Chapter 731: Chapter 731: Here’s a Rebound for You First

"Just take a bite to satisfy your craving; Jingting, retrieve her lunchbox for me!" Suizi ordered while pinching her nose.

The little Luobo behind her was mimicking the same action.

Luoluo’s mouth curved downwards, looking as if she were about to cry.

"Poor grandma, she even eats shit behind our backs..."

Chen Lijun, who initially intended to take a bite with reckless abandon, was about to put the food in her mouth when her granddaughter’s comment caused her stomach to churn, making her retch with her hand over her mouth.

She really couldn’t eat it this time.

"Quickly take it away!" Suizi ordered Yu Jingting to deal with the stinky tofu.

"What a disaster... Is this Heaven’s punishment for not allowing you to eat candy when you were a child, so you’re punishing me like this now that you’ve grown up?"

Chen Lijun managed to suppress her nauseous feelings with difficulty and slumped in her chair, completely dispirited.

Suizi unfeelingly pointed at Luoluo who still looked pitiful.

"The instigator is right here, why don’t you reproach her, give her a few slaps?"

"What does this have to do with the child! It’s all you—who told you to pick locks?!" Chen Lijun wouldn’t dare to reprimand her granddaughter, instead, she called both children over and kissed each one of them.

"Why are you all here? Next time, let Jiaojiao bring Little Luobo over, you and Tiegen don’t need to come."

"Are you a stepmother? Don’t you feel sorry for your own daughter? That good-for-nothing Yu Jingting, he burnt all the food, leaving our family without a meal."

Initially, we thought of mooching a bite at Mom’s place.

Unexpectedly, Mom had locked the doors to secretly eat stinky tofu.

"For this matter, you have to give me some hush money, otherwise, I’ll tell Dad that you, Yu Jingting, and Jiaojiao came to disgust me."

Jiaojiao, who was originally amused, raised her hand in protest.

"Auntie Jun, I’m a good person!"

"If you’re not colluding with Chen Hansui, wouldn’t you have coughed to alert me when she was picking the lock? Look at you, a pretty girl with thick eyebrows and large eyes, how could you betray justice and join the forces of darkness?"

Chen Hansui = Darkness.

Chen Lijun looked at Jiaojiao heartbrokenly, feeling that this child had been led astray by her own daughter.

"Hehe, thank you for complimenting me for being pretty, Auntie Jun." Jiaojiao covered her face, while Little Luobo nodded earnestly.

"That’s right, Auntie is the most beautiful in the world."

"..." The narcissistic girl even had her own supporting team!

"Pregnant woman, you dare to scare us? Before you tell on us to Dad, I’ll fight back first! I’ll tell Dad that you’ve been eating behind his back!"

These words from Suizi were quite threatening, which made Chen Lijun quickly back down.

"It’s not that you can’t eat, but there are many taboos about eating during pregnancy, especially when you’re of advanced age——" The words "still vigorous despite old age" made Chen Lijun glare back fiercely.

"In any case, just restrain yourself a little. After you’ve given birth, you can eat whatever you want. I’ll make some fried pork loin for you, which is healthy and delicious."

Seeing her daughter rolling up her sleeves and going into the kitchen, Chen Lijun finally felt at ease and started to haggle behind her.

"I don’t want tomato sauce, spread some chili sauce for me."

"Auntie, I’m not picky about food." Luoluo looked up at her aunt, seeking praise.

"Our Luoluo is so great——uh." Jiaojiao realized that the picky Auntie Jun had turned to look at her, and quickly added, "Auntie Jun is also very brave, she can eat carrots now! Let’s clap!"

Under their Auntie’s lead, the two children clapped their hands in support of grandma with real enthusiasm.

"Ha, I’m an adult, can I be compared with you little brats?" Chen Lijun regained a bit of face and held her head high.

"Let’s add a dish of fish-flavored shredded pork for you at noon then. Eating more carrots is good for the baby."

"Grandma is so great!" Luoluo exclaimed exaggeratedly.

Chen Lijun’s smile was a bit stiff. Actually, she didn’t always have to be so great...carrots don’t taste good.

The peace in Suizi’s family was restored, and they went back to eating and drinking as if nothing had happened. The Qian family, on the other hand, were unable to eat or drink well because they offended the elderly of the Yu family. Mrs. Qian was scolded harshly by her husband.

Why did they have to offend the elderly of the Yu family?

Mrs. Qian, unable to swallow her pride, sent her son over to apologize the following day.

She thought her son would save face for Jiaojiao as his classmate, but her plan failed.

The entire Yu family was in the backyard, now it was Xiao Pang’s home, and they were welcoming the Yuan family.

"Wenyuan, it’s been so many years. You’re taller than me now, you’ve become a handsome young man. I can’t call you Xiao Pang anymore." Suizi smiled.

In front of her stood a tall young man, who was nearly 180 cm. His face vaguely resembled his childhood features, but he had lost his chubbiness due to growing taller. He was now tall and thin, which made her not recognize him on the street.

"Sister-in-law, you can call me anything." Xiao Pang responded pleasantly, giving off the vibe of a refined young man.

"Only your family would stand for that. If it were someone else, he’d have fought back after being called by his nickname. This kid is naughty indeed, to the point that it’s making me worried sick. He’s always getting into fights—"

"Cough, cough, stop spreading rumors. I’m well-behaved now." Yuan Wenyuan coughed twice, his gaze unintentionally slipped towards Jiaojiao, afraid that she’d get the idea that he was unruly.

"See, he won’t even let me talk about it. It’s no fun when kids grow up, they become different from when they were younger." Yuan’s mother had also recuperated and become more cheerful over the past couple of years.

"But I never expected Xiao Pang could play chess. He was such a hooligan when he was younger, and now he matures into this intellectual. Surprising." Yu Jingting patted Xiao Pang and found this young man was pretty solid with some muscles in his arm.

"Whaddya mean ’hooligan’? You really have a knack for words! He was plump and cute, I remember when I taught him when he was young, he always used to fight with Jiaojiao." Suizi remembered the two children standing on either side of the blackboard, throwing chalk at each other.

It seemed like it only happened yesterday.

And just like that, they’ve grown into young men and women.

"Sister-in-law, I won’t bully Jiaojiao now, I’ll protect her." Yuan Wenyuan deliberately flexed his arm, showing off his muscles developed from playing basketball.

"As if I’m scared of you." Jiaojiao gave him a glance and he immediately put down his arm, no longer boasting.

The two had been exchanging letters intermittently over the years, maintaining their familiarity. They only felt a bit awkward when they first met in person, but quickly found the feeling of playing together from childhood.

"Speaking of which, we were surprised when you two told us two years ago that you wanted to go for college prep in Beijing. His grades weren’t enough, and we were worried about that. Who knew he’d turn around and enroll himself in a youth palace to learn chess, he even managed to show some accomplishment, at least all that rice he’s been eating wasn’t a waste."

Yuan’s father spoke of his son’s changed behavior and achievements with satisfaction on his face.

"Just as well that my father-in-law is also a chess enthusiast, you can play with him more often later. Jiaojiao, show Xiao Pang around, let him familiarize himself with the surroundings." Yu Jingting said.

"We want to go too." Little Luobo had also grown bored staying inside.

"Sure, let’s go together." Jiaojiao led one with each hand.

"Uncle Pang, come on." Luoluo extended her little hand, and the four children left hand in hand.

Suizi looked at this scene and gave a small gasp.
