Chapter 17 The Upper Beam is Not Straight and the Lower Beam is Crooked



Xie Yunjiao was very happy, "Thank you."

She didn't expect there would be such a good thing. She has always liked pig offal. Although it tastes strong, it is very delicious as long as you know how to fry it.

Her mouth started watering at the thought of stir-fried pig intestines.

The stall owner packed the meat and offal for her.

Xie Yunjiao took it with a smile, feeling that she had gotten a great deal today.

Afterwards, she bought some vegetable seeds and planned to plant some vegetables in the backyard.

I also bought some ingredients. Cooking without ingredients has no soul and it always feels like something is missing.

Finally, she went to the cloth shop and cut some coarse cloth, linen and the like, intending to make two sets of clothes for them and their son. Seeing Doudou wearing tattered clothes, she felt very sad.

Now that I've made some money, I'll arrange it right away.

I have almost spent all the money I earned today.

When she went back, she still took a ox cart.

Seeing this, the people traveling with him were stunned.

The second son of the Gu family's wife really doesn't know how to live. She bought so many things at the market in one go. I guess the little money they had from the family division must have been squandered!

Everyone looked at her with some disdain, thinking that she was not a woman who knew how to live.

They probably felt very sympathetic towards Gu Huai. After all, marrying a woman like her was the beginning of the family's downfall.

But Xie Yunjiao didn't care about them. It was not their place to talk about her family affairs.

When she returned, Doudou was already waiting for her at the village entrance.

Xie Yunjiao brought the things back and was so tired that she couldn't even straighten her back.

Life was really inconvenient in ancient times, as everything had to be done manually.

Gu Huai's eyes lit up when he saw her come back, "How was your day?"

In fact, he didn't have high hopes. After all, it was not easy for a woman to make a living.

Xie Yunjiao smiled mysteriously, then said, "They're all sold out, and they're quite popular. I plan to speculate on more this time and sell them."

She is very confident now. With so many people at the market, there will always be people who like to try new things. At least she can sell it for a while.

Gu Huai was also very happy, at least this was a way to make money.

"Well, I bought a lot of delicious food and I'll cook it for you now." Xie Yunjiao took out the meat, pork offal, and other ingredients.

She was a little greedy.

Doudou was very happy at the side, "Mom, what delicious food did you buy?"

"You'll know soon." Xie Yunjiao kept it a secret and began to wash the meat in her hands.

She planned to make them stir-fried pork belly with cabbage and stir-fried pig intestines.

First, she washed and cut the pork belly, then put a little oil in the pot, poured the meat in, and started stir-frying. After the oil came out, she poured in the cabbage. After it was cooked, she added two dried chilies, and the aroma came in waves.

Pig offal is more troublesome to prepare. She took some flour and kneaded it for a long time, then rubbed it with salt. When she saw that it was very clean, she put it in the pot to cook, added some scallion segments to remove the fishy smell, and after cooking for a while, she took it out and cut it.

Put oil in the pan and stir-fry over high heat, then add the ingredients and finally add some chopped green onions to garnish and enhance the flavor. Serve on a plate. It is really delicious!

Because this dish looks very appetizing, Xie Yunjiao cooked white rice today. Each grain was distinct and fragrant.

After Xie Yunjiao served the food, Gu Huai and Dou Dou also came over and were stunned when they saw it.

When they were in the Gu family, they didn't have such good food even during the Chinese New Year. They usually ate brown rice and were never full all year round, let alone white rice.

Even rich people don’t dare to eat it like this.

Xie Yunjiao knew what they were thinking, but she felt that she had to reward them no matter what and not treat herself badly.

"Let's eat!" Xie Yunjiao said with a smile.

Doudou couldn't believe it, they could eat white rice.

He held the bowl and ate bit by bit, feeling reluctant to finish it.

The rice is fragrant, and each grain is crystal clear and very tempting.

Gu Huai's expression was also complicated, but he believed in Xie Yunjiao and believed that his life would definitely get better and better in the future.

Just as the family was enjoying their meal, a figure suddenly appeared in their sight.

Xie Yunjiao looked up and saw a chubby child standing not far away. He looked a little clumsy.

She thought about it carefully, but had no idea who this child was.

When Doudou saw the child, a hint of wariness immediately appeared in his eyes, and he almost subconsciously said, "Zhuangzhuang, what are you doing here?"

Zhuangzhuang?

Isn’t he Liu Miaohua’s beloved son?

It’s obvious from this that her son is overnourished, and she probably leaves all the delicious food for her precious son.

Compared with Doudou's skinny body, the two are really worlds apart.

"I...I want to eat meat." Zhuangzhuang said, pointing at the meat in their bowls.

Zhuangzhuang was attracted by the aroma of the meat. He smelled it when he passed by just now. It was so fragrant. He never knew that meat could be fried so fragrant.

He wants to eat.

"This is the meat from my family, you can go home and eat your own." Doudou said firmly.

Now he has a father and a mother, and they are no longer afraid of him.

"Hmph, if you don't give me meat to eat, I will go back and tell my mother and grandma that you bullied me." Zhuangzhuang said proudly.

Whenever he said this in the past, Doudou was very scared and would compromise every time, so he thought he would do the same this time.

But he was wrong. Doudou snorted coldly and said, "Whatever."

Doudou is not afraid of Zhuangzhuang at all now.

Ever since he had a mother, he is now fearless.

Xie Yunjiao didn't say anything. She wanted to see what this little fat boy would do.

Who knew he would say such a thing?

snort!

It is true that if the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked. Like parents, like children.

This tutoring is really not good.

The fat boy got angry when he saw Doudou was so persistent. He rushed over and wanted to hit Doudou, but Xie Yunjiao approached and grabbed him. "What do you want to do?"

A fire instantly ignited in her eyes, and she would absolutely not allow anyone to bully Doudou.

The little fat boy probably had never suffered such injustice, and he started crying with a "wow".

Then he went towards his home while crying, probably to ask for help.

Xie Yunjiao glanced at Doudou, and her expression instantly became gentle. "Doudou, eat it while it's hot. You will grow up only if you are full."

Gu Huai had been watching it all, and was deeply shocked to see Xie Yunjiao protecting her chicks like a hen.

How could she develop such deep feelings for Doudou in such a short time?

And looking at her appearance, she is not hypocritical, but very real.

"Xie Yunjiao, are you going too far? You're even bullying children?" Just as the three of them sat down to eat, an angry voice came from outside the door.
