As mother and daughter who have been together for such a long time, Grandma Shen knows her daughter well and knows that if she continues to laugh, the child will become angry and embarrassed.

Grandma Shen stepped forward and patted Shen Wenjiao's round little butt, and said with a barely perceptible smile in her voice, "Jiao Jie'er, don't be angry. Get up and eat something. Aunt Feng made your favorite mutton noodles and fried eggs. They are so delicious! It would be a pity if they get cold~"

Shen Wenjiao was feeling embarrassed at the moment, it would be strange if she was willing to take advantage of the situation, so she replied with backbone, "No, I'm not hungry!"

Gulp~ My mouth is very hard but my stomach is not cooperating, it’s a bit lame!

Grandma Shen has never been a gentle and considerate person. She was only able to coax Shen Wenjiao with a few words just now because she felt guilty. Now that she saw Shen Wenjiao was not sensible, her true colors were immediately exposed.

Grandma Shen pulled Shen Wenjiao up from the bed and said with raised eyebrows, "Xiao Qi, you've got enough. Going to your father is not a bad thing, it's just a little early, there's nothing to be angry about. Eat well, I'll give you what you can, or I'll slap you!"

Hearing that Grandma Shen called her the seventh child directly, instead of the sweet and affectionate Jiaojie, Shen Wenjiao knew that her mother was getting impatient. If she continued to act like that, she might have to have a dish of bamboo shoots and pork for dinner tonight.

Shen Wenjiao touched her empty stomach and decided to eat first. She was a very flexible person, but the reason for her flexibility was still because of blood suppression and force threats.

Wow, Shen Wenjiao looked at the fragrant dinner on the table and her mood instantly improved. Woohoo X﹏X, it had been a long time since she had eaten such hot noodles with lots of meat at night.

It's not that Grandma Shen didn't let Shen Wenjiao eat enough, but Grandma Shen was a very particular person. She usually ate light and simple food at night, and insisted on eating until she was 70% to 80% full. Shen Wenjiao, as a child, of course had no right to order food. Of course, she had to eat whatever was cooked, and she had no room to resist. According to Feng Ma's occasional sighs, life is much better now. She can eat well and wear warm clothes. What is there to be picky about?

But Shen Wenjiao often had to take extra classes in the system at night. She was in her growth period, so she was easily hungry at night, especially in the middle of the night. It was no wonder that Shen Wenjiao always gave herself extra meals. To be honest, Shen Wenjiao had had enough of all kinds of cakes, preserved fruits, and dried meat. If she was not afraid of being discovered and leaving a noticeable smell, Shen Wenjiao would especially like to eat something with hot soup or hot water.

Grandma Shen sat at the table, watching Shen Wenjiao eat with relish, and couldn't help but raise her hand to touch her head.

"You! You have such a bad temper and you are so stupid. You will suffer if you really go to Peking. You can't not eat even if you are unhappy! When you go hungry, you will know how to cherish things~"

Although Shen Wenjiao's eating habits have been corrected a lot by Grandma Shen over the years, she looks quite quiet and eats small bites at a time, but in fact she is not slow and finishes almost everything very quickly! After hearing what Grandma Shen said, she couldn't help but roll her eyes and said, "Why send me over now if you know I will suffer? As the old saying goes, I'd rather follow a beggar mother than a government official father. I'm not stupid~"

"Oh, you know a lot! Silly girl, this person should be smarter. If he follows his father who is an official, maybe he can help his beggar mother, right? It's better than the mother and daughter starving to death."

Shen Wenjiao was stunned for a moment. There was such an explanation (′-﹏-`;)

"No, mother. Tell me the truth. Why did you make me go to Peking in advance? Don't tell me that you had thought about it a long time ago. During the Chinese New Year this year, you said that you would at least teach me needlework before sending me there."

Grandma Shen looked at her own daughter who had no self-awareness with an expression that was hard to describe, and said speechlessly, "Mother didn't know at first that you could be so clumsy! If you really follow what I said at the beginning and wait until your skills are up to standard before going to Peking, you might as well just stay here and get married~"

Grandma Shen added indignantly, "I, your mother, was fast at everything from childhood to university. Your father was also fast at learning things. You are a girl who can read and write well, but how come you can't even make a purse after practicing for a year?"

After saying that, Grandma Shen pulled Shen Wenjiao's chubby little hands over and looked them up and down repeatedly with a puzzled look. Even if she didn't have much experience, the handwriting of these hands was still quite beautiful! Why did she always poke her hands when she picked up the needle and thread, and couldn't even straighten the thread!

"When you grow up, you will be a grown-up girl. What are you going to do with your menstrual period and what to do with your underwear? Otherwise, when you get to Peking, remind your father to buy you a skillful maid!" Grandma Shen suggested uncertainly, not knowing whether Master Shen could pay more attention to his daughter.

Shen Wenjiao used some strength to pull her hand back, and was even more speechless. She had never sewed a button on her clothes before, and had never washed a bowl. Now, after two years of intensive training, she can sew a small cloth bag for herself, and can also use the backward earth stove to cook a few side dishes. This is a great improvement, okay~_~

Don't you see, when she was seven years old and in primary school, she didn't know anything at all! Her parents would be shocked if they knew how capable she is now.

"Mom, if it doesn't work, just go to the store and buy it. It's not that troublesome~ Mom, don't change the subject, why did you change your mind?" Shen Wenjiao has never been particularly used to the use of maids and old women in the human trafficking for such a long time. Shen Wenjiao has always regarded Feng Ma and Wang Ma, who she used to serve, as hired nannies and hourly workers at home, and still has a certain respect for them in her heart.

Grandma Shen looked at Shen Wenjiao who insisted on getting to the bottom of the matter, and thinking of her unpromising family, she said harshly, "It's all your uncle's fault. They didn't think about making progress and squandered all the family property! They just smoked opium when they were still fine, and didn't know how to work hard to revive the family business."

"What? Opium~" Shen Wenjiao widened her eyes, and all the anti-drug knowledge she had learned in school flashed through her mind.

In Shen Wenjiao's eyes, opium is equivalent to drugs, the kind of thing that will ruin the whole family once you get addicted.

Grandma Shen looked at her daughter strangely. It was just a cigarette! What a big deal! With the family business of their Feng family in the past, they could afford to smoke this big opium! In the eyes of Grandma Shen, the main reason why the Feng family's business fell into decline was that the brothers from her mother's family were not ambitious and could not manage the business.

"What's so surprising? The old lady also tried it before, but she didn't like the taste and gave it up after a few days!"
