Chapter 36: Start Causing Trouble

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Han Jiangxue finished stir-frying the bamboo shoots in no time. Seeing that there was still some rice left from yesterday, she cooked a small pot of porridge as well.

Shen Yibo could eat the bamboo shoots, while she only needed some porridge.

After the porridge and bamboo shoots were done, she brought the food into the courtyard. Shen Yibo was already starving, so when he saw the bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat, his chubby face bloomed as he thanked her, “Thank you, Mommy!”

“You’re welcome. Hurry up and eat, son.”

Han Jiangxue scooped two bowls of porridge, one for her and one for Baby Yibo.

Seeing that the porridge was a little hot, Shen Yibo started eating the stir-fried meat with bamboo shoots first. The meat was really fragrant, but the bamboo shoots seemed to have a strange taste. However, to a glutton like him, it was still acceptable.

[Seeing Baby Yibo eating the meat so happily, I’m really worried for him! I hope he doesn’t have a stomachache again.]

[Is the previous commenter a fan of Ye Jianjian? What are you talking about? Are you trying to stir up trouble? How would Xiao Xue harm her own baby?]

Lin Qianqian usually liked to eat vegetables, so stir-frying bamboo shoots was not a problem for her. She knew that the bamboo shoots had to be blanched first so that they would not taste strange. As such, she easily made a dish of stir-fried bamboo shoots.

However, they did not have any staple food, so when she brought the stir-fried bamboo shoots to the dining table, Ye Zhenzhen gave her a bowl of noodle soup and two poached eggs, which solved her and Xiaoyu’s breakfast problem.

Lin Qianqian felt that from last night till this morning, all that Ye Zhenzhen did for her and her daughter was undoubtedly a timely help.

Everyone in the variety show wanted to gain more attention, but she could feel that Ye Zhenzhen really wanted to help them.

In her heart, all the rumors about Ye Zhenzhen were overturned. At the same time, she was very grateful to Ye Zhenzhen and her son.

[I have been watching Ye Zhenzhen for the past two days. I really think that she is very nice!]

[Tsk! Who doesn’t know how to put on an act!]

[Anti-fans, don’t be brainless. If you’re so great, you should do the same.]

In comparison, Wu Yuerou was in a much worse state. She didn’t know how to cook bamboo shoots, and there wasn’t much rice left. She only managed to make some plain congee. As far as the eye could see, the bowl of congee was so shabby that one could almost count the number of rice grains in it.

There were no ingredients for the stir-fried bamboo shoots, so she decided to give it a try since there was nothing else she could do. She simply cut them up and threw them into the pot, then added some seasonings casually. In the end, when she plated and tasted them, she wondered if it was her imagination, but there seemed to be a strange taste lingering in her throat.

Wu Yuerou sighed. This was as much as she could do. They could only make do with it.

At the dining table, An Ruilin took a sip of Wu Yuerou’s porridge and spat it out.

“Ah! This porridge is so bitter. I don’t want to drink it, I don’t want to drink it.”

Wu Yuerou sighed in her heart when she saw her son making a scene. She couldn’t even eat the porridge herself, let alone Baby Ruilin.

However, there was really nothing to eat now. She could only brace herself and comfort her son.

“Ruilin, be good. We only have this for breakfast. Have some porridge first. Mommy will make you something delicious in the afternoon, okay?”

“No, no! This tastes terrible!”

An Ruilin turned his head and saw the poached egg in Song Yuchen’s bowl. His eyes lit up and he pointed at the latter’s bowl and shouted, “I want to eat Baby Chen’s poached egg!”

Song Yuchen held his chopsticks with his small hands. Without even looking up, he picked up the poached egg in his bowl and took a bite. Then, he picked up a chopstick of noodles and took a bite. After that, he realized that there was another poached egg at the bottom of the bowl.

An Ruilin was about to burst into tears when he stared at the poached egg in Song Yuchen’s bowl as he shouted, “I want to eat that!”

Song Yuchen still did not speak. Instead, he repeated the same action as before. He picked up the new poached egg and took a bite, then ate a mouthful of noodles.

An Ruilin was in complete despair. He began to wail again!

In his mind, if he encountered a problem that he couldn’t solve, wailing would solve it.

Song Yuchen did not even look at An Ruilin. He continued to eat his poached eggs and noodles slowly, his little head automatically blocking out the noise beside him.

He was immersed in the joy of his mother’s cooking.

If An Ruilin had not snatched Fang Xiaoyu’s room last night, he would have given him the poached egg in his bowl. After all, Mommy had said that everyone should get along well.

However, An Ruilin was too despicable. He had snatched Fang Xiaoyu’s room and even made her cry. As such, Song Yuchen did not want to give the poached egg to the other party.

Ye Zhenzhen ate more than half of the noodles in her bowl. She did not want to share the noodles, nor had she ever thought of doing so. She decided to turn a blind eye to Baby Chen’s decision to not share the poached eggs with An RUilin.

After all, she couldn’t bring herself to like Wu Yuerou and her son. It was really shameful that they had snatched someone else’s room last night.

On the other hand, Wu Yuerou wanted to argue with Ye Zhenzhen again, but she remembered that she had never won in the past few days. As such, she ultimately didn’t say anything. After all, she was the one who made the terrible food.

The only ones who still had a lot of food on the dining table were Xu Wanjia and her daughter. Xu Wanjia also cooked noodles with eggs and vegetables in the morning, but because Baby Yiyi could not take food that was too hot, Xu Wanjia placed the noodles in a big bowl before taking some into a small bowl for Baby Yiyi to eat.

Seeing that An Ruilin didn’t eat any of Wu Yuerou’s porridge and thinking that she had some interactions with the latter, Xu Wanjia took a bowl of noodles and silently gave it to An Ruilin.

With that, Baby Ruilin who now had egg noodles was quite proud. He felt that crying was indeed more effective.

Han Jiangxue glanced at Ye Zhenzhen, who had already finished her noodles, and wondered why she was still there.

Logically speaking, Ye Zhenzhen should have disappeared from the courtyard since she had taken the initiative to sell oranges during the live broadcast. Plus, she had been called to the side by Xiao Wen.

Han Jiangxue finished the remaining porridge in her bowl and saw that there were oranges on the dining table. She took an orange and looked at Ye Zhenzhen before asking casually, “Zhenzhen, I heard from Sister Jiajia yesterday that you were selling oranges during the live broadcast. Was it the oranges of the old lady who set up the stall at the market? There was a little girl next to her.”

Ye Zhenzhen wiped the soup off Baby Chen’s face with a tissue. She did not even look up as she replied softly,” Yes, that’s right.”

She could not understand why Han Jiangxue would pretend to be on good terms with her despite her hatred for her.

Moreover, she didn’t even need to think to know that the other party had come with ill intentions and was here to stir up trouble.

Seeing that Ye Zhenzhen’s reply was very perfunctory, Han Jiangxue felt that the other party was probably unwilling to talk about the live broadcast. It was most likely because the process of selling oranges yesterday did not go well.

After all, Ye Zhenzhen had a bad reputation on the internet. If she sold oranges during a live broadcast while participating in a variety show with her stepson, the netizens would doubt that all of it was just a show.

She could roughly imagine how the netizens would criticize Ye Zhenzhen.

The more she thought about it, the more excited Han Jiangxue became. However, she still pretended to be curious and continued, “Sigh, their basket of oranges looked quite big. It’s quite impressive that you can sell them all in one day.”

Ye Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Han Jiangxue, who was smiling.

“My mother didn’t just sell a basket of oranges, but an entire orchard’s worth of oranges!” Song Yuchen’s voice was filled with excitement and pride.
