Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Yuezheng Xiao returned to the village, the first section of the Shao family were busy making lunch!

They had caught a lot of fish and shrimps from the river and the seafood porridge was being cooked.

They specially selected fresh prawns, removed the prawn lines, added eel segments, and marinated thinly sliced fish filets. When the porridge was almost cooked, they put all these fresh fish into the porridge.

The rice porridge was put to boil again. After a while, they added a small amount of homemade soybean paste, stir-fried crushed peanuts, added chopped green onion and coriander, and then put in a small amount of salt. The delicious seafood porridge was ready.

The fish filets were tender and smooth, and the shrimp and eel segments were mouth-watering. The surface was wrapped in a layer of rice porridge with a fragrant smell of rice.

The porridge made with fresh ingredients was so appealing.

They did not steam rice for lunch, instead a basket of steamed buns with diced smoked meat, diced bamboo shoots, and diced mushrooms as fillings was prepared.

They had a good harvest on this day. While cooking porridge, they picked a Dot of finger-sized small fish, wraDDed it in egg batter and deep-fried it.

Everything was freshly cooked and crispy.

They added a bowl of kimchi, a few sliced salted duck eggs, and a bowl of fried chili sauce with dried radish and river shrimp. Although it was homely, it was delicious.

Qiao Xuan understood that Ms. Yan had been eating a lot at her own home and liked fish, so she picked two crucian carps for her to eat, and even asked if the third section of the family wanted to have it.

The other sections of the family learned that the first section of the family was ignoring them, thanks to the guest and the busy spring day, and Shao Liulang was absent too, whilst Silang was working for the Yan Family, so they did not pester the first section of the family again.

Shao Meiling was already engaged, and Ms. Niu could not possibly let her join them.

Shao Xiaozhi was too timid to show up, even though Ms. Ma asked her to.

Ms. Ma’s face sank when she saw the fish delivered by Qiao Xuan and Taotao. This thing was not tasty at all!

Ms. Ma did not like it, but it was a free gift that could be used to feed the chicken. So, she accepted it anyway.

Taotao pursed her lips, complaining in a small voice. “What is wrong with the

Third Aunt-in-law? She always looks as if we owe her everything.”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Isn’t that what she is always like?”

Nis. Yan was very glad to accept the gift happily.

She saw how Qiao Xuan cooked the fish. What it needed was to figure out how much oil, salt, ginger, scallions and sauce to be added so that the smell could be removed. Then, it was fried in the hot oil with garlic and pepper, simple, yet delicious.

Now that she was a great hero in the family, Ms. Niu might utter a few words in distress yet she did not dare to comment on how much oil she used to cook the fish.

She could just ignore the nagging.

Qiao Xuan would not invite Ms. Yan over for lunch since they had male guests at home. It was not proper at all.

Ms. Yan processed the two fishes cheerfully but was seen by Ms. Zhang, who fanned away the smell and said, “You are in a good relations.h.i.+p with the first section of the family, but look at what trash they have sent you? You won’t be able to eat this thing, will you?”

She added. “But then… aren’t you always a good friend with your Fifth Sister-in-law? Why were you not invited to have lunch with them when they have a guest over and instead gave you such a terrible piece of trash? They don’t like me, but they like you, right?”

Ms. Yan frowned.

Ms. Zhang was getting more and more ridiculous in her behavior when no one was around..
