Chapter 123: Chapter 124 Nice Skills_1
Early the next morning, Er Ya brought Qiao Duo’er’s quilt cover.
"Auntie Fourth, I noticed that your quilt cover had a hole in it, so I took it and had my eldest sister patch it for you. I just forgot to give it to you last night," said Er Ya with embarrassment.
As Qiao Duo’er received the quilt cover, she saw that the torn spot had been mended.
"You all are so capable, thank you!"
Er Ya replied shyly, "It’s nothing, Auntie Fourth. I’ll head back now, and I’ll come to work in a bit!"
After saying this, Er Ya left, leaving Qiao Duo’er alone, pondering the events of the previous night.
Heh, last night Tan Zhenghong was so well behaved!
As morning advanced, and Qiao Duo’er and the others had already been bustling about, the Li Clan finally got up, moving lazily.
The previous day, by the time she wearily made it home, it was nearly midnight, as she had walked too far and even started spotting on the way back.
She was still dreadfully tired now, and she truly didn’t want to get up, but who else would do the work if not her?
Alas, she somewhat regretted falling out with her mother.
Seeing the Li Clan rise, Tan Zhongzhong nervously spoke up, "Wife, don’t get up. The child is what’s important."
"What child can you have without money!" the Li Clan retorted irritably.
Tan Zhongzhong muttered, There was enough silver coin in the house to spend, and they had several mu of land; there would definitely be no problem providing for the family.
But to his wife, it seemed as if they were about to be unable to make ends meet any day now!
Always talking like this just needlessly irritates people.
It made him have to head to the Yue Family early this morning to pick up Third Girl and also move some items back home, not to mention he still had to go to town to buy meat.
But Tan Zhongzhong dared not voice these thoughts aloud, his wife was carrying a child after all.
The Li Clan found a mask to cover her nose and mouth, then laboriously sat on a small stool and began washing pig intestines.
Without those intestines, her business would always be inferior to Qiao Duo’er’s.
Even if they used the exact same brine and meat, why should she earn less than Qiao Duo’er?
Seeing the Li Clan busy at work, Little Wang Clan couldn’t help but say sarcastically, "My, my, sister-in-law, you have quite the skill, it tastes just like the ones made by the Fourth Boss’s House. I think once you make it, you should also send some to father and mother to try."
She knew that the recipe had been stolen from the Fourth Boss’s House, so her words were laden with veiled threats.
What she didn’t know was that they had already been secretly competing for a few days.
"Are these for father and mother to eat, or for you and your son?"
Xiao Fu, who had grown into such a fool, was only treasured like a precious gem by those idiots in the Main Room. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
Little Wang Clan said with a mocking tone, "Our parents are really pitiable. All of you, one by one, are so unfilial. What will become of them in the future?"
"When we divided up the household, didn’t our parents say that you would take care of them in their old age, without us having to worry? Second sister-in-law, has your memory grown so poor now?"
"You can’t just say things like that. Third Boss is also a child our parents bore."
Little Wang Clan hurriedly interjected, for she was simply fed up with living with those two old things and wanted to push them off on someone else.
The Li Clan, dropping all pretenses along with her mask, retorted mockingly, "You’re just looking to take advantage at every turn. Fourth Boss’s leg has just been broken, and I am about to give birth, yet you instigated the division of the household. Having reaped all the benefits from the division, now you refuse to support our parents? Keep being so unreasonable, and I’ll have to bring this up to the village chief!"
These were all truthful words, but it was inappropriate to blurt them out so bluntly.
Little Wang Clan’s face turned red and then white from the rebuke.
The Li Clan was fierce, and each time they argued, Little Wang Clan never gained the upper hand, and this time was no exception.
Defeated, Little Wang Clan skulked away, silently cursing to herself.
It was just a brine recipe, after all.
Give her a few days, and she was sure she could get her hands on the formula!
