"Ah~, you motherless thing, I treated you so well before."
Liu Cuifang fled to a more distant place, still cursing under her breath.
"Liu Cuifang, I advise you to watch your mouth. Don't think you're so great just because your father is the village chief."
Wei Yuyan told Xiao Lei to stop throwing mud. She said that Liu Cuifang was a petty person who might retaliate behind his back. It was nothing for women to quarrel.
"Mind your own business."
Liu Cuifang held her head high with pride.
"Alright, Cuifang, why are you arguing? Let's go."
Hearing their argument, Xiaocao quickly ran over and pulled Liu Cuifang away from there.
"Xiao Lei, don't be so impulsive in the future. She's a mad dog, just ignore her."
Wei Yuyan didn't take Liu Cuifang's words to heart.
"Yes, sister-in-law, I knew she wasn't a good person all along, but she's quite good at pretending."
Xiao Lei has never liked Liu Cuifang since childhood, as she always liked to follow her brother around.
She even secretly made him and Qianqian call her "sister-in-law," but she herself wouldn't.
"Okay, let's touch it for a little longer, then we'll go upstairs to avoid catching a cold."
Wei Yuyan noticed that the bucket was already quite full.
"Sister-in-law, would you like some river clams?"
Xiao Lei took out a clam and asked Wei Yuyan.
"Yes, this makes a really delicious soup."
Wei Yuyan remembered having clam and egg soup before, which was delicious, but she had never made it herself.
After touching her for a while, about fifteen minutes, Wei Yuyan and Xiao Lei came up.
The next day at noon, Wei Yuyan stir-fried two kinds of snails: one was called "sucking snail," which she ate alone, and the other was stir-fried snail meat that she had picked out.
"Xiao Lei, take this bowl to Sister Xiuhua."
Wei Yuyan specially cooked extra so that Sister-in-law Xiuhua and the others could try it.
At noon, Wei Yuyan only ate half a bowl of rice. She was full from eating snails. They were so delicious that Wei Yuyan decided to go touch them again in a few days.
"Sister-in-law, your stir-fried snails are delicious! I just realized that it's not that snails aren't tasty, it's that we don't know how to cook them properly!"
When Sister-in-law Xiuhua came in the afternoon, she praised the snail meat to the skies.
They didn't add any wine to remove the fishy smell when they stir-fried it before, and they only used a little bit of oil, so it didn't taste good at all.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, you probably didn't pay attention to removing the fishy smell."
Wei Yuyan was doing laundry at the moment. In this kind of weather, she basically had to take a shower every day, and so did she have to wash her clothes every day.
"Yes, we're just making things up."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua arrived with needlework, it seemed she was making socks.
"Go touch it again in a few days."
Wei Yuyan rinsed the clothes clean and hung them up to dry.
"Call me when you come. Your Brother Zhang said it was delicious yesterday. Teach me how to cook it. It's at least meat."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law quickly chimed in.
Evening... in town~
"Honey, I have something to tell you."
Juan thought this was a big deal, and her husband needed to agree.
"What's up?".
Xiao Fei paused, his hand still holding the food, and looked at his wife.
"That's my cousin, Cuifang. Do you remember her? She's my aunt's daughter."
Sister Juan put a piece of meat on Xiao Fei's plate.
"Yes, I remember seeing it when I visited your grandma's house for the New Year a couple of years ago."
Xiao Fei was a little confused; what did this have to do with his family?
"They came today and said they wanted to find a boyfriend for my cousin in town, because she doesn't want to marry a countryman."
Sister Juan explained the reason to Xiao Fei.
"So... you agreed?"
Xiao Fei never expected it would be because of this.
"Well, I couldn't refuse. My aunt came in person. She's very good to me. They even brought some pastries."
I told her to have Sister Juan come over and stay for a few days, and I'd introduce her to two potential partners.
Juan could tell that Xiao Fei didn't seem very happy.
"It's fine if she comes to stay or visit, but it's not easy to be a matchmaker. Who do you think would be suitable for us to introduce?"
If we introduce her too well, she won't be interested; if we introduce her too poorly, your cousin and aunt will complain about us.
Xiao Fei felt this was not a good job; in the end, he was likely to end up pleasing neither side.
"It's not that serious. I already have two people in mind, one of them is Old Sun's son, who lives in this alley."
She seems to be the same age as Cuifang, and she's not married yet. Also, there's Xiao Qin in your shop, isn't she married too?
Why don't you ask her tomorrow? Just consider it helping my cousin out. I'll go ask Lao Sun tomorrow.
Sister Juan thought of many people in the afternoon, but still felt that these two were honest and met their criteria, so they should be able to make it work.
"Alright then, I'll ask Xiao Qin tomorrow."
Xiao Fei nodded. Since Sister Juan had already agreed, he didn't want to put her in a difficult position.
"Thank you, sir."
Sister Juan put another piece of meat on her husband's plate.
the next day…
"Mom, do you think it would be more appropriate for me to go to my cousin's house today or tomorrow?"
Liu Cuifang was eager to go and couldn't wait to run to town right now.
"Go tomorrow, or the day after. A young lady should know how to be reserved. It's not appropriate for you to come to their door so eagerly."
This is three jin of rice. Take it to your cousin's house tomorrow. We can't give people something to talk about; we can't ask for help and then eat and stay for free.
I'll go to town to see you again in a few days and see what's going on."
The village chief's wife took out a small bag of rice and handed it to Liu Cuifang.
"Mom, I know. I'll be extra diligent at my cousin's house. Don't worry, I'm not a three-year-old."
Liu Cuifang felt that her mother was really long-winded.
"Cuifang, you must be careful when you go to town this time. Don't just go through the motions. If you keep dragging it out, you won't be able to find a good boy."
The village chief looked at his ignorant daughter with a sense of helplessness.
"Yes, Dad, I understand."
Liu Cuifang nodded and calmed down. The most important thing she wanted to do in town was to find a rich person.
To live a life of luxury, even better than Sister Juan's.
Liu Cuifang got up early, dressed up beautifully, and took two relatively new sets of clothes before getting on an oxcart to go to town.
The next day, Wei Yuyan went to town to buy meat buns and saw Liu Cuifang sitting on an oxcart. She was carrying a bundle and had a smug look on her face.
"Cousin~".
When Liu Cuifang arrived in town, she gently knocked on the door.
"Hey, Cuifang's here. Have you had breakfast yet?"
Sister Juan welcomed Liu Cuifang in.
"Yes, cousin, I've already had breakfast. I'm so sorry to bother you."
Liu Cuifang greeted them with a smile.
"Don't mention it. I don't have any other sisters, just you, my cousin. If I don't help you, who else would I help?"
Come on, this room was originally where my youngest son slept. I let him sleep here with his older brother for a few days, so you can sleep here.
The blankets were newly changed, so feel at your cousin's house just like you would at home, don't be shy.
