Qin Huiyin transmigrated into a book. Her mother was a pretty widow who married three times, a 'flower' of the village. When her mother married for the second time, Qin Huiyin gained a vill...
Chapter 155: The Head of the House
Qin Huiyin rushed to the old house and saw several simple stoves set up near the well. Several large pots were filled with crabs. The rich aroma spread in the air, which made the craftsmen lose their mind to work.
When the craftsmen were taking a break, they all stretched their necks to look over here.
Tang Cheng patted a young man on the shoulder and said unhappily, "What are you looking at? Do you believe I will dig out your eyes?"
"Hehe, I don't believe that Brother Cheng would do such a cruel thing." The young man smiled. "Brother Cheng, what is the boss cooking? It smells so good."
"Man-crushing bugs." Tang Cheng said truthfully, "Aren't these things everywhere? If you're hungry, go find a river and catch a few and cook them up."
Tang Luwu was the first to notice Qin Huiyin and shouted happily, "Yinyin is back."
Li Taohua was stirring the crabs in the pot. When she heard Tang Lvwu's words, she looked up and was accidentally smoked by the smoke. She rubbed her eyes and said, "Girl, are you hungry? Mother left some food for you."
Qin Huiyin came over, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and said, "We ate big meat buns in the city, so we're not hungry."
The crab-craving young man stared at Li Taohua intently. Li Taohua had a slender and graceful figure, with everything she should have and everything she shouldn't have. Her hair was as smooth as silk, and her skin was as tender as a peeled egg. Such a beauty would be the best in the county town, let alone in the countryside. No wonder these young men were so fascinated that they couldn't walk.
"If you're tired of living, brother will give you a ride?" Tang Cheng came over and said sinisterly in the young man's ear.
The young man shuddered and said awkwardly: "Brother Cheng, I don't mean anything else, it's just that the boss is so good-looking."
"Who doesn't know that Aunt Taohua is pretty? However, you have been working here for a few days, and you like to wander around the village during your breaks, so you must have heard of her reputation, right?"
The young man shuddered, and the romantic fantasies in his heart completely disappeared.
Qin Huiyin came over.
Seeing this, Tang Cheng hurried over and said, "Sister Huiyin, take a look and see if there is anything that needs improvement."
Seeing that Tang Cheng was more attentive to Qin Huiyin than Li Taohua, the young man asked the old craftsman next to him: "Master, Brother Cheng is too servile. What can that little girl understand?"
"The design you saw was drawn by that little girl. What do you think she knows?" The old craftsman said as he measured the data. "That little girl is also the head of this family. Do you think she is important?"
The young man looked at Qin Huiyin's figure in surprise.
You wouldn't know until you see her. You will find that she is really not an ordinary girl.
When she spoke, Tang Cheng looked serious and listened very carefully, obviously attaching great importance to her opinion.
Tang Luwu and Li Taohua supervised the making of today's sauce, and the others worked together to make it. Qin Huiyin tasted it and it was exactly the same as what she had made. From now on, these things can be left to them.
Zhou came in, took Li Taohua's hand and said, "Sister Taohua, come to my house for dinner tonight. I want to thank you very much."
"I heard from my daughter that the deal has been concluded and the deposit has been paid. Congratulations!" Li Taohua smiled. "Okay, I won't be polite with you. I'll come and help you when I'm done with my work."
"No, no, I can do it myself." Zhou said quickly, "You've been tired all day. If you come to help me, won't you be even more tired?"
Xiang Chuntao congratulated him, "Aunt Zhou, congratulations, you finally got your wish. But I want to warn you, be careful of your mother-in-law. She was acting weird the past two days, but I think she has come to her senses today and realized that her beloved Jin Bao is unreliable. She may come back to make trouble for you again."
Zhou's face turned pale: "No way?"
"Why can't she do this?" Li Taohua said unhappily, "How can an old woman like her live on her own without relying on her son? Zhang Lei is unreliable, so I have no choice but to turn to you."
Zhou left in a daze.
Li Taohua shook her head: "It's really useless."
Wang Juying said sympathetically: "Aunt Zhou is so pitiful."
"Pathetic ass." Xiang Chuntao knocked Wang Juying on the head. "I've told you so many times, if you don't become strong, no one can help you."
Zhang Dazhu used a bullock cart to pick up a mother and son. The mother and son did not have much luggage, just a small bag each, and they got off the cart with it.
The woman was about the same age as Zhou, but her hair was even whiter than Zhou's. Although she was wearing patched clothes, her hair was combed meticulously, and she was obviously a neat and tidy person.
The young man was younger than Zhang Dazhu and Zhang Erzhu, with clear features and bright eyes. When he saw Zhou, he bowed very carefully, which made Zhou's eyes red.
"Rong'er looks more and more like his father," said Zhou.
Pang Shi looked at the young man in front of her, her eyes full of sadness: "Yes, this child not only looks like his father, but also has the same personality. Sister, I heard from Dazhu that thank you for still thinking about us. We don't know if we can help with this. If we can't help..."
"Sister-in-law, Rong'er is the most promising child in our family, so of course she can help. I know what you are worried about. You and I were good sisters before we got married. We have each had our own difficulties over the years and have not interacted much. Do you want to be distant with me? Come in quickly, don't stand at the door."
The next door was bustling, and Qin Huiyin's side was also bustling. After finishing the day's work, Qin Huiyin took Tang Luwu and Tang Yixiao to find Tang Sanye, but heard from the neighbors that he went fishing with his old friends.
"I put out a few fish baskets today, so I'll go see if there are any fish coming to my door." Tang Yi said with a smile.
The three sisters went to the river and heard from a distance that Master Tang San was arguing with a skinny old man.
"You old man, I've told you many times not to put fish into my fish basket. I'm not old and my eyes are not blurry yet, so you don't need to pity me." said the skinny old man.
"I also said that I didn't notice and put it in the wrong place. Do you think I put it in your fish basket for fun? I pity you, but who pity me? How can I, an old lonely man with no children, pity you who has children?"
"Third Grandpa..." Qin Huiyin called sweetly, "We have been looking for you for a long time, why are you here?"
Master Tang San turned around and saw the three of them. He said with a smile, "I didn't have anything to do today, so I went fishing with this bad-tempered old man to relieve my boredom. I didn't expect that this old man was so stingy."
"Grandpa Song." Qin Huiyin and others greeted the old man next to them.
Old Man Song nodded and put away his fishing rod: "I'm going back too."
Third Master Tang looked at Old Man Song and sighed, "This old man is really confused! His son is useless and his daughter-in-law is fierce. When he was young, he made so much money but he didn't keep it for himself. He gave it away early. Now, he is despised and useless when he is old. Now he has to be scolded by his daughter-in-law even when he eats."
