Chapter 438 - 443 heart, glistening pain 2_1
The ribs were gone, but dinner had to be had, so she, the disliked daughter-in-law, had to show up.
So Lin Xiangwan served a bowl of fruit salad on the table.
The great-grandparents did truly want ribs, so they were quite expectant. However, to their disbelief, the big white porcelain bowl contained a heap of canned fruit.
The old master of the Qin Family reacted quickly, immediately concealing his disappointment and cheerfully said, "This dish is not bad, tastes good. The fruit is soft enough for us old folks to bite!"
Lin Xiangwan shyly smiled, knowing that her grandfather was trying to defuse the tension for her. Her cheeks flushed as she said, "Grandfather, there was a minor hiccup this time. I’ll make the ribs again tomorrow!"
The great-grandmother adjusted her glasses, scrutinized the content of the bowl, and made a snide comment, "Oh, so this is your ribs, where’s the meat, all I see is peaches?"
Lin Xiangwan laughed it off uncomfortably, "Yes, but this fruit salad is delicious too. Eating some fruit after dinner can provide us with needed Vitamin C!"
"Vitamin C, huh? I drink lemon water every day, I think I’ve got enough of that! What I want now is meat, I want ribs!" Great-grandma adamantly declared.
Lin Xiangwan was in a dilemma, her eyebrows knitted together in hardship. "Ahem... The ribs are not ready yet, they will be ready tomorrow!"
The great-grandmother gave her a sideways glance, "What, can’t you make it?"
