Sister-in-law from a poor family

A group of four or five women from the village came. When they first entered, they smelled the smell of meat wafting from the kitchen.

Everyone was envious, and when chatting with Fu Chen, they mostly complimented her.

When the meat came out of the pot, some of them were salivating and made excuses to go back first, but only two people stayed.

One stared at the muntjac chowder on the table with bright eyes, and the other stared at Qin Mianmian with bright eyes.

"Would you like to sit down and have something to eat together?" Seeing that they had no intention of leaving, Fu Chen invited them politely.

This was originally a polite word, and it was said very stiffly. Fu Chen only spoke when she saw that they didn't leave.

The one who didn't want to stare at the meat sat down unceremoniously: "That's a good feeling. In fact, I've already eaten it at home, but I'm embarrassed to leave after you started talking.

Our family actually ate meat today. I ate three pieces of fat meat as big as a palm. "

The speaker’s surname is Fang, Wan Fang’s surname.

Her hands kept rubbing on her clothes, staring at a large piece of muntjac bone and grabbing it.

Qin Mianmian just stretched out her chopsticks, picked up a chopstick and placed it in Fangfang's bowl.

"Fangfang, eat more. Eat more to grow taller."

Wan Fang set his sights on another bone, and Qin Mianmian's chopsticks were in front again, picking the bone into Futian's bowl.

"Dad, please eat more. The doctor said you need to take good care of your illness."

Wan Fangshi glared at Qin Mianmian fiercely and aimed at a bone for the third time.

The meat on the bones has been cooked until it falls off the bones. It is fragrant and delicious at first glance.

Before she even got the bone, her saliva almost leaked from the corners of her mouth.

But this time, she still didn't get the bone as she wished.

Qin Mianmian took away the bones for the third time and put them in Fu Chen's bowl.

"Mom, you worked hard pushing the tofu up early. Eat some good tonic quickly."

The head of this muntjac was only about the same size, so when Fu Chen chopped it off it was still a little bigger, so of course he didn't cut off a few pieces.

Qin Mianmian used only a few chopsticks to remove all the bones, leaving only the heart, liver and intestines.

"Oh, no one brought me a bowl." Wan Fang said angrily, then got up and went to the cupboard to get a bowl.

When she came back, there were only a few bones left in the earthen bowl, so she quickly picked up a piece.

But Qin Mianmian had already picked out the best ones, so she could only eat two pieces of meatless meat.

She was eating vigorously, but Mrs. Chen saw another person staring at Qin Mianmian with no intention of sitting down.

The woman was younger, probably in her early twenties, with neatly tied black hair and a peach wood hairpin on her head.

"Sister-in-law Shen, why don't you sit down and have something to eat together?" Madam Fu Chen invited again.

The woman grinned: "I won't eat it. We are not shameless people. We will take a bite of everyone's food."

These words spoke to Qin Mianmian's heart. She glanced at Fu Fang who was busy eating. That woman really only had eyes for eating.

"Sister-in-law, do you have anything else to do?" She took the initiative and just stood up to get a bowl, scooped out more than half of the bowl of muntjac and handed it to her.

There are actually a lot of dishes today, but she just doesn't like Wan Fang's temperament of taking advantage.

"Sister, I ate at home." Wan Shen shook her head and did not take the bowl from Qin Mianmian.

"Did sister-in-law also eat three big pieces of fat meat at home?" Qin Mianmian asked with a smile, and glanced at Wan Fang who was eating wildly with his head down.

"Girl is joking, in a family like ours, who can eat three big pieces of meat per person? Even during the Chinese New Year, one person can only eat one or two pieces." Mrs. Shen smiled shyly and glanced at Wan Fang. Shi.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see what she was saying, and what Qin Mianmian was saying, but Wan Fang didn't seem to hear it. He picked up a wooden spoon and prepared a bowl of muntjac dumplings.

The chowder made by Mrs. Chen was very fragrant and had no fishy smell at all. She was already craving for it just by smelling it.

But before his hand touched the spoon, Fu Jingbo took the wooden spoon and scooped out a bowl full of chowder for Qin Mianmian.

"Eat." He said expressionlessly, but his eyes were fixed on Qin Mianmian.

Qin Mianmian smiled and pulled Shen to sit down: "Sister-in-law, eat quickly. There is plenty of this dish."

After saying that, he picked up the bowl and looked at Wan Fangshi: "Auntie, didn't you eat three big pieces of fat meat at home, and now you are not tired of eating so much?"

She smiled, but her eyes were filled with disgust.

"Hey, it's not just for your mother's sake. You go around the village and ask around. If anyone calls me for dinner, I'll go.

I just want to be friendly with your mother. I don't pay attention to anyone who calls me to eat, and I don't eat sparingly at all. "

As she spoke, she patted Fu Chen on the back, looking very affectionate.

Mrs. Fu Chen was confused. She didn't know when she got acquainted with this person who had never treated her well.

Seeing the flattering look on Wan Fang's face, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth.

"Hey, Aunt Fang, why didn't I know when you and Aunt Chen had a good relationship?

Who said at the head of the village yesterday that Aunt Chen had destroyed all the family property, and who said that Aunt Chen had ruined the family's life so that they would never have a good life. "

Qin Mianmian was startled and turned to look at Wan Fangshi.

"What are you talking about? These words were spoken by those long-tongued women. What do they have to do with me?" Wan Fangshi screamed like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

Seeing her like this, Qin Mianmian didn't understand anything.

"Auntie, if it's not you, it's not you. There's nothing to be excited about. Even if we say now that people who secretly scold my mother will have sores on their mouths and tongues and pus all over their bodies, that's none of your business."

She still smiled and her voice was very soft, but the words fell like sharp thorns in Wan Fangshi's ears.

"Yeah, either you or I heard it wrong." Shen glanced at Qin Mianmian appreciatively and laughed.

"But Auntie, what you said is wrong. You don't even want to eat other people's food.

Who ate the bacon from Aunt Wang’s house yesterday and Granny Tao’s eggs the day before yesterday? Could it be that they were eaten by dogs? "

Shen's tongue is quite sharp, and she didn't even take a breath when she said these words.

Wan Fang's face turned red and white, and he was stunned for a long time, unable to think of how to refute.

The corners of Qin Mianmian's mouth raised crazily, and she silently raised the flag for Shen in her heart, adding some muntjac seeds to her bowl.

"Sister-in-law, it's a pity to feed such good food to dogs. Let's eat more."

"I know you ate it at home, so just do me a favor. I don't want these dishes to go to waste."

When she spoke, she glanced at Wan Fangshi intentionally or unintentionally, indicating something.

Mrs. Shen hesitated for a moment, but finally picked up the bowl.

"Then I'll eat it shamelessly, sister." She smiled brightly, then took the bowl and ate slowly.

Wan Fang's family over there was still thinking about how to round it up, while Qin Mianmian had already started to distribute the vegetables in the earthen bowl to the family.

After dividing the portion, he pretended to sigh with regret: "Oh, I forgot about my aunt. But my aunt just ate three big pieces of fat meat at home, so she probably doesn't like my chowder." (End of Chapter)
