Chapter 8: Pressing for Debt Repayment
“Alright!” This time, before Madam Liu could react, the child beside her had already responded excitedly.
Seeing his mother staring at him, Song Ye laughed mischievously and quickly ran towards the bamboo backpack.
This time, Madam Liu did not stop her youngest son.
Since the daughter-in-law had spoken, she wouldn’t get angry at the youngest son later, right?
Qin Xiaoyao came to the small stream.
She poured the wild vegetables in her bamboo basket directly into the waterhole that had been dammed up.
Then, she cleaned the bamboo pan basket before washing the wild vegetables with practiced ease.
The withered and old leaves were all removed, leaving only the tender parts.
She had not finished washing the wild vegetables when she saw her sister-in-law running out of her courtyard.
“Sister-in-law, the water is boiling!” The little girl shouted at her.
“Oh, don’t touch anything first. I’ll be right back!” Qin Xiaoyao hurriedly replied.
After that, she sped up the washing of the remaining wild vegetables and Chinese yam.
Qin Xiaoyao paid special attention to the Chinese yam. She picked a handful of wild grass from the side to help in her washing.
After all, if one wasn’t careful, this thing could make one’s hands itch.
After washing everything in a hurry, Qin Xiaoyao picked up the bamboo pan basket and headed home.
The boiling water was hot, and she was worried that the three of them would be accidentally scalded if she allowed them to do the cooking.
Back at the kitchen, Qin Xiaoyao placed the basket filled with wild vegetables and Chinese yam on the stove.
Then, she brought a bucket over.
She went into the yard again and stuffed the two pheasants into the bucket.
After that, she returned to the kitchen.
She wrapped the two handles of the pot with the heat-insulating luffa pulp, lifted the pot, and directly poured the boiling water into the bucket.
Nearby, Song Yun was impressed.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFor the first time, she felt that her sister-in-law’s strength was really impressive when it came to doing housework.
That was no doubt about it. Her predecessor, Qin Sanya, was a very strong woman.
However, she had used all her strength to threaten and vent her anger on the Song family in the past.
This was the first time she used it on housework.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t know what her little sister-in-law was thinking. After pouring in the water, she put the pot back on the stove.
After that, she added another half a pot of water into the pot.
There were still sparks of fire in the stove hole. She added some water into the pot so that they could have hot water later.
After that, Qin Xiaoyao went to the stove and retrieved a pair of fire tongs.
Then, she carried the bucket with billowing white steam out of the door.
“Yun’er, bring the wooden basin over,” Qin Xiaoyao shouted when she reached the door.
“Okay!” Song Yun replied and quickly went to get the wooden basin.
When she arrived at the courtyard, she saw that Qin Xiaoyao was already stirring the pheasant feathers with a pair of fire tongs.
“Quick, bring the wooden basin over and put it on the ground.” Qin Xiaoyao said to Song Yun as she stirred through the pheasants.
“Okay!” Song Yun hurriedly did as she was told.
Only then did Qin Xiaoyao pick up the pheasants and put them in the wooden basin.
Then, she asked Song Ye, who was standing nearby, to bring the birds over.
The little child also hurriedly did as he was told.
Qin Xiaoyao then took the birds and blanched them in boiling water.
After making sure that every bird was scalded by the boiling water, she picked the birds out with a pair of tongs and put them together with the pheasants.
“Alright, let’s pluck their feathers together and clean them up.” Qin Xiaoyao said happily.
Then, ignoring the three of them, she brought the fire tongs back to the kitchen.
When she came out again, the three of them were already plucking the feathers of the pheasants and birds.
Looking at this scene, Qin Xiaoyao’s heart finally calmed down quite a bit.
“Mother, I’ll leave the task of plucking the feathers to you guys.”
“Call me when you’re done. I’ll handle the rest of the soft fur later. ” She knew that if she went near them, the three of them would be nervous again, so she simply kept her distance.
“Alright,” Madam Liu turned around and replied, but she didn’t even dare to look into Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes.
Qin Xiaoyao didn’t think too much about it and returned to the kitchen to continue her work.
The sky turned dark rapidly. In the whole house, only Song Que’s room had an oil lamp, and the lamp oil was almost exhausted.
If they didn’t hurry up and prepare dinner, they would have to eat in the dark.
After searching the kitchen counter and around the chopping board area and the cupboard, Qin Xiaoyao finally found the kitchen knife and the location of the condiments in the house.
Not only that, but she also saw the bottoms of the two almost jars, which contained only a bowl of brown rice and a bowl of flour.
Qin Xiaoyao wanted to curse again when she saw this.
...
She was still thinking of using pheasant eggs and wild vegetables to make noodles with the flour and then making some rice pancakes as the staple dish.
Damn it, there was no more flour to use at home.
Qin Xiaoyao’s face clouded over as she thought of something.
Then, she picked up the bowl in the brown rice jar and went out.
In the courtyard, the three of them were surprised to see Qin Xiaoyao walking out with a bowl in a hurry.
Seeing this, Madam Liu wanted to stop her.
However, after hesitating for a moment, she didn’t dare to open her mouth.
It was just a bowl. It was nothing compared to the items that her daughter-in-law kept giving away in the past…
If Qin Xiaoyao knew what Madam Liu was thinking right now, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.
After Qin Xiaoyao left her home, she went straight to the Wang family’s house, which was next to hers.
The Wang family was having dinner.
...
Today was the day that the only son of the Wang family, Wang Dashan, returned home for his day off.
Aunt Wang doted on her son, so she specially instructed her younger daughter to cook a large pot of rice and stir-fry two meat and two vegetable dishes.
The family of four ate happily.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmKnock, knock, knock! At this moment, there was the sound of sudden and urgent knocking on the door.
“Who is it?” Aunt Wang frowned and shouted at the door.
“Me!” Qin Xiaoyao swallowed her saliva and said with a sullen face.
Damn it, so this old woman had turned a deaf ear to what she had said earlier?
She had the time to eat such delicious food, but she didn’t have the time to return the money to the Song family?
Alright, since she didn’t return it, Qin Xiaoyao would come and get it personally.
Not only did she want the money, but she also wanted rice and flour.
The two old geezers’ precious baby was back, so it would be strange if there was no rice and flour at home.
She, Qin Xiaoyao, had finally transmigrated to this place. There was no reason for her to go hungry.
In any case, she had to eat the main course tonight!
Without waiting for a reply from the people in the courtyard, Qin Xiaoyao furrowed her brows and knocked on the door with more force.
“Open the door!”
“If you don’t open the door, I’m going to tear it down!” Then, she actually started to curse.
Was Aunt Wang’s brain fried? She had just answered the door. Did she think she would really believe that no one was inside?
Besides, there was the smell of such fragrant food. If there was no one inside, was a ghost eating inside?
The hearts of the four people in the room trembled.
Wang Dashan looked at the direction of the courtyard gate in fear, then looked at his mother.
“Didn’t I tell you to have less contact with her?” He said to Aunt Wang with displeasure.
That woman Qin Sanya was well-known even in Mountain Spring Town.
She was an evil female tyrant that everyone hated and even dogs disliked.
In Mountain Spring Town, those who knew her would keep their distance from her.
Only his mother was close to that woman.
“I ignored her. After you told me about it last time, I ignored her,” Aunt Wang quickly said.
“Then what is she doing here?” Wang Dashan’s tone became even more displeased.
“If you don’t open the door, I’m really going to kick it!” Just then, Qin Xiaoyao shouted again.
After she finished speaking, she really lifted her foot.
