Chapter 414 The Vain Little Aunt 14
"Mom, I'm hungry and want to eat meat."
"Okay, okay, eat, eat, eat. Now let me serve you milk."
Zhou Xing'er shamelessly found an empty bowl and took two steps forward to ask Mrs. Xiang to help Xiang Pingkang get some chicken soup first.
"Mom, please give Ping Kangsheng some chicken soup to relieve his craving. The child is hungry."
Unexpectedly, when Xiang Pozi took the bowl, she said coldly, "You, the second room, will not have any chicken soup today. Get out of here."
This made Zhou Xing'er a little dumbfounded.
She couldn't believe it and said, "What? Mom, we haven't separated yet, why can't you let us eat?"
Zhou Xing'er became anxious.
The mother-in-law rolled her eyes at her.
"Isn't it shameful that I can't teach my children to steal chickens and dogs? They stole the chicken last time and satisfied their cravings. They won't get the chicken soup from this house anymore."
"You second wife can't teach your children well, so you won't have anything to eat. If you dare to sneak a little meat, I will definitely skin you alive. Get out!"
Seeing Xiang picking up the fire poker and preparing to hit her, Zhou Xing'er was really scared.
She hurriedly pulled Xiang Pingkang out of the kitchen.
Just by smelling the aroma of chicken soup, Xiang Pingkang fell to the ground and started rolling around.
"I want chicken soup, mom, I want chicken soup, I don't care, I just want chicken soup."
Zhou Xing'er was already feeling upset, and now seeing Xiang Pingkang rolling on the ground looking for trouble.
She couldn't help but raise her hand and slap him twice, and her voice was full of displeasure.
"Eat, eat, eat. All you do is eat. Don't you know you're annoying? No one in this family likes you."
"We are all grandchildren of the Xiang family, why are you the only one who is so annoying? Your own grandmother won't even let you drink chicken soup."
These words were apparently spoken to Xiang Pingkang, but were actually spoken to Xiang Youlu who had just returned.
Just now, he threw a tantrum at Pingkang, but it was just thunder without rain. Now that he was slapped in the face, he cried his heart out.
Xiang Youlu, who had put down his hoe, rushed forward to protect Xiang Pingkang.
"Why do you hit a child? The child is young and doesn't understand. You can't argue with him."
Xiang Youlu loved his children very much, especially his only son, to whom he was extremely kind.
When Zhou Xing'er saw Xiang Youlu rushing towards her, she immediately rolled her eyes and lowered her head to wipe away her tears.
"What can I do? The child is craving for meat, but mother won't give it to us, the second wife. As a parent, I am incompetent, and I feel sorry for the child."
The crying of the child was enough to make Xiang Youlu feel distressed, and Zhou Xing'er looked so aggrieved as she wiped her tears.
Over the years, Zhou Xing'er has been able to keep Xiang Youlu tightly in her hand by relying on her ability to coax men.
"What's going on? Didn't you say there would be meat today?"
There was a lot of crying and noise outside, and the old woman could hear it clearly.
She walked to the door and said to Xiang Youlu confidently, "Of course we have meat to eat. Qingcao caught a pheasant in the mountains. It's very fat. But haven't you from the second branch eaten the chicken? Are you still thinking about the food in other people's mouths?"
Xiang Pingkang buried himself in Xiang Youlu's arms and continued crying. Zhou Xing'er was afraid of being beaten and hid behind Xiang Youlu.
The mother and son are like a bullied young wife.
"Mom, isn't that thing over? Why are you bringing it up again now?"
"Xing'er did do something wrong, but the family hasn't been divided yet, so why do you want to separate our second room? Do you want us to watch you eat meat?"
Facing the wailing child and his wife hiding behind him for support, Xiang Youlu's heart was filled with heartache at this moment.
Xiang Pozi rolled her eyes and spat, "Bah, shameless, when Zhou Yan and Xiang Pingkang stole the chicken to eat, did they ever think of eating one in our family?"
"I'm telling you, your father and I are not dead yet, it's your turn to be the boss of this family, get out of here."
The meaning is very clear. Xiang Pozi can arrange things however she wants, and Xiang Youlu has no right to interfere.
Zhou Xing'er saw that Xiang was determined not to let the second wife have a bite of the chicken today.
She was seen pulling at the corner of Xiang Youlu's clothes somewhat unwillingly.
Xiang Youlu, who had been brave for his wife and children just now, now had no confidence. He knew very well that if Xiang Pozi was really angry, she would definitely beat him to a pulp.
Seeing that Xiang Youlu did not move, Zhou Xing'er pulled Xiang Pingkang back to the room angrily.
Xiang Youlu hurriedly followed him back to the room. Zhou Yan in the yard gritted her teeth unwillingly, but Xiang Qingtai showed no emotion at all.
Even if the second house was allowed to eat chicken, Zhou Xing'er would snatch the broth away from Qingtai and give it all to Zhou Yan and Xiang Pingkang.
Zhou Xing'er burst into tears in the room, and when she saw Xiang Youlu coming into the room, she raised her hand and started to hit him.
"Useless thing, you are just a waste. The whole family is targeting our second branch, and you don't even help your own wife and children. Xiang Youlu, are you still a man? Why did I choose you in the first place?"
Zhou Xing'er has lived a good life in recent years. If she had not met Xiang Youlu, who was unable to find a wife, who knows how she and Zhou Yan would have been spent now.
Her deceased ex-husband's family conditions were not much better, and he also had a really wicked mother-in-law.
Compared with that evil mother-in-law, Xiang Pozi is so much better.
But Zhou Xing'er was not satisfied. If she was not so-so and had been married once, Zhou Xing'er would definitely find a way to find a good family.
This is why she always wanted Zhou Yan to find a good family, and she always mentioned that she would rather marry a concubine from a wealthy family than marry a poor woman.
This is completely different from what Xiang Po taught Xiang Yun. Xiang Po hoped that her daughter would marry into a wealthy family, not become someone's concubine.
Zhou Xing'er is willing to be a concubine as long as he has money.
Xiang Youlu lowered his head and blamed himself towards his wife, "Mother has already said so much, it's useless for us to make a fuss. Xing'er, I know I'm sorry for you, and I will definitely make it up to you in the future."
"Come on! You want to make it up to me? What can you do to make it up to me? I don't care. You can make our whole family go without meat today, but will you starve our family of five to death tomorrow?"
Zhou Xing'er clenched her fists and punched Xiang Youlu hard. She felt that she had had enough of this kind of life.
She just rolled her eyes and gritted her teeth.
"We must separate. I don't want to be bullied by you anymore. Go and propose a separation."
In the plot, Zhou Xing'er had wanted to split up the family for a long time, but she was hesitant and didn't speak to Youlu.
In this era, filial piety is the most important virtue. No one would ask for separation of the family while parents are still alive, unless the parents take the initiative to do so.
Seeing Xiang Youlu fall silent again, Zhou Xing'er gritted her teeth and felt very disappointed with him.
"Xiang Youlu, do you want to force me to death? It's fine if you keep Xiang Yun, a money-loser, but now that old woman has meat and doesn't give us food, won't it be even more excessive in the future? Don't you think about our children?"
