Chapter 50 The Village Beauty's Goddess of Cooking Mother in the 7s 7
Linxian County, Wangjia.
"Sweetie, don't worry, Mom has already taken care of everything for you. I've paid for it all. You're a college student now, no doubt about it."
"Really? Mom, thank you. I will definitely make sure you live the best life in the future, and make them all envious of you."
Yan Xue looked at Wang Tiantian with a face full of doting affection. She didn't ask for anything else; she just wanted her daughter to be happy.
"Boom, boom, boom."
Yan Xue and her daughter looked curiously out the door.
"Who is it?"
Yan Xue asked softly.
"Auntie, it's me, Yan Song. Open the door quickly, I need to talk to you urgently."
"Xiaosong, is something wrong at home? Why are you here?"
Yan Xue looked puzzled and reached out to open the door.
Seeing his aunt come out, Yan Song stepped forward and stood in front of the door.
"Auntie, come home with me quickly. Grandma needs to talk to you. I don't know exactly what it is, but she asked me to bring you back."
Yan Song dared not tell the truth. If his aunt knew the truth, she would definitely not go with him, and then his family would be in big trouble.
Once she goes back, even if she blames me, my grandmother will protect me. The most important thing right now is to trick my aunt into going back.
Yan Xue wondered if they were looking for her to go back and get some vegetables; it must be that her mother's vegetables were ready to be picked again.
Yan Xue exchanged a few words with Wang Tiantian and then went back with Yan Song.
Along the way, Yan Xue asked about the specifics, but Yan Song hesitated and couldn't give a clear answer, only saying that she would know when she got back.
When they arrived in the village, Yan Xue felt that everyone was staring at her the whole way, probably because she was dressed up too beautifully today.
Hmph, a bunch of ignorant country bumpkins.
But as soon as she entered the gate and saw the Zhao family members in the courtyard, Yan Xue knew something was wrong and turned to run out.
But they were stopped by someone very quickly.
"Yan Xue, why are you running? What, you know you've done something wrong to the Zhao family?"
Yan Xue's expression changed drastically, realizing that her plan had been exposed.
"Aunt, do you think you don't know what kind of person I am? How could I possibly be that kind of person?"
Granny Zhao rolled her eyes.
"Pah! You're not that kind of person. Let me be blunt, where's the remaining five hundred yuan?"
"What five hundred yuan? I don't know."
Yan Xue's palms were sweating profusely; she absolutely could not admit it.
The money's already spent, so I can't just take the blame now.
"Yan Xue, what are you pretending for? You don't know that Xixi's bride price is six hundred yuan?"
"What? Wasn't it supposed to be a hundred? How could there be so many? I didn't know, Mom, what's going on?"
As Yan Xue spoke, she gave her mother a meaningful look, hoping that her mother would take the blame.
Seeing that Yan's mother remained unmoved, Yan Xue, anxious, could only step forward and whisper a few words in her mother's ear.
Mother Yan had no choice but to step forward reluctantly.
"Sister, I was wrong about this. This 500 yuan was a deposit, I forgot about it. Wait for me and I'll get it to you right away."
Seeing that the money was about to be in her hands, Granny Zhao was no longer so unreasonable; as long as she got a tangible benefit, that was enough.
Yan's youngest daughter-in-law's face suddenly turned ugly. Could it be that her mother-in-law was going to use the family's money to cover up her sister-in-law's troubles?
She reached out and pinched Yan Xingguo hard, giving him a look that signaled him to watch out.
A moment later, Mother Yan came out of the inner room, clutching a large wad of money in her hand.
This money was Yan's mother's life savings, which she originally intended to use to buy Yan Song a job in the city, but now she could only use it for emergencies.
Thinking of what her daughter had said, Mother Yan could only look at it a few times with heartache before handing it to Granny Zhao.
Upon receiving the money, Granny Zhao beamed with joy and happily led her family away.
Only the neighbors who were watching the commotion outside the door and the Yan family members who looked unhappy were left behind.
"Hey, do you guys remember? Yan Xue originally wanted to introduce a boyfriend to Yan Xia, and Si Yan even said that she was selling her own daughter."
"I remember, I remember. I even said that Si Yan didn't know what was good for her, but it turns out that Si Yan is the smart one."
"That's right, no wonder she can do business in the county. I think Si Yan is very capable. The Yan family will regret offending her sooner or later."
"boom"
Mother Yan, no longer wanting to hear the gossip, closed the door directly.
Seeing that only family members were at home, Yan's youngest daughter-in-law started making a scene.
"Mom, is that money from home you just took? Are you getting senile? Are you struggling to make ends meet? What will happen to my son's job?"
At this point, Yan's youngest daughter-in-law no longer cared about saving face. She had no money left, so what did it matter if she still had pride?
"Alright, alright, Xue'er said she'd exchange some for me. As for the rest, we'll ask your sister-in-law for them once we get to the city."
"Xue'er just said that your sister-in-law's steamed bun shop is doing incredibly well every day. She makes at least ten yuan a day, and several hundred yuan a month."
Looking at her incredulous daughter-in-law, Mother Yan smiled smugly.
“Once we get to the city, your sister-in-law will teach Xingguo the skills, and you can work as his assistant. You'll be able to earn a lot of money every month then, so why would you care about this little bit of money?”
Yan's youngest daughter-in-law's complexion returned to normal, and she felt energetic again. Thinking about how she could earn several hundred yuan a month in the future, she couldn't help but smile.
But then he thought about it again and spoke up.
"Mom, that sounds nice, but what if my sister-in-law doesn't want to?"
"If she dares to disobey, I'll ruin her business. I'll spread rumors everywhere that she's unfilial to her elders and that there's something wrong with the meat in her buns. Let's see who dares to buy her buns then."
Mother Yan said dismissively, figuring that Si Yan wouldn't dare disobey her.
Yan Xue breathed a sigh of relief as she watched everyone turn their attention to Si Yan.
I need to hurry home. I just promised to give my mother over two hundred yuan, but what am I going to do with the money? My husband doesn't even know about this yet.
The Yan family's affairs have come to a temporary end, but Si Yan has already taken on another business order.
"What? You want me to cook at the big boss's house?"
"Yes, the boss was very impressed with you last time, thinking you were a great cook. This time he's hosting an important banquet for guests and hopes you can cook two meals. The fee will be three times what it was last time."
The principal personally came to invite us, bringing fruit with him, which showed his great sincerity.
"Okay, I'll post a notice on that day saying we'll be closed for a day."
"That's good. Boss Si, then it'll be up to you then."
Si Yan thought that with this money she could start making some other food.
When the Yan family arrived at the steamed bun shop early, they found it empty, and their faces turned ugly.
Looking at the notice on the wall, he decided to stay at Yan Xue's house for one night and then come to find Si Yan the next day.
Meanwhile, Si Yan was already at the high-ranking leader's house.
