"I just stewed it for her." Ji Huai felt that there was nothing wrong, and his expression did not change. He looked at Tang Xiuer with a worried look on his face, "Didn't my sister-in-law say that I have to patch it up for her? I also need to get something good to patch it up. My injury has only just happened. Okay, I didn’t go hunting, how can I get anything good? I can only give her this first."
These words made Sister-in-law Ji choke and unable to refute. After all, she did say that, but she did it to make Ji Huai want to give birth to a child, not to let Tang Xiuer eat and drink well.
Sister-in-law Ji was on the side, looking embarrassed. At that time, she also asked Tang Xiuer to take more supplements, but now she couldn't say anything and wanted to take some back to eat, her intestines were turning green.
Ji Huai spoke again, "Xiu'er is too thin, and I'm worried that something will happen to the child. If it doesn't taste good even if it is stewed dry, I will pick some mushrooms and let her try them."
"Yes." Sister-in-law Ji smiled coquettishly, what else could she say
Ji Huai talked about Tang Xiuer in such a pitiful manner. If they opened their mouths to share the food, their faces would make people laugh! And the other party also blocked their way, and they couldn't speak out.
"Put the mushrooms in and stew for a while." Ji Huai said to Tang Xiuer.
"Okay." Tang Xiuer quickly stood up, opened the lid, and threw the mushrooms in.
Ji's family hadn't eaten meat for a long time. As soon as she opened the lid, the smell of meat came out. Sister-in-law Ji swallowed her saliva and looked straight at her. Sister-in-law Ji's expression was not much better, and her eyes were almost on fire.
It didn't matter if Tang Xiuer covered her or not. From the corner of her eye, she caught the looks from the two of them and her scalp went numb. In the end, it was Ji Huai who reminded her to quickly cover the pot.
As soon as the pot lid was closed, the smell slowly dissipated, and Sister-in-law Ji and Sister-in-law Ji came back to their senses. They stayed for a while, and then reluctantly found a reason to leave.
Although I am no longer in the kitchen, my heart is still concerned about it.
After the meat was cooked, Ji Huai took the pot to the utility room. The wind blew from the other side, and Sister-in-law Ji, who was sitting at the door, smelled it and couldn't even swallow how much saliva she swallowed.
From time to time she heard Ji Huai's voice:
"Eat more meat and drink more soup."
"You only eat this little? How can that be okay? Eat more."
“Eat more meat, eat more.”
"So thin, yet eating so little."
…
Tang Xiuer seemed like she really couldn't eat anymore and kept refusing.
Sister-in-law Ji and Sister-in-law Ji were even more angry when they heard this. Their appetites were aroused, and they were so hungry that they couldn't even eat anything they wanted. Tang Xiuer ate it until she didn't want to eat it.
After a while, Ji Huai gave up his advice and said, "There's half left, so just eat when you're hungry."
Tang Xiuer was so full that she half-lyed on the bed and responded.
Sister-in-law Ji's two sons and Sister-in-law Ji's two daughters came back and saw the processed squirrel hair next to the kitchen. They thought they had meat to eat, but they were happy in vain.
Ji Heng and Ji Xiu still obsessed with eating meat, especially Ji Heng, who was dishonest even after being beaten and even complained about Sister Ji.
He said he would give him meat, but later he didn't give him meat and even beat him.
His mother's words are the most unreasonable. She will save the chickens and ducks until the Chinese New Year. When will the Chinese New Year be celebrated? His mother knows how to lie and deceive people!
Ever since Ji Heng and Sister-in-law Ji had a bad temper, he could manage not to say a word to Sister-in-law Ji, but he still held a grudge in his heart.
Tang Xiuer felt that she was eating alone, but in fact, she told Ji Huai before eating that she wanted to leave some for others. Ji Huai answered simply, "It's just such a little thing, what can I give you?"
"But the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law gave us food, isn't that bad?" she reminded.
This was one of the few times that he refused to share the meat between the two families and left it all for her to eat, which really made her a little confused and flattered.
If he wakes up again, won't she be the one who suffers then? She ate so much by herself, and he would definitely blame her when the time comes, and maybe blame her for not persuading him.
"I used to give them meat. Besides, I was separated as soon as I was injured, and you became so thin with a child. Am I stupid? I just gave them back this little thing? Don't say it's just this little thing. Even if there is more, I won't be willing to give it!" Ji Huai said, his face downcast and his words slightly aggravated.
Tang Xiuer grabbed her hand, surprised that Ji Huai would say such a thing.
Did he realize the other party's indifference? In fact, she already knew that before, he was just trying to please, using prey in exchange for the other person's attention.
That's not affection and respect at all.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Ji Huai calmed down for a while and said in a deep voice, "You don't have to be afraid of them. Now that you are married to me, you are my wife. If anyone bullies you, I will not spare her lightly!"
Before he finished speaking, Tang Xiuer raised her head suddenly, her cool eyes blinking again and again, looking straight at him.
Ji Huai looked a little unnatural and didn't even look at her small and delicate face. He put his hand into a fist and put it to his mouth. He coughed lightly and warned, "Be brave. If someone bullies you, doesn't that mean they bully me? Of course I won't let it go. You are too thin, so you need to eat more. You can eat whatever I tell you to eat."
Tang Xiuer: "...Yeah."
She regretted agreeing to it the next day. In the middle of the night, her feet often cramped. Ji Huai didn't know where to go to ask for a folk remedy, which was said to be relieved by eating fish soup for three days in a row.
Not only do you have to drink soup, but you also have to eat fish.
So Ji Huai didn't go hunting. He went fishing and caught several fish. He didn't eat them all at once and kept them in a water tank in the utility room.
