Chapter 781: 202: Direct confrontation, what is her name? _4 Chapter 781: 202: Direct confrontation, what is her name? _4 She felt wronged.

Even on the verge of tears.

But she kept them at bay.

She’s the elder sister!

She mustn’t cry!

Wu Yanyun took a deep breath. After composing herself, she finally stepped into the room.

At dinner, her father Wu Jinshu noticed something was amiss, “Xiaoyun, why are you eating so little today?”

Wu Yanyun laughed and replied, “I was making pancakes in the afternoon, and my stomach was grumbling, so I ate a couple atop, and now I can’t eat any more.”

Wu Jinshu said, “It’s been hours since the afternoon, shouldn’t you be hungry by now?”

“Dad, I’m not hungry, do you think I’m a fool who doesn’t know to eat when hungry?” Wu Yanyun responded.

Then Yan Erju chimed in, “Xiaoyun, you must eat. Even though we are poor, we still have money to afford food.”

Wu Yanyun laughed, “Mom, where is your mind wandering off to?”

Seeing that she’d indeed had enough, her parents said no more about it.

After dinner, Wu Yanyun started the dishes and cleaning.

Wu Erlong hurried over to help, “Sister, let me dry the dishes for you.”

Wu Yanyun said, “Thank you, Erlong.”

Just then, a voice came from outside the kitchen, “Dalong, Erlong, come over here!”

“Grandma is calling me, I’ll go first.” Wu Erlong put down the dish.

“Go ahead.” Off the brothers went into Grandma’s tiny room.

“Grandma, what do you need us for?” Wu Dalong asked.

Grandma stealthily brought out a greasy package from behind her, “See what this is!”

On realizing the package contained three lard pancakes, Wu Dalong exclaimed excitedly, “Ah! Lard…..”

Grandma quickly shushed him, “Why are you yelling? Do you want to bring everyone here?”

Wu Dalong nodded.

With so many mouths to feed, would there be enough to go around?

Wu Dalong nodded again.

Grandma doled out a pancake each to Wu Dalong and Wu Erlong.

Left one for Wu Jinshu.

Given Wu Jinshu’s poor health, it would be a good fortifier.

These three pancakes were sent by Grandma Wu’s daughter earlier in the day. She saved them until now, waiting for Jinshu to return so that she could give them to the children.

Knowing Dalong’s nature, Erlong didn’t refuse. He stuffed the pancake into his pocket, “Thank you, Grandma.”

“Silly child, why be polite with your grandma? Just remember to hide it from others.” Grandma Wu advised.

“Um.” Wu Erlong nodded in reply.

At bedtime, once Wu Erlong heard his brother snoring, he stealthily crossed over to the other side.

His elder sister was sleeping next door.

The three siblings actually slept in one room, but Jinshu had segregated the room with a curtain in consideration of their genders.

Short on rooms and cash-strapped to rent a larger house, they had to resort to such measures.

It was all pushed by life’s harsh circumstances.

“Elder Sister.” Wu Erlong gently nudged Wu Yanyun.

“What’s wrong, Erlong?” Wu Yanyun rubbed her eyes.

“Elder Sister, I have something for you.” Wu Erlong pressed a tantalizing item into Wu Yanyun’s palm, which instantly made her mouth water, given she hadn’t had her fill at dinner.

“A lard pancake? Where did you get it?” Wu Yanyun asked.

Wu Erlong answered, “Grandma gave it to me secretly. Please eat it quickly, I’ve already had one.” As he finished, he made a beeline for his own bed.

Wu Yanyun’s eyes welled up, barely holding back her tears.

This lard pancake was, in her memory, the most delicious one she’d ever tasted.

Years later, she still remembered this particular night vividly.

Her grandmother subtly hinted to her not to eat too much and to save food, while her little brother presented her with a lard pancake.

There’s no price tag on love.

Wu Yanyun had choked down that pancake with tears in her eyes.

…

Ni Cuihua and Shangguan Dehui moved to the Zheng Family’s house again.

Naturally, Ni Yan went with them.

The Zheng family had been bustling these days with a constant flow of guests.

Whenever Zheng Xianjing passed Ni Yan, she held her head high, extremely proud, even though Ni Yan had no clue what she was so smug about.

In the living room, Zheng Lingling made Zheng Xianjing the center of attention, smilingly saying, “Mom and Dad, I heard there’s a newly opened restaurant in Beijing that’s doing great business. The food is absolutely delicious, and the ambience is excellent as well. The only drawback is the membership card requirement. If you don’t have one, you will have to queue with many others. Those with membership cards, however, will be provided with private rooms…”
