Chapter 16 Willing to admit defeat
Xie Fanjin: "...Okay."
Bingyi fetched more water. Xie Fanjin didn't say anything this time, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
At this time, the youngest official, Wang Jiacheng, came over with a fish in his hand, baring his white teeth. "Thank you for giving us the herbs before, dear sister. This fish is for you!"
If it weren't for Xie Fanjin's herbs, he would probably not be able to recover from the Chen family's smoke, and would have vomited out the food he had eaten the night before.
Xie Fanjin didn't answer: "You're welcome, it's just a small favor."
That's really grass, not medicine, it just tastes fresher.
Wang Jiacheng still stuffed the fish into Jin's hands and said, "I'm not giving it to you for nothing. You still have a long way to go. Let's all take care of each other."
Although they are officials, they also have headaches and fevers and get sick. Xie Fanjin knows medicine, so there is no harm in making friends with her.
Xie Fanjin also understood what he was thinking, and said casually: "Yeah, take care of each other."
The young man was so happy after hearing Xie Fanjin's words that he left happily.
Xie Fanjin met Xiao Zhenzhen's shocked gaze and said, "Is this time I the winner?"
Xiao Zhenzhen opened her mouth and looked at Xiao Yanxi.
"I am willing to admit defeat."
Xiao Zhenzhen felt a little aggrieved. She used to think Xiao Yanxi was very manly, but now she felt that he was a bit like a henpecked husband who was afraid of his wife.
How could this happen? How could everything change overnight?
Xiao Zhenzhen was depressed and squatted under the tree roots wiping her tears.
After Jin finished preparing the fish, she asked Xie Fanjin, "How do you eat this fish?"
Xie Fanjin: "Let's stew it."
As she spoke, she picked the wild celery she had dug earlier and cut it into sections.
Bingyi picked up firewood, and Jin was very good at making fire and cooking. Only then did Xie Fanjin realize that there seemed to be no salt.
The rest doesn't matter. Without salt, it seems a bit hard to swallow.
So she went to Wang Jiacheng to borrow some salt, saying that she would return it after buying it. The officials did not make things difficult for Xie Fanjin.
The pot boiled and the aroma filled the air. Xie Fanjin threw the dry buns he had picked up earlier into the pot and stirred them with chopsticks made of tree branches. The fish soup became thicker.
There were only two bowls, so Xie Fanjin asked Jin and Xiao Yanxi to eat first.
Jin was a little embarrassed: "I didn't do much along the way, so you should eat first, young lady."
Xie Fanjin waved his hand: "I'm afraid of the heat, you eat first."
Jin and Xiao Yanxi each ate a bowl. They thought the taste would be hard to swallow, but it turned out to be quite delicious. They didn't know what seasoning Xie Fanjin put in it.
Then it was Xie Fanjin and Xiao Zhenzhen's turn. Bingyi turned his head and swallowed.
After Xie Fanjin divided the food, he directly handed the pot to Bingyi: "The rest is yours, you can eat from the pot."
Bing Yi was a little panicked: "That's not good, I'll wait a little longer."
Wait until the bowl is empty.
Xie Fanjin: "It's already like this, what's the point of being so particular? It's going to rain soon, we have to find a place to shelter."
Mrs. Chen Er rolled her eyes. "Just two clouds, and it's raining? That's sheer nonsense. Do you really think you have the ability to observe the celestial phenomena?"
Mrs. Chen's voice rang out: "Second daughter-in-law, why is there so much fish in your bowl? Give some to your father!"
Mrs. Chen Er felt wronged: "Mother, I bought this fish with my own money..."
Mrs. Chen's face was grim: "What's wrong with you spending money? We haven't separated yet, and you should respect your elders. You spend money today, and let the eldest brother's family spend it tomorrow!"
Although Mrs. Chen Er was unwilling, she still reluctantly gave two pieces of fish to Mr. Chen and Mrs. Chen.
"Meat...meat!"
Because Mrs. Chen Er gave Wang Tiezhu some silver during the day, Wang Tiezhu gave him a piece of pork belly. After the servants braised it, Chen Xiaobao swallowed his saliva when he smelled it.
In the past, even his dog would have despised this thing, but now it thinks it tastes better than delicacies from land and sea.
Madam Chen quickly said, "Second sister-in-law, give Dad and Mom a piece. They are old and need more nourishment."
Mrs. Chen Er looked at the pieces of meat in the bowl and was very angry. This little bit of food was not enough for her son to eat, so why should it be shared with the old couple?
When Chen Xiaobao heard that the food was going to be shared, he ran to the side with the big bowl and started to eat it ravenously without caring whether it was hot or not.
Madam Chen didn't say anything else. Madam Chen's eyes widened with anger. "They say you can tell a child's future by looking at him at the age of three and his character by looking at him at the age of seven. Xiaobao is almost eleven years old, and he's still behaving like this. What kind of future can he have?"
"Grandma, this piece of fish is tender and smooth, please eat more." Chen Xinyu stepped forward and put half of the fish in her bowl into the bowl of Old Lady Chen.
Old Madam Chen was somewhat touched: "Xinyu is indeed sensible. She will definitely have a bright future!"
Although Chen Xiaobao's meat was not distributed, Mrs. Chen Er was very angry.
Xiao Zhenzhen sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "I want to eat meat, too."
In the past, there were all kinds of animals, including those flying in the sky, running on the ground, and swimming in the sea. Now, it is not easy to have a stutter.
When she thought of this, she began to cry again.
Xie Fanjin rolled his eyes: "I want to eat meat too."
Xiao Zhenzhen was happy: "Then when are we going to buy meat?"
It’s possible now, he has seen that those officials have a lot of good things!
Xie Fanjin: "You pay, and we'll buy it right away."
Xiao Zhenzhen curled her lips and almost burst into tears.
If it were in the past, if Xie Fanjin dared to offend her like this, she would have beaten Xie Fanjin thirty times.
Now, she still has to rely on Xie Fanjin for a bite of food, so she wants to find a rope to hang herself.
After Xiao Zhenzhen finished her meal, she went to the side to sulk.
Xie Fanjin didn't let her go: "You have to wash the pots and dishes."
Xiao Zhenzhen became even angrier.
"Fifth sister, here."
Chen Xinyu walked over to Xiao Zhenzhen and handed her a piece of cake.
Xiao Zhenzhen originally wanted to reach out, but when she thought about the situation between the Chen family and Xiao Yanxi, she felt embarrassed to eat.
Besides, what my second uncle said before was so hurtful.
"Thank you, cousin. I'm full. I'm not hungry." Qin Zhenzhen said as tears fell.
Chen Xinyu sighed, "Cousin, what a fool! You went into exile with him and suffered hardships together, yet you let a maid bully you."
Xiao Zhenzhen felt even more aggrieved.
She had been keeping a low profile along the way, but Xie Fanjin was really going a bit too far!
Chen Xinyu stuffed the cake in her hand to Xiao Zhenzhen: "After all, you are my cousin's sister, and you are half the master of Xie Fanjin. Don't spoil her in the future. Let her do the rough and tiring work. If she can't walk, let her carry you on her back!"
Qin Zhenzhen wiped her tears and asked hesitantly, "Is it okay?"
She had thought about it before, but Xie Fanjin seemed difficult to deal with.
"certainly……"
"Of course not!"
