Chapter 64 Dagger

Yan Xuehuai accompanied Li Qiniang back home. Seeing that the shop was cleaned up inside and outside, Lu Ying'er was wiping the long table for selling rice at the door.

"Do you do business at noon?" Li Qiniang asked in surprise.

Lu Ying'er felt a little embarrassed: "There is no fried rice, only rice and buns. What I made is not as delicious as the boss's wife, and it has not been sold out."

There was still some leftovers for cooking. Li Qiniang picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, nodded: "It's not bad. From tomorrow, you can go to the stove together."

Lu Ying'er was stunned and shook her head: "I'd better take action..."

Yan Xuehuai laughed: "It's either you are the chef or when my mother is too busy, you can take over the boss."

Lu Ying'er quickly looked at Li Qiniang, and Li Qiniang smiled and nodded: "Sister Huai'er is right. If I can't get busy, you can go."

"Okay", Lu Ying'er focused her head, turned around and ran outside, "I'll boil water, you guys should wash it well and go to teach you the air."

When the mother and daughter finished washing, Lu Ying'er had already cooked two bowls of noodles. The snow-white noodles were poured with toppings made of shredded black fungus, a few chopped green onions were sprinkled on one bowl, and a layer of coriander was spread on the other bowl.

Yan Xuehuai picked up the green bowl and ate half a bowl in one breath. When she looked up, she saw Li Qiniang eating slowly and casually. She turned her head over: "Mom, have you decided? Should we run away with the money or ask someone to rob?"

Li Qiniang put down the bowl: "Please rob?"

"Well, even if the yamen doesn't say it, the Yan family will not let us go. They will definitely spread everywhere and say that we have ten thousand taels of silver in our hands."

It is a chaotic world now, let alone 10,000 taels. If someone knows that their mother and daughter have 1,000 taels of silver, they will not sleep peacefully.

Li Qiniang didn't say anything, quietly finished the noodles in the bowl and said to Yan Xuehuai: "Go to Yaxing tomorrow to ask if there are any smaller houses nearby. This place only does business in the future, so don't live in people."

Yan Xuehuai also thought so. She wanted to hire two more people, preferably men.

Li Qiniang said to Yan Xuehuai and Lu Ying'er: "The neighbors have helped this matter today. We will not do business in the evening. We should have invited all the neighbors to have a meal, but we only have four tables and can't sit still. Master Li must invite him, so he invited Brother Zhang Wu and Sister Zhang Wu to accompany him. They are our family. In addition, the second shopkeeper of the pharmacy shop and the master of the lacquer ware shop, and the big shopkeepers of these two families are also invited. Now there is no time to steam the buns, so I will make meat pies and you will send them to you."

Yan Xuehuai immediately ran out to treat her house, while Lu Ying'er helped Li Qiniang chop the meat filling. While the shops were not closed, the meat pies were baked one after another. Lu Ying'er and Yan Xuehuai delivered meat pies from house to house, saying baskets of thanks, walking from the street to the end of the street, after the meat pies were delivered, Lu Ying'er returned to Li Shiji to help. Yan Xuehuai gave the last meat pie to Mrs. Ye along with the white porridge contained in a casserole.

Mrs. Ye had already heard about Li Shiji at the tea stall. When Yan Xue was pregnant, Mrs. Ye ignored her and said, "Mo Yu would like to greet her."

Today, Mrs. Ye looked at her a few more times and asked, "Why didn't the Yan family want you?"

Mo Yu was so anxious that he winked. The old lady said something badly, and Mo Yu was afraid that Yan Xuehuai would be unhappy if she was thin-skinned.

Yan Xuehuai didn't think there was anything wrong with this. She smiled and said, "The Yan family didn't like me either. Besides, I'm not a male. Actually, I wish they didn't want me."

Old Mrs. Ye snorted coldly: "Silly!"

Yan Xuehuai was stunned, pointed at her nose and asked, "Am I stupid? I don't think so."

Mrs. Ye sighed: "No matter how the Yan family treats you, it will be your parents' home. In two or three years, you will discuss kinship. Women without their parents' home will be looked down upon in their husband's home."

Yan Xuehuai smiled and said, "My mother is no longer in the Yan family, and the Yan family is not my parents' home. If it is because of this, the husband's family will look down on me, then I will simply not marry. It would be great if I live with my mother."

Mrs. Ye frowned when she heard this: "Why is it so easy for a woman to support her family business? The child is too childish."

Yan Xuehuai wants to say that you have been with you for so many years?

However, she didn't want Mrs. Ye to remember the sad things, so she forced herself to say nothing.

"Tonight, my shop will not do business and invite the neighbors to dinner. We invited this meal and will not be recorded in the account." Yan Xuehuai said to Mo Yu.

Mo Yu hurriedly thanked and whispered when he sent Yan Xuehuai out: "The old lady is a knife-like and a slander. She is still worried about you today. Don't think that the old lady is not good at speaking."

"It's okay." Yan Xuehuai smiled and called out. She wasn't you polite, she really didn't think anything was there.

Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief and kindly reminded: "The Yan family will not give up. Be careful and look forward to the portal tonight."

Yan Xuehuai thanked her and said, "I will go to Yaxing to find a house tomorrow. In the future, the shop will be a shop, and the family will be separated."

"Yes, that's the reason." Mo Yu agreed.

After staying at Mrs. Ye for a while, Yan Xuehuai walked out of the persimmon Hu and found that it was already dark.

With the last experience, Yan Xuehuai was particularly alert.

She asked Sun Sheng to buy her a dagger. Every day when she came to deliver meals to Mrs. Ye, she would hide the dagger on her body.

Usually she hid the dagger in the makeup box, and Li Qiniang never moved her things, so even Li Qiniang did not discover this dagger.

Yan Xuehuai held the food box in one hand, huddled in her sleeve with the other hand, and walked forward with big strides.

As soon as she walked out of the Vinaigrette and turned a corner, she noticed someone following her behind.

She pretended not to notice and continued to walk forward. Not far ahead was the big willow tree. She held the dagger tightly and was always ready to turn around and strike.

But until she walked past the big willow tree, crossed an intersection, and went to Huichang Street, the person following behind did not catch up.

Standing on Huichang Street, Yan Xuehuai could see two big lanterns hanging in front of Li Shiji's door. She felt relieved and suddenly turned around. There was no one behind her.

Li Shi Ji was very lively, and everyone he wanted to invite came. Seeing her coming back, Zhang Wu's sister-in-law called her over cordially, pointed at her and said to an old lady, "Auntie, this is Miss Li's daughter."

Yan Xuehuai knew that the old lady was Li Zhengye’s wife. She quickly called her grandma obediently. The old lady patted her hands and said, “You must be filial to your mother in the future. Your mother’s life is hard, and it’s really not easy for her.”

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said, "This child is diligent and obedient. Like her mother, she is also a capable person."

The old lady glanced at Zhang Wusao meaningfully, and Zhang Wusao immediately replied with a look that you understand and I understand.
