Qiao Xuan had already packed up her dowry, and now she was with Fang Shi, looking after the child and chatting.
Seeing this, Qiao Xuan’s eyes lit up and she exclaimed with joy, “Wow! Xiao Qi, you’re amazing! You actually caught live wild chickens!”
Qiao Xuan’s praise was sincere, after all, she had never seen it before.
Shao Xiao Qi was not familiar with Five Sister-in-law, and she felt a little shy under her praise. He smiled sheepishly and whispered, “I didn’t catch them, I set traps in the mountains.”
Qiao Xuan continued to praise, “That’s still amazing!”
Fang Shi was also very happy and smiled, “That’s right, our Xiao Qi loves to go to the mountains, and occasionally brings back game. It’s a skill. Oh, this is great! With these two wild chickens, we won’t have to kill any more chickens tonight. I was just worrying about it! This is great!”
Qiao Xuan naturally played along and praised and curiously asked about Shao Xiao Qi’s hunting stories. The two of them had a lively conversation.
Qiao Xuan listened with great interest, and Fang Shi was delighted by her praise.
Fang Shi was truly happy, and it happened to make her happy.
Yesterday, Qiao Xuan entered the house, and tonight the three households had to have a reunion dinner together. It was also a way to let Qiao Xuan meet the people from the second and third households.
This dinner was also to welcome the new daughter-in-law to the Shao family, so it had to be more abundant.
Just thinking about having to kill a fat chicken to entertain the greedy and shameless people from the second and third households made her feel heartbroken.
Especially since yesterday’s wedding feast had plenty of food left over. She had planned to keep these dishes for tonight’s reunion dinner. But unexpectedly, the two shameless siblings from the second and third households secretly took all the dishes when she wasn’t paying attention!
If yesterday wasn’t a special day, she would have had a big fight with them.
Thinking that she still had to kill a fat chicken to serve them tonight made her even more annoyed.
But this meal was also to give face to the new daughter-in-law, so she had to do it no matter how upset she was.
Who knew that her youngest son had caught two wild chickens!
These two wild chickens looked quite fat, so they didn’t need to kill any more chickens. Of course, Fang Shi’s mood improved.
After chatting for a while and seeing that it was getting late, Fang Shi happily carried the two wild chickens to the kitchen to prepare for boiling water to kill them.
Qiao Xuan offered to help, but she was firmly rejected. Fang Shi smiled and praised her before stopping her from helping.
Qiao Xuan returned to her room with nothing to do, thinking that she couldn’t continue like this in the future. Should she learn to make shoes or something to pass the time, so that she wouldn’t be so bored…
While she was lost in thought, she suddenly saw Shao Tao Tao coming in. When she saw her, she was taken aback, and then she panicked and lowered her head, whimpering, “Five, Five Sister-in-law…”
“What’s wrong, Tao Tao?” Qiao Xuan approached, hesitatingly asking with concern, “Your eyes are so red—did you cry? What happened?”
When she saw her younger sister-in-law looking so sad and as if she had been crying, she naturally had to ask.
Upon hearing her question, Shao Tao Tao became even more upset, her eyes turned red, and she almost cried, “Five, Sister-in-law gave me a silk flower, but Second Sister and Fourth Sister snatched it away… I’m sorry, Five Sister-in-law, I didn’t mean to…”
