Her cloudy eyes swept over the two new wives, and she explained slowly, "Women are weak, and eating too many eggs is not good for them. It can easily cause internal heat and phlegm. Men are different. Men are the pillars of the family, so they need to eat well to have the strength to work."
Upon hearing this, Shen Qiqi's delicate brows knitted slightly, her heart already in turmoil.
This old lady is really biased!
She secretly glanced at the eggs in Lu Qing's bowl. The golden egg skin wrapped around the tender egg white, exuding an enticing aroma that made her saliva water.
A depressing atmosphere spread in the small kitchen, like a taut string that could break at any time.
Shen Qiqi took a deep breath, stood up suddenly, snatched the egg from Lu Qing's bowl, and in the astonished eyes of everyone, she peeled the eggshell in no time and stuffed it directly into her mouth.
"You...what are you doing?!" The old lady of the Lu family was so angry that her lips trembled, and her hand that was pointing at Shen Qiqi was shaking non-stop.
Shen Qiqi seemed to have suffered a great injustice, tears burst out instantly, crying like a pear blossom in the rain: "Grandma, I... I am weak, the doctor said I need to eat more good supplements... I... I am not afraid that you won't give me food, that's why... that's why..." She spoke intermittently, crying louder and louder, leaving everyone confused.
The old lady of the Lu family was caught off guard by her sudden action and didn't know how to refute for a moment.
The others were also stunned and looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.
Amidst the chaos, a deep voice rang out...
"Eat." Lu Qing's voice was low and powerful, with a hint of imperceptible doting.
He picked up a piece of meat from his bowl and put it in Shen Qiqi's bowl, "If it's not enough, there's more."
Hearing this, Shen Qiqi cried even louder, but she secretly glanced at the old lady of the Lu family. Seeing her face was ashen, she felt secretly happy.
She sobbed and ate the meat in small bites, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
The old man of the Lu family couldn't bear it any longer, so he coughed heavily and said, "Alright, the third daughter-in-law is weak, so it's only natural that she eats more. Don't just stand there, eat!"
With the old man's words, the old lady of the Lu family didn't know what to say. She just glared at Shen Qiqi fiercely.
Seeing this, Xu Jing's eyes rolled and a plan came to mind.
She imitated Shen Qiqi, stood up suddenly, snatched the egg from Lu Xingguo's bowl, stuffed it into her mouth, and said incoherently: "I... I am also weak..."
The old lady from the Lu family was so angry that she almost fainted. She pointed at Xu Jing with a trembling finger: "You...you..."
"Mom, let's eat. It's just eggs. I'll cook them tomorrow." Xu Jing said as she looked at the old lady of the Lu family provocatively.
Seeing this, the eldest and second daughters-in-law also looked at the old lady of the Lu family with a hint of expectation in their eyes.
Long Fengjiao lowered her head and ate the rice in the bowl silently, as if all this had nothing to do with her.
While no one was paying attention, Shen Qiqi secretly picked up a plump rabbit leg and hid it at the bottom of the bowl.
Xu Jing also imitated her and said to Lu Xingguo coquettishly: "I want to eat rabbit legs too..."
Lu Xingguo smiled helplessly, picked up a rabbit leg and put it in Xu Jing's bowl.
The scene became more chaotic, and the old lady Lu's expression became more and more ugly.
She slammed the table and yelled, "Shut up! Eat your meal!"
Everyone finally quieted down, but everyone had their own thoughts and undercurrents were stirring.
Shen Qiqi and Xu Jing looked at each other, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corners of their mouths.
"Tomorrow..." Xu Jing lowered her voice and said to Lu Xingguo, "If you lose to Qiqi in arm wrestling, don't go to bed tonight..."
