Capítulo 1094: Chapter 1094: Might as Well Eat It
Gao Yaozu had already forgotten how many days it had been since he had last seen his own child and wife.
Gao Yaozu thought, even if not for others, for himself, he should persist a bit.
“Dad, my fifth brother is twenty-one, Chengwen is nineteen, and my second brother’s son, Dalong, is already seventeen. Just for the sake of studying, my fifth brother has been delayed. I don’t want to delay my son and nephews anymore. Dad, please let me go, I really don’t want to study anymore, I really don’t have the talent for it…”
“You…” The response to Gao Yaozu was the repeated strikes of a stick from the old man Gao.
The old lady Gao watched in shock from the side. After all, it was her son being beaten like this, her heart and flesh couldn’t help but ache.
However, she didn’t dare to step forward to stop it.
In the end, it was Gao Chengwen who rushed forward, shielding Gao Yaozu for two hits. “Grandpa, please spare my dad, he still needs to study, if he gets hurt, it will surely delay the autumn examinations!”
Only then did the old man Gao stop his hand.
But the reason for him stopping, it was unclear whether it was because he felt sorry for his son or because he was really afraid that hitting him would prevent him from studying and thus delay the autumn examinations.
In the backyard, An Ning had just slit the chicken’s neck when Gao Daniu ran over in shock.
“Second sister, you… you… how could you touch grandma’s chicken?”
Everyone knew that the chickens in the family were the old lady’s treasures.
And not only did An Ning touch them, she even went as far as to slit the chicken’s neck.
“Mother just miscarried, she needs to properly nourish her body.” An Ning replied.
“But… but…” Gao Daniu didn’t know how to put it, but he feared, if the old lady found out that An Ning killed her chicken, a severe beating was inevitable.
But An Ning deliberately teased him, “What, do you feel reluctant to nourish my mother?”
“No no, second sister, don’t misunderstand me, I’m afraid… afraid grandma will find out and won’t spare you!”
“There’s no need for you to worry about that, since you’re not reluctant, you came just in time. Hurry up and help me pluck the chicken feathers, we’ll stew it for soup later.” An Ning grabbed the hen that had been flapping around on the ground and was already drained of blood, and unceremoniously shoved it into Gao Daniu’s arms.
Gao Daniu, holding the hen, went to the kitchen, his mind still in a daze.
He wondered if he was overthinking it, but why did he suddenly feel like his second sister had become a different person?
The feathers were plucked by Gao Daniu, but the chicken soup was prepared by An Ning herself.
An Ning’s cooking skills were still quite good. But when a pot of chicken soup was brought into the room, it astonished everyone in the third household.
Gao Mutou shared the same thought as Gao Daniu, it’s not that he was unwilling to give it to Mistress Yan, but he feared that after eating the chicken, they wouldn’t be able to get past the old lady.
In the end, it was Mistress Yan, lying in bed, who spoke first, “Ningning, bring a bowl to your mother, if they’re not eating, I will.”
It’s just eating one of the Gao family’s chickens, after all. They were the reason she lost a child.
Mistress Yan felt wronged at the moment, why shouldn’t she eat it?
Since the chicken was already stewed, whether she ate it or not, the old lady’s scolding was inevitable. She might as well eat it and at least be fair to her own body!
An Ning quickly handed the freshly served bowl to Mistress Yan, “Mom, eat up.”
Mistress Yan ate the bowl of soup, tears in her eyes, grieving for the child who never had a chance to come into this world, and lamenting over her daughter’s sensibility and the hardships of their fates as mother and daughter.
