Chapter 560: Chapter 559: An Ambiguous Gaze_1
In the Su House in the Capital City, there was a gatekeeper named Liu and an old woman named Chen, both responsible for rough chores, they were managers in Jufeng Trading Company, transferred there under the direction of Luo Zhan.
Both of their servitude contracts were still held by Jufeng Trading Company.
Having spent two years working for the Su family, Liu and Chen both had great personalities.
Li Xiu’e intended to buy their servitude contracts and discussed the matter with them while they were cooking dinner.
Both were quite comfortable working in the Su House and gladly agreed.
Aunt Chen helped Li Xiu’e prepare a sumptuous dinner.
Li Xiu’e brought a big basin of red braised pork ribs from the kitchen, with the mouthwatering aroma filling the air, a taste full of memories.
“Mom’s red braised pork ribs are so fragrant!”
Wang Meng sniffed and drooled, his stomach rumbling with happiness.
“Brother Meng, feel free to eat as much as you want, there’s plenty more!”
Li Xiu’e placed the basin of food on the table with a delighted smile.
“Let me help Aunt Li serve dishes.”
Feng Yi, feeling embarrassed to eat without helping, volunteered to serve dishes from the kitchen.
“Let’s help too!”
Wang Meng and Shitou responded and ran after him to the kitchen.
In no time, the three brothers each carried a basin of food out from the kitchen.
“Wow, you guys filled the whole basin!”
Su Hu entered the dining room humming a tune and carrying a wine jug, beaming as he saw four large basins of food lined up on the table.
“Xuan’er, Maodou, Heidou, Sister Wan, Niuniu, it’s time for dinner!”
Lin Qingluo walked out of the living room smiling and called the five younger siblings, who were playing in the courtyard.
“Dinnertime!”
At the sound of their sister’s voice, the five younger siblings happily ran back, extending their little hands, waiting for their sister to pour water to wash up.
“Awo.”
Baoya was also among them, extending its paw as if it was also waiting for water.
“Line up, one by one.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes crinkled, she poured water for her younger siblings, one by one.
When it was Baoya’s turn, she deliberately bent down and poured a little water on its two front paws.
The younger siblings laughed and rubbed their dirty hands, playfully splashing water on each other while washing, laughing uproariously.
Lin Qingluo watched her younger brothers and sisters play happily, enjoying their innocent laughter, feeling exceptionally comfortable and happy.
It was a rare occasion for the family to be reunited, sitting together at the table for dinner and enjoying the long overdue warmth.
“Mom’s cooking is really delicious, no worse than Sister Feng Liu’s.”
Shitou gnawed on some meat bones, suddenly remembering Feng Liu and gave Feng Yi an ambiguous look.
“Just eat your meal.”
Feng Yi saw right through his thoughts and rolled his eyes at him.
“What’s going on between you two? If you have any secrets, just come out with them and let us all listen.”
With his straightforward personality, Wang Meng couldn’t help but talk, shoving a steamed bun into his mouth and puffing up his cheeks to ask.
“Hehe.”
Shitou kept chuckling like a thief.”/>
“Stop laughing, just spit it out.”
Wang Meng couldn’t wait any longer and nudged him with his elbow.
“Ow! What’s with the force? That hurts!”
Shitou wailed, finally stopping his laughter.
“Shitou, you’ve become an outsider since going back to the village.”
Their antics caught Lin Qingluo’s attention: “Just say what you have to say, stop playing mysterious.”
“Hey, hey, how would I dare to keep secrets from our little Master?”
Shitou immediately changed his tone, flattering while smiling, “Isn’t it about Sister Feng Liu and Big Brother Jinyu…”
