Chapter 11 A Murder Case Caused by Half a Bowl of Chicken Soup (Part 1)

Qiao Qiqi is someone who cooks frequently, and soon, a big pot of wild vegetable porridge was ready.

While the officers were carrying large iron pots to distribute to the prisoners, she began to prepare food for herself and the Pei family.

She didn't dare use the miscellaneous rice provided by the officials.

So he took out several more sweet potatoes from the space and threw them into the firewood pile.

Although raw sweet potatoes are edible, they still don’t taste as good as roasted ones.

Moreover, eating too much raw sweet potato is difficult to digest.

After the officials brought back the empty iron pot, she washed it and started to make wild mushroom and chicken soup.

This time, all the officials were eating in the front and no one paid any attention to her.

She then prepared the chicken soup with confidence.

While stirring the pot with a large iron spoon, she looked forward to her life after getting the divorce papers.

And in the main hall of the ruined temple.

As expected, the officials did not distribute wild vegetable porridge to the eldest wife of the Pei family.

The other two families, not knowing what was going on, pointed at them while drinking wild vegetable porridge.

Only the second and third branches of the Pei family looked at them with jealous eyes.

"Mom, can we really eat the fat chicken today?"

Pei Shaoming asked with a skeptical attitude, "Could Qiao Qiqi be hiding in the back and eating alone?"

"Shaoming! She is your sister-in-law and you are not allowed to call her by her first name anymore!"

A low, hoarse voice came from the wooden board, with a hint of majesty in it.

"Brother, you're awake! That's great!"

Pei Shaoan and Pei Shaoming's eyes lit up and they hurried forward.

"Well, actually I woke up a while ago, but I was just groggy."

Pei Shaoling briefly explained, then squinted his eyes and looked at Pei Shaoming.

"Did you hear what Big Brother said? No matter what, she is your wife, and you can't call her by her maiden name. It's against the rules!"

"Oh, I, I am... Big Brother, I understand! I will call her Big Sister-in-law from now on, okay?"

Pei Shaoming originally wanted to say that he just called it out for granted.

However, seeing the look in his elder brother's eyes, he honestly admitted his mistake.

Pei Shaoling then nodded in satisfaction.

Since he was reborn, he found that his little wife had changed a lot.

He looks as timid as a little rabbit, but he is very strong inside.

The missing official that day was probably killed by her.

As for why he took action, he was very clear about the moral character of these officers.

Perhaps this little wife of mine couldn't stand it any longer, or maybe the other party accidentally discovered her secret?

Pei Shaoling closed his eyes, with a slight upward curve at the corner of his mouth.

Meanwhile, Qiao Qiqi finally finished cooking the chicken soup.

She pulled out the roasted sweet potatoes from the fire and found a large basin from the official's bag.

After washing it clean, ladle the chicken soup into it.

The next step was to clean up the big iron pot, the remaining firewood, and the fire pile to prevent anyone from causing a fire.

Holding a roasted sweet potato and chicken soup, she slowly walked to the main hall of the dilapidated temple where the Pei family's main room was located.

“Smells so good!”

Among the prisoners, some couldn't help swallowing.

Qiao Qiqi didn't even look at those people.

They had already had the wild vegetable porridge, and their whole family was waiting.

Besides, there are two injured people here who need more nutrition.

Pei Shaoan saw her coming over with a large basin and hurried forward to help, "Sister-in-law, let me do it!"

Huh?

He actually calls himself sister-in-law?

I've been here for two days, and this is the first time I hear them call me that.

Qiao Qiqi let him take it, then took out some roasted sweet potatoes from her arms and distributed them to everyone.

"Sister-in-law, my eldest brother has woken up, I'll scoop a bowl for him too."

Pei Shaoming, who was standing by, was also busy taking out a broken bowl from Pei's mother's bag, preparing to share the food.

"Ah? Your big brother is awake? What happened? He didn't wake up and fall asleep again like before, did he?"

Qiao Qiqi asked quickly.

No wonder these two brothers called themselves sister-in-law for the first time today. It turned out that their eldest brother had woken up.

Very good!

I just happened to have something to discuss with him!

Seeing that he didn't wake up for long and fell asleep again, I didn't say anything.

"Well, I've been awake for a while. I seem to be in good spirits today."

Pei Shaoming nodded slightly and said.

"How's Shu'er? Is she awake?"

Qiao Qiqi looked at the little girl in Pei's mother's arms again.

The little head in Pei's mother's arms moved slightly, and she looked up at her with a pair of big dark eyes.

"You're awake too, right? That's good. Have some chicken soup to replenish your body and your wound will heal quickly!"

Only then did Qiao Qiqi sit down and took out her broken bowl from her bag.

Pei Shaoming took it and scooped a full bowl of chicken for her.

Qiao Qiqi felt a little warm in her heart.

Pei Shaoming used to look like he hated her, but now they seem like a family.

When Pei's second uncle wanted to search his bag, Pei Shaoan was able to stand up and protect himself.

It’s all thanks to my hard work.

However, there is so much chicken and no chopsticks!

Seeing that they all picked it up with their hands and ate it, she didn't want to be picky anymore.

Following suit, he pinched a piece and put it in his mouth, "Mmm, it smells so good!"

As for Pei Shaoling lying on the wooden board, she planned to feed him later and discuss something with him at the same time.

Just as the eldest wife of the Pei family was happily drinking chicken soup, a discordant voice rang out...

"Sister-in-law, mom is still here! Are you just busy eating?"

The one who spoke was the second aunt of the Pei family. She rolled her eyes and swallowed her saliva.

Then, Aunt Pei also echoed, "That's right, your eldest wife caused us to be exiled, and now that we have something delicious, you actually eat it all for yourself!"

Qiao Qiqi stopped eating and looked over.

I saw the second and third branches of the Pei family sitting together, pointing at Pei's mother and talking dirty.

Mother Pei had a trace of guilt on her face. She glanced at Qiao Qiqi, then at the remaining bowl of soup in the basin, and said in embarrassment,

"Sister-in-law, mother, you've all eaten. This remaining bowl is for Shao Ling..."

Qiao Qiqi quickly put her bowl of chicken into her sleeve, and took out a broken bowl from the package and poured the remaining bowl of chicken soup into it.

"Look how filial your daughter-in-law is. She even knows to give it to us. Unlike you!"

The second aunt of the Pei family thought that Qiao Qiqi poured it for them and said proudly.

Qiao Qiqi didn't even look at her, and sat next to Pei Shaoling with the chicken soup.

"Persimmon, get up and have some chicken soup!"

She called out softly to Pei Shaoling who had his eyes closed.

Pei Shaoling gently opened his eyes and tried to sit up with difficulty.

Qiao Qiqi quickly freed one hand to help him up, "Your tailbone might be injured. Let me help you sit up halfway!"

When Aunt Pei saw it, she realized it wasn't served to them!

She hurried forward to snatch it!

At this time, Pei Shaoan and Pei Shaoming had quickly finished the food in their bowls.

The two of them blocked Qiao Qiqi's way, preventing Second Aunt Pei from moving forward.
