Chapter 93: Chapter 93: Going Fishing in the Afternoon

Wang Pozi forced a smile. “Well, look at how much the child is craving—”

“If he’s craving it, then let him eat!” Xu Shuhua interrupted.

Hearing this, Wang Pozi brightened up. “That’s great! Dabao, hurry up and thank Grandma Yu. She’s inviting you over to eat meat!”

Xu Shuhua shot Wang Pozi a glare. “It’s the middle of the day—what are you daydreaming about? If he wants meat, go home and butcher one of your own chickens!”

As soon as she heard this, Wang Pozi realized she’d misunderstood.

But she didn’t think it was her fault at all—clearly, it was Xu Shuhua’s problem.

“Xu Shuhua, you’re not a kid anymore. Why are you arguing with a child? My Dabao is only two—what does he know? He just wants some meat. How much could he possibly eat? Even if you just save him a bite, that’d be enough!”

Before Xu Shuhua could reply, a group of children burst out from the Yu family’s gate.

Leading the pack, Yu Wei lifted his chin at Wang Pozi. “That’s my grandma! Even if there’s leftover meat, it’s for us brothers to eat. Wang Dabao has his own grandma—why should he come to mine for food?”

It was a simple, straightforward question, but Wang Pozi had no answer.

Why, indeed?

Well, the reason was obvious!

It was because she couldn’t bear to kill her own chickens!

If she killed a chicken, the meat would only last for two meals. But if the chicken stayed alive, she could collect eggs every day!

Wang Pozi might not have gone to school or know much math, but she could figure out this simple calculation.

She put on a stern face and looked at Yu Wei. “I’m talking to your grandma! Grown-ups are speaking—kids shouldn’t butt in!”

Yu Wei wasn’t afraid at all. “Why can’t I butt in? My grandma says you should listen to whoever’s right. If I’m right, you should listen to me! And my grandma’s right too—if your grandson wants chicken, you should go home and kill a chicken for him! My grandma says only beggars ask for other people’s food. You’re not beggars, are you?”

Wang Pozi: “…”

This little brat really takes after Xu Shuhua—his mouth is so sharp, you can’t even get a word in.

After his little speech, Yu Wei tugged at Xu Shuhua’s sleeve. “Grandma, let’s go home and eat! Didn’t you say not to waste your breath on pointless talk?”

Xu Shuhua had been holding back her laughter for a while, but now she couldn’t help it anymore.

“Alright, alright! Let’s go home!” she said, following Yu Wei into the yard. “Wei, didn’t you want to go fishing? When it cools off this afternoon, I’ll have your fourth uncle take you. He’s great at catching fish!”

Xu Shuhua believed that when a child did something good, they should be rewarded—not discouraged.

As soon as he heard he could go fishing, Yu Wei jumped up with excitement.

Yu Nuannuan, who had been dozing off, suddenly snapped awake at the sound of Yu Wei’s voice.

When she realized what he was talking about, her sleepiness vanished instantly.

Fishing! She loved it!

Yu Nuannuan turned to look at Yu Wei and gave him a sweet smile. “Brother, let’s go.”

Yu Wei ran over to Chen Qiaoqin and looked up at the baby in her arms. “Nuanbao, I’m going fishing this afternoon. Tonight, we’ll have Grandma cook it for us!”

Xu Shuhua laughed. “You haven’t even caught anything yet, and you’re already thinking about eating!”

Yu Wei replied confidently, “Don’t worry, Grandma—I’ll definitely catch some!”

Yu Nuannuan grew anxious when she realized Yu Wei hadn’t understood her meaning."
