NovelEnglish155 Here Again
The contract was written down and they could not deny that.
Despite this assurance, they were still worried that no one would make it in time for the plowing.
They got even more angry, when they thought of how Shao Dalang was helping Qiao Xuan with her useless garden.
Ms. Fang replied coldly. “That is something happening in our house, and of course it is more important. Also, Ms. Qiao pays them 20 wen a day for the work they do.”
Of course they were not helping for free… what did they think!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtQiao Xuan had only hired Shao Dalang for work, instead of outsiders, so Second Uncle and the rest could not say anything about it.
Ms. Fang put that out on purpose, just to annoy them.
“You can never imagine how they looked when they left, honestly, it was so funny!”
Qiao Xuan could not help but smile. “Serves them right! This is the consequence they have to bear for bullying you all these years. If they want to trouble you again, we will never allow it to happen!”
“Thank you so much!” Ms. Fang smiled so kindly.
Qiao Xuan chuckled. “Mom, to celebrate this, let me cook tonight. I will make many delicious dishes!”
Ms. Fang laughed. “Alright, alright, make anything you want, we have plenty of money! Oh by the way, you don’t have to buy rice or flour for the shared savings. I will ask Third to buy it from his share.”
Qiao Xuan nodded with a smile. “Okay, Mom, you are the best to me!”
“Oh my child, you are so sweet-tongued and adorable!”
The fresh mushrooms were washed and thinly sliced. The breast meat of two roosters was taken, coated with flour and egg whites, marinated with rice wine, salt, ginger, etc, and stir-fried together.
Two eels were picked from the big water tank, chopped into pieces. Some pieces of yam were added, and simmered together with the chicken pieces.
Mixed mushrooms and wolfberry sprouts were stir-fried separately.
The oil pan was heated, and then the dried river prawns were put in it. The sound of ‘swish’ was heard as the oil sizzled. Green and red peppers were chopped, garlic was added to the stir-fry, a little soy sauce, salt, along with half a bowl of water were also put in. The smell spread across the place, appealing to everyone’s stomachs.
There were still some yams left, so another plate of sugar-coated yams was made.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe dishes were put on the table, and the whole family was raring to get started, feeling no longer tired.
“It is so fragrant! I can eat an extra bowl of rice by just smelling the food!”
“Me too!”
Eldest Uncle opened his mouth but did not say anything about delivering some food to his brothers’ families, when he thought of how Ms. Fang still held a grudge against Ms. Niu and Ms. Ma.
He was very happy to see how happy his own children were. It was just that he had always paid too much attention to his brothers subconsciously.
The dinner was finished earlier than usual, especially since Qiao Xuan had cooked it.
She did not like to cook under the oil-lamp. Before the sun went down, Ms. Fang and Taotao helped with the preparations, so when they were done with dinner, the day was still bright.
In the evening, Second Uncle and Ms. Niu came over again for the issue regarding rakes.
Ms. Fang said the same thing again that they had the contract, and there was no need to worry about the work getting postponed.
She was not going to let her sons do the work. Following Qiao Xuan’s advice, she had decided to hire the family with bulls to finish the labor.
