Aunt Qi went back happily with two portions of cakes.

I met several daughters-in-law and mothers-in-law on the way, and I greeted them with a rare smile.

It wasn't that she relied on her husband being the village chief to keep a straight face and ignore them. It was that these gossipers would twist her words into something else if they weren't careful, and then spread them everywhere, and finally cause trouble, and then it would be her fault.

After being cheated a few times, she kept her mouth shut and ignored them. When she couldn't help it, she would silently recite what the old man taught her: Trouble comes from the mouth, trouble comes from the mouth...

A group of women waited for Aunt Qi to go away before they started muttering to each other.

"Hey, do you know which house Aunt Qi went to?"

"How would I know? I'm not her tail."

"See, she's holding a food box in her hand. It must contain something delicious." A woman said affirmatively.

"You also know."

"You know what? I also smell a sweet fragrance, and a hint of dates..."

A woman who had just come back from chopping firewood in the back hills passed by and heard their conversation. She put down the firewood on her shoulders, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said, "Aunt Qi just came out from Song Liuya's house. I saw her when I was going down the hill."

Everyone looked as if they had suddenly realized something.

I wondered in my heart, could it be that Liu Ya had prepared some delicious food to give to the village chief?

"This girl really knows how to behave. Why, just because she is the village chief, she favors some over others? Some people have known how to curry favor with others since they were young..." Why not send one to her family as well?

The one who was speaking was Mrs. Bai. Because of the shitty incident last time, she hadn't shown her face in a long time, and she hated Song Liuya because of it.

"Bah, what qualifications do you have to be sarcastic here? We all have eyes. You didn't help them in any way, and you still have the nerve to ask for benefits here? You Eryong and the rest of us still remember that pile of shit of yours!" Aunt Wang cursed, her hands on her hips.

"You...you stinky old woman..." Mrs. Bai said as she was about to go forward and push Aunt Wang.

Aunt Wang's daughters-in-law were not pushovers. They stepped forward, surrounded Mrs. Bai, and stared at her menacingly.

Mrs. Bai immediately admitted her mistake and shrank her neck, "I... I have something else to do at home..."

Turned around and ran away.

"If you ask me, the sixth daughter of the Song family is a capable person. When the mother and the other two moved out of the old house, they didn't get a piece of land, a penny, or a grain of food. I haven't seen her borrow food or money from anyone. Did she borrow from you? Or did she ask you..."

Aunt Wang asked the women one by one.

The women she pointed out shook their heads, saying that this was really not the case.

Aunt Wang continued, "Although she is young, she is as strong-willed as her late grandfather. She went to the deep mountains where many men dare not go, hunted some prey, and earned some money, but all of this was obtained at the risk of her life. If it were you, would you be willing to go? Would you dare to go?"

Everyone shook their heads again. Although their family was worried about their next meal, they were not forced into a desperate situation. Of course, their lives were the most important thing! Forget about going into the mountains to hunt!

"The village chief let the three of them live in the back mountain because he felt sorry for them, an orphan and a widow with nowhere to stay. Liu Ya now has some money, so what's wrong with making some food to honor the village chief? Isn't this reasonable?

What's wrong with Mrs. Bai? She has to keep picking on such a small child. Don't you think so? "

Everyone nodded in unison.

Aunt Wang smiled with satisfaction, "I think Liuya is a lucky girl. After leaving those parasites in the old house, the three of them are getting better and better. Look at the Song family's old house, no one is good, either struck by lightning or fell into the toilet. The eldest family, who just came back yesterday, fell down together for some reason. This is the complete case. Except for that little bastard Song Youcai, all the other family members are lying down.

Isn't this God's will? "

The others all nodded in agreement, thinking it made sense. A few who disagreed only grumbled quietly.

Song Jixiang naturally didn't know that Aunt Wang spoke well of him in front of the villagers.

She was really tired these days. After returning home and eating and drinking, she lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

Jiang covered her with a quilt and took the two children to take a nap.

The sun sets, and its afterglow illuminates the earth.

Song Jixiang stretched out his body, rubbed his face on the newly bought cotton quilt, and sighed with satisfaction.

Just then, Jiang knocked on the door outside and asked her to get up.

She responded, washed up simply, and then went to the main room.

There are four people in their family now. Xiaoqi has become much more lively, and the house has become lively.

When the four were discussing what to eat in the evening, the gate was knocked again.

Jiang was wondering in her heart, who is this person? He came to visit her in such a secluded place after the sun had set.

The gate kept banging, showing that the person who came was very anxious.

Jiang was about to move when Song Jixiang stopped her and pushed her to the kitchen. "Mom, I'm so hungry. Go make something delicious. I'll go open the door."

Then he urged the two younger ones to help, and he ran to the yard to open the door.

Anyone who comes to your house so late at night either has a grudge or something urgent.

She would not let Jiang and the two little ones come over.

He asked through the door: "Who is it?"

The knocking on the door stopped abruptly, and a familiar voice came; "Liu Ya, I am your Aunt Qi..."

Liu Ya Song had a headache. This aunt had just come here in the afternoon, so why did she come here again?

It can’t be because of the date paste cake!

When I opened the door, there were actually two people standing outside, one was Aunt Qi, and the other was a young woman who was holding a lantern and had a basket on her wrist. She should be Aunt Qi's daughter-in-law.

She welcomed them in politely.

Aunt Qi glanced at the smoke rising from the kitchen and stopped.

This is really true, it is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. It’s time for dinner, why is she staying here?

Fortunately, it doesn’t take much time to write a few words.

She held Song Jixiang's hand and started the conversation with, "Liu Ya..."

Song Jixiang shuddered, "Aunt, you can call me Jixiang from now on. My grandfather gave me that name."

Aunt Qi was a little confused, "Ah, oh, oh, Grandpa Song gave you a big name!" Why didn't her old man tell her? She must ask when she gets back.

"Liu... Jixiang, I want to discuss something with you. That is, that, that..."

Aunt Qi really couldn't bring herself to say it.

The eldest daughter-in-law standing by couldn't stand it. She thought her mother-in-law was always quick and efficient in doing things, but how could she not open her mouth to talk to a little girl?

He tugged at his mother-in-law's clothes, signaling her to speak.

Aunt Qi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

When it comes to money, she really doesn't know how to talk to the girl from the Song family.

Lin Xiaohua smiled at Song Jixiang and said, "Jixiang is really skillful. My little sister likes both of the cakes he made. Let me thank you!"

As he spoke, he took out some food from the basket and stuffed it into Song Jixiang's hand. There were cakes and candies, but they were not valuable.

Song Jixiang knew the principle of give and take, so he gladly accepted it.

Seeing that she was straightforward, the two men's mouths widened.

Lin Xiaohua continued, "This is a pastry from the most famous bakery in town. No matter the taste or appearance, it can't compare to what you make at home. But it's sold out every day, and reservations are often required. I wonder if Jixiang will make other pastries. My younger sister has a shop in town, but it has been empty. I'm worried about it recently..."

The more Song Jixiang listened, the more he began to understand something.

I'm coming to her to seek common prosperity!

Song Jixiang still didn't show any emotion, but promised them that he would go to the village chief's house tomorrow to discuss the matter in detail.

The two women left happily.

Song Jixiang waited until the two of them walked away before he found something that looked like a potato from the base square and planted it casually on the stone at the door...
