She secretly glanced at Song Zhe out of the corner of her eye and saw that he was eating with his head down, his expression calm, as if he was not the one who had just been angry.
Chen Xiaoru secretly breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it into her mouth.
The rabbit meat was stewed until tender and melted in her mouth. The rich aroma filled her mouth, making her squint her eyes. This tasted better than any delicacies she had ever tasted in her previous life!
Song Qingqing felt even worse when she saw Chen Xiaoru enjoying herself.
She glared at Chen Xiaoru angrily, but didn't dare to say anything. She could only bury her head in the rice in the bowl, and occasionally glanced at Song Zhe, her eyes full of grievance and unwillingness.
Mother Song saw all of this. She sighed softly, picked up the largest piece of rabbit leg, and tremblingly put it into Song Zhe's bowl. There was a trace of moisture in the corners of her eyes, and her voice was a little choked:
"Zhe'er, eat more meat. Look how skinny you are."
Song Zhe's nose felt sore, and he nodded while holding back his tears, his voice low and hoarse: "Thank you, mother."
He also picked up a piece of rabbit meat and gently placed it in Mother Song's bowl. He looked at her tenderly and said, "Mother, you have worked hard during my illness. Eat more."
Then, he picked up another piece for Song Qingshan, patted his shoulder, and said sincerely: "Qingshan, you eat too. Thanks to your care during this period."
Finally, he picked up a piece for Song Qingqing as well, and said lovingly, "Qingqing, eat quickly."
Song Qingqing thought that Big Brother wouldn't pick it up for her, but unexpectedly...it seems that Big Brother still cares about her. Was I really wrong before?
"Xiao Yu, just feel at ease staying here with your brother-in-law. Don't feel restrained, okay?" Song Zhe turned to look at Xiao Yu, a gentle smile on his face, and said softly.
"Yeah, yeah, thank you, brother-in-law!" Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling like two twinkling stars.
The meal ended like this. Everyone was eating happily, except Song Qingqing, who seemed to be eating absent-mindedly. From time to time, she looked up at Chen Xiaoru, then at Song Zhe, with complicated eyes. Her heart was like a pot of five flavors overturned, with sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty flavors.
After dinner, Song Qingshan took the initiative to clean up the dishes, while Chen Xiaoru took Song Zhe back to the room.
"Husband, I'm going to get some water to wash, wait for me!" Chen Xiaoru said mischievously.
"Well, go ahead, I'll read for a while," said Song Zhe.
After Chen Xiaoru left, Song Zhe slowly walked to the desk and sat down, holding the "Mencius" in his hand, but he didn't turn a page for a long time, his mind was obviously not on the book.
Song Qingqing walked slowly to Chen Zhe's room and knocked on the door. "Knock, knock, knock."
"Enter"
Song Qingqing walked up to Song Zhe with her head lowered, twisting the corner of her clothes with her fingers, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated.
"Qingqing, is there something wrong?" Song Zhe put down the book, looked up at her with gentle eyes.
"Brother..." Song Qingqing bit her lip, her voice as thin as a mosquito, "Did I...did I...really do something wrong?"
Song Zhe was silent for a moment, then sighed softly. His voice was low and helpless. "Qingqing, you are still young, and there are some things you may not understand. But you must remember that Chen Xiaoru is now my wife, and I will never allow anyone to hurt her. Family members should support and understand each other, not be suspicious of each other and hurt each other. Do you understand?"
"But...but I..." Song Qingqing's tears welled up in her eyes. She bit her lips tightly and twisted the corners of her clothes tightly with her hands. She wanted to explain, but it seemed like thousands of words were stuck in her throat and she couldn't say a word.
"Okay, don't think too much."
Song Zhe gently reached out his hand and ruffled her hair lightly, his tone full of doting.
"Let the past be the past. In fact, I don't like Cheng Rongrong at all. Let's not mention this matter again in the future. I don't want your sister-in-law to be angry because of her. Do you understand?"
Song Qingqing suddenly raised her head, and looked at Song Zhe's eyes full of concern with tears in her eyes. Finally, she couldn't help crying, and choked with sobs, saying: "Brother, I'm sorry... I will never do it again..."
"Well, I'm glad to know. A harmonious family is the key to success. Harmony is the most important thing." The corners of Song Zhe's mouth rose slightly, revealing a relieved smile.
"Okay, I'll remember it and I won't do it again. Then... then I'll go out first." Song Qingqing sobbed and turned around to leave.
"Go." Song Zhe nodded.
Song Qingqing closed the door gently and turned to leave.
Song Zhe looked at his sister's departing figure, feeling mixed emotions. He didn't understand why Qingqing was so repulsive to Xiaoru, but it was fine as it was now. He just hoped that they could live in peace in the future.
Chen Xiaoru walked into the room carrying a bucket of water and happened to meet Song Qingqing coming out. Song Qingqing glared at Chen Xiaoru fiercely and left quickly.
Chen Xiaoru stood there in a daze, frowning, thinking to herself: "I didn't do anything, why is she treating me like this?" She shook her head and stopped thinking about it.
Walking into the bathroom, Chen Xiaoru poured water into the tub and took out the new clothes Song's mother had given her that afternoon from the closet. She hummed a little tune and began to untie her clothes.
"Xiao Ru, what are you doing?"
Song Zhe's low voice suddenly sounded behind him, with a hint of teasing.
Chen Xiaoru was so frightened that her hands loosened and her belt fell to the ground with a snap.
She suddenly remembered that Song Zhe was still reading in the room! Shame surged into her heart like a tide. She felt her cheeks burning like fire, and her words began to stutter: "I, I... I forgot you were still in the room."
