Looking at her greasy hands, Song Qingyou suppressed her disgust and followed her inside. Once inside, her grandparents, second uncle, and cousin were having dinner in the hall.
When Grandpa Song saw her arrive, he said impatiently, "It's Qingyou. Why are you so late?"
"I came to see Grandpa and Grandma. I haven't eaten yet, so I bought some food to eat with you. Please don't be offended if I take the liberty of doing this on my own, Grandpa," Song Qingyou said, placing the food box on the table and then taking out the dishes.
"I had the chef at the restaurant cook these dishes. I don't know if they'll suit your tastes. I also bought roast chicken and pig's trotters. It's hot, so they won't keep for long. It's best to finish them tonight. I'll bring more tomorrow."
“My granddaughter was being unreasonable the other day, please don’t hold it against me, a junior. Tomorrow, I’ll have my second uncle work at the restaurant, and the money will be as Grandma said before.”
Seeing how understanding she was and how much food she brought, the others' expressions began to improve. Grandpa Song nodded happily, "It's good that you can think positively. No matter what, family is always the most important. We can never trust outsiders."
"Your second uncle will start working at the restaurant tomorrow. If there's anything he doesn't understand, please remind him. Since you haven't eaten yet, sit down and have some."
She really is just a girl. So what if she opened a shop and a restaurant? In the end, all that money still ends up in the hands of the Song family. She's just a little girl. When she gets a bit older, we'll give her some money to get rid of her and then she can get married.
It's a pity that his youngest son didn't survive, and so did the others. If they had held on, they could be living a good life now.
Song Qingyou nodded, placed the dishes on the table, and then sat down. "Grandpa and Grandma, please eat!" she said, taking the bowl and chopsticks handed to her by her second aunt and starting to eat.
"Grandma, I want to eat chicken legs and big pig's trotters." Song Qinghui said hurriedly as he saw Song Qingyou picking up food.
He was his grandparents' most beloved grandson, while Song Qingyou was just a little girl. How could she be qualified to eat meat? If it weren't for the fact that she brought food, they wouldn't have let her sit at the table to eat.
When Grandma Song heard what her grandson said, and then saw that Song Qingyou was about to pick up some chicken, she hurriedly brought it over, saying, "Qingyou, you eat this meat every day. Poor little brother, he fled with us during the famine and has never eaten anything."
"Give him the roast chicken and pig's trotters. You can eat the other dishes; they're delicious too." After saying that, she put both chicken legs into her grandson's bowl, and then gave each of them a few pieces of the rest.
Song Qingyou put the chopsticks away and smiled sweetly, making the dimly lit room shine. "Since my cousin likes to eat it, then I, as his older sister, won't compete with him."
"By the way, a guest gave my granddaughter a pot of wine today. It was a bit expensive, but my granddaughter is still too young to drink. Since her grandparents and second uncle like to drink, I brought it to you."
As she spoke, she took out a bottle of wine from the food box. "I heard from that guest that this wine is made with ginseng and is very good for your health. I'll pour some for Grandpa and Grandma."
Then he took out four small cups from the food box, opened the wine, and filled the cups. "Grandpa, Grandma, Second Uncle, Second Aunt, please drink. If you like it, I'll buy a few more bottles when that guest comes next time."
Hearing her say this, the others looked at the wine in their glasses. Grandpa Song brought the wine over and said, "Your guest is quite nice, he even gave you such a good gift." He then drank the wine in one gulp.
Uncle Song and Aunt Song naturally wouldn't let such a good thing pass them by. They picked up their cups and drank the wine in one gulp.
"This wine is quite good. It warms you up after drinking it. Qingyou, who gave you this wine? How old is he? It's not like he just wants to befriend you because you're so young and have two shops."
"You can't be foolish. Since ancient times, marriage has been arranged by parents and matchmakers. You can't get engaged to someone without the consent of your grandparents and parents."
If that's the case, how can they then bring the restaurants and grain shops under their control?
Upon hearing this, Grandma Song put down her wine glass. "Song Qingyou, is it what your second aunt said? You want to get engaged to someone?" The others were also watching, waiting for her to say something.
Song Qingyou shook her head, "Second Aunt, how can you talk nonsense? I'm still young, and without Grandpa and Grandma's permission, how could I dare? Grandma, don't worry, your granddaughter won't do it. You drink, and your granddaughter will pour you some more."
"It had better be as you say. If you really dare to make a lifelong commitment to someone else, I will absolutely not let you off the hook." After saying that, Grandma Song drank the wine in her glass.
Song Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her drink the wine. Then she refilled the glasses, put the bottles on the table, and sat there waiting.
After the group drank the wine that had been poured to the brim, they noticed that she wasn't pouring any more. Aunt Song said with dissatisfaction, "Song Qingyou, why aren't you pouring any more wine? If you're not going to pour, then pour some for me."
"Father, Mother, Husband, let me pour you some wine." But before she could pour the wine, she felt a sharp pain in her chest, and the pain caused her to collapse to the ground in agony.
"Father, Mother, my stomach hurts." Song Qinghui also clutched his stomach and cried out in pain.
Seeing him like this, the others felt a sharp pain in their chests and blood trickling from their mouths before they could even speak. Looking at Song Qingyou, who was sitting there unharmed, even the most naive among them knew what had happened.
"Song Qingyou, you little bitch, did you poison us? Get us a doctor right now, or you'll be sorry!" Grandma Song struggled, trying to hit her, but the next second, she collapsed to the ground.
"Poisoning! How can you say I poisoned it? I just brought the food over; you ate it yourselves. It has nothing to do with me."
As Song Qingyou spoke, she stood up from the stool and said, "Look at you all now, still trying to teach me a lesson? You don't even know if you'll see the sun tomorrow, yet you're spouting nonsense."
"Don't even think about finding a doctor, because it's useless. If you hadn't gone to the restaurant time and time again, causing trouble for the restaurant's business and trying to get something for nothing, would I have poisoned it?"
"You old codger, do you really think I'm still as easy to bully as before? Just wait to die. Remember to be reborn into a better family next time."
Grandpa Song clutched his chest. "Qingyou, no matter what, we are still your family. As long as you go to see a doctor now, we'll pretend this never happened, and we'll leave and never bother you again, okay?"
“You’re still young, you can’t make such a mistake. Otherwise, if you poison us, you’ll go to jail, and all the hard work you put into building that restaurant will end up in someone else’s hands.”
Look at this brat, she's determined to kill them. I just hope she's afraid of going to jail and will find them a doctor.
"Heh!" Song Qingyou sneered, "Stop dreaming, you old codger. We've already come this far, do you think I'd back out? Go on your way in peace."
