Green Pearl's face turned bright red. Some of the beastmen who couldn't bear to watch wanted to speak up for her, but when they remembered what she had just said, such as eating someone else's pork being a favor, they couldn't bring themselves to speak.
After all, Green Pearl's words were indeed not very pleasant to hear.
Seeing that no one spoke up for her, and that Shen Miao had already replaced the meat for the beastmen, Green Pearl was both ashamed and angry. She turned around, pushed through the crowd, covered her face, and ran away.
Shen Miao didn't even spare her a glance.
After exchanging all the meat she could for, Shen Miao received several animal hides and a large pile of wild vegetables. She happily put them away and went to the kitchen to prepare a meal.
But after thinking about it, she ran to Qingchen's room first and boasted to him, "I killed a wild boar today, wasn't that amazing?"
Qingchen had actually heard the commotion outside long ago, and the kids had come in and told him, but he simply didn't believe that it was Shen Miao who had hit him. He knew Shen Miao's character very well.
That wild boar might have been a lucky find for Shen Miao.
Large wild animals often fight each other in the mountains and forests. Sometimes, the fight is so fierce that both are severely injured, neither able to devour the other, and the latter eventually dies from their injuries.
Qingchen believes that this is how Shenmiao's wild boar came about.
Seeing her smug expression, Qingchen couldn't help but pour cold water on her enthusiasm, "Shen Miao, do you even believe it yourself?"
Shen Miao was taken aback by his words and immediately became agitated.
She went through so much trouble to hunt a wild boar, only to be questioned in return. How could she tolerate that?
"Hu Qingchen, admit I'm powerful and made you suffer so much. Well, you'll be suffering often from now on, since I'll continue to hunt in the mountains." Shen Miao said deliberately, emphasizing each word.
Qingchen hesitated, her face cold as she refused to speak.
Shen Miao pressed her advantage: "Why did you stop talking? Do you also feel that you were being unreasonable? Hehe, I forgive you this time. Don't praise me, I'm just that magnanimous."
"..."
Qingchen closed his eyes, pretending to be a corpse.
After finishing her rant, Shen Miao clapped her hands, swayed her plump body, and went to the kitchen feeling refreshed.
She thought the stone pot was too slow to boil water, so she used a pot from the supermarket to boil a few eggs. These eggs were from the supermarket, so it was easy to explain to the kids that she had found wild eggs in the mountains.
Shen Miao took the eggs and cooked meat out together. That's right, today it wasn't barbecue, but boiled meat. Shen Miao was really tired of eating barbecue, so she used a pot from the supermarket to cook a pot of wild boar stew with wild vegetables.
The wild boar meat was cleaned thoroughly, and cooking wine was used to remove any gamey smell. Some tonics were also added to the soup, and a delicious and nourishing wild boar meat soup was ready.
The reason why Shen Miao was so bold and not afraid of arousing Qing Chen's suspicion was because stone pots could also be used to make food. However, people don't use them much now because of the lack of seasonings. Boiling the food in water makes it taste terrible, and it also takes a long time, so basically no one makes it.
But Shen Miao wasn't worried; she had a powerful, reliable advantage.
The pork soup was served outside, but the children were still clinging to Qingchen in the room. Shen Miao thought for a moment and decided to let them eat in the room so that Qingchen could join them.
The kids are also very happy to be able to eat with their dad.
Shen Miao peeled an egg for each of them, placed it in the stone bowl in front of them, and said with a smile, "Eat up."
The children were stunned. They looked at the eggs in the bowl, then at Chen Miao, and then at Qing Chen, completely at a loss.
They had never received a single egg from Shen Miao, yet she was giving them eggs to eat!
Qingchen didn't say anything, just stared blankly.
Looking at the five fox cubs, one big and four small, Shen Miao felt a pang of sadness for some reason.
It's just an egg; the little ones really don't need to make such a fuss.
Suppressing the bitterness in her heart, Shen Miao said in a lighthearted tone, "Why are you all spacing out? Eat up, your mother has peeled them all for you. They won't taste good if they get cold."
The babies remained motionless.
Shen Miao felt that they probably didn't not want to eat eggs, but just didn't know why. So she patiently asked several times and finally got the answer from Erbao.
The second child whispered, "We don't eat eggs, can we give them to Daddy?"
Shen Miao was taken aback and subconsciously asked, "Why give it to Daddy? You are children. If we give you eggs, you will grow up and grow taller faster."
“We can grow taller slowly, and then we can give the eggs to Daddy so he can get better,” Erbao said earnestly, his little face full of hope.
The same applies to the other cubs.
In an instant, Shen Miao's heart was filled with all sorts of emotions. She really didn't expect that her little ones would be so sensible.
Mustering his courage, Sanbao asked timidly, "Can we give some to Daddy?"
Shen Miao snapped out of her daze and looked at Sanbao gently: "No."
Sanbao's eyes dimmed instantly.
Shen Miao quickly added, "We won't lack eggs anymore. The children can eat one every day, and your father can eat one if he wants."
After speaking, he noticed Qingchen's gaze coming his way.
Shen Miao raised the corner of her mouth and explained, "I found a pheasant nest on the mountain. There are many pheasants laying eggs there, and I've already collected a lot of eggs."
Qingchen was skeptical, but didn't say anything.
Feeling a little guilty, Shen Miao quickly looked away, picked up the egg from Xiao Sibao's bowl, and fed it to her. Seeing this, the little ones also started eating.
Seeing that they were enjoying their meal, Shen Miao announced something else: she was going to treat Qingchen's illness.
Upon hearing this, the children forgot all about eating their eggs and kept asking if it was true. At this moment, they no longer cared about being afraid of Shen Miao and all looked at her eagerly.
"Of course it's true. I can hunt now, and I've even found a lot of useful tonics in the mountains. When I catch some game, I'll go and get the medicine for your father."
The four little ones cheered immediately.
The little boy stuffed his half-eaten egg into Chen Miao's mouth and said obediently, "Mommy, you eat the egg."
Shen Miao took out the egg covered in Xiao Sibao's saliva, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Da Bao excitedly said, "When Daddy gets better, we'll hunt together to raise you and catch lots and lots of prey."
Erbao ran over eagerly and, for the first time ever, took the initiative to approach Shen Miao, massaging her arm. Unfortunately, his little hands were weak, and it was like scratching an itch.
Sanbao wasn't going to be outdone, so he ran to the other side and started massaging her legs.
This was the first time Shen Miao had ever received such enthusiastic service from the boys, but it was all because of Qing Chen. Just thinking about it made her feel sad, and she couldn't help but glare at him.
But she saw that Qingchen was also looking at her, with a hint of anger in his eyes. Because the children were present, he didn't say anything harsh, but just curled his lips in a sarcastic way and said in a light tone, "This is very boring."
He still didn't believe that Shen Miao could cure him, and thought that she was just fooling the kids, so he was very angry.
That female beast is truly incorrigible!
