Chapter 17: Treat others in their own way
When Qian heard this, her eyes lit up and she thought to herself, this little bitch is quite good at changing with the times!
"What's the problem? Tell me!"
Chen Fenghe sighed and said:
"Second aunt, you don't know that although I caught the fish, I could have given it to the elders for free. However, the wild vegetables in the fish soup were picked by my brother and sister. Second aunt just said that they are both from outside the Qin family, not members of the Qin family, so it is naturally unreasonable for them to show respect to the elders of the Qin family. It is not right to give these wild vegetables without money. Moreover, now that the wild vegetables have been cooked into the fish soup, it is not right to give this fish soup to you, great-grandmother, second uncle, and second aunt!"
When Qian heard this, she was stunned.
What kind of fallacy is this?
"Chen Fenghe, your brother and sister, how can they be considered outsiders..." He was halfway through his words when he remembered that he had just called them a burden. He could only cough twice and said, "Even if your brother and sister are outsiders! You are too stupid, aren't you? How much is the fish worth? How much is the wild vegetables worth? Never mind! If your brother and sister want money, just give them a few copper coins! Two cents is enough!"
At the market, two cents can buy two fresh cabbages, and buying a few bitter and astringent wild vegetables will only benefit those two little guys!
Chen Fenghe looked at her without a trace of smile in her eyes, but her tone was still soft and weak: "Second Aunt, two cents is not enough! Yichuan, tell this aunt how much the wild vegetables you picked cost?"
Although Shen Yichuan was young, he had lived in the Shen family's environment of a scumbag father and a wicked stepmother for more than half a year. Of course, he could see that this woman was planning to take away their fish soup. Therefore, he immediately understood Shen Fenghe's expression and said in a childish voice:
"As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable! Wild vegetables are incredibly valuable while we're in exile! Qingxing and I won't sell them for less than ten taels of silver!"
"Ten taels! Why don't you just go and rob it!" Qian shouted angrily after hearing this.
What kind of crappy wild vegetable could be worth ten taels?
Chen Fenghe sighed and said, "Second Aunt, look at what you said. Didn't you just sell a five-cent meat pie for four taels of silver? The principle is the same!"
Qian was speechless for a long time. Only then did she understand that Chen Fenghe had never intended to give her the fish soup from the beginning. He was clearly making fun of her!
"Okay! Chen Fenghe! You are making fun of me! Just wait! If I can't deal with you, someone else will!"
Having said that, he glared at Chen Fenghe fiercely, turned around and went back angrily to get help.
She was a bully who only feared the strong. Chen Fenghe was still holding the firewood stick she had just used! She wasn't stupid. There was no reason for her to get beaten just for the rest of the Qin family to drink fish soup!
Qin Mengyue looked at the Qian family's background and became a little worried. She said to Shen Fenghe, "Fenghe, this... isn't right. We'll still need them for the journey. How about filling two bowls of fish soup and sending them to your great-grandmother and second uncle?"
Chen Fenghe interrupted Qin Mengyue and said, "Mom, we can worry about the future later. For now, they clearly want to take away the pot. Can you bear to let Hao'er, Yichuan, and Qingxing go hungry without a single drink?"
After saying this, Qin Mengyue looked at Xiao Yunhao and Shen Yichuan, the brother and sister, who were looking at her eagerly. She felt distressed and said nothing more.
As Chen Fenghe spoke, she had already filled three bowls of soup, each with plenty of fish meat. She handed them to the three little guys and said, "Here, be careful not to burn your mouths. Let it cool before drinking."
The three little guys immediately took it obediently, pouted their little lips happily, blew on it and started drinking.
Chen Fenghe and Qin Mengyue had to wait until the three little ones finished drinking and vacated their bowls before they could serve themselves some drink.
At this moment, the Qin family had already seen from afar that Qian had returned empty-handed.
Qin Lizheng's face turned black. This Qin Mengyue actually turned away the eldest daughter-in-law from her mother's family and made her return empty-handed. It was obvious that she didn't take their first wife seriously!
He stood up suddenly and rushed over with his son Qin Jian in a menacing manner!
"You ungrateful bastard! You still think you're the queen, high and mighty! You won't even give me a bowl of fish soup? Fine! Jian'er, smash all their pots and pans! No one else can drink from it!"
Qin Jian received the order and immediately responded arrogantly, "Yes, Dad!"
As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves and was about to kick over the simple stove built by Chen Fenghe!
Chen Fenghe sneered and pretended to straighten her sleeves. Then, an anesthetic needle shot out with a "whoosh" sound and hit Qin Jian's left leg.
The dosage of anesthetic used this time is not large enough to make a person unconscious. It will only make his muscles partially numb for a moment.
Therefore, before Qin Jian could kick the fish soup pot, his left leg fell to the ground with a thud!
"Ouch! Dad! My legs! My legs are out of control!" Qin Jian shouted in horror.
Qin Lizheng thought his son was a coward and fell on purpose, so he was so angry that he slapped him: "Useless thing! Get out of here!"
As he said that, he raised his foot and kicked over.
Chen Fenghe felt a little sorry for her anesthetic.
She didn't have much stored in her space.
Although there were traditional Chinese medicines such as Ma Fei San in ancient times that could replace this thing, it was not as effective as the anesthetics in modern medicine. She used a lot of it when she emptied the imperial palace and the Shangshu Mansion last time.
I'll have to save it for future use.
Just as he was about to give Qin Lizheng an injection, he suddenly cried out "Ouch!" and fell to the ground!
Then, Yuan Xun's voice rang out: "What are you doing! Have you rested enough? Are you here looking for trouble? Don't you know that these pots and bowls belong to us brothers? Can you afford to pay for them if I kick them to pieces? What a coward! Bullying women and children!"
Qin Lizheng was used to being an official, but now he had to endure the bullying of a minor official. How could he bear it? Just as he was about to explode, he suddenly heard a cold shout.
