But on Fang Xiu’s side, Fang Pingying was indeed sowhat worried about her.
If she really becos dependent on Luo Zhiming like in her previous life, spending lavishly when they have money, and Luo Zhiming influenced by Zhou Yuni chooses to divorce her, without any real skills herself, life could beco unbearably tough.
She could only hope that Fang Xiu’s fate in this life would be different from her previous one.
Regardless, even though the sisters quarrel, Fang Pingying still wished for her well-being.
Fang Pingying sighed and headed ho.
The jujube cake she had intended to give to her second uncle’s family ended up with Li Yuchun, so she planned to make so more in the afternoon for them.
Because she had chatted with Li Yuchun on the way, she got ho later than expected.
Thinking lunch would have been ready, she was surprised when upon entering the yard, Zhou Yuni looked at her impatiently saying, "What’s going on? Why are you returning at this ti?"
Fang Pingying noticed that Zhou Yuni and Luo Cuilan were all sitting in the yard, with so noise in Luo Zhiming’s house indicating the couple was there; she thought her family was waiting for her impatiently to have lunch and smiled apologetically, "Yes, I finished work a bit late today. I’ll try to co earlier tomorrow so as not to delay everyone’s alti."
Zhou Yuni looked at her with a forced smile, extrely impatient, and suddenly yelled, "What alti? We haven’t even cooked lunch yet."
"Not cooked?" Fang Pingying paused, asking in disbelief.
At this ti, most families had already had their lunch. A big family like theirs at ho, yet no one had prepared the al.
Zhou Yuni glanced at her irritably and said, "Isn’t it because we were waiting for you to co back and cook? You’ve been handling these matters at ho recently."
Fang Pingying, seeing her speak as if it was entirely expected, was also infuriated.
She sharply retorted at Zhou Yuni, "Mom, you know I’ve been handling these tasks recently. Now I want to start doing my own things. By rights, it should be my turn to rest for a while."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuni’s face completely soured, and she angrily rebuked Fang Pingying, "Didn’t you say doing your own business wouldn’t interfere with ho affairs? Not cooking lunch now, what are you planning to do?"
Fang Pingying couldn’t help but raise her voice, "Mom, I said it wouldn’t interfere when it’s my turn, but I’ve been doing it for several days this month. I need to rest these next few days. Just arrange for soone else."
Zhou Yuni glared, frowning, and questioned Fang Pingying, "Are you really going to make such a big deal out of cooking a al?"
Fang Pingying snorted coldly, retorting, "If you aren’t concerned, then why wait for to co back to cook? With so many people at ho, can’t anyone else cook?"
"You..." Zhou Yuni was choked with anger, then blurted out, "If you’re not cooking today, then just skip the morning al."
"Fine, skip it. I don’t care. I’m not a nanny for this household, I have no obligation to wait on you all day," Fang Pingying stated resolutely, "I’ve said before, I only do my own tasks. Extra tasks, I’ll do if I have ti. If not, you all handle it yourself."
With that, Fang Pingying went back to her room.
She thought of resting for a while, then have her al, and continue working afterward.
But thinking about the ss at ho gives her a headache, the Luo family is just so lazy and gluttonous.
Now there’s not much work in the fields, except for Luo Dashan doing so odd jobs, Zhou Yuni, Fang Xiu, and Luo Cuilan, the couple plus one, just idle away their days at ho.
With so many people, why can’t they cook?
Was the Luo family starving every al and nobody cooked before she married into the family?
Previously, because hawthorn jam and those things were not difficult to make, and the quantity was not much, selling them at a market only required a half day’s work.
Additionally, back then Luo Zhiyong was there helping her and Luo Honglan cook, she was definitely more relaxed, having spare ti, and sotis seeing Luo Honglan always working alone in the kitchen, she would help out if she was free.
But now Luo Zhiyong is not at ho, making things like jujube cake is not as simple as hawthorn jam, there are many things to do in the middle, so naturally, she can’t manage the household chores every day.
Besides, even if she could handle it, she wouldn’t bother anymore; the whole family is so lazy, and not the least bit self-aware, if she continues to be diligent, she will eventually beco the family’s nanny without anyone being grateful.
Thinking about these upsetting matters, Fang Pingying fell asleep on the bed.
At the sa ti, Zhou Yuni had no choice but to prepare lunch since one cannot just let the family go unfed. Others were unmoving despite her calls, so she had to bring Luo Honglan to cook lunch in the kitchen.
Because she was unhappy, Zhou Yuni cooked with loud noises, slamming kitchen knives and dishes, cursing Fang Pingying under her breath.
Hearing this at the fireside, Luo Honglan couldn’t stand it anymore and frowned, "Mom, why are you so partial? Sister-in-law is busy all day long, and you don’t even help. Instead, you leave all the household chores to her, and you start blaming when she misses a al."
Getting a bit angry, she pointed outside and asked, "What about second sister-in-law and my sister? They do nothing all day at ho, why don’t you call them out to work? You always spoil them, they will end up being lazy."
"Insolent girl, what are you talking about? That’s your elder sister, she is pregnant."
"Does being pregnant an she can’t do anything? Didn’t you used to say that you still worked in the fields and carried bricks when you were pregnant with us?" Actually, Luo Honglan thought, being pregnant wasn’t so precious, cooking wasn’t impossible.
To prove her capability, Zhou Yuni did often say those words in the past which now made it difficult for her to refute Luo Honglan’s complaint, so she said, "With so many people in the family, we don’t need her to work."
"Fine, let’s not talk about eldest sister. What about second sister-in-law and her husband? Why can’t they co out and do so work?" After speaking, she glanced outside, puzzled because when she just returned, she clearly heard noises from Fang Xiu’s room, but no one had co out yet, so she asked Zhou Yuni,
"By the way, what exactly are second brother and second sister-in-law doing in their room? I heard them talking while I was passing through the courtyard, but they never ca out."
Hearing Luo Honglan’s words, Zhou Yuni’s eyes flickered, suddenly rembering sothing and she slightly smiled, then told Luo Honglan, "Don’t ask about them. If your second brother and second sister-in-law are in their room, don’t disturb them unless it’s necessary, I am waiting to hug my grandson."
Luo Honglan didn’t think much about it and retorted, "What does this have to do with having a grandson?"
"Just do as I tell you, don’t question it," responded Zhou Yuni jubilantly, "Your second brother promised , by the end of this year, your second sister-in-law should be pregnant with my grandson, maybe this ti next year I’ll be holding my eldest grandson, haha."
Luo Honglan thought that having children wasn’t so guaranteed, so she scoffed, "Well, keep dreaming, it might not happen that soon."
Seeing Luo Honglan still didn’t grasp her point and kept talking non-stop, Zhou Yuni scolded while sweeping her head, "Girl, don’t catch every word said, lest people laugh at you." (To be continued.
