Liu Cuihua awkwardly touched her nose, glared at Li Changgeng, and said, "What's it to you? Men always have so many trivial matters to worry about."
Although Li Changgeng didn't know what his foolish wife was thinking, judging from her expression, he couldn't help but sigh, "My mother and I are doing this for your own good."
"Okay, okay!" Liu Cuihua waved her hand casually, but something felt off. She couldn't quite put her finger on what it was...
Leaving aside Liu Cuihua's wild speculations and the village gossips' envy and jealousy, let's just say that Mo Qingcheng called Bai Yueniang and the children together and instructed them to treat the one-eyed dragon and the three Li Ergou brothers well.
It is a great virtue to admit one's mistakes and correct them; who hasn't made mistakes when they were young?
The children nodded in agreement, each with their own thoughts. "Mom (Aunt Mo) is really amazing. She found help so quickly!"
Led by Li Ergou and his two companions, the three one-eyed brothers went to reclaim wasteland. The lady of the house lived a very difficult life, supporting over a dozen people; food didn't fall from the sky or come from the wind.
The fat man wiped away tears as he cleared the land, holding a deep grudge against his young master. The three Li brothers sighed in sympathy, realizing that Lady Mo's family had a powerful background. Fortunately, they had realized their mistake back then, or they would have been dead long ago.
The three brothers took a deep breath. So what if they're crippled? Following Lady Mo means they'll get soup...
Mo Qingcheng and Bai Yueniang were busy with the children, making braised pig liver, pig skin jelly, and offal.
Making pork skin jelly is a bit troublesome, and the pork skin was just a free gift from Fang Yidao.
Mo Qingcheng had a sudden inspiration: she could make pork skin jelly and sell it to Zuixianlou as a cold appetizer with drinks—it would be quite good…
Hehe, this instructor is a real life expert.
Bai Yueniang admired her immensely, for following Sister Mo meant she would have meat to eat.
Bai Zimo transforms into an inquisitive little one, with a hundred thousand "whys" unable to satisfy his curiosity.
The Xuanyuan sisters were in charge of cooking pig's blood. They added a little bit to the stew, which wasn't very tasty, but it was nutritious.
We had already tried the offal yesterday, so the children weren't particularly curious. But the pork skin jelly was something new and caught their attention.
"Sister Mo, have you ever eaten pork skin jelly?" Bai Yueniang was skeptical, as this was the first time she had heard of it. Don't blame her for being ignorant.
Mo Qingcheng smiled mysteriously: "I guarantee it'll be so delicious you'll bite your tongue..."
A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.
Bai Yueniang prided herself on being a kitchen maid, but seeing Mo Qingcheng's impressive skills today, she couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself, feeling like a small fry compared to a great wizard.
As the sun sets in the west, the people who have cleared the land walk home in the lingering heat, enticing aromas filling their nostrils and tempting their appetites.
Gurgle.
Glug glug.
Whose food fills the courtyard with such delicious aroma?
Liu Cuihua's eyes lit up: "Dad, you take the tools home first, I'm going to visit the Mo family girl."
"Come back!" Li Changgeng grabbed his foolish wife's wrist. "Look at you! Aren't you afraid that Lady Mo will find you disgusting?"
Liu Cuihua blinked, awkwardly touched her nose, and scurried away: "I'm going home to take a shower first. No one can stop me from going to Lady Mo's house."
"Pfft!" Li Changgeng almost choked to death on a mouthful of blood, while Li Yuanlin chuckled.
"Dad, Aunt Mo is way more charming than you..."
"You little brat, are you itching for a beating?" Li Changgeng kicked his second son in the butt: "Here you go."
Li Yuanlin asked, utterly dejected, "Dad, was I switched at birth or was I adopted?"
"You decide what to do, you brat."
Ahhh...
Li Yuanlin picked up the hoe his mother had thrown down, turning back every step of the way, "Mo Niangzi, does your family need a nephew?"
