Mrs. Chen Er whispered in agreement: "Your grandmother is right. If it doesn't work, we can ask her to pay the money. We are right, so what are we afraid of?"
Mrs. Chen Er didn't care about Chen Xinyu's face. She just hoped to get some money back from Xie Fanjin.
If they wanted to find a doctor in the city, how much money would that cost? A lot of the two hundred taels that Old Madam Chen had left was already spent, and it was not enough for their whole family to eat and drink on the journey.
Chen Xinyu cried and was forced to take medicine by Mrs. Chen. It was almost dawn when the thatched hut gradually became quiet.
Although it was raining, Bingyi went out hunting again early in the morning and even brought back a wild duck, which was quite interesting.
Xiao Zhenzhen also asked Bingyi: "These wild ducks, male and female, haven't you seen any wild duck eggs?"
Bingyi actually remembered this matter and took out an egg from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Zhenzhen.
Xiao Zhenzhen was very happy: "I want to eat fried wild duck eggs...ah..."
She suddenly screamed, and everyone looked over and saw the wild duck egg in Xiao Zhenzhen's hand move, then the shell broke, and a wet little head popped out from inside.
"Ah...ah..." Xiao Zhenzhen was shocked and scared, and was about to throw the egg in her hand away. Xie Fanjin picked it up calmly and helped the duckling break out of the shell.
"Oh, it's so dirty. It's too small to eat. It's better to throw it away!" Xiao Zhenzhen washed her hands several times and said unhappily.
Xie Fanjin placed the duckling in the thatched pile: "It's a life after all, keep it."
Xiao Zhenzhen curled her lips: "You are just kind."
Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Chen were just thinking about how to eat the duck. Xiao Zhenzhen swallowed her saliva and approached Xie Fanjin: "I want to eat the roast duck in the palace. Can we have roast duck?"
Xie Fanjin frowned: "It's not good to eat roast duck so early in the morning, right?"
It is better to stew it in clear soup, drink the soup in the morning, and eat the meat in the pot at noon.
Xiao Zhenzhen refused and insisted on eating grilled food: "We've all been exiled, it's good enough to have something to eat. Why bother with whether it's greasy or not?!"
Xie Fanjin was helpless. She didn't have to do anything anyway: "Okay, let's eat roast duck."
While Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Chen San were busy, Xie Fanjin picked some seasonings from the sack, ground them into powder, added oil, salt, sauce and vinegar to marinate them before starting to roast them. Soon the thatched hut was filled with fragrance.
On the side, the Chen family members looked over here from time to time, envious and jealous, drooling.
Chen Xinyu thought of what Old Man Chen had said to her, touched the wound on her face, and couldn't stop crying. Why would Xiao Yanxi rather be nice to a rough maid than show more mercy to her?
How is she inferior to Xie Fanjin? Is it because she is too reserved and not as shameless as Xie Fanjin and climbs into his bed?
Bingyi tore off a piece of chicken wing, looked at Xie Fanjin cautiously, and put it in front of Chen Xinyan.
Because he felt that Chen Xinyan was too thin, and she still had a long way to go, and she had to eat well to get better.
Xie Fanjin found it a little funny. It had to be said that Bingyi loved his wife quite a lot.
Seeing this, Chen Xinyuan, the sixth Miss Chen, swallowed her saliva and said to Chen Xinxiu, the third Miss Chen, "Third sister, you said that Fourth Sister is so lucky. Although she has to marry a servant, she doesn't have to be exposed to the wind and rain and she eats so well."
Chen Xinxiu walked aside with a gloomy face.
Chen Xinyuan glared at Chen Xinxiu's back and said, "Hmph, you're so hypocritical!"
In the past, Chen Xinxiu had so many marriage proposals but none of them came to fruition because she was still thinking about Xiao Yanxi. Now, even after being exiled, Xiao Yanxi still doesn't like her and is instead having an affair with a maid.
"Ah, I want to eat roast duck too..."
Chen Xiaobao's voice was heard again from the side.
Originally, Chen Xiaobao wanted to rush over and snatch it, but he accidentally met Xiao Yanxi's cold gaze and was immediately scared.
Mrs. Chen Er hugged her son, glanced at Chen Xinyan, and then said with a smile: "Xinyan, at least..."
Chen Xinyan: "Second aunt, my mother and I are also taken in by Master Xiao and Miss Xie. I can't make the decision."
Mr. Chen Er was annoyed: "You can't make the decision, so why don't you eat less and give some to Xiaobao? We haven't treated you three houses unfairly before. Why are you and your daughter so unkind?"
Mrs. Chen San laughed: "How can you say you're not treating us unfairly? You give us your leftover clothes and fruits and vegetables, and then you say something mean to us?"
Master Chen Er was annoyed: "Third sister-in-law, how can you say that? We didn't give you any leftovers from the second branch. We only gave you the best ones!"
Mrs. Chen San glanced at Mrs. Chen Er and said, "Then why don't you ask your wife, or ask the servants in the mansion?"
Mr. Chen Er glanced at Mrs. Chen Er, who looked a little evasive: "Nonsense, how can it be considered not a good thing? Our family has a little money, shouldn't we live frugally?"
Chen Xinyan nodded: "Yes, Second Uncle's family eats chicken, so they give us the unwanted chicken intestines and chicken feet. You eat fish, so you give us the fish heads, tails, and intestines. If your family eats pork, you give us the pig skin and pig offal."
This is not kindness at all, it is clearly a humiliation. How much hatred must be there for Mrs. Chen Er to do this?
Old Master Chen was also a little surprised. No wonder the third branch was so distant from them.
Mr. Chen Er did not expect that Mrs. Chen Er would go so far.
Mrs. Chen Er was still very confident: "What's wrong? Those are all good things. If you don't want them, just say so and I can give them to others. What's wrong with chicken intestines and pig offal? Why can't we eat them? It's just that you have a backer now and you have the power to speak confidently. This is not the time to go to me to borrow rice and grain when you can't fill your stomach!"
Xie Fanjin was a little annoyed and poked Xiao Yanxi in annoyance.
Xiao Yanxi gave Bingyi a look.
At this time, Bingyi stood up.
Mrs. Chen Er shuddered with fear.
Bing Yi: "No matter how much they used from you, I will return it to you."
Mrs. Chen Er and her husband looked at each other and were somewhat delighted.
Mrs. Chen Er began to settle the accounts. Before she could say anything, Mrs. Chen San stood up and said, "We don't owe them anything. We don't live as comfortably as they do, but we, mother and daughter, do all the laundry, cooking, and mending at home. They thought it was too expensive to make clothes at the tailor shop, so they bought the material and had us make them. But they never paid us a penny."
Chen Xinyan: "My mother is a pretty good cook, and I have to help in the kitchen. I have been doing this every day for more than ten years, and I don't earn a penny."
Madam Chen outside scolded, "You little bitch! When the third brother married you, he spent twenty taels on a betrothal gift. Why didn't you mention this?"
Xie Fanjin was so angry that he laughed. He took a bite of the roast duck and said, "Bingyi can also pay for this to his mother-in-law."
Old Madam Chen was immediately excited and looked delighted. Twenty taels of silver!
Mrs. Chen San felt a little embarrassed. Isn't this inappropriate?
Xiao Yanxi raised his eyebrows slightly. He didn't believe that Xie Fanjin would take the initiative to give money to the Chen family.
Then, Xie Fanjin spoke slowly: "Just ask Chen Xinyan and his brother to change their surnames to the same as the Third Madam's."
Old Madam Chen's face changed. Damn girl, it turns out she was lying to her!
