Seeing him get angry, Liu Hemiao immediately backed down: "Fine, I won't eat it then. What's the big deal? It's just a chicken leg! I don't even care!"
He held a grudge against Qiao Haisheng and sent him a small gift—just a chicken leg. Who could possibly eat that?
………………
Qiao Xiaoni showcased her culinary skills, although she didn't cut the chicken pieces and potatoes herself. Everyone could see that she cooked the dishes herself.
Li Meihua took a bite of the chicken. It tasted delicious and the meat was tender and smooth. It was so much better than the chicken she used to stew. She felt a sense of pride, as if it were her own daughter. She was truly the best.
She attributed her daughter's sudden and dramatic improvement in cooking skills to her schooling. In her eyes, educated people were different, and sending her daughter to school was the right decision.
"Girl, how did you make this chicken? It's so delicious!" Qiao Xiaoshan was about to put another piece in his bowl when he heard his father cough. Only then did he notice that there was a pile of chicken bones in front of him. The food was so delicious that he forgot to be polite and started eating potatoes instead.
The potatoes were stewed until very soft and mushy, and they were fully infused with flavor; they tasted just as good as chicken.
Qiao Xiaoni: "To make chicken taste good, you need to prepare all the ingredients and add enough seasonings."
Li Meihua rubbed her stomach. "It's delicious, but I'm afraid that after eating this meal, I'll be thinking about the next one."
"Mom, we need to work hard. We'll have plenty of opportunities to eat meat in the future." Qiao Xiaoni said to everyone with a smile, "As long as we make our first fortune, we'll have more and more money in the future, and our family's good days will begin."
Qiao Haisheng felt that a rule should be established tonight, so he tapped the table with his pipe, interrupting everyone's conversation.
"As the head of the family, I'm going to establish a rule tonight: from now on, Xiao Ni will be in charge of all business matters, and no one should get involved, especially when it comes to money. Everyone, please remember this."
I don't want people to argue about money one day because I've made some.
Anyone who breaks this rule? Don't blame me for being ruthless. Did you all understand?
Qiao Dashan: "Dad, what are you saying? How could we possibly make things difficult for my sister?"
Qiao Xiaoshan chimed in, "I'll definitely listen to my sister from now on. If she tells me to go east, I'll never go west, okay?"
Qiao Haisheng was relatively at ease with his two sons, and looked at his daughter-in-law, Tao Chunfang.
"You're the sister-in-law, so you might think we're family, but ever since you married into the Qiao family, I haven't said a single harsh word to you."
I've already considered you my daughter in my heart. No matter what happens in the future, you must treat the Qiao family as your own home.
You can say anything in front of everyone; there's no need to hide anything.
“Dad, you’re exaggerating,” Tao Chunfang said, frowning. “Ever since I married into the Qiao family, I’ve considered myself a member of the Qiao family and I would never side with outsiders.”
Hearing his daughter-in-law's assurance, Qiao Haisheng was temporarily relieved. For a family to prosper, it must eliminate internal and external troubles. They must focus their efforts on one thing at a time. He hadn't achieved much in his life, and couldn't think of any good solutions. His only consolation now was that he had sent his daughter away to study; with so many skills she had learned, the Qiao family was finally about to flourish.
