Shen Qianqian remained expressionless: "What? Was what I said sarcastic? You don't earn much money in a month, and you just lost 25 yuan to us a while ago. Where did you get the money to buy chickens? You can only steal them from your own house."
"Okay, you definitely stole more than just these things. Give me some, and we'll call it even."
That's it.
Qi Ran, who was drinking chicken soup, almost bit her tongue in her anxiety. What kind of person was the fifth son's wife? What did she mean by "stealing"? Was it only allowed for the fifth family to hide the good food, but not for them to cook for themselves?
But then she thought about it again. She realized that she had only found the chicken on the mountain thanks to the good luck provided by the system. If Shen Qianqian really made a scene at their house, who knows how much stuff they would have to give to the other families.
Besides, it's not just my fifth sister-in-law who can file a complaint; she can too. She can sue my fifth sister-in-law for neglecting her sick relative and going off to the city to enjoy herself!
Qi Ran gave her husband a wink. Although Lu Yuncheng was unwilling, he was also someone who listened to his wife. He took out 10 yuan from his inner pocket and handed it to Shen Qianqian.
Qi Qi pretended to be understanding and said, "Fifth sister-in-law, you must have had a long journey. Let's go and have something good to eat."
Shen Qianqian put the 10 yuan into her pocket, and with a quick glance, she knew what kind of shady scheme this woman was up to. However, she hadn't had a decent meal in a long time, so she decided to go get some roast duck first.
Thinking this to herself, she nodded to the eldest son's family and went out to eat roast duck.
As soon as Shen Qianqian left, Qi Ran immediately instructed Lu Yuncheng to call Old Lady Li.
While working in the field, Grandma Li was suddenly told that someone was calling her. She rushed to the village entrance to answer the phone, but as soon as the call connected, she regretted it.
Lu Yuncheng, on the other end of the phone, cried out, "Mom, my fifth sister-in-law stole ten yuan from us as soon as she arrived!"
She went to buy food, and now we can't see her anywhere! Come quickly and check on her, she's so considerate!
Just as Old Lady Li was about to speak, the call ended. She sighed. Knowing Shen Qianqian as she did, she wouldn't steal, but she would definitely take the money and not do any work!
If the fifth son's wife really pushes the eldest son's family too far, who knows what even bigger trouble might escalate.
Grandma Li hurriedly gave a few instructions to her family, grabbed some change, and rushed to the county hospital.
Alright.
Shen Qianqian sat in the restaurant, eating a roast duck with her mouth full of oil. One bite of the crispy skin sent a burst of rich, tender flavor dancing on her taste buds.
She had been craving this delicious food for almost fifty years, and today she could finally eat her fill. However, she didn't forget Lu Yunzhi at home.
Thinking that the food wouldn't be very good tonight, she ordered another serving of everything she had eaten to take away. When no one was looking, she threw all the food into the system's inventory.
Just after it was thrown, the system issued an alarm: [Host, a scheme designed by the female lead has been detected.]
A plot is approaching you; please be on guard!
As soon as the system finished speaking, Lu Yuncheng pulled Old Lady Li inside.
"You ate all that money, just like that?" Lu Yuncheng pointed to the empty plate in front of Shen Qianqian and said with a pained expression, "Mom, look! My fifth sister-in-law ate so much by herself! The money for these dishes could have fed our whole family for two or three days!"
Old Mrs. Li looked at the pile of bones next to the plate and shook her head in disappointment: "Fifth son's wife, didn't I give you 20 yuan? Why are you still asking for money from the eldest son's family!"
Her tone was both angry and anxious, expressing extreme disappointment in the fifth son's wife.
What an enormous appetite it must take to swallow so much money! All the praise I just gave Shen Qianqian has vanished completely.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuncheng's eyes widened involuntarily.
It turns out she gets paid for taking care of her own daughter-in-law.
I should have known better than to invite her. It's really upsetting that she made so much money for nothing!
Shen Qianqian wasn't unaware of these people's ulterior motives. She pinched her thigh hard, squeezed out a tear from the corner of her eye, and cried out, "Mom! Is that how you see me too?"
Grandma Li and Lu Yuncheng were taken aback. Shen Qianqian continued, "I saw that my sister-in-law was not doing well, and I was thinking of asking my friends to help her get treatment. That's why I spent money to treat them to a meal."
“But what about you and your older brother? You two came up here and accused me without even asking what happened. Since that’s the case, I think we should just let it go. I’ll go and scrape together 10 yuan to pay you back tomorrow.”
Shen Qianqian spoke with heartbreak, pushed away her stool and prepared to leave, but was grabbed by Old Lady Li.
"Fifth son's wife, it was my fault." Old Mrs. Li readily admitted her mistake, but in her heart she was already plotting something.
She had just heard that her eldest daughter-in-law was not feeling well; what if something happened to her grandson?
If the fifth son's wife is really willing to use her connections to save her grandson, what's ten yuan? She could accept spending any amount more!
God knows how much she longed for the birth of her grandson!
Old Mrs. Li emptied her pockets of all her loose change and shoved it into Chen Qianqian's hand: "Fifth son's wife, take this money and buy them something nice. You must get them to come and save your sister-in-law's child!"
Shen Qianqian initially declined, but ultimately accepted the money, though she was secretly delighted.
flower.
That's another 15 yuan earned! Great!
Lu Yuncheng followed behind Old Lady Li, his face contorted with rage. Why did his fifth sister-in-law get all the good things? He simply couldn't believe that Shen Qianqian could find anyone to treat his wife!
They should be grateful they're not thinking about how to harm that family!
Shen Qianqian noticed Lu Yuncheng's unpleasant expression and defiantly waved the [something] in her hand at him.
money.
This action completely shattered Lu Yuncheng's rationality. Ignoring the old lady Li in front of him, he walked straight past her and stormed out of the restaurant.
He needs to go and have a serious talk with his wife about how to expose the ugly face of the fifth son's wife!
As soon as Lu Yuncheng left, Shen Qianqian heard the familiar system voice again: [Detected that the host has once again...]
As a reward for the female protagonist's family, two small cream cakes will be given.
[Put it in the warehouse first.] Shen Qianqian replied. This is a good thing; it would sell for 2 yuan a piece outside, and you might not even be able to buy it. It's perfect to share it with Lu Yunzhi when we get back, so the two of them can enjoy a good meal.
That evening, Shen Qianqian went home with Grandma Li.
Because Qi Ran said she wanted Lu Yuncheng to spend more time with her, she asked Shen Qianqian to come again early the next morning, and Shen Qianqian gladly accepted.
During dinner at the Lu family home, Lu Yunzhi received another gesturing from his wife's eyes. He quickly ate a couple of bites and then pulled Shen Qianqian into the house.
As soon as the two entered the house, Shen Qianqian took out all of today's spoils from the system warehouse. The food filled the table, and what was even more surprising was that the roast duck and meat skewers were still hot.
Shen Qianqian became even more excited after discovering that the system warehouse had a heat preservation function, which meant that it would be more convenient for them to cook special meals for others in the future.
The two had just started eating when they heard a loud crash outside the window. The next second, the door was kicked open without any hesitation.
