Chapter 209: If One Meal Is Not Enough, Then Have Two Meals

"My mother also likes to chat with Third Aunt, why not call her over to listen as well?"

Ma didn't know how much Qiao Xuan had heard, and her face changed slightly when she heard it.

Qiao Xuan didn't mention it, so she naturally wouldn't take the initiative to admit it. She forced a smile and said, "Your mother is busy today, what are you asking her to do?"

"It's okay!" Qiao Xuan said with a smile, "My mother is good at making arrangements. She has arranged everything properly. Plus, my eldest sister-in-law is capable and has helped my mother share a lot of the burden. My mother is not busy at all!"

The relatives were somewhat wary of the Fang family, but seeing that Qiao Xuan was young, they were not so wary.

Someone immediately said half seriously and half jokingly: "So your sister-in-law is too tired? She won't mind if you don't help her!"

Everyone laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, is she okay with that?"

Qiao Xuan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law is capable, so why would you object? I bought dozens of acres of land and planted many things. I don't know how to do these things myself, so I hired my eldest brother, sister-in-law, and third brother to help me at a salary of 30 cents a day each! I will also plant some mushrooms in a while, so I will have to ask them for help too."

"What? How much?"

"Thirty cents! That's a lot!"

The relatives opened their eyes wide and understood why Xu had no objection.

The couple could earn 60 cents a day, although it was not every day, but Qiao Xuan bought dozens of acres of land, and she had to take care of it all year round, right? She had to pay for it, right?

Besides, they haven't split up yet, so everyone else can get some benefit from the harvest from this land, right?

Oh, with such a rich ancestor, who wouldn't worship her? Who would get angry with her and argue with her about trivial matters like who sweeps the floor and who washes the dishes?

All the relatives were extremely envious and were also somewhat tempted, so they all called Qiao Xuan over.

Qiao Xuan smiled and started the conversation. Without making any noise, she explained everything clearly and praised Fang and Xu.

Ma's face turned black.

Qiao Xuan sneered in her heart. If today wasn't a good day for her third brother's wedding and it wasn't appropriate to cause trouble, she would definitely run to her mother-in-law to complain and let her mother-in-law give Ma a severe beating again.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t learn your lesson. If one meal is not enough, then two or three meals will do.

There will always be a meal that she will remember.

Soon, the wedding procession returned, and the crowd immediately became excited, with sounds of joy, laughter, and children playing.

After the newlyweds paid homage to heaven and earth, the makeshift large kitchen began to get busy.

The aroma of meat and vegetables permeates the air, making people salivate.

Everyone knew that there would be wild boar meat at today's banquet, and they were all excited and waiting for the banquet to begin.

The wedding banquet usually consists of eight dishes, both meat and vegetables. As everyone's living conditions were not very good, having two meat dishes was considered the best.

The Qiao family’s dishes today are considered above average.

Roast chicken with mushrooms, stewed meat with dried beans, stir-fried wild boar meat with green peppers and garlic sprouts, roasted tofu, yam and black fungus, stir-fried beans and eggplant with minced meat, tofu and cabbage soup. This soup is not a clear soup, but a big pot of broth that has been simmered with wild boar bones and pig's trotters for half a day, and there is also a serving of eight-treasure rice.

Qiao Xuan originally thought that there were many fish in the river, so she might as well add a braised fish. But Fang said that the village chef didn't know how to cook fish, and it was too oily and had bones, which would be bad if the children were to eat too fast and get hurt, so she didn't cook it.
