Courtyard House: Wudang Disciple Sweeps Through the Compound

Madam Jia Zhang shouted angrily at Qin Huairu, "What are you still standing there for? Can't you see my precious grandson is practically crying from craving fish? Hurry up and go to the Chen family and tell that little beast to bring my grandson a bowl of fish!"

Qin Huairu's face was full of trouble. She sighed softly and said, "Mom, you know the situation today. Chen Wenqi is angry and has had such a bad time with us. How could he possibly be willing to give us the fish?"

Jia Zhangshi said arrogantly, "I don't care about any of that! My precious grandson is growing up and can't be mistreated or lack nutrition. You go and get it back for me right now, consider it interest for making him apologize to my grandson! When Lao Yi comes home from get off work tonight, he'll make that little beast pay back the house. I absolutely can't let this go!"

Today, not only did Jia Zhangshi not gain any advantage from the Chen family, but she also fell and broke her mouth. She was filled with resentment and anger, unwilling to let the matter rest so easily. She was determined to make the Chen family pay a real price before she would give up.

Unable to resist Jia Zhangshi's urging and coercion, Qin Huairu reluctantly picked up a small bowl and prepared to go out to the Chen family to ask for it.

Madam Jia caught sight of the bowl in Qin Huairu's hand and immediately began to yell angrily, "You brought over such an insignificant little bowl? It's not even enough to fill a tooth gap! Who's going to eat from it? Quickly replace it with that big bowl!"

And so, this well-known classic scene unfolded in the courtyard. Qin Huairu stepped out of the room carrying a large bowl that was bigger than her face and hurried towards the Chen family's house in the backyard.

As soon as she reached the backyard gate, a rich, mouthwatering aroma of fish wafted into her nostrils, and Qin Huairu couldn't help but take several deep breaths of this enticing fragrance.

Qin Huairu wondered to herself what ingenious method Chen Wenqi had used to make the fish smell so delicious that it could be smelled clearly from a distance.

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Qin Huairu quickened her pace, secretly anxious that if she arrived any later, Chen Wenqi and his two siblings would have already devoured the delicious fish, leaving not even a drop of soup.

At this very moment, in the Chen family's house in the backyard, Chen Wenqi was carefully picking up a large piece of fresh and plump fish meat, meticulously picking out the tiny fish bones one by one, and then gently placing it into his younger sister Chen Wensi's rice bowl.

Little Sisi held the warm rice bowl in both hands, her two round eyes smiling like crescent moons in the sky. Her face was full of undisguised joy, and she said in a clear and melodious voice, "Brother, this fish is so delicious! It smells amazing!"

Chen Wenzi, who was sitting to the side, was also enjoying her food. While chewing, she said to Chen Wenqi, "Brother, the cornbread you made is absolutely delicious. It's even more fragrant than the ones Mom used to make."

With a gentle and doting smile on his face, Chen Wenqi picked up a piece of tender fish and put it into his younger brother Chen Wenzi's bowl, carefully instructing him: "Eat slowly, don't rush, be careful not to get a fish bone stuck in your throat."

Chen Wenzi looked down at the tender fish in her bowl and said with a hint of complaint, "Brother, you've already picked all the fish bones out for your sister, why didn't you pick them out for me too?"

Chen Wenqi reached out and gently scratched his little nose, saying with a smile, "Your little sister is still young and can't pick out fish bones herself. You're so old and still so spoiled. It's already good enough that you have something to eat, but you're still being picky."

Chen Wenzi chuckled and quickly waved her hand, saying, "I was just kidding, brother! Little sister, your second brother will help you pick out the fish bones too. Eat more so you can grow tall and strong."

As he spoke, he carefully picked out the fish bones from the fish meat in his bowl and gently picked up the clean, boneless fish meat and gave it to his sister.

The younger sister, Chen Wensi, smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into tiny slits, and said sweetly, "Thank you, Second Brother! You're the best, Second Brother!"

Chen Wenqi had long since figured out the personalities of the people in the courtyard house. He knew they always liked to come to someone's house to ask for things while they were eating, so he had closed the door tightly in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble.

The sudden knocking on the door shattered the warm and harmonious atmosphere inside, which immediately made Chen Wenqi feel very displeased.

Chen Wenqi put down his bowl and chopsticks, raised his voice towards the door, and asked, "Who is it?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he got up and walked straight towards the door.

He walked to the door and gently opened it a crack. When he saw Qin Huairu holding a huge bowl that was bigger than her face, he thought to himself: Goodness, this is indeed a classic scene in the courtyard house. It really does not disappoint.

Chen Wenqi blocked the doorway and asked in a cold tone, "What is it?"

He deliberately stood in the middle of the door, not giving Qin Huairu any chance to squeeze in.

Seeing Chen Wenqi's cold and distant attitude, Qin Huairu felt a surge of dissatisfaction that was hard to conceal.

But Qin Huairu's title of "white lotus" didn't come out of thin air. She immediately suppressed her displeasure and quickly put on a pitiful look.

Seeing her pretentious and affected manner, Chen Wenqi felt even more disgusted. He had seen this kind of green tea trick many times in his previous life.

Looking back on his past life, he was a super-rich second-generation heir with a huge fortune. He had met countless internet celebrities and models, and each of them was several levels above Qin Huairu in terms of their manipulative tactics. Qin Huairu's little tricks were nothing to him.

Although Chen Wenqi looks only fourteen years old, he has the soul of an adult who has experienced many vicissitudes and seen through the ways of the world.

Qin Huairu put on a pitiful expression and said in a soft voice, "Chen Wenqi, you know about my family's situation. My son is at a crucial stage of growth, so we must make sure he gets enough nutrition."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Wenqi interrupted her, saying, "Stop! My younger brother and sister are also at a crucial stage of their growth. We don't even have enough food for ourselves, let alone any extra for you."

"Oh dear, this bowl is a whole size bigger than your face! How dare you make such an unreasonable request?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Huairu felt a surge of inexplicable anger.
