Therefore, if asked how he truly feels about Qiao Xiaomai at present, his response would be one and only: to continue observing and monitoring her with a bit of curiosity.

As for the secret affections that the Sun Family, Qiao Changfu, Zhu Hongyun and others might entertain, it really doesn’t exist.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang’s furrowed brow didn’t relax, though she didn’t pursue the matter further and took the dishes out of the kitchen.

As the family gathered around the dining table, everyone took a bite of the fragrant meat and immediately fell silent — Tong Erlang, Zhu Hongyun, Tong Xingda, Mrs. Zhang, and Mrs. Qian.

The Tong Family was never short on meat. They had it every meal. However, comparing to what they ate before, the three women present all believed they weren’t cooking, but were wasting food in the past.

Tong Xingda and Tong Erlang also thought they hadn’t been eating, but have been consuming pig food instead.

Tong Tiehu didn’t care about the thoughts of these people. Eating meat and drinking wine joyfully, his eyes half-closed, his face devoid of any of the usual solemnity.

“Grandfather, isn’t Miss Qiao’s cooking quite good?” Tong Sanlang had a bowl of wine in front of him too, but he wasn’t drinking it, just tasting the dishes prepared by Qiao Xiaomai.

“Good, it’s very good. With her leading the kitchen, the banquet will definitely be lively.” Tong Tiehu showed a slight smile on his face, as if he could already see the scene on the day of the birthday banquet.

Tong Xingda was silent for a moment, then turned to Tong Sanlang, “1 heard from your second brother that the cold jelly noodles, tofu, and bean curd sold at the Jiwiju in the town were all concocted by Qiao Xiaomai?”

“Yes,” responded Tong Sanlang, “She has already sold the recipes for tofu and bean curd to Zuixian Building and Jiwiju. She didn’t ask for silver, but for farmland, now her family owns more lands than ours.”

The Tong Family had not separated, currently, it had five land-serving men, Tong Tiehu, Tong Xingda, and Tong Da, Er, San lang. The land obtained by these five men together was one hundred and fifty acres, and with the added purchased land, the total was almost two hundred acres, making them the family with the most land in Anping Village.

But now, because of the tofu and bean curd recipes, Qiao Xiaomai’s family suddenly owned more farmland than theirs, becoming the family with the most farmland in Anping Village.

The title of the richest, was snatched away.

The people present started feeling uneasy.

Tong Xingda said, “She really knows how to make money.”

Upon hearing this, Zhu Hongyun sneered, feeling a sour bubbling in her heart.

As the daughter-in-law of the Tong family, she originally thought Qiao Xiaomai was just a weed by the wayside. However, now Qiao Xiaomai had earned so much just by lifting her hand, the sparrow was about to fly onto the branch and press down all the maiden ladies and wives in the village, this feeling was truly irritating.

Mrs. Zhang’s previously relaxed brows furrowed again, “We are not short on money.”

Reputation is critical, obedience is critical, yet look at what Qiao Xiaomai has done: causing a ruckus at the academy in the town, attempting to disrupt Sun Junyan’s studies, scheming to get Zhu Cuiying punished, nearly getting Sun’s family and Qiao Meipan tied up to the County Town, and shamelessly trampling on Sun Junyan’s pride in public.

She never stands at a loss, and can’t wait to cause an uproar at the slightest discontent.

She could never dare to have such a daughter-in-law.

“No shortage of money? Do you think our family has a lot of silver?” Tong Xingda glanced at her.

Mrs. Zhang retorted, “At the very least, we won’t worry about necessities.”

Even if their three sons were to part ways in the future, their family base would still be stronger than the rest of the village.

Tong Xingda scoffed, “A woman’s thoughts.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Zhang immediately felt discontent, “What do you mean? Just because of these goods, you want her to marry Sanlang?”

“These goods?” Tong Xingda snorted, “That’s because she is not smart enough, with those recipes she made, if we were to sell them, we would certainly win a mountain of gold..”
