CHAPTER 113: 113: IT’S YOU WHO ARE SICK, YOUR WHOLE FAMILY IS SICK (PART 2)_1

Dong Huiying charged into the kitchen, scooped up some water with a ladle, and guzzled it down furiously. After hearing Liang Yuening’s footsteps, she angrily tossed the ladle aside.

Great, she had come to realize this guy was like a clingy tail—like toffee that you just can’t shake off, sticking to you and impossible to pull away.

Yixuan was sitting on a small stool picking vegetables. He glanced at Dong Huiying and then at Fifth Brother, barely holding back his laughter.

"What’s got into you?"

"Nothing," Dong Huiying snapped, glowering at Liang Yuening.

Yue Ning thought to himself, why is she glaring at me when it’s her with the history of trouble!

But Dong Huiying just didn’t get it. During her days at the Liang family’s home, she busied herself applying facial masks, helping the brothers treat their wounds, and even preparing medicinal baths for Second Brother Liang Shuyu. She was being so good; why was he still acting like this?

The more she thought about it, the more infuriated she became!

Ignoring Liang Yuening, Dong Huiying stormed out of the kitchen, her skin worse for wear after recent days, having become much darker. The excessive darkness was a bit of an issue, and it would take time and care to recover a fairer complexion.

Yixuan watched her back, then suddenly said, "Fifth Brother?"

"What!!" Yue Ning’s voice was brimming with irritation. Geez, as if that oddball was to his taste. He didn’t fancy her a bit, hmph!

With a contemplative look on his face, Yixuan said, "Why do I feel like Baobao somehow looks prettier now?"

Yue Ning was taken aback, then he stuttered, "Indeed... She has fewer freckles now, and, compared to before, she seems a bit fairer?"

After speaking, Yue Ning quickly shook his head, saying, "Enough, enough, let’s not talk about her anymore. I bet you can’t find a woman uglier than her in all the neighboring villages!"

Yixuan was speechless. "Fifth Brother, honesty is important!" The changes in her were obvious to everyone; the transformation was dramatic, and everyone in the house saw it. He believed that Fifth Brother felt it too, but... it seemed like he was resisting, not wanting to accept her change.

Yue Ning furrowed his brow suspiciously, "Honest, huh?" He thought about it and it seemed, maybe, it appeared... that on this matter, he was indeed not being honest. But honesty...?

He didn’t want to admit that deep down, he had already changed his opinion of her.

Even if she was a ’little bit’ prettier than before and her personality had improved a ’little bit,’ so what??

Could all those ’little bits’ erase all the past hurt with one stroke?

"Forget it, forget it," Liang Yuening suddenly became irritable, scratching his thinning short hair and uncomfortably saying, "It’s almost noon. We’d better think about what we’re going to eat for lunch."

His implication was clear; he couldn’t waste his energy thinking about Dong Huiying.

Yixuan laughed, "She’s in charge of cooking lunch. Look, once I finish picking the vegetables, we can start the fire."

Liang Yuening: "..."

Was there a sense of having swallowed a fly?

Why did the conversation twist and turn only to circle back to that oddball again?

As much as it was truly revolting, the cooking skills of that ’ugly thing’... were really impressive!!

.....

At noon, Dong Huiying stir-fried two dishes of greens and stewed some pork, leaving the Liang Family Brothers licking their lips with delight. Poor Second Brother Liang Shuyu could only eat his special meal, which as usual was bland. From time to time, he glanced enviously at the pork his brothers were enjoying, the aroma tickling his nostrils, prompting a light sigh within him.

Third Brother Liang Shujun was lounging against his twin brother, Liang Shuyu, like a boneless creature.

"Stop looking, it won’t be ours anyway," he said.
