Chapter 191 - 185 Jiang Jinghuai’s Fury
Tian Sangsang furrowed her thick brows slightly in secret. In the face of a natural disaster, everyone was eating the same food. And she was complaining about it? This person really is...
Perhaps it was because pregnancy had made her irritable, and Lu Chi had just left her moments ago, saying he was busy and told her to find a place herself. Li Qiong’er was in no mood to like anything at the moment, especially when she saw the meek and submissive Tian Sangsang with her dark skin and plump figure. A malicious thought rose in her mind, and she flung the bowl into the air on a whim.
In just that brief moment, Tian Sangsang felt something fall and hit her arm. Right afterward, a liquid flowed out—it was hot, scorching her skin.
"What are you doing?" Tian Sangsang hissed, turning her head. Her arm was burning hot, sizzling like it was being set on fire.
"Oh, I’m sorry, I didn’t see that." Li Qiong’er’s mood improved upon seeing this. Smiling, she asked, "Are you okay?"
Tian Sangsang didn’t pick up on any genuine apology in her words.
The slight curl of Li Qiong’er’s lips was brazenly showing her smugness. In such a miserable place, there was hardly any amusement left. This woman looked honest, clearly a rural peasant—there was no way she’d dare to retaliate. She would probably just swallow her anger and walk away quietly. There were plenty of weak people in this world; Li Qiong’er had seen them all.
If the other person had genuinely apologized, she wouldn’t have pursued it. But it was painfully clear that there was no sincerity.
Suppressing her fury, Tian Sangsang replied with a smile, "It’s fine, but next time, keep your eyes sharp. I’m a simple woman—getting scalded isn’t a big deal. However, the people around us are elderly, frail, or ill; they won’t be able to withstand this kind of chaos."
"Of course," Li Qiong’er nodded with exaggerated politeness, smiling brightly. She said, "My food’s gone, though. Could you get me another bowl?"
"Everyone only gets one bowl," Tian Sangsang stated firmly.
"Oh." Li Qiong’er let out a soft snort, glancing around. "I mean, you’re from the kitchen, aren’t you? It’s not like the higher-ups didn’t send food over, right? Why are you giving people food even pigs wouldn’t touch? But you—look at you—you’re much fatter than everyone else; doesn’t seem like you’re eating pig feed."
