Chapter 49 – 49 49 For Her Sake

Chapter 49: Chapter 49 For Her Sake Chapter 49: Chapter 49 For Her Sake Meng Wanhua didn’t need Chuyue to come in person, she immediately retorted, “Teach what?

Chuyue’s talent is innate.

Otherwise, explain to me why, having cooked half your life, no one in the family likes what you make?”

Meng Wanhua, angered, resorted to cursing, although she only said one word, it still left Chuyue and Meng Jingfen dumbfounded.

However, Zhao Tianzhi was frightened by Meng Wanhua.

Seeing her like this, she immediately got up to sneak off to the restroom: “…

I’m going to the bathroom.”

Chuyue couldn’t help but laugh and was the first to get up to clean up the bowl Meng Wanhua had just smashed.

Meng Wanhua then told a grim-faced Meng Jingfen, “Jingfen, don’t be upset about that ‘send you home’ comment.

I was just threatening your grandma.

You can rest assured, unless you don’t want to stay, you can always…

stay with me.”

Meng Wanhua originally wanted to say “you can always live here” but thinking that she wouldn’t be around much longer, she changed her phrasing to avoid leaving problems for Chuyue.

Jingfen felt relieved.

As she got up to clean up the tableware, she said with a smile, “I knew aunt couldn’t bear to part with me.

Aunt, I will take care of you with Chuyue in the future.”

Meng Wanhua nodded kindly, “Good, I’ll take you to see about a job tomorrow.”

“Thank you, aunt.

But, could you help me buy some clothes first?

I’m afraid others might think I’m too dowdy otherwise.”

“Of course.

Tomorrow morning, we’ll go shopping with your grandma for clothes and shoes, and at three in the afternoon, you’ll meet about the job.”

Hiding in the restroom, Zhao Tianzhi heard this and hurriedly came out, “Wanhua, I knew you wouldn’t really drive me away.”

Meng Wanhua scoffed, “I’ll buy you clothes tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow morning I’ll send you off.

Otherwise, the monthly five hundred allowance is off.”

Zhao Tianzhi: “…”

She wanted to argue, but they were the only family in Xiaoliu Village that provided a monthly allowance of five hundred.

In other families, let alone five hundred a month, it was rare even to give fifty during the New Year.

If Meng Wanhua canceled this money, she would have nowhere to cry.

She pleaded pitifully, “I promise not to provoke Chuyue anymore.

Let me stay here for ten full days, it’s too hot in the countryside, and your house is cooler.”

“I’ll buy you a better electric fan to take back tomorrow, and that’s final.”

Meng Wanhua said stiffly and went back to her bedroom.

She insisted on sending Zhao Tianzhi home after suddenly realizing that her presence was suffocating Chuyue.

If it were her, serving someone who had abused her every day, she wouldn’t have been able to stand it.

Chuyue endured so much to nurse her back to health; it was only right for her to consider Chuyue’s feelings.

…

Chuyue was now very happy.

Hmm, Mom defended her again.

And it was against Zhao Tianzhi.

Yeah, Mom really did love her.

Those past misunderstandings must have been just that.

Once Mom got better, she definitely planned to have a good talk with her to clear up those misunderstandings.

At bedtime, Chuyue thought Zhao Tianzhi would definitely be sleeping with Meng Wanhua.

That meant she’d have to share a bed with Jingfen.

Not wanting to sleep with Jingfen, she decided to sleep on the living room sofa.

Just as she was about to grab some bedding, she heard Meng Wanhua tell Zhao Tianzhi, “I’m sick and can’t stand your snoring.

Tonight, you either sleep with Jingfen or on the living room sofa.”

Chuyue: “…”

Perfect.

Jingfen: “…”

Why should she have to put up with the snoring?

She really wanted to switch with Chuyue but didn’t dare.

Well, it’s not like she hadn’t slept with grandma before; once asleep, it’s fine.

However, Zhao Tianzhi ultimately chose the sofa, claiming it was “very pretty.”

The next day, Chuyue only warmed up a bowl of chicken soup for Meng Wanhua.

After watching her drink it, she hurriedly left.

The rest of the ordinary chicken soup was left in the fridge at home.

She wasn’t worried about Jingfen and Zhao Tianzhi stealing any.

If they dared to eat it, she dared to make a fuss.
