Chapter 250 - Just why couldn't her brother step up his ga? (3)
Fang Jingyuan had known Tong Xuelu her entire life, and she had never seen Tong Xuelu so pitiful, even when she took a fall or when she was beaten.
Feeling uneasy, Fang Jingyuan said, “Why did you leave the Tong family then? I an the other Tong family. Uncle and Aunty Tong doted on you so much. They would not kick you out had you not left.”“You don’t understand what it was like to live on soone else’s roof that you don’t belong to.”Tong Xuelu’s voice lowered again. Her voice was soft, sounding like she was holding back her tears. Fang Jingyuan felt even more complicated. She recalled how Tong Xuelu had asked her for help, instead of the other Tong family, when her brother was in trouble. What was even odder was that the other Tong family didn’t seem to have done anything after they had found out about it. They didn’t not speak up for her, nor did they help spread the word. Could that be the reason that she left the Tong family?Recalling how she had made fun of Tong Xuelu at the ti, Fang Jingyuan felt very guilty. “You……” Feeling guilty, Fang Jingyuan couldn’t find any words to say. “What are you serving today? Give us one of everything.”Tong Xuelu acknowledged their order and returned to the kitchen. Today, on the nu was at stir-fry, stir fried eggs and tomatoes, and seaweed and egg drop soup. Tong Xuelu had Guo Weiping stand by her and observe as she made the three dishes with alacrity. Fang Jingyuan was ntally prepared to have “pig feed.” To her surprise, the dishes had yet to be served when the appetizing aroma spread from the kitchen window, making everybody gulp.“Oh my god, that slls so good! I have never slled anything like this before!”“Is that really Tong Xuelu cooking inside? Why is it that I find that hard to believe?”“ neither. I’ve known Tong Xuelu for a very long ti. I never knew that she could cook!”Fang Jingyuan quickly defended her, saying, “She didn’t know how in the past, but she learned how to cook for her new family. Rember not to bring up her past later.” Recalling Tong Xuelu’s pitiful state earlier, she decided that there was no reason for her sad past to be brought up. The others understood Fang Jingyuan’s point right away. They all knew about the situation of Tong Xuelu’s new family, and they all felt for her.They quietly agreed that they would not bring up her old family and that they would turn over a new page, forgetting all the beef that they had against each other in the past. All of the dishes were served after a little while. When they saw the grease reflecting off the peppered pork, the red and yellow stir-fried eggs and tomatoes, and the seaweed and egg drop soup, everybody gulped. Everything slled delectable!They already slled very nice when the aroma ca from the kitchen. Now that the dishes were placed in front of them, the sll was all the more fragrant and appealing. Without further ado, everybody picked up their chopsticks and started diving into the food. The at stir fry was spicy and savory, the at tender and smooth. It was the perfect dish to go with the rice.The stir-fried eggs and tomatoes were sweet, fresh, and had a good texture. It, too, went very well with the rice. The seaweed and egg drop soup was light and complented the spicy stir-fried at very well. In short, they were all so delicious!They never would have thought that not only could Tong Xuelu cook, but her cooking was so amazing!This was beyond their wildest imaginations!When all of the food had been wiped clean, not only did everyone look at Tong Xuelu in a much gentler way, but there was also respect in their eyes. This was a giant leap for Fang Jingyuan, who disliked Tong Xuelu a lot in the past. So much so that she did everything within her power to stop her from marrying her brother. She sowhat regretted that right now. Had she known that Tong Xuelu’s cooking was so amazing, she would never have tried to stop their marriage. If she had married her brother, did that an she would have had tasty food like this every day?!Regret or not, she now knew that her brother was no better than dog poop in Tong Xuelu’s mind. Just why couldn’t her brother step up his ga?
