Rebirth: Splendid Marriage in the 80s

Chapter 154: Chapter 154: Coming to Demand Meat

How could he let Little down?

”Baoguo’s Wife, I am separated from my elder brother after all, and now there’s no such thing as an east room or a west room.”

Song Xiyun pursed her lips.

Having married Chiang Baoguo for so many years, she had often heard him say how much their Second Uncle valued brotherhood, saying that he and the Old Chiang Family were one family, and Chiang Songhai was quite happy to hear such words.

She originally thought that by referring to this place as the Chiang Family’s west room, Chiang Songhai would be pleased.

The smell of oily meat once again penetrated her nostrils.

Song Xiyun gritted her teeth; if she didn’t get to taste these delicacies today, she would have trouble sleeping tonight!

And that pork belly!

But now it seemed that Chiang Xiao, that wretched girl, was not easy to deal with; she needed to get her mother-in-law involved!

Song Xiyun’s eyes swiveled, and she immediately ran outside.

Chiang Songhai and Ge Liutao exchanged a glance, not understanding what she was up to, but Chiang Xiao got it right away.

With Song Xiyun’s tendency to take advantage of every little opportunity and seeing the abundance of meat and vegetables, how could she let it go?

She immediately said to Ge Liutao, ”Grandma, let’s cook! I’ll put these things away.” With that, she quickly went out and tied the courtyard door that Song Xiyun had left open, then returned to the main room and put all the items into the cupboard, closing the cupboard door.

”Grandma, you start cooking the rice, and when it’s done, we can reheat the dishes.”

Would Song Xiyun really dig through the cupboards in front of them?

Chiang Xiao put everything away and carried her cloth shoulder bag into the inner room.

Sure enough, just after she finished, the courtyard door was pounded loudly. Ho Laidi’s voice came clearly into the room.

”Uncle Hai, Auntie, what are you doing, locking the door? Open up!”

Ge Liutao was startled and instinctively shrank back, looking at Chiang Songhai, ”Uncle Hai, do you think Big Sister-in-law is here to scold us?”

After being harshly scolded by Ho Laidi last time, she had become even more nervous around her and dared not approach.

Seeing how frightened his wife was of his Big Sister-in-law, Chiang Songhai didn’t quite know how to feel.

”Ge Liutao, are you deaf? The sun hasn’t even set yet, why are you locking the door and hiding inside? I’m telling you, you’re both of age now; surely you can’t be up to making babies in broad daylight, can you?”

This remark...

Ge Liutao’s face flushed immediately, and she trembled all over.

Ho Laidi truly had a way of spouting anything!

Wasn’t this kind of talk insulting?

And Little was still there!

”Uncle Hai, how can Big Sister-in-law speak like that?” Tears suddenly flowed down Ge Liutao’s eyes as they reddened.

Chiang Songhai’s face changed from pale to red.

If they didn’t open the door, who knew what else Ho Laidi might say.

Chiang Xiao dashed out of the room in a few quick strides, ready to go out when Chiang Songhai grabbed her arm, ”Little, go back inside!”

He was genuinely worried that once Ho Laidi came in, there would be a confrontation with Chiang Xiao.

Fearing Ho Laidi might start hitting her and also afraid that Chiang Xiao would actually retort, after all, this was her great-aunt, and if Chiang Xiao constantly argued with her, it would harm her reputation.

”Grandpa!” Chiang Xiao bit her lip.

”Little, I told you to go inside! Are you not even listening to your Grandpa’s words now?”

Chiang Songhai was crystal clear about the purpose of Ho Laidi’s visit this time.

If people found out that Chiang Xiao had clashed with Ho Laidi over a bit of meat, her reputation would suffer.

So Chiang Songhai uncharacteristically took a firm stance, insisting Chiang Xiao retreat to the room to avoid the situation.

Although Chiang Xiao was annoyed, seeing her grandfather so adamant, her frustration grew and she turned into the inner room.
