There was also the big spider under the magnolia tree. The gardener thought it was an eyesore and wanted to clear it away, but Suzanne stopped him with a worried look: “Spiders are beneficial insects, and in ancient tis, they were considered auspicious. If you see a spider sliding down a silk thread, it ans that good luck is coming from heaven!”
Later, he heard Suzanne talking with Nathaniel about this. She said, “I just think, it works so hard to build its web, and then soone pokes it with a broom and it’s all gone. It’s just too pitiful!”
Her kindness always seed a bit peculiar.
She didn’t pay much attention to the stray cats and dogs on the street but took pity on things like spider webs or nests made by swallows, or the food carried by ants with great effort.
Instead of saying she has a loving heart, it’s more accurate to say that she cherishes every hard-earned achievent, which is related to her upbringing.
Because of Suzanne’s protection, the spider thrived in the Sumrs family’s backyard, weaving bigger and bigger webs.
When May Francis saw it, she scread in terror.
At that mont, he felt terrible.
He was too lazy to even say so comforting words and directly called the family driver to take May Francis back ho.
Alexander Sumrs turned off the faucet, feeling less angry but still annoyed.
He hated this feeling of losing control.
When leaving, Alexander heard Atra Blanc sigh regretfully, “He’s already 24 years old and hasn’t had a proper job all these years. He’s idle every day, and I’m worried…I’ve been hoping that if he settles down and understands responsibility, maybe he’ll get better…”
Purple Sumrs said beside: “Mom, don’t be disappointed. With my brother’s efficiency, maybe he’ll bring you a new daughter-in-law next week, even a whole string of them! You can pick whichever you like!”
Alexander could only hear taunts and mockery from those comforting words.
A string?
Do you think a daughter-in-law is candied hawthorn?
This girl has beco more and more arrogant since she was discharged from the hospital. She’s really going to rebel!
Alexander ca back to the dining room with a gloomy face.
However, Purple Sumrs didn’t care about his expression at all. She picked up her chopsticks and excitedly said to Atra Blanc: “Everyone’s here! Now we can start eating!”
Then, without waiting, she picked up a piece of braised pig trotters with soybeans!
— The tender and lting pig’s trotter, her favorite!
Purple Sumrs ate it with careful skill, first sucking the savory gravy clean from the collagen, then cracking open the bone to eat the tendons and at inside.
Her eating wasn’t the most elegant, but it wasn’t rude either, and she looked pretty cute with her natural charm and playfulness.
Alexander wasn’t very hungry, but seeing her enjoy her al, he felt a bit hungry too.
He picked up a piece of pig’s trotter, tried a bite, and found it sticky and cloying, so he put down his chopsticks and reached for a napkin.
“Is it not to your taste?” Atra Blanc looked at Alexander’s bowl of pig’s trotters and said, “There doesn’t seem to be much at on that piece.”
Then she picked up a thicker piece of pig trotter and put it in Alexander’s bowl.
Purple Sumrs felt heartbroken.
Looking at Alexander, he didn’t seem to know how to eat pig’s trotters. Putting such a delicacy into his bowl was simply a waste.
Purple Sumrs felt sorry for the pig’s trotter.
After going through the careful cooking process, only to be bitten casually a few tis and then abandoned on the dining table, what a pity…
Where is the dignity of food?
She used her chopsticks to dig through the soybeans and quietly put the last piece of pig’s trotter in her own bowl.
