The evil sister is in charge, and the mother is getting married

Chapter 9: I want to come in with my two paws empty.

"Grandma, you are the great contributor to our family. You must eat this rabbit leg first!" Sheng Wanqiu picked up a rabbit leg with chopsticks and put it in Mrs. Sheng's bowl.

"Hmph!" Mrs. Sheng snorted coldly, but looking at her expression, there was a hint of happiness in her arrogance.

After taking a bite of the rabbit leg, Mrs. Sheng's eyes suddenly lit up. It was spicy and numbing with the aroma of sauce, and the rabbit meat was soft and chewy. Her granddaughter's cooking skills were quite good!

good to eat!

"Sister, it's so delicious. I didn't expect your cooking skills are so good!" Sheng Huaian said excitedly, smacking his lips.

"Sister, it smells so good!" Sheng Huaimu also raised his little face, his mouth stuffed with food, his eyes narrowed into slits with happiness.

"If you like it, eat more. If you two just follow me obediently from now on, I promise to let you eat meat every day until you get tired of it!"

After Sheng Wanqiu finished speaking, she picked up a few more pieces of rabbit meat and put them in the bowls of her two younger brothers. Of course, she did not forget about Mrs. Sheng.

Mrs. Sheng looked at her boastful granddaughter. She really dared to say that, "Are you tired of eating meat?"

He started talking in his sleep before it got dark.

The four of them ate till they all collapsed on the stools, unable to move. "Sister, this is the best meal I've ever had!" Sheng Huaimu whispered softly, leaning on Sheng Wanqiu's shoulder with a smile.

"Xiao Huaimu, remember, people live just to make a living. If someone can't even eat well, then he or she basically doesn't have much ability!"

Before Sheng Wanqiu could finish her words, she was hit on the head by Mrs. Sheng.

"Stop teaching the kids bad things. How can you make a living? I think you are just greedy! Stop leading your brothers astray!"

Sheng Wanqiu covered her head which was hurt by the blow and looked at Grandma Sheng with resentment. When would her grandma stop attacking her unexpectedly?
Sheng Huaian and Sheng Huaimu burst into laughter when they saw their sister's sad face. Grandma Sheng couldn't help laughing when she saw her granddaughter covering her forehead. For a moment, the small courtyard was very warm, as if the haze of her father's death and her mother's remarriage had been driven away.

Sheng Zhaodi was in a pitiful situation. She was driven out by Liu Juan, who told her that she could not enter the house unless she caught a wild rabbit.

This is all the fault of that little bitch Sheng Wanqiu. If she hadn't instigated her, her mother would definitely not have suspected her. As the sky gradually darkened, where could she catch the rabbit?

It was dinner time in the village, and the aroma of food wafted from every household. Sheng Zhaodi felt even hungrier, and her stomach began to rumble.

Bai Haoyu's family is eating bamboo shoots fried with bacon. The whole family is eating with their mouths full of oil. This free food is so delicious.

"Mom, your trick really works. When I said that, look, some people sent bacon, some sent bamboo shoots, and some sent eggs!"

Bai Xiaolian ate the bacon happily and praised her mother's method.

"Mom, what did you ask my little sister to do?" Bai Haoyu had no idea what his sister and mother had done. After he came back from being angered by Sheng Wanqiu, he went into the house to study and never came out.

"It's none of your business. Go study after dinner. You'll have an exam next year, and I'm counting on you to pass it and become a scholar!"

"Your sister and I will take care of all the household chores. You don't have to worry about them!" Bai Jiang glanced at Bai Haoyu and gave Bai Xiaolian a look.

"Yes! Big brother, your task now is to pass the exam to become a scholar as soon as possible, and then pass the exam to become a juren. My mother, my brother and I are counting on you to live a good life!" After Bai Xiaolian finished speaking, she picked up a piece of bacon with chopsticks for Bai Haoyu and looked at him with a smile.

"Okay, I will work hard and live up to the expectations of my mother and sister!" Bai Haoyu nodded vigorously and affirmatively.

In fact, Bai Jiang asked Bai Xiaolian to pretend to let out a secret among the girls she usually played with, saying that she was looking for a girl for Bai Haoyu, and her requirements were not high, as long as the girl was good to her family.

There were few scholars in the village to begin with, and Bai Haoyu was still a student and looked good, so there were many girls who had a crush on him. When they heard the news, they couldn't sit still and went home to see if there were any good things at home, and gave them to Bai Jiangshi. This would definitely be the right way to please their future mother-in-law.

In fact, little did they know that this was all a conspiracy by Bai Jiang and Bai Xiaolian, mother and daughter. It feels so good to get something for free, without having to pay anything, and they accept everyone who comes.

Anyway, she didn't really plan to let her eldest son find a wife in the village. When her son passed the imperial examination, he could marry any daughter of an official, not these village girls!

At this time, Sheng Zhaodi unknowingly walked to the door of Bai Haoyu's house. She was still hesitating whether to knock on the door. Her mother Liu Juan was Bai Haoyu's cousin, and the two families were relatives.

After hesitating for a moment, he still knocked on the door of the Bai family.

"Who is it? It's dark now, who would come?"

Bai Jiang went to open the door while muttering to herself, and then saw Sheng Zhaodi standing at the door hesitantly.

"It's Zhaodi, what brings you to my house at this time?"

Bai Jiangshi initially thought that Sheng Zhaodi was just like the other little girls in the village, coming to deliver something to her family.
Seeing that she had empty hands, a hint of displeasure flashed in Bai Jiang's eyes, but she didn't say anything. She just blocked the door and had no intention of letting her in.

"Aunt, can you let me go in first?" Sheng Zhaodi felt a little embarrassed. She was standing at the door, and villagers passed by from time to time. After all, this was Bai Haoyu's home, and she had to consider her reputation.

"Zhaodi! My Xiaolian is not at home. Only Haoyu and Haowu are at home. It's not convenient for you to come in. If you have anything to say, just tell me now!"

Bai Jiang was blocking the doorway, not noticing the awkwardness on Sheng Zhaodi's face at all.

He has the nerve to come to her house with empty hands, it's just a daydream. Don't think she doesn't know that this little girl has also fallen in love with her Haoyu, and she follows Xiaolian from time to time and shows her courtesy.

Bah! He wants to get his hands on her family's scholars, but he doesn't even take a piss to see if he is worthy enough!

"It's okay, auntie, I'd better leave first!" No matter how dumb Sheng Zhaodi was, she knew that Auntie Bai was not going to let her in, so she could only leave in disappointment.

Bai Jiang slammed the gate shut and returned to the house cursing.

Usually, she appears to be a gentle and polite person in the village, pretending to be very quiet and generous, but in fact, she is a snob and a mean person at heart.

"Mom, who is it?" Bai Xiaolian had already started cleaning up the dishes. When she saw Bai Jiang coming back, she asked.

In fact, she was mainly watching her mother coming back empty-handed. Wasn’t it the little girl from the village who brought the things?

"Sheng Zhaodi, you wanted to come in with nothing, but I found an excuse to drive you away!" Bai Jiang curled her lips in contempt.
