Chapter 102： Wan Niangzi

Chapter 102 Wan Niangzi

"You will provide for me in old age?" Mrs. Wan was happy. "Silly boy, my aunt is very touched that you have such a heart. I heard that your husband's family's conditions are not good, so you just need to take care of yourself."

Liu Ye clenched her fists and said, "Aunt Wan, I can make money by myself now, so it's not difficult to provide for you in old age."

Madam Wan pursed her lips and smiled happily, "Okay, okay, I know everything. In the future, when I am too old to walk, I will join you. Don't dislike me then!"

Liu Ye nodded heavily, "Don't worry, it won't happen!"

Wan Niangzi's gloomy mood improved a lot. Before Liu Ye left, she gave her a box of handkerchiefs she had embroidered, "I don't have much else here, just these things. Let's play with them!"

Willow Leaf only saw a corner and thought it was a veil, so she happily took it away.

As soon as she left, Lady Wan opened the box and was stunned when she saw the exquisite pastries inside. She rushed out of the yard with the box in her arms and stopped Liu Ye on the way, "Ye Ye, where did you buy these pastries?"

Liu Ye was startled and asked in confusion: "Dim sum. Is there a problem?"

Wan Niangzi realized that she had lost her composure, and managed to put on a smile, "It's not that there's something wrong with the dim sum, it's just that I've seen similar dim sum before, and I didn't expect to see it here, so I'm a little surprised."

"That's it!" Liu Ye breathed a sigh of relief, "This is the Ruyi cake made by my mother-in-law. It comes in three colors and three flavors. We can't buy it here!"

"Your mother-in-law?" Wan Niangzi filtered all the information in her mind, and only had a few impressions of Liuye's mother-in-law. She was a bad woman, arrogant, and mean.

She really couldn't associate Liuye's mother-in-law with these snacks.

Liu Ye nodded honestly, "My mother-in-law is very clever and can eat anything."

Ms. Wan’s eyes were a bit complicated, “Has your mother-in-law been to the capital?”

Liu Ye shook his head, "Why does Aunt Wan ask that?"

Lady Wan bit her lip and looked at the Ruyi cake, and said in deep thought: "As far as I know, only Bazhenzhai in the capital of Qi can make such a delicate cake, and they only make two-color cakes. I haven't seen it before. Three-color pastry, your mother-in-law is really not an ordinary person!”

Liu Ye gasped in shock, "Are you saying that my mother-in-law's dim sum is better than Bazhenzhai's?"

Ms. Wan tasted a piece, and her expression became more complicated, "It should be so!"

Liu Ye returned home feeling dizzy. Yang Datou saw something was wrong with her and asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"

Liu Ye opened her mouth and whispered to Yang Datou what Lady Wan said.

Yang Datou's somewhat drunken mind suddenly sobered up for the most part, "Let's just listen to this matter and don't tell anyone."

Liu Ye nodded heavily.

At this moment, voices came from outside, the two of them stuck their heads out, and Liu Ye shouted in surprise: "Sister!"

Liu Hua heard the sound and rushed into the house immediately, "My little sister is back!"

She thought she would see haggard willow leaves, but she didn't expect that the willow leaves in front of her would become so beautiful. She was a little afraid to recognize them. After a while, she looked at Yang Datou and said, "This is my brother-in-law!"

Yang Datou hurriedly called for someone.

The group of people sat down after exchanging pleasantries.

Liu’s mother gave the cakes Liu Ye brought to her grandson. Liu Hua exclaimed: "Hey! This is a pastry? I thought it was a real flower! Where did it come from, Auntie?"

"Your sister and brother-in-law brought it. It's delicious. You should try it too." Liu's mother only took out four pieces and distributed them to Liu Hua's family of four, and asked her to keep the rest.

Liu Hua only ate one pastry to find out about Liu Ye's situation at her husband's house. She was finally relieved. She stretched out her rough hand to brush the broken hair on Liu Ye's forehead and smiled happily: "I know you." I'll be relieved if I live well. That girl Liu Rong is not a good girl. Remember to stay away from her when you see her in the future, and don't let her scheme against you again!"

“Sister!” Liu Ye’s eyes were filled with tears, and she felt uncomfortable as she touched Liu Hua’s increasingly rough palm, “How are you doing now?”

Liu Hua sighed softly, with a slight smile on his sallow face, "It's not the same as before! We rely on mountains to eat mountains, and we rely on water to eat water. We have no land, and all the money we earn is used to exchange for food. It's not easy to get out of the mountains. It’s rare to get out there.”

Liu Hua has a hard life. She was not married to the man she is now. Unfortunately, that man was not lucky. She drank too much and died suddenly on the day of her wedding. The man called her a cheat and asked her to pay for her life. The matter was very big. It was Liu's father and Liu's mother. He asked the Liu clan to come forward to bring Liu Hua back, but Liu Hua's reputation had already spread, and no one dared to marry her even though she was still innocent, so she had to marry in the poor Pingshan Valley.

Liu Ye glanced at her honest brother-in-law Jiang Daniu and the two thin boys sitting next to Jiang Daniu, as if she saw her husband's brothers-in-law, and was speechless for a moment.

Father Liu and Mother Liu didn't say anything, but they felt sorry for their eldest daughter in their hearts, so they thought of taking the opportunity to improve their family's food. Liu Ye cooked all the fish and meat he brought, and Mother Liu specially killed an old hen. .

Liu Hong saw it and didn't say a word, and even took the initiative to help clean up the chicken feathers.

Liu Ye went over to help, but Liu Hong immediately chased her away, "Go, go, let's play in the house! It's very cold outside, I'll go in after I finish my work."

“Sister-in-law, when spring comes, I will ask Datou to send two more hens to our family.” Liu Ye was also worried that Liu Hong would be unhappy.

Liu Hong sneered, "You come back once a year, and you should be entertained with good food and drinks. Are you such a stingy person, sister-in-law?"

You can save as much money as you can now. After all, you won’t always make money in business, and you have to plan for the future, right? By the way, when do you plan to have a baby? "

“Let’s talk about it again!” Liu Ye ran away with a playful smile.

Liu Hong shook her head, looking helpless.

The Liu family had a particularly sumptuous meal in the evening, with big fish and meat, and the aroma wafted to the next door. Liu Rong and Ding's faces turned ugly when they heard the sounds next door.

Ding gave Liu Rong a gloomy look, "You are an unlucky thing! You can give away a duck that reaches its mouth!"

Liu Rong was already feeling uncomfortable, and her eyes turned red when she heard this, "Auntie, can you blame me? Who knew that the Yang family would turn over? It's not like you didn't know what the Yang family was like back then! Can I jump into the fire pit by myself?"

Ding also knew this and was even more worried.

The next day, Liu Ye and Yang Datou got up early and went out of the village with Liu Hua's family.

On the road, Yang Datou and Jiang Daniu talked about their livelihood.

Yang Datou was amazed again and again, "Really? So powerful? My brother-in-law can also catch deer? I think only Uncle Yang Han in our village has this ability!"

Jiang Daniu was very embarrassed to be praised.

Liu Hua sighed from behind, "So what if you have the ability? A deer is sold to someone who goes to the mountains to collect game for only two hundred coins, and the food in exchange is not enough to feed the whole family for a month."

Yang Datou was so startled that he coughed violently, "Selling a deer for two hundred coins? Isn't this the same as robbery in the open?"

Jiang Daniu looked confused, "Isn't it always this price?"
