Translator: Fuyu
Chapter 4 - Transmigrated into a novel (4)
In the past, the original owner's father's older brothers already had their eyes on the house that she had inherited from her father.
Fortunately, the original owner's paternal grandmother had dearly loved her and her sons had some respect for her. Thus, she was able to put a stop to her daughter-in-laws taking the house from her granddaughter while she was alive.
But, before the original owner could start the second year of high school, her grandmother died, and the aunts and uncles couldn't stand the current situation anymore.
They didn't want to raise the original owner through high school. And, they looked at this house with jealous eyes.
These two families each had a house of their own, but they couldn't stand that their niece had a slightly better house than them. And, the house had a big yard.
Besides, no one would mind having an extra house.
The original owner knew this, but this house had a different meaning to her. This house was something that her parents had left behind for her. She would never agree to sell the house.
And so, the original owner had intentionally locked up the house before leaving.
Looking at the current situation, Ye Qing could see that a lock couldn't stop human greed.
Looking at the furnishing, they had probably been living here for several years. She just didn't know which family was currently living here.
Did First Aunt win or did Second Aunt win?
It should probably be First Aunt, right?
Ye Qing maintained her gentle smile and followed her First Aunt inside.
Everyone had different thoughts. They hadn't seen her in nine years. After a round of fake warm greetings, everyone sat down to eat.
Ye Qing didn't mind at all. The important thing was that the food on this table was pretty good.
It seemed that her two uncles’ families had gotten richer.
Ye Qing picked up a piece of fatty pork with her chopsticks, opened her mouth, and took a nibble. There was a wonderful meaty taste.
She contently sighed in her heart. This was much better tastier than takeout.
The woman sitting next to her oldest male cousin looked to be in her twenties. Her face looked a bit portly, and she was wearing a gold bracelet.
The woman had been aiming for that piece of meat too, but Ye Qing had snatched it before her.
She glanced at Ye Qing in dissatisfaction before aiming for the fish next.
At this time, the red-braised fish had been turned over, so the tenderest part of the fish was exposed.
Against the woman’s expectations, Ye Qing stretched out her chopsticks and extremely precisely took a piece of the tender fish.
The woman slammed her chopsticks down on the table.
Everyone at the table looked Ye Qing's way and figured out what happened.
Liu Lan was displeased that Ye Qing had snatched the food that her oldest son's wife wanted to eat.
You have to know that it hadn't been easy for her oldest son's wife to get pregnant. Now that her daughter-in-law was two months into her pregnancy, everything that was delicious was given to her to eat!
Liu Lan said in an odd tone, "Ah Qing, your cousin-in-law recently became pregnant and likes to eat lean meat."
Hearing this, Ye Qing looked at the displeased cousin-in-law with a slightly surprised expression.
The cousin-in-law shot her a glance and subconsciously raised her belly. She proudly raised her chopsticks and wanted to get the last piece of lean meat in the bowl.
However, once again, Ye Qing's chopsticks were faster than hers. She grabbed the last piece of lean meat. With a smile that could have appeared on a pargaon of truth, goodness, and beauty, she said, "Cousin-in-law, what a coincidence, I like to eat lean meat too.
I didn't eat much when I was traveling here today, so I'm very hungry right now. Cousin-in-law, you don't mind if I eat an extra piece of meat, right?" She smiled and specially pushed a plate of vegetables towards other woman. Very enthusiastically, she said, "Cousin-in-law, you're pregnant. You should eat more vegetables. It'll be good for your baby."
"Aiya, cousin-in-law, why aren't you moving your chopsticks? You should eat more. We're one family. You don't have to be polite with me."
Ye Qing's brazen behavior had truly infuriated the cousin-in-law, she shouted, "This is my house!" This was her house. How dare she treat her like a guest?!
Ah, so it was First Aunt that had won. She had probably given the original owner's house to her oldest son as his new home after his wedding?
Ye Qing blinked and put down the chopsticks. There was a light trace of doubt on her fair and clear face. "Ah, your house? Cousin-in-law, are you mistaken about something? This house belongs to me."
