Chapter 410: Not Even Giving Vegetable Leaves to the Second Branch

~8 min read 1,545 words

The small chili peppers were very small, and a small basket was quite a lot.

Qin Tang handed the small basket to Qin Lang to hold. Qin Lang was beaming with joy, and the children of Qin Tang and Qin Xun's faces burst with surprise. It was so novel, and they were all for them. The Fourth Branch also had spiritual vegetables to eat.

Jiang Shi and Lin Shi exchanged glances and smiled. In the past, it was Qin He who distributed things, but every time, there was no share for the Fourth Branch. There was a precedent, so there was no need to distribute spiritual vegetables to the Second Branch.

Qin Yan also thought of this, and didn't dwell on it. This matter was easy to handle.

However, Qin Bi still specifically asked Qin Yan: "Eldest Cousin, no need to give them to the Second Branch, right? In the past, whenever Qin He was in charge of things, she never distributed them to the Fourth Branch."

Although the things He Shizi gave were distributed by Qin He, Qin He was the one in charge.

He Shizi looked at the Qin Yan Marquis Manor differently, all because of Qin He. Therefore, the Qin Yan Marquis didn't want to make Qin He unhappy. Thus, every time the Marquis Manor distributed resources, there was almost no share for the Fourth Branch.

At that time, He Shi wanted to make a scene. Wasn't He Yan her nephew?

Why did Qin He forbid the things He Yan gave from being distributed to their Fourth Branch?

Qin Di stopped He Shi. It wasn't necessary. If they didn't give them, then don't ask. Why go and ask for trouble?

Qin Bi had always remembered this, so she didn't give even a single vegetable leaf to the Second Branch.

Without a reminder, Qin Bi was worried that Qin Yan would distribute spiritual vegetables to the Second Branch.

Mentioning it meant that the Fourth Branch hadn't forgotten how Qin He treated them. The Second Branch might not approve of Qin He excluding the Fourth Branch, but so what? Resources weren't distributed to the Fourth Branch because of Qin He.

Who cared why!

Qin Yan nodded. He had nothing to say about this matter: "No need to give them to the Second Branch."

Qin He did it this way, so there was no reason why it wouldn't work for Qin Bi.

There was no need to explain why, because that was how Qin He treated the Fourth Branch.

Who was a soft persimmon anyway?

There was no need to explain why, because that was how Qin He treated the Fourth Branch.

The Third Branch didn't count, as there was the Third Uncle Qin Tan, and Qin He didn't do it too obviously.

Qin Tan was the first in the Marquis Manor to enter officialdom through the imperial examination, so Qin He didn't dare to provoke him. Being too excessive and having the Old Marquis and the Qin Yan Marquis point it out wasn't something to be proud of.

The Fourth Branch was different. Because Qin He and Qin Bi were at odds, Qin He could do it, and the Qin Yan Marquis followed Qin He's wishes. Qin He knew how to earn silver and was also a disciple of the Immortal Sect, so her treatment exceeded that of a legitimate daughter.

"Take some small chili peppers back to share," Qin Tang said to Qin Yan.

Qin Yan nodded: "Chili pepper spiritual vegetables should be good for Grandfather's cultivation."

Qin Tang said: "Grandfather won't be left out."

While the people of the Qin Yan Marquis Manor were all there, Qin Bi took charge and distributed some spiritual vegetables to everyone. For example, big cabbages—there was no need for them to be of top quality, one for each person. Various radishes, big and small, were also given a few.

Cilantro, small green onions, sweet chili peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers—a few of each, and it wasn't a small amount when added together.

At this amount, one portion for each person, those who came to the Qin Yan Marquis Manor to harvest spiritual vegetables naturally got such an extra portion.

As for those who didn't come? Sorry, none.

Of course, it wasn't that the concubine-born sons of each branch didn't want to come, but they didn't have the opportunity.

Not to mention the concubine-born daughters, they were all Qin He's good sisters. Bringing them along wouldn't be annoying? Qin Shizi wasn't someone who couldn't see clearly. Qin Bi was easy to talk to, but Rong Shizi didn't necessarily have to be easy to talk to.

Spiritual vegetables were things that could be eaten. You distribute a little, I distribute a little—what was that supposed to mean?

Regarding Qin Bi taking charge and distributing a portion of spiritual vegetables to Qin Shizi and the others, Rong Shizi didn't even ask, giving Qin Bi absolute power. And with Rong Yang there, the child took a look.

"Jiejie," Qin Lang took out a basket from his storage bag and looked at the spiritual vegetables: "We're family, not outsiders. No need to give us such good spiritual vegetables. Give us the ones with poor quality. Sell the ones with good quality for beast crystals."

Jiang Shi squatted down and looked at the big cabbage that was distributed: "Exchanging it for one with poor quality is fine. This kind has a high price when sold, so it can be sold for more beast crystals. Eating it at home, the ones that didn't grow well are the same to eat."

The eldest son of Qin Tang's legitimate wife said: "Eating rotten vegetable leaves is fine too, at least they're spiritual vegetables."

He was quite content. This was the first time their branch had distributed spiritual vegetables so lively. The last few times the aunt gave spiritual fruit and spiritual vegetables to the grandfather and grandmother, they were sent directly to Qin Di and He Shi.

When they went to pay their respects, grandmother would give them some to eat.

This time, they had a share too! The child was happy and content.

Of course, the child was also on the aunt's side, saving spiritual vegetables for the aunt.

Qin Tang's eldest son was older than the others. When Qin Bi married and divorced, the child already remembered things. At that time, the aunt cried sadly, and the child felt sorry for the aunt.

The aunt's life was better now, so she couldn't be extravagant.

"This..." Jiang Shi couldn't be compared to the child, so she looked at Qin Tang and the others hesitantly: "How about exchanging it for one eaten by insects, one that didn't grow well? Spiritual vegetables aren't cheap."

Keep the good ones to sell for beast crystals.

Qin Tang was startled and exchanged glances with Qin Yan.

Before they could say anything, Qin Bi immediately stopped this idea: "What are you thinking? Family should eat the best. I won't pick the best spiritual vegetables for you, so just take the ones distributed to you."

This was a fictional cultivation world based on good fortune and luck. Eating well meant good luck and good fortune. Since Qin Bi had said so, Qin Lang and the others put away the distributed spiritual vegetables.

Several children distributed a few red radishes, which could be eaten raw. Taking a bite, they were crisp and sweet. They were the size of a child's fist, and there were bigger ones. They didn't distribute extra to the children, and they didn't miss them either.

Strictly speaking, since Qin Bi had already given them to Qin Tang and Qin Xun, it would have been fine not to give them to the little nephews, but Qin Bi gave them anyway. The little nephews felt they had benefited and didn't think the medium-sized red radishes were small at all.

There were even smaller ones, the size of small fruits, and the children wanted those even more to play and eat.

A child the size of Qin Tang's eldest son could grab six or seven small red radishes in one handful, which was most suitable for children to play and eat. Rong Yang grabbed a handful and distributed them to his cousins.

"Jiejie," Qin Lang acted like a spoiled child: "I want to eat that kind of small red radish too."

Qin Bi looked at the small red radishes in the basket: "Grab a handful first, leave the leaves for me."

Qin Lang was happy: "I want the leaves too."

Qin Bi ignored him. If he wanted them, he could have them. Lin Shi was incredibly envious of Qin Lang. The Qin family was different. She was embarrassed to ask Qin Bi for anything. Even though Qin Han asked for spiritual fruit and spiritual poultry every time she returned to her maiden home, Lin Shi was embarrassed to ask anyone for anything.

Qin Lang was different. During the few years Qin Bi left the capital, she followed the Third Branch, and the Third Branch's children had a different relationship with Qin Bi.

Qin Tang and Qin Xun's children also looked at Qin Lang with envy. Rong Yang could make the decision; the child was in charge of this batch. ===== CHAPTER 411 =====
