I became a cannon fodder and watched the drama in the period novels.

Chapter 44 Help
At lunch, there were so many people in the Du family that they ate at two tables, one for the men to drink and one for the women and children.

Originally, Song Qingfei should have gone to the men's table, but he refused to drink on the pretext of driving, and sat with Duran at the women's table, in case Duran was fooled by the women in the family and agreed to some messy things when he was not around.

At the table, Song Qingfei was eating silently. Du Xue looked at him and said, "Brother Qingfei, you like fish the most. This sweet and sour fish is especially delicious. You should try it." She did not move her chopsticks to pick up food for Song Qingfei because she knew that Song Qingfei didn't like it, so she just told Song Qingfei which dish was delicious.

After hearing this, Song Qingfei took a piece with chopsticks and put it in his mouth to taste it. It tasted really good. He took another piece and put it in Shen Feifei's bowl: "Try it, it's delicious."

Just this one chopstick move almost broke the smile on Du Xue's face. Shen Feifei tasted the sweet and sour fish that Song Qingfei put in her bowl, but her eyes were on Du Xue. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the other's sour face, then deliberately picked up a piece of pork ribs and put it in Song Qingfei's bowl.

After seeing this, Du Xue frowned and said, "Cousin, Brother Qingfei doesn't eat food picked by others." Then she asked Song Qingfei, "Brother Qingfei, let me get you another one..." Before she finished her words, she saw Song Qingfei naturally eating the ribs that Shen Feifei picked for him.

Shen Yueru watched the eye contact between them. Seeing that Du Xue's face was getting uglier and uglier, she said, "Sister Du Xue, you should eat quickly too. You must be tired after just getting off work." After that, she touched Shen Feifei beside her with her arm and said, "Eat quickly. After eating, let's leave quickly."

The adults didn't care about what was happening on their side, because Second Sister Du began to pester Du Lan: "Big sister, come, try this spicy chicken. I know you like spicy food, so I prepared it specially for you."

Duran picked up the dish and ate it. It was indeed very good. She smiled and said, "It tastes good."

"Yes, this is made from the chicken my son Ai Dang bought yesterday. Speaking of which, my son Ai Dang is a very filial son. It's just that he has been staying up late every day and working overtime recently. He has lost a lot of weight. He works so hard. It makes me feel bad for him." Mrs. Du continued the conversation and talked about her eldest son.

As soon as Mrs. Du heard the voice, she knew what it was about, and she also said, "Yes, the work of the Ai Dang is too hard. Lan'er, can you help your nephew find an easier job?"

Hearing her mother's words, Du Lan wanted to agree, but she couldn't make the decision on this matter. She also needed Chief Shen's approval. Du Lan was a little embarrassed: "Mom, it's not easy to find a job these days. It was Jun Qing who used a lot of connections to find this job for Ai Dang."

Hearing this, it seemed that she was unwilling to help. Second Sister Du was immediately unhappy. She said, "Sister, who is your brother-in-law? He can definitely do it. Look at your Feifei. She just came to Beijing from the countryside not long ago, and now she is a buyer for that mall."

Duran frowned, a little embarrassed: "Fei Fei, that's because she has a high school diploma. It's easier for people with a high school degree to find a job." Seeing that his second sister-in-law's face was getting worse, Duran couldn't help but say, "Otherwise, I'll let..."

Before he finished speaking, Song Qingfei interrupted and said, "Mom, this soda tastes good, you should have one too." Handing Du Lan a bottle of orange soda, he turned to look at Du Ersao and said, "Second aunt, it's not easy for Ai Dang to have a formal job. If he complains about this and that, there are many people out there who want his job. My dad doesn't work in wholesale, he can't care so much. If Ai Dang really can't stand it, you feel sorry for him, I will go to his factory tomorrow to talk to his leader, maybe Ai Dang is not suitable for this job, let him go home and have a good rest."

Seeing Song Qingfei's cold eyes, Mrs. Du didn't dare to speak, but still looked at them with dissatisfaction. Mrs. Du said, "Why can't your father help? Wasn't your sister arranged by your father?"

Song Qingfei turned his head and looked at Old Lady Du again: "My sister is a good student and smart, so of course it's easy to arrange for her. But loving the Party requires no ability, and no education. She doesn't know anything, except for her strength, what can she do?"

"Grandma, I heard that my brother Aiguo has been doing well in the army recently. What could be more important than his future in the army?" Song Qingfei's words successfully shut up Grandma Du. Compared with her second grandson, her smart eldest grandson was more important. If the Shen family had a problem with Aiguo because of his love for the party, and then they would make trouble, it would be more trouble than it would be.

Seeing that her mother-in-law was silent, Du Ersao felt anxious and wanted to say something, but Du Dasao blocked her mouth: "Fengxia, Qingfei is right. It's so hard to find a job now. If you have a job like this, you should do it well."

Seeing that no one was speaking up for her and her eldest sister-in-law was threatening her with her eyes, Du's second sister-in-law had no choice but to give up.

The last meal was spent with everyone having their own thoughts.

In the car, Shen Feifei and Shen Yueru sat in the back, Du Lan sat in the passenger seat looking at the scenery outside, and Song Qingfei concentrated on driving. Shen Feifei looked at Shen Yaoyang sleeping on her left, and she said to Shen Yueru on her right: "Hey, do you feel that Hou Shaojun is not right recently?"

Hearing Shen Feifei's soft question in her ear, Shen Yueru opened her eyes wide, she looked at Shen Feifei and asked softly: "How did you know?"

Shen Feifei didn't want to care about her at first. It was good enough that she didn't add insult to injury. But seeing that Shen Yueru had been performing well recently, she thought that instead of letting her live a bad life in the future and her parents worrying about her, it would be better to solve the hidden danger from the beginning.

During the six months that she lived in the Shen family, the Shen family treated her well. Shen Feifei decided to help Shen Yueru, but if she didn't appreciate it, Shen Feifei would let go immediately and would never ask about her affairs again.

Shen Feifei said, "I know something. When we get home, come to my room and I'll tell you in detail. We are a family after all. There is no need for me to harm you. It will not do me any good. But if you don't believe me, just pretend I didn't say anything."

After Shen Yueru heard this, her eyes were complicated. She looked at Shen Feifei deeply and nodded in agreement: "I'll come to your room to see you in the evening."

After dinner in the evening, Shen Yaoyang came to Shen Yueru's room, holding his homework: "Sister, I don't know how to do two questions, can you explain them to me?"

"Isn't it winter vacation? Why do you have to do homework today?" Shen Yueru asked him puzzledly. Shen Yaoyang pouted: "Our class monitor will come to play with me tomorrow and said he would check my homework while he was at it."

Shen Yueru looked at the time and said, "You go ask your brother. I have something to do and don't have time to tell you." Shen Yaoyang nodded helplessly and agreed. He took his homework and went downstairs again.

Shen Yueru calmed herself down and went downstairs to Shen Feifei's room.
