Chapter 248 Chen Shuning is angry about the old woman and takes revenge for Ji Xue
The sun rose slowly, and the sunlight swept across the bright glass and fell on the wardrobe.
Chen Shuning always woke up early. He carefully put on his shoes and tiptoed out of the house. He picked up his backpack from the clothes hanger, opened the door and walked out.
The old lady next door was sitting in the yard. When she saw Chen Shuning come out, she turned her head away guiltily, with a sullen face and no words.
Chen Shuning rolled his eyes and ran out.
There was a state-owned restaurant just outside the alley that sold steamed buns and fried dough sticks in the morning. Chen Shuning followed the heat and found a breakfast stall across from the restaurant.
The stall owner was a plump older woman. When she saw Chen Shuning passing by, she greeted him, "Young comrade, would you like some breakfast? I have buns, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and millet porridge.
There's also tofu pudding, which can be added with chili oil and chives, and it tastes delicious!"
Chen Shuning saw that the state-owned restaurant opposite was empty, and saw that the breakfast stall here was very busy. After comparing them, he walked to the breakfast stall.
"Sister, how do you sell this?"
"Two big meat buns for 1.5 cents. Come and see. The skin is thin, the meat is big and tender. Porridge, porridge is cheap too. Look how mushy I made it."
Chen Shuning sniffed the fragrance in the air, waved his hand, and said, "Two small bowls of tofu pudding, a bowl of porridge, and a bowl of soy milk.
I want four big meat buns and four fried dough sticks. I want to take them home to eat. Big sister, please pack them for me."
As he spoke, Chen Shuning handed over the lunch box in his arms. Remembering that he needed to get some soy milk, he took out a can from his bag and handed it over.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely install it for you!"
The plump older sister packed the food quickly and put a few chopsticks of pickles into the lunch box before handing it to Chen Shuning.
"Young comrade, do you live in this area too? You look unfamiliar to me..."
"Well, yes... I just moved here not long ago. Big sister, you go ahead and do your work. My brother and sister-in-law are waiting for me. I have to go home."
"Oh, okay! Come back if you enjoy it..."
Chen Shuning walked into the yard carrying the lunch box. When she passed by the old lady, she deliberately paused for a while, waiting for the old lady to sniff the fragrance, and then she proudly walked in.
The old lady cursed inwardly: This black-hearted girl spent so much money on food, she is really a spendthrift. Whoever marries such a she-devil will be in great trouble.
Ji Xue opened her eyes in confusion, and it took her a few seconds to remember that she had slept with Chen Shuning last night.
She turned her head and sat up suddenly: "Huh? Jiaxing, where is Shuning? Why isn't she in the house?"
Chen Jiaxing quietly set the lunch box aside. When he heard Ji Xue's voice, he dared to speak louder. "Are you awake? Hurry up and brush your teeth and wash your face. Shu Ning bought breakfast. You still have to go to work after you finish eating!"
Ji Xue yawned, put on her shoes and walked out. She looked around but still couldn't find Chen Shuning.
"Where's Shuning?"
Chen Jiawang pointed outside the door and said helplessly, "Sister-in-law, go and see if Shu Ning has died of anger over the old lady next door."
Chen Shuning drank the soy milk proudly, a satisfied expression on his face, and whispered, "Who is so lucky to be able to drink fragrant soy milk so early in the morning?"
He took another bite of the big meat bun and squinted his eyes and said, "Meat buns are so delicious! My mouth is full of oil after taking a bite... I am so happy!"
The old lady turned away angrily. Chen Shuning took a few steps and ran to the other side of the old lady again, saying with a smile: "Oh, if you eat well in the morning, you won't be hungry all day."
The old lady touched her empty belly, leaned on her cane, and went back to the house angrily. She didn't want to be angry with this uneducated girl.
Chen Shuning snorted twice in satisfaction, turned around and saw Ji Xue, with an embarrassed expression on his face, and ran into the house with his head lowered.
Ji Xue washed up and walked into the house with a smile on her face: "Shuning, you are really great. I just told you yesterday how the old lady next door bullied me, and you avenged me today."
The old lady next door often complains about Ji Xue. She says she doesn't know how to live, is unfilial to her parents-in-law, and even says Ji Xue is an old hen that doesn't lay eggs.
Chen Shuning took a bite of the fried dough stick and said, "Next time she bullies you, you'll eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks right in front of her. I guarantee she'll be pissed off."
The old lady next door is not a pushover. Her daughter-in-law is a good hand at both the house and the outside. Every meal is prepared by her own hands and served to the old lady. The old lady eats well and wears clean clothes.
As a result, the old lady didn't appreciate the good things about her daughter-in-law and was always finding fault with her. This time, with her daughter-in-law away, there was no one to take care of her.
Chen Jiaxing pointed at the bowl and looked up and asked, "Xiaoxue, would you like porridge or tofu pudding?"
Ji Xue picked up the tofu pudding and sat next to Chen Shuning, saying, "Your trick is really mean. The old lady's face is almost green with anger."
Chen Jiaxing smiled and sneered, "Serves him right! His son was living a good life, but now she's ruined his life and tore him apart."
Ji Xue drank a mouthful of tofu pudding and agreed, "Don't even mention her daughter-in-law. I see her son hasn't come back in the past few days."
Chen Jiaxing sighed and murmured, "If she hadn't been involved, his son wouldn't be living like this. She looks pitiful, but she's actually so hateful."
Chen Jiawang echoed, "That's what they say: there must be something hateful about a pitiful person."
Chen Shuning stuffed a meat bun into Ji Xue's mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, try this bun and see if it's delicious. If it's delicious, I'll buy you more tomorrow."
"That plump lady at the entrance of the alley made this, right?" Ji Xue took a bite of the bun and said, "The size and the taste, you can tell she made it."
Ji Xue took a sip of tofu pudding and continued, "Ever since she opened that breakfast stall, the restaurant across the street has lost all its business.
As for our supply and marketing cooperative, after allowing individual businesses, business has deteriorated significantly. I don’t know what will happen in the future…”
"Don't overthink it." Chen Jiaxing raised his head and said, "Just work at the supply and marketing cooperative first. If you can't continue, the company will give you an explanation."
Chen Shuning thought about it in his mind and said, "I think what Big Brother said makes sense. Big Sister-in-law, you can do it first. If you really can't do it anymore, we can try another way."
Ji Xue cleared the haze from her heart, swallowed the bun in her mouth, and said, "Well, let's not think about the long term, let's take care of the present first!"
Ji Xue put down her bowl and chopsticks. Chen Jiaxing had already packed her things and handed them to her, and reminded her, "Go slowly on the road and watch out for the cars.
Don't bring lunch with you. I'll make it and send it to you. It's hot, and bringing lunch with you will spoil quickly..."
"Alright!" Ji Xue took the backpack, glared at Chen Jiaxing shyly, and said angrily, "I'm not a child anymore..."
"Pfft..."
Chen Shuning laughed out loud, then quickly lowered his head after receiving a warning look from his elder brother. It was no wonder that his elder brother was even more worried than his elder sister-in-law. His words of advice to Ji Xue were like coaxing a child.
Ji Xue's face turned even redder. She felt embarrassed to stay at home any longer, so she pushed the door open and walked out.
"what's so funny?"
If you can’t bear to scold your sister, can you also bear to beat your brother?
Chen Jiaxing slapped Chen Jiawang on the back of the head and said fiercely: "Learn this and do the same when you get married. This is what a good man should do!"
“Hahaha…” Chen Jiawang laughed even more happily: “Brother, I’m not as corny as you!”
"What do you mean by corny?" Chen Jiaxing's ears turned red as he stammered, "I'm not corny at all. This is called caring..."
Wang Na's voice came from outside the window: "Shuning, are you there?"
