Chapter 294: Doesn’t Like It
It was soon time for dinner. Recently, because Chen Li was in confinement, the food at home is generally prepared by Yun Qiao, while Yun Shan would occasionally lend some help.
The people who buy vegetables are Yun Xi and Yun Yang. In fact, since moving to the county town, Yun Shan’s family’s food had improved a lot. Recently, Chen Li was also taking care of her health, so the food they had was even better.
Yun Xi now ran three stores, so she could afford the money for the food. Therefore, the food in Yun Shan’s family had two meat dishes almost every day. It was either chicken, duck, fish, or some processed meatb.a.l.l.s and other seafood.
However, in the eyes of the Old master, these things made her feel a little uncomfortable.
“Why is your cooking so wasteful? This isn’t a festival. Why are you cooking so much meat? Won’t the family’s money be all gone if you eat like this?!”
!!
After the Old Master said that, everyone’s mood turned bad after a good meal.
Old Master Yun saw that everyone’s expressions were not good. She was a little embarra.s.sed, but she could not control her blabbering. She could not help but mutter, “I know you’re working in a pharmacy now, and you earn a lot more money than before. However, we’ll always need money in life. For example, how much money will your father use to buy medicine this time when he’s sick? You still have to save your money, don’t waste it on the dining table.”
Old Madam Yun’s words made everyone speechless.
“Grandma, we ate well these days because mommy had a miscarriage. Sister loves mommy so much that she bought so much delicious food.”
Yun Yang started to defend the Yun Shan couple.
“Wasn’t it just a miscarriage? Who had a daughter-in-law that was so expensive in the past? At most, they’ll just have two extra eggs. In the past, when you gave birth to Yun Yang, you did not even eat that many supplements. This time, having a miscarriage became even more expensive. You should save up all the money you have for this confinement period to buy medicine for your father.”
After giving birth to Yun Yang, not being able to be in confinement for a month had always been a pain in the hearts of the couple. Now that the Old Madam had mentioned it so casually, Yun Shan’s heart began to feel bad.
“Mom, eat some of this fish! I bought it today because it’s the freshest fish that has been caught.”
Yun Shan could not argue with the Old Madam, so he could only find another topic to cover it up. He gently patted Chen Li’s hand secretly.
Chen Li felt a little wronged, but she could only bear it silently.
After the Old Madam said not to waste so much money on fish and meat, the whole table became awkward and did not dare to move their chopsticks. However, the Old Madam was the only one who acted as if nothing had happened and ate the most.
Due to his current illness, Old Master Yun could not eat seafood and overly greasy food. Yun Qiao thoughtfully cooked milk and millet congee for the Old Master. Usually, he and Yun Shan would go to the room to feed the Old Master whenever they had free time.
Now that the Old Madam had come, she took over the job of feeding the Old Master.
“Don’t keep nagging on the children. We are all half-dead people now. How other people live their lives is their business. We are so old. If we talk too much, we will be disliked.”
In the bedroom, the Old Master heard the words of these people clearly. When there was no one else, he took the opportunity to educate the Old Madam, telling her not to say whatever she had in her heart.
“Hmph! Am I wrong? You old man, you’re just covering up for your own shortcomings. What did I say? Wasn’t it because I wanted them to save money to treat your illness? The days of these descendants enjoying their lives are still in the future. There aren’t any festivals right now, and they just sit on the table every day with fish and meat. As an elder, can’t I even say a few words about them?”
When the Old Madam heard her husband say this about her, she was extremely unhappy. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one else in the master bedroom, she also grumbled a few words.
Seeing his wife like this, Old Master Yun could not be bothered to argue with her anymore. He just shook his head and ignored her.
Some people were born with their thoughts, and it was not something that could be changed with just a few words from others.
“Grandpa, come and drink today’s tonic.”
Yun Qiao carried a gla.s.s cup into the room.
The cup looked like a cup of milk, but it was actually a cup of milk with added ingredients.
At that time, Doctor Lu said that he would prescribe some ginseng, Ganoderma, and Cordyceps Sinensis for the old man to replenish his health. However, each of the medicinal herbs in this cup was very expensive.
Yun Shan’s family was afraid that they would burden the Old Master, so they only said that they would prescribe some simple medicinal soup. They did not say that they would add these expensive Chinese herbs for him.
