Chapter 257 He Zhaodi's Plea
That night, it was already dark.
There was a gentle knock on the door of the Song family courtyard.
Xiao Meng had been sitting in the living room waiting, holding Pudding and looking out the door from time to time.
She remembered that her sister was coming.
The fish fillet in the pot had already been stewed and was kept warm over low heat, waiting for them to eat.
Hearing the knock on the door, Xiao Meng jumped up immediately and trotted to open the door.
Bai Wei had fallen asleep, but woke up when she heard the knock on the door.
Song Qinian was practicing calligraphy. His handwriting was ugly, as Bai Wei had said. Now he practiced calligraphy in his free time, and his handwriting had improved significantly.
"woke up?"
Song Qinian put down his pen, walked to the bed and asked softly.
Bai Wei closed his eyes and listened to the footsteps outside the yard and Xiao Meng's clear voice.
"Big sister, please go inside and wait for a moment. The chef has already prepared the fish. I will serve it to you and get you some bowls and chopsticks."
He Zhaodi didn't come alone, she also brought her four younger sisters.
Xiao Meng welcomed the five people into the living room like a little host, then she turned and ran to the kitchen.
He Zhaodi didn't say anything, just looked at Xiao Meng's back.
If she had agreed to Bai Wei at the beginning, would she be the one living a good life now?
But it doesn't matter. Since she has missed an opportunity, she has to fight for the next one on her own.
"Come on, sit down."
He Zhaodi pulled Yingdi and others and asked them to sit at the table.
The sixth sister was still mute, and He Zhaodi loved her the most, so she held her and put her on the bench.
Bai Wei had already put on her clothes, and Song Qinian supported her and walked out of the bedroom together.
"Captain Song! Sister Bai Wei..."
As soon as she saw the two people, He Zhaodi immediately stood up and saluted them respectfully.
"You sit down."
Bai Wei waved her hand and looked at the five sisters sitting upright.
But the five of them were still so thin. Now that spring had arrived, the temperature had become much warmer. Although they were still wearing thin clothes, they were not as cold as before.
"Sister Bai Wei, thank you for helping us cook the fish. You all should thank Sister Bai Wei."
He Zhaodi waved to her four younger sisters.
Yingdi and the others slid down from the benches obediently and bowed to Bai Wei.
"Thank you, Sister Bai Wei!"
The four voices were crisp.
He Zhaodi was waiting for Wang Cuihua and her father to fall asleep, and then she sneaked out with her four younger sisters.
"You earned this through your own hard work. There's nothing to thank for."
Bai Wei smiled.
Xiao Meng had already walked in with the fish. She walked very fast with a smile on her little face.
Song Qinian quickly took the fish from her hand and put it on the table.
As the alluring fragrance wafted out, He Zhaodi and her five sisters couldn't help swallowing their saliva.
"Big sister, let me get you some dishes and chopsticks! Wait."
Xiao Meng almost ran all the way, quickly got the bowl and chopsticks, and then brought over the rice.
"And rice!"
As soon as Xiao Meng put the rice down, Yingdi and the others' eyes lit up.
"Big sister, it's white rice!"
The five sisters in the He family could only eat white rice during the Chinese New Year and other festivals.
When they saw the white rice, their hands started shaking with excitement.
"Eat quickly, this white rice is delicious!"
Xiao Meng hurried to prepare meals for her sisters.
He Zhaodi took the spoon and added more rice to her sisters.
She can eat white rice every day, but they have to be sneaky to have a bowl of rice.
"Eat quickly before you get cold."
Bai Wei waved his hand.
Following her signal, Yingdi and her sisters picked up their chopsticks and started eating.
Especially when she put the fish meat in her mouth, Sixth Sister's face lit up with joy and she gestured wildly while babbling.
"Master, Sixth Sister was complimenting you on how delicious your fish is!"
Xiao Meng still understood what Liu Mei meant by her gestures.
Several other people couldn't help but speak to Bai Wei.
"Sister Bai Wei, your cooking skills are amazing! It's really delicious!"
The sisters were eating and couldn't stop using their chopsticks.
I still feel a little distressed for the five skinny sisters, whose arms are as thin as bamboo poles.
"Take your time to eat. If there's not enough rice, there's more in the kitchen."
"Let them eat, and you go and rest first."
Song Qinian supported Bai Wei and asked her to go back to the house to rest first.
Bai Wei nodded, "Xiao Meng, you take care of them."
Just as she turned to leave, He Zhaodi put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hands, ran to Bai Wei, and knelt down.
"Sister Bai Wei, I want to ask you to do me a favor..."
Her sudden kneeling made Bai Wei stunned.
Song Qinian took the lead and helped He Zhaodi up.
"If you have anything to say, just say it nicely. You don't have to kneel."
"Zhao Di, what do you want me to help you with?"
Bai Wei asked curiously.
Could it be that she wants to leave the He family?
She did this kind of thing once, and she won't do it a second time.
"Zhao Di, if you want to leave the He family, I can't do it..."
As soon as Bai Wei finished speaking, He Zhaodi spoke hurriedly.
"No, Sister Bai Wei, I have other requests!"
