Chapter 169: Chapter 169: How Much Is Your Filial Piety Worth?

Li Jiadong entered the room and clearly saw the person inside, "Big sister, why haven’t you left yet?"

"What else? I’ve been waiting for you," Lin Jiayi replied irritably, her eyes fixed on the bag in his hand.

She relaxed a bit when she smelled the faint scent of meat.

Li Jiadong looked around and asked, "Why are you waiting for me? Didn’t all of you finish eating already?"

Lin Jiayi couldn’t bother explaining and reached out to grab the bag in his hand.

"Alright, give me the stuff already. It’s so late, don’t you know I’m pregnant? It’s not safe to walk late at night?"

Li Jiadong quickly lifted the bag out of her reach, puzzled, "How is my coming home late related to big sister? If you want to go home early, just go. I didn’t hold you back, nor did I ask you to wait for me."

Lin Jiayi, failing to grab the item, glared at him, "You think I’m waiting for you? Give it to me. Such a small amount isn’t even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth. Are you even useful? Why can’t you ask for more?"

Only then did Li Jiadong understand what Lin Jiayi wanted and lifted the bag even higher.

"This is from second sister, all stuff that I like to eat. Big sister, why do you think you have the right to fight over it with me? You think it’s not enough, but I think it’s enough for two meals."

"Li Jiadong," Lin Jiayi shouted angrily when she couldn’t get the items, "what do you mean by this? Don’t forget that I was the one who asked you to get something from Lin Chuxia."

Li Jiadong nodded, "You told me to get it, and you said second sister ought to be filial to our parents, right? Being filial to our parents doesn’t mean being filial to you, why should I give it to you?"

Unable to snatch the items, Lin Jiayi turned to Mother Lin with a look of grievance, "Mom, look at him."

It was difficult for Mother Lin as well, as she tried to mediate, "Jiadong, just give your big sister a bit, she’s still carrying a child, you know."

"Not giving," Li Jiadong clutched the items tightly, "she’s carrying a child for the Li family. If she wants good food, let her husband buy it for her. Why should she have mine? It’s all from second sister."

Mother Lin also saw those items, and indeed, they were all her son’s favorites. freewёbnoνel.com

Her son loved to eat pork liver, but it was expensive. She couldn’t bear to buy any for her son all year round.

There were also smoked chicken and sausages, they smelled delicious, and it was no wonder her youngest son was holding onto them so tightly.

How long had it been since she had bought any of these for her youngest son?

"Jiayi, I don’t think there’s much there. Why don’t you stay over for the night, and we can eat together tomorrow?"

Lin Jiayi refused, "Mom, everyone knows our family has this business. If I return empty-handed, that old lady and young sister-in-law at home will surely talk behind my back. Are you okay with your daughter being bullied by them?"

She came out today precisely because those two young sisters-in-law had provoked her.

Even after getting married, Li Hongmei could not settle down. Today, she came back to her maternal home and god knows what she said to the old lady, who made snide remarks about Lin Chuxia.

Half a year into marriage, and she’s already pregnant. Yet, that old lady still mentioned the matter of changing brides.

Mother Lin also knew the nature of the old lady from the Li family and the two young sisters-in-law. She didn’t want her daughter to be unhappy during the New Year, but she also couldn’t bear to let her son suffer.

Palm or back of the hand, both are flesh, but the son’s flesh was a bit more precious.
