Thinly sliced fish filets were marinated with ginger, scallion, yellow wine, and salt. After the porridge was almost cooked, the fish filets were poured and dispersed with chopsticks.
The snow white fish meat soon turned pink and tender, as the fragrant smell flew out of the pot.
Chopped chives and lettuce were sprinkled over it, making it even more delicious.
Qiao Xuan asked Lixia to get Ms. Yan over for food. She needed to speak a few words with her afterwards.
Ms. Yan was a very understanding woman, and she had thoughts of her own after spending so much time with them.
The first section of the family had been so busy and Qiao Xuan, Taotao went
into the flower field all the time but Ms. Yan never asked anything about their purpose. Nor did she suggest that she should follow along.
If they did not want to tell her something, she would not pry.
Ms. Yan was the only person who knew how to befriend the first section of the family, and only she knew what to do and what not to do.
She must be the only clear-minded woman among all the other relatives in the second and third section of the family.
That made her a rare person.
Qiao Xuan did not want to waste such a clear-minded woman.
The first section of the family had already lived separately from the other sections of the family. So, unless the other sections of the family caused some tremendous trouble, they were still connected with bloodline.
Shao Yunduan had a long, promising future, and there would be many people who would be jealous of him, including those in the village.
There would be people who will try to cause trouble among the sections of the family. The first section of the family could protect themselves once or twice, but not always.
If someone with a clear mind could restrain the second section of the family, the third section of the family would not be able to cause any major trouble.
Also, but for Ms. Yan's information, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan would never have found out anything about the real secret behind Shao Dalangs accident.
They would only have taken it as an accident.
Therefore, what more would that annoying couple do in secret again?
But for Qiao Xuan's superpower, Shao Dalang would have lost his leg and not been able to walk, let alone do any heavy labor work. So, that sinister couple was really ill-hearted.
One would never know what was coming next.
Hence, Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan owed Ms. Yan a huge favor.
It was time for them to pay that back.
Ms. Yan had to work in the field these days, so she could not spend too much time with Ms. Fangs family. But every evening on her way back home, she would come and exchange a few words with Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu.
So, it was very normal that Qiao Xuan sent her an invitation.
Qiao Xuan knew what Ms. Niu would think about this. So, she made sure the invitation reached them at lunch. Before Ms. Yan could say a thing, Ms. Niu quickly said, "Just go and have lunch there, so we don't need to cook your portion! "
She had no choice but to nod casually, sighing inwardly. This was so embarrassing…
Ms. Niu believed that it was a free lunch that her daughter-in-law should take from the first section of the family, who had already started to buy servants. But Ms. Niu got nothing from them, which made her feel annoyed.
After lunch at the first section of the family, Ms. Yan sighed again. She felt that if she kept eating at the first section of the family, she would not be able to eat a thing at her own home.
If only they could move out. But it was not yet the time.
Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan asked Ms. Yan to have a private talk in their room.
Ms. Yan's heart started to throb. Suddenly, she had a feeling that it was going to be something good. So, she was both nervous and expectant..
