The Peasant Wife: The Prime Minister's Beloved

"Money from the Chen family? Have you two forgotten that when we broke off the engagement, I didn't take a single penny from the Chen family." Chen Xi sneered.

How could Mrs. Chen, who was so stingy that she even held a copper coin tightly in her hand, as if she could squeeze water out of it, allow her to accumulate wealth quietly in the Chen family?

"Maybe you secretly hid some private money when you were in the Chen family, so you were so tough when you broke off the engagement and didn't even want the money."

Zhou Xuemei's mean face looked particularly ugly at this moment.

Old Mrs. Chen also interrupted at this critical moment, "Girl, if you really brought money from the Chen family, then you have to give us half of the things you bought."

These two women are so shameless that they can say such shameless words without batting an eyelid.

Chen Xi raised a mocking arc at the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Why should I share it with you? Is there any connection between us?"

Her words were full of contempt, and her eyes were cold, as if she was looking at two strangers.

"You uneducated girl, the Chen family raised you for sixteen years, and now you cut off the relationship and even moved the Chen family's money to the Xie family. You are such a traitor. Now you have become powerful, right?"

Old Mrs. Chen pointed at Chen Xi with a trembling finger, her face turning from red to blue in anger.

Chen Xi did not flinch. He looked directly at Old Lady Chen. Every word he spoke was like a knife, cutting through the hypocritical family affection. "The Chen family raised me for sixteen years? Which of the money my parents worked so hard to earn outside was not handed over to you? And how did you treat us siblings? Even the pension after my father's accidental death was controlled by you. If it weren't for the justice of the county magistrate, I would have died long ago."

After saying that, Chen Xi slammed the door firmly, unwilling to waste any more words with the two heartless and ungrateful people outside the door.

Hearing this, Old Lady Chen seemed to have all her strength drained away. She sat down on the cold stone pavement and began to cry and rage, "I won't live any longer. My granddaughter treated me like this and even used the Chen family's money to support that pretty boy. Come and give me some advice!"

She beat her chest and cried loudly, but the neighbors were already used to her farce and no one wanted to come forward to deal with her.

Zhou Xuemei felt humiliated when she saw this. She tugged at her mother-in-law's sleeve and whispered, "Why don't we go back first and discuss this matter slowly. This damn girl won't even let us in, let alone give us our things."

So, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law supported each other, looked embarrassed and embarrassment, and left angrily.

As soon as the door closed, Chen Xi immediately turned around and went back to the kitchen.

The pot of pork ribs soup was already simmering on the stove, filling the air with fragrance.

She scooped out a little with a delicate white porcelain spoon, blew it cool carefully, and then slowly put it into her mouth, savoring its saltiness.

"Mm, it smells really good!" Chen Xi closed his eyes contentedly and praised while tasting it.

Chen Rong also came closer at this time, "Sister, grandma and auntie are making trouble again just now, right?"

"You have very sharp ears!" Chen Xi smiled and pinched his brother's cheek, and responded easily, "Don't worry, I sent them away."

Chen Xi has his own way of dealing with those who try to exploit family affection to gain benefits.

The original body may be weak and vulnerable, but she is not a pushover.

Chen Xi looked at my frowning brows and gently stroked my head: "Look, I am safe and sound, right? Those hardships are over, and the days ahead will definitely get better and better."

"The pork rib soup is ready. Go get the pig intestines. We'll braise them today and we can have dinner right away."

As Chen Xi spoke, he skillfully put the pre-cut pig intestines into the pot.

It was the marinade she had carefully prepared, and its rich aroma instantly filled the entire kitchen.

Half an hour later, the pig intestines had fully absorbed the flavor of the marinade. After taking them out and letting them cool, Chen Xi cut them into small pieces of even size.

She heated oil in a pan and sautéed the garlic cloves, then poured in the pig intestines and stir-fried them over high heat.

When the aroma reaches its climax, she adds an appropriate amount of water, covers the pot, and simmers on low heat.

After another half an hour, the braised pork intestines in the pot finally completed its gorgeous transformation.

The aroma drifted out of the courtyard, attracting the attention of Aunt Zhuang who was washing clothes next door: "Whose stew is this? It smells so good! I am drooling."

"Chen Rong, go help your brother-in-law out and tell the children to wash their hands and get ready for dinner!" Chen Xi stood at the kitchen door and shouted to Chen Rong who was chopping wood in the yard.

Soon, a sumptuous meal was prepared, including tender pork ribs soup with a few green onions floating on the surface.

The bright red braised pork intestines have an attractive luster in every piece, and the aroma is so fragrant that it makes you salivate.

Chen Xi couldn't help but secretly taste a few bites when the food was taken out of the pot. The taste made her mouth curl up and her eyes sparkled with joy.

"Sister, it smells so good!" Chen Rong praised sincerely. He looked at the table full of delicious food, his eyes full of admiration and gratitude for his sister.

Xie Tianyi was sitting at the table, looking at the scene in front of him, and was extremely surprised.

In the past, the only common items on the family table were wild vegetables and mushrooms, and occasionally a few thin slices of meat. But today, the table is filled with meat, and it is delicious.

He looked at Chen Xi's busy figure, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

Chen Xi first served everyone a bowl of pork rib soup. "Have a sip of soup first to warm your stomach. I have been stewing this soup for the whole afternoon, and it is very delicious. Especially the two little ones, you are too thin. You need to drink more soup and eat more meat so that you can grow stronger in the future."

The two children took the bowls happily. They stared at the pork rib soup in the bowl with wide eyes. They had never tasted such delicious soup before. They tasted it carefully and were immediately conquered by the mellow taste and delicious flavor. After finishing a bowl, they still felt unsatisfied and begged Chen Xi for another bowl.

Xie Tianyi also picked up the bowl. He took a sip and the soup slid down his throat. It was indeed mellow and fresh without being greasy. "Chen Xi, you've worked hard. You take care of everything at home and outside. You even have to take care of me and the children, but I can't help at all..."

His tone revealed deep self-blame, but more of it was endless admiration and gratitude for his wife.

"Chen Rong has done a lot of work. I am so happy and don't feel tired at all. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to share a piece of good news. Today I went to the clinic to sell the herbs I collected. I didn't expect the owner to agree to let me see patients there every other day for an hour. Don't worry, I will do my best to cure your leg!"

Xie Tianyi felt warm at heart and was deeply touched by this comfort, but years of unsuccessful medical treatment made him not dare to have too many illusions about the recovery of his leg disease.

Many famous doctors and experts are helpless, so how can a young girl who is just starting out come up with something amazing?
