There is Room For Abandoned Women In the 1980s

Chapter 36 No amount is enough

Gao Guilan was happy because of her daughter's filial piety and gave each of her five children a piece of meat. She did not forget to teach her: "This is for your aunt's blessing. Don't go blind from eating it."

The son is treated better than the grandson. Each can get two pieces of meat and some chicken soup. Two daughters-in-law? You can only eat potatoes and mushrooms. Gao Guilan thought, this is not bad. Compared with those who are hungry and have no food to eat, the two daughters-in-law will be better off when they marry into her old Zheng family.

Zheng Xinyue looked at her bowl full of chicken, and then looked at her sister-in-law’s bowl, which was full of potatoes and mushrooms. She didn’t even pour the chicken soup. How could she be so embarrassed to eat it?

“Xinyue, is your sister-in-law’s cooking unpalatable?”

Gao Guilan saw that her daughter refused to eat, so she hurriedly put her head over to ask her.

Li Xiuqin and Li Xiuli looked at Zheng Xinyue nervously. If the sister-in-law said it was not delicious, they would be scolded. If they didn't make it, they would not be allowed to eat the meal.

Although I didn’t eat chicken, the potatoes had a meaty taste! There are also delicious steamed buns to eat. It’s not easy to have a full meal, but don’t let it get mixed up.

"tasty."

Zheng Xinyue saw the pleading look cast by her sister-in-law, how could she dare to say it was not delicious? I have only traveled through time for a day, and I have already seen how fierce my mother is.

 “It’s delicious, so don’t eat more.”

Well, when she said it was delicious, Gao Guilan forced her to eat it all.

Zheng Xinyue had no choice but to eat meat. The original owner was only given two meals of porridge a day because of the anger in the Zhang family. There was no oil or water in her stomach. She didn't feel full even after eating a bowl of chicken. This was after eating fruits from the space and three roasted dishes given by her sister-in-law. Sweet potatoes are at the bottom!

Zheng Xinyue suspected that the body of the original owner was not a bottomless pit! Why do you feel hungry after eating so much?

 “Mom will pick chestnuts for you to eat. This food is good and will help you!”

Here Zheng Xinyue had finished eating the chicken, and over there Gao Guilan had already picked up half a bowl of chestnuts for her daughter. No one else could eat the good stuff, including herself, and she couldn't bear to put any of it in her mouth.

 “Thank you, Mom.”

Zheng Xinyue took the bowl and found that her nephews and nieces all looked at her and swallowed their saliva. It was so pitiful.

"What are you looking at? Isn't it enough to eat meat? Greedy things, you know how to eat trash after raising them."

Gao Guilan's loud voice started shouting again, and several little carrot heads were so frightened that they quickly lowered their heads, not daring to take another look.

 “Mom, I’m full.”

Zheng Xinyue has become wiser and dare not tell her mother to give the chestnuts to the five children for fear of her high-pitched scolding.

 “Take it back to the house when you are full. Save it for when you are hungry in the middle of the night.”

Who knew that her roundabout tactics would not work? Gao Guilan shattered her attempt to share the chestnuts with the children with one sentence.

 After finishing the meal, Gao Guilan directed his two daughters-in-law to clean up the dishes and then followed his daughter to the west room.

Looking at the thin mattress on the kang, Gao Guilan felt distressed and rushed to the door to yell at Li Xiuqin.

"Boss, wife, do you have a dark heart? You just left a quilt for me, Xinyue. I wonder if Xinyue is thin and will get hurt?"

Zheng Xinyue stroked her forehead, feeling that she and her sister-in-law had settled their feud.

No matter how angry Li Xiuqin was, she didn't dare to say anything. She hurried back to her room and brought another mattress.

“These used to belong to my daughter. She was kind enough to give them to you when she got married, but you still keep them when she comes back?”

Gao Guilan snatched the mattress and scolded her daughter-in-law again, until she scolded Li Xiuqin until she lowered her head and shrank her neck like a defeated quail.
