Chapter 982: Chapter 982: How Can I Not Make You Pay a Price Chapter 982: Chapter 982: How Can I Not Make You Pay a Price Tian Wenli could never have expected that after her daughter’s incident, her own actions would also be implicated. It must be Geng Yanqiu who hinted to that despicable woman to come out with it. She should not have been softhearted in the first place, she should have dealt with her directly.
Luo Qiao walked out of the main gate, thinking in her heart that if someone bullied her fourth brother, how could she not make them pay a price? Not to mention that Geng Yanqiu might very well become her sister-in-law in the future.
She had deliberately made such demands, deliberately giving Tian Wenli a hard time. She couldn’t feel at ease without venting her frustrations.
She hurried out of the office building toward the graduate school, as she had already wasted a lot of her time. She had only completed half of today’s experiment and was still busy.
The Geng Family members returned to the courtyard. Tian Wenli resisted Luo Qiao’s demands in her heart, realizing how embarrassing it would be. She even thought about not caring about her daughter Geng Yanrong anymore; after all, a few years in prison and she would be out.
They could operate a bit and have her sentenced to fewer years, but then she thought about the defamation it would bring to the Geng family and their sons if her daughter were convicted. It was an unworkable plan.
Sitting alone in a daze, she was interrupted as her eldest son, Geng Lingfeng, walked in: “Mom, I advise you to just honestly follow Luo Qiao’s demands. Otherwise, Grandpa and Dad won’t spare you either.”
Tian Wenli looked up at her son: “Lingfeng, please plead for your mother. Grandpa and Dad listen to you the most.”
Geng Lingfeng looked at his mother with disappointment in his eyes: “Haven’t you always said everything you do is for us? Now you just need to retract your words and visit them, and you feel embarrassed?”
Luo Qiao felt good having vented her anger and unexpectedly finished today’s work early.
She packed up her things and went home early, playing joyously with her two little darlings. Thinking of future children’s toys, she sketched out a few and gave them to Elder Rong.
Elder Rong chuckled upon seeing them: “I can make these.”
Luo Qiao teased her two daughters: “Elder Rong, then I’ll have the wood delivered here in a few days. Just take your time and make them.”
She had so many large trees and pear trees in her space, and since she was making them, she might as well use good materials for the health of the children. She planned to go into the space with Lu Yichen later that evening to pick the appropriate trees.
Feeling good today, she decided to cook herself, starting with fermenting the dough, then stewing a pot of meat, and even putting boiled peeled eggs into the stew before beginning to make jelly.
She intended to make mung bean jelly, but it was too late to soak the beans, so she used sweet potato starch instead.
When Lu Yichen returned, the jelly was ready and the cakes had just been taken out of the oven. Rong Daniang took over, chopping the meat finely and stuffing it into the bread along with peppers in some, completing the meat sandwiches.
Knowing that Luo Qiao had made them, Lu Yichen brought over a basin of water: “It’s a hot day; wash up first then have a shower after eating.”
Rong Daniang set the table and first cooled the lean meat porridge she had simmered for the children before smilingly coming out: “Shall we eat in the courtyard or inside the house?”
Luo Qiao smiled, “Daniang, let’s eat in the courtyard. It’s too hot inside.”
Once everyone sat down and took a bite of the meat sandwich, they were truly conquered. The crispness of the crust, the softness of the filling, the aroma of the stewed meat, the richness of the marinated juice—everything melded together in a tantalizing dance on their palates. The fat was not greasy, and the lean meat was tender with a rich, mellow fragrance.
A mouthful of the refreshing, silky smooth jelly with a hint of spicy sourness truly whet their appetite; everyone was extremely satisfied with the meal.
Rong Daniang happily cleaned up the dishes: “I’ve learnt pretty well today, I’ll make it for you again sometime.”
The two little ones even had a few bites of the tender stewed meat, making their own lean meat porridge seem tasteless in comparison, clamoring for more meat from the adults’ sandwiches. However, since the meat was a bit salty, they dared not give them too much.
After the meal, Luo Qiao took a quick shower and the couple pushed a cart to a nearby small square, letting their two little girls play with other children of the same age.
Neighbors seeing them come out chuckled and called out, “You two also brought the kids out?”
Luo Qiao smiled back, “Yes, we came home early today, ate dinner, and brought them out to play and find some friends.”
The Sun Family’s daughter-in-law Song Yuanyuan was holding her daughter Sun Yue, playing nearby: “Luo Qiao, it’s rare to see you here at the little square.”
Luo Qiao felt somewhat embarrassed: “Yes, I spent too little time with my daughters. Most of the time, it’s Elder Rong and Rong Daniang who bring them here.”
Song Yuanyuan smiled, “You and your husband are both so busy, but your two little girls really know how to stand up for you. They even defend you when others tease them.”
Looking at her two joyful daughters playing with friends not far away, Luo Qiao’s eyes were full of tenderness.
Yanyan turned her head and saw her mother standing not far away: “Mom, come, Mom, come.”
