Chapter 14: Preparation
Tang Dafu's mouth was full of oil.
Li Taohua said with disdain: "Look at you, can you be a little more promising?"
"Wife, your cooking skills are so good." Tang Dafu looked satisfied.
"It's not me, it's my daughter. People in the village say my daughter is a burden. I really want them to open their eyes and see what my daughter is capable of."
"Yes, yes, Yin's cooking skills are so good, I am taking advantage of her. Wife, I heard from Lu Wu that you bought medicine for Xiao'er. Now that our family is in such a difficult situation, you are still willing to spend money to buy medicine for Xiao'er. It is really a blessing for Xiao'er to have a mother like you. The child will definitely be filial to you in the future."
Li Taohua pouted: "If my daughter hadn't insisted on me buying it, I wouldn't have spent the money. The family can't even afford to eat, who would be willing to spend money on that thing? I see Tang Yixiao hasn't taken medicine for so many years, and he's still alive and well. But my daughter said to buy it, so let's buy it."
Tang Dafu held Li Taohua's hand, his eyes full of obsession.
"Wife, my legs can move now, how about I go down and help?"
"You're going to the ground now, do you want to be a cripple for life?" Li Taohua shook his hand away. "Don't make things difficult for me, I get annoyed just by seeing you."
After tasting Qin Huiyin's cooking, Li Taohua had no more objections to what she did. She had no objections to begin with, and now she had even less objections. She was even looking forward to tomorrow's finished product.
The food cooked by the Tang family was so delicious that the neighbors were drooling. They looked at the corn paste or multi-grain steamed bread in their bowls, which had remained the same for years, and really wanted to smash the bowls.
"Dad, I heard that the bitch took all her clothes to the city to sell. What price can those rags of clothes be sold for? How dare that bitch spend them like that? When she sells all her clothes, I wonder what will happen to her family. Her husband still owes a foreign debt of fifty taels of silver. How can she have the nerve to eat meat?" Wang cursed, with a look of jealousy on her face.
Tang Jiang ate steamed bread and drank wild vegetable soup, and said with mixed feelings: "What does other people's affairs have to do with us? Don't stare at them all day long, just live your own life."
"I'm waiting to see the time when that bitch can't survive. That bitch relies on men. When Tang Dafu's money is squandered by her, I wonder which other wild man she will target."
Tang Mingxiu, who had been silent the whole time, said, "Mom, my clothes are no longer wearable. When will you buy me some clothes? I'm fifteen and I want to get married. How can I get married if I don't even have a decent piece of clothing?"
Wang frowned, "I see. I'll go to town next time I go to the market and buy you something to wear."
The so-called wearable clothes were those that were not too worn out and bought from the second-hand clothing store. After all, even a piece of coarse linen cloth would cost thirty coins, so how could Wang be willing to spend that much money?
"Aunt Li's clothes are so good that even a used clothing store would have to sell them for fifty cents. People were willing to exchange them for peas, but you didn't want to. If you had exchanged them, I would have had clothes to wear."
"Li Taohua is so unlucky, aren't you afraid of being tainted with her bad luck by wearing her clothes?" Wang poked Tang Mingxiu's forehead and said, "It's just a piece of clothing. It's not like I won't buy it for you."
"Are the clothes you bought for me better than other people's clothes? Mom, let me tell you, the man my aunt introduced to me this time is very good. His father is the head of the village and has plenty of money. If you don't spend money to dress me up, I won't be able to marry into a good family, and don't expect me to help the family in the future. I'm not doing well, so I brought a man to ask for money. You decide whether you want to find a good or bad man for your daughter."
"You little bitch, you dare to threaten your mother? I am so unlucky to marry your father, a useless man, and give birth to a damn debt collector like you." Wang cursed.
"When my brother comes back, I will tell him that my mother said he is a debt collector."
"When did I say he was a debt collector?"
"Could you have given birth to him if you hadn't married my father? You regret marrying my father, but don't you regret giving birth to him? I am a debt collector, and he is also a debt collector." Tang Mingxiu said, and without waiting for Wang to pat her on the head, she put down the empty bowl and ran out.
She would not stay at home because she would have to do housework.
There were several other villagers who cursed like Wang. The women in those families were jealous of Li Taohua and were jealous that she had married a man from the village and was still living such a good life.
At this time, Tang Yi drank the medicine with a smile and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
He has been feeling chest discomfort these past few days, and if he doesn't take his medicine, he doubts he will be able to hold on for a few more days.
"How do you feel, little brother?"
"Much better." Tang Yi said with a smile, "Sister, don't worry."
"Thanks to Yinyin, otherwise you would have to stop taking the medicine. Don't be so mean to Yinyin next time, little brother. She really helped you this time."
"Sister, you are just too stupid. The mother and daughter are not so kind, they must have other schemes. Now they have given us a little taste of sweetness, but I am sure there will be more tricks next time."
"I don't know about that. I just know that it will be very dangerous if you don't get the medicine again. I am grateful to them for letting you get the medicine this time. You also know that Dad has no money now and can't buy medicine."
Tang Yixiao was only nine years old, but he understood human nature better than Tang Luwu. Seeing how much Tang Luwu trusted the mother and daughter, he secretly vowed to protect this silly sister more attentively.
Qin Huiyin didn't know what other people were thinking, she only knew that her family was in trouble and she had to find a way to solve the problem. The so-called way was to make money and get out of poverty.
The next day, she dried the pea flour and went up the mountain.
This time she went up the mountain to find a seasoning to replace the chili pepper. After all, she wanted to make jelly, and without chili pepper, it would lack soul.
She looked around the periphery but didn't find what she was looking for. She hesitated for a moment and finally decided to walk further inside. This time she wouldn't walk that far and would leave if she found something wrong.
"With so many black fungus, I'm going to get rich..."
"There are so many wild yams, but no one has discovered them. It's a waste of natural resources."
Qin Huiyin was like a happy little sparrow, chirping while diligently moving the things. Suddenly, she saw a trap in front of her, and a rabbit was lying in the trap.
rabbit……
She stood in front of the trap, looked at the dying rabbit, and finally left in tears.
There was only one person who set the trap in this mountain, and she didn't dare to snatch food from the tiger's mouth.
As soon as she turned around, she saw a tall boy standing in front of her. The boy looked at her with cold black eyes and held a sickle in his hand. The sickle was dripping with blood, and the red blood was cold.
Qin Huiyin was startled by him, moved to the side, and ran away at a very fast speed.
So scary.
She really suspected that if she stood there for one more second, the man would swing his sickle and chop her down.
