Under the dim kerosene lamp, two dishes were placed on the tattered wooden table, one was stir-fried fungus and green vegetables, the other was salted radish strips. In front of each person was a large coarse porcelain bowl filled with wild vegetable paste. Only in front of Qiqi was there a bowl of leftover noodles.

The leftovers were the meat and vegetables left over from the wedding banquet last night. Almost everything in the house was smashed by the Mei family. Those people were very vicious. The meat and vegetables left over from the wedding banquet last night in the kitchen, as well as some rice and flour, were thrown into the pig feeder and eaten by the pigs. All the pots, bowls, and pans were smashed. These coarse porcelain bowls were placed in the shed in the vegetable garden behind the yard, so they were spared.

The only remaining bowl of meat and vegetables was saved by Dani who hid it in the well water basket during the chaos. At dinner, Aunt Yan asked Dani to use the remaining bowl of meat and vegetables to heat it up and give it to Qiqi. Dani also found a small handful of flour that fell from the firewood pile in the kitchen. She kneaded a small dough, rolled out some noodles, and put them together with the meat and vegetables to make a bowl.

"Let's all eat together."

Qiqi picked up the meat and vegetables and placed them in the middle.

Yan Chenbei said nothing, but reached out and pushed the bowl in front of Qiqi again.

How can you love your daughter-in-law so much? She has an old mother and younger siblings. It's a bit too much. Qiqi was about to push it again. Several children objected, saying that the eldest sister-in-law was ill and should eat well.

"Don't push it. You can be sincere with our Chen Bei and not let the police arrest him. You are a great contributor to our Yan family. Don't mention this bowl of meat dishes. As long as our Yan family has it, you can eat anything you want."

Aunt Yan sighed,

"What a pity! My two old hens that lay eggs were also taken away. I was planning to use them to nourish your body after you give birth."

"Sister, let's go to town to buy some things tomorrow."

Ma Long took a sip of wild vegetable porridge and looked at the poor and scary Yan family. The master and the host's body had not yet completely merged, and they could not speak. The effect of Sister Qiqi's medicine had not yet disappeared. So now, he could not take the two back to Qingshui County. He could only stay in this house for a while. Judging from the situation, they would have to stay for at least ten days, and they could leave when the two of them recovered almost completely.

Living in this shabby and poor house for more than ten days, food, clothing and daily necessities are all problems. Ma Long had noticed long ago that Sister Qiqi was still wearing the same clothes she wore when she came here, and she didn't even have a replacement. As for the master, alas, there was not a single decent piece of clothing on his body. It would have been ok to wear old coarse cloth clothes, but there were patches everywhere. The master is such a noble person, how could he live like this? Ma Long felt very upset and wanted to go down the mountain to the town to buy clothes for the master, but when he touched his pocket, he found that the money was all on Lu Yunpeng and he had no money on him. He wanted to take off his clothes and change them for the master, but he was too short and the master was tall, so he couldn't wear them at all.

"Well, you see how poor our family is. We are so sorry to Qiqi. Don't worry, I will go to the village to borrow some money tomorrow, and we will go to the town to buy things. Our whole family will work hard until autumn, when the crops are harvested. When Chenbei's legs and feet are better in a few days, he will go to the mountains to hunt and sell. By the end of the year, our family will be better off."

Aunt Yan smiled at Qiqi quickly, and then she said a little embarrassedly,

"Of course, Qiqi, if you two feel that living together as a family is not a good idea, you can separate and live separately."

Qiqi knew that Aunt Yan thought of her as Aunt Mei's family. She was worried that if the whole family lived together, the big family would drag down their small family.
