With such a keen sense of smell, Luo's dog knew exactly how much food the Mo family had prepared just by sniffing it hard!
Grandma Mo kept the fire burning without looking up, but you could tell from her tone that she wasn't happy. "Our meals were pre-ordered, there's nothing left over. You can eat some, but taking it home is out of the question! If you take it home, then you can go and make lunch for the craftsmen and deliver it to them!"
Upon hearing that meals would be delivered to the craftsmen, Madam Luo shut her mouth. She wasn't going to do something that would be a losing proposition! Not only would she not get any food, but she would also have to pay out of her own pocket. She wouldn't do that!
Seeing that Luo had shut up, Old Madam Mo was too lazy to pay her any more attention.
Luo's small eyes darted around, glancing left and right, sniffing here and there. Hmm! So much meat and vegetables, and plenty of vegetables too, all cooked so deliciously!
Why feed those artisans so well?
“Mother-in-law, there’s no need to feed the craftsmen so well. Just make do with what’s available. We won’t need them anymore! You can give them half the food and keep half for your own family. It’s better to build camaraderie with your own people. You can’t expect the craftsmen to develop feelings for you by feeding them, can you? They might not even remember your kindness!”
Grandma Mo didn't want to listen at all. No matter what Luo said, she would only respond with "uh-huh" and never express her opinion.
Luo was also anxious. Had the old woman even listened to anything? Give her a straight answer! She needed to find something to put the meat in!
Finally, Grandma Mo gave a definite answer, "There's a lot of ash in here, it's really choking! You'll be more comfortable outside, let's go!"
After being pushed out of the kitchen by Old Lady Mo, Luo was stunned for a moment, hesitated for a while, and did not dare to go back in, so she sat down to the side.
Luo's behavior is quite like that of a dog guarding its food, waiting for its chance to strike.
A short while later, a second group of people from the Mo family arrived, including Qin Youming.
Qin Youming carried a basket of wild fruits over his shoulder. He hesitated at the door for a while before finally awkwardly entering the gate. When he saw Boss Mo walking to the door, he went up to greet him.
"Brother-in-law! Hey! I went up the mountain and picked some wild berries. They're sweet and sour and quite delicious. I was passing by, so I brought some over for you to try!"
Mo Laoda glanced at his somewhat shy brother-in-law. He didn't believe in the idea of "going by on the way." The mountain was on the other side. If he was just passing by, he would be just passing by his brother-in-law's house. How could he be passing by his own house?
However, Boss Mo didn't expose him. He nodded in agreement and even brought over a basket, saying, "Okay! Your sister likes to eat this, so save some for her!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Youming was overjoyed and quickly put down his basket, emptying all the wild fruits inside.
He laughed heartily and genuinely, his two small white teeth standing out. "Not many, they've all fallen off. I'll pick them off next time, it's alright."
"Come in and sit for a while!" Boss Mo picked up a fruit, wiped it on his sleeve, and popped it into his mouth. Hmm, it was quite sweet.
Qin Youming slung his basket over his shoulder and said, "No, I'm just passing by. I have to go back and get busy later! I'll come and visit again when I have time!"
Boss Mo didn't press the issue, "Alright then, come again next time!"
"Okay!" Qin Youming didn't linger for long before heading back with his empty basket on his back.
Watching from the side, Luo clicked her tongue inwardly, laughing at Qin Youming's foolishness. The Mo family was about to start their meal, so why go back? It was just one person's meal anyway, so wouldn't it be better to eat first and then go back?
Qin Youming didn't think he was stupid. He had his own principles and didn't eat at other people's houses casually. Other people's rice was hard-earned and they didn't have much left. Besides, he was indeed busy. He had to take care of everything himself. He was also making rice noodles and didn't have time!
The rice noodle buyers were very optimistic about Qin Youming and reached an agreement with him. Because Qin Youming's rice noodles were very good, as long as he guaranteed to make them like that in the future, they would buy all his rice noodles!
So Qin Youming was indeed very busy, and no one else was helping him.
However, his brothers, seeing that he could actually make money, were also eager to try it, but they planned to wait and see before making a decision.
The Mo family sent a third group of people, and this time Su Nanxi was a little surprised by who they were.
When Liu Jingqiu arrived at the Mo family, she didn't say much; she only looked for Su Nanxi.
Su Nanxi initially thought that Cao Erdan was coming to take the sweet potato vines back to plant, as she had told him before, but she didn't expect that it was just Liu Jingqiu coming alone.
Tsk! Why is he looking for her again?
What happened again?
Liu Jingqiu still didn't dare to come in. She just called Su Nanxi's name at the door and stood there waiting.
Luo heard it too, and even craned her neck to look outside. She saw a woman who looked like a young wife and couldn't help but snort in her heart. She's a new wife after all, so shy that she doesn't dare to come in!
Su Nanxi walked to the door, raised an eyebrow at Liu Jingqiu, and looked at her with a questioning gaze.
When Liu Jingqiu saw Su Nanxi come out, she walked over from the corner. Seeing that Su Nanxi was staring at her, she felt inexplicably flustered.
Tsk!
Su Nanxi was speechless; she was called out but the girl wouldn't say a word!
Should we let her out and see how she's doing?
For a long while, Liu Jingqiu kept her head down and didn't say anything. To outsiders, it looked like Su Nanxi had bullied her!
Look at Liu Jingqiu, head down and neck hunched, her thin body trembling slightly. And look at Su Nanxi, tall and slender, with an indifferent expression. No matter how you look at it, she is dissatisfied with Liu Jingqiu and has bullied her.
Su Nanxi wasn't stupid, and she didn't want to play along with a fool. She knocked on the door to remind Liu Jingqiu that if she had something to say, she should say it, or she was going back!
Who has the time to be a doorman here?!
Look how idle they are, wandering around everywhere! They're even spreading rumors about her!
Su Nanxi was getting impatient with Liu Jingqiu. What was she trying to do, acting all coy and hesitant?
Upon hearing this, Liu Jingqiu looked up, her eyes filled with panic. After stammering for a moment, she whispered, "I... I wanted to ask you for help. Please help me!"
Su Nanxi knocked harder, wanting to get everything out in one go, instead of hesitating and trying to build up some emotion!
Looking at Liu Jingqiu, she seems to have lost even more weight. If she loses any more weight, she'll look emaciated. It seems she hasn't been doing very well lately!
Liu Jingqiu was indeed having a hard time. She only knew Su Nanxi here, so Su Nanxi was the first person she thought of.
Liu Jingqiu choked up for a while before slowly speaking, "I'm not doing well, but I know you're doing well. You're the only person I can think of, so I want you to help me think of a way. I want to live a better life, I want to have money in my own hands so I can buy whatever I want!"
When money was mentioned, Liu Jingqiu's eyes lit up; perhaps it was her longing for it.
After saying that, she looked at Su Nanxi expectantly, subconsciously feeling that Su Nanxi would not refuse her.
Su Nanxi found it ridiculous. Why should Liu Jingqiu, who was struggling to make a living, have an obligation to provide her with a better life?
Where does Liu Jingqiu get her sense of superiority and that self-righteous attitude?
Su Nanxi is not Liu Jingqiu's maid, so she has no obligation to participate in poverty alleviation work!
Judging from Liu Jingqiu's behavior, it won't just be a one-time thing!
"You have a lot of ideas, have you thought it through?"
