117 Jealous

After doing business for so many years, Manager He had learned a principle: never overestimate a person’s kindness.

Don’t think that just because those n.o.bles were famous for their philanthropy, they could really support the s.h.i.+p.

Sometimes, the more well-regarded such people were, the more they would not allow their subordinates to make mistakes.

Moreover, this was not an ordinary snack. Minister Qi had asked for it. Perhaps his mother liked it. Would it be fine if it was missing from the birthday banquet?

!!

Manager He asked, “How many days are left until the birthday banquet?”

The accountant said, “Three days.”

Manager He’s face darkened. “Why didn’t you say so earlier?”

If he had said so earlier, he would have endured the siblings for the time being!

The accountant thought to himself that this was something that he had instructed before the new year. The kitchen remembered it and would do it on the day. There was no need for Manager He to worry!

However, who would have thought that on his first day in office, he would offend the siblings who were supplying them?

Over the years, disregarding whether Manager Sun’s methods were honorable or not, his management was well done, and the entire Jin Ji was well managed.

It was purely Manager He’s fault.

Manager He asked with a headache, “How many of the salted egg yolks are left?”

The accountant braced himself and said, “There’s not a single one left.”

Manager He said coldly, “Didn’t they just provide the goods?”

The accountant said helplessly, “They supplied a hundred and we finished it long ago! The chefs tried two and sold the rest yesterday. There were guests today who came to ask why the egg yolk pastry was gone.”

Manager He was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table!

….

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know that her sanction, which she thought wouldn’t create a dent, had coincidentally pressed down on Jin Ji’s throat.

She was counting her things in the small basket.

She patted her forehead. “I forgot to send the red dates and silver ear fungus I brought back from Aunt Fu yesterday to Su Yuniang!”

“Dad! Ergou! Dahu, Erhu, Xiaohu! I’m going out for a while!”

In the central room, Wei Ting, the only one who was not addressed, had a dark expression.

It was especially lively at the Su family today. The Zheng family of Shallow Water Village had come. It was Su Yuniang’s husband, Zheng Yuanbo, and her eldest sister-in-law, Zheng Lanxiu.

There were more or less some rumors in the village about Su Yuniang giving birth to a child in her maiden family for the new year. Because villagers remembered the Su family’s past kindness, they did not go overboard in their gossip, but no one knew what they were thinking.

The Su family’s door was open, and Su Xiaoxiao walked in.

The central room was empty, and there was no one there. However, the conversation kept coming from Su Yuniang’s room.

“…Yu Niang, your child has been born. The New Year is over. It’s time to go back.”

Su Xiaoxiao had some impression of this voice. It should be from Su Yuniang’s eldest sister-in-law, Zheng Lanxiu.

“You’ve been away from home for a while and Brother Xing misses you badly, right, Brother Xing?”

“Ah, yes, yes! Yu Niang, come back with me!”

“If you want me to go back with you, get rid of that b.i.t.c.h first!”

b.i.t.c.h?

She seemed to have heard something extraordinary.

Su Xiaoxiao continued to p.r.i.c.k up her ears.

It would be a waste not to listen to the gossip that she had chanced upon!

Zheng Lanxiu said earnestly, “Yuniang, listen to Eldest Sister’s truth. Brother Xing doesn’t have anyone else in his heart. He took her in because he saw that she was pitiful. Who would have thought that she would seduce Brother Xing… Brother Xing was confused for a moment and regretted it after that. Brother Xing wanted to send her away, but she became pregnant… The two elders at home didn’t agree, so he kept her for the time being.”

“But don’t worry, Brother Xing is sincere with you. You’re Brother Xing’s legitimate wife. No one can surpa.s.s you! When the child is born in the future, it will be under your name and she will be sent away immediately!”

Su Yuniang said agitatedly, “Let her go now! Also, I don’t want her child! Tell them to get lost!”

After that, Zheng Lanxiu patiently persuaded her a few more times. Su Yuniang didn’t listen to a word and only said, “Get that woman out of the Zheng family with the b.a.s.t.a.r.d in her belly!”

Zheng Lanxiu was finally forced into a corner. She revealed her true colors and said bitterly, “You can’t give birth to a son yourself, so you can’t let others do it? Do you want to cut off our Zheng family’s bloodline? You only got pregnant after being married for three years. What did I think you could give birth to? It’s still a… ”

Before she could finish, Su Xiaoxiao heard her scream.

In the next second, Zheng Lanxiu covered the b.u.mp on her forehead and ran out in a sorry state.

“Su Yuniang! Just stay at your maiden home! Let’s see how long you can stay! Brother Xing! Let’s go!”

Zheng Lanxiu grabbed her brother’s hand and scolded as she walked, “Why did you marry such an unreasonable shrew back then!”

The two of them brushed past Su Xiaoxiao.

Brother Xing lowered his head and looked like a good-for-nothing. Zheng Lanxiu glanced at Su Xiaoxiao. In her anger, she ignored everyone and left without looking back!

“Hey! Lanxiu!”

Madam Fang chased after her.

“Do not chase after them!”

Su Yuniang said angrily.

“You!” Madam Fang glared at her daughter and turned around to see Su Xiaoxiao in the central room.

Mdm Fang was stunned, and a trace of panic flashed across her eyes. However, she looked at Zheng Lanxiu, who was sitting in the ox cart, and ignored Su Xiaoxiao as she chased after her in-laws.

When Su Xiaoxiao entered the room, Su Yuniang was covering her face and crying bitterly.

...

Hearing someone enter, Su Yuniang immediately took a deep breath and let go, pretending that she had never cried.

She looked up and saw Su Xiaoxiao. She was shocked and seemed to have other emotions.

“Why are you here?” She wiped her tears and asked coldly.

Su Xiaoxiao thought for a moment and tilted her head. “Seeing you make a fool of yourself?”

Su Yuniang glared at Su Xiaoxiao.

Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands. “You wouldn’t believe me if I said I wasn’t.”

She walked forward and handed her a small basket.

“What?” Su Yuniang’s tone was normal, but her voice was still choked.

“Dried red dates and dried silver ear fungus to nourish blood and qi. Also.” Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her. “You haven’t gone to the toilet for a few days, right?”

Su Yuniang choked.

Constipation after giving birth was one of the most common postpartum conditions, and the silver ear fungus was rich in dietary fiber and promoted intestinal peristalsis.

...

“If eating silver ear fungus isn’t enough, try this plum.” Su Xiaoxiao handed her a jar of sweet plums.

This kind of plum was similar to the prune she had eaten in her previous life. The effect and taste were similar. It was a specialty of the Great Zhou.

Well… Aunt Fu really had a lot of good stuff!

Su Xiaoxiao tapped the jar with her fingertip. “A friendly reminder not to trust any of your farts.”

Su Yuniang and Madam Fang were stunned.

Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand. “I’m leaving. I still have to send some to Sister Chunxiu.”

Su Yuniang looked at her. “Why did you send it to me first?”

Su Xiaoxiao said, “Your house is close! My house is at the end of the village, and the Li family lives at the entrance. Your Su family is in the middle. If I don’t send it to you on the way, wouldn’t I have to make a big detour? Wouldn’t it be tiring!”

Su Yuniang said, “Aren’t you trying to slim down?”

Su Xiaoxiao caved in. She said with a fake smile, “I care about you, Su Yuniang. In my heart, you are more important than Sister Chunxiu, okay?”

Su Yuniang sneered and said, “I thought you didn’t want to return my money.”

Su Xiaoxiao’s eyes darted around. “Uh… can I not return it?”
