Chapter 25: She is so pitiful
The owner of the farmhouse took them to the backyard to find chickens. "Our chickens are all raised in the mountains. They run hard and have delicious and chewy meat. You have come to the right place."
Shu Yue looked at the chickens that were lying on the ground motionless and looked suspicious.
"Boss, your chickens look old. The meat must be tough and taste bad."
The boss, who was found out at a glance, touched his nose in embarrassment.
"This place is remote, and there are not many guests coming to our farmhouse. If it weren't for the recent opening of a mountain resort that has attracted many distinguished guests, we would have planned to stop this year. These are old hens. There are younger ones behind. We will cook whichever one we catch."
The boss pointed casually, and the chickens that were eating grass on the hillside seemed to sense something and ran away.
Shu Quan grew up in an aristocratic circle and had never seen such a scene before. He was very far away from it.
"You guys go catch them, I'll watch over Niao Niao."
Shu Yue looked at Fu Jingshen next to him and said, "Boss Fu, I'll do this kind of work."
Fu Jingshen walked in without caring about the mud on the ground, "I'm not that squeamish."
Shu Yue stared at his back and shrugged.
[Yes, although he grew up in the Fu family, he has experienced so many things since he was a child, and he knows a little bit about everything. He is not as delicate as my eldest brother, who has never done housework. His hands can only hold a scalpel and have never been to the kitchen. 】
Shu Quan felt as if a thorn had inexplicably pierced his heart.
"I suddenly want to give it a try."
He abandoned Qin Niaoniao and plunged headfirst into it.
Qin Niaoniao was puzzled. What ability did Shu Yue have that could make these two men of noble status accompany her to go into the chicken coop and catch chickens?
As soon as they entered, the chickens started running wildly, flapping their wings and running everywhere. Shu Yue aimed at a chicken and when he rushed over to catch it, he bumped into Fu Jingshen and Shu Quan. His head felt dizzy from the collision, and the chicken still ran away.
"Don't just look at this one, there are so many more."
They always like the same chicken as me, but they always let it slip away.
"Forget it, both of you stop doing it, I'll do it, okay?"
[It really gets in the way.] 】
The two troublesome people looked at each other and quickly turned their heads away.
Fu Jingshen hugged his chest and looked at Shu Yue, somewhat unbelieving her, "Can you catch it?"
"Yueyue, if you really can't catch it, let the boss come. We are here to eat, not to catch chickens."
"Isn't this the fun of farm stays? Believe me, I can catch it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shu Yue bent down and raised his hand to grab it, and his movement was extremely swift and efficient.
“Chuckle, chuckle.”
The hen flapped its wings in protest in her hands.
"See, I told you I could catch it."
"sharp."
Shu Quan smiled and gave a thumbs up.
I didn't know she had this ability.
[That's right. When I was a kid, I helped my grandmother catch chickens a lot. We had to get up at five o'clock to catch chickens and rush to the market to sell them. We also had to pluck the feathers and kill the chickens. For me, it was as easy as drinking boiled water. Unfortunately, I don't know who poisoned all the chickens in our house, which made my grandmother sad for a long time. During that time, we even had trouble getting food. 】
Thinking of her grandma, Shu Yue could hardly hide the sadness on her face.
[I don’t know how grandma is doing now that she is not around. 】
Fu Jingshen and Shu Quan felt that she was in a bad mood and lowered their heads.
Was it so difficult for her as a child? I can't even afford to eat.
In the yard, the sun was shining brightly, so the boss brought in a parasol to block the sunlight, and everyone felt a little more comfortable.
Fu Jingshen washed the dishes with tea and placed them in front of Shu Yue. Shu Quan narrowed his eyes when he saw this.
Why is Fu Jingshen so nice to Shu Yue?
According to Shu Yue, the person he likes should be Qin Niaoniao, but now he has no feelings for Qin Niaoniao, but feels nice to Shu Yue instead.
When Shu Quan analyzed the situation, he glanced at Qin Niaoniao beside him. Her eyes were fixed on Fu Jingshen and never moved away.
Shu Quan couldn't help but narrow his eyes and look carefully at Fu Jingshen opposite him. What was the charm of this Fu Jingshen?
But no matter what charm he had, he would not let his two sisters have anything to do with him.
The water in the Fu family's house was very deep. Even if the soles of your shoes were wet, you would lose half your life.
"The food is here!"
The boss brought out the dishes one by one, including the fish caught by Fu Jingshen and the chicken caught by Shu Yue. They were all delicious and tasty, and just the smell of them made one's stomach rumble.
Shu Yue couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and stare at the chicken leg, but out of politeness she didn't move her chopsticks immediately, knowing that Fu Jingshen had discovered her target.
"Eat it."
As soon as he finished speaking, the only two chicken legs fell into Shu Yue's bowl.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu, for the treat."
Seeing her wolfing down her food, Shu Quan frowned slightly, "I've always told you that you should eat with manners. After all, you're a girl, you should pay attention to your image."
"I know, I know."
Shu Yue said that she understood, but actually she had no intention of slowing down.
[I have never had enough to eat since I was a child. If I don't rush to grab food and eat quickly when eating at school, it will never be my turn to get a second round of free food. It has become a habit, and I want to eat quickly when I'm hungry. What can I do? 】
Shu Quan was about to say something, but when he heard her true feelings, he stopped talking.
Did he go a little too far?
"Eat slowly and don't choke. No one will compete with you for the food here."
Fu Jingshen gave the second chicken leg to Shu Yue.
Qin Niaoniao thought, could it be that Fu Jingshen likes girls with this kind of bold and unrestrained personality?
So she also started to imitate Shu Yue and eat with big mouthfuls, but she ate too quickly and choked herself. Fortunately, Shu Quan was beside her and patted her on the back, so she ate smoothly.
"Why do you eat so fast?"
Qin Niaoniao took a sip of water, looking a little embarrassed. She would never admit that she wanted to imitate Shu Yue just now.
She glanced and saw a group of people coming not far away, among whom the most conspicuous was Fu Heming.
It's him again.
"Boss, do you have any special dishes to recommend?"
Hearing the sound, Shu Yue looked over while gnawing on a chicken leg. It was that group of people again. Why were they there wherever they went?
The man who raised his hand to ask for the menu had a cufflink on his sleeve, which was exquisitely crafted with an iris logo.
Shu Yue paused for a moment as she gnawed the chicken leg.
[Iris is the emblem of the Shangguan family. The Shangguan family was Fu Heming's greatest helper in his later years. They were powerful and did some shady business. However, Fu Heming and Qin Niaoniao only got to know the Shangguan family after they arrived in Beijing. How could they appear in advance? 】
Shangguan family?
When Fu Heming and Shu Quan heard this, they looked up almost immediately, and there was disbelief in each other's eyes.
