Chapter 3: Energy

If you are feeling unwell, please do not hesitate to speak up. Each room has medicine delivered, and Master Cen San has instructed that if you are unwell, do not rush to take medicine; instead, directly call for a doctor, and he will cover the consultation fee

The expression of the foolish child does not seem to be one of retaliation

Chacha ate expressionlessly, her movements were mechanical, standard, and regular

On the left and on the right, a mountain of meat piled up in Chacha's bowl... a mountain of fatty meat

Tang Wugeng was straightforward and directly picked the meat out of her bowl, replacing it with vegetables: "Eat this! Otherwise, you will have an upset stomach!"

Amid the peculiar and suppressed laughter of those around them, the two young masters silently consumed the greasy fatty meat, their mouths feeling overly rich.

The food served has a very high caloric content, providing a substantial energy reserve. Although it requires her stomach to accelerate digestion, absorption, and conversion, this does not diminish her fondness for the dish. She finds it somewhat strange that these two humans are likely unaware of what this food means to her, so why are they being so kind as to offer it to her? Observing the cautious glances from those around her, it seems that the food in her bowl is quite significant.

Li was seeking the young lady Qingfang, who had been sent by the old lady to pay a visit: "Miss, I do not wish for much. If you could stay at the clan school mhetushu.com until you reach adulthood and return, it might frighten the female teacher. I can teach you the skills of needlework, how about that? In our household, there is not a single literate person. Qingye is already in such a state; if we do not have any resources, I... I..."

It seems you really like it, have another one. On the other side, there is another pig trotter.

Chacha still maintains a dazed expression

"Xici, your maid, you handle it," said the old lady, putting down her chopsticks and closing her eyes as if tired. "Well, we have eaten, enjoyed ourselves, and seen everything. Everyone, please disperse and return to rest."

Chacha seemed unaware that she was being bullied, and in fact, she truly did not know.

Qingfang knelt down in a fluster: "I was wrong, I beg the lady to punish me!"

"Seventh Sister, you eat!" A pig's knuckle landed in the bowl, and the young boy looked on with anticipation, "Try it, is it delicious?"

The maid, who had been standing behind the three young masters and mistresses and unable to intervene, immediately said: "I am here."

Chacha finished the vegetables but continued to eat meat, taking the opportunity to retort, "What you picked is quite good"

The two dazed individuals who received the meat

At this moment, Cha Cha, oblivious to the happenings outside the window, finished the last bite of rice while indulging in the fatty meat

"Madam, please take care as you walk." The crowd responded in agreement

Qingfang is a young woman of considerable age, with a composed expression. At this moment, she also appears somewhat reluctant, nodding her head: "I will speak to the lady when I return. The lady has also expressed concern about the young miss's future. I believe it should be possible. Aunt, please do not be too anxious; overexerting yourself will not be good for your health."

Regardless of what the true expression of Chacha is, the two young masters will certainly misunderstand it

Young masters and mistresses of the Tang family are sent to the clan school at the age of five. Then, at the age of eight, the boys continue their studies and gradually begin to take additional courses, while the girls are relegated to a secondary position, where they are taught by esteemed female instructors hired by the matriarch to impart the necessary education to the girls. This practice of separating boys and girls at the age of eight is thoroughly implemented in the Tang family.

In the afternoon, Xingxing held a dozen pills in her hand, her expression complex as she looked at Chacha, who was leisurely basking in the sun in the yard, repeatedly asking, "Miss? Are you really not feeling any discomfort in your stomach?"

After Miss Seven, who has a penchant for meat, was proven to pose no danger following a summons, the Li family began to actively consider sending Chacha to school

Throughout the lengthy dining process, Chacha has consistently been the focus of attention and a subject of discussion among the crowd

Watching Miss Seven, who is as foolish as ever, chewing on the fatty meat in her bowl without any awareness, the vegetables in front of her have not been touched even once. A few women, accustomed to being ruthless, even felt a twinge of compassion, thinking that a child without a mother is truly pitiful

The women gathered together for a meal, feeling somewhat embarrassed to eat heartily in front of the meat. They were inherently concerned about maintaining their figures and thus did not eat much. However, at such a large family banquet, it was impossible to have only vegetarian dishes; there had to be meat dishes to make a good impression. Usually, these meat dishes would only be eaten by a few young boys, who would take a few bites before leaving the majority for the servants below to finish off. This time, however, it became a tool for humiliation.

Really not?

Li showed a face full of gratitude, nodding repeatedly as he watched Qingfang leave. Chacha sat beside him, looking dazed, as if he had heard nothing at all

It has only been a few days, and the Li family, feeling helpless, agreed, while pondering how to prepare clothes for their daughter to go out.

"Do you like this? It looks equally delicious." A piece of fatty, glistening pork belly landed in the bowl, and the boy's eyes sparkled.

The main wife, Hua, stood up with the other women and juniors, bowing respectfully and saying: "The daughter-in-law understands, please take care, madam"

Silence in response to inquiry

Xing Xing quickly lowered her head: "Understood, I will go and place the medicine properly with the books. With so much, it will be enough for several years."

Everyone watched as she steadily and methodically eliminated the mountain of fat, piece by piece, until Cen San could no longer bear it and intervened, saying: "Hey! Stop eating, or you'll burst your stomach."

The old lady also put away her smile and suddenly said: "Qingfang!"

Then, not long after, Miss Tang Qi not only added a new label of being foolish but also one of being a meat lover

Take a glance at her

They themselves did not eat, but watched as the little girl gradually consumed enough meat for two plates, unable to smile at all

What is she really thinking about

Of course, Cha Cha did not know what classes she had taken in the past. It is true that she was illiterate, or rather, it is also true that she was shocked when she first encountered a paper medium. On a planet with a harsh living environment, such wasteful behavior truly made one want to flip the table. However, considering that the organisms here had not evolved any means of information transmission, she could only grit her teeth and endure.

He felt his stomach and shook his head, saying: "No."

Forget it, if they understand, they would be fools.

"Yes, yes, I also think you would love to eat it, have another piece." Once again, it was a piece of pork belly, and this time only the fatty part remained.

After a painful moment of hesitation, I comforted myself that a little energy was not a big deal. With a very serious and earnest demeanor, Chacha picked out two pieces of high-energy meat from the bowl and handed them to the two people nearby, nodding and saying, "Thank you, you should eat too"

The young masters who play happily on both sides are not to be trifled with. Cen San is the treasure of the Cen family, the legitimate son, the youngest child, and has been doted on since childhood. He is the most cherished nephew of Concubine Cen in the palace. As for Tang Wu, he is also a legitimate son, and the late-born child of the master, clever and quick-witted, someone who everyone must hold in their palms. In the midst of these two little tyrants stands a foolish illegitimate daughter who has no powerful background and no father to care for her. This scene is truly like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, and can be described as tragic.

The next day, Qingfang came to deliver the message that Chacha could enter the clan school. However, with the Qixi Festival approaching, the matriarch planned to take the women of the household to offer incense. Although the primary purpose was to seek marriage prospects for several eligible young ladies, she also wished to draw a fortune for Miss Qi to dispel any misfortune, and then it would not be too late to go to the clan school afterward

The women nearby could hardly bear to look, seeing the old lady watching with great interest, clearly satisfied with the display of "sibling affection"; they could only lower their heads and eat, focusing on their own affairs.

Young masters are being unreasonable, why are you following suit? What will happen if the young lady eats so much meat and gets a stomachache?
