Chapter 16 Pills or syrup? Remember to add plenty of chili, cumin, and sugar!



Shi Yu's sarcastic remark directly embarrassed Shi Mianzhi.

His handsome face, which had been beaming with smiles as he greeted the God of Wealth, suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, as if he had encountered a god of misfortune.

However, he recently received a promotion and was in high spirits, so he decided to let bygones be bygones for a little girl like her.

He continued speaking, raising his hand in invitation.

"My brothers-in-law rarely come here, so I've already ordered the kitchen to prepare. We'll have dinner together later."

He Jiahe wanted to refuse, but Shi Mianzhi seemed to have seen through his intentions.

He stepped forward, grabbed He Jiahe's wrist, and was more enthusiastic than before.

What a joke! These are two gods of wealth.

He couldn't possibly let them escape right under his nose, could he?

Despite Shi Mianzhi's recent success, having married the daughter of a wealthy family and been promoted to a higher position, and having a daughter, it's hard to believe he's doing well.

But the money was spent like water.

In the past, if He Qiuniang had provided the money, he would naturally have looked down on his two brothers-in-law.

That's because He Qiuniang is currently in postpartum confinement and hasn't been taking care of the household affairs lately.

Oh dear, my two uncles, why didn't you run faster!

Shi Yu looked at him with a face full of disappointment and frustration.

My scumbag dad is so broke lately he's practically selling his underwear.

He'll ask you for money later, so please don't give it to him!

Shi Mianzhi's lips twitched.

How does his youngest daughter know everything?

I wonder if his two brothers-in-law heard what his youngest daughter was thinking.

But who cares if they heard it or not?

He would pretend he couldn't hear them as long as they didn't speak.

With this thought in mind, Shi Mianzhi's shamelessness increased by another three points.

He immediately pulled He Jia and his two brothers towards the front hall.

[Mommy, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and protect your two uncles' wallets!]

Why bother eating? This food costs money.

[Your two uncles may not know what kind of scumbag your father is, but you certainly do!]

Shi Yu was thrilled in Chunhua's embrace.

He Qiuniang immediately understood what Shi Yu was thinking.

She stepped forward and blocked Shi Mianzhi and the others' path.

"It's really kind of you, sir, to put in such a thoughtful effort."

"However, my two elder brothers have other matters to attend to, so I'm afraid they cannot stay here for dinner."

Upon hearing He Qiuniang's words, He Jiahe and He Wanxing, the brothers, realized what was happening and their faces turned cold.

He Jiahe said, "Lord Shi, you should invite Lord Wei's family to eat this meal instead."

He Wanxing said, "That's right. We are a merchant family, and we reek of money. We won't stay in your house and bother you."

As the two brothers spoke, they simultaneously pulled Shi Mianzhi's hand away.

He Jiahe said, "Lord Shi, when my Qiu Niang married you, you were just a poor scholar."

"If it weren't for the He family spending a lot of money on you."

"Do you think you could have achieved what you have today so easily?"

He Wanxing said, "Even dogs know how to be grateful, but some people aren't even animals."

"Lord Shi, if you really think that my Qiu Niang is old and faded, an eyesore to you, and not good enough for you."

"Then let's get a divorce."

"So as not to jeopardize your future."

"We wouldn't mind helping you raise your children."

"As long as Lord Shi is willing to divorce."

"Divorce? Don't even think about it!" Shi Mianzhi's eyes were gloomy.

He Qiuniang is his cash cow.

How could he possibly give up so easily?

"Qiu Niang, I've only married a woman, why are you so angry?"

Shi Mianzhi looked at He Qiuniang with disappointment.

He put on airs, he was a theatrical performer, he was really acting.

"I only have true love for you."

"We've been married for over ten years, don't you understand me?"

"My marriage to Wei Yanyan was merely a temporary measure to help me get promoted."

"Didn't you say before that you envied those who wore the robes of imperial consorts?"

"I'm forcing myself to marry a woman I don't like, all to fulfill your ideals."

Holy crap!

Nestled in He Qiuniang's arms, Shi Yu immediately swore.

[What a great actor that scumbag dad is!]

[Mom, please don't listen to that scumbag father.]

He's lying to you.

He doesn't like you; he's clearly after your money.

He married two wives: one to bear children and provide financial support, and the other to ensure he got promoted while still young.

[This person enjoys the blessing of having multiple wives; no one else can compare.]

Look how earnestly he spoke, how eloquently he uttered those words.

Would he dare say that to Wei Yanyan's face?

He Qiuniang hugged Shi Yu and pulled away from Mi Zhi.

She glanced at her daughter in her arms and asked.

"Do you dare say those words again in front of Wei Yanyan?"

Shi Mian was taken aback: This woman actually dared to take him seriously.

However, his acting has always been excellent; otherwise, how could he have fooled He Qiuniang for so many years?

“Qiu Niang, of course I dare to say it in front of Wei Yanyan.”

"However, not now."

“Wei Yanyan is the daughter of a wealthy and powerful family. If I show too much favoritism towards you, it will not be good for you or the child.”

"I'm doing all this to protect you and the child. Why don't you understand my good intentions?"

This dad is such a scumbag, even a bandage can't contain him.

My dear mother, you must stay calm.

Not long ago, this scumbag father conspired with the old lady to have Wei Yanyan get rid of you and take over your dowry.

[Mom, this is a case of a wife-murderer, specifically designed to eliminate those with romantic fantasies.]
