Chapter 16: Rescue



After swallowing her saliva, Granny Xu asked in disbelief, "Ugly girl, how did you get this fish? Is it really edible?"

Shu Jiaying didn't answer immediately. She helped Grandma Xu sit on a chair and used chopsticks to pick up some tender fish from the belly and put it in Grandma Xu's bowl. Then she said, "Grandma, please try it. This fish is cooked very fresh. I guarantee there is no fishy smell."

"oh oh……"

Grandma Xu was still a little hesitant. She looked at the cooked fish on the plate. This was the first time she had seen such a cooking method. Especially when she saw the brown soy sauce mixed with the fried soybean oil, the indescribable fragrance passed through her nose. She had never thought that the combination of the two could achieve such an effect.

This is simply amazing!

Her trembling hands involuntarily picked up the chopsticks and Grandma Xu put the fish in the bowl into her mouth. When her tongue felt the delicious taste of the fish, she couldn't help but stand up from the chair and scream.

"Oh my god, how can there be such delicious food in this world? It's just so... so delicious."

Unable to resist the delicious food any longer, Grandma Xu picked up the bowl and started to gobble it up.

Shu Jiaying, who was standing by and watching, wiped her sweat repeatedly. From time to time, she did not forget to remind: "Grandma, eat slowly, be careful of fish bones..."

Fortunately, this river fish has relatively few bones, otherwise, with Grandma Xu's rough eating habits, it would only be a matter of time before she got a fish bone stuck in her throat.

By the end of the meal, there was very little left on the table. Shu Jiaying was surprised at how much Grandma Xu ate. Wasn't this old lady always so frugal? It was rare for her to eat so freely.

After eating and drinking her fill, Grandma Xu burped with satisfaction. She glanced at the leftovers on the table and said to Shu Jiaying, "Ugly girl, the dishes you cooked today are very good, but your uncle hasn't eaten yet. I think you should wait until your uncle comes back before eating!"

“…”

Let’s wait for Captain Xu to come back and eat it. Will there be any left?

Shu Jiaying shook her head and sighed silently. Fortunately, people here went to bed early. It seemed that if she wanted to fill her stomach, she might have to wait until the Xu family fell asleep before she could go to the fields to get some frogs.

Just as I had this thought, Xu Lichang came back. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a bowl of leftover rice, a fish head and some stir-fried vegetables on the table.

Lizhang Xu asked, "Have you two eaten?"

Before Shu Jiaying could answer, Grandma Xu said, "Eat, eat. There's food on the table for you. Eat it all. The fish cooked by the ugly girl is very good. I'm sure you will like it."

"Yeah?"

Village Chief Xu looked at Shu Jiaying happily, but Shu Jiaying's stomach gave him a "gurgling" response.

Village Chief Xu immediately realized that Shu Jiaying had not eaten dinner today, so he deliberately touched his stomach.

"I ate a lot while talking to someone outside just now, and now my stomach is still bloated and I can't digest it. I can't eat this meal. Jiaying, you're so thin, so eat all the food on the table. Otherwise, it will go bad tomorrow because it's too hot, and it will be a waste."

He winked at Shu Jiaying.

Shu Jiaying immediately smiled knowingly and looked at Village Chief Xu with gratitude in her heart.

Village Chief Xu nodded.

The interaction between the two was seen by Shu Guozhong and his wife Xiao Qifeng who came to visit suddenly.

Shu Guozhong immediately pointed at the two of them and shouted, "Oh... I was confused as to why you designated my sister to serve the old lady at your house. It turns out you two have been having an affair for a long time. You...

Shu Jiaying, you bitch...you're going to ruin the reputation of our Shu family!"
