Tang Ningning cleaned up the dirty things on the floor, supported her waist, and said, "You have to learn something after all, and you can't just play around at home all the time. Ge'er doesn't reject it. You see, she is finding happiness in the herb field."

Where can I be happy? Gu Yan complained silently.

"You are talented in cooking, and you often help in the kitchen. Mom plans to help you run a good business, so that you can stand on your own in the future and become a strong woman."

Although this era is very unfriendly to businessmen.

But I can't afford to have too much money. If the business is booming and it gets bigger and bigger, I'm sure I won't be able to become a royal merchant.

Money is king.

"Mom, what is a strong woman?"

Tang Ningning pinched Gu Yan's cheek and said with a smile, "She is a very powerful and capable woman. My mother's Yan'er can definitely do it."

Gu Ge paid homage to her master, made a toast, and was about to stay in the peach blossom forest. She was very sad, curled her lips, ignored Tang Ningning, and squatted alone in the herb field without saying a word, her eyes a little red.

"Don't worry and go. Remember to bring me food tomorrow." Hu Shizhen lay on the rocking chair in the yard again, swaying.

Tang Ningning looked at Tang An'an who was exercising and turned away with some relief. Then she looked at Gu Ge who ignored her and sighed.

She walked to the herb field and shouted, "Ge'er, mother is leaving."

Ignore people.

"Ge'er, you have to be obedient. Mom will bring Xiaobai over to accompany you tomorrow."

"Mom, you're lying." Gu Ge turned around, his eyes slightly red.

A pair of big, bulging eyes were full of fear and reluctance.

Tang Ningning immediately softened her heart, but she knew she couldn't be soft-hearted.

She pulled Gu Ge over comfortingly and said, "Ge'er, when you grow up, you should study medicine with your master. When you finish your studies, you can go home. This place is not far from home. My mother comes to bring you food every day.

eat."

"But, mother, I'm scared to be alone."

Yes, the child is still so young.

"Gu Ge, you are still not a man of character. You are so old. What are you afraid of? There are wolves in the mountains that will harass you?"

Hu Shizhen couldn't stand hearing it anymore and wanted to expel him.

Gu Ge's mouth bulged and he said angrily, "Whoever is afraid, I'm not afraid."

"Ge'er, uncle is here too, don't be afraid, your mother will come to see you every day." Tang Anan came over with a cane and touched Gu Ge's head.

Gu Ge opened his eyes and looked up at Tang An'an, nodding secretly.

Her uncle is here, so she is not afraid.

-----

In the past few days, Tang Ningning was busy building a house, and at the same time she had to deliver food to Hu Shizhen every day. Her good craftsmanship always made the chefs next door greedy.

Especially Craftsman Yang, who was familiar with her, often came to ask her questions.

Tang Ningning then thought that she had to cook anyway, so she just did it.

Now, Widow Luo and Sister-in-law Wang have become helpers, responsible for washing vegetables, cutting vegetables.

"Ning Ning, you are really good at cooking. I have gained several pounds by eating your cooking every day." Sister-in-law Wang looked at the boiled fish in the pot and swallowed greedily.

It's a joke to say that such a big man is still greedy.

"Where are you fat? I look at it. It's not fat at all." No matter what age, women always think that others call them fat.

Tang Ningning understands this principle well.

"She has a sweet mouth. I think she is indeed fat." Widow Luo took out all the steamed buns from the pot and placed them on the sticky board.

The hot steamed buns that were just out of the pot gave off the aroma, attracting people passing by to take a look. Ever since the house was built, villagers often passed by here intentionally or unintentionally. Looking at the big house that was about to be completed, they came in with sour eyes to talk about it.

sentence.

After being scolded by Widow Luo several times, fewer people came.

No, Caihuahua is here again, and she has brought Yao family with her.

Mrs. Yao was a young daughter-in-law who had just married into Dayue Village. She didn't know why she got involved with Niu Caihua.

"Ms. Tang, you said last time that I was not good enough and didn't want me to help. This time, I brought you a beauty. She's the one who cooks and cleans. Take a look."

Tang Ningning raised her eyes and looked over. Yao was fair and somewhat reserved, smiling shyly at her.

It's hard to explain, but Tang Ningning just doesn't like her.

Moreover, what if the masters were instigated by Niu Caihua to do something bad and add some rat poison, and the masters ate it?

Two days ago, people in the village were jealous of Wang's sister-in-law who came here to help out. She could make money and eat meat. They clamored to come to help. Tang Ningning relented and left two of them behind. Something happened at night.

When she got up and entered the space, she found the broken laxatives on the chopping board. She couldn't eat the marinated meat in the pot, so she threw it all away the next day.

Fortunately, she didn't add any medicine to the braised soup, otherwise she wouldn't be able to use it when she opened a restaurant in the future. What a good braised soup.

I didn’t know who they were, so they all resigned. The two people were quite complaining and said bad things about her in the village.

"Niu Caihua, you are really licking your face. What happened last time, we all told you that we no longer need helpers, why are you making trouble again?" Widow Luo picked up a basin of water and poured it.

past.

The two were so frightened that they quickly got out of the way, only to see Widow Luo pouring water into the yard.

Yao's face turned ugly and he stepped aside.

Tang Ningning glanced at him and saw resentment in his eyes as he lowered his head.

"My family is in a bad situation. Zhang Dalang fell ill while working in the mine and came back. The old couple worked hard every day to pay off their previous debts. Why are you so ignorant and want to give others some work?"

Widow Luo wanted to laugh, "Don't come here to sow discord. If the Yao family didn't sell their daughter, Zhang Dalang wouldn't be tired from going to the mines, and the old couple wouldn't have to get up early and stay late. Why are you here crying about being poor?"

Yes, the Yao family lived in Qingzhuang Village. They were in a poor family and had two younger brothers. The old couple of the Yao family asked for twenty taels of bride price. The elder man was originally sick and not good-looking. It was not easy for someone to marry him.

I borrowed and scraped together twenty taels, and then I married my daughter-in-law.

In this day and age, twenty taels is enough for a farmer's family for seven to eight years.

"You ---" Mrs. Yao cried angrily, her delicate little face turned pale, she wiped her tears and ran out, attracting the attention of the people around her.

"Okay, let's get rid of people's anger. Let's see what the people in the village say about you. If you make some money, you won't recognize anyone anymore -" Niu Caihua was about to chase her out.

Widow Luo deliberately angered her and said loudly, "I heard that the girl from the Gu family is unwilling to marry into your family even if she is forced to die. You should worry more about your son."

"You--" Niu Caihua was clumsy and gritted her teeth angrily. Gu Meichun, that cheap girl, got together with her own son, and she even wanted to die without getting married. If she got married, how could she teach her a lesson?

"A widow talks a lot of nonsense."

After scolding, he ran away.

Widow Luo had been talked to so much that she no longer cared and snorted and entered the house.

Witnessing this scene, Sister-in-law Wang was deeply worried, "If you ran out crying, you must have been seen and thought we were bullying someone-"

"No problem." Tang Ningning put the dishes in the dish.

Someone had just arrived, so she covered the rice to save herself from being told a bunch of unpleasant things about having a big dinner and making soup again.
