Chapter 39
Actually Solving a Case
Qin Zhenzhens family was a large one.
Her eldest and second brothers were already married but still lived together. Her eldest brother even had a two-year-old son.
With Qin Zhenzhen, her grandma, and her parents, the total number of family members was eleven.
The dining s.p.a.ce was a bit cramped, with one main table and an additional low table. The two sisters-in-law and the two-year-old nephew sat at the low table, but they didnt mind.
The food spread across both tables, showcasing the familys lavish dinner. There were dishes like pig feet and pig ears.
All three of Qin Zhenzhens brothers worked as butchers. They owned two pork stalls and a beef stall in town, ensuring a steady supply of meat in the household.
Qin Zhenzhens brother and sisters-in-law were astonished as they sipped her fish soup and savored the braised carp.
Mother, did Zhenzhen really cook this fish soup and carp, not you? they asked in disbelief.
Ms. Yang proudly confirmed, Yes, Zhenzhen cooked it herself! Its a delightful surprise. Zhenzhen is so talented and resourceful that she can amaze everyone with her first-time cooking.
Mother, you were the one who gave Zhenzhen pointers, right? But mothers fish cooking wasnt this delicious at all.
Is this called the student surpa.s.sing the master?
Hahaha, that must be it!
Other than Grandma Qin, the entire family laughed happily.
Qin Zhenzhen observed her grandma closely, noting her reaction as she took a sip of the fish soup. Her hands trembled briefly, but she continued to drink without showing any other sign of emotion.
Curiosity consumed Qin Zhenzhen. What kind of experiences had her grandma gone through in the past?
Ms. Yang also wore a smile and inquired with genuine concern, Mom, how is the fish soup?
Grandma Qin maintained her calm expression. Its acceptable.
Ms. Yangs happiness grew even more.
Her mother-in-law was known for being meticulous about food, so for her to deem it acceptable was quite rare.
Ms. Yang proudly added, Actually, I didnt teach Zhenzhen how to cook. It was Zhenzhens sister-in-law, Su Ning, who taught her. But it wouldnt be possible without Zhenzhens own understanding and remarkable talent in cooking!
The family eagerly showered Qin Zhenzhen with praise.
This is the most incredible fish soup Ive ever had. The fish meat is simply exceptional!
Zhenzhens cooking skills rival those of professional chefs in top-tier restaurants!
I dare say its on par with the delicacies prepared by royal chefs!
Qin Zhenzhen couldnt help but feel elated. The recognition from her family brought her immense joy.
She had deliberately showcased her culinary prowess to demonstrate her capabilities as a self-sufficient woman who could lead a fulfilling life without relying on a man. Her intention was to persuade her family to support her in pursuing a divorce.
However, before she could utter a word, Qin Dalong interjected.
We b.u.mped into Qian Erniu. He had something to tell us about Zhenzhen.
Ms. Yangs curiosity was piqued. What is it? Please, do tell!
Qin Dalong appeared perplexed. Zhenzhen, didnt you inform Mom and Dad about what happened?
Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. I havent had the chance to discuss it yet. Its just a minor issue.
Ms. Yang grew increasingly anxious. What happened? Tell me right away!
She worried about her daughter mistreating others, but she was equally concerned about her daughter being mistreated by others. Even if it was a minor issue, she wanted to know the details.
Qin Dalong proceeded to recount the incidents involving Ms. Lins mistreatment of Su Cheng, Qin Zhenzhens efforts to prove Su Chengs innocence, her fis.h.i.+ng trip with Su Ning, and her rejection of Ms. Lins proposal.
Ms. Yang was left speechless with astonishment.
Zhenzhen, my precious daughter! Youre truly remarkable! Solving a case like this requires the skills of a seasoned detective!
No wonder you have such a close bond with your sister-in-law and brother-in-law. So many extraordinary things have taken place!
