Chapter 609: Jia Zhangshi stews a chicken, Yi Zhonghai is restless
"That's not right, why would I make fake rat poison?"
"What I want is revenge on Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai!"
Jia Zhangshi figured it out; she had just been muddled by anger.
She had thought it through.
Jia Zhangshi went straight out to the vegetable market.
When she returned, she was carrying a large rooster; not many people sold hens, as they needed to keep them for laying eggs, so roosters were relatively easier to buy.
"Jia Zhangshi, are you improving your standard of living?"
The Third Aunt was very surprised.
"It's not me improving my living standards, it's to nourish Dongxu. He's been so thin lately, it breaks my heart to see it, so I'm stewing a chicken to build up his health."
Jia Zhangshi responded with a smile.
The Third Aunt was dumbfounded. Is this for real?
Is Jia Zhangshi really going to build up Jia Dongxu's health?
Has Jia Zhangshi really turned over a new leaf?
The Jia Zhangshi of the past would only eat for herself; even if she shared with Jia Dongxu, it would be the leftovers or scraps she didn't want to eat.
By the time the Third Aunt came to her senses, Jia Zhangshi had long since returned home.
The Third Aunt shook her head.
When Yan Fugui returned from work, the Third Aunt told him about it.
"Rivers and mountains are easy to change, but a person's nature is hard to alter. I don't think Jia Zhangshi can change; she bought that chicken, she's definitely going to eat it herself!"
Yan Fugui didn't believe it at all.
"But Jia Zhangshi these past few days is truly different from before."
"She's started doing housework, cooking, and she doesn't curse people as often anymore. Isn't that a change?"
The Third Aunt questioned.
"That's because she was scared by the rat poison and hasn't recovered her wits yet. Once she recovers in a few days, she'll return to her old self."
Yan Fugui still didn't believe it.
A person's habits are formed over a long period.
To change completely in a short time is not impossible, just harder than ascending to the heavens.
Unless there is a profound lesson, combined with a complete shift in ideology, change is only possible. Does Jia Zhangshi have a shift in ideology?
No!
She was just scared.
Yan Fugui and the Third Aunt swapped shifts.
He guarded the gate, and the Third Aunt went home to do housework and make dinner.
Not long after, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu returned to the Sihe Academy together.
"Dongxu, congratulations, your mother has changed for the better."
"Just now, your mother bought a chicken back, saying it's to nourish you. You'll have a good life from now on."
Yan Fugui congratulated Jia Dongxu.
Regardless of whether he believed Jia Zhangshi would change for the better, saying nice things was never wrong.
"My mother bought me a chicken to nourish me?"
Jia Dongxu was stunned.
If it were anyone else, he certainly wouldn't believe it.
But Yan Fugui was different; he always prided himself on being an educated man and was someone who cared very much about his reputation, so he wouldn't joke about such things.
"Take a sniff, that's the fragrance of chicken meat, it's wafting out from your house."
Yan Fugui took a deep breath.
Yi Zhonghai also took a breath and nodded; it was indeed the fragrance of stewed chicken, though the cooking technique was a bit poor.
It couldn't compare to He Daqing.
And even less to Wan Ping'an.
"Dongxu, congratulations, your good days have arrived."
Yi Zhonghai was very happy. ===== CHAPTER 611 =====
