Chapter 242: Mismatched Couple
Mother Ji was so angry that her liver ached.
Qiqi couldn't understand what was said, but he understood that Ji Yunyun wanted to eat his chicken without paying for it, so he bluntly stated, “I won't let you eat my chicken!”
“Mother, listen, listen to how Su Danhong taught her son!” Ji Yunyun said immediately.
“Qiqi is still young, and what he said is right. You can't eat your third brother's chicken for free. If you want to eat it, buy it yourself. If you don't buy it, then don't eat it!” Mother Ji said.
She wanted to have a good visit with her daughter, but when she saw that her daughter was causing trouble, she said, “These peanuts and soybeans were bought by me from a neighbor. They are good. Go buy the bones and make soup with it yourself. There are a lot of things to do at home, so I will take Qiqi back first.”
“Mother, please bring two more chickens next time. I like eating chickens!” Ji Yunyun shouted.
She didn't even say something nice, and just focused on the food. Mother Ji was so angry that she couldn't speak. She said, “Let Li Zhi buy you whatever you want to eat!”
Then she took Qiqi downstairs.
“Grandma, don't be angry, I won't let her eat my chicken!” Qiqi took his grandma’s hand and said.
“Grandma is not angry, and Qiqi can’t be angry either. We are not the same as her. She still has a younger brother in her belly,” Mother Ji said with a smile.
“He's not from the same parents as me, he's not my brother!” Qiqi didn't know how to hide his thoughts, so he said this directly.
Even though he was young, he understood that he and his brother, Renren, had the same parents. Even with Yan’er, he knew they were not the same.
Mother Ji knew that her grandson was angry and said with a smile, “Okay, okay, he’s not your brother. I'll take you to buy delicious food. I haven't been to the county town in a few years. It is developing really fast. It's better than our small village.”
“I want a schoolbag!” Qiqi's attention was immediately diverted and his eyes were bright.
“Okay, I'll buy you the most beautiful one.” Mother Ji smiled.
“My brother and my sister want one too,” Qiqi said.
“Okay, I’ll buy them one too.” Mother Ji nodded.
Mother Ji took Qiqi shopping and bought three schoolbags. Qiqi was very happy. When he came back, he gave them to his brother and sister. “I asked grandma to buy these for you!”
Yan'er and Renren thanked him and nodded to show that they appreciated it.
“Did you have fun at your aunt's house?” Su Danhong asked when he returned home.
“I wasn't happy. Grandma and I left her house after a while. Grandma took me shopping to eat delicious food and bought a school bag before coming back,” Qiqi said.
He asked his grandma to buy a lot of things, which was what Su Danhong had expected to happen. She asked with a smile, “Then will you go next time?”
“I will! I won't let her bully my grandma!” Qiqi said immediately.
Su Danhong smiled, touched his little face, and said, “Why did she bully your grandma? Your grandma is her mother. She can't bully your grandma no matter what.”
Qiqi couldn't understand such a complicated relationship, so he said what he saw, “She wanted to eat the chicken on the mountain without paying for it, but my grandma didn't agree. Grandma told her to buy it herself if she wanted to eat it, so she said grandma was stingy. Grandma was so angry that her face was blue, so she left the things and took me away.”
Su Danhong asked, “Are you angry
“I'm not angry.” Qiqi said nonchalantly. “But I don't like her, and the person in her belly is not my brother.”
“Yeah.” Su Danhong nodded and praised how his schoolbag looked good.
“Of course, this is what I chose!” Qiqi said proudly.
Seeing that he really didn't take today's matter to heart, Su Danhong changed subjects. She made peanut cake today and asked him if he would eat it.
Qiqi put down the schoolbag and said immediately, “Yes, give me a few more pieces, so I can share it.”
“Okay.” Su Danhong gave him three pieces. As for how he was going to share it with his friends, that was up to him.
Qiqi ran out.
Su Danhong picked up the embroidery frame and started embroidering.
She was satisfied with her mother-in-law's attitude, and she had a bottom line. Of course, if her mother-in-law didn’t have a bottom line, then her relationship with her mother-in-law would be just average, and not as good as it is now.
As for Ji Yunyun, Su Danhong didn’t want to do anything with her. Even if the relationship might get better in the future, Su Danhong did not intend to have a close relationship with her, and would just treat her as a distant relative.
In the county town.
When Li Zhi came back, he saw that there were so many things at home. Ji Yunyun didn't pack them away. It was all piled at the entrance, waiting for Li Zhi to come back and clean it up.
“Third brother was here?” Li Zhi asked.
Apart from Ji Jianyun, he couldn't think of anyone else.
“It wasn’t my third brother. It was my mother who came to see me and brought all this here.” Ji Yunyun said while eating strawberries.
She didn’t do anything else besides washing the strawberries and eating them. These strawberries were really good. It was sweet and delicious, and also very big.
“Why didn't mother stay for dinner before going back?” Li Zhi said after hearing this.
His mother-in-law brought a lot of things. The basket of eggs weighed three jins. From the looks of it, there were probably multiple yolks. Then there was the chicken.
Soybeans and peanuts were also very nutritious.
“She said she was busy with a lot of things at home, so she didn't stay,” Ji Yunyun said indifferently.
Li Zhi knew that his wife must have offended his mother-in-law. If his mother-in-law had taken the time to come to the county town, then why would there still be a lot of things to do at home?
“I'll stew this chicken for you tonight. I'll buy a big bone every day and stew it with soybeans for you.” However, Li Zhi didn't say anything more and packed things up.
“I'm tired of eating big bones stewed with soybeans. Please give me something different,” Ji Yunyun said.
“What about pig trotters stewed with peanuts?” Li Zhi asked.
“I won't eat it,” Ji Yunyun said with disgust.
Li Zhi said, “Then I’ll go buy some fish stewed with tofu soup.”
“Okay.” Ji Yunyun reluctantly accepted. Then she asked Li Zhi, “Do you want to eat these strawberries?”
“You can eat it.” Li Zhi shook his head.
Ji Yunyun didn’t press him. Li Zhi glanced at her. He sighed softly in his heart but said nothing more. He started boiling water and cleaning the chicken.
The chicken stew in the evening was very fragrant. Ji Yunyun finished the chicken and drank a lot of the soup. She only left a bowl of chicken soup for him. Li Zhi saw that she couldn't drink the rest, so he asked, “Do you want to save it for tomorrow?”
“I won't eat anything left overnight, you can drink it.” Ji Yunyun waved her hand.
Li Zhi drank it.
The chicken from his third brother's place was really delicious. Recently, he had bought chicken from other stores and stewed it, but it couldn’t compare with the chicken from his third brother.
Li Zhi traveled between home and school. Early the next morning, he went to buy fresh fish and tofu and came back. After stewing them, he changed his clothes and went out for a run at the playground.
When he came back, Ji Yunyun hadn't woken up yet. The fish soup was almost ready. He didn't wake up Ji Yunyun, so he just drank a bowl of fish soup with a steamed bun and went to class first.
Ji Yunyun didn't get up until after eight o'clock.
