Chapter 992 Koi Heroine 56

In the house, Yao Yuxia and Yao Jianming, who had been staying by the brazier, heard everything that was going on in the yard clearly.

Yao Yuxia whispered, "Brother, I don't want to build a wall. Although our family has split up, I think we are still one family if we live together. If we use a wall to separate the three families, it will become alienated."

"Yuxia, that's the matter between the third and fourth rooms, we can't get involved." Yao Jianming looked at his broken arm mockingly and said, "Who would listen to us given the way we are now?"

"But, second brother, this is a big event for the Yao family. As a member of the family, we should have a say."

Yao Yuxia instigated him to go out and oppose the construction of the courtyard wall.

Yao Jianming said, "I'm not unwilling. I think it's good to add a courtyard wall. I can close the door and live my own life. There won't be quarrels every day in the future. If you don't want to, you can go and say it yourself."

Yao Yuxia didn't dare to take the lead.

At this time, the people in the two rooms were still holding back their anger. If she went out and said that she didn't want to add the courtyard wall, the people in the third and fourth rooms would definitely vent their anger on her.

Since becoming disabled, Yao Yuxia has been as quiet as if she didn't exist. She rarely appears in public. Even when she goes out, she keeps her head down and ignores everyone.

"Brother, what should we do for the New Year's Eve dinner?"

"We've bought some meat, so let's stir-fry the vegetable stems and meat, stir-fry the vegetable leaves, and then stew some egg custard."

"There are only three dishes. We need to double it for the New Year. Let's make mushroom fried meat. I'll go soak the dried mushrooms."

"Let's make two dishes. If we make too much, we won't be able to finish it. Let's not make the egg custard."

"Brother, today is Chinese New Year, why don't you cook a few more dishes?"

"No, four dishes are unlucky."

"OK then."

All the money in the family was in Yao Jianming's hands, and Yao Jianming had the final say on everything. Ever since Yao Jianming took charge of the family, he had become extremely stingy, and he even wanted her to count the grains of food for them every day.

After there was no more sound outside, Yao Yuxia got up, took the key and went to the kitchen.

When the brothers first separated, they were extremely poor and had no money to build a new kitchen, so they had to share one. Later, Yao Sanli and Yao Sili both got salaries and had money, but neither of them wanted to build a new kitchen.

Whoever builds it separately will have to pay for it.

No one wants to spend this money.

Everyone wants to use the old kitchen.

So, the three families have been sharing one kitchen, but the items in the kitchen had been divided long ago, by drawing lots when the family split up.

So, the originally large kitchen was now filled with everything, including three large water tanks, three large cupboards, and three earthen stoves.

There is a lock on the door of each of the three large cabinets.

Yao Yuxia took out the key to open her own cupboard, took out a piece of meat, which weighed about half a pound, and then took out a yellow cabbage, and scooped out two bowls of rice.

"Hey, Yuxia, you're cooking so early."

Yao Xiaofeng came in carrying a load of water, saw her, and greeted her with a smile.

Yao Yuxia blushed and hummed softly, "Brother Xiaofeng, you are helping my fourth brother fetch water."

"Yes, my brother-in-law has a stubborn temper. If I don't help, the two brothers will not be able to finish this matter. Hey, sister Yuxia, there is no water in your water tank. You can use my water first."

Yao Xiaofeng is Yao Jianming's childhood friend. He sympathizes with the plight of Yao Yuxia and Yao Jianming, and often comes to help the brother and sister do things within his ability.
