Family Ye's Older Daughter

Inside the room, the entire Qi Mo family was sitting together and preparing to start their meal, but after a long time, no one touched their chopsticks.

Qi Mu rested his chin on his hand as he looked at their frowning and incredulous expressions. He stared at the big black pot of dried rice on the table, the two side dishes she cooked, and the steaming hot soup.

Smelling the fragrance of the food, Qi Mu's lips curled up into a habitual smile.

She didn't say anything, only finding it funny. It was just a normal meal, but it seemed like something happened. Inadvertently, a tinge of bitterness flashed across her eyes.

"Mu Er, are you cooking the rice that your first aunt gave you?"

Yang Lili was stunned for a moment before swallowing her saliva. She finally reacted and turned to look at Qi Mu. Her trembling voice sounded almost imperceptible, as if she was crying and barely holding on.

"Ah?" No, Mother, what are you thinking? Aunt gave us a lot of rice this time, so I only ate some. Isn't that just enough for our family to eat? "

Qi Mu immediately knew what Yang Lili was worried about. Just now, she thought she was shocked by the sumptuous lunch and couldn't believe it, but in reality, she was also scared. This cheap mother of hers was worried that she had cooked all the rice.

If they were not allowed to see it, even if the dishes placed in front of them were precious delicacies, she, a cheap mother, might not be able to eat it.

"Mom, I left the rice under the bed in the room next door. It's hidden, you go take a look."

Qi Mu said with a smile on his face. He was calm and composed with a smile on his face.

"No, alright, I'll go take a look."

Yang Lili originally wanted to refuse because she was afraid of hurting her daughter's heart. She thought that as a mother, she still didn't trust her daughter.

However, he couldn't be at ease. If he didn't take charge, he wouldn't know how expensive firewood and salt were. If Mu Er were to cook a large family of rice for half a month, then he wouldn't be able to live on.

Zhang Chun grass would definitely not be given to her again, and she didn't want to go see Madame Li either. That person didn't like her, and she similarly didn't like her.

Yang Lili rushed out the door with quick and agile movements. Her back seemed to be burning with anxiety.

"Come, let us Yang Yang eat first. Father, you eat too. Don't worry."

Qi Mu was the first to serve the soup to Yang Yang. With a gentle smile, he looked at Yang Yang with a doting gaze.

"Eat, eat."

Ye Dazhuang also agreed. He was not usually the housekeeper, he was only responsible for work, so even though he knew it was difficult at home, he did not know about the monthly food demands from Zhang Chunji.

Therefore, he was really happy about the lunch. However, because his wife's expression was bad, he still didn't start to eat.

As for Yang Yang, usually when his family members didn't make a move, he wouldn't act first. It was against the rules, taught to him by Yang Lili since she was young.

Of course, there were usually some good things in the Yang Yang Bowl.

"Elder sister's soup tastes really good."

Yang Yang held the bowl and drank a few mouthfuls. He beamed with joy as his large eyes blinked.

"Yes, big sister cooked it. How could it not taste good?"

Yang Yang nodded vigorously, then tilted his head, and asked curiously:

"But didn't the soup have to be drunk last? "Why did you give me some soup first?"

Qi Mu patted his head and said patiently:

"Drink the soup first, then eat. It's good for the stomach. Think about it, originally our stomachs were empty. If we drink half a bowl of soup to warm our stomachs, that would also be telling our stomachs that we have to eat.

"Oh, I understand. Yang Yang will drink the soup first in the future. Are you being a good boy?"

Yang Yang smiled brightly at Qi Mu, "Elder sister, hurry up and praise me!"

Qi Mu smiled. Towards this child that was begging for praise, she was truly powerless to refuse. She patted Yang Yang's round head and said:

"Yang Yang is the most obedient!" Elder sister's favorite is Yang Yang, hurry up and eat. "

The two siblings' interaction was warm and loving, but Ye Dazhuang, who was standing beside them, raised his head and smiled awkwardly. His mouth was filled with rice, making him look a little comical.

Next time, he would drink the soup first.

Ye Dazhuang thought to himself.

"Mu Er, why did your first aunt give so much rice this time?"

Yang Lili walked quickly to the table with a look of disbelief on her face.

"Mother, shouldn't there be more? This is food that will cost us a month to live on! "

Qi Mu asked despite knowing the answer.

Yang Lili was instantly at a loss for words. What should she say? He couldn't say that everything he had given her was lacking, right? Wasn't that what happened to his wife and Lady Li behind his back?

"Sister-in-law gave more to us this time, didn't she?"

Ye Dazhuang really did not understand and asked in confusion.

Seeing this, Yang Lili was so anxious that she was at a loss for words.

Mother, in the past, sister-in-law always gave us less, not by even a little, causing our family to be unable to eat their fill. Although our family was considered to be well in the village, we were still like the poorest farmers, having more to eat. So, this time, in front of Grandma, I mentioned something, and she just said a few words, and then she didn't give us any less.

Qi Mu was slightly angry in his heart. She wasn't used to being slapped on the left cheek the most, yet she still had to slap on the right cheek. Who was she to blame for that? Why did she hide it? She didn't do anything.

If he had told Madame Li earlier, there wouldn't have been so much trouble. After all, his cheap father was also the Li Clan's own son. How could he have treated him so unfairly?

Qi Mu naturally didn't understand Yang Lili's problem.

Yang Lili was left speechless. Ye Dazhuang was confused, Yang Yang was "serious" about eating, and Qi Mu had a cold expression on her face. She really did not understand.

He had originally thought that his family's situation was really bad, and that his grandma might not be so good. However, in reality, it wasn't like that. It was just that Yang Lili didn't want to talk about it.

Wasn't he making things difficult for himself?
