The Valiant Farmgirl's Blackhearted Husband Wants a Hug-Chapter 13

Chapter 13: No Poison?

Only then did the mother and the two kids start eating.

“Come, let’s take one roasted bird each. I don’t have enough seasoning, so I only put some salt in it. I don’t know how it will taste.” Qin Xiaoyao said quickly.

Then, she distributed the four roasted birds on the table to everyone.

Song Ye’s tiny face couldn’t be any happier as he thanked Qin Xiaoyao profusely, making Qin Xiaoyao feel very happy inwardly.

Madam Liu and Song Yun’s voices were much softer.

However, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t mind. She told them not to hold back and to eat as much as they wanted tonight.

In the beginning, the three of them were still a little reserved.

Soon, after seeing that Qin Xiaoyao really didn’t care about them, they became bolder.

Gradually, they began to eat with peace of mind.

Tonight’s dinner table was filled with meat and pancakes.

The Song family had never taken such a meal in this whole year.

Qin Xiaoyao was also gobbling down her food.

Compared to this poor family, her life in the apocalyptic world before she transmigrated was not much better than theirs.

However, those days of hardship were over, and she had escaped the apocalypse.

With her own strength, she was confident that she could provide the whole family with a good life.

Fifteen minutes later, Qin Xiaoyao, who had eaten five pancakes, finally felt full.

“I’m afraid the pheasant meat isn’t stewed enough, but the Chinese yam should be edible,” she said.

With that, she stood up.

“I’ll go get a bowl of Chinese yam.”

Madam Liu’s expression changed drastically.

Then, she panicked and immediately looked at her daughter and son, warning them with her eyes.

True to her expectations, her daughter-in-law did not have good intentions.

She had let them eat meat and pancakes just now in preparation for poisoning them to death.

After receiving their mother’s warning, the look in Song Ye and Song Yun’s eyes changed.

The ease they felt just now was gone, replaced by nervousness and fear.

However, Qin Xiaoyao didn’t know any of this.

She went to the kitchen counter, took the only big bowl left in the house, and scooped the Chinese yam out from the pot.

As soon as she opened the lid, the aroma of the chicken soup hit her in the face. Qin Xiaoyao swallowed a big mouthful of saliva.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t waste any time. She quickly pressed the wok spatula on the yam to check if it was cooked thoroughly.

After making sure that the yam could be broken off with just a little force, Qin Xiaoyao knew that the yam was already fully cooked.

Overjoyed, she immediately scooped out a lot of Chinese yams.

As she scooped up the Chinese yam, she also ended up with two chunks of pheasant meat in the midst.

Qin Xiaoyao didn’t put the pheasant meat back into the pot. She covered the pot and returned to the table with a big bowl heaped high with Chinese yam.

“Try it. This is good stuff.” Qin Xiaoyao said as she sat down.

However, as soon as she sat down, Qin Xiaoyao noticed something unusual.

The three of them didn’t move.

Not only did they not eat the Chinese yam, but they also stopped eating the hare meat and pancakes.

They had all put down their chopsticks and sat there obediently.

“We… we’re full.” Seeing that Qin Xiaoyao was looking at her, Madam Liu quickly spoke.

Qin Xiaoyao frowned.

Then, she looked at Song Yun and Song Ye.

The two children lowered their heads, shrinking back into their clothes like ostriches.

Qin Xiaoyao couldn’t help but frown.

Full? She had paid a lot of attention to the three of them when she was eating earlier.

They didn’t eat as fast as she did, so they didn’t eat much.

In addition, it wasn’t easy for them to have a good meal at home. Even if they were 70-80% full just now, they shouldn’t have put down the bowls so quickly.

She turned her head and looked at Madam Liu again. She saw that Madam Liu was looking at the Chinese yam in front of her with a strange and fearful expression.

Qin Xiaoyao then realized something.

Although Qin Xiaoyao was at a loss, she still didn’t say anything in the end.

Instead, she picked up her chopsticks, picked up a piece of Chinese yam, and put it in her own bowl.

Then, under Madam Liu’s shocked and hesitant expression, she picked up the Chinese yam and blew on it.

Thereafter, she put it into her mouth.

As the cooking time was not long enough, the yam was not soft enough even though it was completely cooked.

Qin Xiaoyao chewed on it and realized that even so, the taste of the yam was still pretty good.

...

So, she reached out with her chopsticks for a second piece.

“Mmm! It’s delicious!” She even muttered.

As soon as she said that, the three of them looked at Qin Xiaoyao.

Especially Song Ye.

He couldn’t help but swallow his saliva when he saw Qin Xiaoyao eating the yam.

Song Yun couldn’t help but look at the food on the table, her eyes full of longing.

At this moment, Madam Liu realized that she had misunderstood her daughter-in-law. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

She blushed and wanted to say something, but she couldn’t utter a single word.

Qin Xiaoyao glanced at the trio’s expressions and felt quite amused.

“There are still so many dishes on the table. Eat some more. I’ll wash the dishes later,” she finally said.

The two children’s faces lit up with joy, but they looked at Madam Liu instead of responding to Qin Xiaoyao.

...

“Okay…” Madam Liu quickly responded and picked up her chopsticks again.

Her face was flushed red, and she didn’t dare to look at Qin Xiaoyao anymore.

She had a feeling that her daughter-in-law might have guessed what she was thinking.

This made her feel ashamed.

Song Ye and Song Yun didn’t think so much. They picked up their chopsticks and started eating happily again.

“Here, try this Chinese yam. It strengthens the spleen, nourishes the lungs, and fortifies the kidneys. It’s good for the body.” Qin Xiaoyao suddenly reached out with her chopsticks and picked up a piece of Chinese yam for each sibling.

Seeing that Madam Liu was looking at her, Qin Xiaoyao also picked up a piece for her.

“Mother, you should eat more too.”

“Oh, okay!” Madam Liu quickly agreed.

Then, she picked up the Chinese yam in her bowl, and blew on it to cool it down before putting it into her mouth.

Initially, she didn’t have much hope that the Chinese yam would be delicious.

However, she found that the taste of the Chinese yam was really delicious in the end.

After receiving two more pieces of yam from her daughter-in-law, Madam Liu quickly ate all the yam in the bowl.

Then, she couldn’t contain herself and reached out with her chopsticks to pick up another piece.

“Did you really find this Chinese yam in the mountains?” Soon, Madam Liu couldn’t contain herself any longer and asked Qin Xiaoyao.

She had occasionally brought the two children into the mountains to forage for wild vegetables, but she had never seen any Chinese yam.

The villagers had never heard of any family eating Chinese yam either.

If this thing really came from the mountains, why didn’t anyone dig it up to eat? After all, this thing was quite delicious.

“Yup,” Qin Xiaoyao replied happily.

She understood Madam Liu’s quizzical expression and smiled.

“It’s probably because this thing looks like a stick of firewood before it’s peeled, so no one dug it up to eat.”

Wild Chinese yam was indeed very fine. It didn’t look much different from firewood and tree roots.

In addition, this thing grew in the ground and not on the tree like wild fruits.

It was not surprising that the villagers didn’t discover it or know that it was edible even after locating it.

“Oh.” Madam Liu nodded thoughtfully.

“Are there many of these things in the mountains? Are there any more?” Then, she asked Qin Xiaoyao again.

This Chinese yam was more delicious than those wild vegetables and could fill the stomach much better.

If there were more, she could go into the mountains to dig, and the food supply at home would be stabilized.

Qin Xiaoyao looked at Madam Liu with a smile.

“Don’t worry, Mother. There’s more.”

“When I came back, I found a large plot of land with Chinese yam. I think it should be no problem to dig up six or seven hundred catties.”
