Transmigrated Into the Vicious Stepmother in a Historical Novel - Chapter 314

“It smells so good. I want to eat meat, I’m hungry too.”

At noon, Xu Yuxia and Old Mrs. Lu had just finished cooking. Jixiang and Ruyi saw that the meal was just a thin, dark porridge that smelled burnt and had little oil or water. Even the steamed buns had a sour taste. How could the two children swallow it?

They cried and shouted for meat, urging Xu Yuxia to ask for some from next door.

Xu Yuxia couldn’t bring herself to do that. She could only eat her steamed bun while smelling the delicious aroma coming from next door.

Why did Lu Ting’s family have meat while they didn’t?

Clearly, Lu Ting was raising five children alone, and Sheng Fei was known to be lazy and gluttonous. Generally speaking, they shouldn’t have so much money. What was going on?

Not only Jixiang and Ruyi, but even Xu Yuxia herself was craving meat. She could only blame Jixiang and Ruyi for being too greedy.

“Eat, eat, eat. We didn’t cook anything at home, yet I’ve made this for you. The bowls are right here, cleaned and ready for you to eat.

You’re acting like starving ghosts. I’ve offered you food, but you refuse to eat. What’s the matter? Do you think my cooking is bad?

If you think my cooking is bad, then go eat next door. Let’s see if Lu Ting and Sheng Fei will give you anything. You keep saying you want to eat, but why should I have to go and ask for you? I’m not going to do that. I can’t lose face.

They simply won’t give you anything, they’re all so stingy that it’s impossible for them to give you anything to eat.

Just eat the steamed buns we have. Didn’t we also make stir-fried vegetables at home? Look, there’s even some bok choy, right? Hurry up and eat, their meat is theirs, and maybe they even stole it!”

Now Xu Yuxia was just like sour grapes because she couldn’t have any. She was saying that the meat they had was stolen simply because she couldn’t get any herself.

She looked at the children and tried to get them to eat their meal without thinking about what they couldn’t have.

What was the point of always wanting what others had?

Jixiang and Ruyi, however, were relentless.

Why did they get to eat meat while she couldn’t? They each tugged at Xu Yuxia’s pants, insisting they had to have meat.

“I can’t. I don’t want to eat what you made, it’s not tasty. I just want to eat meat.

Look, they’re eating meat. I want to eat what they made. I want to eat meat. If you don’t let me have it, you’re abusing me. How can you mistreat a child?

I just want to eat meat. I just want to eat meat, you’re abusing me. If you don’t let me eat, you’re abusing children.

I want to sue you, I want to eat meat. If you don’t let me, I’ll make a scene. I’ll cling to you.

No, I just want to eat meat. Why should they be able to eat while I can’t?”

Jixiang and Ruyi pulled at Xu Yuxia and demanded she go ask for meat. Just then, Lu Jiefang, Lu Jianguo, and Old Mrs. Lu came out and saw Jixiang throwing a tantrum. Xu Yuxia was at a loss, frowning as she looked at Old Mrs. Lu.

“What should we do, Mom and Dad? Jixiang and Ruyia are making a fuss about wanting to eat meat, but our family doesn’t have any.

It’s great that we have so many vegetables to eat, but with this heavy rain, we can’t go out, and we can’t even do any work. I really don’t know what to do. What can we do?”
