I still can't eat it.
Both Lian and Liu spat out the food in their mouths.
Su Changshui's eyes were bloodshot: "Why can't I eat it! Big brother, I still can't eat it."
Su Chang'an knew it after just one bite of the braised pork, and he silently spat it out.
At this moment, a servant came in tremblingly to report.
"Reporting to Your Excellency, Miss is not eating anything; she hasn't touched any of the food..."
Qin Jin'an refused to eat, and they dared not force her to eat, nor did they dare to approach her at all.
I tried to persuade them again and again, but all my kind words were useless. I had no choice but to come and report it, but it seemed that my masters already knew.
"What is she trying to do? Is she going to starve herself to death?"
Su Changshui was furious, but at the same time he was also afraid.
That's no ordinary child. It's probably impossible for someone else to let her starve to death, but it's possible for her.
Recalling the blood she coughed up when she was rescued, Su Changshui grew increasingly frightened. He was right beside her at the time and knew it was real blood, which is why he truly believed her.
She's only four years old, though she'll be five soon.
But she's still a child. They've been hungry for two days and are all exhausted, but she can still endure it. She's ruthless enough to be frightening.
"Dad, I'm hungry..."
Su Jinbao looked at his favorite eggs with teary eyes, tears streaming down his face. He couldn't understand why, which he used to be able to eat, now it felt like eating stones or needles.
It's too tough to chew and too hard to swallow.
"Uncle, I'm hungry too..."
Su Jingui was also in tears.
Both Old Man Su and Old Lady Yang looked pale and sickly.
Su Yu'e, Liu Shi, and Lian Shi weren't much better off. Everyone's eyes lit up at the sight of the food, but they couldn't eat it.
Su Chang'an took a deep breath, stood up, and said, "I'll go take a look."
Su Chang'an came to the outside of the courtyard again, and he took a few deep breaths before going in.
There was a table full of untouched food.
Su Chang'an looked at Qin Jin'an sitting not far away and said, "Do you know that wasting food is shameful?"
Qin Jin'an looked at Su Chang'an, shook her head and said, "Scumbag father, I didn't waste it. This is not what I wanted. This was arranged by you. You didn't even ask me what I wanted to eat. So it is you who are shameful to waste food, not me."
Don't try to morally condemn her; she may be young, but she's not stupid.
If merits are to be deducted, it should be deducted from them.
She trusts and cherishes those who love her without reservation.
She would never give anyone who didn't love her and only wanted to take advantage of her any chance.
Qin Jin'an spoke with great conviction, and Su Chang'an's lips twitched, unable to find the words to refute her.
He clenched his fist, looked at Qin Jin'an, and suddenly changed his tone to ask, "So, what do you want to eat?"
The most important thing now is to eat.
She's so sharp-tongued, he can't argue with her, so he'll just go along with her, right?
Let her choose what she wants to eat; if she doesn't eat it, then she's wasting food.
Qin Jin'an smiled sweetly and said, "Scumbag dad, I don't want to eat anything, I don't want to eat anything."
Hearing her words, Su Chang'an's lips twitched with anger again. He stepped forward, raised his hand, and said furiously, "I have to teach you a lesson!"
They actually made fun of him; it's simply unacceptable.
But before he could get close, he tripped over himself and fell down.
Qin Jin'an was afraid he would get even a little too close to her, so she took two steps back in disgust.
Su Chang'an's head hit the ground with a thud. He gritted his teeth, propped himself up with his hands, and stared intently at Qin Jin'an.
"Are you trying to starve yourself to death? You torment us, and our deaths are always because of you. You'll be burdened with sins because of the lives you've taken."
Su Chang'an said through gritted teeth, desperately suppressing his urge to attack.
You can't hit her, you can't touch her.
If she's having a hard time, her whole family will suffer too.
"You won't starve to death. You'll only eat once every four days. You won't die."
Qin Jin'an held up one finger and casually described her plan.
Su Chang'an's vision went black, and he almost ground his back teeth to powder, but he didn't know what to do.
He left angrily, followed by that devilish laughter.
"Goodbye, you scumbag dad, hahaha... come see me again next time!"
The sound was so grating that Su Chang'an wanted nothing more than to slap her to pieces.
But he knew that if he didn't kill her, he would fall to his death first.
In the past, all of this was kept hidden on the surface. No one thought she was sinister or unapproachable, and when she gained benefits, she didn't want to admit it and would only secretly rejoice.
But now, everything is out in the open; she is so difficult to deal with.
Su Chang'an returned to the main hall, where everyone stared at him expectantly.
Su Chang'an didn't look at them, but said coldly, "Let's leave first. She's determined to punish us; we'll only eat once every four days..."
They couldn't decide when they could eat it.
The family stared at each other blankly.
Upon hearing that they still couldn't eat, Su Jingui and Su Jinbao started wailing again; they were starving...
The whole family was dejected, like eggplants that had been frostbitten.
To be surrounded by a large house, looking at the delicious food, yet unable to eat it—what torture that must be!
Su Chang'an didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.
November 22nd.
Qin Jin'an finally ate something.
The Su family members carefully picked up a piece of food with their chopsticks and put it in their mouths, and soon their faces lit up with joy.
"It's ready to eat."
Su Chang'an spoke up, and even without him saying so, everyone started eating.
Su Jingui and Su Jinbao each held a chicken leg in their left hand and a braised pig's trotter in their right, munching away on it.
Finally, we got to eat, and everyone had a hearty meal.
After they finished eating, Su Chang'an said, "Everyone, get ready to welcome Miss Qian."
Qian Min arrived at noon today, and naturally she's going to stay here.
"Has your sister-in-law arrived?"
Su Changshui muttered something.
Su Chang'an nodded.
Qian Min didn't want to come here. She should have arrived yesterday, but she deliberately delayed for another day on the road.
She made no attempt to look down on him. Su Chang'an felt a lot of resentment when he thought of Qian Min, but he could only endure it for the sake of his future.
"What are you standing there for? Get ready and don't be impolite."
Old Man Su roared.
Old Mrs. Yang shuddered, then quickly got up and left with her two grandsons.
Su Yu'e and the others went back to their respective courtyards to tidy up.
Su Chang'an naturally had to deal with it as well.
At noon, the whole family waited outside the gate.
From afar, a luxurious carriage could be seen heading towards the Su residence. Old Madam Yang's eyes widened in astonishment. Even the carriage was so luxurious; they must be incredibly wealthy.
Su Yu'e also showed a happy expression. This sister-in-law was so rich, and pleasing her would definitely bring many benefits.
Lian and Liu looked at each other, feeling not happy but sad. Another troublemaker had arrived. With Old Madam Yang's temper, she was going to test their authority as the matriarch once again.
