Li Xiangping and the others didn't know when they would finish their work, so Yan Qingqing didn't plan to wait for them. She was going to go straight home after finishing her business here.
On my way home, I ran into Li Erdan and his wife.
The two people were dressed in tattered clothes, looking like beggars. Yan Qingqing didn't notice them because they were behind her.
At first, the two were just blaming each other, but as they got more and more agitated, Chen Damei roared, "Li Erdan! I gave you fifty coins, which wouldn't even be enough to buy a fresh set of pig offal, so why did you have to buy a rotten one?"
I told you, pig offal may smell bad, but it shouldn't be that smelly! It made me wash in the river for most of the night.
The butcher told you the meat had gone bad after a while, but you still lied and said it was for feeding dogs.
If it weren't for you, would we have been detained for another ten days or so?
Tell me, where did the rest of the money go?
Yan Qingqing immediately understood. No wonder Li Xiangping and the others said that the two men would be released in three days after being given thirty lashes by the magistrate, as long as they paid for the medical treatment. However, they have been detained until now. It turns out that Li Erdan knew that the pig offal was problematic, but he still insisted on buying it.
Yan Qingqing said that people who knowingly break the law and intentionally harm others should be punished even more severely.
Seeing Chen Damei nagging on and on, Li Erdan suddenly got angry and said, "You stinking woman, how dare you say that? If you hadn't encouraged me to learn how to sell braised pig offal, would this have happened?"
You even made me get thirty lashes and locked up for over ten days. You've completely humiliated me.
"How could I be so unlucky as to marry a jinx like you? If I had married Qingqing instead, all that money would be mine!"
Li Erdan knew how booming Yan Qingqing's food business was, and it would be a lie to say he wasn't envious and jealous.
Chen Damei had softened after hearing Li Erdan's words, but she exploded again when she heard Yan Qingqing's name, hysterically shouting, "You, Li Erdan, have finally spoken your mind today!"
"I'm going to fight you to the death today!"
After saying that, he started scratching Li Erdan's face!
Yan Qingqing was engrossed in watching the drama unfold when the situation suddenly shifted and affected her.
Then she saw Li Xinniang looking at her with interest, and awkwardly touched her nose to explain to Li Xinniang, "Xinniang, don't think too much. I have nothing to do with Li Erdan."
Your mother wouldn't even look at a man like that!
For the first time, Li Xinniang realized that her mother was actually quite adorable. Recalling Yan Qingqing's demeanor when negotiating business with Manager Wu, she naturally understood that Yan Qingqing truly looked down on men like Li Erdan.
So she laughed and said, "Of course I know you wouldn't look down on this kind of man, Mother. It's just that it's kind of funny that you wanted to hear gossip but ended up gossiping about yourself."
Yan Qingqing: ……
This child's way of speaking is really unpleasant.
Chen Damei and Li Erdan really got into a fight. Chen Damei scratched Li Erdan's face until it was covered in blood. Of course, Li Erdan was not to be outdone and beat Chen Damei up badly.
Chen Damei lay on the ground howling and hurling insults at Li Erdan and his ancestors for eighteen generations.
Yan Qingqing, having watched the show to her heart's content, stopped hiding and walked over openly with Li Xin's mother.
Upon seeing Yan Qingqing, Li Erdan immediately stopped, not wanting to leave a cruel impression on her.
When Chen Damei saw Yan Qingqing, she was filled with jealousy, as if they were rivals meeting. She stopped her tantrum and instead sprang to her feet, glaring fiercely at Yan Qingqing.
Yan Qingqing chuckled twice and said, "What a coincidence! You guys continue, Xinniang and I were just passing by."
After saying that, he grabbed Xinniang and left in a flash, leaving Li Erdan and Chen Damei staring at each other in disbelief.
The fight had pretty much worn down their tempers, and the two of them slunk home like stray dogs.
Not long after Yan Qingqing and the others arrived home, Li Xiangping and the others returned.
Now that the housework is all done by others, Yan Qingqing is basically not needed.
Li Xiangping has a real talent for making braised pork offal. His offal even tastes better than Yan Qingqing's.
Therefore, Li Xiangping gloriously succeeded Yan Qingqing.
Aside from managing the accounts, Yan Qingqing didn't need to do much else in the family business. Yan Qingqing sighed again, realizing that having many children was indeed a blessing, thanks to the original owner of the body.
With no work to do, Yan Qingqing no longer needs to get up so early in the morning, but habits are a terrible thing; once a biological clock is formed, it is very difficult to change.
Yan Qingqing got up early as usual; it made no sense for a five or six-year-old child to be up and doing chores. She, a woman in her thirties, was lying in bed sleeping in.
Yan Qingqing would practice Taekwondo in her spare time, thinking that she could protect herself if she encountered any unexpected situations in the future.
From the initial awkwardness to gradually getting used to this body, Yan Qingqing put in a lot of effort.
Seeing Yan Qingqing's agility, Li Xiangjian and Li Xiangkang both pestered her to teach them, and Yan Qingqing would teach them some basic moves whenever she had time.
Practicing martial arts is not something that can be accomplished overnight, and what she has is only a rudimentary skill, mainly for improving physical fitness.
When Yan Qingqing was tired, she would clean the yard, feed the chickens, and feed the birds that Li Xiangkang kept.
At first, Yan Qingqing didn't notice anything unusual, but as time went on, she felt more and more that something was wrong.
She frowned as she looked at the flock of chickens running around in the yard. She had originally asked for forty hens and ten roosters, but these chickens didn't look like hens at all.
Realizing she had been tricked, Yan Qingqing refused to believe it and shouted, "Hui Niang! Hui Niang!"
Thinking something serious had happened, Yuan Huiniang rushed over and asked, "Mother, what's wrong? Has something happened?"
Yan Qingqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Why do these chickens not look like hens to me? Am I seeing things?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Huiniang replied, "Mother, these are not hens you bought in the first place."
Of course, they're not all males. I counted, and there are four hens in total. If the eggs they lay aren't enough for my mother's postpartum diet, we'll buy some more.
I've already spoken to Grandma Wang next door, and she said she'll give us the freshest eggs first.
Yan Qingqing no longer cared about what Yuan Huiniang said afterward. All she heard was that there were only four hens out of the fifty chickens, but she had clearly told the old man she wanted forty hens and ten roosters when she bought them.
Now that I think about it, the old man was selling the chicks so cheaply, and he even looked at her with a slightly evasive gaze. He was just trying to scam her.
Yan Qingqing muttered, "But when I sold them, I asked that old man to pick out forty females and ten males for me. How did it change?"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Huiniang felt a pang of embarrassment. It turned out that her mother-in-law had been deceived, and she was still gushing about it so enthusiastically.
She never expected that her all-knowing mother-in-law couldn't tell the male and female chicks.
Yuan Huiniang smiled and comforted Yan Qingqing, saying, "It's alright, Mother. We can slaughter these roosters and make chicken soup for you to nourish your body."
Next time you choose chicks, just be careful to distinguish them.
Yan Qingqing had never raised chickens in her previous life and didn't know how to tell them apart, so she humbly asked Yuan Huiniang, "Chickens all look the same when they're young, how can you tell them apart?"
Yuan Huiniang explained, "There are many ways to tell the sex of chicks. You can look at their size, the way they walk, their rear ends, or even hold them upside down."
Finally, Yuan Huiniang explained each method in detail again.
Yan Qingqing nodded in agreement, feeling that she had learned a lot today.
Finally, she praised, "Our Hui-niang is so capable. Next time I buy chicks, I'll definitely take you with me."
Yuan Huiniang felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey after being praised by her mother-in-law, and she was extremely happy.
