Chapter 7782 The Aunts' Frustration
The aunties were both angry and helpless; they were so frustrated!
If it were within the direct line of the Luo family, Old Master Luo would have already spoken out against Luo Bi, saying she was spoiled rotten. Elders don't tolerate such behavior; Old Master Luo values his reputation and doesn't protect his own. He speaks his mind when necessary.
However, for some reason, the Luo family head and the old Luo family head did not say a word to Luo Bi. The aunts were used to having the final say in the direct lineage branches of the family, and this time they felt somewhat aggrieved in the Luo family's base on the Imperial Star.
Their words carried no weight whatsoever.
They were still unwilling to give up, thinking that since they had always been influential, they wouldn't be silenced just because they were on a mission with the Dixing family. The aunties peeked around, busy with their work while racking their brains to make their own plans.
Luo Bi saw this in the kitchen and said, "Are you trying to keep up with the Joneses? You think it's wrong for us to have special meals for ourselves."
"Really?" Zhan Xiao glanced at the aunties preparing the river vegetables, stood in front of the grill, and slowly placed the small fish and shrimp on the grill: "These are snacks we caught ourselves, why would we complain about this?"
Can't afford to be poor?
Besides, being petty and calculating gives people the impression of being fussy and nitpicky.
Zhan Xiao had also visited Zhan Hui's wife's family. During their brief time together, he realized that while they were indeed not as capable as Luo Qiang, a lieutenant colonel in the Fengyao Empire, they were still quite capable. Zhan Xiao found it hard to believe that they would compare themselves to others even over small snacks; he must be a very meddlesome person.
Luo Bi didn't argue with Zhan Xiao, she just smiled. How could she not know what kind of people the aunties were?!
Luo Yan stood guard in front of the stew pot, busy with Wei Tong making small fish soup and small shrimp and crab soup. The small fish, shrimp and crab with supernatural abilities must taste good. Luo Yan and Wei Tong did not care about their aunts.
Who has that kind of free time!
Faced with delicious food, Luo Yan said, "I'm just craving it."
Well, Luo Bi laughed. The aunties had earned a reputation for being greedy. It has to be said that Luo Yan was right to some extent; the aunties were indeed craving river delicacies. It would be nice to have something to eat and something to take away.
I feel bad when others get a share.
To put it bluntly, it's just that they can't stand seeing others do well.
They don't act like elders at all, and they're so self-righteous.
The aunties were gossiping on the side, and Luo Bi and her friends didn't get any good treatment either. Everyone talks about others behind their backs. Usually, the Thunderflame Warriors wouldn't care, but Luo Bi did, and she retaliated.
We're all in the same boat, so let's not stand on ceremony.
While busy stewing small fish and shrimp, Luo Yini, Luo Ping, and Luo Jiao couldn't hold back their complaints: "They're so fussy, always complaining even while eating. They act like aunties."
Luo Bi chimed in, "Too many people, too much trouble."
Luo Bi didn't know if the girls had taken it to heart, and she didn't expect them to. If they had, it would be a good sign that they still had some brains. There were many members of the direct lineage and branches of the clan, but they all had their own little schemes.
Luo Bi could see it, but her cousins might not understand the family's situation.
"Eh?" Luo Yini whispered to Luo Jiao and Luo Ping. Luo Bi mentioned that there were many things to do with the clansmen, so Luo Yini discussed them with them and chatted. They all enjoyed it.
They chatted with great interest, gossiping and talking about crickets—it was quite invigorating.
Luo Chang's mother went to the kitchen and suggested, "Call our Tong Wan."
The few people cooking separately in the kitchen: "..."
The main guests were Luo Yan, Zhan Xiao, and Luo Yini. Luo Bi provided the chopsticks she had made and ate a meal with them. They didn't care about anything else, as Luo Yan and the others had caught some small river delicacies.
Luo Chang's mother, always quick to read people's expressions, went to Luo Yini's side and said, "Yini, call her Sister-in-law Tong Wan later, so you younger generation can all get together and have some fun." (End of Chapter)
