Elaine smiled as she said, "Silly girl! I was just lying to her. Where could I possibly buy any Oskian breakfast food during the New Year? Besides, I don't even know how to cook those dishes at all. I was just trying to make that bad old woman angry!"
Elaine continued speaking, "You might not know it, but your grandmother really enjoys eating Oskian breakfast food. She would always go to the teahouse for the entire morning just to enjoy some good Oskian breakfast food. Every time she goes there, she would always eat an extremely hearty meal like a queen! She would order a whole table full of food each time. Now that she has already fallen into poverty, why wouldn’t I take advantage of this situation to stimulate her and criticize her, then?" s
Claire sighed helplessly as she said, “Mom, don't you think that it is about time for you to let go of the grudge between you and grandma now? She is already so old. So, you should not continue to argue with her like that anymore." 1
Elaine replied disdainfully, "So what if she is getting older? Let me tell you something. In this society, there are a group of people who become even more wicked a s they age! For these kinds of people, the older they are and the more difficult it is for them to breathe, the more wicked and bad these people are! You do not know how badly she tortured me back in the
detention center! I am already being extremely kind and benevolent toward her by not rushing over there t o kill her!" 5
Claire could not deal with her mother at all. Thus, she could only ask, "Alright, Mom. So, what are we having for breakfast, then?" 1
Elaine replied, "We are having noodles for breakfast today. I made tomatoes and egg noodles today."
After she was done speaking, Elaine looked at Charlie before she said in a flattering manner, "My good son-in -law, please do not despise this simple food. When my leg recovers fully, I will definitely go out and buy all sorts of vegetables and meats every day to cook a good meal for you!" 4
Charlie smiled before he said, "Mom, I am not picky at all when it comes to food. You should try to make more delicious food for Claire." 1
"Of course! That is for sure!” Elaine grinned as she said, "A woman must eat better and more nutritious food when they are preparing to get pregnant." i
