Chapter 16 A sumptuous dinner
Captain Liang stood not far away and glanced at her lightly. His silence frightened Song.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through her mind, whether he would hit her, and her family...
The more I thought about it, the more scared I became, and finally tears came to my eyes.
She cried and begged for mercy: "Captain Liang, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again."
Luo Wenhong was watching from the side, as were Luo Wei and Luo Dan. However, Luo Xin, who was always criticized for not being ambitious, kowtowed and pleaded for Song.
Seeing this, Captain Liang just said "It's time to eat" and turned away.
Chang Wu glanced at her coldly: "You don't have to eat dinner!"
It's just that their leader is kind-hearted. If it were someone else, he would have been furious without even giving him a few beatings!
After the people walked away, Song's body went limp and she collapsed to the ground.
The door creaked open.
Tian came out with a gloomy face, and Prince Luo also looked unhappy.
Zhu Mingqing immediately looked at the crumpled paper in his hand, feeling uneasy, wondering if this had been discussed.
She wanted to sign the separation agreement, go out for dinner, and then go back to her room to rest.
But Old Prince Luo did not hear her voice, but looked at everyone in the Luo family with a serious face and announced:
"The Luo family will never split up. If anyone proposes splitting up again in the future, I will not let them off lightly."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Mingqing immediately felt powerless.
After all this fuss, we're still stuck where we are.
The old princess is so useless!
The second wife looked disappointed. Even at this point, her father still refused to divide the family property.
Is a big house so important?
The third and fourth wives had a good attitude. They were not as favored as the second wife anyway, so it didn't matter much to them whether the family was divided or not.
"Let's go eat." Old Prince Luo said and was about to leave.
Everyone turned around and followed him towards the kitchen.
"Mother!"
Suddenly, Luo Wenhong let out a shrill yell, and everyone stopped again.
As he looked over, he saw Tian running towards a pillar not far away.
He had a determined look on his face, as if he was going to never come back.
Luo Huai was the closest, and he rushed forward and hugged Tian as soon as Luo Wenhong shouted.
I was hit so hard that I almost vomited blood.
Zhu Mingqing hurried forward to separate the two and check if Luo Huai was injured.
"I'm fine." Luo Huai shook his head.
Luo Wenhong and Song also helped Tian. They looked frightened and asked:
"Mother, what are you doing?"
"That's right, no matter what you think, you can't gamble with your life."
Song had a sad face and glanced towards Old Prince Luo as she spoke.
Tian leaned on her second daughter-in-law's shoulder and cried bitterly, "Mother is so miserable. She has lived for so many years in vain. It would be better if she died. Living means she has to look after others' faces."
Old Prince Luo's hand holding the paper trembled slightly.
He knew that his wife was threatening him.
If the family doesn't split up, she will really bang her head against the wall.
But how would he explain to Tingshan after the family split up?
Old Prince Luo was in great torment. His palms and backs of his hands were all made of flesh. What should he do?
He was feeling worried, but when he looked up, he saw the expectant expression on the second wife's face, as if she couldn't wait to split up.
He looked at his grandson Luo Huai again, who also wanted to divide the family business.
They are now disgusted with each other. If he insists on not separating the family, the conflict will probably become more and more serious.
Well, since that’s the case, then let’s just do as they wish.
"Mingqing, are you sure you want to divide the family?" He looked at the eldest wife seriously.
Zhu Mingqing noticed that his stubborn thoughts were slowly wavering, and nodded slightly, saying, "Huai'er's meaning is what I mean."
"Do you agree to this agreement?"
"agree."
"Okay..." He sighed heavily, his voice old and weak: "Then sign it."
For this moment, Zhu Mingqing had already prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
The division agreement was made in two copies, one for the eldest wife and one in the hands of Prince Luo.
Everyone signed and sealed the agreement neatly, and the division of property was completed.
Having successfully achieved their goal, Tian was so excited that she almost cried, and Song also lowered her head to hide her smile.
It was worth their while to put on this show.
A perfect harvest!
Zhu Mingqing was in great joy and took out some red bean and lotus cakes to share with the children to celebrate.
"Come on, one piece each, let's all try it."
The smile on Song's face froze.
Tian: ...Where did she get the pastries?
…
The station canteen.
Today's dinner has an extra bowl of cabbage soup than yesterday, but it is still watery.
Everyone lined up to get their rice. When it was Zhu Mingqing's turn, Chang Wu put down his rice spoon and walked into the next room.
At the same time, he did not forget to say, "Madam, these are not for you to eat."
Song smiled gloatingly: "Oh, I guess there won't be any dinner."
I guess I can only starve with her.
But as soon as he finished speaking, Chang Wu brought a sumptuous dinner and placed it on the table next to him.
"Ma'am, this is your dinner."
The smile in Song's eyes slowly disappeared.
The attention of everyone who was eating was attracted by Chang Wu's voice.
I saw a clean table, almost full of food.
Dried bean curd in chicken soup, steamed eggs, bamboo shoots fried with bacon, and the braised pork that she taught Chang Wu, three dishes and one soup, all for her alone.
In addition, there were three or five different kinds of pastries and cut apples.
The fact that they could prepare these meals in such a simple post station showed that they really put in the effort.
"Master Chang, these... are all for me?" Zhu Mingqing was a little surprised.
She thought that if Captain Liang didn't show up today, it would be a help to her.
I didn’t expect there would be a surprise for dinner.
"You don't have to call me Lord Chang. Just call me Xiao Wu from now on." Chang Wu said embarrassedly, "I'll have to trouble you a lot in the future, Madam."
Zhu Mingqing immediately understood what he meant.
This meal was not for free. First, we wanted to thank her for the supplies she provided, and second, we wanted to thank her for her cooking skills.
Sure enough, Chang Wu continued, "We are still very far from the city gate. If Madam doesn't mind, could you teach me some more cooking skills so that we can improve our food in the future?"
Normally, these people shouldn't be so polite to her, but maybe she was lucky, and the officials she met were of good character.
Even if he didn't tell her, she would teach him.
She doesn't want to cook for so many people every day.
"Okay." Zhu Mingqing agreed immediately and said with a smile, "Then I won't be polite."
Chang Wu said happily, "You eat."
Zhu Mingqing picked up a piece of meat and was about to eat it when he thought of something and turned around to look.
The others had stopped eating and were looking at this side with green eyes.
The aroma of food wafted across the room, and for a moment the whole room was filled with the sound of rumbling stomachs.
Song was incredulous. "Sir, why is the meal so rich?"
Chang Wu snorted, "They bought this themselves. If you have the guts, buy some and eat it too."
"Impossible, where did she get the silver?" Song's first reaction was to suspect that she had stolen something, but where could she get the silver to steal?
