The Koi Wife of the Prime Minister

Chapter 169: Reputation is ruined

Finally, when the sauerkraut fish hotpot was cooked and the room was filled with fragrance, Shen Yan turned off the fire and removed the iron pot from the stove.

She carefully divided the hot pot into individual bowls, adding enough sauerkraut, fish chunks and vegetables to each bowl to ensure that everyone could have a full meal.

The sauerkraut fish hotpot was ready very quickly.

Shen Yan took the prepared meal outside to eat, and called Wang Jun and Wang Lin to have dinner with her younger brothers and sisters.

There was a breeze blowing, and the three siblings felt very happy. Wang Lin smelled the fragrance and showed a satisfied expression.

“This fish smells so good.”

"Then eat quickly."

Shen Yan didn't have much experience in making fish hotpot, she just used all the ingredients available at home.

Alas, there is no beef hotpot in this era, because the laws of the time do not allow the killing of cows. Cows are used for plowing the land and can only grow old, get sick and die. Even if they die of old age, they cannot be eaten.

Shen Yan can only solve the problem of food and clothing now, and cannot eat what she wants.

As she ate, she reminded her brothers and sisters: "Be careful with fish bones. If you get stuck, you have to see a doctor."

Not long after, Xiao Hei suddenly came and got close to Shen Yan, making her feel a little scared.

"Xiao Hei has grown so big, bigger than any other dog."

Xiao Hei is a leopard after all, not an ordinary house cat, so after eating and drinking enough, he will naturally grow faster.

Looking up at Xiao Hei, Shen Yan felt both scared and relieved. Although Xiao Hei had grown up, he was still very friendly to Shen Yan's family and had been with them since he was a child. He often played the role of a guardian when Shen Yan was alone, making Shen Yan feel safe and close.

Wang Jun looked at Xiao Hei, pricked up his ears, and asked curiously: "Sister, how come Xiao Hei has grown so big? Has he been eating well recently?"

Shen Yan smiled and nodded: "Yes, Xiao Hei is indeed a big eater, eating more than us. He has now become the guardian of our family. Not only does he protect us, but he also helps catch mice."

Wang Lin suddenly jumped up, pointed at Xiao Hei's ears, and said excitedly: "Look, there are so many hairs on Xiao Hei's ears, so cute!"

Xiao Hei was praised and wagged his tail proudly, as if he understood what Wang Lin said. From time to time, he looked at Shen Yan with gentle eyes, as if telling her: "I will always protect you."

After eating the fish hotpot, Shen Yan and Wang Jun found a comfortable corner for Xiao Hei and prepared to let it rest for a while.

Xiao Hei closed his eyes and began to have sweet dreams, making smacking sounds from time to time.

Shen Yan looked at Xiao Hei's peaceful appearance, and the worries and uneasiness in her heart seemed to be temporarily thrown aside.

She knew that although life was not easy, with such a loyal friend by her side, everything would become warmer and better.

Shen Yan suddenly thought of something, walked into the kitchen, and took out a bottle of rice wine that had been brewed long ago.

"Come on, it's been brewed for so long, let's have a taste together, Xiao Hei also likes it."

So, a few people started drinking with Xiao Hei.

On Shen Yan's side, it was a happy scene.

However, Wang Lao Da's family was not so lucky.

When Mrs. Mo brought her son to their house to make a scene, the whole village was laughing at them. Wang Tingting didn't dare to go out at all, which made everyone believe the rumors even more.

If someone had dared to say this to her in the past, Wang Tingting would have jumped out with a broom and hit them.

But this time she did not respond. Everyone originally thought it was just a rumor, but now some people believe it to be true.

Wang Juan helped to boil Chinese medicine during the day, and tried her best to help her daughter replenish her body. Her daughter had suffered so much, if she really took care of herself, she would definitely develop a chronic illness.

After the Chinese medicine was ready, Wang Juan went to feed it to her daughter, but found that Wang Tingting had not drunk the chicken soup at all. She was still lying on the bed motionless, her face was extremely pale, and her lips were a little gray.

Wang Juan felt sad and almost cried, but she forced herself to hold back the tears.

"Child, you are weak right now, you can't not eat. Even if it's not for you, you have to think about your mother."

Wang Juan sat at the head of the bed, counseling her daughter.

She brought a bowl of medicine and fed it to Wang Tingting spoonful by spoonful, but Wang Tingting refused to drink it and knocked the bowl over.

This is freshly boiled medicine. It's okay to drink it spoonful by spoonful, but this bowl of medicine was spilled directly. I can't tell you how hot it is.

Wang Juan was shocked. "Child, you are not burned, right?"

Most of the medicine was spilled on the quilt, but a small amount was spilled on Wang Tingting's arm.

Her arm suddenly became swollen and red, which looked somewhat scary.

Wang Juan hurriedly fetched a basin of cold water, dipped a towel in it, and applied it on the back of Wang Tingting's hand.

Wang Tingting was unhappy and didn't want to wear the towel, so she just threw it away.

She hadn't eaten for several days and didn't look very energetic, but her words were still very vicious.

"Don't pretend to be a good person here. If you had known this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? If you didn't want me to suffer, you should have strangled me to death when I was born. Now it would be better for you and for me."

Wang Juan was so sad to hear such words.

"You are stabbing me in the heart, kid. Your father was so angry that he did that."

"He clearly wants to beat me to death. It just so happens that now my reputation is ruined and my eldest brother doesn't want me anymore. What am I still living for?"

Wang Tingting didn’t know who she hated, but she felt very uncomfortable anyway. Since the conversation with Mo Dahai had broken down, she knew that people outside would slander her like this.

Wang Tingting also knew that her current situation was not good, and there were rumors everywhere. She had given her identity to Mo Dahai, and it would be difficult for her to marry someone else. She couldn't marry the old man as his second wife.

But if she married Mo Dahai, his family would definitely bully her, and she would always be inferior to others in the Mo family.

But Mo Dahai is a filial son, and Mrs. Mo is so greedy that she doesn't want to give even a penny of betrothal gift.

Wang Tingting had wanted to marry into the Mo family in a grand ceremony, but now that there was no other way, she could only think of a way to make Mo Dahai bow his head first, because Mo Dahai was the weak point of the Mo family. As long as Mo Dahai was controlled, the Mo family could be controlled.

Thinking of this, Wang Tingting looked at Wang Juan. Wang Juan still felt sorry for her, so she looked out the window again.

"Mom, things have come to this, I still want to marry Brother Mo. After all, my reputation has been ruined, and I can't marry someone else."

"if not?"

Wang Tingting is also very determined now. Although she is like this now, it is all caused by Mo Dahai. Even if she and Mo Dahai have no feelings for each other anymore, she will marry Mo Dahai and not let their family have a good life.
