Chapter 121 I Want to Bully Her
Li Yujiao simply got up from the bed again.
"Where are you going?" Jing Qishan asked.
"Go eat the buns!"
"It's so late, don't go."
"I suddenly feel a little hungry." She touched her stomach.
Jing Qishan had no choice but to follow her.
Li Yujiao lit a lantern and went into the kitchen, taking the two buns out of the pot.
She has always been a polite person and knows the importance of providing emotional value to others, so she praised the bun: "This bun is so skillfully made. Look at the folds on the top that look like flower petals. If you don't know, you would think it was made by a street craftsman."
Jing Qishan did not express his opinion, but in fact his anger had completely subsided.
Li Yujiao took another bite of the bun, chewed it for a few times and said, "It's delicious. It tastes better than the ones sold in restaurants. Jing Qishan, are you lying to me? You bought this, right? Who would only make a few buns? People usually make a whole basket."
“I ate the rest.”
Jing Qishan was delighted, but he still looked arrogant and indifferent: "Eat quickly, and go back to sleep after eating!"
The buns alone were too dry, so Li Yujiao drank up the bowl of porridge and ate the two buns.
After eating, I asked him, "It's so delicious, when will you make it again?"
"It depends on my mood!" Jing Qishan looked at her standing by the stove, the light of the lantern reflected on her face, which was red.
"Then I look forward to your good mood." She smiled at him.
Jing Qishan was stunned for a moment, then he also laughed.
In his previous life, he had heard countless compliments and been flattered by countless people in various ways, but his heart had never been so satisfied.
"I'm full, let's go back to sleep." Li Yujiao said.
Then she took up the lantern and went back to the room with him.
Jing Qishan suddenly wanted to chat with her, just chat about what he had eaten and who he had met during this period, even if it was just nonsense.
However, she was so sleepy that she didn't move after crawling into the quilt.
When he took off his shoes and went up to take a look, she was already asleep.
Jing Qishan couldn't help but feel disappointed again.
The words of praise she had just said to him were all perfunctory.
I really want to wake her up right now and bully her severely so that she will be helpless.
……
After the main store of "Jiaojiao Food Shop" became popular, naturally many people wanted to follow suit and open one.
At this time, Li Yujiao launched a chain franchise business. As long as money was paid, one could open a chain store. The head office would provide semi-finished products, and the branches would open their own stores and bear their own operating losses.
Anyone who wants to open a store must sign an agreement and meet certain qualifications. For example, the store cannot be opened in a remote neighborhood, the decoration must be neat and clean, and the soup ingredients, sweet potato noodles and rice noodles must be provided by the head office.
As a result, the demand for raw materials increased significantly, which also boosted the income of nearby farmers who grew sweet potatoes and peanuts.
There are not only peanuts and sweet potatoes, but also wood ear mushrooms from the mountains, and farmers picking snails by the river.
Li Yujiao has also contributed a small amount to boosting the surrounding economy.
……
Spring passed by and summer came in the blink of an eye.
The atmosphere in Mr. Li's house is still so gloomy.
Because of what Li Yu'e did last year, the family had to save charcoal in the winter, and the servants' wages were deducted in various ways. They were supposed to cut summer clothes at the end of April, but this year they didn't.
Not only do we wear last year's winter clothes, but we also wear last year's summer clothes.
The masters of the house were fine, as they had everything they needed every day. But the servants had to do dirty and tiring work every day, so their clothes were in tatters and they could only wear them after mending them.
When the servants go out to buy something, they just say they are from Mr. Li's family, and everyone is polite to them, right?
But now they are dressed so poorly that people who deal with them don’t even smile at them.
Li Yu'e's sisters-in-law were also very resentful.
Today, Li's second sister-in-law took her child back to her parents' home, saying that she had no money to buy milk for the child.
Mr. Li tried to stop her: "Since you have married into our Li family, you will be a member of our family in life and a ghost of our family in death. When our family is rich, you will enjoy the good life with us. When our family is poor, you should follow us through the hard times!"
Li's second sister-in-law said disdainfully: "Father, you are not ashamed to say this. Isn't it your daughter who is the only one who enjoys the best food and drinks every day? Last year, I used all the family savings to open a restaurant for your daughter, but the restaurant didn't work out and I lost all the money.
Later, we finally collected some shop rent, but before it was distributed to each room, your daughter took it to the restaurant to eat and drink, and even caused trouble in the restaurant, causing a sensation in the city. How much did we, the daughters-in-law, get?"
Mr. Li's face turned red.
Madam Li hurried over to dissuade him: "The second son's child is only one year old. If you take him back to your parents' home, others will laugh at you!"
The second sister-in-law sneered, "What a joke! My brother is in poor health, and we just need a boy to inherit the family property. My father even plans to change his grandson's surname."
After speaking, he left without hesitation.
Mr. Li and his wife couldn't stop him even if they wanted to.
"His father, are we spoiling E'er too much?" Mrs. Li asked crying.
Mr. Li could only lament, "Parents are kind-hearted people all over the world. We just felt sorry for E'er who had lived in the countryside for so many years and wanted to make it up to her, but we messed up."
Madam Li wiped her tears and said, "If only I hadn't sent Yujiao to the countryside, I heard that the noodle shop she opened is making a lot of money now. There are more than a dozen noodle shops in Rongcheng now, all relying on her craftsmanship."
Mr. Li sighed and said, "Who could have thought of that? Yujiao hates us so much now that she doesn't want to talk to us at all."
"This is really a sin. I raised two daughters, and neither of them is a good one!" Mrs. Li cried.
Li Yu'e heard everything they said.
She had been watching from behind since her second sister-in-law started making a fuss about leaving.
Now she heard her own parents say bad things about her, and her heart sank.
She returned to her boudoir angrily and smashed the teacup on the table to the ground.
Xiaomiao came quickly to clean up.
Li Yu'e cried and said, "My life has been taken away by Li Yujiao. She has been living a life of luxury since she was a child, and she can read and write. I can't read a single word, so how can I compare with her?"
"I just caused the family to lose some money, but my parents said this to me. If they had protected me when I was a child, would I have been kidnapped to the countryside?
If I hadn't been kidnapped to the countryside, I would be the one making the most money now!"
Xiaomiao cleaned up silently without saying anything.
She didn't understand how to make money, but she knew one thing: if you can't read, you should learn to read. She, a maid, could recognize a lot of words. Li Yu'e had been back for so long, but she couldn't even tell the difference between wine and liquor.
Li Yu'e cried for a long time, and suddenly said: "I want to join Li Yujiao's noodle shop!"
