Chapter 1117: Chapter 1119: Didn’t Even Bring a Meeting Gift_1
Listening to these words, Madam Zhou couldn’t help but recall the incident last year when Cao Lingling openly confronted Ye Zi’an in the street, accusing him of not recognizing his relatives and driving the two siblings away.
Now that she thought about it, that was indeed the case. If they really were relatives, how could she have driven them away first? It seemed they truly were not related.
"Hehe... Madam Ye is right," Madam Zhou said, feeling somewhat embarrassed. However, inside she didn’t have much regret, because her intention in saying those things was just to vex Yang Chuxia, not genuinely to stand up for Cao Lingling.
"That’s more like it." Seeing her insincere words, Yang Chuxia continued, "I would also trouble Madam Zhou and those gossips to keep this in mind, don’t chew on my family’s tongue when there’s nothing else to do. I’m not known for a good temper, and if I happen to overhear on an unlucky day, someone’s bound to have a few tongues cut short."
"Yes, yes, yes," Madam Zhou replied repeatedly, feeling startled by Yang Chuxia’s bold words, which also infuriated her. Wasn’t this a veiled way of saying she was wagging her tongue?
Forget it, better to drop the subject. What bad luck, and she couldn’t sit still any longer, so she stood up to take her leave from Yang Chuxia.
"I won’t keep you then, Madam Zhou. It just so happens I have matters to attend to later as well. Another day when I’m free, I’ll invite you over to visit. Ming Liu, see Madam Zhou out."
"As you command, madam!"
After Madam Zhou left, Yang Chuxia looked at Luo Linyu, who was happily playing with two steamed buns, and said, "Why were you so unaccommodating to her today?"
"Cousin-in-law, I was told by Ming Liu on my way here that she wanted to see Cao Lingling. Besides, I happened to overhear her words, which were quite annoying. She really thinks she’s a big shot." Continuing, Luo Linyu also complained, "And she’s really rude. To think she didn’t bring any gifts for Lele and Yangyang upon meeting them for the first time, such a stingy miser."
Chuckle, "stingy" and "miser" are more or less the same thing, right?
"How do you know she didn’t bring anything for Lele and Yangyang?"
"Lele told me,"
"What?" Yang Chuxia was speechless, how could this little brat know so much, "How did he tell you?" Could her son really say and express that much?
"Lele pointed at that lady and said she brought nothing. That’s how I understood it."
After Madam Zhou left, Yang Xiayun also came in and, having heard the conversation, said, "Sister, why haven’t you dealt with Cao Lingling yet? It’s irritating to have her around."
"No hurry, I will talk to her tomorrow. Let’s think about what we want for lunch first."
"Let’s have cold mixed rice noodles." No sooner had she finished speaking than Yang Xiayun was the first to raise her hand.
Rice noodles are a specialty of Mianyang, and with the unique local sauce, they taste quite good. The Yang sisters are all fond of it.
"We can’t just eat rice noodles. Let’s also have cucumber pancake—it’s perfect for hot weather. And add some three delicacies spare ribs, braised chicken wings, stir-fried green bean shreds, ground meat steamed with winter melon, and let’s make an egg custard soup for Lele and Yangyang, and green vegetable egg soup. Anything else you want?"
"I want steamed pork with rice flour." Before Luo Linyu could speak, Lele raised his little hand and shouted.
Yang Chuxia laughed. The little guy seemed to have a particular fondness for this dish. Every time it was made at home, he wanted some, and after being told about it once, he remembered it.
Luckily, his teeth were now good enough to eat it.
"Meat, meat." As for Yangyang, he was just following the lead.
"Alright, I’ll have the kitchen make steamed pork with rice flour for you. What about you, Linyu?"
Luo Linyu then said, "I’m with my little cousin, I’ll also have steamed pork with rice flour."
