Fan Jin has already introduced it to them.

Hu Wenhua, needless to say, is Shui Qing's younger brother; they all know that.

Bai Ziqian and Ling Ran were guests.

Bai Ziqian was a bit young, but he was clearly older than Fan Jiang and looked like a rich young master.

As for Ling Ran, he looked even older. This young man was calm and reserved, very composed, and exuded an air of nobility.

Neither of these two teenagers came from ordinary families!

In other families, people would hope that their daughters would marry into a wealthy and prestigious family, but Ding Heli and Qin Yilin would avoid it like the plague.

Wealthy families have their own unsavory ways. They know whether Jiajia is scheming or not, and they'd probably be miserable if she married into one.

Most importantly, their identities are shady, so they can't offer any help or support.

The two then turned their attention back to the exceptionally robust and burly Hu Wenhua.

Ding Heli: .....I'm afraid this won't be enough to support me.

Qin Yilin: .....It's good to be physically strong, but it seems that he and Jiajia don't like each other.

Although arranged marriages can be good, wouldn't it be better to choose someone you like and who catches your eye?

Life can be less detour-free, and the young couple can live a happy and harmonious life.

Especially since these two have met twice already, you can't force them to like each other.

Ding Heli was somewhat worried.

Qin Yilin was also somewhat worried.

Butcher Hu wasn't worried at all, and enthusiastically called out, "Come on, eat it while it's hot! It won't taste as good if it gets cold."

Looking at Ding Heli's thin frame, Butcher Hu felt that the village doctor really had a tough job, and he, a butcher, didn't even eat as well as the other doctors.

As she spoke, she served food to Ding and Li, using clean chopsticks—as her daughter had instructed.

Hu's mother is using clean chopsticks to serve food to Jiajia.

Logically, she should have served food to Qin Yilin, but after glancing at the plump Qin Yilin and the shy and slender Ding Jiajia, Hu's mother's heart was immediately drawn to one of them.

"Jiajia, don't just eat vegetables, you still need to eat meat. You need to eat meat to grow bigger! Look at Wenhua, for example."

A piece of stewed pig's trotter, cooked until tender and falling off the bone, was placed in Ding Jiajia's bowl. She looked up and saw Hu's mother's loving eyes. She smiled back and lowered her head to eat it in small bites.

It's not fishy or greasy, and it's stewed until very tender. It separates easily from the bone with a gentle bite, making it very easy to chew.

Ding Jiajia had never eaten such delicious pig's trotters before, and her watery eyes sparkled.

When Hu's mother saw that the little girl loved to eat, she was overjoyed. Afraid that the little girl would be too shy to pick up food, she quickly piled up the food in front of Ding Jiajia, until the bowl in front of her was as high as a small mountain.

Ding Heli's bowl was piled high with food, while Qin Yilin picked up food herself and focused on eating.

Braised pig's trotters have a reddish-brown color and a rich, delicious flavor. They're so good you'll want to pour the broth over rice!

Salted duck egg white is tender and fragrant, yolk is sandy and crumbly, truly a good salted duck egg!

The braised pork intestines are fragrant and flavorful, the braised pig ears are smooth and crisp, and the braised duck wings, feet, and necks offer a unique and delicious taste...

The two of them thought everything tasted delicious and didn't know which one to eat first.

While they were eating, they suddenly remembered their precious daughter. When they looked up, they saw that Jiajia's bowl was piled high with food, and Hu's mother was still piling food on her plate.

The comfort they felt was even more pleasant than serving them food!

Qin Yilin scooped out a snow-white chunk from the ribs, then paused the moment she put it in her mouth.

She looked at the others and, seeing that they all seemed relaxed, quietly swallowed the food in her mouth.
