Spatial Peasant Girl: These Mad Darlings Are Delicate and Gullible

Chapter 6

Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes. “I heard so much from you just now, Second Aunt. I thought you were worried we wouldn’t have a good life after we separated and came here to visit us.”

“I saw something hidden behind your back just now. I thought it was because you know my dad was injured, so you’re here to send some condolences.”

“But I didn’t expect you’d be here to ask for fish.”

Madam Song didn’t even glare at her this time. Her expression was cold, and she had no intention of taking the bowl.

Xiaoxiao was right. Her husband was still lying on the bed. They didn’t want to care about him, but they still wanted to get benefits from him.

Her daughter was right. The Second Aunt was here to take advantage of her!

“Sister-in-law, you came too late.”

Madam Song said calmly, “We’ve already finished eating the fish.”

Second Aunt Ning raised her eyebrows. “How is that possible? It’s not time for dinner yet!”

She had come at the time because she thought they had just finished cooking the fish and had no time to eat it. It just so happened that she could take advantage of it. But how could they have finished it?

Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and raised her chin. I predicted your prediction!

Ning Erlang rolled his eyes. He gave his sister a thumbs up.

What they ate was not a waste. Letting her take the fish back would be a deficit, and they would be angry!

Second Aunt Ning said suspiciously, “Could it be that you can’t bear to eat it and are deliberately lying to me?”

As she spoke, she walked towards the kitchen.

Bowls and chopsticks were on the kitchen’s small table that had yet to be cleaned up. Second Aunt Ning casually picked up a pair of chopsticks and exclaimed, “That’s it? That’s it?”

Madam Song stopped her daughter and spoke.

“That’s right. You’ve seen the scene now. There are so many people at home. We finished it before we felt full.”

She was reminding Second Aunt Ning that it was not easy for them.

However, what kind of person was Second Aunt Ning? Even if others starved to death before her, she would probably only think it was too good to have one less person snatch food from her.

She would not empathize with others, not in her lifetime.

Hence, she asked without thinking, “Why are you eating dinner so early? Your minds are filled with food, but you don’t think about your parents! In this day and age, it’s not good to be lazy!”

There was even a hint of reprimand in her words.

Madam Song laughed in anger.

“After all, we’re not like you. Other than lying in bed to recuperate daily, you’re just strolling around the village and gossiping.”

“I can’t count the number of things I must do daily. Everyone is top-notch diligent, whether it’s the children, me, or even his dad, who doesn’t forget to weave a bamboo basket while lying in bed.”

“Not to mention eating dinner earlier, even if we have three meals a day, it won’t affect others!”

To conserve food, the farmers only ate two meals a day. Only the landlords could eat three meals a day like the people in the city.

She had said those words out of anger. Second Aunt Ning had indeed been angered.

“What the hell!”

Once angry, she had no manners and became even more unrestrained.

“As expected, you came from a low-income family with no parents to teach you. Not only did you jinx your biological parents to death, but you also jinxed your husband into bedridden. Now, you still have shame to eat and drink!”

“Why didn’t the heavens strike you to death with lightning… Ouch!”

“Who pushed me?”

Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked innocent. “No, Second Aunt, you kicked the corner of the table, right?”

With that, she even held down Ning Erlang, who was angry and stopped him from going forward.

Second Aunt Ning saw them as easy to bully, so she turned around proudly.

There were no more fish in the Pickle Boiled Fish, but the fresh fragrance lingered for a long time. She swallowed her saliva and stuffed the leftovers on the table into her bowl, not letting go of the pickled vegetables.

Seeing this scene, Xiaoxiao was even more glad they had eaten dinner beforehand. Otherwise, with Second Aunt Ning’s behavior, wouldn’t they have nothing to eat?

In addition to the Pickle Boiled Fish, there was a plate of stewed mushrooms. Some were left on the plate while hurrying to eat the fish first.

Second Aunt Ning pursed her lips and took them all away with a look of disdain.

Second Aunt Ning would even want to walk around the kitchen again if it weren’t for the two men’s stern expressions.

Ning Erlang clenched his fists and asked Xiaoxiao.

“What are you afraid of her for?”
