Chapter 464: Everyone Else Is the Worst Kind of Relative

If Qin Han severs ties with her family, she will find it impossible to move forward.

Otherwise, why hasn't Qin He severed ties? Is she stupid? Qin He is sharp; severing ties would be disadvantageous to her. No matter which transmigrator has a golden finger, they ponder severing ties to build their own wealth and avoid relatives taking advantage.

Those who do not sever ties do so because it is disadvantageous to themselves.

Does a transmigrator like Qin He not want to sever ties? As long as relatives gain even a sliver of benefit from her, the idea of severing ties spins in her mind. She hates it to death, constantly wishing to cut ties immediately, seeing everyone as the worst kind of relative.

However, as long as severing ties is disadvantageous, Qin He will not do it.

Who is stupid? No one is stupid, okay?

Qin He can open a shop and earn silver thanks to the Hou Fu's connections and network. If Qin He had severed ties from the start, He He Shizi would not have considered her at all when arranging a marriage. For her to dream of marrying into a noble family would be sheer fantasy.

If the marriage is not good, Qin He simply will not do it.

Therefore, not just anyone who transmigrates can confidently call others the worst kind of relatives. Who exactly is the worst kind of relative is yet to be seen. For instance, whoever benefits from someone else is the worst kind of relative. Looking at Qin He, one can see whether she benefits from the Hou Fu or the Hou Fu benefits from her.

Even so, in Qin He's eyes, everyone else is the worst kind of relative.

Qin Bi is also one of the worst kind of relatives. Qin He is just that bizarre. Qin Han and Qin He are good sisters; how good could Qin Han be? She feels her natal family should look up to her.

Qin Han is not a transmigrator, but after spending so much time with Qin He, her mind has a hole in it.

Perhaps Qin Han has been like this since childhood. It is only because she married Jiang Mo that she no longer conceals her petty whims. Qin Han likes to watch people's expressions and is extremely fond of acting high and mighty. If He Shi treats another daughter of a concubine slightly better, Qin Han feels it is favoritism.

"Qin Han," Jiang Shi said helplessly, "you are a bit petty."

Qin Bi was stunned, then giggled. Rong Juan looked up, gnawing on a spicy duck wing, and laughed too. Children love it when their mother smiles; when she smiles, it seems as if everything around them brightens.

Smiling, Qin Bi said to the child, "Your aunt-in-law is the worst kind of relative."

Jiang Shi: "..."

This younger sister-in-law really knows how to bring up the one thing that shouldn't be mentioned. Probably because she said Qin Han was petty, Qin Bi thought of the words Qin He often hangs on her lips. If you say someone is petty, it means they feel they haven't gained enough benefit; they must be the worst kind of relative.

"You," Jiang Shi said unamused, "you have two children now, yet you still tease your eldest sister-in-law."

Qin Bi quickly said, "I am also the worst kind of relative."

Jiang Shi laughed in exasperation, joining Qin Bi in teasing Qin He. Seeing Qin Bi and Jiang Shi chatting happily, Qin Lang quickly snatched the task of feeding the child. He stood up and took a small fire bun the size of a little dumpling from the stove.

To make the fire bun delicious, it had been kept on the stove, so the outer skin was crispy.

"Rong Juan," Qin Lang said, placing it on oiled paper and handing it to the child, "the meat filling is delicious. Taste it and see if it's good. If you like it, I will buy this kind of small fire bun for you again next time."

Qin Bi's attention was drawn: "It looks delicious at a glance."

Qin Lang turned back: "Sister, I only bought two. Give one to Rong Juan to eat, and take the other back for Rong Chi when you leave. Let's see if Rong Chi can bite into the fire bun."

"I'll eat the hard, crispy skin on the outside," Qin Bi said, wanting some. "Give Rong Chi the soft dough inside the fire bun."

Jiang Shi tapped Qin Bi: "Save it for the child."

Immediately, Jiang Shi added, "Aren't you afraid Rong He Shizi will be unhappy? He might say you are greedy, eating a child's food. If you want to eat, ask your eldest brother to buy two later. Give one to Qin Han as well, so she doesn't feel dissatisfied."

Rong Juan spoke up: "In our family, when Father buys delicious food, Mother always gets a share. My mother's heart is not the main deity; her lifespan is damaged and needs care, so she can eat the same as me and my younger brother."

Jiang Shi was surprised; Rong He Shizi actually dotes on Qin Bi this much.

Qin Bi poked the child, and Rong Juan looked at her: "That's right."

Qin Bi: "..."

"It's fine," Qin Lang said, pointing to the ingredients on the stove. "Let Rong Juan taste it. If he likes it, he can eat the other one too. When I take you back later, I will buy two more small fire buns."

Rong Juan was happy. He took the small fire bun and held it high: "Mother, gnaw on the fire bun skin."

Doted on by the child, Qin Bi couldn't help but smile. She took a small bite of the hard, crispy fire bun. It carried the flavor of ingredients baked in an earthen oven, slightly charred and fragrant. Qin Bi's eyes lit up.

Rong Juan's eyes lit up too. Mother likes it! He raised his little hand: "Take another bite."

Smiling, Qin Bi took another bite. The fire bun was filled with meat, mushrooms, and green onions. This small fire bun was incredibly fragrant. Qin Bi stopped eating. The child held the fire bun, took a big bite, and then drank a mouthful of soup.

The small fire bun was made from flour ground from spirit wheat, and the demon beast meat was pork belly. The price must be very high.

Qin Bi asked Qin Lang: "How many spirit crystals does one small fire bun cost?"

"It's very expensive," Qin Lang said, feeling the pain. "Ten low-grade demon beast spirit crystals for one."

The spirit vegetables she planted cost only a few spirit crystals per stalk. Qin Bi thought it was expensive, but she wanted to buy it. Little Little Tuanzi hadn't tried it yet. In the past two years, her heart not being the main deity and her lifespan being damaged, she hadn't taken the children to visit food shops much.

The children are young, and Rong He Shizi treasures them, so he doesn't take them out of the Fu often either.

Most of the dishes on the table were finished. Jiang Shi stood up, called her son sitting nearby to sit down properly, as the children had been standing for quite a while. Jiang Shi said to Qin Bi, "I will go speak with Qin Han."

Qin Bi nodded. Jiang Shi left the room and went to Qin Han's private chamber.

"Sister-in-law is here," Qin Han said, directing a maid to light the stove. Seeing Jiang Shi arrive, she forced a smile on her face and greeted, "The stove has just been lit; the temperature hasn't risen yet."

Qin Han instructed the maid: "Brew tea."

"No need," Jiang Shi said, sitting down. Qin Han's private chamber was indeed hers, but this was the Hou Fu. As the eldest sister-in-law, she did not need to be overly polite or wait for someone to invite her to sit. "The group of children are almost full."

Qin Han also sat down but did not respond. She was still very concerned about the differential treatment.

"I came for no other reason," Jiang Shi said, noting Qin Han's expression. She did not coax her, but simply stated, "Most of the dishes on this table were paid for with silver and spirit crystals spent by Qin Lang, which Third Uncle gave him."

Qin Bi was stunned. Jiang Bi continued, "Third Uncle's entire family treats Qin Bi differently. You and I cannot compare. The bond between Qin Bi and the Third Branch has been different from your bond with Qin He and other sisters since the day Third Uncle and Third Aunt took Qin Bi away from Jingcheng."

He He Shizi chose Qin He for marriage arrangements. Qin Bi could not stay in Jingcheng. The Third Branch was going to their post. Qin Di approached the Third Branch to ask them to take Qin Bi along. This bond was ultimately different.

Qin Han tried to make excuses: "I didn't say anything."

Jiang Shi glanced at her and stood up to leave.

Qin Han felt guilty. Fortunately, she hadn't shown much emotion. She had thought the Fourth Branch had spent the silver and spirit crystals to buy so many things. If it was Third Uncle's silver and spirit crystals...

Qin Han felt bitter. Leaving Jingcheng, Qin Bi had indeed picked up a huge bargain. Look, how much the Third Branch cares for Qin Bi and her child.
