Rebirth in the 50s: The Couple with the Hidden Space novel Chapter 1201

Chapter 1201: Chapter 1074: Petty-Minded

"Mom, why don’t you take a break? It’s almost done here."

Could Huang Cuilan say that she hadn’t even approached the small study before her son chased her out? Sigh... once children grow up, mothers can’t control them. Could she really harm her own son?

It’s rare for the second brother to come over so early—there must be something important again.

What’s the matter this time?

"Mom, have a seat first."

Huang Cuilan glanced at her daughters-in-law, gathered her thoughts, and asked, "Did you add your second uncle’s portion?"

Gong Xiaoya was taken aback by the question and nodded repeatedly, "Added."

Wei Qiulian, eyes flickering, smiled and changed the topic, "Mom, have the kids been behaving?"

Speaking of the grandchildren, Huang Cuilan smiled, "Very well-behaved. They even know not to eat candy first thing in the morning. Make them some egg custard, add a couple more eggs."

Gong Xiaoya glanced at the pantry, shook her head, "Only five left, better save them for you and Dad. They’ve been eating well these days."

"Why so few?" Huang Cuilan regretted the words as soon as they left her mouth, "Use them for now. I’ll go back to the village in a couple of days and trade for more."

Upon hearing this, Wei Qiulian’s eyes flashed with mockery, and she quietly went back to tending the fire.

Fewer?

She didn’t believe her mother-in-law wasn’t aware of the count!

The monthly supply was just this much, especially in winter when hens stopped laying eggs. Originally, the family eggs were brought from the village just before winter by her father-in-law and husband to store for the kids’ nutrition.

But who would have thought the grandmother wouldn’t even care for the grandchildren? If not afraid of angering the father-in-law, she might have taken them all back to her family during New Year’s visits.

Yet as a daughter-in-law, she couldn’t mention this, not when her mother-in-law had claimed it was for the elderly’s frail health?

Okay! Everyone has parents. She understands filial piety, but can’t her mother-in-law not act as if she’s stealing food as a daughter-in-law to disgust her?

Gong Xiaoya was taken aback and immediately nodded. She glanced at her sister-in-law tending the fire and furtively at her mother-in-law. That’s it; the mother-in-law was in a daze again on the stool, saving her from finding something to say.

The thoughts of the three women in the kitchen were unknown to each other.

In the living room, Zhang Mingzuo, worried, lifted the curtain after a while and took a step out, glanced toward the kitchen, and retreated.

Remembering the disappointed look on his mother’s face when she left, he irritably scratched his head, drank a big mouthful of warm water, and worriedly looked toward the study room door.

Just now his mother had cleverly come in with such loud words asking, did your second uncle encounter trouble? Why so hurriedly close the door to talk with Dad?

Thinking about it gave him a headache.

A heart like Sima Zhao’s, known to all along the way. Still thinks no one can see through such clumsy little tricks? Could she not cause further trouble?

His second uncle probably heard it but ignored it, thinking that in the future he would not come to Dad with any issues...

"Bro, why don’t you go out for a walk with us this time?"

Zhang Guofu looked at his brother’s concerned eyes and shook his head with a bitter smile, "Don’t worry about me, she’s just like that."

Zhang the Second was really sick of Huang Cuilan.

If not for the nephew being outside, he would have opened the door to curse. What’s the meaning? Why can’t two brothers chat a bit?
