Chapter 43: The Shameless Matter
"You can't keep changing the same few sets of clothes, right?" The beautiful lady looked at her and said, "We still have a lot of fabrics at home. Although the styles are not the latest, at least they are new clothes. Yue'er can't let others look down on her when she goes out."
Xiao Jiuyue grabbed her hand and said, "Mother, as long as you have ability, people will respect you even if you wear coarse linen clothes. If you don't have ability, people will look down on you even if you wear gorgeous clothes. As long as the clothes are clean and fit, it's fine."
The beautiful woman paused as she lifted the cloth. She raised her eyes, tears welling in them: "Yuer."
"Mom." Xiao Jiuyue felt a headache when he saw his beautiful mother's tears. Her sparkling eyes were so pitiful that made people feel pity for her.
But, the beautiful mother loves to cry too much, and she can't stand it!
"Mom, although life isn't as good as it used to be, as long as we're together and safe as a family, we're all fine. One day, we'll be reunited with Dad, Grandpa, and Big Brother."
Xiao Jiuyue comforted her by wiping her tears with a handkerchief.
"Yes." The beautiful woman nodded, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and choked up, "Yuer, I know you've worked hard these days..."
"Mom, I suddenly feel a little sleepy. I'm going to sleep first. We'll talk about it tomorrow." Xiao Jiuyue knew what his beautiful mother wanted to say with his eyes closed. It was nothing more than that it was too hard for her to be in charge of the Xiao family and she had to earn money.
Apart from being a crybaby, Meiren Niang has a very good personality. Sometimes when she is too busy to handle all the big and small things in the mansion, Meiren Niang will help arrange them, accompany her grandmother, accompany Xiao Jiayuan, and find ways to make delicious food and clothes for her.
But, once the beautiful mother started crying, she really had no idea what to do. No matter how she comforted her, it was useless. She also didn't know how the original owner's father had comforted the beautiful mother in the past?
Xiao Jiuyue returned to her room, but naturally couldn't sleep. She was writing down the dishes. The main dishes she chose were: Nine-turn Large Intestine, Mapo Tofu, Winter Bamboo Shoots and Silverfish Soup, and Stir-fried Blood Duck!
These four dishes each have their own flavor, and are dishes that the original owner had never seen in his memory. The Nine-Turn Large Intestine has a good meaning, like taking the Nine-Turn Golden Pill. Mapo Tofu may look ordinary, but it has an exclusive secret recipe. The tofu made from it is guaranteed to be delicious even if you mix it with shoe soles.
The winter bamboo shoot and silverfish soup was delicious. She had seen that there were many bamboos and winter bamboo shoots in Fu'an Village, and now was the season for winter bamboo shoots.
For those who like stir-fried blood duck, even three days may not be enough.
She wrote down the recipes for these four dishes in detail and also wrote down the necessary ingredients. She plans to prepare the sauce for Mapo Tofu tomorrow.
There were two desserts left, so she picked out her favorite steamed buns. As long as the cooking method was authentic, the taste would definitely be great!
As for the remaining snacks...
Lian Xin was grinding the ink carefully. Seeing the worry in Xiao Jiuyue's eyes, she said, "Shall I bring some snacks?"
"Hmm." Xiao Jiuyue put down her pen, pinched her brows, took a sip of the tea, put down the cup and said, "The tea isn't strong enough."
"Miss, the tea is too strong. I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep well at night." Lianxin said worriedly.
"It's okay, tonight isn't peaceful." Xiao Jiuyue watched Lian Xin brew another pot of strong tea and sip it carefully. Although it couldn't replace coffee, it was better than nothing. She asked, "Lian Xin, do you like sweets?"
"I like it." Lian Xin nodded, pressed Xiao Jiuyue's shoulders, and said, "Miss, there are few girls who don't like sweet food, right?"
"Yes." Xiao Jiuyue agreed. Milk tea and various small desserts are always girls' favorites. However, whether it is milk tea or other small snacks, there are either restrictions on the preparation method or the ingredients.
"Miss, would you like any dessert?" Lianxin asked.
"The Tremella and Lotus Seed Soup is here." Luo Kui came in with the sweet soup and said, "Miss, are you hungry?"
"Look, this lotus seed soup I made today is so thick." Luo Kui handed over the sweet soup as if presenting a treasure, looking for praise.
Xiao Jiuyue stirred the white fungus and lotus seed soup in the bowl. She had to say that Luokui's skill in stewing the soup was excellent. In Luokui's expectant eyes, she tasted it and found it delicate and mellow in taste, full of sweetness but not at all greasy. The heat was controlled just right!
"How is it?" Luo Kui looked at Xiao Jiuyue eagerly.
Xiao Jiuyue stretched out her words, looking at Luo Kui's uneasy expression. She raised her hand and flicked her forehead, saying, "You and Lian Xin can share the rest. You don't have to take care of me here."
"Then, Miss, is it delicious?" Luo Kui asked.
Xiao Jiuyue lowered her head to drink the sweet soup. Lianxin pulled Luokui out and said, "You are silly. When will the young lady eat a second bite of something she doesn't like?"
Luo Kui grinned: "It seems so!"
Xiao Jiuyue listened to the two of them leaving and unknowingly finished a bowl of sweet soup. She had to say, it was good to have someone to serve her. Luo Kui and Lian Xin were her right-hand men. Sometimes she felt that these two girls knew her better than she did.
As the night deepened, Xiao Jiuyue gently spread out the restaurant expansion plan she had written and read it over and over again.
"Miss, there's a commotion in the ancestral hall!" Lianxin ran in hurriedly.
Xiao Jiuyue put the plan aside, and Lianxin continued, "When Xiao Song went to the ancestral hall, he happened to see it..."
Xiao Jiuyue raised an eyebrow. Seeing Lian Xin's hesitation, he immediately understood and said, "Did you just happen to catch Gan Li doing something shameful?"
"Yes." Lianxin nodded with a blushing face. When she heard the news just now, she heard that the two of them were seen naked by Xiao Song.
"You're still okay after being beaten like that?" Xiao Jiuyue saw it the day before yesterday. Gan Li's face was swollen like a pig's head. How could she bear to eat him?
Lian Xin cleared her throat and said, "I don't know. I just heard someone say so."
"Let's go." Xiao Jiuyue stood up and headed straight for the Xiao family ancestral hall. Before she even reached the hall, she heard Xiao Song's curses: "Whore, lowly, shameless!"
"I'll beat you to death!"
"No, I want to divorce you, I, I want to divorce you!"
Xiao Song clutched his chest in anger, his eyes red as he looked at Gan Li and Li Ping. How dare she have an affair with a servant? It was simply...
"Divorce! Do you have the guts to do it?" Gan Li was originally worried, but now that she'd been discovered, she decided to just throw it all out. "Xiao Song, you useless man! If I hadn't been attracted to your last name, do you think I would have married a useless man like you?"
"I was beaten like this by that bastard from the Xiao family, and you didn't even dare to fart!" Gan Li pointed at Xiao Song's nose and cursed, "Bah, what Xiao family? Didn't you get convicted and run back to this shabby village in disgrace?"
"When I get out of here, I'm going to make her pay!" Gan Li said gritting her teeth.
