Spring comes to the desperate place

Chapter 245 Complaint

"This pot is not spicy, but quite fragrant." Chen Yuer happily picked up several pieces of baby cabbage in the spicy pot with chopsticks. The baby cabbage was cooked in the pot and was well-flavored. It could absorb the spiciness better than meat. Song Dahao looked at the red leaves and couldn't help but step back a little.

"Wife, how about we eat something else? This looks spicy..."

"It's not spicy at all? Try it, it's really not spicy." Chen Yuer said as she picked up a piece of meat and handed it to Song Dahao's mouth.

Looking at his confident wife, Song Dahao felt suspicious. It was obviously very spicy when he was eating it just now, but why did his wife look fine now? Could it be that the spicy hotpot will become less spicy as it cooks?

With the mentality of giving it a try, Song Daha opened his mouth and ate the piece of meat. After he finished eating, he began to regret it. After swallowing the piece of meat with difficulty, Song Daha immediately began to drink sour plum soup frantically. Because they were going to eat hot pot, the sour plum soup was chilled in advance. Drinking it now did relieve a little of the spiciness, but once he stopped, the burning feeling in his mouth came back.

Poor Song Daha, a dark-skinned and rough man, his face turned red from the spicy taste of the meat, which left Chen Yuer stunned.

Chen Yuer didn't believe it and picked up another piece of meat and put it into her mouth. There was only the aroma of meat and fat in her mouth. Except that it was a little overcooked because it was cooked for a long time, it didn't taste spicy at all.

Seeing her son and daughter-in-law like this, Amma Song almost laughed to death.

"Oh my, you two are really something. Yu'er, you've already given birth to a child, how come you don't know that your taste will change when you're pregnant?"

Song Qin also reacted and she covered her mouth and laughed.

"Sister-in-law, you are really stupid for three years after pregnancy. You are pregnant, and your taste is different from before you got pregnant. Isn't that normal?"

Chen Yuer, who was originally confused, understood what was going on after being reminded. She didn't know whether to laugh or cry and poured another cup of sour plum soup for Song Daha.

"Oh, I just realized that. I've never eaten anything this spicy before. Isn't this because I didn't react?"

Aunt Song looked at her belly and said gently, "This child has a strong taste. In the future, there will be one more person in the family who can eat spicy food."

Song Chunlin also looked at Chen Yuer's belly expectantly: "From now on, I will take care of all your chili!"

Everyone burst into laughter again when they heard this. Just as they were eating enthusiastically, there was a knock on the door. Perhaps it was too noisy inside, so no one heard the sound at first.

The person outside knocked on the door for a while, but there was no movement at all. Listening to the laughter from inside, Zhou Daya bit her lip, signaled the maid to make way, took a few steps forward, and banged on the door hard. The 'bang bang bang' sound finally covered up the laughter from inside.

Everyone in the Song family looked towards the door in confusion. Who would be so ignorant of etiquette to come and pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year?

Grandpa Song frowned, and Song Dahe immediately signaled Song Chunsheng to go and open the door. Song Chunsheng put down his chopsticks and went out. When he opened the door, he was surprised because the person who came was Zhou Daya.

Seeing Zhou Daya's big belly, Song Chunsheng was a little unhappy, but he still turned around and said to his family: "Wife, my cousin is here."

Zhou Ning was slightly stunned and was about to say which cousin, but when he turned around, he found that Zhou Daya was also looking at him. Because of the family rules, Song Chunsheng did not let Zhou Daya in. Zhou Ning also stood up and walked quickly to the door, looking at Zhou Daya with some confusion.

"Cousin, today is New Year's Day." The implication was that she was not a welcome guest here.

However, Zhou Daya seemed to be deaf to what was said. She looked around and found Gu Fengyun among the people at a large table in the main hall. Although she had never seen Gu Fengyun before, she still had some brains. Just by looking at Gu Fengyun's dress and his aura, she easily found the person she was looking for. However, Zhou Ning and his wife had no intention of inviting her in.

Zhou Daya kept cursing the two of them in her heart, but she completely forgot that she was the one who suddenly came to the door first during the New Year. Normally, no one would come to visit on the first day of the New Year because it would affect the host's fortune for the whole year. Therefore, Zhou Daya's behavior at this moment was almost like coming here on purpose to bring bad luck, and she would not be welcome in anyone's home.

But she had a very high opinion of herself and felt that as Zhou Ning's sister, Zhou Ning should treat her with courtesy no matter what. Seeing that Zhou Ning was as unyielding as Song Chunsheng, her face became filled with resentment.

Good, looks more unlucky.

Zhou Ning and Song Chunsheng were already a little impatient, and Zhou Ning was even more disinterested in his attitude towards Zhou Daya.

"Cousin, you know the rules of the New Year, don't you? What on earth do you want to do by coming to my house on the first day of the New Year?"

Zhou Daya looked at the unfriendly couple, feeling choked up in her heart, and her tone became stiff: "I didn't come here to look for you, let alone to pay New Year's greetings. You don't need to be so defensive against me. I just want to see Lord Gu, and then I'll leave."

Meeting Lord Gu? Zhou Ning was even more surprised, as was Song Chunsheng. However, they could never imagine how Zhou Daya could be related to Lord Gu.

Seeing that they seemed to not believe her, Zhou Daya continued, "Let me put it this way. I came here for my husband. Lord Gu has captured my husband. As a wife, it is not too much for me to ask him a question, right?"

Song Chunsheng and his wife were now in disbelief. Zhou Ning originally thought that Zhou Daya came here to cause trouble, but seeing that Zhou Daya came to the Song family with a big belly just to see Lord Gu, he was skeptical about her words. He asked Song Chunsheng to go in and tell Gu Fengyun that whether to meet or not was up to Gu Fengyun.

After listening to what Song Chunsheng said, Gu Fengyun felt a little unhappy, but considering that Zhou Daya was pregnant, he still walked to the door and looked at Zhou Daya:

"You said that I captured your husband. What's your husband's name and why was he captured by me?"

Gu Fengyun was only wearing casual clothes at the moment, but his aura as a superior was not restrained. Zhou Daya was intimidated by his aura and felt her legs trembling, but she still went ahead to complain.

"My husband's surname is Li, and his given name is Xu. He is a descendant of the Li family. You arrested him for stealing grain seeds. Now his life or death is unknown. The elders in the family have passed away. I am the only one left with the unborn child in my belly. I just want to ask you, my lord. The case of stealing grain seeds should be handed over to the prefect of Jingzhao for trial. Why did the Ministry of Justice intervene this time and even directly take him to the prison? You didn't even provide any evidence. How can you arrest him directly?"
