Everyone sat in front of the table, waiting for Chen Nianran to serve the fresh loach.
Little Sister looked at the table full of fresh rivers and big red crabs. They were big and fat, but she didn't know where to start.
Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, she decided to start with the loach.
The oil was still sizzling on top of the loach, but the little guy had only taken a whoop before he popped the loach into his mouth.
"Delicious, fragrant …"
When everyone saw that she had only said those two words, they all busily struggled with the Loach in their mouths. No one wanted to verify it anymore. Instead, he used action to test the dish cooked by his boss.
"Ugh …" Beautiful... "Fresh …" Huang Dean, who was the most worried, had only had this evaluation when he had his first bite.
Chen Nianran was very satisfied with this dish. No matter what, she had cooked quite well.
"Crabs are great stuff. Come on, let's go." Seeing that no one touched the crab, Chen Nianran had no choice but to become a glutton's master.
Unfortunately, Huang Dean and Niu Niu actually thought that the meat was too little and didn't like eating crabs. On the other hand, Lil 'Six and the others ate the food with relish.
These few brats had shared all that had happened between Niu Wenshu and his wife.
A giant crab, mud loach, and xantho-.
After dinner, the group once again began to clean up the remaining dry snails.
In this busy spring season, after Chen Nianran planted the crops, the half of the wall in the barren mountain was finally built.
That day, she packed up and brought the little Fifth Sister with her to the city. After buying the chickens, she wanted to bring Juan Juan back to the village. When the time came, the family of three would never part.
What she didn't know was that in the Chen Residence, the madame was currently in an unquenchable rage.
Good, good, my good grandson, as expected of my good grandson. You actually thought of this trick to deceive me.
Hong'er, who was at the side, was so frightened that she didn't dare to breathe. Ever since the third house found the fake Yi Zi Tang, the old lady accidentally found an old servant.
Originally, it should have been a joyous occasion for an old servant to meet the old ancestor. Then, this happened because of this old servant. He had actually served the Fifth Young Master before.
However, the old servant knew very well that Fifth Young Master's body was injured.
"What? Can't give birth? How was this possible? Back then, this old servant was someone who personally attended to Fifth Young Master, and the doctor at that time had repeatedly guaranteed that Fifth Young Master's body would be well taken care of. More importantly, Fifth Young Master had learnt a body tempering art. According to the doctors, Fifth Young Master's stamina was extremely good. "In the future, there will be no problem at all if you want to have descendants."
The old servant's solemn words made the Old Ancestor's face change on the spot.
How could she, an experienced person, not understand that she had been fooled? She had been betrayed by her own biological grandson.
"Good, good, my dear grandson, if you want to stop me from bringing the child and the woman back, I will bring them back. My Zhou family's flesh and blood cannot be left outside. A Fu, bring someone over to take him away. "
"That bitch!" The Old Ancestor suddenly opened his eyes, and the disgust within was not concealed at all, "My Zhou family's flesh and blood, would not call a lowly woman mother. This child can only be a child of the Fifth Young Madam. "
Not long after Fifth Young Madam passed away, a child of the Fifth Young Madam appeared. A Fu cried. However, he didn't dare to fight the Old Ancestor at this moment.
All he could do was to carry back the Zhou family's flesh and blood. As for Chen Nianran, whether she lived or died, the Old Ancestor does not need to worry at all.
"Call the yamen runners along before you go. That woman, if she dares to lie to me and instigate the relationship between my fifth ancestor and myself, I will send her to prison!"
This oath caused Hong'er to shudder in fright. This time, the old ancestor's anger came at him with great ferocity. However, this also meant that the anger of the old ancestor was not something that an ordinary person could endure.
After A Fu left, the people of the main house stuck their heads out and looked around.
Eldest Young Lady was at a loss for a long time. Finally, she carried the three-year-old girl and walked towards the Old Ancestor's house.
"Old Ancestor … Hong'er has come to kowtow and pay her respects to you. "
This was because there was no Tian Sun in the mansion, so these few young granddaughters of his were also a rarity to the Old Ancestor. Just like now, when Hong'er hugged him, the old ancestor's original anger was slightly restrained.
"Hong'er is truly obedient. Come, come to where the old ancestor is."
Hong'er's small foot tilted, and she moved in front of the Old Ancestor. After the two of them chatted for a while, the Eldest Young Lady became a topic of discussion, "Sigh, after Fifth Brother left, Fifth Sister-in-Law has also disappeared.
The Old Ancestor cast a sidelong glance at her and did not answer. Eldest Young Lady felt her heart tighten inexplicably when she looked at him like that. Could it be that even the Old Ancestor knew about the spies he placed in this room?
With regards to this matter, the Eldest Young Lady was also a little uncertain. However, she still wasn't willing to give up until she found out what had happened to Zhou Aoxuan. It had to be known that the matter of whether or not Zhou Aoxuan had a child was related to their earnings in the mansion. If Zhou Aoxuan really did have a child, then they would be able to obtain some of the fortune!
Thinking about all these, Eldest Young Lady had no choice but to panic.
"When we came over, I heard that the Old Ancestor was angry. I wonder which blind person dared to anger you? Haha …" Eldest Young Lady braced herself and used a relaxed and casual tone to probe further.
However, the old lady placed the teacup heavily on the table, "Hong'er, I'm sleepy."
This kind of face-flinging had never happened before in front of Eldest Young Lady. At that moment, Eldest Young Lady was so scared that her face turned pale.
Before she left, the old lady's cold gaze caused her heart to sink to the bottom.
"Mother …" The little girl, Xi Lin, was so frightened that she pulled her back. At such a young age, she had already learned how to read words.
How could she not know that the Old Ancestor was so anxious?
When Eldest Young Lady saw this innocent child, a look of disgust flashed past his eyes. If it wasn't for the fact that she had a bad stomach and that she gave birth to such a daughter as her first child, how could she possibly be angered by the people in the manor?
He grabbed Hong'er and said, "Let's go back."
Hong'er was so frightened that she waved her hand, "Mother …" She looked at the other maidservants in the room for help. Because she knew that as long as she allowed her mother to be together with her, her mother would use some unknown method to prick her. It would cause her pain, make her feel uncomfortable …
However, no one saw her pleading eyes. Everyone was looking at the ground with their heads lowered …
She was clearly scared to the point of choking, but she was still calling out to him, "Mother …" Mother … Hong'er will be obedient, she will be obedient. "
Eldest Young Lady was sinister for a good while, then she suddenly waved her hand, "Be good, Hong'er be good, come to my side."
Hong'er carefully looked at her. After confirming that her mother wouldn't harm her at this moment, she slowly approached her. She revealed a fawning smile, "Mother!"
Eldest Young Lady squatted down and held Hong'er's hand. She gently caressed Hong'er's hand with her fingers, "Good boy, you should know that Mother loves you, and because Mother loves you, Mother wishes for you to be able to please everyone. Your father and the Old Ancestor. Mother did it for your own good. If it wasn't for this, how would you have been able to survive in such a mansion? Hong'er, you should be able to tell that as long as you get the old lady's love and your father's love, your position will be different. "
Hong'er obediently nodded with tears in her eyes, "Mn, Mother, Hong'er has always been following mother's teachings to please every single one of them. Hong'er has done very well. I will make them all like me, and I will make them recognize me as the young miss of Zhou Mansion the most. " This was something her mother had always taught her, and she had always been making requests of herself, as if she were the heir to Zhou Mansion.
"Mm, my Hong'er is very obedient. Being so good makes your mother's heart ache. " Eldest Young Lady rubbed Hong'er's delicate fingertips, and suddenly pinched them tightly. Hong'er was so frightened that she opened her mouth, and a suffocating pain came from her fingertips.
Eldest Young Lady withdrew her hand. Blood dripped from Hong'er's fingertip onto an embroidery needle. As for Hong'er, her body was twitching in pain, and her tears fell down in large droplets. She feebly opened her mouth and weakly called out, "Mother …" "Mother …"
"Foolish child, mother did this for your own good, haha …"
Eldest Young Lady admired the begging in her child's eyes. Seeing that she was about to faint from the pain, she laughed even more happily. Until the child fainted due to the pain, Eldest Young Lady finally stopped her abuse of the child.
When Hong'er came back to her senses, she gently embraced her and softly sang a beautiful song.
"Hong'er, mother loves you. You must remember, I love you as much as I wish for you to grow up. Not too long from now, perhaps someone will try to steal your current love. Hong'er, you must remember, you must defeat those people and not let them succeed, understand? "
Hong'er's body trembled, and tears flowed from her eyes. Her hands and feet ached so much. These were all masterpieces created by her mother every time she 'loved' her. Is it that all mothers of the world love their children like this? Is it that all mothers look forward to their children like this? Hong'er doesn't know, she only knows that once her mother loves her, she becomes very scared and helpless …
