Chen Xiao noticed the strange looks from her husband, son, and daughter-in-law. Puzzled, she asked, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"
Zhao Xianhong didn't think his wife was ignorant or anything. He handed her his phone to take a look too. After all, if he hadn't read the message, he wouldn't have known the real story behind the rice either.

Zhao Moqing came out carrying the wild fish head soup and heard Chen Xiao and Lin Fen
