The children all had several more bowls of rice.

I saw them eating voraciously.

Yueyue's little face was still covered with rice grains.

The marinated pork belly fried with carrots is salty and tasty, fatty but not greasy.

The carrots are crisp, tender and sweet, and have fully absorbed the fat and aroma of the pork belly. They have a unique flavor and are super delicious.

Another bite of minced garlic and cabbage is refreshing and relieves greasiness.

"Wow, it's so delicious! The fried carrots are delicious too." Qin Mu said incoherently while eating.

“I want carrots, too.”

Xiaoxiao tasted the bok choy and said, "This bok choy is so refreshing, sweet, crispy and tender!"

"Okay, it's good to eat more carrots and cabbage, they are rich in vitamins." Su Panpan said as she picked up a piece of carrot with chopsticks for Yueyue.

"Mom, what are vitamins?"

The four children all turned around and looked at Su Panpan. They had never heard of this word before!

When Su Panpan saw this, she realized that she had said too much and pretended to cough to cover up her embarrassment.

Then he said, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you now, but eating it is good for your health and will help you grow taller."

"Oh, I understand. No wonder Brother Qin Mu is so tall. It's because he eats carrots," Yueyue quickly answered.

"Brother Qin Mu is tall because he is the oldest." Xiaoxiao corrected Yueyue from the side.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha……

Su Panpan and the children were all amused and burst into laughter!

The warm firelight illuminated each of their faces, and those rosy faces were filled with happiness and satisfaction.

The air was filled with the aroma of food. They chatted from time to time, their words full of care and warmth.

This ordinary yet beautiful moment seems to be frozen in time, becoming an eternal and warm picture.

Qin Xiao was secretly shedding tears at this moment, remembering that he had stolen two taro because he was too hungry, and was beaten by Zhao. His butt was swollen for several days, and he could only sleep on his stomach due to the pain.

As for Qin Lang, the wealthy son of the eldest wife, Zhao would give him half an egg and even give him birthday noodles, which led Qin Xiao to believe that the four children of the third wife were not the biological grandchildren of the Qin family.

Now, following his mother, he can live a good life like New Year's Day every day, which he never dared to imagine before.

In the past, he was full of confusion and didn't understand why his mother always chose to endure silently and say nothing every time she was scolded, like a taciturn person with no temper.

But now, my mother seemed like a different person. She could always fight back sharply, making my grandmother so angry that she was furious and half dead.

Thinking of the look on his grandmother's face when she was angry with his mother, Qin Xiao couldn't help laughing again.

At the same time, in the Zhao family, there was another chaotic scene.

The wooden table that Su Panpan had split when they divided the family property was full of dents and looked shaky.

On top were wild vegetable dumplings that smelled rotten and a bowl of turbid bran paste.

Zhao's mouth corners drooped and she sat at the table with a gloomy face.

With one hand clutching a spoon, he stirred the bran paste haphazardly, while with the other hand he slammed the tabletop vigorously, shouting and cursing, "What kind of a life is this! Eating nothing every day is like starving to death!"

After scolding her, she yelled at her two wives, "That bitch Su Panpan! I ate meat buns this morning, and my mouth is full of the taste of meat. I even have more energy to argue with you. You guys come up with these things every day to fool me! You can't even cook a decent meal, what's the point of having you!"

The eldest wife Qin Youqian and the second wife Qin Youwen sat at the table and didn't dare to breathe, for fear of making their mother unhappy again.

Fang and Shen didn't dare to say much, but their eyes were wet with grievance.

They knew that Zhao had lost face and suffered a setback in front of Su Panpan, so they didn't dare to argue at all.

The air was so quiet that even the children from the first and second wives didn't dare to say a word.

Only her shouting and cursing could be heard one after another.

……

Suddenly, Aunt Liu rushed in furiously, pointed at Zhao's nose and cursed: "Did you, a wicked thing, steal the cow dung from my field?"

This voice instantly attracted the villagers who came out to chat.

Everyone was curious about what had happened, and gathered at the door of Zhao's house, whispering and pointing.

Aunt Wang and Aunt Fat were even more excited. They kept cracking melon seeds while pushing their way to the front of the crowd, and they left a pile of melon seed shells on the ground in front of the Qin family's door.

Zhao was stunned by Aunt Liu's sudden accusation, and then she shouted back, "What nonsense are you talking about! Who stole your cow dung?"

Aunt Liu put her hands on her hips and yelled, "If it wasn't you? Then who else could it be? I plowed the land yesterday and piled cow dung in the field, covering it with grass. You were the only one there who saw it yesterday, and it's gone today! You evil-hearted woman, you threw the cow dung at Su Panpan's house this morning. You must have stolen it from my field!"

"You're talking nonsense! Don't talk nonsense here, or I'll tear your mouth apart!" Zhao was so angry that she was shaking all over.

Aunt Liu didn't flinch. She stepped forward, pointed at Zhao's nose and scolded, "You dare to do it but you don't take responsibility for it! You're used to stealing and cheating all the time. What kind of bad things can't you do? And you still want to deny it!"

At this time, the reactions of the surrounding villagers became more and more intense.

The fat aunt muttered quietly: "This Zhao is usually fierce and petty, and she might really be capable of doing such a thing."

As the verbal battle escalated, the villagers' voices gradually grew louder: "Aunt Liu has a point. This Zhao family is not an easy person to deal with."

"Aunt Liu is not someone you can easily mess with. Now we're going to have a good show."

Aunt Liu reached out and pushed Zhao.

Zhao staggered, and after stabilizing herself, she pounced on Aunt Liu like a mad lion, grabbing at her with her hands and cursing at her with obscenities that were unbearable to the ears.

Aunt Liu was not to be outdone, she grabbed Zhao's hair and the two of them started fighting.

Aunt Liu grabbed Zhao's hair, pulled her hand away, and shouted, "If you don't give me an explanation today and compensate me for my losses, I'll never let you go! I'm going to take you to see the head of the village and let everyone judge the matter!"

While cracking some melon seeds, Wang Ma said loudly, "Given Zhao's character, it's not surprising that she would do something like this."

"That's right, there's nothing she can't do!" The fat aunt also echoed loudly.

Just as everyone was discussing this, a voice rang out from the crowd: "I saw Zhao and Qin Youqian sneaking towards Aunt Liu's field last night. They must have stolen it!"

Another person echoed, "Yes, I saw it too. They were carrying big baskets!"

At this time, everyone blamed Zhao: "So it's true, Zhao, you are too outrageous!"

Aunt Liu was furious after hearing what the villagers said. She rushed forward with her teeth bared and started to fight with Zhao, cursing, "Come on, who's afraid of who? I'm going to fight you today!"
