Rebirth: Slice-of-life Cultivation Chapter 1872 1033: Restraining You (Part 2)

Xue Chuchu could only cook silently. After blanching, she used a colander to scoop out the chicken feet and got ready to dump the water.

Hua Fengmei noticed her arms tremble slightly as she carried the pot, and immediately reached out to take it, effortlessly carrying it to the sink.

Xue Chuchu originally thought she had grown up, but now she realized her mom's strength was still much greater than hers.

She smiled gently, shedding her cool demeanor, with a hint of sweetness: "Mom, how are your hands so steady?"

Hua Fengmei was going to say that being her mom, she had eaten more salt than Chuchu had rice...

Who knew, before she could speak, Jiang Ning said, "Why are your hands steady? Because they support a family."

These words made Hua Fengmei's heart blossom. All these years as a widow, raising a beautiful daughter; the saying 'cherishing a jade brings trouble' fit her, and nobody knew how much hardship she endured to raise her daughter.

It was her hard work that supported this family!

Hua Fengmei looked at Jiang Ning with an appreciative gaze as if looking at a son-in-law.

Then she glanced around and noticed only one chicken feet dish, so she said: "Why just one dish, let me cook..."

Then she remembered she was in a hurry to go home and couldn't cook personally.

Hua Fengmei turned to her daughter and instructed: "Later, stir-fry two more dishes, make some orange juice coconut milk, and chop some fruit for Jiang Ning."

Xue Chuchu's sweet smile froze.

Before leaving, Hua Fengmei took some ingredients from the fridge, like shrimp, yellow croaker, and winter melon, asking Chuchu to serve Jiang Ning.

What else could Xue Chuchu say? She wasn't like Tongtong; she understood her mom's hardships, so she always listened to her mom.

Since these dishes took time, Xue Chuchu was worried he'd wait too long and get hungry, so she deboned the chicken feet and made some lemon chicken claws for him first.

Compared to the internet-famous grandma tooth-deboning method, Xue Chuchu's hand-stripping chicken feet clearly allowed Jiang Ning to enjoy them calmly.

...

Xue Yuantong finished two rounds of the game and suddenly realized the sky outside had turned dark.

"It's gotta be me. When I appear in the gaming arena, the whole sky turns dark for me!" Xue Yuantong boasted.

Unfortunately, she didn't hear Jiang Ning's mocking voice.

Suddenly she looked back, and that person wasn't there.

Xue Yuantong snorted coldly, left the room, and went straight to Chuchu's house to the east. Why she headed straight there might be instinct!

She rushed to the kitchen door and saw the disastrous scene inside, she was furious, then accused: "Jiang Ning, you're secretly eating behind my back!"

"And you, Chuchu, I trusted you so much!"

She felt so sad, believing the whole world had betrayed her.

Jiang Ning held up the plate: "Stop talking, hurry and eat."

Xue Yuantong sat down wide-legged, letting them off this time: "Next time, don't do it."

Jiang Ning picked up his phone and received a message from Chen Siyu.

...

At the same time.

The twins were playing with a tablet in the living room, and Mrs. Chen suddenly realized Si Yu was acting strange.

"Why the long face all of a sudden?"

Chen Siyu suddenly asked: "Mom? Am I really useless?"

Chen Siqing: "Yeah, useless~"

After she said that, she realized Jiang Ning wasn't around, and she hurt her cute sister's heart.

So she quickly hugged her sister tightly: "You're definitely not the most useless."

Chen Siyu, too heartbroken, broke free from her sister's embrace and decisively left the house alone, with Chen Siqing quick to chase after her, the two sisters left home one after another.

The cold-eyed Mrs. Chen chuckled. Didn't she understand their intentions? They shamelessly went to find Jiang Ning again!

Chen Siyu took the initiative to call a cab to the river dam, just to learn from Jiang Ning, and shake Tang Fu tomorrow with a successful business venture.

They got off under the crowded river dam and headed straight to the bungalow.

Upon entering, they saw Jiang Ning sitting with Tongtong on one side and Chuchu on the other, having a meal.

Chen Siyu swallowed: "Did we come at a bad time?"

Xue Yuantong, being generous, moved over a bit: "Sit down!"

Chen Siyu was hungry, having rushed over without eating, she drank a sip of pumpkin rice soup, and sweetness filled her heart.

She proactively said: "Jiang Ning, after eating, can you take us to the river dam to learn some money-making skills?"

"Teach me, my sister and I will do anything."

Xue Chuchu quietly ate, Jiang Ning was indeed good at making money, earning one hundred eighty thousand in just half an hour... One hundred eighty thousand, leaving Xue Chuchu bewildered.

Except she'd rather Jiang Ning earned less of such money.

Only she, who experienced it firsthand, understood the lurking danger, and she hoped he wouldn't continue, it was very dangerous.

If an accident happened one day, Tongtong would surely be heartbroken...

Also, herself...

Xue Yuantong didn't care about these things, she kept a straight face like a master, no longer interested in earning money, only reminiscing the simple days of eating snacks with Jiang Ning.

"I heard you were cheated out of eighty yuan with your business last time?" Xue Yuantong posed as a Jianghu leader.

"Yeah, that person was awful!" Chen Siyu wished for a full refund.

Xue Yuantong tapped the chopsticks: "Do you still remember the face?"

"Remember."

Xue Yuantong: "Ahem, lead the way then, today we'll help you regain it."

That said, she stood up from the stool, hands behind her back, like a boss helping her subordinates.

Chen Siyu and Chen Siqing looked at each other, they didn't know where that person was now!

Jiang Ning looked at the petite Tongtong, coughed twice, and said: "What are you standing around for?"

The twins startled, they realized a complaint was all they accomplished.

Xue Chuchu's sparkling eyes flickered with ripples, was Jiang Ning about to risk himself again?

Unexpectedly, Jiang Ning solemnly said: "Alright, watch your steps, don't step on Tongtong."

Xue Chuchu was stunned, then her mouth curved slightly, feeling not so good, she quickly straightened it back.

Jiang Ning pointed out: "Enough, Chuchu stop smiling, go get a bowl of coconut milk for Tongtong."

Xue Yuantong lost face, standing on the stool and swearing: "Someday, I'll be taller than the tallest giraffe in the zoo."

Jiang Ning: "Here's some trivia, giraffes are born at one meter sixty, likely taller than you'll ever be."

The atmosphere was stiflingly dreadful.

Xue Chuchu intended to comfort: 'After all, being short isn't a bad thing.'

But decided against it.

Xue Chuchu talked about a book she recently read, saying: "Being tall isn't always good either. Recently I've been reading Dream of the Red Chamber, watched the drama, where someone was too tall to play Jia Baoyu, missing an opportunity."

Xue Yuantong's desolate soul found solace in her best sister.

'Hate Jiang Ning to death!' She turned away, refusing to look at him.

Chen Siyu picked up the topic, speaking like a tough leader: "Jia Baoyu is such a wuss!"

Chen Siqing: "Yep, a wuss, life was too good."

Xue Yuantong agreed: "Indeed a bit."

Of course, naive Xue Yuantong knew that despite having such a noble status, not being wicked was already good.

Chen Siyu suddenly posed a question: "Do you think if Jia Baoyu experiences earning hardships, he might change?"

Xue Chuchu, having read many books, denied it: "No, he is who he is, instead of making him suffer, it might be better to have a girl he likes enough to manage him, stopping him from being idle."

At this point, she unknowingly glanced at Jiang Ning.

Perhaps even she didn't know, Jiang Ning too was an unruly person in her heart.

Chen Siyu's theory was overturned by wise Chuchu.

Though Xue Chuchu was beautiful, she only exuded comfort, even more so than Bai Yuxia.

Insightful sister Chen Siqing added: "Sis, you're too blunt, rules don't apply to everyone."

Chen Siyu took a sip of pumpkin soup, waved her hand: "Forget it, compared to Dream of the Red Chamber, I'm actually better versed in hero-laden Three Kingdoms."

"For instance, I know Cao Pi a bit, feel free to ask questions!"

Jiang Ning marveled: 'You're becoming more and more out of hand!'
