This is the story of a fake young lady from a marquis mansion who, after being driven out, leads her blood relatives to wealth and reaches the pinnacle of life. This work is purely fictional; thank...
Shen Yuyan's eyes widened; it was so delicious!
He had never eaten such delicious meat in his entire life.
I never expected that this second sister would not only be beautiful, but also cook delicious meat.
"Is it tasty?"
Shen Yuyan swallowed the twice-cooked pork she had chewed and nodded, saying, "Second Sister, this meat is really delicious. I've never eaten such delicious meat before."
"Could the younger brother help his older sister carry the dishes to Mom and Dad's room?"
Shen Yuyan was more than happy to oblige. He replied with a "good" and cheerfully took the dishes away.
Shen Danru then made a stir-fried bok choy and celery with dried tofu. When Shen Yuyan returned, she asked him to take the other two dishes with him.
By this time, the cooked pork leg meat had cooled down. It was sliced thinly and arranged on a plate. The minced garlic and various seasonings were mixed into a sauce and poured over the meat slices. A dish of minced garlic and pork belly was ready.
Four dishes, two meat and two vegetable. Shen Danru's portions were also large, enough for five people.
The rice was steamed and smelled delicious. She found a large wooden basin and filled it with all the rice. Shen Yuyan carried the last dish, and Shen Danru carried the rice. They went back to the mud-brick house where the second family lived.
Upon seeing Shen Danru enter, Shen Yu'an quickly stood up and took the wooden basin from her.
Zhou: "Ru'er, is this the food you brought back? Why are there so many? What will you eat after we finish them all?"
Shen Danru knew that Zhou Shi was worried about her and afraid that she wouldn't have good food to eat in the future.
"Father, Mother, Eldest Brother, Yuyan, please sit down and eat. This is for you."
"Ah, ah."
Seeing Shen Danru serving rice to everyone, Shen Cheng and Zhou Shi looked pleased. It seemed that the Marquis's family had raised Ru'er very well; she was kind and respectful to her elders.
"Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. Your reward is 60 triple experience points, 300 triple points, and 3 types of seeds, which you can choose from within the system."
Shen Danru glanced at it; her current experience points were 140 and her score was 645.
645 points can be redeemed for more than twenty durians.
In order to achieve her goal of owning a durian, she decided to work hard to earn more points.
While the second family was wolfing down their food, the other families were already getting restless. They had been smelling the delicious aromas wafting from the kitchen, but they were too embarrassed to ask for any.
Who told them to stand by and watch the show while their mother scolded Zhou, even adding their own unpleasant remarks from time to time?
"Mom, I want to eat meat. Why can my second uncle's family steal some, but we can't?"
Shen Yuyuan, the third son, was twelve years old, but he was still a child. He couldn't help but complain to his mother, Madam Lü.
"Eat, eat, eat. What are you eating? If you're so capable, go ask your grandma for some."
Lady Lü was also craving meat. She ate brown rice porridge with pickled vegetables every day and hadn't eaten meat in a long time. The smell of meat awakened her appetite.
No, she has to go to her in-laws and ask them if they'll take care of it.
When Madam Lü led Shen Yuyuan to the main room, the people from the eldest son's family were also there, seemingly waiting for Old Man Shen and Madam Chen to speak.
Old Shen took a puff of his pipe and said, "The grain and meat were brought by the second daughter of the second son's family, who just came back. How am I supposed to ask for it?"
After finishing dinner, he went out to digest his food. When he came back, he heard about what had happened inside the house.
If Chen had been able to give some grain to his second son's family in the first place, he wouldn't have ended up losing face.
He feels embarrassed to even approach the second wife now.
Moreover, the second wife takes care of all the household chores, both inside and outside the house.
Madam Lü felt indignant: "Father, you're wrong to say that. Isn't she a member of the Shen family? Who in this family doesn't hand over their earnings to the public? The third son's monthly earnings from town are all turned over to the public. Why should the second son's family be allowed to pocket them?"
"Grandma, I want to eat meat. Please go to my second uncle's and get me some meat."
Shen Zhiyuan couldn't wait any longer. Although his father would occasionally sneak some food from town to buy for the third branch of the family, his father hadn't come back for several days now, and he was so hungry that he was tempted to go to his second uncle's house and snatch the meat away.
Looking at Shen Zhiyuan, he was so fat and bloated, he couldn't compare to the thin and small Shen Yuyan.
Madam Chen always doted on Shen Yuyuan, and she couldn't bear to see her grandson suffer.
"Fine, I'll go ask for it. They've gone too far! They have good food but don't know how to share it with their mother. They dare to lock themselves in and eat it. There's no justice in the world like this."
With Chen standing up for him, Old Man Shen didn't bother with anything else.
He was even hoping his wife would take the meat so he could have a taste.
It's really expensive to support a scholar in this family; he hasn't smelled meat in a long time either.
When the group arrived at the mud-brick house where the second wife lived, the second wife's family had already finished eating all the food on the table, while Shen Yuyan was still licking the plate clean.
When Chen saw that the plates on the table were clean, she was immediately filled with anger. She shouldn't have listened to the old man; she should have come over as soon as she smelled the meat.
"Second son's wife, do you know what the situation is like at home? You still dare to buy meat to eat? Even if you buy meat, you should give it to your parents first. How can you eat it behind closed doors? What family has this rule?"
Chen's words clearly carried a threat: the Shen family was already so poor, yet Zhou was still so greedy. If this matter wasn't explained clearly today, Zhou would be branded as a gluttonous woman.
Although she was illiterate, she understood the principle that "whether eating, sitting, or walking, the elders should go first, and the younger ones should follow."
She was a little angry today, so she didn't show any respect to her parents, and she felt somewhat guilty.
"Mother, let me explain..."
“What’s there to explain? Lambs kneel to suckle, crows feed their parents. I’ve raised you all for nothing. Your second branch dares to eat all the food by themselves. Let the villagers judge for themselves and see which family has such unfilial grandsons.”
