Chapter 9: Bad Brother-in-law, Not That Bad
At the Chen family’s house, a big bowl of fragrant rabbit meat was placed in front of Chen Jie, sizzling and mouth-watering.

Sitting across the table were Su Yunjin and the little kid Su Yunrui.

At this time, the little kid's eyes were fixed on the rabbit meat in front of Chen Jie, unable to move away for a moment. He swallowed his saliva desperately, but did not dare to use his chopsticks to pick it up.

She still remembered that she was slapped twice by her brother-in-law and went hungry for a whole day because she ate his scrambled eggs.

Now she dare not eat it even if she is greedy.

At this time, Su Yunjin cut half of the wild vegetable dumpling in her hand and gave it to Xiao Douding, took the other half for herself, and put the rest with Chen Jie. Su Yunjin actually ate very little. Chen Jiusi once said that she was a spendthrift.

She was only allowed to eat half a wild vegetable dumpling every day, and it was the kind that was mostly wild vegetables and had no sorghum flour.

The little kid held the vegetable dumpling but couldn't take his eyes off it. He took a big bite of the dumpling and muttered to himself, "Rabbit meat doesn't taste good. It's sour, sour..."

The little kid was muttering to himself, while Su Yunjin lowered his head to eat wild vegetable dumplings, but did not eat the stewed rabbit meat in front of Chen Jie.

This was the rule set by Chen Jiusi in the past. All the delicious food in the house could only be eaten by him, the head of the family. Only the little ones and Su Yunjin could eat the leftovers.

Chen Jie sighed and reached out his hand to the little kid. The little kid was shocked. Was he going to get beaten for even looking?

She was so scared that her face turned pale, but the imagined slap did not fall.

When she opened her eyes, she found that the bowl in front of her was gone. The little girl almost cried out loud. It was over. Her bad brother-in-law didn't let her eat again.

But something unexpected happened the next moment. Under the puzzled and shocked looks of the Su sisters, Chen Jie took out one third of the full bowl of rabbit meat in front of him and put it into Xiao Douding's bowl.

Then he took Su Yunjin's bowl and put one third of the rabbit meat into her bowl.

After finishing, he placed the bowls of rice in front of the two girls under their shocked gazes. The two girls looked at Chen Jie in confusion.

Chen Jie knew that it was useless to explain, so he said in an imperative tone: "Eat it all."

The two girls looked at Chen Jie in surprise, but Chen Jie didn't explain. He opened his mouth wide and started eating. He took a bite of the rabbit meat and it had a slightly fishy smell. There were no spices at home. If there were spices and it was blanched in water, it would taste even better.

However, this body may not have eaten oily food for a long time, so even if it has a slightly fishy smell, it still tastes particularly delicious!
The two girls were still looking at him in disbelief.

"Everyone, look at me, what am I doing? Eat!"

Chen Jie spoke.

At this time, Xiao Douding couldn't help swallowing and said, "Sister, brother-in-law, can I, can I really eat it?"

Chen Jie laughed and said, "Nonsense, if I tell you to eat, then you should eat. My brother-in-law lets you do that."

"Well, then I can eat it."

The little kid couldn't bear it any longer and bit into a piece of rabbit meat. He was immediately intoxicated by the fragrance.

This is so delicious!
The little girl's tears were streaming down her face, but her body was curled up. She suspected that her bad brother-in-law was teasing her on purpose, and that he would have an excuse to beat her after she ate it.

But the meat is so delicious that it's worth the beating.

But the slap she imagined did not come. When she opened her eyes, she saw Chen Jie looking at her with a smile and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"Ah."

Xiao Douding nodded, and Chen Jie said, "Then eat more. If it's not enough, we still have a bowl of meat."

The little boy's eyes lit up when he heard that, and he continued to eat without caring about anything else. He looked at Chen Jie and suddenly felt that this brother-in-law didn't seem as bad as before.

Su Yunjin didn't move his chopsticks and looked at Chen Jie with a strange expression.

Chen Jie asked: "What are you looking at? Do you think your husband, I, am more handsome? Eat quickly." "Yes, sister, eat quickly, it smells so good..."

Su Yunjin hesitated for a long time, but finally picked up her chopsticks and started eating the rabbit meat. However, she ate very cautiously, as if she was not used to Chen Jie's sudden change.

However, Xiao Douding didn't care about these and quickly finished the meat in his bowl. Seeing this, Su Yunjin put the meat in his bowl into Xiao Douding's bowl.

Instead, there was no meat in her bowl. Seeing this, Chen Jie added a few pieces of meat from his own bowl to Su Yunjin. Su Yunjin wanted to give some to Xiao Douding, but was stopped by Chen Jie: "It's not good to eat too much meat at once."

After hearing this, Su Yunjin stopped what he did and ate the meat in his bowl obediently.

Chen Jie was full after eating a bowl of meat and three wild vegetable dumplings. Although it was not very delicious, it was not bad. He touched his stomach and looked at the satisfied little bean and asked, "Is it delicious?"

"good to eat."

"Well, brother-in-law will give you more meat in the future, okay?"

"it is good."

The little kid seemed to have forgotten how 'terrible' Chen Jie was.

On the other side, Su Yunjin finished the meat in the bowl, looked up, and said with a little concern: "Where's Lu San?"

Chen Jie said: "I've already said it, it's nothing, he's just a scoundrel."

After saying that, Chen Jie looked at Su Yunjin and said, "By the way, Yunjin, do you remember that I have a yellowed ancient book with the words "Yanchun Jue" written on it?"

After hearing this, Su Yunjin nodded and said, "Yes."

"Really? Show it to me."

Chen Jie spoke excitedly. Su Yunjin hesitated for a moment, then stood up and found a bundle from the cabinet. When he opened it, he found a pile of old books inside.

When their family was kicked out of the big house, Su Yunjin took nothing else with him but these old books.

Su Yunjin comes from a scholarly family, and compared to money, he values ​​the inheritance of books more.

Chen Jie walked over and saw that most of them were medical books and various medical cases, which were the life's work of his grandfather.

It's a pity that the prodigal son didn't feel sorry for selling his father's land. He didn't care about these invisible treasures at all, especially when he saw the Yangchun Jue with a torn cover, which even had traces of vegetable soup on it.

It turned out that when he first came to this house, the legs of the dining table at home were uneven, so Chen Jie used this Yangchun Secret to pad the bottom of the table. In the end, Su Yunjin saw it and snatched it back out of pity.

Chen Jie was really impressed by his predecessor's idiocy. His behavior was almost like selling antiques as junk. No wonder people say that wealth cannot last for more than three generations. There is a reason for this.

Chen Jie took the Yangchun Jue and left all the medical books behind. Under Su Yunjin's surprised gaze, he began to study them seriously.

As for his abnormal behavior, he explained to Su Yunjin: "I want to learn some skills from my parents so that I can have a skill to make a living in the future. Otherwise, how can I support you two sisters?"

As for Chen Jie's behavior that seemed like he was about to turn over a new leaf, Su Yunjin didn't really believe it and she was just waiting and watching.

After dinner, Chen Jie took the "Yangchun Jue" and read it carefully. Su Yunjin went to wash the dishes and clean the stove, while Xiao Douding rubbed his belly and took a small stool to the door of the house, where there was an ant nest.

Little Doll loves watching ants moving the most. These little ants are her best playmates and snacks.

That’s right, sometimes when the little kid is very hungry, he will secretly eat a few ants that have fallen behind. They taste sour and are very delicious.

But Xiao Douding is very controlled when eating, and only eats three at most a day, never more...
