Xie Jiaojiao looked at Chen Hongju, stared at her with some amusement and said: "Chen Hongju, you are like a weasel wishing a happy new year to a chicken!"

After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she pushed her basket away and said, "As for these things of yours, take them back to where you brought them from. We don't want them!" If someone really came to make peace, he would also remember how many people there are in this family. There are three people, and he is taking two pancakes. Who is he disgusting?

Chen Hongju felt uncomfortable when she heard Xie Jiaojiao's words, but thinking about yesterday...

Chen Hongju suppressed her anger and pretended not to hear what Xie Jiaojiao said. She looked directly at the jar they had just covered and asked, "What are you cooking? Let me see what delicious food you made."

As she was about to open the lid to see what was inside, Xie Jiaojiao slapped her hand. With a "pop" sound, Chen Hongju retracted her hand in pain.

"Xie Jiaojiao, why did you hit someone again!"

Xie Jiaojiao sneered and looked at her: "Are you not pretending anymore? Didn't you call me aunt when you came in just now?"

Chen Hongju immediately put on a smile again: "That's right, sister-in-law, sister-in-law, just take a look at the food you made, just take a look."

"If you dare to put your hand on my jar lid again, I won't mind chopping it off for you!"

Chen Hongju immediately retracted her hand, which she had just extended.

Xie Jiaojiao said to Sun Ruhua, "Mom, take all these jars to the kitchen."

Sun Ruhua didn't even look at Chen Hongju, and immediately left with the jar.

Chen Hongju's eyes were all on the jar. When she saw that the jar was about to be taken away, she immediately said to Sun Ruhua, "Mom, I want to talk to you!"

Sun Ruhua glanced at her. The way she was forced by her half a month ago seemed to be still vivid in her mind.

"I have nothing to say to you."

After Sun Ruhua finished speaking, she took the jar and left.

Chen Hongju wanted to chase after her, but was stopped by Xie Jiaojiao. However, Chen Hongju was sharp-eyed and after scanning the kitchen, she saw the meat hanging on the beam and the basket of eggs on the stove!

I'm just jealous and anxious. They are living such a good life!

Xie Jiaojiao stretched out her hand to stop her and said, "Chen Hongju, I know what you are thinking, but I will definitely not let you have your way. Are you leaving by yourself now? Or do I force you to leave?"

When Xie Jiaojiao said this, Chen Hongju seemed to be seen through and smiled awkwardly: "Aunt, look at what you are saying! We are all family."

"A family? Chen Hongju, are you sure? Have you forgotten that we have already severed our relationship?"

Chen Hongju was speechless.

But he changed his mind and immediately put on a smile: "It's just a matter of one sentence to decide whether to break up or not, isn't it?"

Xie Jiaojiao rolled her eyes, not wanting to continue flirting with her: "Alright, Chen Hongju, stop talking nonsense, just take your things and get out of here!"

Seeing that Xie Jiaojiao was stubborn, Chen Hongju didn't want to pretend anymore: "Xie Jiaojiao, why are you so fashionable! Humph, if not...if not..."

"What else?" Xie Jiaojiao looked at Chen Hongju sarcastically.

Chen Hongju snorted.

"If you didn't see that I made food that could be sold for money, you wouldn't have come to our house and pretended to be nice to us, right?"

"Humph, otherwise, do you think I would come over and pretend to be your grandson?"

After she said this, she looked at Xie Jiaojiao arrogantly, as if she was ready to give more.

Xie Jiaojiao simply threw the basket she brought and everything in it into the yard.

Chen Hongju hurried to pick it up: "Hey, what are you doing?"

While she was picking up her things, Xie Jiaojiao was about to close the door. Chen Hongju immediately ran back and blocked the door: "Hey, aunt, aunt, I don't mean that. I'm here to make peace. We'll see each other every day in this village. It won't be good for you if the relationship becomes strained, right?"

She was leaning against the door while talking, and it seemed like she didn't want Xie Jiaojiao to close the door at all.

Xie Jiaojiao was so angry that she opened the door and kicked her directly. Chen Hongju fell to the ground, covering the place where Xie Jiaojiao kicked her, feeling very painful.

Xie Jiaojiao stood at the door and looked at her: "You and the group of people in the old house are not worthy of sympathy. If you don't leave and keep making trouble here, I don't mind giving you another beating!"

Xie Jiaojiao rolled up her sleeves as she spoke.

Chen Hongju was scared. She didn't care about the pain and got up to run. She was really scared by Xie Jiaojiao's beating. When she ran to the gate of the courtyard, Xie Jiaojiao shouted, "Hey, don't you want your things anymore?"

Chen Hongju ran back and picked up the basket she brought from the ground. She didn’t want to let them get away with it!

He picked it up and glared at Xie Jiaojiao with his teeth bared.

Xie Jiaojiao stood at the door, watching her series of actions, feeling speechless.

Seeing Chen Hongju running away, Sun Ruhua came out of the kitchen with a worried look on her face.

Xie Jiaojiao looked at her and asked, "Mom, I chased you away, why do you still have this expression?"

Sun Ruhua sighed, "I was thinking, I shouldn't have taken that ox cart yesterday and bumped into the He family's daughter-in-law! Now everyone in the old house knows that we have made money now. I'm afraid we won't have peace in the future."

Xie Jiaojiao held her shoulders: "What are you afraid of? When have they ever been at peace? If they really have any evil intentions towards us, I will not let them go! But you have to stand by me when the time comes!"

Sun Ruhua immediately said, "Mother is definitely on your side. We have long severed our relationship with that side! Mother will not recognize them anymore."

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "Just put it that way."

On the other side, Chen Hongju returned to the old house in a panic.

As soon as she returned, she immediately hid in the house. When Xie Zhishu saw her come back, he hurried over to ask her if she had found out anything.

Chen Hongju put down the basket in a bad mood: "I will never go there again. With that damned girl Xie Jiaojiao around, what can I find out?"

As he said this, he opened his clothes and showed Xie Zhishu that the place where Xie Jiaojiao had kicked him was all black.

"It was Xie Jiaojiao who beat him again?"

Chen Hongju nodded.

Xie Zhishu clenched his fists in anger: "This stinky girl, if I had known this would happen, I should have sold her out earlier!"

Chen Hongju nodded in agreement.

Then he turned to Xie Zhishu and said, "Master, you don't know, when I went to their house today, I saw a big egg hanging on the beam of their kitchen, and there was a basket of eggs on the stove!"

"It tastes so good?" Xie Zhishu was shocked.

"That's right! It's winter now, and we eat sweet potatoes and corn dregs every day, but they eat meat and fish every day!"

Xie Zhishu couldn't help but smacking his lips when he heard this.

"What kind of business do they have to make so much money that they can still keep meat at home?"

Chen Hongju shook her head, "How should I know? I wanted to open it and take a look, but that damn girl wouldn't let me see it! The more she acts like this, the more valuable that thing must be. We really have to find a way to get it, so that Qian'er's marriage can be settled! You will be fifteen after the Chinese New Year! My eldest brother from my mother's family said that if he wants to marry his Hua'er, he needs a dowry of five taels of silver. You know Hua'er has been pretty since she was a child. Many families in my mother's village have their eyes on her. If we miss this opportunity, we will never have it again!"

Xie Zhishu nodded: "If this recipe is really that profitable, who would want to marry your brother's daughter? I will find a daughter from a wealthy family in town for our son no matter what!"

When Xie Zhishu thought of this, he immediately felt like he was dreaming about his master.

Chen Hongju refused to accept this and pushed him: "What are you talking about? You agreed to marry Hua'er!"

This push woke Xie Zhishu from his master's dream. Xie Zhishu said angrily, "Does it matter who we marry? The important thing is to get the prescription first. All our talk and arguments are useless!"

Chen Hongju also sighed: "Then what do you say we should do? They see us as enemies! How can we get the prescription?"

Xie Zhishu sat on the bed, touching his chin with his hand, and rolled his eyes: "Why don't we discuss it with my second brother and the others?"

Chen Hongju hit him immediately.

"Why did you hit me?"

Chen Hongju reached out and tapped his head: "Are you stupid? Such a good business, why should we split it in half? Did Xie Zhili share half of the copper coins he earned from selling weaving goods with us?"

"Then what do you say we should do? This won't work, that won't work."

Chen Hongju sat on the bedside and suddenly thought: "Boss, I'm the one who went to their house today. There are people at home. If one day when no one is at home, we can go to their house and steal a jar of food they made. I don't believe I can't make the same food."

Xie Zhishu clapped his hands and said, "That's fine. Pay more attention to that place these days. As long as we find that no one is home, we will go there."

The two hit it off....
