"Second Aunt, you're not right. I put a lot of effort into making vegetarian dishes taste like meat, and it's not cheaper than meat," said Xie Yunjiao.
Mrs. Lian was shocked when she heard this: "You said you could cook it if you like. I don't think we have a lot of money, so it's more cost-effective to eat meat."
Xie Yunjiao smiled and said, "That's indeed the truth."
Mrs. Lian Er thought to herself, could it be that Xie Yunjiao knew what she was thinking and said that on purpose?
At night, she secretly came to the kitchen alone, hoping to find something in it, but found that everything in the kitchen had been put away, and it was clean and empty.
"Second Madam, what are you doing?"
Seeing that it was a servant, Second Wife's heart finally settled down: "No, I just passed by and saw a big rat and followed it. I was afraid that the rat would steal the good things in our kitchen."
"Don't worry, the good stuff is locked up, nothing will happen." said the servant.
Even the Second Wife praised him so much that her face was long when she came out.
Everything is locked up, so she should bring something back from her parents' home tomorrow.
She used all her money to pay off Lian Er's debt.
"Second Madam, the old lady is looking for you."
Mrs. Lian Er went to Mrs. Lian's room and found that Xie Yunjiao was also there, helping Mrs. Lian choose things.
When Mrs. Lian Er saw the delicacies on the table, her eyes lit up.
Wow, this place must be worth a lot of money.
"These were given to me by Yunjiao. I think we can't finish them and they will be wasted, so I asked you to come over and take some back to my parents' home." said Old Lady Lian.
Mrs. Lian Er couldn't help but feel happy. She accepted it happily and said thank you several times in a row.
Of course, she did not forget to thank Xie Yunjiao.
After Xie Yunjiao and Second Madam Lian had left, Nanny Jin said, "Old Madam, if it weren't for Young Madam's reminder, we would have forgotten to prepare something for Second Madam to take back to her parents' home."
A glint of satisfaction flashed across the old lady's eyes: "This Yun Jiao is indeed good."
Mrs. Lian Er and her family set out to return to her parents' home on the second day of the New Year, but Mrs. Lian did not go back because she was only three years old when her parents sold her to Lian Qi's mother's family, and she had long forgotten who her parents were.
She didn't want to look for one anymore, so she adopted two pine trees at home as her parents. Every second day of the Chinese New Year, she would go under the pine trees to weed and loosen the soil.
When she went there that day, she found Doudou and Lian Jin were just leaving here in a hurry. When they saw her, they just said hello and left, as if they had done something bad.
Mrs. Lian didn't think too much about it, but when she came under the pine tree, she almost fainted.
The roots of her "fathers and mothers" have been dug out and are crumbling!
It must be the work of those two brats.
I won't offend anyone unless they offend me, but if someone offends me, I will fight back!
Mrs. Lian called the housekeeper Lian and asked him to catch the men for her. She wanted those two boys to apologize to her "parents"!
When housekeeper Lian arrived at Gu Huai's yard, Xie Yunjiao, Lian Jin and others were just about to go out.
"Young Madam, Madam asked me to invite the two young masters to visit her." said Butler Lian.
Xie Yunjiao looked at the two of them in confusion. A glimmer of light flashed in their eyes, and they didn't dare to look at Xie Yunjiao at all.
"Tell me the truth, both of you. What happened?" Xie Yunjiao said to them.
Xie Yunjiao did not ask whether they had done anything wrong, but first asked what had happened, because she knew that Mrs. Lian would not look for them for no reason.
"Mom, it's okay." Doudou lowered his head and didn't dare to look directly at Xie Yunjiao.
"Lian Jin, you speak." Xie Yunjiao looked at Lian Jin again.
Lian Jin was a very well behaved child, and he couldn't resist a single glance from Xie Yunjiao.
Even though Doudou kept winking at him, he still said honestly: "It's all my fault. It has nothing to do with Doudou. If mother wants to punish me, please punish me."
Xie Yunjiao was so angry at these two people that she laughed: "I don't even know what happened yet, what do you want me to punish you for?
Also, if you are all wrong, I won't punish only one person.
Mother likes children who tell the truth."
"It's my fault. I let Xiao Xiaobao out and he ran away immediately." Doudou raised his head, his eyes already filled with tears. "It's my fault. I didn't keep an eye on him."
Lian Jin said hurriedly, "I asked Doudou to let Xiao Xiaobao out. He was scared by the firecrackers for the past two days and has been hiding in the cage. I wanted him to go out for a walk so I asked Doudou to let him out."
So, their intentions were good, but...
Xie Yunjiao looked around but couldn't find Xiao Xiaobao. He was not in the cage.
"Where is Xiao Xiaobao?" Xie Yunjiao thought that the little pig was timid and stayed inside.
The result is long gone!
"Haven't found it yet." Doudou said.
"You haven't found it yet. Why didn't you tell me and promised me that you would go out together?" Xie Yunjiao's tone became heavier.
"Maybe he knows he made a mistake, but he's afraid to face it," Mrs. Lian sneered, her face fierce. "You always say how well you've raised your children, and you even ask us adults to apologize to them when we do something wrong.
I thought you taught them really well, but it turns out you're just like this."
"Aunt Qiao, although I haven't figured out what happened, I believe the two children definitely didn't do it on purpose. If they really did something wrong, I will ask them to apologize to you."
"Is just an apology enough to get away with it?" Mrs. Lian sneered, a fierce glint in her eyes. "I'll make them kneel in front of my parents until I'm satisfied!"
"Okay, if they really did something wrong, I will take them to kneel together." Xie Yunjiao said.
"Okay, no need to waste time talking nonsense. I saw it with my own eyes. Just go and kneel down." Mrs. Lian said.
"No, we just let the pigs out. We didn't touch your tree," said Doudou.
Lian Jin also nodded: "That's right, we haven't done it before."
"You still dare to be stubborn? If you weren't guilty, why did you run away in a hurry when you saw me?" Mrs. Lian said.
"It's not a big deal. It's just two trees. Is it necessary to make the children kneel as punishment?" Old lady Lian rushed over.
"Old Madam, you know, those two trees are my parents, my lifeblood. Now someone is disrespecting them, so let them apologize to them, right?"
"Did you really do it?" Old lady Lian looked at the two children.
"No, we just released the pigs and didn't touch Grandma Qiao's trees." Lian Jin said.
"Yeah, we didn't know anything. When we got there, we found that her pine tree was about to fall." Doudou said.
"It's either you or the animals you raised. I heard that pigs love digging holes the most!" said Mrs. Lian.
"If you refuse to admit your mistakes and kowtow, then kill that beast."
