“We’ll worry about whether they can eat it without dying later,” Pei Wenlee said, even though she was tempted, she was also afraid of getting sick from eating it.
Lady Chen wouldn’t allow it either; if they did get sick from eating it, it would be too late for regrets.
Pei Qin ordered San Ya and Si Ya to take their mothers’ food to the side room; they would eat there from now on.
Lady Fang ladled out the gruel and carried it towards the main room.
“Mother!
Bring it here!” Pei Qin called out to her.
“You’re not a servant, and they have hands and feet!”
Lady Fang’s face changed color, and she glanced into the main room, “This is for your grandparents…”
“Let me carry it then!” Pei Houli came over, taking a bowl in his hand but didn’t take the other.
Lady Fang lowered her eyes and carried the bowl into the main room.
Pei Houli also set down the bowl, hurried out, and grabbed her arm, “Da Ya’s mother!
Listen to me, you really can’t eat rat meat!
I will go get some meat for you tomorrow!”
Lady Fang immediately pulled her arm away forcefully, “Rat meat isn’t poison!”
Pei Houli wasn’t the least bit embarrassed and tried to grab her again; Lady Fang quickly walked towards the side room.
Pei Houli followed her for a few steps, “Da Ya’s
mother!”
Pei Qin leaned against the doorframe with her arms crossed and a hooked corner of her mouth, watching him coldly.
Being stared at by her, Pei Houli felt an inexplicable chill and unease, feelings he had never experienced before with anyone else, making him extremely uncomfortable.

San Ya brought over two more bowls of gruel, which Pei Qin caught, gave Pei Houli a deep look, and went into the side room.
Pei Wendong was already impatient.
Si Ya had also already picked up a piece, smelling it but not daring to eat.
Pei Qin sat down, motioned for Lady Fang and the others to start eating, and she took the lead by putting a piece in her mouth.
Pei Wendong had already started gnawing on it.
San Ya bit off a small piece tentatively; she was also a bit scared of getting sick from eating it, but the ones they had caught were big and didn’t resemble a rat at all.
“It’s definitely fine, eat without worrying!” Pei Qin assured, seeing Lady Fang holding a piece of meat and looking worriedly at them, giving her a smile.
“Delicious!
So flavorful!” Pei Wendong exclaimed with his mouth full of grease.
Pei Qin, seeing how he ate, couldn’t help but frown.
Feeling her gaze, Pei Wendong hesitated for a moment, scared to continue eating heartily.
“Eat slowly, no one is competing with you,” Pei Qin said.
Although she usually slacked off, her father from the Pei family had said that even if you’re a slacker, you should be one with manners and depth.
It comes in handy when you’re putting on airs!
Realizing she was objecting to his messy eating, Pei Wendong got scared and began eating in small bites.
Lady Fang’s eyes reddened as she glanced at the meat in the basin and picked up a piece to eat as well.
If eating it made them sick, at least she could take on some of it.
The bamboo rat meat was tender and spicy; for those who hadn’t tasted meat all year, it was delicious.
Soon, they all helped clean out the basin of stir-fried bamboo rat meat.
In the main room, those eating fried radish strips could smell the aroma and thought about the meat.
Halfway through his meal, Pei Wenbo came over to the side room.
On one hand, he hoped they would all get sick from eating it; on the other, if they didn’t, then he could eat it too.
Seeing the meat in the basin was finished, Pei Wenbo stomped away with a resentful pout, throwing down his chopsticks, “I’m not eating this!”
“A whole basin of meat isn’t good!
Maybe by tomorrow we’ll all be down for the count!” Pei Wenlee commented spitefully.
Lady Fang said nothing, cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and scrubbed the pot to feed the pigs.
Pei Houli came over to the pigs’ food and said to Lady Fang, “Let Da Ya sleep in her own room tonight!
Having eaten that rat meat, I’m not at ease.
I’ll watch over you all.
If anything happens, we can act in time!”
Lady Fang pressed her lips together and said nothing.
