Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 241: Swinging the Firewood Stick

Originally, Wang Cuihua heard them arguing and wiped her hands, intending to come out and persuade her daughter not to insult her elders.

Even though she didn’t hold much regard for this sister-in-law in her heart, she couldn’t let her daughter ruin her reputation.

But upon hearing Feng Minghua shouting and even calling her children "cheap bastards," Wang Cuihua couldn’t stand it anymore. She grabbed a fire poker and rushed out.

"Feng Minghua, clean up your mouth! Don’t ever come to my house again! I might as well not have that useless older brother! Get out, leave!"

Enraged, Wang Cuihua wielded the fire poker so fiercely that she almost hit Feng Minghua on the head, scaring her into running away, still shouting threats.

"Wang Cuihua, how dare you hit me! Just you wait, your whole family just you wait!"

The long drama came to a close with Feng Minghua’s escape.

Lin Xue helped her mother back into the house and comforted her a bit. Wang Cuihua didn’t have time to feel sad, as the food was still cooking on the stove, and the children hadn’t eaten and were hungry, so she hurried to the kitchen.

Only when the others saw their mother’s demeanor did they relax and feel relieved.

In the afternoon, the little guy Bai Rusheng came over again. He didn’t like playing with the other little ones; instead, he enjoyed teasing the two baby girls and liked sticking by grandma’s side.

Lin Xue took a nap and got up after six. Coming out, she saw the little guy, and suddenly, she kind of liked him. He was pretty sensible compared to his siblings.

Grandma also liked him a bit. Little did she know, the grandma simply loved children, having been deprived of grandchildren for so many years, and now, even with a lot of them, she wasn’t satisfied.

"Big sister, you’re awake?" The little guy, seeing Lin Xue enter, became a bit reserved, greeted her after getting off the ground, and didn’t dare to look around.

Perhaps Lin Xue had scared him before, so the little guy remembered that the big sister was formidable and that he shouldn’t cause trouble or misbehave.

So even though he had come, he didn’t pick up the seeds on the coffee table to eat.

"Mm!" Lin Xue responded and walked towards the two baby girls, who were sitting face-to-face playing with the toys she had bought them.

After teasing them for a while, she noticed the little guy standing still on the ground.

"What’s wrong? Come and sit. Am I that scary?" Lin Xue said a bit awkwardly.

She really didn’t know what attitude to take when dealing with this little guy now.

On one hand, her grandma liked him, and she didn’t dislike him; on the other hand, he was Bai Dahe’s son. When she had just crossed over, Bai Dahe had beaten her father’s head in. Although she got compensated later, she still couldn’t let it go.

Moreover, he was Grandma Bai’s grandson. That hateful old woman had tormented the original host and her mother for over a decade, and the thought of it made her teeth itch with hatred.

But then again, he’s just a child. Aren’t people always saying children are innocent?

Struggling in her heart for a while, she decided, yes! Children are innocent; she could be good to the little guy, given that he recognizes the situation. If he were as peculiar and clueless as his family, then sorry, no matter if grandma likes him or not, this is not a place for him!

Having figured it out, her demeanor became much brighter. She smiled, looking at the nervous little guy.

"Why don’t you have dinner here before going home? Come! Play with the little brother and sister for a while!"

The little guy, seeing the big sister being so kind to him and inviting him to have dinner at home, beamed with happiness, released his tension, and clambered onto the kang with effort.

"Big sister, I can go home for dinner. Grandma said she’d boil an egg for me tonight! I just don’t want to play with the daughter, Sun Lili, that new big uncle’s wife brought. She’s always plotting to bully me; she’s taller, and I can’t beat her! It’s more fun to play with the little brother and sister! I still have to go back to fight for an egg with the new big uncle’s wife tonight!" The little guy, though young, was articulate, and Lin Xue understood him immediately.

"Does your new big aunt eat eggs every day?"

Ha, she didn’t believe that. Knowing Grandma Bai, no way she’d let the daughter-in-law eat eggs, let alone every day.

"Yeah! The new big aunt says she’s pregnant and needs nutrition, so she boils eggs every day and does nothing. She’s always arguing with grandma, making grandma roll her eyes. Then she said she’d give me an egg every day, figuring out how to feed the family’s eggs to me and not to the big aunt!" The little guy innocently recounted everything.

Serves her right! Who knew Grandma Bai would one day be bullied by a daughter-in-law—it’s truly karma.

"No worries, save some room for an egg by going back to eat. Tonight, big sis will make cold noodles, and you can try some!"

The little guy was overjoyed at the big sister’s invitation and eagerly nodded in agreement.

But things didn’t go as planned. Before dinner was ready, Sun Lili came looking for him.

"Ah, Bai Rusheng, I knew you were here!" She exclaimed as soon as she walked in.

Somehow, she’d found out where they lived and tracked them down.

Hearing the noise, Lin Xia, with nothing on hand, and Lin Xue, who was preparing noodles in the kitchen, both ran out.

There, at the door, stood the girl with her hands on her hips, pointing at Bai Rusheng and loudly speaking.

"I’m busy doing chores at home, and you come here to enjoy yourself! Hurry up, come home and feed the chickens! I’m exhausted!"

The little guy, seeing the annoying came to find him, told Bai Xianglan he was heading back and then got off the kang. As he passed Sun Lili, he said,

"I was just about to leave. Grandma’s boiled eggs should be ready now! I’m going home to eat eggs, not feed chickens! Ha-ha!" Then he strode out.

Lin Xue and Lin Xia’s jaws dropped at the sight, finding the little guy kind of cute after all.

Sun Lili glanced around with her wandering eyes, lingering on the coffee table for a while, swallowed her saliva, but didn’t approach, and turned to run out.

Without even saying goodbye, she swiftly followed after the little guy.

Shortly after that, Gangzi’s wife, Wang Xiaoping, came over.

She talked about how guilty she felt for not visiting Wang Cuihua sooner and how Grandma Bai wouldn’t allow it and such.

In the end, she mentioned that birth grace wasn’t as great as being raised, claiming she considered Bai Xianglan her mother-in-law and would take care of her in support.

Wang Xianglan deflected it with a simple, "I have my own son to support me in old age, no need to trouble someone else’s son!"

However, Wang Xiaoping wasn’t deterred, appearing more determined, insisting that bearing a child for Gangzi wasn’t easy and was essential to carrying on the family line.

She said a lot, mainly emphasizing how hard and great she was, crediting herself as a major contributor to Gangzi’s lineage.

But Wang Cuihua countered effortlessly with one sentence.

Wang Cuihua calmly stated, "Sister-in-law, you’re the luckiest among the daughters-in-law as my aunt doesn’t make you work the fields, and personally cares for you. You have eggs to eat every day, unlike in our time, when we not only had to work the fields but also come back to cook and wash clothes! We barely got enough to eat!"

Lin Xue almost applauded her mother for that—what a soft blow! Well played!

From the day they got married, Lin Xue recognized this woman wasn’t up to any good. She wouldn’t want grandma associating with such people.
