"Ha, then you're too lucky! You can't finish so many fish. I as the aunt can bring some and let your grandmother taste it."

Ms. Lin said as she went to fetch the biggest fish in the water tank.

Su Ning quickly intervened. "Aunt, you can't touch these fish. My third sister-in-law wants to take them back to her family!"

She was correct. Ms. Lin raised her voice in excitement. "She can only bring two back, but there are so many more in the water tank!"

Su Ning grew anxious. "You have to ask my third sister-in-law first. She caught these fish!"

Ms. Lin expressed her displeasure. "Do you really need to ask? It's not for me, it's for your grandmother. As a younger generation, you should show filial piety to your elders, understand?"

Su Cheng exposed Ms. Lin's falsehood. "You're lying. grandmother is visually impaired, and you stopped giving her fish a long time ago. You claimed that you were afraid she would choke on the bones!"

Ms. Lin's face darkened. "Your grandmother can't eat the fish, but she can have fish soup!"

"I brought these fish back to make soup."

Qin Zhenzhen couldn't bear to listen any longer. She emerged from the room with her bag.

She would never give the fish to Ms. Lin.

Even if she had to release the fish back into the river, she wouldn't hand them over to Ms. Lin!

Standing in front of Ms. Lin, Qin Zhenzhen spoke firmly:

"There's no need to take the fish back, and there's no need for you to go through the trouble of cooking the fish. Su Ning and the others are planning to make fish soup tonight. When the time comes, just pack a bowl for their grandmother."

Su Ning immediately chimed in, "Exactly! I'll bring a bowl of fish soup to grandmother. I'll even remove the fish bones and add the meat. You don't need to trouble yourself, Aunt."

Ms. Lin grew infuriated. "Qin Zhenzhen, with so many fish, why can't you take one to show filial piety to your grandmother? Let us judge her. Is she being insensitive? She's not even respecting her elders, yet she wants to take all the fish home!"

"Have you forgotten that you're already part of the Su family as a daughter-in-law?"

Onlookers had gathered at the courtyard entrance, observing the commotion.

Qin Zhenzhen responded with amusement, "How are we not showing filial piety to our elders? Su Ning just said she will prepare a bowl of fish soup for grandmother, with the bones removed and the fish meat added. I guarantee it will be served to you better than anything you could do."

"You're the one being insensitive, aren't you? You're the one who wants to satisfy your meat cravings but is using grandmother as an excuse!"

"I'll go back to my parents' house and bring two fish. Su Ning and the others will only cook two tonight, but the rest of the fish won't be given to you for nothing!"

"Do you really think you can exchange five measly corns for fish? Dream on!"

The villagers who had gathered burst into laughter at the scene.

Ms. Lin burst into laughter, her face turning red.

"I'm still your elder! Even if I didn't bring corn, it's not too much to ask for a fish from you!"

Qin Zhenzhen mocked her. "Since the moment you mistreated Su Cheng and tried to remove his pants, you ceased to be our elder. You're not worthy!"

Ms. Lin sneered. "Whether I am your elder or not is not for you to decide!"

Su Ning and Su Cheng stood boldly beside Qin Zhenzhen.

"Our third sister-in-law is right! You're not deserving of being our elder!"

"Everyone witnessed what happened this morning. Let them be the judge. How can you call yourself an elder!"

The surrounding villagers laughed once more.

Ms. Lin pointed at Qin Zhenzhen in anger and scolded, "You ungrateful woman!"

Qin Zhenzhen found it amusing. "What have you ever done for me?"

Ms. Lin raised her voice. "If it weren't for me giving you the idea, would you have been able to marry Su Bin?"

Qin Zhenzhen, with the memories of the original host, vividly recalled that Ms. Lin had encouraged the original host to strike Su Bin's face and had aided her in the process.
