Xia Dingfeng lay on the bed weakly. The two brothers conspired to plot against Xia Qianqian, but ended up scheming Xia Dingfeng instead. Looking at Xia Dinghai, nothing happened.
Seeing her husband suffer so much injustice, Yang felt very uncomfortable and couldn't help but vent her anger on Xia Dinghai: "Second brother, why don't you pretend to be paralyzed yourself? Why do you have to let my husband do it?"
Xia Dinghai looked at his brother's pitiful appearance and felt helpless: "How could I have known that Xia Qianqian would be so cunning?"
"She has always been very cunning. I suspect that you, my second brother, are bullying an honest person." Yang said angrily, "Look at how my husband has been tortured today."
"Alas, Third Brother, I'm sorry for putting you through this." Xia Dinghai sighed and patted Xia Dingfeng on the shoulder, "I'll give you an extra ounce of silver this month."
Xia Dingfeng's eyes lit up: "Only one or two?"
"That's right. I also gave Shanshan five taels of silver to buy clothes and makeup!" said Yang.
Xia Dinghai gritted his teeth and said, "Two taels!"
Yang was reluctantly satisfied and winked at Xia Dingfeng: "Husband, does your foot hurt? You can't work these days, right?"
"It hurts. I feel weak all over and I feel like my feet can't touch the ground." Xia Dingfeng put it on immediately.
Xia Dinghai knew he was pretending, but there was nothing he could do. After all, this matter really screwed Xia Dingfeng. Thinking about the needles on Xia Dingfeng's feet, Xia Dinghai felt that two taels of silver was a bargain. He said generously: "Anyway, winter is coming soon and business is not good, so you can take a few days off."
"Brother, you have worked hard to make tiles by yourself. If you can, bring sister-in-law with you to help you." Xia Dingfeng said.
Xia Dinghai nodded, and the two brothers resolved the matter peacefully.
The one who benefited the most was Xia Qianqian. Not only did she take the opportunity to punish Xia Dingfeng, but she also got two pieces of tofu. It had been a long time since Xia Qianqian had eaten spicy tofu, and she was craving for it. As soon as she got home, she started looking for seasonings to prepare to stir-fry spicy tofu.
We have chili peppers, peppercorns and sauce, but we’re missing the main ingredient: minced meat.
"Qianqian, what are you looking for?" Qin asked.
"Meat." Xia Qianqian blurted out.
Qin was stunned for a moment, then said distressedly: "Qianqian, our family can't eat meat yet. But we can eat tofu today."
Originally, Qin wanted to pickle these two pieces of tofu and mix them with porridge or cold rice to last for half a year. Now that Qianqian was so greedy, she agreed to stir-fry the tofu tonight.
"Just make do with it. When I have money in the future, I will eat meat every day! I want braised pork!" Xia Qianqian rolled up her sleeves and started to cook dinner. When she mentioned braised pork, she thought of Gu Yanjing.
That guy must be enjoying a good life now. Maybe the beautiful woman who took his hand has even taken over the position of Madam Gu... Ah! How could she be so stupid to give up her happy life to others in vain!
The more Xia Qianqian thought about it, the more excited she became, and she pounded the chilies and peppercorns faster and faster.
"ah!"
The stone stick hit her hand, causing Xia Qianqian to scream in pain.
Qin was horrified: "Qianqian, what's wrong with you?"
"Nothing. It's just retribution." Xia Qianqian pouted pitifully. Everything she experienced now was retribution for getting a divorce!
"Qianqian, are you really okay?" Qin was still worried, "Why don't you go and rest while I cook."
"No, I'll do it myself." Xia Qianqian blew on her fingers, added oil to the heated pan, and stir-fried the pounded seasonings. She then put the tofu in and quickly chopped it into small pieces with a spatula and stir-fried it. The rich aroma wafted in the wind.
