The Liu Family's Shock (Revised)

Cao Fengqi had no idea that Wu Qianqian wanted revenge on him, nor did he know what a woman could do when she went mad.

Even if he had known, however, he wouldn't have cared.

Nothing had gone wrong on today's journey, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

After traveling for five hours, the group stopped. The Cao family began setting up their shelter and lighting a fire to cook.

"The Cao family is just ahead. Things have really changed."

Half an hour later, four figures arrived in front of the Cao family's shelter.

Liu Fengshan and the other three carried gifts in their hands. They gazed at the mansion ahead, envy in their eyes.

"Let's go."

Zhang Chunfen looked around. "Let's go see our grandson and granddaughter."

The others nodded. They went to the entrance of the Cao family's shelter and knocked.

"Who is it?"

"It's us, Chunying."

A voice came from inside. Hearing her daughter, Zhang Chunfen immediately answered.

The room fell silent for a moment. A few seconds later, the door slowly opened.

"Mom, Dad, what brings you here?" Liu Chunying asked, frowning almost imperceptibly.

"We missed Dabao and Xiaobao, of course. Hehe."

Zhang Chunfen smiled. "We also brought the children something to eat."

Hearing her mother's words, Liu Chunying suddenly felt a little sad. They were a little hypocritical.

"We're eating," she replied flatly, walking back inside.

"Hey, little sister, you..."

Wei Chunchun frowned slightly at her attitude.

Before he could finish, however, Liu Qiang tugged at him, stopping him.

"It's all right. Go ahead and eat."

A trace of awkwardness flashed in Liu Fengshan's eyes as he followed her inside.

He was shocked when he saw the interior of the Cao family's shelter.

Inside, the Cao family members all frowned when they saw their in-laws' unexpected visit.

Cao Jiancheng and Liu Xiuxiu didn't even get up to greet them. They sat there coldly.

They had seen their in-laws' behavior for what it was.

Cao Fengqi glanced over the four of them, a cold smile appearing on his face.

The Liu family knew the Caos had some grievances against them, but they paid it no mind and entered with smiles.

"Oh, you're eating," Zhang Chunfen said to the Caos.

She took the initiative to greet them, then looked at Dabao and Xiaobao. Taking two grilled sausages from her bag, she held them out with a smile. "My sweet grandchildren, look what Grandma brought you. Your favorite grilled sausages."

Dabao and Xiaobao looked at their grandmother, then hesitated and looked at their mother.

Clack, clack!

Seeing this, Cao Fengqi tapped his bowl with his chopsticks and told them, "Don't eat junk food!"

"Oh."

"Okay, Uncle."

The two little ones immediately nodded obediently.

Though they were young, they weren't stupid. They could tell something was wrong with the atmosphere.

At a time like this, listening to Uncle was the right thing to do!

Uncle treated them best.

"How could this be junk food?"

Zhang Chunfen was taken aback. Grilled sausages were a delicacy, weren't they? How could such an expensive snack be junk food?

Suppressing her displeasure, she said to Dabao and Xiaobao, "Come on, children, take them."

Cao Fengqi glanced at her, picked up some meat with his chopsticks, and gave it to the two little ones. "From now on, don't go eating cheap things from other people," he said calmly. "That way, you won't owe anyone a favor. When we owe someone a favor, we have to repay it. Eat more of this level 4 quality meat. And drink more of this wine, too, understand?"

"????"

"????"

Cao Fengqi made no effort to spare their feelings. His sarcastic words caught the Liu family off guard.

What shocked them even more, however, was what he had said.

Level 4 quality meat?

Liu Fengshan and the others stared straight at the table.

Seeing the clearly extraordinary meat on the plates, giving off a faint glow, they were in turmoil.

Was it really level 4 quality meat?

This...

At that moment, they also noticed the other dishes on the table.

Cured meat, wings from some unknown crow, Calamity Rat meat stir-fried with greens, and a plate of fruit.

There was even fruit.

Wait!

There also seemed to be... wine!

Yes, wine!

The Liu family couldn't help sniffing. All kinds of aromas wafted toward them, and they all swallowed.

It felt a little crazy.

Compared with their in-laws' meal, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call their own food pig feed.

"Hehe!"

Liu Fengshan's expression changed, but he forced another smile and pretended not to understand Cao Fengqi's sarcasm. "Dabao and Xiaobao are still young. It's not good for them to drink wine!"

"What's wrong with it? This is level 4 quality Xiao Gallbladder Wine. Drinking it can increase their constitution by five points."

Cao Fengqi picked up the wine jar beside him and placed it on the table to show them. "Dabao and Xiaobao need to drink it to grow strong."

"..."

His words made Liu Fengshan stiffen once again. He stared blankly at the jar.

Liu Qiang, Zhang Chunfen, and the others couldn't help looking at it as well.

Unlike the Mystic Devouring Beast meat, which had already been cooked, the Xiao Gallbladder Wine Cao Fengqi deliberately displayed had attributes they could see.

[Xiao Gallbladder Wine: level 4 quality]

[Effect: a fine wine brewed with the gallbladder of a powerful beast. Drinking it can increase constitution, up to a maximum of 5 points.]

"Hiss-this... you're giving such precious Xiao Gallbladder Wine to two children?"

After seeing the Xiao Gallbladder Wine's attributes for himself, Liu Qiang could no longer contain himself.

This was Xiao Gallbladder Wine that could increase constitution by five whole points, yet they were giving it to two children only a few years old.

If he drank it himself, it could increase his strength considerably.

This was an utter waste.

"Dabao and Xiaobao are children of our Cao family. Of course we'll give them the best things."

Cao Jiancheng was displeased by that remark. "Besides, our Cao family can afford to drink it!" he said coldly.

As he spoke, he picked up the wine cup in front of him and tapped it on the table.

The Liu family looked over the table one person at a time and discovered that everyone except Cao Fengqi had a wine cup.

They felt it was a little crazy.

"I don't even want to drink it. It tastes awful. Grandpa and Mom and the others always make me drink it."

Dabao spoke up in a small voice.

"Dummy, this is good stuff."

Xiaobao rolled her eyes at her brother. "Other people can't get any even if they want it."

Liu Fengshan and the others opened their mouths, their heads buzzing. They could hardly believe what they were seeing.

They knew the Cao family was on the rise again, and that the Cao family's second son now had remarkable strength and luck.

But... even wealthy families couldn't hold a candle to this meal of theirs.

Even the meals of those transcendent families wouldn't be this extravagant!!

This was simply outrageous!

"If there's nothing else, leave. Our family is eating. We won't see you out."

Looking at the shocked faces of the Liu family, Cao Fengqi vented his pent-up anger and directly sent them away.

"Well... Fengqi, you child, there's been some misunderstanding between us..."

"There's no misunderstanding. Don't take our Cao family for fools!"

Zhang Chunfen had just started to speak when Cao Fengqi cut her off coldly.

"Hey, you... Sister Chunying, say something."

Wei Chunchun looked at the scene and spoke to her.

Liu Chunying, who had been sitting there silently, raised her head and looked at them indifferently. "I don't make the decisions in this family."

Zhang Chunfen looked at her daughter and opened her mouth, but Liu Fengshan tugged at her.

He really couldn't bear the shame of staying any longer.

"We'll leave these things here. Go ahead and eat. We'll come see the children again when we have time."

He spoke up.

"Take them away. Our Cao family doesn't need them."

"It's just a little something from us, just a little something."

Liu Fengshan forced a smile and motioned for his wife and son to put the things on the floor. Then the family left silently.

"You didn't bring us coal in the snow. Who needs flowers added to brocade?"

Cao Jiancheng watched them leave and spoke coldly.

"They're not adding flowers to brocade. They've seen us rising and want to keep taking from us."

Cao Fengqi spoke with disdain. Looking at Dabao and Xiaobao, he instructed them, "You two little ones shouldn't acknowledge such heartless grandparents."

"Okay, Uncle. Last time Mom took us to Grandma's house, they wouldn't give me any of the meat they cooked."

Dabao nodded immediately, still upset about not getting any meat.

Uncle was better. He would be even better if he didn't scare him.

But if there was meat to eat, it was okay for Uncle to scare him.

"Hehe!"

Cao Fengqi smiled and looked at him. "Good boy. From now on, Uncle will let you eat meat every day."

Liu Chunying smiled faintly. She didn't mind in the least that her brother-in-law was "instigating" her son and daughter to ignore her parents.

"Cao Fengqi, get the hell out here!"

Just then, a shout suddenly came from outside.
