Chapter 123: This Is So Infuriating

After finishing talking about the matters, it was already time to go to work, but the Lyu Family’s kitchen was still cold and unused. Mr. Lyu awkwardly said, "I’m really sorry, we were so caught up in talking that we forgot about lunch."

Mr. Lyu indeed forgot that today Lyu Xiangyang and his siblings sensed the atmosphere was off and didn’t dare to come back for food. Instead, they slipped over to the Tian Family next door for a meal.

The Yao Family couldn’t say anything and could only go back to work hungry, cursing the Lyu Family repeatedly in their hearts.

Lyu Juncheng, seeing the issue was resolved, said, "Dad, I only took the morning off, I’ll head to work now. If there’s anything, we’ll talk about it when I get back."

Mr. Lyu waved his hand, "Go quickly, don’t let it affect your work."

Granny Lyu sighed heavily, "Giving up the workshop director position just like that, it’s really infuriating."

While speaking, she gave Yao Hui a hard stare and muttered under her breath, "Really a jinx."

Seeing Lyu Juncheng leave, Yao Hui quickly said, "Mom, Dad, Big Brother, you must be hungry too. I’ll go cook."

She originally thought about buying some food from the cafeteria, but at this time, there might not be much left, and she was also afraid her mother-in-law would pick a fight, so she had to cook in the kitchen herself.

Lyu Dacheng, seeing Yao Hui leave, whispered, "Mom, when Third comes back tonight, we need to mention to him about sending more money home each month.

For the debt to the Yu Family, have him send five more bucks each month. We have to watch out for that woman; she doesn’t seem good to me. We always have to plan for Xiangyang and the others."

Granny Lyu thought there was truth in this.

Anyway, the family hasn’t split up yet, so save more. When the family does split, the portion for the third branch will be kept for Xiangyang and the others, providing them some security.

She nodded towards her eldest son, "Okay, I’ll remember this. We’ll tell Jun Cheng when he comes back tonight."

Meanwhile, after He Jinxuan left, Yu Xinyan first cut out Ye Silai’s clothes and then got busy in the kitchen.

First, she started stewing the fish, then she deboned the leftover grass carps, minced the meat, added egg whites, starch, salt, and scallion-ginger water, and then mixed it twice for future use.

She called out to Ye Silai, who was happily playing in the yard, "Silai, help Sister buy a block of tofu."

Ye Lisi received the order and ran over, "Sister, buying tofu for fish soup?"

Yu Xinyan reached out and tapped his little nose, "Today Sister will make fried tofu balls for you, guaranteed to satisfy you."

Little Siyan ran over, "Sister, aren’t you making fish balls anymore?"

Yu Xinyan laughed, "You really are a little foodie."

She couldn’t help but pinch his ear, teasing, "You even have a keen ear."

Little Siyan was quite anxious, "Sister, so are you making fish balls or not?"

With such a little foodie brother, even Ye Silai felt like covering his face, "Didn’t you see Sister already chopped the meat? Sister mentioned your keen ear; you only heard about the fish balls, didn’t hear her chopping the fish meat?"

Little Siyan stretched his neck to look at the cutting board, "Where?"

Ye Silai rolled his eyes, pointed to the bowl on the cutting board, then patted his brother’s head, "Alright, I’m not going to tell you. When you grow a bit taller, you’ll be able to see it."

Yu Xinyan went into the house to get money and a ticket, then handed a small basin to Ye Silai, "Hurry back."

The grocery store is not far from the alley. The Miao Family is building a house at the corner ahead; if something happens, the masons on the scaffolding can see everything clearly, so she’s not worried.
