Chapter 480: Chapter 483: You go rob_1
Having said that, Jiang’s Clan went to pick up the bowl.
Her target was not only the braised pork, but she also didn’t spare the dumplings that Erhu had touched with his chopsticks.
Qiao Duo’er’s mouth gaped open; she only wanted to say that there really were such shameless people in the world!
Sun Erhu was even more embarrassed since the bowl was from his Brother Hong’s house!
What did she mean by taking everything away?
Besides, was Jiang’s Clan really getting the food for Chao Lian?
"Hold on," Qiao Duo’er stopped Jiang’s path.
With a sullen face, Jiang’s Clan said, "What’s it to you if I ask my son-in-law for some food to eat?"
"This is food from my house; how is it not my business? Of course, Chao Lian helped me before, and it’s fine to send her food, but you’re not the one to be taking it back."
As she spoke, Qiao Duo’er took the bowl back from Jiang’s hand—she’d get a thank you from Chao Lian if she delivered it herself.
At the Lin Family’s house, Chao Lian was in her room embroidering her dowry when Qiao Duo’er went directly to find her.
In just a few days, Chao Lian had lost weight significantly.
The flesh she had put on while working at the Tan Family had completely vanished.
There was no need to guess that it must be Jiang’s Clan using the excuse of the bridal couple not seeing each other before marriage to confine Chao Lian at home, making her work and not feeding her enough.
Hmph, it was a good thing she had just stopped Jiang’s Clan.
She definitely didn’t want the food from her home to end up in the stomach of someone as heartless as Jiang’s Clan.
"Chao Lian, eat up," Qiao Duo’er put the bowl and chopsticks in front of Chao Lian.
That dumpling had been eaten by Sun Erhu, but Chao Lian probably wouldn’t mind, right?
Chao Lian quickly said, "Sister Duo’er, I’ve made lunch, and when my dad comes back, we can eat. Please take this to Erhu, he’s alone and surely just making do with something simple."
"It’s for you; eat up. Erhu will come to my house to eat later; I won’t let him go hungry," insisted Qiao Duo’er.
Qiao Duo’er’s attitude was extremely firm, so Chao Lian obediently picked up the chopsticks.
She was a child who had grown accustomed to oppression, following the lead of whoever was more assertive.
Chao Lian had just picked up a dumpling but quickly put it down again, "Sister Duo’er, this is too much; you eat with me. I’ll get another pair of chopsticks."
"Eat more, men like women with more meat on them."
That one that Erhu had eaten, she wouldn’t touch it.
Chao Lian noticed Duo’er’s gaze falling on a certain part of her body and immediately felt so shy that she couldn’t speak, hastily eating her meal instead.
Since she grew up never having enough to eat or proper clothes to wear, that part of her body hadn’t developed well, with only two small protrusions showing. Would Sun Erhu despise her for it later?
While doing laundry by the river, she had overheard people say that a wife with larger breasts was desirable to men.
Well... she might as well eat up now.
And after this meal, she didn’t know where the next one would come from.
Outside the house, Jiang’s was so furious she wanted to scratch the walls.
She had wanted to take the dumplings and meat back for her own son, but she didn’t expect them all to end up in that little wretch’s mouth in the end.
"Mom, I want dumplings, make her stop eating!" Lin Xiaobao tugged at Jiang’s clothes, determined not to give up until he got some.
Jiang’s scolded irritably, "You useless thing, if you want to eat, why don’t you ask for them yourself?"
"I don’t care, you bring them to me!" Lin Xiaobao sat down on the ground and wailed with his mouth wide open.
Jiang’s was already annoyed and became even more exasperated by her son’s nagging, so she gave Lin Xiaobao a couple slaps.
Hearing her brother’s crying, Chao Lian felt a bit of heartache; after all, he was her brother.
Chao Lian weakly said, "Sister Duo’er, should I send some to my brother?"
"His own mother is willing to beat him; why do you care so much? They won’t thank you anyway," Qiao Duo’er held Chao Lian back.
