Rebirth in Famine: She Thrives by Lucky Space-Chapter 866: Outburst

Jing Chu was very sensitive, and she immediately sensed it, throwing her chopsticks down with a snap.

"We’re not eating yours, we’re eating our own. From now on, we’ll cook for ourselves, we don’t need you, and don’t bother giving us attitude."

Jing Chu’s pretty face turned icy, and she stared straight at Sister-in-law Wu, not leaving her any dignity.

Just like today at the wheat field, when the aunts would joke or say things she didn’t like, Jing Chu could tolerate it, but she couldn’t accept her own family being looked down upon.

Sister-in-law Wu’s face turned completely red. She wanted to say something, but after opening and closing her mouth, she ended up saying nothing.

Guodong put down his chopsticks. "Jing Chu, I’ll cook tomorrow."

"Yes, we don’t need to live under someone’s whims."

Zhao Xiaoli put down her chopsticks, "Jing Chu, what’s wrong?"

"We’re eating our own food, does she think it’s a burden to cook for us? Then we’ll cook on our own from now on."

"Jing Chu, Sister-in-law Wu didn’t mean that."

"Shut up, I’m really surprised by you. We also paid for this house, we’re not living in your home, nor are we taking advantage of you. The good food Aunt Jiang sent includes our share, and Uncle Yang’s stuff, once he returns, I’ll pay for it. If he won’t take the money, I’ll calculate it and find a way to repay you.

You’ve been cooking for us for a few months now, and we’ll give Uncle Yang the wages. From now on, we shouldn’t mix things up."

Zhao Xiaoli felt very helpless. Why is Jing Chu angry again?

She turned her head to look at the flushed Sister-in-law Wu, perplexed by the situation.

"Jing Chu, where did I go wrong? Please don’t be like this."

"You’re not wrong, I just don’t want to interact with you anymore."

"Jing Chu, don’t be like this, tell me what I did wrong and I’ll change."

"No need, we don’t need to share matters anymore." Jing Chu was infuriated; Zhao Xiaoli was always the one holding her back.

Zhao Xiaoqiang put down his chopsticks, looking anxiously at Lv Jingchu.

"Sister Jing Chu."

"It’s not about you."

Jing Chu stood up and left with her and her brother’s bowls and chopsticks.

Zhao Xiaoli pleaded with Guodong. "Guodong, what’s wrong?"

"You don’t even know what’s wrong but you’re still defending others?"

With that, he left too. Sister-in-law Wu’s dissatisfaction with him had been lingering for days. He didn’t want things to get too ugly, so he hadn’t taken it seriously.

Now, his sister refused, and it seemed alright. Fortunately, they still had a spare room next door, it could serve as a kitchen.

Zhao Xiaoli looked at Sister-in-law Wu, "What did you just do?"

"Nothing, nothing, I just felt that Guodong was eating too much."

"He wasn’t eating yours, was he?"

"Well, it’s also yours. I was thinking of you."

"Thinking of me? Fine, when Old Yang returns, you can leave. You can leave tomorrow too."

This was heavy enough; Zhao Xiaoli decided she couldn’t employ Sister-in-law Wu anymore.

Jing Chu already had inner dissatisfaction with her, and now it had escalated into this, making things even worse.

She didn’t like Jing Chu’s personality, thinking women shouldn’t be so stubborn, but others shouldn’t bully her either.

Zhao Xiaoqiang finally relaxed, thinking about what he’d do if Sister Jing Chu ignored him.

"Xiaoli, you can’t do this."

"There’s nothing I can’t do, pack your things and leave. I don’t need you here anymore."

"I was hired by Old Yang." Sister-in-law Wu felt a bit humiliated and angry.

"Ha, I just have the right not to use you anymore. Leave tomorrow." Zhao Xiaoli finished speaking and left, her appetite gone.

The Lv family was like relatives to her, since her parents passed away, she had considered them her closest people.

She remembered the words Old Yang spoke before leaving, right, Jing Chu was the closest person to her, at the wheat field last time and now, Jing Chu must be very disappointed and very sad, right?

Sister-in-law Wu was dumbfounded, she really didn’t mean anything else, she just felt Lv Guodong ate too much. Having endured hardship herself, she was distressed about the food, thinking it’s enough to eat without being too full.

How did it turn out like this? Now she won’t be used anymore. These few months have been blissful, not only eating well but also getting paid. Where else could she find such a job?

Now it’s ended up like this, Sister-in-law Wu genuinely regretted it. She initially had thought of Jing Chu as a future daughter-in-law, but with such a temper, no matter how good she is, it wouldn’t work. Otherwise, in the future, when she grew old, she’d have to live under Jing Chu’s attitude.

Zhao Xiaoqiang finished his bun and left as well.

Sister-in-law Wu, feeling low, cleaned up the table, thinking she should find Zhao Xiaoli later and talk about it; she truly didn’t want to leave.

Zhao Xiaoqiang entered his sister’s room. He saw his sister lying on the bed.

"Xiaoqiang, do you think Jing Chu is truly angry this time? How could I be so foolish to hurt Jing Chu’s feelings again?"

"Sis, why don’t you ever stand by Sister Jing Chu’s side?

If it were me, even if Sister Jing Chu was wrong, I’d stand by her and never let anyone bully her."

"I don’t know, I just don’t want others to think Jing Chu has a short temper."

"You can talk to her privately about that."

"Ah, your brother-in-law said the same thing to me, how did I forget?"

"Sis, we really can’t use Sister-in-law Wu anymore. I’m afraid she might lead you astray."

"Yes, I know, she’ll leave tomorrow, and we’ll go to Jiang Xinyu’s home in a few days, so we don’t need her for now. Also, my health is fine."

"Yes, how dare she criticize Brother Guodong?" Zhao Xiaoqiang was very angry.

Guodong entered his sister’s room, seeing her sitting on the bed, furious.

"Alright, don’t be angry, it’s not worth it."

"Nobody in the world can look down on you." Jing Chu said resolutely.

"Alright, I’m the best brother."

"Of course, I just fear you might be too easygoing and get bullied."

"Won’t happen, when spring arrives, we’ll build a kitchen, and eat ourselves. Don’t be angry, okay?"

"I’m not angry anymore, in a few days we’ll go to Aunt Jiang’s house. We’ll have a few months there."

"Alright, it’s good that you’re not angry."

"Bro, tomorrow we’ll chop wood, I’ll refuse to believe we can’t get by, just the two of us."

"Alright, there’s absolutely no problem with taking leave now."

Guodong comforted his sister for quite a while before going to boil water, preparing hot water for the two of them to wash up.

He encountered Sister-in-law Wu in the kitchen, not even giving her a glance.

Sister-in-law Wu opened her mouth wanting to explain, to apologize, but facing a boy even younger than her son, she really couldn’t bring herself to speak.

The water heated quickly. He hurriedly brought it to his sister, then carried a bucket of hot water to the bathroom for himself.
