Sister-in-law Niu is a straightforward person, outspoken and always has a few words to say to those who don't like her.
"Pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, Zheng Guo has married a wife, so don't eat from the bowl and look at what's in the pot. It's too ugly to eat, and no one will be blind."
"When we got engaged, I didn't see you being so diligent when you came here. Zhengguo's leg is just lame, and it's not that he can't work. It's better for you to immediately dislike her and break off the engagement."
"You broke off the engagement, so you have some backbone to save face. Instead, you come here to serve this ex-mother-in-law every day."
"What does Li Min do? Do you want your niece-in-law in the next room to take care of you? Why do you have to put an unfilial hat on the heads of Zheng Guo and Li Min?"
"You are stepping on the shoulders of Zheng Guo and Li Min all the way to show off your ability and kindness, right? Bah!"
"Zheng Guo came down after hunting wild boars, and the scenery has improved. Are you feeling bad? Are you looking for trouble?"
"So what if those pumpkins are all given to the Li family? Doesn't the Li family count as a poor household in our production team?"
"The wild boar that Jungkook shot hasn't been divided yet, and you're eyeing pumpkins again. Can you correct the problem of eating from the bowl and looking at the pot? If I give you a pumpkin, you can eat with peace of mind?"
"That's right. You don't care about Zheng Guo and Li Min's reputation and come to serve your ex-mother-in-law every day. How can you still have uneasy conscience?"
Sister-in-law Niu spoke quickly and fired a blast like a machine gun. Those who heard it needed to calm down in their minds before they could react.
Two seconds later, everyone burst into laughter.
It's just that, with wild boar meat, no one takes those pumpkins seriously. No matter how sweet they are, they don't have the flavor of pork.
The Li family is sick and disabled, shouldn't it be taken care of? Not to mention that Zhengguo even killed a wild boar and handed it over.
Zhang Fangcao's face was so dark that ink was dripping from it, "Sister-in-law Niu, you bully me too much. Do you want to force me to death?"
"What's wrong with me just bullying you?" Sister-in-law Niu doesn't care about her behavior at all. Isn't it right for her to fight against injustice?
"At least I'm bullying you openly. No, I'm not even bullying you. I'm just telling the truth. It's not as good as your evil and sinister tricks behind the scenes."
"Forcing you to death? What if you die and Aunt Li can't live without you as her loving niece-in-law?"
"Hmph, no matter how kind and righteous you are, you are compared to being extremely ugly in front of Zheng Guo's beautiful little daughter-in-law. If you are ugly, you will be ugly everywhere."
"My beautiful little daughter-in-law has been here for three days and she has never heard any noise. It's not like some people who brought her family to Li's house every day to make noise after Zheng Guo became lame."
"I feel ashamed to say it, but the person who did this still told others: 'I don't want it either, it's what my parents and brother meant.'"
"Don't want to? Don't want to, as a wife, do you have more say than in your mother's family? That's more eyes than a sieve."
"Let's go and watch the pig slaughter. Instead of watching her show here, why don't we die if we can? If she was really willing to die, she should have died when she said her family forced her to break off the engagement. She was just hypocritical.
"
After Sister-in-law Niu bombarded Zhang Fangcao again, she took her beloved daughters-in-law and left.
Because of Zhang Fangcao's words, those who stopped to watch the excitement also chuckled a few times and left.
Only Zhang Fangcao, with an ugly face, was left standing at the edge of the private plot in front of Li's house.
Zhang Fangcao put on a heartbroken expression again and said to Li Min, who was still a little confused, "Are you satisfied? Are you satisfied seeing me being humiliated?"
After saying that, he covered his mouth and ran away crying.
Li Min turned to look at Tian Jing mechanically, "What's wrong with me?"
"Haha." Tian Jing just gave her these two words. What happened? Someone dumped her again.
However, he became interested in the sister-in-law Niu. In the memory of the original owner, he also had some impression of the sister-in-law Niu. She was a person who dared to speak and act, and also a person who dared to take action.
Otherwise, her mouth would provoke others everywhere and still not be torn apart?
Mother Li sighed, with her daughter's modest deeds, no wonder she had been deceived by Zhang Fangcao for several years?
After Zheng Guo's engagement was annulled, he still put in good words for Zhang Fangcao in front of Zheng Guo.
"Minmin, think about the past for yourself, think about it carefully, and then think about her final exit. If you can learn even half of what she did, you should be able to be like a fish in water in the Tian family."
Li Min lowered his head and said nothing, as if thinking.
Tian Jing didn't bother her, pulled the kudzu vine and started picking the rhizomes at the base of the vine.
"Tiantian." Mother Li was surprised, "What's the use of picking this root-like thing?"
"This is edible, but it's a bit troublesome. It takes a day or two to prepare and dry it for a few days before the flour is ready."
"This powder can be directly cooked with boiling water and drunk, or you can stir some into the sweet potato porridge water."
"The sweet potato porridge water every day is as thin as water. After stirring it in, it will become sticky. It can also be used as glutinous rice flour to make pumpkin cakes with pumpkin."
Tian Jing's words made Li Min stop thinking. In short, she just knew what kind of person Zhang Fangcao was.
From now on, she can just stay away from her. Now, she must think about the issue of food.
"Sister-in-law, dear sister-in-law, please teach me, teach me. I have skills and abilities, and I can live a good life in the Tian family, right?"
"That's okay." Tian Jing originally planned to teach her, but she didn't want to do the hard work by herself.
"Peel these rhizomes, wash them, cut them into small pieces, wash them again, put them into a stone mortar and mash them into a paste. Soak the paste in water and filter the residue."
"After the water after filtering the residue has settled overnight, pour out the water on the surface, and what remains is wet starch. The wet starch is then dried into dry starch, which can be collected and eaten slowly."
"It doesn't sound difficult. Let's do it in the afternoon. Now we'll peel it." Li Min was very motivated.
"Do you have a stone mortar at home?" Tian Jing asked about the main tool.
"Yes, it's under the firewood pile in the corner of the kitchen. When my brother comes back, ask him to dig it out." Li Min had already started peeling it with nimble hands and feet.
Tian Jing picked up the hatchet and whittled it slowly. While whittling, she told Li Min about the Tian family and how she should deal with everyone in the Tian family.
"The most cunning one is Old Man Tian. If you have any strategies that you can contribute, such as the method of making this kudzu root, you must go through him first."
"Let him see your value, and then listen to his instructions and arrangements. Let him see that you are a capable person. As long as he doesn't look down on you, your status in the Tian family will not be low."
"But, but." Li Min hesitated, "This kudzu powder is your method."
"Don't worry, the Tian family doesn't know, I didn't tell them." Tian Jing thought that Li Min was afraid that this plan would become a mastermind.
"No, that's not what I meant." Li Min shook the kudzu rhizome in his hand, "Isn't this your secret recipe?"
"It doesn't count." What's the secret recipe for something that will be made all over the street in the future?
"Since I said that, I agree with you to use it, and it doesn't matter if it is passed on. I mean, if Mr. Tian takes this and hands it over to the production team, it doesn't matter, as long as it is beneficial to you."
"Sister-in-law~" Li Minmin was so moved that she burst into tears, "You are so kind to me. I was unreasonable before, so I'm sorry."
