The Brilliant Life of a Post-Apocalyptic Female Boss Reborn at 70

Xin Yi noticed Feng Hua's uncomfortable expression and asked in confusion, "Auntie, is there something wrong with the porridge I cooked? Or did you find a pebble in it? No way, I carefully picked through all the pebbles, there aren't any!"

Fearing that Xin Yi might overthink things and guess that she knew her secrets, Feng Hua quickly said, "There were no pebbles, I just accidentally bit my tongue, it hurts a little!"

Xin Yi, unsuspecting, said, "Oh, so you want to eat meat? You weren't tired of it last night, were you? There's still some left in the pot. Why don't you take some to the hospital for lunch?"

Watching Xin Yi eat her breakfast without any reaction, Feng Hua could only comfort herself in her heart: It's okay, if I don't go to hell, who will? If it's not a deadly poison, there's still hope. As long as I get to the hospital, I don't have to be afraid.

Thinking of this, Feng Hua felt much more at ease. Instead, she felt a sense of unease, like the enemy was in the open while she was in the dark. She was no longer nervous and happily began to eat.

"Yiyi, were these eggs cooked in braising liquid? They taste really good, delicious!"

"Eat more if you like it!"

Xin Yi pushed the remaining braised eggs in front of Feng Hua, who didn't stand on ceremony and ate two in a row, then drank two bowls of porridge before finally putting down her chopsticks with satisfaction.

"Yiyi, I'm done eating. Let's go to the hospital now!"

"Okay, Auntie, can I borrow a lunchbox? I need to bring breakfast for my sister-in-law and the others!"

"I have several lunchboxes in the kitchen cupboard. Go get them yourself!"

"Okay, then you take a rest. I'll wash the dishes and pack the food, then we'll head out!"

Feng Hua originally wanted to offer to wash the dishes, but when she thought that Xin Yi might be a spy, she didn't want to say anything. Since she offered to wash the dishes, she would let her have her way!

"Thank you for your hard work!"

Xin Yi hadn't expected such a big misunderstanding. Feng Hua was an elder, so it was only right that she wash the dishes. She stood up, tidied up the dishes, and went to the kitchen.

Xin Yi had just finished washing the dishes when she heard Feng Hua's voice.

"Yiyi, the hospital called and told me to go early. There's a difficult patient they need me to see."

"Okay, work is the most important thing. I'll lock the door in a bit, you can go now!"

"Then I'll leave first!"

The hospital called? I didn't hear the phone ring. Was it on silent, or did I just miss it? My aunt wouldn't make things up.

Xin Yi filled a lunchbox with porridge and a box of pig intestines. She decided not to take the meat bones as they were too much trouble. She also peeled the shells off the two half-eaten braised eggs from breakfast and put them on top of the pig intestines.

He grabbed a cloth bag, packed the two lunchboxes in, locked the gate, and went out.

Xin Yi made a few inquiries and found the hospital. When she arrived at Wu Guihua's room, everyone was already up, but the bed near the door was empty.

"Sister-in-law, why are you up so early? Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

"Yiyi's here! Have you had breakfast yet? I was just about to ask your second brother to go to the hospital cafeteria to buy breakfast!"

Xin Yi carried the bag to the innermost part of the house. "No need to buy anything. Didn't I say I brought some for you? Eat up, or it'll get cold!"

He put the bag on the small table, opened the lunchbox, and the aroma instantly filled the air.

Wu Guihua walked over in a few steps. "It smells so good! Why does it smell like meat?"

The pig intestines in the lunchbox were cut into rings by Xin Yi.

"Yiyi, is this meat? Who eats meat so early in the morning?"

When Zhang Lao Er heard Wu Guihua's words, he came over to take a look and saw that it really was meat. However, he knew that Xin Yi meant well, so he didn't say anything and silently went to get the lunchbox and divided the porridge in half.

"Sister-in-law, this isn't meat, it's just pig intestines!"

Seeing the bewildered looks on Wu Guihua and her husband's faces, Xin Yi had no choice but to explain, "Pig intestines are a good thing, they smell delicious, don't they?"

Wu Guihua and her husband both nodded in agreement.

"If it smells good, then eat it! It tastes really good, eat it while it's hot. But my sister-in-law is pregnant, so she can't eat too much!"

Wu Guihua took her chopsticks and gave half of the braised egg to Zhang Lao Er, while taking the other half for herself. Zhang Lao Er, feeling sorry for his wife, gave the egg in his bowl to Wu Guihua. Wu Guihua tried to return it, but Zhang Lao Er tightly covered his lunchbox.

Xin Yi couldn't stand it anymore. "It's just half an egg! Is there any need to be so modest? I'll make the decision: the egg goes to my sister-in-law, and my second brother gets to eat more pig intestines. It's settled then!"

Hearing that Xin Yi was on his side, Zhang Lao Er happily picked up a piece of pig intestine and put it in his mouth.

"It's delicious! This pig intestine tastes even better than meat! Honey, you have to try it!"

"Ok!"

Wu Guihua agreed and picked up a piece as well. "It's really delicious! The texture is amazing! Yiyi, how did you do that? It's even better than meat!"

Xin Yi kept everyone in suspense, saying, "This is my secret recipe. I'll teach you after you finish your postpartum confinement!"

"Okay, then it's settled!"

Wu Guihua was especially happy at the thought of being able to make such delicious food herself in the future.

Xin Yi thought for a moment, then asked the question that had been bothering her, "Sister-in-law, where did the person in the next bed go?"

"Where could she go? Home, of course. That old hag woke Li Xiufen up before dawn, saying she was going home to recuperate after childbirth!"

After Wu Guihua finished speaking, she looked unhappy.

"Who goes home the day after giving birth? That old hag is a real scoundrel!"

“Who says otherwise? Li Xiufen originally wanted to stay another day, but this old hag wouldn’t allow it. She said she gave birth to a money-losing child and still wants to enjoy life. She should go home and take care of the whole family!”

Xin Yi thought for a moment, "Didn't I hear that Li Xiufen's husband died? How could she still have such a large family?"

Wu Guihua almost choked in her excitement, and Zhang Lao Er quickly patted her back, saying, "Slow down, why get angry with that kind of person? She's not your mother-in-law. My mom wouldn't do something like that!"

Wu Guihua rolled her eyes at Zhang Lao Er, "Luckily, my mother-in-law isn't that kind of person, otherwise I would have divorced you long ago!"

After Wu Guihua finished speaking, she stopped looking at Zhang Lao Er and continued sharing gossip with Xin Yi.

"I heard that this old hag has a young son who has been married for several years and has a three-year-old son. She dotes on this grandson. Li Xiufen's husband died, and it would have been fine if she had given birth to a son. But now she has given birth to a daughter, which means the first wife's lineage is cut off. She will be even less favored by the old hag, and her future days will be miserable!"

Xin Yi remembered that Feng Yi and Li Xiufen's brother's husband were comrades-in-arms. It seemed that she had to remind Feng Yi to help Li Xiufen seek justice, or to directly separate the family. With her husband's pension, it should be easy for her to support a child. If she was a good person, she could help her in the future. Women should help each other.

"Sister-in-law, you should eat breakfast first. We can talk after you finish. Don't choke again!"
