"If you lose to Qiqi in arm wrestling tomorrow, don't go to bed with me tonight..." Xu Jing's voice was sweet and coquettish, with a slight rise at the end, as if she was acting coquettishly, but also as if she was threatening.
Lu Xingguo felt itchy in his heart because of her tone, and secretly put the plump rabbit leg in his bowl into Xu Jing's bowl.
He was hoping for a lucky break. Qiqi's body was so small that it looked like it wasn't even as thick as his arm. How could he possibly lose?
Besides, even if he really lost, the worst that could happen is that he could just comfort his wife. When would Xu Jing really let him sleep on the floor?
Shen Qiqi and Xu Jing exchanged a knowing look, both of them with a cunning glint in their eyes.
On the surface, they still maintained a state of "not getting along". One ate slowly, pretending to be a lady from a noble family; the other gobbled up everything in a flash, as if she had been hungry for eight hundred years.
The old lady of the Lu family watched all this coldly, secretly thinking about how to set some rules for the two new daughters-in-law.
Shen Qiqi quickly finished gnawing on the rabbit leg hidden at the bottom of the bowl, licked her fingers with unsatisfied eyes, and glanced at the last rabbit leg left on the plate.
She quietly looked up at the others, but no one seemed to notice her "little action".
Good opportunity!
Shen Qiqi held her breath and stretched out her chopsticks...
Seeing this, Xu Jing smiled mischievously and coughed lightly, "Qiqi, these rabbit legs are too greasy. Eat less. They're not good for your skin..."
Shen Qiqi doesn't care whether it's greasy or not, or whether it's eternal youth or not. How can she let go of the delicious food that's in her mouth?
She was quick to pick up the rabbit leg and put it into her bowl, winking proudly at Xu Jing.
In the blink of an eye, the originally peaceful atmosphere at the table was instantly broken.
Several pairs of chopsticks reached out to the plate, all aiming for the last rabbit leg.
Boss Lu's wife was a step slower and watched the rabbit legs fall into Shen Qiqi's bowl, and she uttered a sound of annoyance.
Lu Laoer's wife was even more exaggerated. She stood up and stretched out her chopsticks to grab it, shouting, "Hey, hey, hey, this last one should be eaten by my little treasure!"
Wow, if you don’t know, you would think they are shooting a martial arts movie, with a “battle for chopsticks”!
Shen Qiqi held the bowl in her arms as if protecting her food, and looked around at everyone with a vigilant look like a little squirrel.
She picked up the rabbit leg and was about to put it in her mouth when suddenly, a pair of chopsticks hit her chopsticks heavily. With a crisp "pa" sound, the rabbit leg fell to the ground and rolled under the table.
This sudden change left everyone stunned.
Shen Qiqi slowly raised her head and met the old lady Lu's eyes that were full of disgust and dissatisfaction.
"You only know how to eat! Don't you even consider your own status? You're lazy and gluttonous, what a disgrace!" The old lady's voice was sharp and piercing, like a sword piercing Shen Qiqi's heart.
"Which of the daughters-in-law in our Lu family isn't hardworking and capable? But you're so arrogant on your first day! Do you think you deserve to eat this rabbit leg?!"
The air seemed to freeze, and the dining table was completely silent, with only the old lady's heavy breathing echoing.
Shen Qiqi's eyes gradually turned red. She bit her lower lip tightly, grievance and anger surging in her chest.
She wanted to refute and defend herself, but she swallowed the words back when they came to her lips.
In this strange era, in this hierarchical family, her words seemed so powerless and pale.
"Mom..." A low voice broke the silence.
Shen Qiqi looked at Lu Qing with tears in her eyes...
Lu Qing looked at Shen Qiqi's red eyes, feeling mixed emotions.
The mother's previous description of Shen Qiqi was very different from the scene before her.
He picked up a piece of meat and placed it in Shen Qiqi's bowl, then handed her his clean chopsticks. His tone was helpless yet contained a subtle hint of tolerance: "Use mine."
This weird atmosphere made Shen Qiqi a little confused, but the meat was really fragrant. She took the chopsticks and started eating.
Seeing this, the old lady of the Lu family's face became even gloomier. She was about to scold him, but she saw Lu Qing silently stand up, holding the chopsticks he had used and preparing to go out to wash them.
"Where are you going?" the old lady asked sternly.
"Wash the chopsticks." Lu Qing said concisely.
"Why are you washing them? They're just a few chopsticks, and you're going out to wash them? You're being so pretentious!" The old lady glared at him in dissatisfaction, "Sit down! Eat!"
"But..." Lu Qing wanted to explain, but was rudely interrupted by the old lady.
Seeing this, Shen Qiqi rolled her eyes, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and said innocently: "Grandma, Lu Qing's chopsticks are dirty, I think..." She paused deliberately, and seeing the old lady's sullen face, she felt secretly proud in her heart, and added, "Dirty."
“You…” The old lady was so angry that she was shaking all over, pointing at Shen Qiqi and unable to speak for a long time.
Shen Qiqi, however, acted as if nothing had happened. She picked up the chopsticks Lu Qing gave her and continued eating, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.
Lu Qing looked at the scene in front of him, sighed helplessly, and sat back silently.
“You…” The old lady pointed at Shen Qiqi with a trembling finger, “Just wait for me!”
Shen Qiqi just looked up at her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile.
"Ouch..." Shen Qiqi covered her stomach, her face suddenly turned pale, "My stomach..."
Shen Qiqi covered her stomach and groaned exaggeratedly several times, her face pale, as if she was about to faint in the next second.
"Oh, my stomach... I'm afraid I have an upset stomach..." She looked weakly at the old lady of the Lu family, with a barely perceptible hint of pride in her eyes.
