Chapter 157: Cheap Goods

Lin Shuya forced a smile. “Isn’t Mom here? I’ll make more for Mom.”

Lin Shuya was in a mess, and her hair was messy.

Qin Hai frowned in disgust.

But he was also relieved. “Ya’er, it’s good that you have the heart.”

“Bullsh*t!” When Old Madam Qin walked over, she heard Lin Shuya’s words, and her son even praised her.

Old Madam Qin spat, “I was the one who asked her to cook so much for Ah Hai to eat. How dare she retort, saying that she can’t eat so much and only needs to cook four dishes? Is this how she treats me?”

Qin Hai was a little dissatisfied with Lin Shuya, so he didn’t say anything.

“Alright, let’s eat.”

Qin Hai looked around the living room, but he didn’t see Qin Churou. Qin Hai frowned. “Where’s Rou’er? Shouldn’t she be back by now?”

It was almost 6 o’clock, and Lin Shuya was also worried. She hurriedly said, “I’ll give her a call.”

Qin Churou was dawdling outside, not wanting to come back.

At this moment, Lin Shuya called, so she could only rush to the Qin family.

“Aiyo, Churou is finally willing to come back.” Old Madam Qin said in a strange voice, “How can you make the whole family wait for you to eat?”

Qin Churou apologized in a low voice, “Grandma, I was delayed because I had something to do.”

“Alright, let’s go eat.”

In front of Qin Hai, Old Madam Qin did not go too far. She knew her limits and went too far. If she did, she would make Qin Hai sympathize with the mother and daughter, and Qin Hai would also side with them.

With a good sense of propriety and filial piety pressing on Qin Hai, Qin Hai would not complain in his heart.

The family of four sat at the dining table.

Apart from the other five meats and two dishes, there were also two salted fish that had already been cooked, and they were very fishy.

Old Madam Qin’s eyes rolled around.

She took the chopsticks that she had eaten before and picked up the salted fish for Lin Shuya and Qin Churou.

They subconsciously wanted to remove their bowls, but it was too late. The rice was surprisingly salted fish meat, and there was quite a lot of it.

Old Madam Qin said kindly, “Shuya, Churou, eat more. I pickled this myself and brought it here for you to try.”

Lin Shuya’s expression was as disgusting as if she had eaten a fly.

There were rice grains on Old Madam Qin’s chopsticks, and they were already on the fish.

Lin Shuya held the chopsticks in her hand and did not move. Old Madam Qin’s face turned cold. “Do you not like the fish cooked by an old lady like me?”

Lin Shuya’s lips curled into a smile. She forced a smile and said, “How could I? Mom, I like it very much.”

Lin Shuya endured the nausea and picked up a small piece of fish and put it into her mouth.

It was not only fishy but also very salty.

Lin Shuya couldn’t stand it after eating just a little bit. However, she could only bite down on it under Old Madam Qin’s gaze.

Old Madam Qin nodded in satisfaction and looked at Qin Churou again. The meaning in her eyes was very obvious.

Qin Churou could only eat it.

Qin Churou looked down on these salted fish, thinking that only poor people would eat these things.

Old Madam Qin was really too much. It wasn’t like her father didn’t give her money, yet she still ate these cheap goods!

Qin Churou muttered in her heart, but she didn’t dare to show a trace of dissatisfaction on her face. If Old Madam Qin discovered it, there were many ways to torment her.

Qin Churou frowned. She ate very slowly, and so did Lin Shuya.

This thing was really disgusting, and they couldn’t accept it.

However, Qin Hai ate with relish,

Qin Hai grew up in the countryside, and even eating these salted fish was a very extravagant thing.

Salted fish had become a delicacy in Qin Hai’s eyes.

Qin Churou and Lin Shuya hadn’t finished eating the fish meat for a long time. They were thinking of throwing it away after Old Madam Qin left.

However, Old Madam Qin had been staring at them and had no intention of leaving.

Lin Shuya and Qin Churou could only bite the bullet and eat it.
