Chapter 70 - 069: Shortness of Breath (Midnight)
Bai Xue saw that she directly turned the conversation this way, completely disregarding her earlier scolding, so she cooled her face. Ye Qian quickly tugged at her mother’s sleeve, and only then did Bai Xue refrain from speaking further.
"Early in the morning, preparing breakfast is already tight on time, and I still have to make medicinal soup for your sister. Where do I have the time to make lunch for you to take? If you want to take food with you, make it yourself." In Bai Xue’s impression, this eldest daughter was not the type to cook.
Not to mention cooking, she was also spoiled by her grandmother and didn’t do any chores.
Her saying this was meant to make things difficult for the eldest daughter. Either make it yourself or come back to eat; there was no outright refusal, but the problem was pushed back to her.
Ye Ling smiled, "Then I’ll make it myself."
Bai Xue didn’t respond, internally dismissive, as she led her younger daughter to wash their hands. After sitting down, she personally handed the chopsticks to her younger daughter before picking up her own to eat.
Ye Qian ate slowly, exuding elegance. In contrast, Ye Ling was much more unruly, eating large bites with her mouth full, while Ye Qian took small bites, not eating much with each, chewing slowly and thoroughly. Bai Xue glanced at them and didn’t wish to watch her eldest daughter eat further, only feeling embarrassed.
Ye Ling ate quickly and finished first. Ye Qian was only halfway through her bowl of rice when Ye Ling had already finished, wiped her mouth, and left, saying she was leaving.
Only when the door closed did Bai Xue sigh and put down her bowl, "I don’t know when this kind of life will end."
It won’t be peaceful at home until someone gets married off.
