She recently asked Pei Yuanzheng and Pei Qinggang to help her pick the Houttuynia cordata when they went to the mountain.
After entering the dog days of summer, she cooked a lot of it every day and distributed some to each of her relatives.
In particular, Li Jinhua said that Pei Qingsong really liked the taste of herbal tea, so she would send some extra every day so that Pei Qingsong could drink some herbal tea to cool off after work.
Li Jinhua knew that this herbal tea was good, so she drank it all without saying a word and asked for another bowl.
The other sisters-in-law looked at the brown soup in the bowl, which had a medicinal smell, and couldn't help but feel scared. Why did this thing look like medicine?
When Ruan Niannian took the bowl to the stove to pour Li Jinhua a second bowl, the sisters-in-law didn't want to dislike the herbal tea in front of Ruan Niannian, so they said something awkward to Li Jinhua and ran away.
When Ruan Niannian returned to the hall, Li Jinhua was the only one left.
"Where are the sisters-in-law?"
Li Jinhua took the bowl and took a sip. "I saw that they were afraid to drink, so I sent them back. They didn't know how to use the good stuff. These bowls have not been touched."
Listening to her frank words, Ruan Niannian smiled, "Of course, not everyone is as knowledgeable as our sister-in-law."
She sat down on the bench next to Li Jinhua, picked up one of the bowls of herbal tea and took a sip. It had a slightly sweet taste, which you couldn't tell if you didn't drink it carefully. She had deliberately added a small amount of rock sugar for flavoring.
After drinking two bowls of cold tea, Li Jinhua's anger finally subsided a little. She pulled Ruan Niannian and asked, "What are you going to do about the second brother's wife? Judging from her attitude, it seems that she is going to pester you. When the fourth brother and Qing Gang are not at home, I am afraid she will..."
She didn't say the rest, but they all understood. They wouldn't actively harm others, but they wouldn't think too highly of human nature either.
"Sister-in-law, this is what I discussed with my Yuanzheng before..." She repeated what she had discussed with Li Jinhua, and then said, "Originally, I wanted to take care of them for Jianhui's sake, but you saw what happened today, so I'm not willing to do that anymore."
Li Jinhua thought about it for a while, and then said, "I think it's okay."
"Sister-in-law, I know you feel uncomfortable, but you can lower the price. Give them one dollar each a month. Anyway, the grass leaves that rabbits eat are the freshest in the morning. If you pick them in the middle of the morning, they are old and the rabbits don't like to eat them anymore."
"The couple can earn two yuan a month just by spending one morning picking grass leaves. Although the second child cannot go to work, Zhang Xiangyun can. The money they earn from you and the work points Zhang Xiangyun earns every month is enough for their family to survive."
"Although we later discovered that the second and third brothers were not very good at what they did, they were still willing to work and would not cheat, which made them better than the third and third brothers."
After Li Jinhua's analysis, Ruan Niannian felt as if something had suddenly dawned on her.
She didn't want to give this job to Pei Qingbai and Zhang Xiangyun, simply because she felt that the agreement with Pei Yuanzheng to pay more money and avoid trouble had trapped her and she felt that they were not worth that much money.
Now Li Jinhua's plan made her realize that she had locked herself into a dead end.
Yes, wouldn't it be nice to hire them to do the work for two dollars a month? Why spend more? It's just to feed their appetite.
She smiled brightly, "Sister-in-law, you are really awesome. I will do as you say."
"But I don't really want to see them now." Ruan Niannian hugged Li Jinhua's arm and started to act coquettishly, "Can you please help me talk to them, sister-in-law?"
With Li Jinhua taking action, how could Zhang Xiangyun dare to say anything?
Li Jinhua felt dizzy with her arms hugged.
Hey, who is this soft girl? It must be their younger brother's sister! She felt her brain go blank all of a sudden, and she only remembered what Ruan Niannian asked her to do.
Without further ado, he agreed, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will definitely do everything for you!"
"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Ruan Niannian rested her head on Li Jinhua's shoulder, which was thick and warm, like an elder sister from her mother's family. She took the opportunity to tell her that Zheng Chenggong would come to have dinner tomorrow.
"The main reason is that I wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with my sister-in-law, and I happened to ask him for help with the festival gifts, so he insisted on coming along. Alas."
Li Jinhua waved her hand and said, "It's nothing. I'll cook two more dishes. Your elder brother and I like Chenggong very much. It's not easy for the child to be here alone. Bring him over."
"Thank you, sister-in-law! Sister-in-law is the best!" Ruan Niannian cheered in her heart. She knew that Li Jinhua was special to her! Especially good!
Li Jinhua, who was completely dizzy from the flattery, walked out of Ruan Niannian's house with light steps. When she left, Ruan Niannian stopped her and brought her a thermos of herbal tea.
When I go home, I feel particularly happy.
He drank and took things and was praised for a long time. Who wouldn't feel happy?
Even Pei Qingsong discovered it.
As long as Li Jinhua stayed with Ruan Niannian a little longer, she would be in a particularly good mood, so good that even if he asked for her twice more at night, she would just bite him twice.
Therefore, Pei Qingsong had long been looking forward to Li Jinhua being with Ruan Niannian every day, and he wished that they could stick together more while he was at work.
He used to feel jealous, but now he just thinks that he was too ignorant.
On the other side, Ruan Niannian was also in a particularly good mood. She looked at the rabbits in the fence, which were mostly gray and a few white. She grabbed a few handfuls of leaves and threw them in. Looking at the cute little rabbits fighting for the leaves, she couldn't help humming a song.
"The little white rabbit is so white. Lift up its two ears. After cutting its arteries and veins, it is so cute lying there motionless. Peel off the skin, chop it into pieces, put it in a pot and stir-fry it. Add water and cover it. Sprinkle coriander before serving. Bring a bowl and a pair of chopsticks, open your mouth and taste a piece. It is not too salty and the taste is not too bland. It is a delicious dish to go with wine!"
