become hoarse from howling.
The third son's wife has always been sweet-mouthed and kind-hearted, and is definitely better than the second son's wife! Old Mrs. Jiang sat up straight and looked at Liu Lanlan with faint expectation.
Contrary to what she thought, Liu Lanlan was shocked. "What?! You are orphans?"
Yuan Zifan lowered his eyelashes and frowned slightly. He didn't like being called like that!
But the current situation...well, just bear with it.
"You don't have any relatives on your father's side? What about your mother's side? Not a single distant relative?"
When Liu Lanlan asked a question, Yuan Zifan shook his head and didn't want to eat the soft biscuits in his mouth.
"Oh my God, it's so rare for me to do a good deed, and I was hoping someone would appreciate it, but I ended up running into two little beggars." There was a hint of contempt in Liu Lanlan's words.
Yuan Danniu retorted loudly, "My brother and I are not beggars! You are not allowed to talk about us like that!"
Yuan Zifan shook his head at Yuan Danniu, signaling her not to speak, then bit his lip and said to Liu Lanlan, "Thank you, Auntie, for giving us food. Although we don't have parents anymore, Danniu and I will appreciate your kindness. You are a good person."
These words did not stir Liu Lanlan's ears at all.
What could two little kids do? Besides, they were probably so poor they were practically begging for food. Besides, did she expect them to appreciate her kindness?!
Liu Lanlan snorted, her attitude no longer as warm as when they first met. "Alright, alright, it's my bad luck. Both of you stop eating. Let's go, let's go!"
Seeing that Yuan Zifan was about to be dragged out, Old Lady Jiang could no longer sit still, "Lanlan, these two children haven't eaten enough yet!"
"What's the point of asking if they're full or not? Just give me some alms. I'm not their mother."
"Lanlan! Put it down, put it down. Actually..." Old Mrs. Jiang had a complicated expression. She modified what she said to Lu Yi and repeated it to Liu Lanlan.
When it was time for dinner, Lu Yi pushed open the door and came to the main hall where they ate. Almost everyone was there, and Old Man Jiang and Old Lady Jiang were sitting at the main seats.
"Second sister-in-law, you picked a really good time. You came as soon as the meal was ready." Wang Zhaoyin said with a smile.
Lu Yi glanced at the food on the table and sat down in the empty seat next to Liu Lanlan. "What else?"
"Should I wait until you guys have finished eating before coming over?" Lu Yi asked seriously.
Wang Zhaoyin paused, not saying anything else. He then handed the rice spoon to Old Lady Jiang, "Mom, everyone is here. You can serve the rice."
Mrs. Jiang was about to go pick it up when Liu Lanlan suddenly said, "Wait! Let's have a meeting first and clarify things before we eat."
Wang Zhaoyin was stunned, thinking that Liu Lanlan was talking about the distribution of housework among the three daughters-in-law. How could that be more important than having hot meals and dishes?
"Third sister-in-law, can we talk about non-urgent matters after dinner?"
Liu Lanlan still had a sullen expression on her face. "This matter cannot be delayed."
Jiang Sanzhu came closer and asked, "What's wrong with you? Your face looks so ugly, and you think the food is hard to eat? I'll go to town to buy some pork tomorrow."
Liu Lanlan swallowed and said, "Don't talk for now."
She looked directly at Mrs. Jiang, "Mom, do you want to speak or should I?"
Old Mrs. Jiang lowered her head, not even taking the spoon for the rice, and stammered, "Lanlan, can't you be kind?"
