After eating the meal prepared by Liu, the three old ladies all had their faces scrunched up in a grimace.
It's really that Liu's "cooking skills" are lacking. She didn't even clean the wild vegetables properly, and put the dried leaves and roots into the pot together. Without oil or salt, it was already unpalatable, and now it was even more difficult to swallow.
This time, however, no one dared to criticize, for fear that Yue Jiuyue would go crazy again.
What they didn't know was that this was how Yue Jiuyue's family usually ate. The only difference was that Liu Shi added salt to the food for the family, and she always kept the worst wild vegetables in her own bowl.
Today, her mother-in-law surprisingly stood up for herself and stopped being subservient to Qin and the others. Although Liu didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves, no one could complain about her not putting salt in her cooking, because salt was too expensive.
So, she was extremely pleased with herself for openly and legitimately tricking the Qin family today.
Well, she should keep her happiness to herself and absolutely not show it, otherwise her mother-in-law would probably resort to her usual crying and tantrums to clean up the mess for her.
Just now, she finally got rid of all her prejudice against Yue Jiuyue.
When facing the old lady and Qin Shi, Yue Jiuyue did not compromise and took out the family's grain. In addition, she had naturally seen the change in Yue Jiuyue during this period. Therefore, this time Liu Shi truly regarded Yue Jiuyue as a "mother" and not just a "mother-in-law".
Previously, her mother-in-law didn't like Xiaoman very much because she had only given birth to a daughter in the three years since she married into the family. This was quite normal. Not to mention her mother-in-law, Xiaoman herself was hoping to have a son for her husband as soon as possible. It's only natural for her mother-in-law to want to hold a grandson.
What she resented most was that her mother-in-law used to always save the best things in the house and then take them all to her maternal grandmother's house during holidays, so that no one in the family could touch them.
With her mother-in-law constantly threatening to "sell Xiaoman," Liu Shi couldn't help but feel uneasy, regardless of whether her mother-in-law genuinely meant it or was simply trying to scare her.
Add to that her own little schemes, and things just turned out the same as before.
Now, she feels she can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
The mother-in-law stopped using family belongings to support her own family, and she even showed some affection for her granddaughter, no longer scolding her at the drop of a hat. She even considered the well-being of the family, so the granddaughter's petty schemes gradually disappeared.
Imagining the bright future where the whole family would work together to live a good life, Liu couldn't help but smile.
"Hurry up and tidy up the table, how can you be so inconsiderate!"
Qin scolded Liu, then wiped her mouth and said to Yue Jiuyue:
"Sanman, we came here today to ask if the new grain called sweet potato that's been circulating in your village is true. We heard that you need to plant seedlings. We wonder if you have any extra seedlings?"
Qin directly stated the purpose of her trip and no longer considered having the old lady lead the way. The old lady's efforts had been surprisingly effective, causing Qin to lose several dozen coins. Naturally, she would settle this score after returning home; she couldn't afford to lose face like that again.
“Sister-in-law, we have sweet potato seedlings at home, but they haven’t grown well yet, and there aren’t many. They’re planted in the yard.”
Yue Jiuyue didn't say she wouldn't give it to them, after all, the original owner's own mother had come twice in person, and her original intention was to promote sweet potatoes, hoping that every household would grow them.
