Chapter 174 The Sour Daya
After hearing what Ye the Hunter said, Fuguier was willing to teach him kung fu, and he was so excited that he ate a big extra bowl of rice that night.
This meal was naturally cooked with the rice that Shen Yitian had someone send over.
She didn't give it for free. She made it clear that the money would be deducted from Yue Niang's monthly allowance, and Yue Niang readily agreed.
The family ate happily. Fuguier and Yue Niang ate fast, but Song Xiaer ate slowly. Fuguier left half a bowl of rice for her in the iron pot.
No one had eaten much these days, and today they had white rice, so Fuguier could actually eat a lot. But he remembered that Yue Niang said she wanted to treat Song Xiaer as her own sister, so he resisted the urge to eat another bowl and saved the rest of the rice for Song Xiaer.
Fuguier even left a lot of fish and shrimp in the bowl for her.
Seeing that he was no longer making trouble every day and could take care of his sister, Yue Niang felt relieved.
Song Xiaer ate her meal in small bites. Seeing that Fuguier and Yue Niang had put down their bowls and chopsticks, she ate even slower.
Anyway, the rest were hers, so she thought of eating them slowly. No one was snatching them away, so she wasn't in a hurry at all.
But she didn't expect that before she finished her meal, Daya came over with some seaweed.
"Aunt San, my mother found some seaweed today. Thinking it would be hard for you to take care of two children alone, she asked me to bring some over to you."
Daya smiled.
The house was not yet built, and the family was eating outside. When Daya approached, she saw the rice in Song Xiaer's bowl, as well as the leftover fish and shrimp in the bowl.
The family sat on the floor to eat, and Daya was standing. She could even see the unfinished white rice in the pot.
These fish and shrimps were actually not very big, and Yue Niang was reluctant to buy the good ones, so she only picked a few from the pile that Lao Xu planned to put back into the sea.
I came back, squeezed the fish belly, and fried it according to the method Shen Yitian had told me before. It tasted pretty good.
There's actually quite a lot of food in Maoer Village. Everyone fishes, and small fish like this are common.
But Daya is different. They have only been in Maoer Village for a short time. She and her mother have only watched the fishermen cast their nets on the fishing boats, and have never tried to do it themselves.
And now even if there are fish and shrimp, each of them has to pay their share, so they can't get any to eat.
After being in Maoer Village for so long, it was only that day when Shen Yitian treated her to a meal that she finally ate fish and shrimp...
Seeing the fish and shrimps, he couldn't take his eyes off them. He stared at them and swallowed silently.
When Yue Niang saw her bringing the food, she hurriedly asked her to sit down first.
"Daya, why are you here at this time? Have you eaten? If not, let's eat together." She greeted politely.
Who knew that Daya put down the seaweed in her hand and prepared to serve the rice.
There were no more bowls at Yue Niang's house, so she simply took the bowl containing the fish to serve the rice.
He kept saying, "Then I won't be polite to Auntie San. You've all finished eating anyway, so this dish will be thrown away if you don't eat it."
After saying this, she directly poured all the leftover rice in the pot into her bowl, and also scooped all the shrimps from the other bowl into her own bowl.
There was a little oil in it, and she didn't want to waste it, so she put some white rice in it and rolled it in the bowl, then ate it all in one bite.
The movements were so smooth that no one could react.
When Yue Niang came to her senses, Song Xiaer had already started sobbing.
"Sister Daya, Xia'er hasn't eaten enough yet." Fuguier pursed his lips and said a little embarrassedly.
He patted Song Xiaer's head, and Song Xiaer's tears fell into the bowl, and she suddenly looked even more aggrieved.
Daya looked at Song Xiaer bewilderedly and said, "Huh? I didn't know. I thought you were all full and didn't want these."
She licked her chopsticks and handed the bowl to Song Xiaer.
"Well, how about this, you take half of the rice."
Song Xiaer looked up at her, and seeing her raised eyebrows and smiling, she cried even more aggrievedly.
"That's mine." She sobbed.
Fuguier patted Song Xiaer on the shoulder and coaxed her in a low voice.
For a moment, the situation here was a bit awkward.
Mrs. Song Wan saw this and came over to ask what was going on.
Yue Niang said, "Hey, it's just a child being upset, it's nothing serious."
After saying that, he looked at Song Xiaer again: "You eat so slowly, don't cry now. Finish the rice in your bowl, wash the dishes quickly and get ready for bed."
After saying that, he didn't care about Daya and just picked up all the bowls on the ground.
Daya acted as if she didn't see Yue Niang's action. She just symbolically handed the bowl to Song Xiaer, then immediately took it back and started eating the rice in no time.
In just a few bites, he had finished up the half bowl of rice, not even a grain of rice was left.
"Aunt San, I'm done eating. The food in your house is so delicious. It's true that life is different with the help of the Dragon Girl." She handed the bowl to Yue Niang, her tone full of sourness.
Yue Niang was stunned for a moment and looked at Daya with some confusion.
This kid, why are the words he said today so sour?
"Aunt San, we are a family, right?" Daya put down the bowl, sat next to Song Xiaer unnoticeably, and pushed Song Xiaer aside.
Fuguier saw this and said, "Sister Daya, you're crowding Xiaer."
Daya laughed and said, "There's so much space here. Everyone is sitting on the ground. How can I squeeze anyone?"
After saying that, he glared at Fuguier and said, "You kid, have you forgotten who your biological sibling is?"
The implication is that she and Fugui'er are a family, and Song Xia'er is an outsider.
Song Xiaer pursed her lips and looked at Fuguier, and the tears that were already dripping became bigger.
"Brother Fuguier." She looked at Fuguier timidly, her voice sounding very aggrieved.
Fuguier hummed and opened his hands to block Song Xiaer: "Sister Daya, Xiaer is also my sister."
What he meant was to pick Daya out.
Daya's smiling face suddenly changed.
"What's wrong with you, kid? Don't you know who you're kissing? Are all the little girls you picked up from your place your sisters?"
After saying that, he rolled his eyes at Song Xiaer again.
"Daya." Yue Niang frowned and looked at Daya with disapproval.
"Since I adopted Xia'er, she is Fugui'er's sister."
"But she's not from our family. She's just an adopted daughter. She's not a biological sibling to Fugui'er. We just need to support her and do the work. Do you really want to be Fugui'er's sister?"
In her opinion, Song Xiaer was an unwanted lonely star, and it was good enough to give her something to eat.
"Daya, how can you say that? If you say that, Fugui'er is not my biological son. Why don't you take him back and let your relatives raise him?"
"Mom!" Fuguier became anxious when he heard this and shouted immediately.
