After Becoming the Villain Mother-in-Law, I Launch My Redemption Arc Chapter 98: How Can You Be So Oblivious?
Wen Nuan politely refused, "Thank you for your kind offer, sir, but my master has already had breakfast."
Wen Nuan’s mory was excellent; yesterday, when she sought help, this Chen Gongzi gloated and told the people around him that if soone spent a night freezing outside, there would be one less competitor.
Clearly, this person’s character was very poor.
This ti he’s pretending to be a good person, who knows what he’s plotting.
Chen He frowned, "Why is this little attendant student so ungrateful? I know Wen bro’s family situation. You must have spent quite a bit of silver staying at the inn, so regarding als, he will surely economize. He’s injured; not eating well is not good."
The tone was thick with condescension.
"Chen Gongzi, I and my master appreciate your goodwill, but we don’t need it. You should give these stead buns to soone who needs them more. Though our master’s family is poor, he at least has a place to shelter from the wind and rain and food to fill his stomach," Wen Nuan said with dignity.
Chen He flung his sleeve and snorted, "Then don’t co begging to when the ti cos."
He looked arrogant, as if he expected Wen Shu would surely co to him for help.
"Rest assured, Chen Gongzi, that will definitely not happen. Because our master’s als are much better than yours!" Wen Nuan raised her hand holding the at dishes, "See? This is what my master eats."
Chen He glanced, his face darkened. Fish and at indeed looked much better than what he ate.
With a sullen face, Chen He returned to his room with the stead buns.
Wen Nuan followed ng Yao upstairs and apologized as soon as she entered the room.
"Madam, I didn’t an to show off the things you bought, it’s just that Chen He is too..." Wen Nuan cautiously explained, "If he were sincere, I would be grateful. But he said yesterday that he hoped my brother wouldn’t make it to the city and would spend a night freezing outside, so there’d be one less competitor."
"Although yesterday he didn’t know the injured one was my brother, to harbor such malicious intent without knowing the person, it’s clear his character isn’t good."
"Even if we have to eat coarse grain al, we wouldn’t accept his charity."
"Occasionally taking advantage of the situation is nothing," ng Yao replied.
Wen Nuan could see that Chen He didn’t genuinely want to help Wen Shu, let alone ng Yao?
He was rely trying to gain fa in front of others.
And, by the way, flaunt his superiority in front of Wen Shu, to later hold his good deeds over them.
"Madam, thank you. I will certainly strive to repay your kindness in the future," Wen Nuan expressed gratitude.
"I said, I will handle your three als a day. Do you eat with us or take it back to your room?" ng Yao asked again.
Wen Nuan paused, then was pleasantly surprised, "Thank you, Madam, I’ll take it back to my room. Madam, rest assured, I won’t delay any tasks. I’ll serve Madam and the young masters first, and then go back to eat."
This was giving her the opportunity to bring the food to her brother.
"Then co with to the kitchen to cook," ng Yao said.
Taking the ingredients for today’s breakfast, ng Yao led Wen Nuan to the kitchen in the backyard.
Boiling porridge, baking pancakes, boiling eggs, and stir-frying cabbage.
Although porridge and cold salad were more appetizing, to avoid the slight chance of an upset stomach from raw vegetables, ng Yao decided to eat cooked ones, be it cabbage or radish.
Wen Nuan worked swiftly, at least quicker than Li Chang’an.
With her helping, ng Yao’s efficiency improved greatly.
Thick and fragrant rice porridge, radish shreds mixed into radish cakes.
Wen Nuan felt she was about to drool.
"Do you have bowls and chopsticks for eating?" ng Yao asked.
Wen Nuan nodded, "Yes, we do."
"Then go and get them. Our bowls and chopsticks are a fixed number," ng Yao said.
Wen Nuan responded and ran off, coming back with two slightly chipped bowls in her arms.
It looks like the family was really poor.
ng Yao served a bowl of porridge and a bowl of stir-fried cabbage without a change in expression, topped the stir-fried cabbage with two pieces of radish cake, and stuffed an egg into Wen Nuan’s embrace, "This is your breakfast. It can’t be left here in the kitchen, so hurry back, don’t dawdle; you still need to help bring these back to the room later."
Wen Nuan almost couldn’t hold back tears.
These things might only be eaten in her family during the Chinese New Year.
"Madam, thank you," Wen Nuan solemnly thanked ng Yao.
"It’s just this much, there’s no more, I won’t care if you don’t eat enough." ng Yao intentionally used a fierce tone.
"Mm." Wen Nuan carefully carried the food ng Yao gave her back to her room.
Seeing her bring back so much food, Wen Shu couldn’t help but beco anxious, "A Nuan, Mada has offered us help which is a great kindness. How can you..."
... bring back so much food.
Wen Nuan forced a smile, "Brother, can’t you see? Mada is helping us in a way that doesn’t hurt your dignity. This kindness, I will rember it in my heart, and my brother mustn’t forget either. Once you’re successful in the future, you must repay. Even if you’re not successful, we must repay to the best of our abilities."
"Of course," Wen Shu said solemnly.
"I still hope, my brother, to repay her once you’re successful in the future. This way, it can be a better repaynt. So brother, just calmly accept Mada’s goodwill, heal well, and enter the exam in your best state. Only this way will you have the chance to give Mada a better repaynt," Wen Nuan said, "Brother, you eat first, I still need to go help Mada bring breakfast back to the room."
Saying that, Wen Nuan jogged away.
Wen Shu looked at the food, his expression gradually becoming determined. Instead of eating imdiately, he took out a book from the bookcase and began earnestly reading.
While Zhao Dahe and others were eating, Wen Nuan stood to the side, helping serve porridge and vegetables.
It made Zhao Dahe very uncomfortable.
Mainly, the little girl was so attentive, attentive to the point it seed she wanted to feed them.
"Mother, we’ll still take a while to finish eating, how about you let her go eat?" Zhao Dahe suggested.
ng Yao refused, "I hired her with dicine oil and three als a day, so of course, everything must be used to its fullest."
Wen Nuan’s eyes curved into smiles, "Sir, I’m not hungry yet. After you finish eating, I’ll clean up the bowls and chopsticks, and then go eat."
Li Chang’an said nothing, knowing his aunt deliberately said that to lessen the psychological pressure on the young girl.
Zhao Dahe began quickly shoveling food into his mouth, but ng Yao tapped him with her chopsticks, "What? You can’t even eat away from ho? How many tis have I told you, chew carefully, chew carefully. You’re gobbling it up, afraid soone will steal your food?"
Zhao Dahe was so aggrieved; he just wanted to let the young girl quickly finish her chores and go eat.
In the freezing weather, once they finish eating, wouldn’t her food be cold?
Cold als, eating them would surely cause stomach pain, right?
Facing Wen Nuan, Zhao Dahe couldn’t ask ng Yao on purpose why she was treating the young girl this way, so he could only begrudgingly chew every mouthful fifteen tis.
During this ti, he glared angrily at Li Chang’an and Qin Zheng several tis. Why were these two so oblivious?
