Zhou Wan felt upset as he listened. Why was Jiang Chuan praised for selling vegetables in the county town when Zhou Wan had once wanted to do the same, only to be scolded by his mother? She had warned him that he was too naïve and would surely get cheated.
Why was she treating Jiang Chuan differently? She was clearly biased.
Just then, Zhou Wan's wife came out of the kitchen, having finished cooking. Seeing her husband, she cheerfully said, "Father, Mother, Zhou Wan, dinner is ready. Let's sit and eat. We can talk while dining."
Zhou Wan went over to help his wife and playfully pinched her waist, showing his affection.
The four settled at the dining table. Some wild vegetable pancakes that Zhou Lan had brought were still left. Zhou Wan served them, with meat sauce on the side. The combination was incredibly fragrant.
