The Peasant Wife Is a Lucky Charm Chapter 38

Chapter 38

Things Have Deviated From Her Plan

Ms. Yang glanced at the two cleaned fish, concerned that Qin Zhenzhen might waste them since she had never cooked at home before. However, since she had already given her permission, she couldn’t take it back now.

With the thought that her daughter would eventually learn how to cook, Ms. Yang nodded happily. “Alright, I’ll a.s.sist you.”

With her mother’s guidance, it wouldn’t be a complete waste.

Qin Shan waited for them to finish their conversation before asking Qin Zhenzhen, “Where did you get these two fish?”

Qin Zhenzhen told the truth. “Su Bin’s sister, Su Ning, and I caught them in the river in Qian Village.”

Both Ms. Yang and Qin Shan were surprised. “We didn’t know that Su Ning is such a skilled fishergirl.”

They were well aware of their daughter’s capabilities. She had gone fishing with her brothers before, but that was mainly for fun, and she rarely caught anything.

Qin Zhenzhen found it difficult to explain the whole situation, so she responded vaguely, “Fishing is actually quite simple.”

However, Qin Shan disagreed. “You’re mistaken. Fishing requires a lot of knowledge.”

Ms. Yang couldn’t help but ask again, her curiosity piqued. “But you told us before that the girl treated you as an enemy and constantly targeted you. So why would she bring the fish back to our house? Did you forcefully take them from her?”

Ms. Yang knew her daughter well. It was not uncommon for Qin Zhenzhen to take things forcefully from others. She sighed, feeling like her efforts to teach her daughter had been in vain once again.

Qin Zhenzhen laughed awkwardly and quickly clarified the situation. “I went fishing with her. She caught some fish, and I caught some too. I brought two big ones back to our house, but I still have seven more fish at home!”

“In fact, she was the one who suggested that I bring the fish back to our family. They even helped me skewer the fish with a straw to make it easier to carry.”

Ms. Yang still seemed unconvinced. “Are you really getting along so well with them now?”

Just the day before yesterday, when Qin Zhenzhen came back, she was seething with anger when talking about her sister-in-law and brother-in-law. Now, things seemed to have changed so quickly.

Qin Zhenzhen continued to explain, hoping to clarify the situation. “Perhaps because I intervened and stopped my brothers from fighting, our relationship has improved a bit.”

Ms. Yang became emotional upon hearing this. “I’ve always said that people can change their minds. If you treat them well, they will treat you well in return. Mother wasn’t wrong, was she?”

When her sons returned yesterday, they shared what had happened with her. She had disagreed with them beating up their son-in-law and pressuring their daughter into consummating the marriage. She believed such actions would only harm her daughter.

Fortunately, her daughter listened to her and stopped the fight.

“That’s the right thing to do. If you can establish a good sibling-like relationship with them, the young master will surely see your virtues.”

However, Qin Zhenzhen didn’t want to dwell on the topic any longer. She felt that the situation had deviated from her original plan.

Qin Zhenzhen had returned to her family with the intention of persuading them to agree to her divorce from Su Bin. She didn’t want to disclose that her relationship with Su Bin’s siblings had improved.

By the time Qin Zhenzhen’s brothers and sisters-in-law arrived home, the barley crucian carp soup she had prepared was already cooked. The soup exuded a mouthwatering aroma, with its milky white color.

Ms. Yang couldn’t help but ask Qin Zhenzhen repeatedly, “Did Su Ning teach you how to cook fish?”

She had just tasted a small sip of the fish soup, and it was so delicious that it almost made her tongue dance with joy.

It was simply incredible!

Her daughter, who had never cooked at home, managed to skillfully prepare such a delectable pot of fish soup.

Qin Zhenzhen casually replied, “Yes, if you say so.”

“In reality, I have come across the recipe for this fish soup in books before. I just haven’t had the chance to practice it until now.”
