Chapter 2064: Chapter 2065: Old Mrs. Zhang Reborn in the ’70s Reforms Ungrateful Children (96)

Granny Jiang waited for a long while, but still didn’t see anyone from the Luo Family coming to pick up the children. It’s almost dinner time now.

It’s not that she’s stingy about food, but every household is tight on food nowadays, even their own family can’t eat enough, so why would anyone feed others?

Even when relatives come over as guests, they either bring food or food coupons; there’s no reason to sponge off and freeload at a relative’s home.

Not to mention, Granny Jiang and the Luo Family are just neighbors. If it weren’t for Widow Luo being in a serious situation this time, she really wouldn’t have taken on this responsibility.

Helplessly, she walked out the door to see if anyone from the Luo Family had come back, and she discovered their lights were on.

"The Luo Family is home now." Granny Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, finally able to send the two children away, or else she won’t be at ease eating dinner.

Wei He happened to be bringing the two children back and noticed Granny Jiang staring at the Luo Family, which seemed odd, "Granny Jiang, why are you staring at the Luo Family?"

"Wei He, you’re heading back, huh? It’s because the two kids are at my place, I was checking if anyone from the Luo Family was home." Granny Jiang briefly explained the situation.

What? Wei He was quite surprised, "Luo Yu didn’t come to pick up the kids?"

What? Granny Jiang looked at Wei He with surprise, "Luo Yu came back a while ago?"

Wei He nodded, "I’ve been back for half an hour." He was aware Widow Luo fell into a cesspit, but he truly didn’t know the specific details.

He stayed home and listened to the background, which resulted in some delay.

Wei He’s explanation really angered Granny Jiang, "I always knew the Luo Family doesn’t have good people."

"Back then, Luo Yu’s wife said that once someone was home, they would immediately come and take the kids." Granny Jiang initially wanted to knock on the Luo Family’s door to inquire about Widow Luo’s condition.

Now she didn’t want to ask at all, she rushed inside and led the two kids, storming to the Luo Family’s door and knocked loudly.

When Luo Yu got home, he found the stove had gone cold, and the kang was chilly, which made him furious.

After working at the fire for a long while, he finally managed to warm the kang enough to lie on it comfortably and drift off to sleep.

The knocking on the door startled him, he turned over to continue resting, figuring his wife or mother would open the door, he surely wouldn’t need to.

Unexpectedly, no one opened the door, and the knocking continued relentlessly, leaving him no choice but to angrily go open it himself.

Just as Luo Yu opened the door, ready to insult whoever was causing a fuss, he saw something being pushed over.

Granny Jiang angrily said, "Luo Yu, you’re really too much. Your wife said that once someone was home, they would immediately come and retrieve the two kids, but you came home and didn’t pick up them up."

After saying this, she didn’t wait for Luo Yu to speak and immediately turned to leave, "By the way, the two kids haven’t eaten dinner yet."

What? They haven’t eaten? Luo Yu furrowed his brows, "Granny Jiang, why didn’t you feed the two kids?"

"I’ve already eaten." Just the task of managing the fire exhausted him greatly, and he had just seen a few leftover steamed buns at home and ate them all.

Now the home’s leftover food was all gone, and surprisingly, the kids hadn’t eaten. What should be done?

Granny Jiang didn’t expect that her goodwill in taking care of the children would lead to Luo Yu saying such a thing. Her temper wasn’t good, so she immediately jumped up and argued with Luo Yu.

Although it was dinner time, and the weather outside was cold, there was excitement to witness, so naturally, everyone came out with their bowls to watch.

Granny Jiang saw everyone coming out, and she recounted the whole cause and effect of the matter, "Really, like mother, like son."

Everyone was stunned. In these days of food shortages, even with relatives, one must be cautious, and the Luo Family’s reputation in the courtyard isn’t great, everyone avoids having financial dealings with them.

Unexpectedly, the Luo Family had an incident, Granny Jiang helped care for the children, and instead of thanking her, Luo Yu accused Granny Jiang of being stingy for not feeding the children.

Everyone criticized Luo Yu for being excessive, and he didn’t foresee that a casual remark would attract so much dissatisfaction.

Luo Yu and Widow Luo were equally selfish, but when it came to arguing, he was far worse, seeing everyone’s agitated expressions, he deftly took the two children into the house and quickly shut the door.

Granny Jiang saw Luo Yu admitting defeat, snorted coldly, "Shouldn’t have helped."

Granny Jiang shot a fierce glare at the Luo Family and turned around to eat.

Seeing that the parties didn’t come back, everyone else also went back inside, the excitement was over, better return to the warmth of home.

Zhang Yu also quickly went back to her kang; she wasn’t surprised at all by Luo Yu’s attitude, he had always been that way, it’s just that before, Widow Luo was front and center, so nobody noticed.

"How did Widow Luo end up falling into the cesspit?" Zhang Yu really couldn’t figure it out.

Widow Luo wasn’t a child, when going to the toilet, she would definitely check for ice, the empty women’s toilet wouldn’t have anyone standing on the ice.

But if ice wasn’t the reason she fell into the pit, then why on earth did she fall in, Zhang Yu was genuinely curious.

There’s definitely something fishy, but unfortunately back then she was busy fishing, missing out on such a big scene, oh well, Zhang Yu sighed helplessly, feeling like she missed quite a bit.

"How could Luo Yu be like this?" Wei Dazhi shook his head, quite helplessly.

"Not surprising, like parents, like children. We were quite alright, look at our three kids." Zhang Yu got riled up just thinking about it.

"If Granny Jiang’s family didn’t need to eat, I reckon Luo Yu never planned on coming for the kids." Zhang Yu said assuredly.

Wei Dazhi wanted to claim it couldn’t be so, but seeing Zhang Yu’s sly expression, he gave in, "Alright, their problem isn’t ours to stress over."

"For New Year’s Eve, make sure the kids come home for dinner, got plans?" With the New Year Eve approaching, Wei Dazhi really wanted to know Zhang Yu’s arrangements.

"How luxurious it will be depends on the dishes they bring," Even without Wei Jiang present, Zhang Yu knows their mindset, which is basically they aren’t thinking about bringing supplies.

"I prepared the New Year goods for them, I know their financial situation to some extent."

"Why is it when I buy New Year’s goods, it’s mine, I have to share it with them when they eat, but theirs is for themselves or their father-in-law?"

"They’ve calculated things right under my nose." Zhang Yu raised her voice, "Not asking for much, every family brings three dishes, we’ll provide two."

"Combined, that’s eight dishes." Zhang Yu had it planned, she got duck and pomfret for the two of them, definitely not meant for the kids.

"Even if they bring back cabbage and radishes, I’m indifferent." As long as they bring something, she’ll accept, everyone eats together regardless.

Ah, Feng Xia was unhappy, having considered bringing vegetables herself, cabbage and radishes are so nice. After hearing things, her face turned sour, none of her options were left open anymore.
