Chapter 16] Some people just deserve to be scolded

Qin Jinzhong naturally couldn't go over and ask for it himself. He glanced at Qian and said, "Eldest Wife, go over and bring the fish soup over. I just ate the cold meat pie and my stomach is full of food. A bowl of hot fish soup is just right."

After hearing this, Qian stood up immediately and said, "Hey! Master, your daughter-in-law will go right away!"

Qin Liqing's wife, Liu, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "After all, the fish was caught by my eldest sister's daughter-in-law. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for us to bring the pot over? Shouldn't we leave some for my eldest sister..."

Before Liu finished speaking, Old Lady Zhang glanced at her grandson's wife impatiently.

Qian immediately said, "Sister-in-law, what you said is wrong! Our grandmother and father are right here, and they haven't even eaten yet. How can my eldest sister be a younger generation? Shouldn't she show respect to the elders first? Besides, although our family is large, when the time comes, we can leave some for her and that little bitch. Otherwise, our Qin family's children and grandchildren will go hungry, and the two little encumbrances brought by that little bitch will benefit, right?"

The two little burdens are naturally referring to Shen Yichuan and Shen Qingxing.

Ever since Qin Mengyue's father, elder brother and nephew died in battle, Zhang and Qin Jinzhong, who are in charge of the Qin family, have always been partial to the eldest branch, and their second branch has never had much say.

Liu also felt that Qin Mengyue had just come over to ask for meat patties, but they hadn't given her any. How could she have the nerve to ask her for fish soup now? That's why she spoke up.

Now that he was being scolded by his sister-in-law, he had no choice but to lower his head and said nothing more.

Qian went over to ask for fish soup in high spirits, completely forgetting that she had just mocked Qin Mengyue!

Here, three little guys gathered around a clay pot for boiling fish soup, staring at the milky white fish soup bubbling in the pot, their mouths watering.

Just now, Shen Yichuan took Shen Qingxing and Xiao Yunhao to pick some chicory nearby, washed them and threw them into the fish soup.

"Sister, can't we eat yet?"

"Sister-in-law, this fish soup is so white and fresh..."

"Sister, we still have the wild vegetables we picked!"

The official distributing the steamed bread was named Yuan Xun. He came over and handed over three of the coarse earthenware bowls they had brought with them, saying, "Don't mind the dirtiness of these bowls; use them to drink soup."

Chen Fenghe was also worried about how to drink the fish soup without a spoon or bowl. Now it was like timely help, so she quickly thanked him, "Thank you, sir."

Yuan Xun waved his hand and said, "It's okay. Just return the pot and bowl to us in a moment."

After saying that, he went back to drink the fish soup that the official had made himself.

Chen Fenghe sprinkled some salt into the fish soup and was about to serve the soup to the three greedy little ones first.

Qian came over and said with a smile, "Oh! This fish soup tastes so delicious! Big sister, the fish soup is ready. Why don't you think about honoring Grandmother and Second Uncle first? Big sister, although you were the queen before, you won't be anymore. When you return to your mother's family, you still have to abide by the rules of your mother's family! Well, I'll help you serve the fish soup directly to Grandmother and Second Uncle!"

As he said this, he took two steps forward to return the fish soup.

Chen Fenghe: “…”

It is true that those who have no shame are invincible.

Just now, he couldn't even bear to give them a meat pie, and now he has the nerve to ask for fish soup?

However, she did not refuse immediately and remained calm for the time being.

Filial piety was given great importance in ancient times.

Her current identity is that of a daughter-in-law. She just stopped Qin Mengyue from exchanging her gold hairpin for meat pie, which was already a "high treason".

If she were to rashly refuse directly now, it would not be in line with her personality.

More importantly, she still needs to observe Qin Mengyue's personality.

When Qin Mengyue saw that Qian was about to take action, her brows frowned involuntarily. She was naturally unwilling.

Don’t say that the fish was caught by Feng He. Even though she is the mother-in-law, it is not her right to make the decision.

Even if she caught it, Hao'er and Yichuan Qingxing had just been collecting firewood and picking wild vegetables nearby. They had been waiting for a long time, but they didn't even get a sip of the drink, and now Qian took away the pot?

By the time it is sent back, I’m afraid there won’t be even a drop left!

But she was concerned about the hardships of her future exile and didn't want to truly break with her family, so she stopped them slightly and said, "Second sister-in-law, the three little guys have been waiting for a long time. Let's serve them a bowl first. And Feng He, this fish soup was caught by Feng He after all, so let her have a bowl first. I won't drink the rest, and I'll give it to Grandmother and Second Uncle as a filial tribute, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Qian's face immediately turned red. She put her hands on her hips and said, "Sister, what are you talking about? How can you not give way to the elders and serve the younger ones first? Sister, you used to be the queen! Don't you even understand this principle? Besides, Hao'er is fine, at least he is my eldest nephew and can be considered the blood of the Qin family. The other two are outsiders who are not related at all! Sister, you really don't know the difference between relatives and strangers!"

Qin Mengyue frowned even more tightly when she saw Qian's aggressive attitude.

Seeing this, Shen Fenghe sighed quietly. It seemed that she would be forced to break up with the Qin family's group of top people, and she still had a heavy responsibility.

Qian couldn't wait any longer and walked forward domineeringly to take away the chicken soup.

Chen Fenghe no longer indulged her. She picked up a branch that was still sparking and hit Qian's hand.

"Ouch! My God! It's so hot!" The sparks immediately burned holes in Qian's clothes, and even the skin on her arms was burned.

"Chen Fenghe! You bitch! How dare you hit me with a fire stick! That fire stick is still emitting sparks! You! Do you still have respect for elders and the law?"

Chen Fenghe glanced at her calmly and said, "Oh, it's you, Second Aunt? I'm so sorry, I wasn't paying attention just now, and then I saw a big rat scurrying over. I was afraid it might steal some fish soup, so I quickly raised my stick to hit it. Who knew you'd come right up to me?"

Qian Shi didn't react and was stunned for a moment before she said, "What big rat?"

Then, she suddenly understood and her face turned black with anger: "Chen Fenghe! How dare you call me a big rat!?"

Chen Fenghe feigned innocence and said, "Second Aunt, you are a big rat? Where did you get that from? Why do you belittle yourself like that? You are so modest!"

Qian: "When did I ever call myself a rat? You were the one who called me that!"

Chen Fenghe said aggrievedly: "This... Mother, your daughter-in-law has been wronged so much. Mother, listen carefully, did I just call my second aunt a rat? Mother, please make the decision for me!"

Of course Qin Mengyue could tell that Chen Fenghe was deliberately scolding Qian. Although she didn't show it on her face, she felt very happy in her heart.

When I asked for the meat pie before, I felt angry because Qian had just righteously "rebuked" me. Now I have finally gotten rid of the anger I felt!

Qin Mengyue looked at Qian seriously and said, "Second sister-in-law, you think too much. Feng He really didn't scold you. I just saw that big rat too!"

Qian looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and felt something was wrong. It seemed that the more they talked about it, the more she was scolded!

She took a deep breath, held it in, and said, "I won't argue with you about this! Big sister, what do you think we should do about this fish soup today? Let me be frank, this is my grandmother and father-in-law who ordered me to come and take the fish soup back! Don't blame me if you don't give it to me!"

A sneer appeared on Chen Fenghe's lips as he said, "Second Aunt, this fish soup, the elders want to drink it. As a junior, I don't drink a single sip and give it all to the elders. It's my duty as a filial son. But... there is a problem."
