Chen Jun, who died from overwork, finds his soul transported to the year 1954 in Nanluoguxiang.
With a deceased father, a sick mother, a pitiful younger sister, and no job, Chen Jun's sit...
Qin Huairu couldn't help but take a few steps back; the smell made her feel like she was in a public toilet.
"This...is this edible?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Zhangshi turned around and glared at Qin Huairu. What did she mean by "can she eat?" This was questioning her abilities!
"Of course we can eat it! Chen Jun said it himself, the stinkier the better. Ours smells even stinkier than his, so it's definitely going to taste better!"
Jia Zhangshi would not bow down to Qin Huairu, so she took chopsticks and spoons and filled three large bowls with snail rice noodles.
To be honest, the presentation was a bit disgusting; the soup base was grayish-green, and the bamboo shoots were overcooked and deformed.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu dared not pick up her chopsticks.
She's heavily pregnant now, so she has to avoid all sorts of random things, otherwise she'll get food poisoning and be in big trouble.
Madam Jia also noticed Qin Huairu's reaction. She first snorted coldly, then picked up a large mouthful of bamboo shoots and stuffed it into her mouth.
The moment it hit my mouth, a combination of sour, fishy, and other strange flavors exploded in my mouth.
"Ugh~"
The disgusting smell made Jia Zhangshi gag.
But out of pride, she forced herself to swallow the food despite feeling nauseous.
Something does seem a bit off.
Could it be that the rice noodles inside are delicious?
Thinking of this, Jia Zhangshi took another bite of rice noodles, but unfortunately, the taste and texture of the rice noodles were not very good.
"Grandma, it smells awful!"
Banggeng is even more amazing. He knows to drink the soup before eating the noodles, but after drinking a mouthful of the grayish-green soup, he felt so disgusted by the smell that he stuck out his tongue.
"It smells a bit bad, but we've already done it, so we can't waste the food," said Jia Zhangshi.
The bamboo shoots and snails were free, but the rice noodles were bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, and they weren't cheap.
So even though the taste wasn't great, Jia Zhangshi still gritted her teeth and ate two large bowls.
After eating two bowls of noodles, Jia Zhangshi felt quite full, and the feeling of being completely satisfied improved her mood slightly.
Although it wasn't very tasty, at least it filled my stomach.
"You two can divide the rest. I'm going to lie down on the bed for a while." Jia Zhangshi was sleepy after eating, so she told Qin Huairu not to waste food before going to sleep.
Qin Huairu dared not eat it. After Jia Zhangshi got into bed, she grabbed the snail rice noodles in front of Banggeng.
"If you can't eat it, then don't. Your grandma doesn't know how to make snail rice noodles at all."
After saying that, he poured the two bowls of snail rice noodles back into the pot, and then took the pot to the yard to dump them.
"Qin Huairu, what are you doing? You've made the whole yard stink, and we can't hang our clothes out to dry." One of the older women couldn't help but complain, then peeked into the pot.
Good heavens!
What kind of weird stuff is being cooked in here? Why is there something green in this gray soup?
Is this food for humans to eat?
"Sigh, my mother-in-law insists on making snail rice noodles, and I can't do anything about it." Qin Huairu put on a helpless look: "As you all know, my mother-in-law does whatever she wants, and I, as her daughter-in-law, can't control her."
With just two sentences, he extricated himself from the situation.
Upon hearing this, the older women couldn't help but glance at Qin Huairu.
"You've had it tough. After Dongxu left, you've been the one supporting the family."
"If your mother-in-law were half as understanding as you, your life would get better and better."
"However, if Jia Zhangshi does anything unreliable again, you should stop her. Like this snail rice noodle, it's for human consumption, and it would be troublesome if someone got sick from eating it."
The older women all felt that Qin Huairu was a person with a hard life. She didn't have a good life after marrying into the Jia family. The only good days were the two years when Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai helped the Jia family.
Now Jia Dongxu is gone, and Jia's house has been sold, leaving only two widows and a child to depend on each other.
Just as Qin Huairu was feigning pitifulness in the courtyard, Jia Zhangshi, who had gone back to bed for a nap, suddenly opened her eyes. A strange dull pain suddenly came from her lower abdomen, and before she could react, a series of loud farts echoed in the room.
The stick-shaped dog, who was playing inside, was startled by a sudden series of farts.
"Grandma, what's wrong?"
Madam Jia Zhang was writhing on the bed, clutching her stomach, large beads of sweat seeping from her forehead. She was too preoccupied to answer Bang Geng's question.
"Pfft~~~"
"puff!!"
After a few loud farts, Banggeng heard a few muffled thuds.
If nothing unexpected happens, Jia Zhangshi just let out a few solid farts.
"Bang... Bang Geng, go call... your mom!"
"quick!"
It took Jia Zhangshi a lot of effort to squeeze out a sentence.
But Bang Geng seemed not to hear, his eyes fixed on the bed.
"Grandma, why are you pooping on the bed? Please, please stop!"
The family of three only had this one bed, and Jia Zhangshi relieved herself anywhere on it. How were they supposed to sleep at night?
"Qin! Qin Huairu!"
"Ouch, it hurts so much! It hurts so much!"
After passing a few solid farts, Jia Zhangshi's abdominal cramps lessened somewhat, so she quickly summoned Qin Huairu for help.
"Hey, I think I heard your mother-in-law calling you."
"I heard it too, it sounded like they were screaming something like 'it hurts so much'."
Two middle-aged women with sharp ears mentioned it, and Qin Huairu's heart skipped a beat.
It's over.
Could it be that Jia Zhangshi has diarrhea?
She's lying in bed right now!
Thinking of this, Qin Huairu hurriedly ran into the house.
Upon entering the room, they indeed saw Jia Zhangshi rolling around on the bed while letting out solid farts.
Holy crap!
Qin Huairu felt a chill run down her spine after just one glance at the situation on the bed.
"Help! Help! My mother-in-law has been poisoned!"
Qin Huairu felt disgusted by Jia Zhangshi's appearance and wanted to call for help, but no one came in even after she called several times.
"Hey, did you hear that? Jia Zhangshi has poisoned herself."
"Serves her right. If she hadn't been making all this smelly stuff, how could she have gotten poisoned?"
"This will teach her a lesson so she won't mess things up again next time."
"Shh, stop talking, stop talking, Qin Huairu is out."
The next second, Qin Huairu ran out of the house with a worried look on her face: "Second Aunt, please help me! My mother-in-law is rolling around in pain on the bed."
"Okay, let's go take a look."
Since Qin Huairu specifically asked for her help, the second aunt couldn't refuse, so she pulled the other aunts into the house together.
As soon as I entered the room, two middle-aged women couldn't help but gag twice.
"No, is Jia Zhangshi still cooking something?"
"Yeah, why does it smell so bad!"
Qin Huairu blushed upon hearing this. This was hardly cooking; it was clearly Jia Zhangshi's fart.
The second aunt, enduring the stench, walked to the bedside, glanced at Jia Zhangshi's condition, and said, "Hurry up and take her to the hospital, or she'll have serious problems."
