Chapter 82: Repaying a Favor
Zhulan has eaten a lot of sausages, including sweet, spicy, garlic, pure meat and fatty meat. Now San Ya not only sells the sausages herself, but also cooperates with the bastard. Wang Ru said that not selling them will have some effect in the beginning, and in the future, too many sausages will become unstoppable.
Zhulan had a plan in mind. "You think sausages are made of meat. You have prepared the meat filling. Try making it according to your personal taste. I believe in your ability."
Who knows, it might even taste better than what Wang Ru makes!
Li held her breath and stood up with her fists clenched. "Mom, don't worry, I will make better sausages. I'll go sell the meat."
Zhao waited for her sister-in-law to leave, frowning, "Mother, San Ya is not targeting my sister-in-law, but using my sister-in-law as a pretext to target our family. What does San Ya mean by that?"
Zhulan looked at the second son's wife with approval. She was absolutely accurate in protecting her when fleeing from famine. Unfortunately, she couldn't tell the truth. "Who knows why? I guess she's jealous of our good life."
Zhao accepted this reason. She knew that the person had dark intentions and that if she got involved, she would only end up in a dark place. "Mom, it's not a good idea for Wang Laosi to live next door."
Zhulan gave Zhao a reassuring look, "Zheng is not a pushover."
Zhao smiled happily in her heart and no longer thought about Wang Laosi's family.
Before Li came back with the meat, there was an unusually loud noise at the door next door. Zhulan frowned, not knowing what had happened. There had never been peace since Wang Laosi's family moved in next door.
Soon, Li came running in carrying some meat, "Mom, my dear San Ya saved me, and I've come to repay you. Not only are you riding a tall horse, but you're also carrying a lot of cloth that's dazzling, and there are also a lot of brocade boxes, and I don't know what's inside them!"
Zhulan thought about it and knew what was going on. This plot did not exist in the novel. In the novel, Wang Ru was already the head of the family and did not need the life-saving grace to raise her family status. But now it was different. Wang Ru was eager to be the head of the family, and the life-saving grace was very useful. If she just repaid the life-saving grace with money, the bastard would no longer look up to Wang Ru.
I went to the door to thank him for saving my life and gave him a gift. In the future, I will only be a businessman. This time, I really lost the big picture for the small. Zhulan was very happy, "That's good."
There is no need to worry about Wang Ru being closely connected with the concubine, and there is no need to worry about Wang Ru using the relationship to cause trouble for the Zhou family.
Li was envious and more motivated to come up with a recipe. She tasted the sweetness of the spicy cabbage recipe and thought that she would buy it herself when she had money in the future, and also win the favor of her mother-in-law. "Mom, when I have money, buy me something nice too."
Zhulan felt a little warm in her heart. No matter what Li's purpose was in flattering her, flattering her became a habit and became a reality. "Okay, mother will wait."
Li raised her chin to her younger brother and sister-in-law. Mother still liked her the most.
Zhao understood and had to admit that her sister-in-law was stupid, but she was not annoying. She saw how her mother laughed from the bottom of her heart. She could not learn to be like her sister-in-law, but she said, "Mother, the head of the family bought a piece of plain cloth. I made a set of clothes for you. It will be ready tomorrow."
Zhulan knew that Zhao was considerate and must have noticed that she didn't like dark clothes. She had wanted to change them a long time ago, but she had no reason. In ancient times, it was considered improper for a village woman in her twenties to wear bright colors. Grandmothers could only wear dark colors. Zhulan was very upset. "Then I won't be polite to you, but I won't make an exception for you next time."
Zhao pursed her lips and smiled, "Yes."
Li counted on her chubby fingers and realized that she had done nothing to honor her mother since she got married. She glared at her younger brother and sister-in-law with a guilty conscience and did not dare to stay in the house.
In the afternoon, the excitement next door finally died down. Zhulan didn't expect Wang Ru to come to her house.
Wang Ru came to look for Xue Han. Xue Han's arm was no longer in a sling, but she still pretended not to have much strength. It was her left hand that was in a sling. Xue Han had not been able to go out these days, fearing that someone would find out it was fake, so she had been practicing calligraphy by tracing red characters in the room.
Xue Han didn't expect that San Ya, who she had broken off contact with, would come to see her. She frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
