Chapter 228 Establishing Rules

Inside the main room, a group of people at a table waited and waited, their stomachs rumbling with hunger.

Half an incense stick had passed and no dishes had been brought in. Auntie vaguely realized something was wrong and got up and rushed to the kitchen.

Seeing the kitchen door tightly shut, she angrily raised her hand and pounded it:

"Open the door! What are you bastards doing in there?"

In the kitchen, Li Yurong and the An Cui and An Liu sisters looked at Jiang Moli with panic and unease.

Jiang Moli calmly held the spatula and stirred the pot, picking out the remaining pieces of chicken, and asked Li Yurong, her third aunt and sister-in-law.

Are you still going to eat?

The three of them shook their heads.

Grandma went crazy outside, and they were terrified. They had no appetite for meat.

"They're not eating anymore, you can have it all."

Looking at the chicken being shoveled into the bowl, Lu Tingting snorted, "You only give me what other people don't want? Am I that worthless?"

"What if you don't want it?"

Lu Tingting held out the bowl.

It's all meat, might as well eat it.

Outside the kitchen door, Zheng Hongyan, An Fu, An Hui, Lu Dezhao and others came running at the sound.

"What's going on here?"

My aunt was so angry that her nostrils were practically spitting fire. "Those bastards locked themselves in there, I don't know what they're up to!"

An Hui and Lu Dezhao exchanged a glance, tacitly understanding each other without saying a word.

Just then, the kitchen door creaked open from the inside.

Jiang Moli came out with a smile, "Have you all finished eating? We just finished too. The chicken was really good tonight."

Upon hearing this, her aunt's eyes widened in surprise.

He shoved her aside and rushed into the kitchen.

Immediately afterwards, a pig-like scream came from the kitchen: "Damn it, where's my chicken?!"

Jiang Moli picked at her ear and shouted to her aunt in the kitchen:

"Aunt, your chickens are in the chicken coop. Of course you can't find them if you go to the kitchen."

Lu Dezhao wanted to laugh but tried hard to hold it in; his face was almost contorted with rage.

An Hui glared at him, then turned to Jiang Moli and asked, "What were you two doing in the kitchen?"

Jiang Moli said, "According to my uncle's rules, we eat in the kitchen."

"You bunch of gluttons, you ate the whole pot of chicken! How come you didn't die of overeating!"

Hearing her aunt cursing at Li Yurong and her two sisters-in-law, Jiang Moli turned around and went back into the kitchen.

Seeing her aunt raise her hand to hit Li Yurong, Jiang Moli lazily said:

“As a daughter-in-law, you can’t spoil your husband’s family. If they dare to lay a finger on us, we’ll pack our things and go back to our parents’ home immediately.”

Her aunt stopped moving, turned her head and glared at her fiercely.

Jiang Moli smiled at Li Yurong and said, "Niece-in-law, you're so beautiful, quick and efficient, and a great cook. You won't have to worry about remarrying. You know my stepmother, a country woman with a child in tow, and she remarried my dad, a regular worker. She just does housework, cooking and laundry, and doesn't have to do anything else. My dad gives her half of his monthly salary."

"And then there's my aunt. She was also bullied by her in-laws and abused by her husband. She dumped the scoundrel, abandoned her child, and came to the city to help my parents with housework. She even earns some pocket money every month. Her life is so comfortable."

Li Yurong had prepared herself to be beaten and scolded.

But after hearing what Jiang Moli said, she suddenly felt that leaving her husband's family wasn't a dead end.

His hunched back straightened immediately.

The eldest aunt pointed at Jiang Moli, her fingers trembling with anger, "You, you, you call yourself an educated person? You'd rather tear down ten temples than break up one marriage! Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?!"

Jiang Moli smiled enigmatically, "I'm also wondering, why don't you cherish such a virtuous and hardworking granddaughter-in-law, instead of beating and scolding her? Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"What business is it of yours if I'm disciplining my granddaughter-in-law?"

"Then go ahead and hit him. Once you've chased him away, you can find your grandson a new wife tomorrow." "You!"

When it comes to eloquence, even ten of Jiang Moli's aunts combined wouldn't be a match for her.

"Alright, stop arguing! The younger generation may be ignorant, but aren't you ignorant too?"

The uncle was verbally abusing his aunt, but his words implied that he was accusing Jiang Moli of talking back to her elders.

Jiang Moli said in a humble tone, "Uncle is right. It's my fault for being greedy and eating the whole pot of chicken without leaving any for you. Well then, Tingting and I will make up for it by cooking you a new pot."

After saying that, he called to Lu Tingting, "Let's go catch chickens!"

"Oh!"

Lu Tingting put down her bowl and excitedly ran to the chicken coop with Jiang Moli.

Seeing Jiang Moli about to grab her chicken, Auntie was so anxious that bubbles were forming at the corners of her mouth. "What are you doing? Stop right there!"

"Auntie, Uncle, don't worry, I'll make sure you get to eat chicken tonight!"

"Who's trying to get chicken dinner? Stop it right now!"

Jiang Moli ignored him and chased the chickens around the coop with Lu Tingting, making the chicken feathers fly everywhere.

Catching chickens at night in the dark is quite difficult.

As a result, one of the chickens was so frightened that it flew straight into Jiang Moli's arms.

"Caught!"

Seeing the hen flapping in Jiang Moli's hand, her aunt angrily said, "You put it away..."

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Moli grabbed the chicken by the neck and twisted it hard.

The old hen cackled and died.

Lu Dezhao and An Hui were both stunned by her decisive and efficient technique.

Lu Tingting touched her neck and suddenly realized that Jiang Moli was actually quite gentle with her.

Jiang Moli lifted the chicken with its neck drooping and asked, "The chicken isn't very big, it doesn't seem like enough to eat. Do you want to catch another one?"

My aunt was so angry she almost jumped up and down. "Stay away from the chicken coop and don't touch my chickens again!"

Jiang Moli nodded, "Then one will do. Nephew's wife, boil water and kill the chicken."

Li Yurong was shocked one after another tonight, and her mind was still blank.

Jiang Moli asked her to boil water, and she actually went to boil water.

Not to mention that Auntie was so angry her heart, liver, spleen, and lungs were aching, Uncle, Zheng Hongyan, and Anfu were also furious.

The family finally managed to raise a few hens, hoping to earn money from their eggs.

Jiang Moli, that rotten jinx, is absolutely despicable!

"Disdain value +3, 30000 yuan credited."

The chicken was killed quickly.

Perhaps to prevent Jiang Moli from sneaking another bite, the eldest aunt personally took charge of cooking a pot of chicken and served it on the table.

They were all angry that Jiang Moli had slaughtered their chickens, but they ate them without hesitation, spitting bone fragments all over the ground.

Jiang Moli and Lu Tingting went to the old house next door with Li Yurong and the An sisters to make the beds.

Before his death, the old man gave the old house to his eldest uncle.

It's usually used to store grain and miscellaneous items. With a little tidying up, it's barely enough to sleep in for one night.

After Jiang Moli left, her aunt told Lu Dezhao and An Hui about Jiang Moli's faults.

"Your daughter-in-law here is so ill-mannered! Before you parents-in-law have even eaten, she's already eating with her mouth all greasy. What kind of daughter-in-law is she? You really need to set some rules!"

An Hui swallowed the chicken in her mouth and said calmly, "What rules and regulations? This isn't the old society anymore. As long as she and Xiao Cheng live happily together, that's all that matters."

Jiang Moli's aunt was extremely disappointed in her and was determined to teach her a lesson.

"If you keep spoiling her like this, she'll never stop rebelling! Alright, leave her alone. You'll see how I set some rules for her later."
