61 Chapter 61 Conspiracy
The following day, after eating breakfast, Mrs. Yao put on the silver hairpin she had just bought a few days ago and went out to find Mrs. Liu, who was drying the blankets in the courtyard. She bobbed her head and said, “Sister-in-law, do you think my silver hairpin looks good?”
Mrs. Liu glanced at it and said, “I was the one who picked it for you. Why are you still asking me that?”
Then, she patted the blanket.
“Look at my memory. How could I have forgotten about this?” Mrs. Yao said annoyedly, but it quickly turned into a face of showing off.
After Mrs. Liu noticed something was wrong, she turned her head to look at her and just happened to see her showing off. Her face suddenly sank, but she no longer paid attention to her and pretended not to see it, busy with the work in her hands.
She thought, “Isn’t it just a silver hairpin? What’s there to show off? In the past, it was something that I bestowed on my servants.”
But…
When she thought of the wooden hairpin on her head, she was really envious.
However, she had to save money for her children’s wedding, so she didn’t dare squander it. She wanted to give Mrs. Yao a kick when she thought of this.
When Mrs. Yao saw Mrs. Liu’s dark face, she knew that Mrs. Liu’s heart was unhappy and that she had poked at her sore spot.
She was overjoyed. After all, their second family branch had finally suppressed the first branch.
“Sister-in-law, do you really want to live your life like this?” Mrs. Yao asked.
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look at her vigilantly. “What do you want to do?”
“What else can I do? We all know how much money our family earns every month. I’m afraid we don’t even have enough money to buy food at the end of the month, let alone other things.
“If we want to live a good life, we have to find a way to earn more money. I remember that little sis-in-law likes to enjoy white mushroom soup, but you don’t even have the money to enjoy it even once since we came back.” Mrs. Yao said with a smile.
After Mrs. Liu heard it, she finally understood what she meant. Mrs. Yao was goading her to find Gu Chengrui and his wife to find ways to earn money.
However, she was not stupid. Through her son’s analysis, she knew Gu Chengrui was no longer a stubborn donkey with no one to rely on. She couldn’t do much.
“From what you’re saying, do you have a good idea?”
“Doesn’t Chengrui already have one?”
“Chengrui is different now, and I don’t want to make a joke of myself in the village. If you want to go, you can go by yourself. I’m not going. ”
When Mrs. Yao heard this, she was shocked. Before, Mrs. Liu had almost taken the lives of the young couple. Why had she suddenly changed her tone now?
Was it also because of Gu Chengrui’s medical skills?
However, even if she changed now, the couple might not necessarily forgive what she had done in the past.
Even though she looked down on Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Yao still had to make use of her. Otherwise, how would she get her cakes, beef, and mutton?
Suddenly, the sound of a hen laying eggs could be heard. She immediately turned her head and looked at the next door unhappily.
“I heard that Sixth Aunt would go to the haystack at the village entrance every day to make shoes and bask in the sun.”
After Mrs. Liu heard it, she paused for a moment. She quickly understood what Mrs. Yao meant, that they could ask someone else.
“Do you know how to make shoes?” Mrs. Liu asked.
“Who would…” Mrs. Yao understood the meaning of her words halfway through, and the two went to Mrs. Huang’s room. Each of them found a shoe that had not been completed, took a needle and thread, and left.
However, they didn’t go there directly. Instead, they waited until Sixth Aunt had left and went to her house for confirmation. Only after that did they go to the village entrance after her.
