Liu Cuihua froze, looking at Mo Qingcheng with suspicion, her heart pounding with anxiety. Was she about to lose her job?
There's not even a hint of a daughter-in-law in the family, it's really worrying me to death...
Mo Qingcheng laughed in exasperation: "Sister-in-law, what are you thinking? Let me tell you..."
Liu Cuihua's eyes widened: "Lady Mo, are you serious?"
"Real! More real than pearls!" Bai Yueniang interjected from the side, "Sister-in-law, are you relieved now?"
"Don't worry! Of course you can! Why wouldn't you? Hehe..." Liu Cuihua chuckled foolishly, "Lady Mo, Lady Bai, what are you eating? I'll just go get some more dishes..."
"puff!"
"Cough cough..."
Mo Qingcheng and Bai Yueniang exchanged a smile. They liked Cuihua's temperament; it was just to their liking.
They don't hold back at all, they say what they think, they're very genuine.
Liu Cuihua dashed into the kitchen, prepared two local dishes, and served them to the table, showing great hospitality.
Mo Qingcheng and Bai Yueniang couldn't refuse, so they only intended to try it, but once they tasted it, they couldn't stop.
"Oh my, sister-in-law, how did you grow such skillful hands? Come here, let me admire them." Bai Yueniang grabbed Liu Cuihua's hand, looked at it from left to right, and wished she could see a flower blooming in it.
"Pfft!" Liu Cuihua blushed and pulled her rough hand back: "Lady Bai, are you bullying me?"
"Tsk tsk, Sister Mo, listen to this, your sister-in-law is heartless. She was thanking me just a moment ago, and before we've even crossed the river, she's already trying to tear me apart..." Bai Yueniang pouted, her eyes curving.
Mo Qingcheng shook her head in vain: "Yue'er, stop teasing your sister-in-law. We've finally found a prospective daughter-in-law. What if she scares us? Who will cook for us?"
Liu Cuihua: "..."
She opened her mouth, and exclaimed, "Madam Mo is mighty!"
No, it's not Mo Niangzi... Liu Cuihua realized too late that she had been tricked by Mo Niangzi.
A new pit every day, and each one is different...
The children also learned from the adults' discussions that there was a problem with their family's rice paddy. They showed concern but couldn't help. Their mother and Qing'er were the only ones who could get involved.
Mu Wanqing's eyes darted around, and she said, "Mother, leave this to me and my second sister..."
Mo Qingcheng looked up at the mischievous Mu Wanqing: "Mother won't clean up your mess."
The little girl smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mother... please... you are the most beautiful mother in the world..."
"Stop!"
"Mother..."
"Granted..."
"Ah? Thank you, Mother!" Mu Wanqing's eyes lit up with excitement. She winked at Shangguan Yunxi, her meaning clear.
Mo Qingcheng was both amused and exasperated. Qing'er was truly...someone who could both love and hate her.
After the meal, Mu Wanqing couldn't sit still any longer. She immediately dragged Shangguan Yunxi towards the rice paddies.
The little girl ran all the way, like a bird just released from its cage, chirping and hopping.
Shangguan Yunxi looked helpless. "Qing'er, be careful..."
"Second sister, isn't this fun? Let's go!" Mu Wanqing hummed a little tune she had learned from Mo Qingcheng, smiling like a cunning little fox.
The two sisters climbed the mountain, observing as they went, exchanging a few words from time to time.
Suddenly, Mu Wanqing stood up: "Second sister, come quickly, isn't this Aunt Cuihua's rice paddy?"
"Hmm, Qing'er, is there a problem with the rice paddies too?" Shangguan Yunxi's heart skipped a beat.
Mu Wanqing nodded: "Second sister, look quickly, there seems to be something on these rice seedlings..."
Shangguan Yunxi was skeptical. She held the seedling in her hand, examined it closely, but still couldn't figure it out: "Qing'er, are you sure? The leaves are just a little black..."
"Second sister, there seem to be bugs in here..." Mu Wanqing smiled awkwardly and picked up the leaf, waving it vigorously in front of Shangguan Yunxi's eyes.
"Ah... you stinky Qing'er, take it away..."
