Chapter 56 - 055 Larynx-breaking
Eating with oil dripping from her mouth, there’s a wooden bowl on the ground, looks like she plans to pack some to take away.
Aunt Tian wiped her mouth with her sleeve and smacked her lips, her face showing no difficulty at all: "I’m your second aunt, can’t I eat your food? How did you braise these, they’re so delicious. And these mulberries, where did you get them from? I heard you went to the town to sell things today, how much did you make?"
This visit from Aunt Tian was to probe into Tian Sangsang’s financial situation, after all, the family is setting up an arranged marriage for her, planning to sell her and her little brat for a good price. She hadn’t expected no one to be home when she arrived, so she casually rummaged around, hoping to snag some things to take back, and lo and behold! She truly found some good stuff! The mulberries were both sour and sweet, making her feel drunk; pig trotters, chicken legs, all meat, the aroma indescribable, making her feel on cloud nine. She hadn’t eaten meat more than a few times all year, and this time she had the amount for a whole year in one go.
"Eh?" Tian Sangsang exclaimed softly, "Second Aunt, why are you eating that?"
Her hands were all purple, Tian Sangsang looked at Meng Shuyan and lightly scolded: "Yanyan, mom picked mulberries for you to eat yourself, you’re so naughty, learning how mom stores braised food, why did you put that in the jar? Where did you get that water from? I’ve told you so many times, chickens only eat bugs, not mulberries, even if you want to feed your little flower, you can’t soak the bugs in mulberries! Eating that could be fatal, what if someone gets poisoned?!"
"Second Aunt, I’m really sorry, how are you feeling now, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere? Does your stomach hurt? Is your head dizzy? Has your whole body been bitten by something?"
Aunt Tian immediately lost her composure, threw the jar away and stood up, touching her stomach and trembling: "What did you say, what bugs, this is soaked to feed the chickens?"
Tian Sangsang squinted her eyes, watching her sangren wine spill from the jar onto the ground, purple wine spreading everywhere. That was what she had painstakingly brewed!
