Chapter 87: Chapter 87 - Why Is It All Soil?

Poor Director Gu, his wife and children are making themselves a little private kitchen, but he himself has to set an example by eating dinner in the canteen, so what’s left is enough for him to add to his meal.

*

The old Chen family was eating dinner as well.

Seeing Ma Xiulian serve up a dish of shiny, fragrant, braised fish, all the sons and daughters-in-law of the old Chen family were stunned, "Mom, what’s the special occasion today?"

Zhou Zhaodi, on the contrary, grabbed Chen Erbao’s ear tightly and interrogated fiercely: "You little rascal, did you sneak off to the reservoir on the mountain again to go fishing?"

The reservoir was halfway up the mountain, where there was a chance of encountering dangerous animals. Not only that, but the water was very deep and many people had drowned there before.

Chen Erbao immediately started wailing: "I didn’t go, Mom, take it easy, my ear’s about to come off. Grandma, save me!"

Upon seeing her grandson’s plea for help, Ma Xiulian calmly said, "I don’t know whether Erbao went to the reservoir."

This grandson of hers was very bold. If she didn’t give him a good lesson, she might have to worry about him sneaking off to the reservoir to fish.

Hearing this, Zhou Zhaodi scolded him even more severely, "If I find out you sneaked off to the reservoir, I’ll spank you so hard you’ll see flowers!"

She too, was afraid that her son would recklessly gamble with his life.

Chen Erbao gritted his teeth in pain and said, "Hiss, Ma, Ma, I didn’t lie to you, I haven’t been to the reservoir!"

Seeing him learning his lesson, Zhou Zhaodi then released her hand.

Chen Erbao rubbed his sore ear and looked reproachfully at his grandmother, "Grandma, you don’t love me anymore."

But this mournful expression on his suntanned face ... was somewhat hard to behold.

Ma Xiulian glanced at him and moved her gaze away in disgust, getting back to the point, "This fish was gifted by Comrade Jiang Manyun."

As a result, the old Chen family was once again shocked: Just how wealthy is Director Gu’s family that they can afford to use such a large amount of oil for a single braised fish!

Li Chunhua and Zhou Zhaodi were even more determined: They can’t afford to miss such a good household!!

However, Li Chunhua was contemplating asking her son after dinner how he enjoyed playing with the young master of the Gu family today?

Zhou Zhaodi was thinking about ensuring that Guibao grows up together with the young master of the Gu Family. The more familiar the Gu Family becomes with Guibao, the more likely they’ll take a liking to her.

Suddenly, they realized their niece wasn’t at home, "Mom, where’s Guibao?"

With a delicacy like braised fish at home, she wouldn’t have denied her granddaughter the opportunity to partake.

Chen Erbao quickly explained, "Guibao went to aunt Jiang’s house for meat."

His tone and expressions were filled with envy; Guibao was probably going to stuff herself with meat today.

Seeing her mother-in-law nod, Zhou Zhaodi became even more excited.

See? Her idea was foolproof!

With her granddaughter absent, Ma Xiulian divided the cooked rice amongst her three grandsons.

Only when dealing with Guibao did she cease from being the grandmother who valued boys over girls.

Chen Erbao, the unlucky child, got the portion at the bottom of the pot. After taking two bites, he spat it out: "Why is there so much dirt?!"

Zhou Zhaodi immediately leaned in and saw a considerable amount of yellow dirt mixed in with the otherwise snow-white rice, "So there is. The wall must be shedding dirt again."

Chen Erbao moaned pitifully: "How am I supposed to eat this now, I got really unlucky."

Ma Xiulian’s eyebrows furrowed; the rice she had measured out was absolutely clean.

The next second, her stern gaze landed on Erni.

Erni immediately lowered her head in guilt, not daring to meet her gaze.

Seeing her reaction, there wasn’t anything Ma Xiulian didn’t understand.
