Humph, do you dislike my sister-in-law so much?
She walked straight into the kitchen. Qin Qiuniang had already brought sweet potato, millet and red date porridge, two brown sugar pastries and four salty pastries to the table.
The three of them finished their meal in silence. Qin Li cleaned up the dishes and let Chen Tan take another nap.
Chen Tan shook his head and refused, "I have to practice my calligraphy."
During these seven days, Qin Li did not go out and helped her copy the book on plants and trees that Grandpa Xie gave her.
His handwriting was vigorous and powerful, with extraordinary charm, which made her envious.
She wanted to practice her calligraphy well. Even if she couldn't compare to Qin Li, she couldn't be too far behind.
Seeing that she wasn't angry, Qin Li suggested, "Your pencil writing is pretty good. I'll teach you how to write with a brush."

Qin Li, who was chopping firewood in the yard, heard this and thought of Chen Tan's shiny hair. He decided to buy her a hairpin.
"I'll let Aunt Wu come and accompany you tomorrow."
"Don't bother her, I'm fine," Qin Qiuniang's smile deepened. "That girl cured all my old ailments. You should pay more attention to her and shave off your beard. It's so ugly."
Qin Li laughed and said, "Grandma, you have no hair on your face, but you can't do things well. Your grandson needs a face like this to keep the place in check when he's doing his job."
Qin Qiuniang glared at him and said, "I think you are incompetent and you rely on your hairy face to bluff people."
