Lin Gui sat aside without saying anything, just lowered her head. As for what she was thinking, only she knew.

"Mom, I want to eat braised pork tonight, can you make it for me?" Lu Qianqian glanced at Liu Zhaodi and didn't say anything, but directly pulled Old Lady Lu and acted coquettishly.

"Make it. Qianqian, make it if you want to eat it. You are the most capable person in the family now, eat whatever you want." Old Lady Lu still did not forget to stab Liu Zhaodi. She didn't know what Liu Zhaodi was thinking. Humph, if she wanted to suck her daughter's blood, forget it. "Old family, take some lean meat to braise, and some fat to make some oil residue, add some salt. Qianqian likes it. And make a soup with bone sticks. The vegetables in the backyard are also cooked, put some in."

"I got it, Mom." Lin Gui quickly got up and took the meat to the kitchen. When the little kids heard that there was something delicious to eat, they also followed her to the kitchen.

There were only a few adults left in the main hall.

Old Man Lu spoke up at this time, "Qianqian, how much did those fruits sell for?"

When Old Man Lu saw his daughter buying so much new rice and meat, he already had some guesses in his mind. These fruits must have been sold at a good price. Although he felt sad, that was the money his daughter earned herself. She could decide how to spend it. He had no intention of asking her to hand it over.

After all, girls are going to get married, so saving more dowry will give them more confidence in their husband’s family in the future.

Lu Qianqian took a small basket for mangoes and guavas, covered it with a piece of cloth, and placed it directly on the table.

"Dad, my sister-in-law's family gave me thirty taels of silver for mango and guava. They will be given priority in the future. My salary as a certified gardener is twenty taels of silver a month. I have already received this month's salary today, which is fifty taels in total. I spent a little over four taels to buy these things, so I have 46 taels and 400 coins left."

Lu Zhengguo and Liu Zhaodi were shocked. They had never seen so much silver before.

Old Man Lu was also a little bit unbelieving. Although he already had some guesses in his mind, he didn't expect there were so many.

Liu Zhaodi couldn't help but move her body and stretched her neck to see the silver in the basket. She had never seen silver before, and it was good enough to have a few cents.

When she heard that there was so much silver, Old Mrs. Lu was also surprised, but when she saw Liu Zhaodi's expression, the old lady came back to her senses.

"I tell you, no matter how much money we have at home, it belongs to Qianqian. You all used to complain that I was partial to Qianqian and wanted me to marry her off. Now that you see Qianqian making money, you want a share of the money. Bah, keep dreaming. Today I make it clear to you, no matter how much money Qianqian makes in the future, it will have nothing to do with you." Old Mrs. Lu said confidently.

In the Lu family, old man Lu and old lady Lu favor the younger daughter. They give her all the delicious and useful things in the house. However, they also feel a little insecure because most of the family's income is earned by the eldest and second sons.

In addition, the tuition for the third son was also paid by the eldest and second sons, so the two old people knew in their hearts that they owed the eldest and second sons.

So even if the second child's family is sometimes mean, at most they would just scold her a few words, but would never really let her go back to her parents' home or anything like that.

At this time, Lu Zhengjun came back from the ox cart and heard what his mother said. He quickly expressed his attitude, "Mom, why would we think so? The money that my younger sister has the ability to earn belongs to her. It is unreasonable for my brother to let my younger sister support the family."

When Liu Zhaodi heard her man say this, she became angry. It was Lu Qianqian who used theirs before, so what was wrong with them using hers now?

"Mom, my second brother is right. We have my second brother and I at home, so we don't need our younger sister to support the family. If you tell others that we need our younger sister to support the family, isn't that a poke in our spine?" Lu Zhengguo also spoke up.

He was very happy that his younger sister could become a gardener, so that no one would dare to bully her in the future. As for his younger sister's money, he had never thought about it.

Old Man Lu nodded, stopping Old Lady Lu from saying anything else.

"It's good that you can think this way. Qianqian is your sister, so you should be nice to her. Now that Qianqian has become a gardener, can you brothers still suffer?"

"Yeah, Dad is right." Lu Qianqian could tell that Old Man Lu and Old Lady Lu were just spoiling her, but she had several older brothers at home, and they were all married and had families.

The eldest and second brothers are really good to their younger sister, otherwise, Old Man and Old Lady Lu would have spoiled her for so many years, letting her do nothing and treating her like a rich girl. If something bad happened, she would have made a fuss long ago.

Of course, now that my brothers are married and have wives and children at home, they don’t have any ideas, but that can’t be said that others don’t have any ideas.

Consistent suppression will of course eventually have side effects.

She is not like the original owner who could eat and use good things. Now, in addition to living a good life, she also has to earn favor points, otherwise where will the new plants come from?

"Dad, I'm a gardener now. There will be a lot of things to do in the future. I can't do some things, so I'll let my brothers do it for me. Of course, I'll pay them for their work."

"Whatever wages you want to pay, just tell them to do it." Before Lu Qianqian could finish, Old Lady Lu spoke.

Lu Zhengguo and Lu Zhengjun both nodded in agreement.

"Little sister, if you have any problem, just tell me and I will do it for you."

"Well, we are all family, just tell them if you have anything to say."

Liu Zhaodi's face turned green. She wondered if she wanted to live anymore. Did they really think that all the people in her family were farmhands? She felt so upset, but she didn't dare to say anything for fear that her mother-in-law would beat her.

"Mom, I can't do a lot of hard work, so I can only ask my brothers to help. But if they work for me, I won't be able to make money. Now that my brothers are married, I can't let them starve. If people outside know about this, won't they say that I am an ungrateful sister?"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she started to curse: "I'll skin anyone who dares to say that to you. You are their sister, so they should treat you well."

Lu Zhengguo and Lu Zhengjun lowered their heads with pain in their eyes. They knew that their parents had spoiled their younger sister since she was a child, and it was normal for her to be spoiled more since she was a girl, but they also had children and a wife. As their younger sister said, they couldn't let their children and wife starve to death!

Lu Qianqian had a headache, but there was nothing she could do. Old Man Lu and Old Lady Lu doted on her, and she couldn't hurt their hearts. She could only change them slowly.

Lu Qianqian took the old lady's hand and said tenderly, "Mom, I'm a gardener. If others knew that I treated my family so badly, I would lose face outside. Besides, I also want you and dad to live a good life. What if my brothers hold us back? If my brothers don't accept my wages, I will find someone else."
