209 One Meal Or Two

“Mom also likes listening to your talks, Third Aunt-in-law. What about getting her here to listen to your story too?”

Ms. Ma had no idea how much Qiao Xuan had heard, and her face changed.

But she did not admit that she had talked badly about them, so she forced a smile. “Your mom is busy today, there is no need to fetch her here!”

“It is fine!” Qiao Xuan smiled. “Mom can arrange everything well, neatly and properly. My Elder Sister-in-law is capable too, and she helps our mother relieve a lot of burden. Mom is not at all busy!”

The relatives were very afraid of Ms. Fang, but they did not seem to be scared about the young Qiao Xuan.

Someone said half-jokingly, “It seems that your Elder Sister-in-law is very tired with a lot of work, why not help her? Wouldn’t she protest against you for not being able to help her?”

Everyone laughed.

“True, wouldn’t she feel annoyed?”

Qiao Xuan smiled. “Elder Sister-in-law is very capable, of course she won’t say any such thing. I have just bought dozens of mu of land, and planted many things. But I don’t have any knowledge about how to plant those things, so I hired Elder Brother, Elder Sister-in-law, and Third Brother to help me, paying them 30 yen a day! We will be planting some more mushrooms soon, and they will have to help me again…”

“What?”

“30 wen? That is too much!”

The relatives’ eyes widened. They suddenly realized why Ms. Xu had no opinion against Qiao Xuan’s behavior.

The couple could earn 60 yen a day, which even though did not come every single day, but Qiao Xuan’s land needed to be taken care of on a regular basis, and every time she required help, she paid them.

Moreover, they were not living separately yet, so what she harvested from the land would also be shared.

Oh man, she was so rich! With so much money coming to them, they would definitely ignore small things like dish was.h.i.+ng or floor sweeping.

All the relatives became so jealous and motivated that they started to treat Qiao Xuan nicely.

Qiao Xuan smiled as she talked about how excellent Ms. Fang and Ms. Xu were…

Ms. Ma’s face turned pale while she stood next to them.

Qiao Xuan sneered inwardly. But for Third Brother’s wedding that took place today, she was definitely going to pa.s.s on this message to her mother-in-law who would again teach Ms. Ma a lesson.

She needed to be disciplined many times until she finally understood what she ought to do and what not.

She would eventually understand, after she was taught the lesson enough times.

Soon the reception team arrived, and the atmosphere became lively. They cheered, laughed and played around. It was a cheerful scene.

The couple went through the process and the kitchen got busy again.

The scent that came from the dishes caused people to drool.

Everyone got very excited and looked forward to the wild boar meat at the banquet.

There were eight dishes being served at the wedding banquet. Normally, only two meat dishes were served due to the poverty.

But today, the dishes were more than good.

The dishes included roasted chicken with mushrooms, stewed meat with dried beans, fried wild boar with green pepper and garlic sprouts, roasted tofu, yam fungus, fried bean and eggplant with minced meat, tofu and cabbage soup, which was boiled with wild boar bones and trotters for a long time, so a large pot of broth was produced. There was a bowl of eight-treasure rice too.

Qiao Xuan had thought about serving a dish of braised fish, but Ms. Fang did not think that the chief cook would be able to do the dish. Moreover, the dish required too much oil and a bone might get stuck in some child’s throat, making it troublesome. Therefore, they gave up the idea.
