~4 min read 625 words

"What are you two doing hiding in the corner?"

"Come over here, come to my side."

Jia Zhangshi realized belatedly that her husband, Jia Gensheng, and her son, Jia Dongxu, had both hidden in the corner, which made her so angry she didn't know where to vent.

"The duck Wan Ping'an made is too fragrant; even He Daqing couldn't make it taste like this."

"Old Jia, I want to eat duck too."

Jia Zhangshi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, staring at Jia Gensheng.

"Fine, if you want to eat, then eat."

"Give me the money, and I'll go buy it for you right now."

Jia Gensheng nodded.

In the Jia family, Jia Zhangshi is the one who calls the shots; she eats whatever she wants and drinks whatever she wants.

"What money?"

"Buy what buy?"

"That little beast Wan Ping'an has already made it, just go take it directly, why go buy it?"

Jia Zhangshi covered the pocket where the money was kept with her hand.

"Take Wan Ping'an's duck?"

Jia Gensheng glanced at Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu also glanced at Jia Gensheng.

The father and son stared at each other with wide eyes.

The Jia family and the Wan family are enemies; unless Wan Ping'an is sick and his brain is muddled.

Otherwise, he wouldn't even give the Jia family a single duck feather.

"Right, just take it."

"Dongxu, you go, bring back the duck Wan Ping'an made."

Jia Zhangshi ordered.

"Mom, isn't that not very good?"

Jia Dongxu didn't want to go.

It's impossible for Wan Ping'an to give it; is he going to bring humiliation upon himself?

"What's not good about it?"

"Why aren't you going yet?"

Jia Zhangshi glared at Jia Dongxu; in the Jia family, who dares not listen to her orders?

Want to rebel?

"Here, take this bowl and go."

Jia Zhangshi found a large bowl, which was actually a small-sized basin; even if it couldn't hold a whole duck, it could definitely hold more than half of one.

Jia Dongxu had no choice and was kicked out the door by Jia Zhangshi.

Back courtyard.

Wan Ping'an had a bite of duck meat and a sip of wine, eating very comfortably.

"Eh, what are you doing standing at my door?"

"Greedy?"

"Want to smell the scent?"

"Fine, I allow it; you stand at the door, I eat the meat, you smell the scent, I guarantee you can smell the first-hand, freshest meat scent."

Wan Ping'an mocked and ridiculed.

His voice was very loud.

More than half of the people in the back courtyard heard it.

Even the people in the middle courtyard might be able to hear it.

The front courtyard was a bit far, so they probably couldn't hear it.

Boom!

Jia Dongxu's face turned into a piece of red cloth on the spot.

Too shameful!

He was greedy too, and he really wanted to eat duck meat, but he absolutely didn't want to come and beg for meat to eat.

Helpless.

Jia Zhangshi of the Jia family is the head of the household.

He only had the role of executing Jia Zhangshi's orders; he didn't dare to resist, otherwise, Jia Zhangshi would make such a scene that she could keep him from sleeping for three days.

"Wan Ping'an, give me some of the duck meat."

Jia Dongxu took out the bowl from behind him.

He wasn't a beggar, his skin wasn't that thick; when asking for duck meat, his voice was very small, and except for himself, no one could hear clearly.

"What did you say?"

Wan Ping'an didn't hear clearly either.

"I said, give me some of the duck meat."

Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and raised his volume a bit.

Wan Ping'an heard it clearly.
