Qiao Xiaoni nodded, "We've already cooked it all, so let's have stir-fried pork belly today."

"Then Grandma will accuse us of wasting money again," Tao Chunfang said with lingering fear. "She's been frugal her whole life, how could she bear to see us eating like this?"

"Eat it or not, it's up to her. If she doesn't want to eat, we'll eat it. We bought the food, we didn't steal it, so what's it to her?" Qiao Xiaoni replied assertively.

Tao Chunfang seemed to have found her anchor. She picked up a cleaver and began slicing the pork belly. She hadn't seen such good meat in years. Just like her brother-in-law had said, now the family was celebrating like it was New Year's every day, with meat at every meal.

Stir-fried pork belly and delicious fish soup were quickly prepared.

The whole family was in a good mood, but because the old lady was there, their expressions weren't so pleasant.

Looking at the large bowl of milky-white fish that looked delicious, and the large plate of stir-fried pork belly, Qiao Sunshi's mouth watered. However, the expression on her face was unusually unpleasant.

"Are you two not planning to live together anymore? You've eaten meat and fish in one go, don't you feel stuffed?"

He was talking while tapping his chopsticks on the table.

Qiao Haisheng felt like his head was about to explode with pain, and he didn't know what to do.

Qiao Xiaoni ignored the old lady and started serving soup to everyone with a spoon, filling each person with a large bowl.

The two children's bowls were filled with fish.

"Alright, everyone, stop standing there and let's eat!" Qiao Xiaoni said to everyone.

Su Chenhao was the first to pick up his chopsticks and start eating. As an outsider, it wasn't convenient for him to say anything in this setting, but he could prove himself through his actions.

Seeing his brother eat, Su Chenqiu also picked up his rice bowl and drank the soup. His eyes lit up after the first sip. He had thought the fish soup would have a strong fishy smell, but it didn't. The delicious taste immediately won over his taste buds, and he quickly lowered his head to drink the second and third sips.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Qiao Sunshi kept her head down and ate her food, completely ignoring what she had just said, and the pieces of meat on her plate kept decreasing.

Qiao Dashan came back early today, so all the meat he had prepared was served. The two brothers started to fight over the meat, taking turns eating slices and having a great time.

Looking at the empty bowl, even if Qiao Sunshi was stupid, she knew she was not welcome. She slammed her chopsticks on the table, feeling as if she was full of anger.

As a son, Qiao Haisheng couldn't ignore it, so he picked up his chopsticks, took a few slices of meat, and put them into the old lady's bowl.

"Mom, the meat is delicious today."

"I'm not eating, I'm full of anger," Qiao Sunshi said angrily. When had she ever been treated like this? Especially her son, whom she looked down on the most, was served fish soup and meat at the dinner table, which made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

They don't deserve to eat this stuff; it should be taken home for the old man or his other sons.

Li Meihua wanted to speak up and offer some advice, but her clothes were tugged. Looking down, she saw it was Qiao Xiaoni, who shook her head, indicating that she shouldn't interfere. Remembering how her mother-in-law always scolded her for speaking, Li Meihua swallowed her words. There was meat and fish on the table; if the old lady didn't eat, who could she blame?

Seeing that the large bowl of fish was quickly emptied and there was only 15 pieces of meat left on the plate, Qiao Sunshi knew that if she didn't eat these things soon, they would be gone. As if in a fit of pique, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating. Before she could even finish one bite, she stuffed another into her mouth, eating with her mouth full of oil and without any regard for her image.
