Qin Shuanglu thought that even if Qin Baishi didn’t give her face, she should at least give face to her elder brother and sister-in-law. Saying this would make her elder brother and sister-in-law feel better, and maybe they would even feel indignant like her and start a rebellion, then let’s see how Qin Baishi could still favor Qin Yunzheng.
As a result, Qin Gang didn’t play along with her act at all. The rough man said what he meant and smiled honestly, “No need, I’m a man, I’m strong, I’m not so delicate that I need to be nourished. Let Zheng’er be nourished, I’ll just drink some black flour porridge and eat a cornbread.”
“Yes, Zheng’er is the youngest, she should be nourished properly, we elders can just fill our stomachs.”
Qin Heshi smiled gently, and there was not a trace of resentment or jealousy in her eyes.
She was the type of person who obeyed her husband after marriage, as if her husband was the sky, so she had no complaints about Qin family’s beloved Yun Zheng, and even spoiled her mindlessly.
Qin Shuanglu was furious at having such terrible teammates. Looking at the others at the table, all of them were happily munching on their cornbread and gruel, not even glancing at the sponge cake, tacitly agreeing to leave it for Yun Zheng. What a bunch of idiots!
They don’t even fight for the good food, what kind of future could they have?
Qin Baishi saw right through her and started cursing, “Did I give birth to a pig? All you do is stare at food! There’s only so much grain in the fields. If we eat it all, will we sell you to pay the grain tax? Are we going to starve the family? Just to feed your lazy, good-for-nothing mouth?”
Qin Shuanglu looked aggrieved.
“Mom, am I even your biological daughter…?”
Qin Baishi slammed her chopsticks down.
“If you keep babbling, there won’t be any more gruel or cornbread for you!”
Qin Shuanglu immediately fell silent. She knew Qin Baishi meant what she said, and she didn’t want to end up not even getting enough to eat, let alone the sponge cake.
Yun Zheng sat there feeling a little awkward, but she wisely refrained from interrupting. She knew that the original owner of this body held a queen-like status at home.
Qin Baishi placed the only bowl of sponge cake in front of her, saying, “My dear girl, eat up. You’re a hero today. Grandma will use the sugar coupons to exchange for brown sugar boiled eggs for you later.”
Yun Zheng was touched; it felt so good to be pampered. She immediately scooped two large spoonfuls of sponge cake into her and Qin Zhihua’s bowls.
“Grandma, Mom, you should eat some too.”
Qin Zhihua’s eyes reddened as she looked at the cake in her bowl. This was the first time her daughter had ever put food on her plate.
“You eat, you still need to grow. Mom is full from eating cornbread.”
“That’s right, Grandma won’t eat either. Grandma can’t eat eggs; they make her dizzy. Giving them to the girl.”
Qin Baishi poured the cake back into Yun Zheng’s bowl. Her constitution was strange; eating meat would give her diarrhea, so all the meat was given to the girl. Wearing new clothes would cause her to get rashes, so all the cloth she bought was used to make clothes for the girl, while she wore discarded rags.
Ultimately, this old woman was simply doing her best to give her granddaughter the very best of everything.
Yun Zheng’s eyes welled up with tears. Knowing she couldn’t reason with the old woman, she didn’t refuse, but instead said, “Grandma, when I earn money in the future, I’ll take you to the hospital to get checked out, and the doctor will find a way to let you eat as much meat and fish as you want.”
Although she had gotten the land and grain coupons back from the Cheng family, it was only a temporary solution; the deficit of the past six years couldn’t be made up for in a short time.
Therefore, Yun Zheng had to make the Qin family rich and live a life a hundred times more prosperous than before.
“Oh my, my good girl is so filial! Grandma is waiting!”
Qin Baishi was coaxed into smiling broadly, leaving Qin Shuanglu speechless.
In the end, wasn’t the sponge cake all eaten by Qin Yunzheng?
If she had been given the sponge cake, would she have been this filial? It was just a matter of saying nice things.
….
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to sleep. There wasn’t much entertainment in the countryside, so everyone went to bed around seven or eight o’clock and got up early to work in the fields.
Yun Zheng thus pulled Qin Yunsheng aside, “Third Sister, you’ll be sharing a room with me from now on.”
Most of the family’s courtyard had been sold, leaving only Yun Zheng in a brick house.
The others lived in thatched huts, and the three Qin brothers shared a room, leaving Qin Yunsheng, Qin Baishi, Qin Zhihua, and Qin Shuanglu cramped together.
Qin Yunsheng was flattered, “Fifth Sister, didn’t you dislike sleeping on the same kang (heated brick bed) with others? I’m afraid I’ll crowd you!”
“Others are others, you’re my sister,” Yun Zheng smiled sincerely. “From now on, we’ll be best sisters. If you’re good to me, I’ll be good to you too.”
Qin Yunsheng was moved to tears, even more determined to be good to her fifth sister, promising to use all her earnings to buy her delicious food.
Yun Zheng, being a modern woman, couldn’t sleep past eight o’clock.
So, after Yun Sheng fell asleep beside her, she began to ponder ways to make money. However, she didn’t have a single penny to her name; how to become rich was the real problem.
Thinking back to how she’d wasted ten years with the tycoon who’d imprisoned her, only to have fate finally intervene and kill him in a car accident, allowing her three years of carefree bliss and making her an enviable business queen.
Now, all gone, back to square one.
Fortunately, your father is always your father; she could carve out her own path in her past life, and in a different environment, she could still live a brilliant life!
Just then, a flash of white light appeared before her eyes, and she vanished from the spot.
