Chapter 378: Chapter 312 Can’t You Be Reasonable?
Luckily, this “famous dish” wasn’t unbearably disgusting.
Mainly, people like Madam Rong and Qin i who had suffered in the past… their standards for the deliciousness of food weren’t too high.
As long as it wasn’t too disgusting to swallow, they could eat it.
Of course, Rong Yan was different.
She was pretty picky with food, even now in this era, her discerning taste seed to have co along with her, plus she had been eating dishes made by her mother all this ti.
So, in the evening… she really didn’t eat much of this “famous dish” she had made herself.
Luckily, she was quite self-aware and served herself very little, otherwise, it would have been a waste of food.
Madam Rong didn’t mind her eating so little.
If the girl was picky about food, it just ant she wasn’t hungry, when she was really hungry, she would even chew on leaves and wild grass.
She got up and went straight to wash the dishes.
Rong Yan just sat in the yard to enjoy the cool.
At that mont, there was a knock on the door.
Qin i was faster than her, “Sister, you sit, I’ll go open the door.”
She said and ran out.
Rong Yan felt uneasy letting her go to open the door alone at this late hour.
So she got up and went out too.
When Qin i opened the door, she saw the person… and felt a bit displeased inside, because this person had blocked her sister-in-law in the afternoon!
However, she was a rather shy person, and a kind young girl, so she didn’t make her displeasure too obvious.
“…What do you want?”
Li Juan saw a very pretty girl, which was her first ti eting.
She really wasn’t familiar with Rong Yan’s family.
Not to ntion Qin i seldom went out.
Li Juan didn’t recognize her at all.
“I’m looking for Rong Yan…”
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked up to see Rong Yan coming out.
“What do you want from ?” Rong Yan hadn’t expected it to be her, slowly walking out, “I rember we aren’t close.”
So people’s aura… perhaps it’s just opposite.
Li Juan didn’t know why, but she found it very hard to like the person in front of her.
Just look, as soon as this person spoke, it made her quite unhappy.
Taking a deep breath, she suppressed the displeasure in her heart, “I have sothing to talk to you about, can we talk inside?”
Rong Yan looked at her, responding casually, “Didn’t you just say we aren’t close? What’s there to talk about? You’d better leave quickly! I’m not interested in talking to you, besides, given our relationship as strangers, what could we possibly have to talk about?”
Li Juan had never encountered soone who was so dismissive of her.
Angrily, she stomped her foot, “Why are you like this? I really have sothing I need to talk to you about.”
“What would I have to do with you?” Rong Yan refused to be swayed.
She gestured for Qin i to go back, as she was preparing to close the door.
But who would have known that Li Juan, with her thick skin, took advantage of the mont Rong Yan and Qin i exchanged glances and barged right in.
Rong Yan: …?
Qin i was also sowhat surprised.
“Sister-in-law,” she stamred, “she went inside. How can soone do that?”
Rong Yan soothed her, “It’s alright, you go back to your room for now.”
Then, her face slightly darkened as she returned to the courtyard.
Upon seeing Li Juan just standing there, she scoffed coldly, “Given that you’ve had an education, don’t you know that barging into soone’s ho without the owner’s permission is a rather shaless act of presumption? If I wanted to, I could still sue you for trespassing.”
Li Juan was entirely unconcerned by her words, “Why are you making such a big deal about this? We all live in the sa alley, it’s just neighbors visiting one another.”
Rong Yan let out a snort, “Neighbors visit each other because they have a good relationship, but do I have such a relationship with you?”
Truly, a rare oddity.
Flushed from being squeezed ti and again by Rong Yan, Li Juan’s face started to show it.
“We just moved here not long ago, but if you live here longer, then wouldn’t that relationship eventually develop? Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s talk about Ming Liping. I visited her house this afternoon, learned so things—Sister Liping is innocent, she didn’t do those things, it was all her wicked stepmother. Can’t you drop the issue?”
Seeing Rong Yan raising an eyebrow at her, she quickly added, “I an, the one at fault is Xu Ke. If you’re going to pursue this, you should go after Xu Ke, not hate Sister Liping. She truly is innocent, you going around suing her…do you realize you’re ruining her?”
Rong Yan: …?
As Li Juan spoke, her passion grew, and her voice beca increasingly louder, “She’s only twenty, still so young with a bright future ahead, and by doing this, you’re completely ruining her…you can’t be so unkind…”
Madam Rong was still holding a bowl when she ca out and listened to this girl’s rant.
Her anger flared up imdiately, “Who are you? What are you doing in my house?”
With that query, Li Juan suddenly stopped speaking and turned to look at Madam Rong, her eyes lighting up.
If Rong Yan, the daughter, was unreasonable, then surely the mother would be easier to talk to.
She quickly approached Madam Rong, “Auntie, hello, I’m Li Juan, from the family at the entrance of the alley…”
“I don’t care which family you’re from, what are you doing in my house?” Madam Rong’s tone was thick with displeasure, as this girl had just been insulting her daughter.
This made her very unhappy.
Ignoring the evident displeasure in her voice, Li Juan pressed on, “Auntie, please persuade Rong Yan! Dragging an innocent girl to the police station, it really isn’t right. Sister Liping is only twenty, not even married yet. Rong Yan doing this is practically ruining her. We shouldn’t be so cruel!”
“Furthermore, I’ve looked into it, Sister Liping is innocent, just let her go! Rong Yan is a bit unreasonable, but I believe auntie isn’t like that.”
“There’s a saying isn’t there? Leave so leeway, to et in the future. Why force people into a dead end?”
“And, the way you handle things is a bit unscrupulous—suing Sister Ming Li is one thing, but to also report Uncle Ming, how deep is this grudge? Even if you hold grudges, it shouldn’t be against Uncle Ming and Sister Liping. If you must resent soone, it should be Xu Ke, everything is her fault…”
Listening to this, Madam Rong’s fury peaked.
Facing this endlessly babbling person, she couldn’t bear it anymore.
She finally shouted, “Shut up.”
The person who had been confidently preaching for diation froze in shock at the shout.
After a mont, she found her voice again, her tone aggrieved, “…Auntie, why are you yelling at ? Am I wrong? Your daughter is young and reckless, ssing things up, why do you just let her be? Can’t you be reasonable?”
