o eat. Perhaps they hoped to finish their meal early and return to school.Li Laosan saw this and quickly boiled water for tea, but the canteen only had two sets of teacups.You can make multiple trips...Mrs. Zhou sat on the seat by the door, not daring to lift her head at all.

When Tao Hong first arrived, she brushed past those cold stares with such ease. I really wish time could rewind so I could tell her to hold back then...

Too much to handle, too much!

As the sun began to set, everyone said their goodbyes.

When they got into the carriage and left the street, Liu's wife grabbed Tao Hongying's hand and exclaimed repeatedly, "Hongying, you are simply amazing!"

"From now on, you won't need me to accompany you anymore. With so many people around earlier, I'm afraid everyone with an issue would come to you for a drink! "

"How come I didn't notice this before You're so quick-witted! If Mrs. Wu were a few years older, I'm afraid you'd have killed her with your words!"

Tao Hongying sighed, taking Liu's hand and saying, "Sister-in-law, I used to always feel that I came from a low background, hadn't read much, and didn't know the rules. I was afraid of being laughed at when I went out to socialize."

"So, I hid away, cooking at home and occasionally going to the tavern. Life was carefree. But later, when someone wanted to harm Fu Niuer, I couldn't help her at all. That's when I realized how useless I truly am!"

Today I gathered my courage and took a gamble, only to find that those lofty nobles are no different from the barking village dogs in our town.

"When I really wield the stick and hit them, they get scared, drop a bone, and they can even smile at me with glee!"

She unconsciously lifted her chin and said to Mrs. Liu, and even more so to herself: "Since I've figured it out, I can also have them dancing around me from now on, and I won't be a deaf and blind person anymore!"

"That's right!" Mrs. Liu was overjoyed and patted Tao Hongying heavily.

She actually understood Tao Hongying too well. Even though she came from a good family and became the mistress of the house after marriage, constantly socializing and attending events could be intimidating at times.

Tao Hongying, a farmer's wife, suddenly had to put on a smile and navigate among a group of condescending noble ladies, which was no easy feat.

Luckily, Tao Hongying felt like she had opened up her two main energy channels today!

As expected, if you don't control a child who doesn't listen to their parents, even rabbits will start biting!

The carriage first sent Mrs. Liu home, then left the city and returned to Suijintan.

Half a mile from her own yard, Tao Hongying could smell the aroma of barbecued food and couldn't help but chatter with Lin Mama and Xia Qing.

"It must be my prodigal daughter concocting something to eat again. She just finished preparing that barbecue sauce a few days ago, and she's been complaining about the cumin in the noodles being delicious, afraid I would spoil it. In the end, she uses it liberally herself!"

"Grandma Lin smiled and said, "The young masters love grilled skewers. I wonder if they are back today"

The county princess is the best to the young master and them, even using up all the barbecue seasoning isn't for herself!

Tao Hongying also laughed, being happy that her own children had a good relationship. This is what the whole family wanted to see.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the door. As soon as Tao Hongying entered, she saw a bonfire burning in the center of the courtyard. Her beloved daughter was rolling up her sleeves and sprinkling seasoning on the half-cooked roasted whole lamb.

Occasionally, a bit of food would fall into the hot coals and be quickly burned to ashes, intensifying the aroma.

At this time of year, mutton is the most tender and fatty, with oil constantly dripping...

The little star was squatting beside the bonfire, his chubby face flushed red from the heat, drooling uncontrollably. He would occasionally raise his head to glance at the door, then dash over with his little fat legs, wrapping his arms around Tao Hongying's thigh and complaining in a sweet voice.

"Great-aunt, Xingxing is hungry! Woo woo, Auntie won't give me the sheep!"

Tao Hongying bent down and picked up her nephew, laughing and coaxing him, "Auntie is so bad! She doesn't even give us stars to feed the sheep"

"Later, Grandmother Four beat her hands, to teach her a lesson."

The little star looked down at his own tiny hands, remembering the last time he lost his temper and hit his grandma. His mother had taken a bamboo stick and beat his small hands until they were red and burning with pain.

He shook his head quickly, hugged Tao Hongying and kissed her repeatedly, whispering, "Grandma Four don't hit me, Auntie can't cook delicious food if her hand hurts!"

"Haha!" Tao Hongying burst into laughter, kissing the chubby boy, "You little heartless one, you've got a heart of a thief!"

Jia Yin heard the noise and saw her mother standing at the door, facing away from the setting sun. The faint glow of the sunset made her smile radiant.

As if the resentment that had been lurking in her mother's eyes and brows for days had finally dissipated.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she cried out in delight, "Mother, you're back!"

"Yes, how did you think of roasting a whole lamb" Tao Hongying hugged Xingxing and asked with a smile.

Jia Yin put down the box of ingredients and said, “With nothing to do, I might as well roast a lamb for Grandpa Zhang to drink with.”

"It's a good day, why don't I prepare some more ingredients Let's have a drink together as a family!"

After finishing her instructions, she called upon Shuǐyún to help keep an eye on the roasting lamb, then giggled and ran off to prepare the rest of the ingredients.

Chicken wings, chicken necks, cicada pupae, freshly made sausages, and shrimp and fish, the more the better.

When Xia Qing saw the county princess passing by, she gave her a wink and hesitated for a moment before following her.

A while later, Jia Yin learned the whole process of how her mother had unleashed her fury.

She truly wished she could hug Mrs. Wu, this enemy of hers, and take a few bites out of her. Thank her for her heartfelt dedication, willing to be a whetstone, finally allowing her own mother to recover her sharp and sassy demeanor.

Life is but a few decades!

It's just about getting revenge!

The Li family cannot deal with the Wu family for now because they need to find an opportunity to eliminate them completely.

Though we meet on a narrow road, fiercely slashing a few times, it's good to vent!

Shui Ling was originally wiping drool while helping to pass the ingredients, but suddenly she was sent to the city to deliver a message by her master. She was still reluctant to leave.

Only when the master promised to give her five of her most beloved chicken necks did she leave in a hurry.

When the sun had completely set and it was pitch black, not only Li Lao Er returned from the city, but also Li Zhensheng and Mr. Wen, accompanied by Jia Ren and Mao Ge'er, came back too.

Two bonfires crackled in Li's courtyard, illuminating the surrounding area like daylight.

The smell of roasted lamb wafted throughout the entire village.

The mischievous boy, unable to resist temptation, wandered outside the door.

Tao Hongying gave them a plate of chicken wings and sent them to the school to deliver a skewer of grilled meat to Mr. Chiang.

The village head, Uncle Zhao, and several other old men, including Liu the鏢頭 (escorts), were also invited over.

Tonight, the host Zhang Shenyi was sitting grandly right in front of the roasted lamb, with a careless expression on his face but his eyes constantly fixed on the roast.

Only when Jiayin personally cut a leg of lamb and placed it before him did he, with a proud nod, betray his delight by the twitching of his beard.

Before Li Lao Er returned, he urgently arranged for people to add fuel to the fire of Guijiuye's scandal.

At this moment, everyone was gathered together, eating and drinking, and naturally they had to chat.

Only then did Li Laotai and the others realize that Tao Hongying had displayed great power today, and they were both amazed and delighted.

"Yes, that's right! Who cares who her mother is, she deserves to be scolded!"

"Just that, if you have the ability to properly discipline your son, don't get caught with your tail between your legs!"

This family, none of them are good. I don't know how they chose the daughter from their family to be the queen!

It is said that the Empress Dowager personally selected the emperor from a group of beautiful women.

“Oh…no wonder! Who else would be so caring if they weren't a biological mother!”s together and silently chanted the Buddha's name.The rest were also astonished. Just now, the county princess had randomly slapped a few times, and the maidservant woke up. They all thought it was a...
