古代闺秀被强高H

Chapter 723: the thing he feared the most——2

-------------------         

Old Madam Shen did not reply she pushed the bowl of rice gruel that her daughter was eating on the side with her foot as she sat down on the ground and said with a proud smile, " Who stole this? I got this!"      

As she spoke she started putting the packages on the ground and opened them. At once the tantalising scent of chicken porridge and braised pork filled the area causing many to look in her direction but Old Madam Shen was a crooked miser, she did not give anything to others and she did not even allow them to look at her meal, she lifted the wine jar that she was carrying in her hand and threw at the people who were looking at her food.      

" What are you looking at huh? I am telling you if you tried to snatch my food, I will seriously kill you all!" She roared at the people looking at her meal causing the others to look away. Even her own mer sons and daughters were scared away, they turned to look at their daddies but they both shook their heads and said, " You eat your rice gruel."      

The two mers knew their wife and Shen Hanxing too well. Even if the meal was too big for them, they will not share it with them instead they will rather hide it away to eat it in the morning or the noon. No one other than the two selfish women will be able to get anything from those boxes, if they tried they might even lose their ricer gruel.      

The young daughters and mer sons were upset but they also knew that their eldest sister and mother were selfish which was why they silently pursed their lips and then started eating the rice gruel that was as thin as water and did not have much rice in it.      

While the family suffered hardships right behind them Old Madam Shen and Shen Hanxing started to gobble the meat and shiny rice grains. Shen Hanxing loudly smacked her lips and licked her fingers boorishly as she showed off the piece of pork meat that she was eating to her younger sisters and ate while munching on the meat with her mouth wide open.      

She liked teasing and taunting her sisters, it made her feel great. Since she was liked by their mother and was doted on by her, Shen Hanxing\'s vanity was stroked.      

The young daughters of Shi Xi turned their heads away even though their eyes were shimmering with tears and their mouths were hanging low, they did not dare to ask for a piece of meat, they knew that their sister will only slap them if they did.      

They silently ate their rice gruel and did not say anything. Shi Xi\'s heart ached for his daughter when he saw them act like this but there was nothing he could do since the eldest daughter was a selfish woman, who only knew how to bully her sisters.      

When Shen Hanxing saw that her sisters did not burst into tears, she was slightly upset. If they did not cry then it would not be fun which was why she started to speak loudly as she munched on her meat, " Woah this meat is so juicy and soft..mhmm. Just putting it inside my mouth makes it melt …I can\'t believe I am eating something so good, hmmm. Soooo good. Sooo chewy."      

Her constant jabbering caused Ning Yu to slam his chopsticks on the bowl in front of him and he couldn\'t help but say, " Hanxing, are you sure that you want to marry a mer with that attitude? Is this how a woman is supposed to eat her meal? Look at your mother, she is eating so silently, why don\'t you learn something from her?"      

Ning Yu knew that he could not scold his daughter thus he could only praise his wife and ask Shen Hanxing to act like his wife who was too focused on eating her meal instead of taunting them.     

Shen Hanxing was slightly upset when she heard her daddy\'s words but she knew that there was nothing she could say to her which was why she turned to look at her mother and asked, " Mama, where did you get this meal from? Was some rich woman doing charity?"      

As she asked the other refugees also started to eavesdrop on their conversation, they too wanted to know where she got this delicious food from.      

Old Madam Shen did not reply at once, she first gobbled her second package and then took several bites of braised pork, only then did she take a gulp of her water and burped. " I got this from Shen Li\'s wife\'s concubines. Those disrespectful hussies were going on their way having fun, of course, I had to ask them to show their filial piety to me."      

Ning Yu, who was silently eating his meal stiffened as he raised his head and looked at his wife before he asked in a cold voice, " Did you see Shen Li with them?" The last thing he wanted was for his wife to badger their son after his marriage.      

" He was not with them, stupid little thing," snapped Old Madam Shen who was still upset that she could not get more benefits, she wanted to go to the Yu family house and receive all sorts of gifts but instead she had to come back here. " He ended up giving so much money to those concubines, they were having fun enjoying their lives to the fullest because that stupid mer gives them money when he should be giving it to us!"      

Ning Yu sucked in a sharp breath, looks like what he feared the most has happened.
