He didn’t finish the second half of his sentence—You’re too skinny. I like the one who has big breasts and is feminine.
Ning Erlang wanted to hit him when he heard his words. When he heard that, Ning Dalang’s gaze darkened, but Xiaoxiao replied calmly, “Oh, don’t worry. I don’t like people like you either.”

However, Xiaoxiao did not continue this topic. She said, “I made the sour and pickled pepper bamboo shoots you ate. Perhaps I’ll make even more delicious food in the future, so do you want to tell me what you like to eat now?”
Shen Tianci thought momentarily and said, “I’m tired of shark fin and abalone. The bird’s nest doesn’t taste good either. The chicken soup smells like medicine…”
The more he spoke, the stronger Ning Erlang’s urge to hit someone became. Later, his sister explained this was “having a grudge against the rich.” In short, Shen Tianci couldn’t figure out what he liked to eat. He felt that he didn’t like anything.
Xiaoxiao understood and pointed in the direction of the market. “Why don’t you come with us to take a look and buy whatever you want to eat?”
He had never done this before. Shen Tianci found it interesting and promising.
Conversely, County Magistrate Shen had a headache after learning about his son’s plan. He wanted to control his son, but his wife would tear up every time he said something harsh.
Shen Tianci was his first son. If nothing went wrong, he should be his only son. His wife had hurt her body when she gave birth, and he could not bear to see her suffer again. Therefore, his family inevitably doted on Tianci a little, nurturing his domineering personality.
Fortunately, Shen Tianci was still kind-hearted. Usually, he would only throw a tantrum because of food, but he did not cause trouble in big matters. When he found out he was going to the farm to buy food, the county magistrate, originally planning to go to the nearby village to see the spring plowing situation, sent a few more people to follow him.
With his father’s approval, Shen Tianci was even more happy. He wanted to buy everything in the market. Xiaoxiao observed his expression along the way. Other than discovering that he was overweight and a little weak, nothing was wrong with him.

Old Madam Wang chose her words carefully. “I have to coax him no matter what he eats. He doesn’t like to eat anything he has eaten before. It’s still better now. When he was young, I chased after him to feed him.”
“Recently, Young Master often feels depressed and short of breath. He even likes to sweat. Old Master and Madam are extremely anxious, but the doctor says nothing wrong after seeing him. He only asked us to make many nourishing soups. However, Young Master doesn’t want to drink, which makes us worried…”
Xiaoxiao was speechless. She thought, “Very good. I hate the rich. How is this not having a bad appetite? He has nothing better to do!”
Knowing that there was nothing wrong with Shen Tianci’s body, she chose the ingredients. She did not care about what Shen Tianci bought. In any case, the county magistrate’s family would pay for it. She picked some vegetables and meat that she did not have at home. Then, she went to the grain and oil shop to buy a huge jar of oil, a very expensive bag of sugar, and some spices that Ning Erlang did not understand that he felt were dispensable but tasted especially good in the vegetables.
Xiaoxiao knew the situation very accurately. Just as Ning Erlang was about to stop her, she stopped.
His sister convinced Ning Erlang. Since his mother bought the rice seeds, Xiaoxiao had found all kinds of excuses to buy things at home. They had earned a lot of money these days, but after spending it like this, they didn’t have much left!
Whether it was her parents or Ning Erlang, they all talked openly and secretly about her. However, she had many reasons and could always do whatever she wanted.
Ning Erlang said, “Do you remember what you promised me last time?”
