Chapter 9
"The third child, Jiu Niang, it's time to eat."

Mrs. Li was calling for dinner in the kitchen, and the eldest daughter-in-law, Mrs. Qin, was setting the bowls and chopsticks, while calling to her children: "Qing Luo, Brother Rui, hurry up and help grandma serve the dishes."

"Got it, mother."

When it was time to eat, Rong Jiu sat in front of the dilapidated table, glanced at the broken pots and pans, and his hand holding the chopsticks froze.

A few dry and hard buns, a pot of porridge, a plate of pickles, a pot of wild vegetables, and no oil.

How poor is the Shen family!
Seeing that she hadn't moved her chopsticks for a long time, Shen Cheng picked up some wild vegetables and put them in her bowl: "Eat quickly."

The wild vegetables were so bland and tasteless, Rong Jiu swallowed with difficulty, just in time to see the son of the second family grab the chopsticks on the table, pick up a chopstick full of wild vegetables, stuff his mouth full, and even the soup dripped from the corner of his mouth to the table.

Mrs. Wang took a steamed bun and put it in his bowl: "Brother An, eat more, or you won't grow up."

Shen An is seven years old, and there are still two lines of thick yellow snot hanging from his nose. While stuffing vegetables into his mouth, he sucks his nose.

Rong Jiu felt sick for a while, and pushed the bowl of gruel, which was only a few grains of rice, in front of Shen Cheng: "I'm not hungry, you can eat."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li worried, "Jiu Niang, why do you eat so little, but why do you feel uncomfortable?"

Rong Jiu shook his head: "Mom, I'm fine."

Wang rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "Mother, I'm afraid Jiuniang won't be used to the simple food of ours. The third son has hunted a lot of wild game today, why don't we stew a pheasant to nourish Jiuniang's body."

Shen Yueying is not happy, what happened to the simple food?They can eat well, why can't she eat as a funeral star?
"If you want to eat, if you don't eat, you will fall down. Don't be an eyesore here."

Seeing her vicious voice, Mrs. Li couldn't get angry, and scolded her coldly: "Yueniang, what did you say, apologize to Jiuniang quickly."

Shen Yueying was reprimanded by Mrs. Li, she hated Rong Jiu even more, and said, "Am I wrong? Those hares and pheasants are going to be sold for money to subsidize the family. Spectrum, delicacies from mountains and seas, big fish and big meat every day, must have the life of the young lady."

With a "snap", Li slapped the chopsticks heavily on the table.

Mrs. Li is the head of the family, and when she got so angry, everyone in the Shen family trembled in fright.

Mrs. Li stared at Shen Yueying with a livid face: "Where did Jiu Niang provoke you? You insisted on looking for her early in the morning to make you unhappy. Even if she didn't do well, as the eldest sister, you should let her go." It's her."

Shen Yueying was so angry that she was about to smoke, but she didn't dare to contradict Li Shi, she raised her head, gave Rong Jiu a vicious look, lowered her voice, and gritted her teeth: "Don't be complacent, we are endless!"

Rong Jiu frowned, and said with a leisurely smile, "Sister, what are you talking about, speak up, I didn't hear clearly."

Shen Yueying's face turned darker: "."

Li's face was gloomy, and she was about to reprimand Shen Yueying, but Wang said with an apologetic face, "Mother, don't be angry with Yueniang, it's all my fault, I didn't think carefully. When Jiuniang first came to our house, I must not be used to eating these, I still make breakfast so simple, it's my fault."

Rong Jiu had a half-smile: "Second sister-in-law was joking, it's not easy for us country people to earn a little money. If we don't plan carefully, how can we have a good life?"

Mrs. Wang herself was greedy for meat, yet she was asked to be this villain. She is really sinister and shameless!
Wang's calculations came to nothing, a trace of disappointment flashed across her face, but in Shen Yueying's eyes, it turned into self-blame.

Shen Yueying said angrily: "Second sister-in-law, why are you apologizing? It's not your fault. My sister-in-law is a decent official lady who has been able to endure hardships with us since she was a child. She is an abandoned family star. We are not as good as us, what qualifications do we have to pick and choose?"

Shen Cheng's face darkened, and he said coldly: "Eldest sister, I don't care what outsiders say about Jiuniang, but I don't want to hear a bad word about Jiuniang from my own family."

Shen Yueying's face darkened again, she stared at him, and said angrily: "Third brother, what do you mean by that? Once you have a daughter-in-law, you want to disown your relatives, right?"
