No one cared about Liu's inner thoughts, but when she saw that the group was about to move to the village chief's house again, Liu became unhappy.
Could it be that the magistrate looks down on their family because they are poor?
If you dislike them, why do you still eat their sweet potatoes?
Yue Jiuyue saw a group of people coming out of their house and heading west from the back mountain. She wasn't sure if they were seeing Magistrate Tang off or what. When she returned home with Xiaoman'er in her arms, she saw Liu's dark little face puffed up with anger.
Huh? What happened?
Yue Jiuyue didn't understand, nor did she want to ask any more questions.
Why ask so many questions? What if there's a problem? Are you expecting her to solve it for you?
At this point, the problem was clearly about Magistrate Tang, so she wasn't about to pry.
Moreover, if there really is a problem that Liu Shi cannot solve, Lin Chaodong, as her husband, should not just stand by and watch Liu Shi suffer. The clan leader and the others would not make things difficult for a granddaughter-in-law.
"Mom, the village chief said he wants to invite the county magistrate to eat sweet potatoes. Should we boil them directly? Or steam them? Or should we make sweet potato rice? How many should we make?"
Yue Jiuyue didn't want to listen, but Liu wanted to say something. Although seeing her mother-in-law feeding her daughter water made her feel that her mother-in-law was now better than other people's good mothers-in-law, it didn't stop her from shifting the blame in the slightest.
Moreover, her mother-in-law is the one who makes the decisions in this family, so it's only natural to ask her mother-in-law about such matters. No matter what her mother-in-law says to do or how much to do, of course, it's up to her mother-in-law. She's just a daughter-in-law, how could she possibly argue with her mother-in-law? That would be unfilial!
Look, she is still a pure and filial daughter-in-law!
Yue Jiuyue watched Liu Shi wring her fingers, watching Liu Shi frantically seek her help and ideas like a headless fly. She thought about how long it had been since Liu Shi had acted so affectedly, transforming from someone who cried at the drop of a hat into someone who smiled all the time.
In the few months since she transmigrated, she's only asked her once about what the family eats: wild vegetable steamed buns or wild vegetable pancakes.
Before and after that, she always controlled the family's meals; whatever she cooked, that's what they ate.
The village chief already said we'd eat sweet potatoes, so why should the cook have to ask her how to prepare them?
There are only a few ways to cook, so we can't just not know how to cook it just because the other party is Magistrate Tang. And since we've never cooked for so many people before, we don't know how much to cook.
Yue Jiuyue guessed all sorts of possibilities, good and bad, but she wasn't sure why Liu Shi did this. Nevertheless, she still shifted the blame back to her.
"You're the one who usually cooks, so how much to cook and how to do it is up to you. I can't really give you any specific instructions."
Liu's face stiffened. Okay, Yue Jiuyue understood. This cheap daughter-in-law had no good intentions!
As for why Liu did this, Yue Jiuyue really didn't expect it; the other party simply couldn't bear to part with the grain.
However, the blame has already been shifted back to her; whatever the reason, it has nothing to do with her anymore.
Yue Jiuyue lowered her head and continued to feed Xiaoman'er water, then drank a large bowl herself, picked up Xiaoman'er, and headed out again.
"Let's go! Your mother still has to cook. Let's go out and play for a while longer."
"Mom, hurry up and cook, Xiaoman'er is hungry."
The little girl patted her tummy and said with a pitiful expression.
What else could Lady Liu say?
Hurry up and cook some food. Didn't you hear her daughter saying she was hungry? Is the county magistrate hungry too?
