Dreaming of Lion Rock: Recipe in Hand

Chapter 299 Encountering a Strange Person 1

"Aunt, cook the meat. There are so many people anyway."

Chunni and the other two looked at the door together. A middle-aged couple was standing at the door, followed by three young men. The voice came from the middle-aged man.

Hua Jingshu's face turned ugly.

"Jianguo, you're here! Come in and sit down." Niu Dazhuang spoke first.

"Well, uncle, today happens to be Sunday, so I brought the children to visit you at home!" The middle-aged man patted the eldest child's head fiercely and scolded him fiercely: "Did your mouth get stitched? Are you mute?"

"Don't hit him, don't hit him. The child is young and doesn't understand. Everything will be fine when he grows up!" The middle-aged woman hurriedly protected the child.

But the more she protected him, the angrier the man became. He picked up the umbrella at the door and started to scold his eldest son.

"Are you still young? You're already sixteen! You don't study well, you can't find a job, and you just eat and drink for free at home. If I had known you were so useless, I shouldn't have let your mother give birth to you. If she hadn't given birth to you, how could your mother have died. Why don't you die sooner!" The man chased the eldest son and started beating him at Teacher Niu's house.

"That's enough. If you want to teach the kid a lesson, go home and teach him a lesson! Why are you trying to show off in front of me?" Hua Jingshu got angry and shouted.

The man smiled. "Aunt, I won't hit him anymore! He looked so stupid that I couldn't help myself. I won't hit him anymore, I won't hit him anymore!" He put the broken umbrella back to its original place and asked his wife to help him in the kitchen.

"Erhua, go and help your uncle cook. It's almost time for lunch, and your aunt and uncle must be hungry. Don't keep them waiting too long." The man sat at the table, picked up two pears and handed them to his two younger sons.

His eldest son crouched by the door, squinting his eyes and looking up at the sky.

Hua Jingshu came to him and whispered something to comfort him.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man bit the pear and smiled with satisfaction.

Niu Dazhuang shook his head, sighed, and said nothing. He was the one who was sorry for the old woman.

Chunni felt as if she was scratched by a cat's claws. She wanted to ask, but she couldn't ask at this moment, so she could only cook in silence.

She steamed the rice first, then started to cook the white-cut chicken. As for the meat, she followed Teacher Niu's instructions, stir-frying the lean meat with oyster mushrooms and making the fatty meat into pork belly.

"Teacher Hua, do you have fermented black beans at home?" Chunni walked up to Hua Jingshu and asked her.

Hua Jingshu was in a daze, and when Chunni spoke to her, she smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm sorry to make you laugh! I don't have any fermented black beans at home. I'll go borrow some from my neighbor."

Chunni saw that she was worried and was afraid that something might happen to her, so she followed her.

"Teacher Li's black bean sauce is made by her mother-in-law, and it tastes very good." The two walked away chattering. Without noticing, the middle-aged woman in the room waved and called the man and the child to the kitchen.

Niu Dazhuang...They treated me as if I didn't exist!

When Hua Jingshu and Chunni, who had recovered some of their energy, walked into the kitchen with their bowls, they saw messy chicken nuggets.

Chicken head, chicken neck, chicken butt, and a few dry chicken bones.

The chicken legs, chicken wings and chicken breasts are all gone!

Chunni...this dish can still be served on the table!

Hua Jingshu's chest rose and fell sharply, and the anger in her eyes was about to burst out. She walked out of the kitchen quickly and saw her good nephew and his wife wiping the oil off their mouths.

The nephew had no sense of shame for being caught, and acted shameless. "Aunt, your nephew is still growing and can't stand being hungry, so he tried a few pieces of chicken. Mmm, the chicken is quite delicious. I haven't seen you for a week, and your uncle's cooking skills have improved! Uncle, make us a chicken when we leave! My mother has never eaten such delicious chicken!"

When talking about her sister, Hua Jingshu's arrogance suddenly weakened. If it weren't for her sister, she wouldn't be able to go to college and wouldn't have the good life she has today.

But... that was Chunni's intention! And she was just ignored by these ungrateful people. She was angry again.

"What are you eating? Are you a reincarnated ghost from starvation? How did you teach your child? He dares to eat and drink as much as he wants when he comes to visit relatives. I think you have read so much that you have forgotten all the propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame!" Hua Jingshu vented her anger, and she could not suppress her temper at all!

Her nephew's face turned blue and purple after she retorted, looking extremely ugly.

Niu Dazhuang came out to smooth things over. "The child is still young, he doesn't know what etiquette is. Chunni is not an outsider, the family is eating together, it's okay for the child to eat first."

"Well, you have to pretend to be kind. If it weren't for you, would my aunt have no children to take care of her in her old age? Would we have to trouble our family to visit her every week?" The man did not give Niu Dazhuang any face, and complained loudly in front of Chunni.

Niu Dazhuang's eyes darkened and he walked into the kitchen to help!

"Who are these people? They are so ignorant of etiquette. When visiting our elders, if not bringing gifts, they should at least bring some fruits!" Chunni asked Niu Dazhuang casually, her voice so loud that even Lao Wang next door could hear it.

"That's the child of your teacher Hua's sister." Niu Dazhuang answered honestly with a smile on his face.

"Oh, so it's your younger generation. They come to the relatives' house to eat empty-handed, pick up the bowl and call mom, put down the bowl and curse, right? Who gave them the face?"

"The child is young and doesn't understand."

"Teacher Niu, you are so considerate. Unlike some people," these people said very loudly, "unlike some people who have the nerve to eat and drink for free and still want to take more for free, and never get enough!"

The middle-aged man was bullied by Chunni and Niu Dazhuang until his face turned red and he looked like a bull demon king who was about to spit fire!

He slapped the table hard and said loudly: "Back then, my mother saved money to support my aunt's education. Now I only eat a few meals of yours, which is my aunt's repayment of my mother's kindness. If it weren't for my aunt, I wouldn't be willing to care about you! If we didn't come here often to see you two old things, no one would know that you two died in the house! You are taking my kindness for granted and you are like a dog biting Lu Dongbin. You don't know the kindness of a good person. Without us, when you die in the future, you can only crawl into the caves of the mountain of graves by yourself!"

He was so angry that he spoke without restraint.

When Hua Jingshu heard this, she was so angry that her chest rose and fell sharply. She didn't expect her nephew to say such hurtful words! She raised her eyes and stared at the man who had been with her for most of her life. Regret, powerlessness, and heartache filled her heart, causing her healthy body to shake.

But she quickly calmed down and pointed at the middle-aged man and said, "I admit that my sister has been very kind to me. I also tried my best to make it up to her after I started working. I helped her get a job in the factory and worried about her children's study and life. It took me more than 30 years to repay her kindness! She..."

Hua Jingshu, who had always been strong, couldn't help but choke up and wiped her nose vigorously with a handkerchief.

Niu Dazhuang...his wife...I'm afraid she will never learn to behave like a lady in her lifetime!

She put the handkerchief back into her purse, pointed at the man and said, "You ungrateful bastard, look at the clothes you are wearing, which one of them was not taken from me. I have helped you with your work, your marriage, and even your children's education."

The man was flexible and smiled heartlessly to comfort Hua Jingshu, "Aunt, I didn't say you were mean to me. I was just mad at my uncle-in-law. If it weren't for his poor health, you wouldn't have any children. I just feel sorry for you!"

Hua Jingshu pushed the man's hand away and wiped her hands in disgust, turning them red.

"Husband and wife are one. If you scold him, you are scolding me. Besides, the money I spend on you is not something I can afford alone. He has a share of it. Since you look down on us so much, don't come to my house in the future! I can't afford to let you come all the way here and suffer."

The woman was anxious. She was looking forward to having a good meal at her aunt's house every weekend. She couldn't offend her.

"Aunt, uncle-in-law, don't be angry. You don't know Zhenhua well enough. He doesn't know east, west, south, or north after drinking some dog urine."

"No wine today." Hua Jingshu retorted unhappily.

"He gets drunk easily from tea."
