Chapter 474: Are You Still Satisfied With What I’ve Done?
“So, little sister, she’s not the same pitiful creature that anyone could step on before, she’s really going to become a phoenix rising high on a tree branch. Considering the situation of your two households, even if you want to propose to her now, she still might not accept.” Zhu Cuiying saw the look on Zhu Hongyun’s face and continued to speak.
She ground her teeth once more.
The lowly woman whom she wouldn’t care about in the past no matter how much the woman flattered, has now unexpectedly risen to such a high position!
Now, it seems that her family is the one being looked down on by that lowly woman!
“Speaking of which, little sister, you should talk to your mother about not missing the chance with my Yingying, or it will be hard for Sanlang to find a wife.” Seeing the teeth-grinding anger on Zhu Hongyun’s face, Zhu Cuiying decided to quit while she was ahead and shifted the topic back.
Zhu Hongyun forced a grin, “Alright, I will tell my mother.”
The Tong Family would never marry such a scheming and burdensome woman!
With that, the conversation ended. Zhu Cuiying had achieved the effect she wanted and went home satisfied.
When Qiao Xiaomai came over today, she repeated every detail of her conversation with Zhu Hongyun.
After finishing, she anxiously looked at Xiaomai, and cautiously said, “Xiaomai, I was wrong in the past, you see…”
“You did well.” Qiao Xiaomai nodded.
What she wanted was not for Zhu Hongyun and the Zhang Family to be kind to her, but to fear her. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novel✶fire.net
Now Zhu Cuiying pointed out all her strengths perfectly, which was good.
However, if this mother and daughter-in-law still firmly believed that she wasn’t worthy of Tong Sanlang under these circumstances, then they were really hopeless.
“You should visit Zhu Hongyun more often when you’re free.” After some thought, she said again.
“No problem!” Zhu Cuiying nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
“If you do a good job with this, then you don’t need to pay back the five taels of silver.” Qiao Xiaomai mentioned.
Although this was something Zhu Cuiying should do, giving her a small reward would motivate her to work harder.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Cuiying immediately smiled joyfully, “Don’t worry, I will make her realize that you’re now a phoenix!”
“No, don’t misuse the word phoenix, just let her realize that it’s me looking down on her family.”
“Look at my bad mouth, speaking out of turn again.” Zhu Cuiying slapped herself on the face then patted her chest to assure, “Leave this matter to me!”
Qiao Xiaomai nodded, gave a few instructions, and then left.
When she returned home, Tong Sanlang did not come in the evening.
The whole Tong Family spent the day in the fields today, and he made dinner again. Everyone didn’t go to sleep until late.
The next day, Tong Sanlang went hunting again early in the morning, and Xiaomai prepared all the ingredients needed for lunch.
When Tong Sanlang returned from hunting, he gave her a goat.
A goat, what a good thing!
She let Qiao Changshun handle the goat and prepared to make lamb soup.
Actually, she wanted to try roasting a whole lamb, but it’s summer now. It would be too hot standing by the fire for roasting.
And she had never roasted a whole lamb before, the Spiritual Spring water wasn’t useful in roasting a whole lamb.
After hesitating for a while, she decided to make lamb soup.
The Spiritual Spring water could be used for this.
In addition to the goat, she also went to the river to catch some snails and little fish.
These things were free, and when the villagers saw her catching them, they followed suit. There are not many snails left in the river.
Once the manor is built, not only will she plant fruit trees, but she will also dig a pond for raising aquatic products.
While contemplating the design of the manor and cooking, her courtyard door was knocked on. She went out to see and found dozens of people standing outside.
