Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 710 - 709: Shen Family’s Treasure

Shen Qinglan nodded, then looked at Qiu Li and Shen Qingju and asked, "What about you two? Do you want to drink?"

The two shook their heads repeatedly, and Shen Qingju said, "No, Mom said it was specially stewed for you. Just drink it yourself."

Who knows, they were lucky enough to even smell it. And now being asked to drink it?

Shen Qinglan brought over the chicken soup, took a sip, and nodded, "It tastes quite good. Are you sure you don’t want any?"

Qiu Li and Shen Qingju moved slightly aside, pretending not to hear.

Shen Qinglan raised an eyebrow suspiciously, "You aren’t feeling jealous because Mom said it was specially stewed for me, are you?"

Shen Qingju shook her head, "No, no, no. We just think you’ve been away for so long, you’ve lost weight. You should definitely nourish yourself more."

Qiu Li nodded in agreement.

Shen Qinglan glanced back and forth between the two of them, finally landing her questioning gaze on Dong Yao, who was trying hard not to laugh.

Dong Yao chuckled lightly and said, "They’ve had too much to drink and are scared of the chicken soup, not because of what Mom said."

"Oh!" Shen Qinglan nodded knowingly, realizing they had developed a "chicken soup phobia."

"If you don’t want soup, you can eat the chicken!" Shen Qinglan said, "The chicken tastes good too."

"You eat it," Qiu Li laughed, "We’ll have something else."

Dong Yao said helplessly, "Mom used to want to drink it every day but couldn’t. You guys are so lucky to be picky about it now."

Shen Qingju and Qiu Li heard this and lowered their heads in shame.

"Times were tough back then," Dong Yao said, "When I was taking care of your elder sister, it was your granny who borrowed eggs from others. We repaid it after our own hens laid eggs."

Thinking back to those days, Dong Yao sighed lightly, "Your granny and aunt were so generous, always bringing the good stuff, even if they wouldn’t eat it themselves."

"Especially you, Qinglan," Dong Yao looked at Shen Qinglan, "Your aunt pampered you even more than your cousin. Every New Year she made new clothes for you; your cousins didn’t get such good treatment."

"I know that." Shen Qingju said, sounding jealous, "Back then, my cousin and I got nothing, but she got one set after another. Our elder cousin wasn’t married then, went to town to write letters to earn money, and spent it all on treats for her; we got none."

"Also your second cousin," Dong Yao laughed, "His wife’s fund was all spent on you. He worked in town and earned two taels of silver a month; at least one and a half taels went to you."

"Exactly!" Shen Qingju said, "Back then I even wondered if you were really a child of the elder uncle’s family, and the cousin was from ours."

Shen Qinglan found it heartwarming to hear this, but unfortunately, the little fool’s memories were all fuzzy, and she only remembered bits and pieces of those past things.

"Now that you’re successful, you should definitely support elder uncle’s family more." Shen Qingju said, "Once you had a fever, Dad and elder uncle carried you on their backs to town before dawn. Thinking about it now, you were simply the treasure of the Shen Family."

Dong Yao chuckled, "Isn’t that true? Qingju and Qingzhu were both raised by me, and you, Qinglan, were practically raised by the whole Shen Family."

"No wonder Qinglan is so simple," Qiu Li laughed, "Being pampered by so many people, it’s truly wonderful!"

Simple? Shen Qinglan chuckled to herself.

Isn’t that word more fitting to describe Qiu Li herself?

Shen Qinglan sighed inwardly, wondering if the mischievous heavens sent her into this little fool’s body to repay their kindness.
