Don't think that just because those powerful and wealthy masters are well-known for their good deeds, they really think they are as generous as the prime minister.
Sometimes, the more such a person is, the less he will tolerate his subordinates making mistakes.
Besides, this is not an ordinary snack. It was specifically requested by Mr. Qi. Maybe it’s his mother’s favorite. How could the birthday banquet be without it?
Shopkeeper He asked, "How many days are left until the birthday banquet?"
The accountant said, "Three days."
Shopkeeper He's face darkened: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
If he had said it earlier, he would have tolerated the brother and sister for the time being!
The accountant thought to himself, this was an order given before the New Year, the kitchen staff will remember it and will do it on the right day, so you don't have to worry about anything!
But who would have thought that on your first day in office, you would offend the brother and sister who supplied the goods? In the years that Shopkeeper Sun has been here, regardless of whether his methods are honorable or not, his business is sound and Jinji is well managed.
This mess is entirely the fault of Shopkeeper He.
Shopkeeper He asked with a headache: "How many salted egg yolks are left?"
The accountant said stubbornly, "There's not a single one left."
Shopkeeper He said coldly: "Didn't you just supply the goods?"
The accountant said helplessly, "We had 100 of them, but they were all finished! The cooks tried two, and the rest were all sold out yesterday. Even a customer came today to ask why the egg yolk pastry was gone."
Shopkeeper He was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table! ...
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know that a sanction she thought was useless actually happened to press Jin Ji's throat.
She was counting the contents of the small backpack.
She patted her forehead and said, "I forgot to send the red dates and white fungus I brought back from Aunt Fu yesterday to Su Yu Niang!"
"Dad! Ergou! Dahu, Erhu, and Xiaohu! I'm going out for a while!"
In the main room, Wei Ting, the only one who was not named, had a rather grim look on his face.
The old Su family was particularly lively today. The Zheng family from Qianshui Village came to visit. They were Su Yu Niang's husband Zheng Yuanbo and her elder sister-in-law Zheng Lanxiu.
Su Yu Niang gave birth to a child during the New Year at her parents' home, and there were some gossips in the village. This was because she was from the old Su family, and the villagers remembered the kindness they had shown them in the past. They didn't say anything too much on the surface, but no one knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
The door of Old Su's house was open, and Su Xiaoxiao walked in.
The main room was empty, not a single person was there, but the sound of conversation could be heard coming from Su Yu Niang's room.
"...Yu Niang, your child is born and the New Year is over. It's time to go back."
Su Xiaoxiao had some impression of this voice. It should come from Su Yu Niang's sister-in-law Zheng Lanxiu.
"You haven't been home for a while, and Xing'er must be missing you, right, Xing'er?"
"Ah, yes, yes! Yu Niang, please come back with me!"
"If you want me to go back with you, you better get that bitch out first!"
Bitch?
Hmm? She seemed to have heard something remarkable.
Su Xiaoxiao continued to prick up her ears.
It would be a waste not to listen to the gossip you have got! Zheng Lanxiu said earnestly, "Yu Niang, listen to the truth from your sister-in-law. Xing Ge'er has no one else in his heart. He took her in because he felt sorry for her. Who would have thought that she was actually... Xing Ge'er was confused for a moment and regretted it afterwards. Xing Ge'er wanted to send her away, but she was pregnant again... The two elders at home disagreed, so they kept her temporarily."
"But don't worry, Xing Ge'er is sincere to you. You are Xing Ge'er's legal wife, and no one can surpass you! When the child is born, it will be registered in your name and sent away immediately!"
Su Yu Niang said excitedly: "Let her go now! Also, I don't want her child! Let them both get out of here!"
After that, Zheng Lanxiu patiently tried to persuade Su Yu Niang a few more times, but Su Yu Niang refused to listen and only said one thing: Let that woman get out of the Zheng family with the evil child in her belly!
Zheng Lanxiu was finally cornered and revealed her true colors. She said sarcastically, "You can't give birth to a son, so you don't allow others to? Do you want to cut off the incense of our Zheng family? You got pregnant after three years of marriage. What did I think you could give birth to? Nothing but a -"
The next second, Zheng Lanxiu ran out in a panic, covering the big bump on her forehead.
"Su Yu Niang! Just stay at your mother's house! I want to see how long you can stay there! Xing Ge'er! Let's go!"
Zheng Lanxiu grabbed her brother's hand and cursed as they walked, "Why did you marry such an unreasonable bitch?"
The two passed by Su Xiaoxiao.
Xingger hung his head, looking like a coward. Zheng Lanxiu glanced at Su Xiaoxiao. She was angry and ignored everyone and walked away without looking back!
"Hey - Lan Xiu!"
Fang chased after him.
"Don't chase me!"
Su Yu Niang said angrily.
"You!" Fang glared at her daughter with disappointment, then turned around and saw Su Xiaoxiao in the main room.
Fang was startled, a trace of panic flashed in her eyes, but she looked at Zheng Lanxiu sitting on the ox cart, and did not care about Su Xiaoxiao, so she took small steps to chase after her.
When Su Xiaoxiao entered the room, Su Yu Niang was covering her face and crying.
Hearing someone coming in, Su Yu Niang immediately took a deep breath, let go of her hands, and pretended that she had never cried.
She raised her eyes and saw that it was Su Xiaoxiao. She was shocked but seemed to have some other emotions.
"What are you doing here?" She wiped away her tears and asked in a cold tone.
Su Xiaoxiao thought about it and tilted her head: "Look at you and make fun of yourself?"
Su Yu Niang glared at Su Xiaoxiao fiercely.
Su Xiaoxiao spread her hands: "I told you I'm not, but you didn't believe me."
She walked forward and handed a small basket to her.
"What?" Su Yu Niang spoke in a normal tone, but her voice was still choked.
"Dried red dates and dried white fungus, to replenish blood and qi, and also." Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her, "to treat constipation. You haven't been to the toilet in a few days, right?"
Su Yu Niang choked.
Postpartum constipation is one of the most common postpartum diseases, and Tremella fuciformis is rich in dietary fiber and can promote intestinal motility.
"If eating white fungus doesn't work, try this kind of plums." Su Xiaoxiao handed her a jar of sweet plums.
This kind of plum is similar to the prunes she had eaten in her previous life. The effects and taste are similar. It can be called a jet on earth. However, it is not a prune, but a specialty of the Great Zhou.
Hmm... Aunt Fu has a lot of good stuff! Su Xiaoxiao tapped the jar with her fingertips: "Friendly reminder, don't believe any of your own bullshit."
Su Yu Niang: "..."
Su Xiaoxiao waved her hand: "I'm leaving now. I still have to see Sister Chunxiu off."
Su Yu Niang looked at her and asked, "Why did you send it to me first?"
Su Xiaoxiao said, "Your home is close! My home is at the end of the village, the Li family lives at the head of the village, and your Su family is in the middle. If I don't deliver it to you first, do I have to carry a basket of dry goods around and then come here? Aren't you tired?"
Su Yu Niang asked again: "Aren't you trying to lose weight?"
Su Xiaoxiao was convinced by her and said with a fake smile: "I love you, Su Yu Niang. In my heart, you, Su Yu Niang, are more important than Sister Chunxiu. Is that okay?"
Su Yu Niang sneered and said, "I thought you didn't want to return the money to me."
Su Xiaoxiao's eyes rolled around: "Uh... can I not return it?"
