Chapter 6: Small Stove_1

It's already light outside, Su Pan'er looks around.

This ordinary farmhouse is exceptionally dilapidated, only the big red "Joy" characters posted on the window lattices bring a bit of festivity. The firewood room is at the lower right, the courtyard is exceptionally neat and tidy. Several old hens prance about in front of her, not fearing strangers at all.

The entire courtyard is silent, with no hint of people, as if all the crowd that appeared last night was a figment of her imagination.

"Where's everyone? The patient has fainted, why isn't the doctor here yet?"

Su Pan'er intentionally shouted, her gaze drifting around to the windows, where figures moved.

She gave a few cold laughs and according to her memory, headed to the bridal chamber from last night, found her small bundle in a corner of the wardrobe, and put on the only two patched outfits inside.

Her original body was also unloved. She worked like a bull and a horse at her maiden family, and when she was married off as a replacement bride, she didn't have a single decent outfit besides her wedding clothes.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, a chubby round face reflected back. Her skin was pitted and moreover, pitch black, no wonder she was called ugly. The only thing was that a pair of big eyes hidden under her thick bangs sparkled brightly.

Su Pan'er was not bothered by this face. Once she breaks through to the Acquired Realm, cleanses her meridians, and removes the impurities in her body to reconstruct her body, she will naturally slim down. She had already checked, this body's meridians were thick and robust, particularly suitable for the cultivation of Ancient Martial Arts, which would have double the results with half the effort.

When the time comes, the ugly woman will become a beauty, stunning everyone's eyes!

She casually ties her hair into a ponytail in front of the bronze mirror before going into the kitchen.

As soon as she entered, she startled two people who were busy in front of the stove. The little girl jumps up in surprise, hastily hides behind the woman in front of the stove, not daring to raise her head.

"What... what do you want?"

Qin Yueshi is terrified, she protects Qin Shuan'er behind her while shakingly staring at her. She saw the whole commotion between Su Pan'er and her mother this morning. The thought of her picking up a grown man with one hand made her heart pound.

Su Pan'er didn't even spare her a glance, walked over to the stove billowing with smoke, lifted the pot lid, only to find a big pot of mixed grain porridge with leftover rice and vegetable leaves!

Her brows furrowed, "Is this fit for humans?"

She looked towards the small stove nearby, her eyes suddenly lit up!

Inside there were four shelled eggs, and a small half bowl of pork belly. She didn't care about the scalding heat, immediately took it out, and started peeling the eggs.

"Oh no! You can't eat that..."

Qin Shuan'er starts shouting.

Being glanced at by Su Pan'er, the latter part of the sentence got stuck in her throat and she couldn't speak any longer, quickly retreating behind Qin Yueshi, lowering her head.

Qin Yueshi was shaking all over, not daring to meet Su Pan'er's gaze.

In just a short while, Su Pan'er had already peeled one egg and shoved it in her mouth. As she was about to pick up the second one, a thunderous rumbling sound is heard.

Qin Shuan'er's face turned bright red, she clutched her stomach and lowered her head, wishing she could bury herself in a pit.

"Here, you eat."

A peeled egg suddenly appeared in front of her. Qin Shuan'er's face brightened, happiness spreading across her eyebrows and eyes. She looked up into Su Pan'er's eyes, then turned to her mother and lowered her head.

Qin Yueshi glanced at the egg in her hand, gritted her teeth, and pushed it back into Su Pan'er's hand, shaking her head violently.

"No, we can't eat..."

"Eat! It's just an egg, stop making a fuss."

Su Pan'er forcefully stuffed the egg into her mouth.

Qin Shuan'er instinctively bit down, a sweet flavor instantly spreading throughout her mouth, causing her eyes to squint in a smile.

Looking at her daughter eating with such delight, Qin Yueshi couldn't help but smile as well. She looked at Su Pan'er with a pitiful gaze.

"Third brother's wife is really straightforward, just call me big sister. You probably don't know, you've just caused big trouble!"

Causing big trouble by eating an egg? Su Pan'er rolled her eyes, such a small-mindedness huh?

"Don't worry! If the sky falls, I'll be the tall one propping it up."

At these words, Qin Yueshi couldn't help but shake her head in resignation, saying nothing more.

Having swiftly eaten the egg, Su Pan'er turned to find a pair of chopsticks, and promptly finished the pork belly in the bowl. She was thoroughly enjoying her food when suddenly there was a shrill scream from the kitchen door, "Ah—my eggs!"

Qin Shuan'er got scared and dropped what was left of her egg on the ground.

"You…you gluttonous wench! You think you can mess with me, huh? Do you want to anger me to death!"

With the cursing voice full of Mrs. Qin-Li's burning anger, that old figure charged over!

Su Pan'er's face darkened, her eyes scanned over like cold blades.

Seeing the harsh look in Su Pan'er's eyes, Mrs. Qin-Li's heart jumped with fear!

She paused, not daring to face Su Pan'er head-on any longer, turning to go after Qin Shuan'er.

"For eating, for being gluttonous! You have already taken to bad habits at this young age, daring to steal food. You think these foods don't cost silver to buy, huh? Watch me beat you!"
