Chapter 203: I’m a Pig?
“Grandma, I’ll leave this in the kitchen. Eat it if you’re hungry.”
Lan Anran spoke through the door.
In the middle of the night, Zhao Xiumei was famished and secretly went down to the kitchen to look for food.
“Grandma, what are you looking for?”
Lan Anran’s sudden appearance behind Zhao Xiumei gave her a shock.
“I’m a little hungry.”
Zhao Xiumei was aggrieved.
“Grandma, tell us if you’re hungry, I’ll get it for you.”
Previously, Lan Anran had secretly fed the stray dogs at the door, so now, there were only a few pieces of bread in the fridge.
She took out some bread, smeared some chili sauce on it, and stacked several layers for Zhao Xiumei.
The Lan Family knew that Zhao Xiumei didn’t like bread, but Lan Anran still gave it to her on purpose. She had no choice but to accept it while cursing in her heart.
She took a bite and her mouth was spitting fire!
She didn’t dare to voice it out and could only swallow it.
“What? Grandma, it seems you like bread, so eat more. Grandma, you’re ill, so eat whatever you want,” Lan Anran smiled and said.
Zhao Xiumei bit the bullet and finished the bread.
She was furious. She didn’t accomplish anything before she fell ill. She had to get what she deserved for her eldest son.
“Grandma, you must be dying to have some abalone porridge, right? I heard from Dad that it’s your favorite. Don’t worry, I’ll make it for you tomorrow. Grandma, you should go to bed after you’re full.”
Lan Anran pushed Zhao Xiumei upstairs, covered her with a blanket, and secretly set an alarm before leaving.
Zhao Xiumei didn’t sleep well the entire night. The alarm on her head rang every twenty minutes and her stomach was burning with a fiery pain. She was also very hungry and hadn’t slept at all the entire night.
“Grandma, Dad told me to come and take good care of you this morning. You seemed to have slept well yesterday, but today is Sunday. I especially went to the market to buy some tonics to nourish your body. Grandma, wait for me to finish making them.”
Lan Anran seemed very filial at this time and was showing great concern for Zhao Xiumei. Lan Yanran was stunned.
“Sis, you…”
“Don’t worry about it. Are you going to film today? Hurry!”
Lan Anran urged Lan Yanran to leave so she could have some space to face this old thing.
“Oh, Sis, I’m leaving. Grandma, I’m leaving.”
Lan Yanran looked at Zhao Xiumei and smiled.
Zhao Xiumei sat alone in the living room while Lan Anran boiled soup in the kitchen. Zhao Xiumei was so hungry her stomach was rumbling.
“Um… Anran, I’m a little hungry.”
Zhao Xiumei spoke in a deep voice.
“You’re hungry? I’ll be done soon.”
Lan Anran comforted her, carrying a pot of large bone soup, a pot of fish soup, a pot of chicken soup, and an abalone scallop soup in front of Zhao Xiumei.
“Grandma, this is your meal, you must finish it.”
Zhao Xiumei’s pupils contracted. Did she think she was a pig?
“Am I a pig?” she asked angrily.
“Grandma, your illness is caused by your weak body. You should nourish yourself more.”
Lan Anran smiled and turned to the kitchen, placing several small dishes in front of her.
Zhao Xiumei reached out to pick it up, but Lan Anran moved it away.
“Grandma, you can’t eat this, it won’t be good for your illness. Drink more soup, this is for today, you must finish it.”
Lan Anran sat opposite Zhao Xiumei and stared at her while eating.
Zhao Xiumei had no choice but to pick up her bowl and start drinking one bowl after another.
“Grandma, this tastes good, right? I learned this from a recipe. Drink more. Grandma, I was unfilial to you in the past. Now that you’re ill, I will definitely take good care of you. Don’t worry, let me know if you want to eat anything. I promise you will be happy.”
Lan Anran spoke.
“Anran, tell your dad about the house and your uncle. I know that your dad listens to you the most, you must help Grandma. I only have one wish and if I die…”
“Pssh! Grandma will definitely live to a ripe old age! Grandma, drink more and you’ll be better!”
Lan Anran changed the topic and took the initiative to scoop some soup for Zhao Xiumei.
Zhao Xiumei frowned. She drank a large pot and was too full to stand.
“Grandma, don’t you love abalones? I’ll continue to buy them tomorrow and I’ll make some abalone porridge for you. Let’s have some soup first. This is very nourishing and the chicken is very fragrant. Hurry and eat, don’t leave any behind.”
Lan Anran grabbed a few pieces of abalones and tore off a chicken drumstick for Zhao Xiumei.
“Anran, Grandma knows you’re filial, but Grandma really…”
“Grandma, don’t talk while eating. Hurry and eat, I’m done.”
Lan Anran cleared her utensils and went to the kitchen to wash them.
Zhao Xiumei reluctantly finished the food in her bowl.
After the meal, Zhao Xiumei lay in bed and took a nap. Lan Anran woke her up again.
“Grandma, do you know what time is it now? You must be hungry. Come down for lunch. I made your favorite food and Dad said he would get the medicine back for you tonight. It’s the latest imported medicine and I heard it is very useful.”
Lan Anran pulled Zhao Xiumei downstairs.
Zhao Xiumei was a little scared. She drank three pots of tonic soup at 8 a.m and now, she’s going to eat again?
“Anran, I want to sleep, my body isn’t well and I don’t want to eat.”
Zhao Xiumei was a little resistant.
“Grandma, it’s been hours, you’ll have to eat. Today is the abalone meal, your favorite. We’ll eat whatever we want.”
Lan Anran took off her apron, sat down, and served Zhao Xiumei a bowl of top-notch rice.
Zhao Xiumei looked at the food with fear and helplessness.
