After Marrying Him, the Ending Has Changed-Chapter 24 - : Trapped Again
Chapter 24: Chapter 24: Trapped Again
“Of course, there is!”
Jiang Changhai looked at his daughter with eyes full of distress, “Our Mianmian got a scare and weakened herself, we need to kill an old hen to nourish her.”
“Don’t even think about it!” Zhang Guihua bared her teeth and glared fiercely, looking ferocious and terrifying.
Jiang Changhai, with an unabashed look, said, “Then I’ll go talk to the village chief, and if he can’t decide, I’ll go to the commune and find the brigade leader and secretary.”
As soon as Zhang Guihua heard this, her nose skewed in anger: “You little bastard, aren’t you making the Old Jiang Family lose enough face?!”
They say not to air one’s dirty laundry in public, but this good-for-nothing made a fuss at the slightest disagreement, god knows how much of a laughing stock he had made them in front of the villagers!
Jiang Dashan also frowned, “Change to a different request, we need to keep the chickens for laying eggs.”
It was then that Su Wanyu spoke up gently, “Dad is right, Brother Hai, it’s also good for Mianmian to eat more eggs.”
“Right, right, sister-in-law has got the point, eggs are indeed good stuff.” Sun Lixia also set aside her annoyance to add eagerly.
You should know that back in those days, eggs were a rare delicacy. Other than those reserved for selling for money, the eggs from the family were usually for her two sons and San Ya to eat.
Furthermore, each household was only allowed to raise three chickens. If one was missing, that would be one less egg each day, and the two boys might not even get to eat egg soup twice in a week.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Changhai first showed a look of disgust and hesitation, then said with a face implying it was a great burden, “Since the wife has said so, then let’s have Mianmian eat eggs for two consecutive months.”
“Hiss—”
The people of the Jiang Family took in a breath of air in unison at his audacious demand. The Eldest really dare to say it.

Two months meant sixty eggs. Even Laosan’s Wife, the great contributor for giving birth to the first grandson, only got to eat eggs for a month straight.
Zhang Guihua, after being stunned for a split second, screamed at the top of her voice, “Dream on! Three days, take it or leave it.”
Jiang Changhai shook his head, “No good, fifty days, otherwise I’m going to find the village chief right now.”
Zhang Guihua glared, “One week, not a day more.”
Jiang Changhai frowned, “Forty days.”
Zhang Guihua gritted her teeth, “Ten days.”
“Thirty days.”
“Twenty days.”
“Deal!”
Zhang Guihua: “…”
She got played by that little bastard again!
Thinking about the next twenty eggs all going into that girl’s stomach, her heart was bleeding.
Yet, Jiang Changhai, thick-skinned, even had the audacity to further demand, “Eating steamed eggs every day can get monotonous; it would be better to have sweetened egg pudding every other day to change the flavor.”
“Get lost, there’s no such thing!” Zhang Guihua stormed off in a fury, slamming the door behind her, afraid that if she stayed any longer, her unfilial son would cause her to die of heart disease from sheer anger.
Seeing that the fuss was over, everyone else followed and left, leaving only the family of three from the main room.
The moment her father closed the door, Jiang Mianmian immediately threw off the covers and sat up: “Oh my goodness, I’m boiling!”
In the sweltering heat, to make the performance more convincing, her mother ruthlessly wrapped her in blankets.
“You’ve worked hard, girl, let dad fan you.” Jiang Changhai immediately took the fan and started fanning her, looking at her little face, all red from the suffocation.
Su Wanyu also brought over some cool water with a smile, “Here, girl, have some water.”
As she began to gulp it down, she continued, “With a total of twenty eggs, if the three of us each take an equal share of six, the remaining two—”
“The remaining two eggs are mine!”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Mianmian quickly swallowed the water she was drinking and said, “If it weren’t for my falling into the water today, there wouldn’t be these twenty eggs.”
