Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 233: When One Rises, All Rise

"You damned child, what are you saying? Enough, aunt will go back and call your cousins over here!" Feng Minghua understood that even if Lin Xue was scolding her, she wouldn’t dare retaliate against them.

But the aroma was already in the air, and it smelled so good.

It had been so long since they last had meat, only having car-damaged meat, pure grains even longer. She couldn’t offend these kids; she still wanted to squeeze some more benefits out.

In the end, the whole family of the eldest uncle came over to freeload a meal.

Grandma and Grandpa were probably disappointed with their son and daughter-in-law, possibly not thinking of them anymore, but the grandchildren were still the apple of their eye, always hoping they could have an extra bite.

Lin Xue had anticipated this outcome long ago, so she made more food while cooking. Since the whole family of the eldest uncle came over, they might as well call the second uncle’s family to join in for a meal too.

She wasn’t being kind, just worried that it would be hard for Grandma and Grandpa. In the end, it might cause a fuss about the two old folks being unfair and whatnot—troublesome.

But when she heard Lin Xue mention bringing the second uncle’s family over for dinner, the Eldest Aunt Feng Minghua was a bit unhappy, trying to block it at every turn and not wanting to let it happen.

Finally, her youngest son obediently went to call them over.

The dining table was inexplicably quiet, an uneasy silence, with a few kids madly scrambling for the chicken in the dishes, almost fighting several times.

The eating was chaotic and unsightly. The adults weren’t much better either. Except for the start of the meal when Lin Xue deliberately served a bowl with more pieces of chicken for Grandma and Grandpa, nearly everything else went into the stomachs of the two uncle’s families.

They had three kids, much like Lin Xue’s siblings, the eldest being two years older than Lin Xue.

But watching them snatch meat from here and there on the dining table, eating with oily mouths and hands without wiping, Lin Xue remembered that even when her family was struggling, her little ones wouldn’t lose their composure like this.

Looking back at her little ones sitting there dazed, although each had a bit of heartache, last winter, they were in a more trying situation than these cousins, even going hungry. Luckily, they were fortunate enough to have a competent and loving elder sister.

Grandma and Grandpa, seeing their grandchildren like this, swallowed back their reproaches.

Quickly, they started to share the meat from their bowls with the little ones.

"Grandma, you eat more! We ate chicken last night! Don’t give it to us!" Lin Yun quickly pushed back the chicken Grandma had given over.

"Yes! Grandpa, you take it back too! If you don’t eat it, our effort in bringing it all this way won’t mean a thing! Grandma’s pickles are extra tasty!" Lin Xia also hurriedly pushed back Grandpa’s chopsticks and took a bite of pickles instead.

"Gramps, if cousin doesn’t want it, give it to me!" The eldest son of the Eldest Uncle, Wang Lei, hurriedly extended his chopsticks to grab it over.

"Enough is enough!" Lin Xue said coldly.

This older cousin was two years older than her, almost eighteen, nearly at the age to get married, already tall.

He still had the face to snatch food from the mouths of the elderly. It was really hard for Lin Xue not to speak up.

"Cousin, old folks eating too much meat isn’t good for their stomach. I’m just, hehe, doing it for the good of Gramps and Gran’s health!" Wang Lei said cheekily.

He didn’t feel any embarrassment at all and thought it was quite humorous.

"Haha... really? Kids eating too much meat isn’t good either! Cousin should eat less too! It’s for your own good!" Lin Xue said each word carefully!

"I’m not a kid anymore; I’m already eighteen!" Wang Lei blurted out without thinking.

"Oh, really? Not a kid anymore?" Lin Xue said playfully, suddenly slamming the table and standing up. "If you’re not a kid anymore, how can you bear to snatch meat from elders?"

Her fiery temper couldn’t take it anymore, dealing with these selfish people who didn’t care about their parents but expected to benefit whenever there was something good.

"You... you say that again!" Wang Lei was also hot-tempered and couldn’t stand it, standing up as well.

As he stood up, the little ones all stood up together with angry faces glaring at Wang Lei, even Lin Yun lost his usual gentleness.

Looking at the other two kids from the eldest uncle’s family, they were quickly grabbing meat while the chaos happened.

It was just something unbearable to watch.

"Alright, alright! Leizi, sit down quickly! Your cousin just wanted Gramps and Gran to have more to eat! Don’t start a fight!" Feng Minghua saw her in-laws’ faces darkening and her opinion of her eldest son worsening. She quickly stood up to mediate, even trying to make her son apologize.

She blamed her son in her heart; not even such a delicious meal could shut him up. Didn’t he see the second brother’s family frantically grabbing food?

Then she looked at her other two children and husband, who seemed to be in a contest with the second brother’s family, making her feel a little better.

She couldn’t offend that damned girl, nor could she afford to offend her in-laws.

Her eldest son was eighteen, still hoping the damned girl could help arrange a job for him.

If the couple couldn’t rely on the sister-in-law’s family to get into the factory, they had to flatter the in-laws. It would be best if they could get the third sister-in-law’s job for her son.

This way, getting a bride would be easier and certainly wouldn’t cost much to bring one home.

After all, someone who works in a city factory is very capable! Surely there would be many girls eager to marry her son.

Thinking of this, Feng Minghua pinched her son again. "Leizi, quickly apologize to your cousin! Who gave you the guts to shout at her? This child, it’s been too long since he’s had meat, and he got greedy! Xiao Xue, don’t be like your cousin, don’t be angry! Come, sit down, sit down, Aunt apologizes to you! Really, don’t be mad!"

Saying this, she walked over to carefully sit Lin Xue back down and coaxed the angry little ones to sit down as well.

At this time, Wang Lei already sat down and began eating again, that contempt on his face indescribable.

"Let me tell you! Today you can eat rice and chicken here because you are the son and grandsons of my grandma and grandpa, not because you are our uncles, aunts, cousins, or brothers!" Lin Xue swept her eyes over everyone, that tone and demeanor like a leader made people involuntarily look up to her.

"In the future, whoever is good to Grandma and Grandpa, if I have any good things, I might remember that person! Otherwise, for what you! You! You all did to my mom back then! I, Lin Xue, won’t acknowledge you as relatives!"

Once she finished speaking, she nodded at her younger siblings, ignoring the attempts of the two old folks to stop her, shoved the dishes aside, and left the table.

Today’s meal was destined to be unrestful as she’d anticipated, but she couldn’t care too much. If she didn’t clear things up, these people had no bottom line. If she wanted to still care for Grandma and Grandpa in the future, she had to resolve this as soon as possible; otherwise, Lin Xue would never consider them as uncles and aunts.

If they weren’t good to Grandma and Grandpa, they could forget about getting any benefits from her.

If they could henceforth be filial and care for the elders, then she could let a little bit slip through her fingers, which would be enough to elevate them significantly.

Just consider it spending money to hire them to take care of Grandma and Grandpa, after all. She couldn’t always be around to look after the two elders.
