Overnight Hit: Vicious Stepmother and Genius Son-Chapter 45 - Lunch

[Are the haters just jealous now? Haha, our Zhenzhen is classy. She never showed off to anyone. What are the haters blabbering about?]

[To tell the truth, the more I learn about Ye Zhenzhen, the more I like her. This woman is outstanding in so many respects. I was blind before.]

The three agreed to meet at the entrance to the Anshan Great Waterfall Scenic Area at two in the afternoon. Ye Zhenzhen took Xiao Chen to find something to eat first.

Ye Zhenzhen saw a stall that sold hot and sour glass noodles and went over to take a look, then ordered a serving.

The hot and sour glass noodles tasted great here, and she really enjoyed her meal.

Song Yuchen was equally happy. After Ye Zhenzhen finished her noodles, she bought him a serving of baby potatoes.

He thought the baby potatoes were delicious, even better than the ones the domestic help made at home.

After they finished eating, Ye Zhenzhen bought two ice creams, one big and one small, and they each took one to eat as they walked along.

As they were about to leave the food street, Song Yuchen saw Shen Yibo and waved his little arm, calling out, “Yibo!”

Shen Yibo’s mood was pretty bad at the moment. He was being led by Han Jiangxue, his little chubby face full of dismay.

Seeing the ice cream in Song Yuchen’s hand, he became even sadder. “Mommy, why can Xiao Chen have ice cream, but you won’t even buy me a single grilled sausage?”

[Because your mommy has no money left, it’s not that she doesn’t want to buy it for you.]

[It’s such a pity to see our Xiao Xue taking care of the child all by herself. Sigh!]

[Whether it’s pitiful or not, it’s all about fate. What kind of meat she gave the child yesterday morning led to diarrhea during the day and the delay in bamboo shoots digging. Everything has a cause and effect. Why can Ye Zhenzhen do so well?]

[So when you compare, you realize that the so-called evil stepmother, Ye Zhenzhen, turns out to be the most competent mother.]

Just now, in order to save money, Han Jiangxue had bought Shen Yibo two steamed buns with greens, but with so many delicious options on the food street, eating just two vegetable buns was quite cruel for Shen Yibo. The more he ate, the more he craved, and he wanted Han Jiangxue to buy him a grilled sausage.

Here, a vegetable bun cost three yuan. After Han Jiangxue bought two, she had only 14 yuan left. A grilled sausage cost six yuan. Just for this lunch, Shen Yibo alone had consumed most of it. How were they supposed to get through the evening and the next day?

Han Jiangxue refused without a second thought, which left Shen Yibo sulking the entire time.

Han Jiangxue, looking at the one big and one small enjoying their ice cream in front of her, could only think that Ye Zhenzhen brought Song Yuchen over to flaunt her presence deliberately, simply to show that she had more funds and could buy whatever her son wanted.

And there she was, Han Jiangxue, getting entangled with her stepson in a place like this, all because of a roasted sausage.

The thought of it was just too embarrassing.

With gritted teeth, Han Jiangxue managed a smile and said to Shen Yibo, “Yibo, didn’t you just have something to eat? How about we go see the Great Waterfall now?”

While speaking, Han Jiangxue didn’t even dare to mention that she had only bought Shen Yibo two vegetable buns just before, fearing that Ye Zhenzhen would laugh at her.

Now, she had no other choice but to get Shen Yibo out of this food street as quickly as possible and meet up with Wu Yuerou to see the waterfall.

But Shen Yibo’s mind was set on eating a roasted sausage, and he refused to leave no matter what. Despite Han Jiangxue pulling and dragging at his arm, he wouldn’t budge, “Mom, please buy me a roasted sausage, I beg you, I really want one.”

“Mom, I want a roasted sausage too!” Song Yuchen tugged at Ye Zhenzhen’s arm, glancing at Shen Yibo and then at the roasted sausage stall not far away.

Half of Song Yuchen’s desire was that he genuinely wanted to try it, as he had never had one of these roadside stall sausages before.

On the other hand, he wanted Ye Zhenzhen to buy one and then share it with Shen Yibo because on the day they arrived, Shen Yibo had secretly given him a piece of milk candy on the plane.

He remembered it well and was quite fond of Shen Yibo.

“Okay, Mom will buy you one.”

Ye Zhenzhen’s gaze inadvertently swept over Han Jiangxue, who looked somewhat impatient, and considering the budget Han Jiangxue received, guessed she probably didn’t have much money left.

She then crouched down to Shen Yibo, “Little Yibo, how about Auntie buys it for you?”

While she didn’t like Han Jiangxue, she thought Shen Yibo was adorable and felt there was no need to make a child cry over a sausage.

Shen Yibo’s downcast little face instantly lit up with joy, “Yes, thank you, Auntie!”

Song Yuchen was secretly delighted, thinking Ye Zhenzhen was truly kind.

With a serious tone, Han Jiangxue said, “Zhenzhen, I didn’t buy those for Yibo because I’m afraid he might get diarrhea again!”

She was attempting to disguise her awkwardness about having no money.

Moreover, Shen Yibo had actually had diarrhea just yesterday.

Whatever Han Jiangxue was thinking, Ye Zhenzhen couldn’t possibly not know. She touched Shen Yibo’s chubby cheek, “Are you still having diarrhea? What if you get a tummy ache after eating?”

Shen Yibo quickly shook his head, “No, Auntie, I’m not having a tummy ache anymore…”

“Then let’s go for one!”

Ye Zhenzhen stood up and walked toward the sausage stall, and behind her, Han Jiangxue’s fist tightened, she too, holding Shen Yibo’s hand, followed, “If Yibo wants a sausage, I can buy it for him.”

She didn’t need Ye Zhenzhen’s charity.

Ye Zhenzhen had her money out when she heard Han Jiangxue say this. She withdrew what she was going to say and told the vendor, “One sausage, please.”

Not having to spend her money was a relief; she was pleased to be off the hook.

Over here, Shen Yibo also received a sausage from Han Jiangxue, and together with Song Yuchen, they ate it happily.

Bitterly displeased within, Han Jiangxue looked at Song Yuchen: Eat, eat, eat, just wait until you get diarrhea later, that will show you. Better yet, may you and Ye Zhenzhen both end up with such bad stomachs that you can’t even get up!
