Chapter 137 - 131 Fish Eyes Mixed with Pearls
Tian Manlan moved her mouth, wanting to say that she would move it later, but her nephew, niece, and son were all staring at her coldly. Fearing to anger the children, Tian Manlan dared not speak further and turned back to the kitchen to cook.
Tian Sisi saw Tian Manlan entering the kitchen and felt relieved. Fortunately, it wasn’t beyond redemption.
Tian Xinhua smiled and tugged at Tian Sisi’s hair. Ah Nan was truly cunning, watching Shou Jizu’s frail body, moving those two bundles of firewood must have almost cost him half his life. He Chengsi and Tian Xinhua, being strong, knew that those two bundles weighed at least seventy to eighty pounds indeed almost cost Shou Jizu half his life.
When it was almost time for dinner, Shou Jizu entered with a pale face and unsteady steps. Tian Sisi specifically went out to check; the firewood was indeed all piled in the woodshed, but many small branches and leaves were scattered on the ground and the firewood in the shed was a mess.
"Little uncle-in-law, you didn’t do a proper job, my dad always stacks the firewood neatly without any small branches or leaves on the ground, look what you did, it’s like a dog scrambled through it."
Tian Sisi was unapologetic, anyway, in the eyes of the people in Huangkeng Village, she was just a pampered young lady, unpleasant as she may be.
"Ah Nan, let your uncle-in-law rest a bit, his back is almost broken."
Shou Jizu initially wanted to be lazy, but seeing the several children staring at him coldly, he reluctantly said with a pained expression: "Alright, after dinner, I will clean it up, okay?"
