Chapter 222 I Refused
The sun was shining brightly under a clear blue sky.
Fang Luxue finally made it to lunchtime.
She felt like her whole body was about to fall apart!
Most importantly, her once clean clothes were now stained with several patches of dirt.
This is a new dress she bought with pearl hairpins.
Wan Qiqi noticed it too, and after glancing at it twice, she thought, "They don't look like they're doing any work!"
Fang Luxue was so angry that her face turned red, and she clenched her fists, ready to settle the score with Wan Qiqi.
Wang immediately took Fang Luxue's hand and smiled gently, "It would be a shame to get such a beautiful dress dirty. I don't have any new clothes to sew. Why don't you change into these first, and I'll wash them for you after we eat?"
Fang Luxue had a pretty good impression of Wang.
Wang's smile reminded her of her own mother.
At home, her mother treated her with gentle and kind words.
She nodded and followed Wang to change her clothes!
Wu Gousheng asked curiously, "Sister, how did you know she would stay and even work?"
Although he did almost all the work himself and Fang Luxue never did it well, it was still quite rare to get such a young lady to do it.
Wan Qiqi smiled without saying a word.
All she did was test Fang Luxue's patience.
If Fang Luxue insists on coming first, it will be another kind of gain.
If that wasn't possible, she could only tell Magistrate Fang that she was powerless to help his daughter as well.
If the other party wants to take the house back, she has nothing to say.
However, once something is in her hands, she has no reason to let it go.
When Fang Luxue came out in her new clothes, everyone was already seated at the dinner table, waiting for her and Wang Shi!
Seeing that Fang Luxue was dressed in coarse cloth, everyone couldn't help but take a few more curious glances.
The clothes weren't as somber as the ones she usually wore, but they didn't look bad on her at all.
It fit her well, but because she was a bit pale, it didn't quite suit her.
Fang Luxue didn't care about everyone's gaze and sat down as she smelled the aroma of the food.
In front of me was a bowl of brown rice, and on the table were some green vegetables and wild greens, as well as some strange shreds.
She frowned. "Why isn't there any meat?"
Wan Qiqi looked up and raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure you can eat meat?"
As she finished speaking, Fang Luxue recalled that she had ordered several meat dishes in Hefeng Town, but hadn't been able to eat a single bite.
She didn't know why, whenever she saw meat, she would think of the sea of blood on Lianshan Mountain.
"It's fine if there's no meat, but judging from your appearance, you can't afford to eat meat either."
Fang Luxue mumbled something, and her stomach rumbled.
She was hungry! Really hungry!
But Dad said that when you're at someone else's house, you have to wait for the host to start eating before you can begin.
Wan Qiqi felt that Fang Luxue wasn't without merits; her manners were quite impeccable.
She placed a piece of green vegetable in Chen Yongnian's bowl with her chopsticks and said softly, "Let's eat!"
Only then did everyone move.
Fang Luxue was somewhat taken aback.
Isn't it Wang or Chen Yongnian who are in charge of this household?
Why does this whole family listen to Wan Qiqi? Even the outsiders Wu Gousheng and Little Monkey listen to her.
Just as Fang Luxue was about to eat slowly and carefully, she noticed that the others had already eaten most of their bowls of brown rice, and the vegetables were also rapidly decreasing.
She felt like she wasn't eating, but fighting.
Wan Qiqi was already used to their rudeness and didn't care much, continuing to serve food to Chen Yongnian and the little monkey.
One hand is injured, making it inconvenient to pick up food.
One was timid and only dared to pick up the food in front of him.
She felt that having to take care of others even while eating a meal was truly exhausting.
"My wife, I'm fine, you should eat more."
Chen Yongnian picked up the food from his bowl and placed it on Wan Qiqi's plate. He was very composed and did not look injured at all.
Wan Qiqi glanced at his palm.
Bloodstains seeped through the white gauze.
She grabbed Chen Yongnian's hand.
Chen Yongnian winced in pain, and the chopsticks slipped from his fingers and landed on the table.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked over.
Wan Qiqi raised her eyes and said coldly, "It's nothing, you guys continue eating."
Except for Fang Luxue, the others continued eating.
Chen Yongnian knew he had upset his wife again, so he immediately coaxed her gently, "I'm fine, it was just an accident, I only got a small cut."
Wan Qiqi let go of his hand, picked up some food and put it in her mouth, saying softly, "Yes, just a small bite."
Fang Luxue realized that Wan Qiqi was really angry, so she immediately changed the subject, "Hey you, what's that bowl of shredded vegetables?"
Wan Qiqi didn't even lift her eyelids, coldly saying, "Don't I have a name?"
"Wan Qiqi, what is that bowl of shredded vegetables?"
"I'm definitely older than you, isn't it impolite to call you by your first name?"
Fang Luxue lost her patience and glared at him, shouting, "Sister Wan, is this alright now?"
Wan Qiqi frowned.
Why is this person calling himself Sister Wan, just like Wu Gousheng?
Fang Luxue didn't want to listen to Wan Qiqi anymore, so she picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks and put it in her bowl.
Although I don't know what this is, it's almost empty, so it must be delicious!
She tasted it carefully and realized it was bamboo shoots.
But the taste of the bamboo shoots was different from the ones she had eaten before.
After eating, Fang Luxue felt much better.
Although Lianhua Village is a poor and remote place, the Chen family's meals are alright, except for the lack of meat!
Although she herself can no longer eat meat, she still has a strong attachment to it.
A villager came to the courtyard and talked with Wan Qiqi for a while.
Then someone carried some wooden planks and bedding and placed them in the Zhao family's yard.
After the person left, Fang Luxue asked curiously, "Who delivered it?"
