Chapter 70: The Chicken Leg Belongs to Lin Xiangyi

When Lin Xiangyi woke up, she noticed that Sun Lanjun was looking at her strangely.

Lin Xiangyi: “…” Is she having another nervous breakdown?

Previously, Sun Lanjun was annoyed by Xie Qingxiao’s lack of ambition, worried that he would come to their house to mooch off them. She was overjoyed when she learned that Xie Qingxiao was going into business.

But now, knowing that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi were making more money than her and Xie Dage, her mood was complex.

She repeatedly questioned why they could earn so much money when they were not as good as her and Xie Dage.

However, her mood quickly settled down because Xie Qingxiao and Zhang Pengfei had returned with their goods!

Seeing them cleaning the innards in the courtyard, which she found almost nauseating, Sun Lanjun’s sense of imbalance disappeared instantly.

She wouldn’t touch such dirty things even if they paid her a lot of money!

Sun Lanjun looked at Lin Xiangyi, who was cleaning the offal without changing her expression, and let out a cold laugh.

Lin Xiangyi acted so proud in front of her, she thought she was so great, but she was just squatting there cleaning those disgusting things?

Ugh!

Indeed, money wasn’t easy to make.

Her job was still better, even though she didn’t earn as much as Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi, it was still above the average wage.

More importantly, teachers had high social status, it was something to be proud of.

Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi simply couldn’t find good jobs like hers, otherwise, why would they go into business, which was dirty, tiring, and disrespectful?

Sun Lanjun completed her self-persuasion and pulled Xiao Ni’s hand, saying leisurely, “It’s too smelly here, I can’t stand it, let’s go out and play with Xiao Ni.”

Then she left.

“…” Xie’s mother frowned, it was indeed smelly, but she could just quietly walk away, why did she have to say it out loud? What would they think, those who were still cleaning? Was she superior to them?

Aunt Xie wanted to say something, but after thinking for a moment, she didn’t say anything.

Neither did anyone else.

Sun Lanjun went out at nine o’clock and didn’t come back until twelve o’clock.

Aunt Xie couldn’t help but wonder, “A-Rong’s wife has been out for so long? Does she know anyone in the village?”

“She lives in the county, most of the time when she comes back to the village she stays in the room, how could she know anyone in the village? She doesn’t even know the village map. Could something have happened?” Xie’s mother quickly stood up and said, “I’ll go and see.”

As Xie’s mother reached the door, she saw Sun Lanjun pulling Xiao Ni back leisurely, and when she saw her, Sun Lanjun asked, “Mom, where are you going? Is lunch ready? Xiao Ni and I are hungry.”

Xie’s mother stared at Sun Lanjun’s smiling face: “…” So you had a great time playing outside and came back to find food when it was time for lunch?

She held back and swallowed the words “not yet” , saying, “Xiangyi and Ah Xiao are making lunch, it should be ready.”

“Really? What dishes did you make?” Sun Lanjun’s smile widened.

“Go in and see for yourself!” Xie’s mother said impatiently, turning back to continue working.

Sun Lanjun didn’t know what she had been playing outside, but she was in an unusually good mood, and didn’t mind Xie’s mother’s attitude, saying curiously, “Mother, weren’t you going out? Why did you come back?”

Xie’s mother: “I went out to look for you!” You’re already back, why would I need to go out?

“You went out to call us back for lunch, right?” Sun Lanjun said again, “Oh, we would have come back if we were hungry.”

Xie’s mother: “…” I see.

In the kitchen, Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi had already made lunch.

Today, they were stewing chicken soup. Xie Qingxiao had bought a black chicken this morning, and black chicken soup was the most nutritious.

The others were finishing their work and getting ready to eat.

Sun Lanjun, who hadn’t done any work, had already brought her bowl to the table. Seeing that there was a whole chicken leg in the pot that hadn’t been chopped, she was a little surprised and smiled happily, saying to Xiao Ni, “Xiao Ni, you are lucky today, Grandpa and Grandma left you a chicken leg, are you happy?”

“Happy!” Xiao Ni was very excited and immediately raised her bowl, meaning that her mother should quickly clip it for her.

Aunt Xie had just washed her hands and came in. Seeing this scene, her eyebrows jumped, and she quickly said, “A-Rong’s wife, this chicken leg is Xiangyi’s.”

The chicken had been killed and brought back, and Xie Qingxiao had chopped it after returning, leaving only one chicken leg. When Lin Xiangyi was making the soup, she asked him why he left the chicken leg, and Xie Qingxiao said he left it for her to eat.

At that time, everyone heard it, and they all laughed knowingly and ambiguously, making Lin Xiangyi blush.

But no one objected, after all, the chicken was bought by Xie Qingxiao, and it was fine for him to leave a chicken leg for his wife to eat, since he loved her.

It would have been fine if he had left two, they were already taking advantage of him, it was good enough to be able to eat meat, they didn’t even have soup at home.

How could Sun Lanjun be so shameless? She went out to play until they finished cooking and then came back, and when she saw something delicious, she thought it was for her child?

How could she be so shameless?

Aunt Xie was amazed by Sun Lanjun’s cheek.

Being told this by Aunt Xie, Sun Lanjun was also a little embarrassed.

She really didn’t expect that the chicken leg was for Lin Xiangyi, because before, whenever they killed a chicken at home, Xie’s mother would always leave a chicken leg for Xiao Ni, so when she saw the chicken leg, she subconsciously thought it was Xie’s mother who had specially left it for Xiao Ni.

No matter how clueless Sun Lanjun was, she knew that the meat was bought by Xie Qingxiao, and it was only natural for him to leave a chicken leg for his wife if he loved her.

She quickly put it back.

But Xiao Ni, who wasn’t even four years old, didn’t understand all this.

She only knew that her mother had just said that the chicken leg was hers, and now it was being taken away, and she was unhappy, so she started to cry loudly.

She attracted everyone’s attention, and after learning the cause and effect, everyone was speechless.

Sun Lanjun tried to coax Xiao Ni, but she couldn’t, so she awkwardly looked at Lin Xiangyi and said, “Sister-in-law, why don’t you give Xiao Ni this chicken leg today? I’ll buy… cough!”

Sun Lanjun couldn’t finish her sentence because Xie Qingxiao heard the first half and gave her a sarcastic look, directly clipping the chicken leg from the pot into Lin Xiangyi’s bowl, saying concisely and without any room for argument, “Eat!”

And Lin Xiangyi took a bite without hesitation.

Sun Lanjun quickly swallowed her words, because she was too anxious and unbelievable, she almost choked on herself.

She knew that Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi had a grudge against her, but it wasn’t her who wanted to eat it, it was Xiao Ni!

Xiao Ni was still a child, and they were actually fighting with a child over food! How could they be so shameless?

If it were her, she would have been ashamed to death.

If it were another child, Lin Xiangyi wouldn’t have eaten it, it was just a chicken leg, it wasn’t something precious, there was no need to fight over it.

But the object was Xiao Ni… then forget it.
