Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Just Want to Eat Meat

She gave no thought to how much money her mother-in-law spent on that rotten girl every year, which was certainly going to reduce her own inheritance when the assets were divided amongst the siblings!

Li Chunhua was heartbroken to contemplate how her money was hemorrhaging.

What karmic debt did she accrue in her past life to have given birth to this heaven-forsaken little debt collector?!

Zhou Zhaodi watched Chunhua, her face a flurry of contempt, pity, and regret, each emotion more vivid than the last, just like a rapid sequence of masks changed by a theatrical performer.

It was so engrossing it made him wish he had some melon seeds to snack on.

Regrettably, once Li Chunhua noticed Zhaodi’s amusement, she put on a long-face and went inside.

"Hmph!"

Zhou Zhaodi, still with regret, saw Zhao Mei walking out of the kitchen with a guilt-ridden face. He quirked an eyebrow at her and called out, "Sister-in-law."

Caught by surprise, Zhao Mei instinctively covered her pocket and stammered, "Wh-what is it?"

Zhou Zhaodi deliberately looked at her pocket and said," Nothing, I was just wondering if you’re going to take a bath tonight. If you’re not, I’m going to."

Zhao Mei’s guilt flared up and with a flicker in her eyes, she stammered, "No, I’m not bathing tonight. You go ahead, sister."

After that, she hung her head low and retreated to the house as if a ghost was chasing after her.

Zhou Zhaodi didn’t stop her and thought to herself, "This household is becoming more and more interesting. There are definitely lively days ahead!"

In the house, Chen Erni was still sobbing while sniffling. Dani was trying to console her with half of a sweet potato cake, "Erni, don’t cry. You don’t want to ruin your eyes."

It came from the food she saved for herself.

Zhao Mei stepped over quickly, taking out the roasted sweet potato from her pocket, "My darling, mom baked a sweet potato for you."

The small sweet potato was even smaller than her palm.

Dani was extremely surprised.

Her mother, always an honest and upright person, had actually stolen a sweet potato for Erni, and even roasted it in the stove!

Upon seeing it, Chen Erni sobbed even more, "Mom, I want to eat red braised fish!"

She only ate two bites of such a delicious red braised fish!

Zhao Mei said with a troubled expression, "But the red braised fish is all eaten up."

Chen Erni then sobbed, "Then... then I want to eat wild boar meat."

Zhao Mei became even more troubled: "The wild boar meat has been locked up in the cupboard by your grandmother."

Even if she had the courage, she wouldn’t dare to steal such a valuable thing as meat.

As for stealing a small sweet potato, she had been so nervous that her palms were sweating.

Chen Erni, of course, knew that all the food was locked in the cupboard by her grandmother, but she still wanted to eat!

It was rare for her to be able to eat meat freely, but before she had enough, she was punished with a day without meals.

The remaining wild boar meat would definitely be finished tomorrow, and she wouldn’t get to eat any of it!

Thinking about this, Erni burst into tears, "Mom, I’m also grandma’s granddaughter, but why is she so hard-hearted towards me?"

Listening to her daughter’s crying, Zhao Mei’s heart ached immensely.

However, the household was ruled by her in-laws, and it was appropriate to punish Erni for wasting food.

She had no choice but to teach her daughter, "You must never waste food again."

After that, she put a hot roasted sweet potato in Erni’s hand, "Eat this now. Tomorrow, I’ll secretly save some pieces of meat for you."

Dani also said, "I’ll save some for you too."

They didn’t dare to save too much, afraid of being discovered by the grandmother.

What could Chen Erni do?

All she could do was accept the roasted sweet potato indignantly, peeling it open to eat the golden-yellow, soft, and sweet potato flesh inside.
