Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Flatten Him

Madam Xie, despite her heartache over money, couldn’t argue with Xuexue’s logic. They had to use oil for cooking, no matter how frugal they were, so she said no more.

“That’s great! That’s great! We have at to eat, mother, I want to eat braised pork.”

Chuner clapped her hands in excitent, her joy reminiscent of the Lunar New Year celebrations.

In the past, at the Mo family’s house, only during festivals and celebrations were the won allowed a few slices of at, of course, except for Old Lady Mo who had at at every al; the rest of the females led a tough life.

Even Madam Ruan, who had a son by her side, was no exception. If not, she wouldn’t have had to wrack her brains to steal Old Lady Mo’s at. All the miseries were caused by Old Lady Mo, that stingy old miser.

Seeing her younger daughter’s longing for at, Madam Xie also beca happy and couldn’t help but smile broadly as she said, “Good, tonight we’ll have braised pork.”

“Mm! Mother, I’ll make the fire.”

Chuner sat excitedly in front of the stove, ready to help make the fire and cook.

“Chuner, I’ll help you.” The fool ca over and sat beside her.

Actually, he wanted to help Xuexue cut the at, but the mont Xuexue gave him a stern look, he backed off.

Xuexue divided the at in half, cooking the lean half for Madam Xie and slicing the fatty half to render oil after dinner. The rendered oil would be stored in jars enough for the entire month.

Madam Xie put the spices in the pot to sizzle, then added the pork and stir-fried it briefly. Instantly, the kitchen filled with a tantalizing aroma, causing Chuner, who was helping with the fire, to swallow hard and peer intently into the pot with eager eyes.

“Stop looking; it’s not cooked yet. You’ve never been this hungry before.”

Madam Xie laughed when she saw her daughter’s greedy manner. In the past, at the Mo family’s place, she’d never seen her this voracious and eager when frying at.

“How could it be the sa! Back then, none of that at was ant for ; it was for Grandma and Dad to eat. Being hungry was useless, but now it’s different—it’s ours,” Chuner blurted out.

Indeed, at the Mo family, Old Lady Mo ruled the house. By nature stingy and narrow-minded, and even harsher on them since the main branch had not produced a male heir. Even hoping not to starve was fortunate; how could they be any expectations for more?

“Following , you’ve suffered,” Madam Xie said, feeling down as she rembered the tough old days.

“Those days are past, mother. Don’t dwell on it; our lives will only get better,” Xuexue comforted her.

“Perhaps leaving the Mo family was a blessing in disguise for us,” Madam Xie finally admitted, feeling for the first ti that they could live well even away from the Mo family. The past resentnts seed to have dissipated quite a bit.

“Of course; we used to only get a few slices of at during the New Year, but now, we can eat at every day,” Xuexue laughed.

“Right, right, and best of all, we no longer have to fear Grandma,” Chuner added eagerly.

Having just co through a life-or-death experience, Chuner used to tremble whenever Old Lady Mo berated Madam Xie. At night, she would have nightmare after nightmare, filled with Old Lady Mo’s cursing and yelling. She’d wake up in cold sweat, soaking her clothes through, but Chuner never dared tell Madam Xie, afraid of making her sad.

“Mm! From now on, no one will scold or beat us anymore! I promise you that,” Xuexue ensured, nodding her head.

“My dear, who hits you? Tell , and I’ll flatten him,” the fool, hearing the words ‘hit’ and ‘scold,’ ran over to Xuexue and raised his fist, saying earnestly.
