Chapter 321: 106: I always listen to my wife, personally unmasking you_6
The generous sister had given her two yuan today. Normally, she could only manage to save one or two cents.
She would keep the remaining 60 cents to account for when she got back.
The little girl was named Qian Zhaodi.
The name Zhaodi, as the name suggests, was given because the adults in her family wanted to raise a boy.
After safely stashing away the money, Qian Zhaodi dragged her frail steps back home. As she passed a small puddle, she carefully washed her face, and thoughtfully, she slurped up some water to rinse her mouth.
She couldnât let her parents know that she had snuck a bite!
Qian Zhaodi stopped in front of a brick house with a shining light, took a deep breath, and went in.
The light inside the house was warm, and you could hear such dialogue, âSon, eat more meat. You can grow taller by eating more meat.â
Meat.
Qian Zhaodi couldnât help but lick her lips.
She couldnât even remember the last time she had meat.
But the little boy in the house protested, âI donât want to eat meat! I want to eat chicken legs, I want to eat braised chicken legs!â
The gentle female voice soothed, âSon, mom didnât buy any chicken today. Iâll make you braised chicken tomorrow, okay? Just have one bite today, be a good boy.â
âNo, no!â
Qian Zhaodi walked into the room.
The room fell silent.
The little boy at the head of the table glanced at Qian Zhaodi in a threatening manner.
This little boy was Qian Zhaodiâs younger brother, Qian Wangcai.
The woman sitting on Qian Wangcaiâs left was the mistress of this house, Zhao Xiaoxi.
The man sitting to the right of Qian Wangcai was the master of this house, Qian Shengqian.
âWorthless girl, youâre finally back! Whereâs the money!â Zhao Xiaoxi stood up cursing and swearing, reaching out to her.
Qian Zhaodi took out the crumpled 60 cents from her pocket and handed them to the woman.
The next second, her ears were harshly twisted, âYou always bring back so little! Confess! Have you, you worthless girl, been squirreling money away?â
Qian Zhaodi cried out in pain, âNo! Mom, I havenât!â
Qian Shengqian swung a duster harshly onto the girlâs face and arms, leaving glaring red marks, âYou worthless piece of trash! If you dare hide money, Iâll beat you to death!â
âBeat her to death! Beat this money-wasting good-for-nothing to death!â Qian Wangcai clapped joyously on the chair, his eyes flashing with excitement.
Qian Zhaodi immediately knelt down, âMom, Dad, I didnât conceal anything, really I didnât! Please, stop hitting me!â
Only then did Qian Shengqian and his wife Zhao Xiaoxi stop.
âUnlucky thing! Come and eat now. Donât let word get out and have people saying we mistreat you and donât let you eat your fill!â Zhao Xiaoxi harshly knocked a chipped bowl on the table.
The broken bowl contained half a bowl of rice soup, with only a few grains of rice in it, a sharp contrast to the other rich dishes on the table.
Qian Zhaodi got up from the ground, trembling hands holding the bowl of rice soup, sipping it in small mouthfuls.
This was the life she lived at home.
It was also the reason why, even though she was twelve years old, people always thought she was only seven or eight.
Qian Wangcai picked up a piece of meat and held it out to Qian Zhaodi, âMoney-wasting good-for-nothing, do you want to eat meat?â
Qian Zhaodi swallowed.
Yes.
How could she not?
Even in her dreams, she wanted to.
The next second, Qian Wangcai threw the meat onto the floor, âIf you want to eat meat, pick it up from the floor with your mouth, remember not to use your hands!â
Qian Zhaodiâs eyes tightened, but before she could react, her ear was once again violently twisted, âYou worthless wench! Didnât you hear what your brother said to you? He kindly offered you some meat, and you dare to glare at him! Eat that piece of meat right now! Or Iâll beat you to death!â
Although the meat had fallen on the floor, it was still a piece of meat after all.
âThank you, little brother, Iâll eat it now.â Qian Zhaodi placed her bowl on the table, leaned down, and bit into the fatty meat with her mouth.
The fat on the meat was cut quite thick, providing a satisfying mouthful. Yet, Qian Zhaodiâs eyes were welling up with tears.
Being brought up in a family that values males more than females, she could only struggle to survive.
But she would not accept her fate!
Once she had saved enough money, she would leave this place.
What Qian Zhaodi didnât know was that without an introduction letter, she wouldnât even be able to buy a train ticket.
Without an introduction letter, even if she did manage to escape, she would likely end up as a vagabond.
âHahaha! Mom, Dad, doesnât she look like a dog? The dog at the Tiansâ house also eats this way.â
âJust like it! My precious son is so smart!â
Qian Wangcai scooped up another piece of meat and threw it on the floor, exclaiming in excitement, âMoney-losing goods, you bark like a dog.â
âBark now! Are you deaf?â
âWoof!â With a piece of meat in her mouth, Qian Zhaodi swallowed all her grievances and unwillingness.
The laughter in the room grew louder. From a distance, it sounded like a warm and happy family.

After Ni Yang returned home, she started to make dinner.
She had stayed in Guangguan city for six days, so she planned to make a hearty meal that night.
Soon, a sumptuous meal of four dishes and a soup was served. The Braised Pork Belly wasnât greasy at all.
Braised Pork Belly is a good source of quality protein and fatty acids, providing heme and cysteamine to improve iron absorption, useful for correcting iron deficiency anemia. It also nourishes the bodyâs yin and moistens dryness.
Therefore, fatty meat is a good thing for women.
The shrimp stir-fried with peas was refreshing.
The combination of shrimp and peas can help enhance the bust line.
Having been out for six days, four of which were spent on a train eating simple meals, Ni Yang had almost forgotten her bust enhancement plans. Now that she was back home, she had to pick it up again.
The spicy and delicious boiled fish.
Water boiled fish not only tastes good but also helps to curb cravings. Ni Yangâs water boiled fish was so delicious that at the end of the meal, Ni Chenggui and Ni Cuihua even used the remaining soup to make a rice soup!
Shepherdâs purse tofu soup.
Shepherdâs purse contains a lot of oxalic acid, tartaric acid, malic acid, protein, fat, etc., which can treat red and swollen pain, conjunctivitis, night blindness, glaucoma, etc. Furthermore, the combination of mustard and tofu has the effect of beautifying the eyes and refreshing the body.
Eating more shepherdâs purse will make your eyes speak.
As soon as Ni Yang brought the dishes to the table, Ni Chenggui walked in holding his bag, âYangyang, glad youâre back! Since you left, your mother has been waiting for you every day!â
Ni Yang said with a smile, âNi Auntie, we can eat now.â
Several little white rabbits hopped in behind Ni Chenggui. Ni Yang squinted her eyes, âThese rabbits seem pretty chubby.â
âThey have been raised for more than half a year, how could they not be fat?â Ni Cuihua walked in holding a child.
Ni Yang stroked her chin, âMom, Ni Auntie, would you prefer roasted rabbit or braised rabbit?â
What?
Theyâre planning to eat rabbit?
Hearing this, it seemed that the rabbits understood. They got scared and ran out of the room.
