Chapter 1543: Making Trouble without Reason 1
In an instant, Su Meixiang realized that her bragging earlier felt like a joke.
Fubao had no idea that her red woolen coat had sparked jealousy in others. Seeing her mom come to pick her up made her truly happy, and she ran over to her quickly, cheeks flushed. "Mom, you’re here to pick me up, not Uncle Zhu."
"Uncle Zhu is at home cooking, working hard, so I came to pick you and Yanyan up instead." Feng Qingxue reached out to take her daughter’s school bag, and also Ye Yan’s army-green canvas shoulder bag. "Yanyan, hold your sister’s hand, and let’s go home together. Didn’t you both say yesterday that you wanted Uncle Zhu’s lotus root patties? He’s making them for you today."
When it comes to food, Feng Qingxue never cuts corners for her children. She had managed to get some overseas remittance coupons earlier and purchased a lot of grains and oils to bring here, supplementing them with supplies from her hidden stash. This way, the family always had justification for eating fine grains.
"Ah, lotus root patties!" The two children were overjoyed, hand in hand, following Feng Qingxue home.
Only Feng Qingxue had the caution to pick them up every day. Fubao and Ye Yan were always accompanied; whereas, ninety percent of the students headed home on their own. The courtyard was completely safe, and Su Meixiang’s appearance here was purely to show off her new outfit.
Shen Feng swallowed hard and said to his mom, "Mom, I want lotus root patties too, the kind with meat stuffing."
"Want what? You’re always thinking about food! Your dad only earns that meager salary—where would we get the money to buy meat for you?" Her looks couldn’t compare to Feng Qingxue’s, her long-sought woolen coat paled against Lu Tianhui’s, and Su Meixiang felt stifled. She showed no courtesy to her only son, giving him a furious glare before storming ahead alone.
