Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Song Yan froze and quickly explained, “Mother, you’ve misunderstood . I usually eat very light food. Sotis, it’s just carrots and pickled vegetables, and the two of us can finish a al. This is because when Lu Lin smashed our things, I saw so eggs break. I didn’t want to waste them, so I fried them with vegetables.”
She smiled warmly and said, “Mother, even if you didn’t co over, I was going to call you. You can eat here. These are good for your body. They suit you the best.”
Li Jin snorted and stopped herself from exposing Song Yan’s intentions. She knew very well that if she did not co, her daughter-in-law would definitely not call her.
But now that Yan Han was no longer around, she only had Song Yan and Chen Lian, her two daughters-in-law, by her side. She couldn’t afford to fall out so badly with these two, lest ordering them around in the future would be difficult.
Li Jin picked up her chopsticks and began to eat the leek egg in big mouthfuls. Xia Jiang and Song Yan had only taken a few bites when they saw that Li Jin had already eaten more than half of the bowl of leek egg.
At this mont, Xia Jiang and Song Yan couldn’t sit still. They didn’t know what to say, so they quickly ate before Li Jin finished her al.
Originally, Xia Jiang and Song Yan had been eating slowly, but with Li Jin’s participation, they finished the al very quickly. At the end of the al, the leek and eggs were completely wiped clean, not leaving a single bit.
Li Jin touched her stomach and said to Song Yan, “Where’s the porridge?”
Song Yan was not happy. She had not eaten much of this plate of leeks and eggs, but now that Li Jin had spoken, she could only silently serve the porridge to the three of them.
The so-called congee was made with cornal and water. It was very diluted, but it still had so taste.
When Li Jin was almost done, she said to Song Yan, “I’m not here for anything else. Tell the truth, where did Xia Ru go? Can she get Lu Lin?”
Song Yan was furious. If she wanted to ask about this, she could have done it at any ti. Why did he have to wait until they were having dinner? She was clearly trying to get a free al.
However, Song Yan could not say anything.
“Mother, I don’t know either. Xia Ru didn’t even ntion this to us,” Song Yan said honestly.
Li Jin’s eyes widened. You don’t know where Xia Ru is, and Lu Lin has already left. How are we going to find her in the future?”
Song Yan was a little unhappy and stopped smiling. She even said indifferently, “Xia Ru is already 18 years old. She has her own plans. As her mother, I can’t control her too much.”
Li Jin asked a few more questions, but Song Yan knew nothing. She left unhappily and was about to walk around the village when she happened to et Old Man Li and his granddaughter talking under a big tree at the village entrance.
Li Jin wasn’t interested in their conversation at first, but when she heard them ntion “Xia Wan,” she stopped to eavesdrop.
“Xiaoyu, what did you say?” Old Man Li asked. “You saw Xia Wan and the others co out of the villa?”
Xiaoyu nodded. “That’s right, Grandpa. I didn’t believe it at first, but after Xia Wan ca out, Xia Chen followed her. Even if I was wrong about Xia Wan, I can’t be wrong about both.”
Old Man Li sighed. “Everyone in the village says that Li Jin is so cruel that she refuses to pay for Xia Hail s dical expenses. They think that Xia Hail s family must be living a terrible life. Now, it seems that everyone has underestimated his family. They’re living better than everyone in our village.”
Li Jin could not hold it in any longer. She stord over to Xiaoyu and asked,
“Where did you et Xia Wan? Hurry up and tell her location.”
Old Li and Xiaoyu were shocked when they saw Li Jin suddenly appear. Xiaoyu even shuffled backward subconsciously.
Even though Xiaoyu did not know Xia Wan very well, she had recently heard about Li Jin’s family. Hence, she knew what kind of person he was.
“I don’t know where Xia Wan lives,” she said, shaking her head.
Subconsciously, she didn’t want to tell Li Jin Xia Wan’s address.
Li Jin snorted coldly and threatened, “If you don’t tell where Xia Wan lives, I’ll bring my n and block your door. We’ll follow you wherever you go until you tell where Xia Wan lives!”
Xiaoyu knew that Li Jin was not just giving empty threats. Li Jin was really capable of doing such a thing. She said helplessly, “Alright, I’ll take you to Xia Wan..”
