Mo Qianshang was on the verge of tears. She had thought she was already a little rich woman, but in the end she was still incredibly poor.
Mo Qianshang has exchanged for the basic medical skills. Oh well, two thousand taels of silver is spent. Once Xiao Yaoshi has learned them, she can teach Qingyu.
When she got home, Xiao Yao was not there. Judging from the time, she should have gone to pick up the children from school. Only Liu Xiaoyue was at home.
"Aunt Mo, you're back! My mother went to let them out of school and will be back soon. Yu Ya went with her too."
Liu Xiaoyue used to be a bit shy, but she became more outgoing after getting along well with some of the other children.
Mo Qianshang patted her head and put a piece of candy in her mouth.
"Okay, Xiaoyue is such a good girl. She knows how to help her mother with housework. This is a reward for you."
Liu Xiaoyue's face flushed slightly, her mouth sweetly pursed, and she smiled shyly as she listened to Mo Qianshang's praise.
Since life has improved, Liu Xiaoyue has gained a lot of weight and looks much healthier than before. She used to be so thin and skinny that you couldn't tell she was an eight-year-old child.
Now that they're eating well, they're growing fast, and they've shot up in height in no time. They used to be shorter than Qin Heming, but now they're taller than him.
Having inherited the best features from Xiao Yao, Liu Xiaoyue is also quite beautiful. If possible, she would be a good daughter-in-law.
It mainly depends on the children themselves. She doesn't engage in arranged marriages, but if the two don't get along, it becomes a sin.
Liu Xiaoyue went to pour tea for Mo Qianshang. Mo Qianshang looked at the dishes that hadn't been finished yet, and quickly prepared them.
Liu Xiaoyue was stunned. Aunt Mo's speed was really fast. No wonder she is Aunt Mo!
Mo Qianshang was unaware that she had already gained a little fan.
When Xiao Yao returned with her four children and saw that Mo Qianshang had already returned, the children couldn't wait to run towards her.
"Mother, I miss you so much!"
Qin Yuya ran and jumped into Mo Qianshang's arms, burying her face in them.
Her mother was very busy every day. Although she wished her mother could spend more time with her, she couldn't bring herself to say it because her mother was working hard for them.
"Yu Ya, I've been pretty busy lately, so I can spend more time with you."
Mo Qianshang patted Qin Yuya's head, sensing her disappointment. At the same time, she felt that she was not a very good mother, always running around outside and not spending time with her child.
"Really? Mother is the best!"
Qin Yuya happily kissed Mo Qianshang and smiled broadly.
The three boys also wanted Mo Qianshang's company, but they gave up when they thought about going to school.
"When you have a day off, how about our whole family goes on a picnic? We'll just bring some food and find a grassy spot on the back hill. It'll be safe and convenient."
Mo Qianshang suggested it, and Xiao Yao thought it was a good idea, as it would allow the children to relax a bit.
"This is absolutely wonderful, Mother!"
Little monkey Qin Zixuan couldn't resist any longer; he had been wanting to go out and play for a long time!
Looking at the happy family and the children's contented expressions, Qin Baiyi felt his heart melt. He should have been there too; he had been a terrible father.
The children dispersed to do their homework, while Qin Yuya went to play with Liu Xiaoyue. Knowing that her mother was going to cook for them, Qin Yuya obediently went to play with Liu Xiaoyue.
Mo Qianshang smiled and handed the medical book to Xiao Yaoshi. To avoid making her think there was anything wrong, Mo Qianshang deliberately aged the medical book.
Little Yao took it and couldn't take her eyes off it.
She looked up at Mo Qianshang in shock. "Where did this book come from? This medical book is priceless! Did you sell our family's property?"
Looking at Xiao Yaoshi's expression, Mo Qianshang couldn't help but want to laugh, but she held back. She couldn't laugh at this moment, otherwise Xiao Yaoshi would start nagging again.
"What are you thinking? I got this from outside, it didn't cost much. Others don't know its value, so I got it for free."
Xiao Yao was skeptical. Books like this are usually passed down in ordinary households, so why would they be sold?
Mo Qianshang knew that Xiao Yaoshi didn't believe her, so she made up a story. She said that it was sold to her by an old man who had fled famine, because others thought it was too expensive to sell for one hundred taels of silver, so she got a good deal.
Mo Qianshang lied without batting an eye, and Xiao Yaoshi believed him. Qin Baiyi, on the other hand, was not as easily fooled as Xiao Yaoshi.
How many secrets does this "Mo Qianshang" still hold? She is like a mystery, attracting Qin Baiyi.
However, Qin Baiyi didn't care about anything else. Regardless of Mo Qianshang's motives, she had genuinely cared for the children before, so some secrets didn't matter.
Who doesn't have some secrets?
Mo Qianshang then handed the golden thread lotus to Xiao Yaoshi, asking her to keep it safe.
Looking at the perfectly intact medicinal herb, Xiao Yao knew that she must have gone into the back mountain.
She was both happy and worried. She pulled Mo Qianshang up and looked at her for a long time before she was relieved to find out that Mo Qianshang was not injured.
"You, you must take me with you next time you go to find medicinal herbs. How can I feel at ease if you go alone?"
Xiao Yao's voice came through, half complaining and half worried. She quickly took the medicinal herbs and went to process them, because if they weren't processed quickly, their efficacy would decrease.
Hmph, she'll talk about Qianqian again later, that's really too much! What if something happens to her?
Mo Qianshang took the vegetables and went to start a fire to cook. She was in a good mood and even hummed a little tune.
Qin Baiyi came in and sat down beside her to keep an eye on the cooking process, and Mo Qianshang did not refuse.
You seem to be in a good mood.
Since Qin Baiyi rarely spoke up, Mo Qianchang naturally wouldn't refuse to communicate.
"It's alright, it's rare to run into someone like this, I'm pretty lucky today."
Mo Qianshang knew that Qin Baiyi wouldn't ask any more questions, so she had no reservations.
Mo Qianshang's cooking movements were fluid and graceful. Soon, a fragrant aroma filled the air. She had added a lot of seasonings, which greatly enhanced the aroma.
Qin Baiyi had someone check it last time, and the thing Mo Qianshang added was not poisonous, but they didn't know what it was.
"What are you sprinkling?"
Qin Baiyi was still very curious about the unknown.
Mo Qianshang didn't expect Qin Baiyi to ask; she thought Qin Baiyi would only imagine things and wouldn't actually ask her.
"This is called seasoning, it's something you put in dishes to make them taste better, I just figured it out myself."
Since no one knew, Mo Qianshang simply said that she made it herself, firstly to avoid trouble, and secondly to prevent others from asking too many questions.
After all, no one tells others how to make something like this, which presents a huge business opportunity.
"Seasoning? Something like salt?"
This was the first time Qin Baiyi had ever heard of seasonings.
