Xu Qing said and glanced at Mo Qiu, who was silent.
Mo Qiu was threatened by Xu Qing last time and was afraid of her, but this didn’t mean that she wouldn’t take advantage of her.
“What? A box of eggs and two catties of pork!” Chen Qiulian immediately screamed, causing the originally lively crowd to fall silent. Everyone looked at Chen Qiulian in a daze.
Xu Jiangzhong’s face flushed and he felt embarrassed. He knew that they had taken advantage of Xu Qing and her family every time, but he actually couldn’t help but come again.
Last night, Chen Qiulian had indeed received eggs and meat, but there was only half a box of eggs and a catty of pork. Xu Jiangzhong was originally resentful of Xu Jiangxi’s stinginess, but now, seeing that Xu Qing didn’t seem to be lying, and looking at Mo Qiu, who seemed shifty, she guessed that Mo Qiu had taken it for herself.
Chen Qiulian looked at Mo Qiu fiercely. “Did you take half of it?”
Mo Qiu said guiltily, “How could I dare to? Xu Qing must be lying!”
Chen Qiulian was a little suspicious.
Li Bixia, who was watching from the side, realized that something was wrong and hurriedly said, “How can you say that Little Qing is lying? We neighbors saw it with our own eyes last night. The box was filled with eggs and a large piece of meat. Xu Huai was panting from exhaustion. Everyone praised Little Qing and her brother for being filial!”
Some neighbors did see it clearly and even chatted with Xu Qing for a while. They all said that Xu Jiangxi was really filial. The Xu family had already treated him like this, but they still personally came to invite them…
Xu Qing smiled faintly. Last night, she had gone with Xu Huai to deliver something. Along the way, she had deliberately shown off the things she had brought with her to guard against today’s situation.
Mo Qiu didn’t expect things to turn out like this. She was so frightened that she hurriedly ran behind Xu Yunqiao and whispered, “Sixth Sister, help Sister-in-law.” She could only ask Xu Yunqiao for help now.
“Sister-in-law, it’s not that I don’t want to help you, but you know that Mother hates it when someone steals something.” Xu Yunqiao wasn’t stupid.
“Sixth Sister! Think about the reason why we’re here today! If our family makes a fuss, how can we ask Xu Qing and her family for benefits?” Mo Qiu looked at the furious Chen Qiulian and was afraid.
Xu Yunqiao felt that what Mo Qiu said made sense, but she didn’t want to let Mo Qiu off so easily. She then whispered, “Sister-in-law is right. However, I saw a jade bracelet I like recently…”
Mo Qiu gritted her teeth. She knew that Xu Yunqiao wanted money. She looked at Chen Qiulian, who was about to pounce on her, and could only nod. “Alright, buy whatever you like. I’ll send you money tonight.”
Hearing this, Xu Yunqiao nodded in satisfaction. She walked to the side of the furious Chen Qiulian with an arrogant expression and whispered, “Mother, don’t be anxious. We didn’t come today for half a box of eggs.”
Chen Qiulian felt that what Xu Yunqiao said made sense, especially since these words came from her daughter she doted on. She was waiting for Xu Yunqiao to marry a rich man in the future. Then, she looked up and glared at Mo Qiu without continuing to pursue the matter.
Seeing that Chen Qiulian didn’t continue to cause trouble, Old Master Xu didn’t interrupt.
The surrounding people treated it as entertainment and sat down to watch.
Xu Jiangxi sighed silently and pushed his wheelchair forward. “Father, Mother, take a seat.”
Chen Qiulian and her family all came. Xu Jiangxi arranged two large tables to fit them.
Then, the dishes were served one after another. Xu Qing’s family was busy entertaining the guests, and even the five-year-old Xu Xiang was busy. As for Chen Qiulian’s family, all of them acted as if they had never eaten in their lives. They snatched all sorts of food at the dining table and wolfed it down. A few children started to cry because they couldn’t get any food, but in the next second, they continued to snatch.
Their table manners made the people at the surrounding tables lose their appetite. Although most of Xu Jiangxi’s family’s banquets were meat dishes and tasted good, they shouldn’t be so shameless. However, not all villagers were like this…
Xu Qing was about to serve the dishes when she saw Zhao Bing’s son, Xu Mao. He stood on the chair and leaned forward. His hand, which was covered in snot, was reaching for the pig trotter. His hand was covered in meat and was sticky. His saliva also flowed into the bowl of soup beside him along with his snot…
Xu Qing almost vomited in disgust. She turned around and quickly left. It was simply unheard of. At this moment, Xu Qing was glad that they didn’t serve the dishes. She was even glad that she had secretly contacted others to help wash the vegetables and cook. Otherwise, all the dishes would have been ruined.
However, on second thought, what the Xu family was doing now was very beneficial to their family. She would tolerate it.
