Qi Yuanxiu said, “But we already broke off all ties.”
“Even if the father and daughter severed the relations.h.i.+p, she has to contribute something. Besides, it’s just about a dozen fish. Can she and those brats finish everything?” Qi Yuanye could not stop thinking about it. He really wanted to eat fish. It had been half a year since he ate any.
The family members had tried fis.h.i.+ng and could spend all day at it, but no one caught anything!
When Qi Yuancheng thought of fish, he also craved it, and said, “Yes, let’s go back and get some fis.h.!.+”
Madam Wu looked at her useless sons. “You want fish? Are you sure? If you turn back and she tears up the severance papers, hugs your thighs, and asks you to feed her again, what are you going to do?”
The three sons were speechless.
The eldest daughter-in-law, Madam Guo, comforted her man. “Mom is right. Just in case, let’s not go back. And stop thinking about the fish.”
“Maybe the fish belongs to that poor scholar. They might not be hers!” The fourth daughter-in-law, Madam Liang, also hurriedly added.
The fifth daughter-in-law, Madam Tian, said, “Yes, that fool must have signed the indenture with the poor scholar! So, the poor scholar got a dozen fish to feed the three little brats!”
Madam Wu nodded as she listened.
Qi Yuancheng and the rest had no choice but to give up.
At the thought that he was not able to eat fish, Qi Yuanye grumbled indignantly, “Without the Qi family to protect her, she’ll drown in the villagers’ spittle in a few days. I want to see how she can survive.”
Madam Wu said cheerfully, “A woman with three young kids. If she can survive until the New Year, I will take my hats off to her!”
Madam Guo and the others laughed. It would be great if the little fool of the Qi family died.

After Qi Qingyao got the severance papers from the Qi family, she was in a wonderful mood.
She even felt as if she was walking on cloud nine.
Walking behind her, Jiang Yeqian silently glanced at the delighted Qi Qingyao and swallowed all his doubts.
After entering the mountain, Qi Qingyao acted as if she was taking a leisurely stroll.
She must be mentally prepared in advance.
“I won’t be sad if I can’t hunt anything later, because we already have some fish to eat. Wait for tomorrow morning. If the weather is good, we can go to the market fair at Koi Temple.”
“The market fair?” Jiang Yeqian was momentarily stunned.
Qi Qingyao thought that he was just curious about the market fair, so she explained. “I haven’t been there either. I heard from Madam Wu before that the market fair is held on every first and fifteenth of the month. The villagers from several villages near Baishui Town will go to the fair and bring out their goods to exchange. If we bring our fish there, we can definitely sell it.”
There must be a lot of people at the market fair. At that time, if he met an a.s.sa.s.sin there, things would be troublesome.
Jing Yeqian fell into deep contemplative silence.
Seeing that he did not say anything, Qi Qingyao nudged his arm with her elbow and said, “Say something.”
Jiang Yeqian said, “What do you want me to say?”
Qi Qingyao almost got angry and rolled her eyes. “What a nerd.”
Jiang Yeqian coughed and changed the subject. “If you just sell fish, you may not be able to sell it for much.”
Qi Qingyao immediately said with a dark face, “But you ate the ginseng!” After a pause, Qi Qingyao said viciously, “If you’re good enough, you’ll hunt me a wild boar later! When we get home, we’ll kill the pig and take the pork and fish with us tomorrow to sell at the temple fair. This should get us some money.”
Jiang Yeqian was speechless.
