Chapter 258: An Overboard Favor

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Tao Yinzhen was rummaging through the house for silver when the door was suddenly pushed open. Little Cat stood with his back against the light, his face expressionless and sinister.

Instantly, Tao Yinzhen let out a frightened cry and the money bag in her hand fell to the ground.

Little Cat had gone very still.

Tao Yinzhen smiled shakily. “You’re back?’

Little Cat walked towards her, picked up the money bag, and placed it in her hand. He said warningly, “Since Mother has such thoughts, why don’t you take good care of Father?”

Ren Shuixing had been poisoned with a small dosage and was not dead yet. He was just delirious and had completely lost his ability to cause trouble.

Tao Yinzhen was shocked and angry. “I’m your mother. What kind of attitude is that!’

Little Cat stared at her slightly, as if he didn’t see the fear, irritation, anger in her eyes. “Mother has to keep to the ways of a wife,” he said bluntly and harshly.

Tao Yinzhen’s pupils dilated as she repeated in an unbelievable voice, “What did you say to me?”

Little Cat said without turning around, “Mother knows.”

Tao Yinzhen’s face instantly turned as white as snow, and she trembled with anger.

Little Cat had known all along. That was why he was so abnormal and treated her like this!

How could he humiliate her like this!

But she was his mother!

Couldn’t she just think about it?

She was still so young. Why should she spend the rest of her life guarding that rotten person in bed?

Can’t she think for herself?

Even if she shouldn’t have had any thoughts, she had never let Little Cat down. How could he be so cruel?

“Boohoo—”

Tao Yinzhen gripped the money bag tightly and squatted on the ground, crying.

Little Cat leaned against the door, wanting to rush in and hug her, but he forced himself to suppress it.

Only then could Tao Yinzhen completely give up.

Whatever Bai Wutong made, be it food or any kind of things, she could earn a lot of money.

Madam Qu, who had witnessed Village Chief Zhao’s family become rich, after smelling the instant noodles, could sense the money earning opportunity.

They were all from the same village. Everyone knew in private that if the gold mine was discovered on the Jade Spiritual Mountain, everyone would very likely move away!

Madam Qu had three sons and a daughter. Her daughter, Yan Tingting, married Zhao Yuan and gave birth to two fat sons for him.

Zhao Yuan had forged a lot of things for Bai Wutong. In addition, he would earn a few taels of silver that Sheng Huaixuan specially gave him every month.

Yan Tingting’s life became more and more comfortable. As for the other three sons of the Qu family, they could still work in the paper cleaning workshop and earn some money a month. Now that they were not allowed to go to the paper cleaning workshop and did not know any other craftsmanship, once they were separated from capable people like the Bai Wutong and could not benefit from it in the future, Madam Qu became anxious.

She found Yan Tingting and begged earnestly, “Tingting, just think about your mother, father, and brothers. Help us this time!”

If they could obtain the instant noodles recipe, even if they left Youjia Village, their family would definitely be able to live a good life by opening an instant noodles stall.

Yan Tingting frowned. “Mother, how can I casually ask about Madam Bai’s recipe? I’m not Madam Cui. How can I have the face to beg Madam Bai to give us the instant noodles recipe?”

Madam Qu was instantly unhappy. “If you can’t, there’s still your husband. He didn’t even try. Why can’t you?!’

“You’re rich now. It’s useless even if I beg you.”

“Without your brothers’ support, your life in the Zhao family won’t be so good.

Your mother-in-law will bully you to death!”

Yan Tingting frowned. “Mother, Mother-in-law has always treated me quite well. Don’t say that. I’m grateful to my brothers, but I really don’t have the face to ask for the recipe. Not to mention me, even my father-in-law doesn’t dare to disturb Madam Bail”

Bai Wutong was the benefactor of the entire Zhao family and the Zhao family village. She should not be so arrogant.

However, Madam Qu was her mother, so Yan Tingting could not retort directly.

Madam Qu said aggressively, “Madam Bai is a kind person. Why don’t you two go and beg? She can even feed others and teach the villagers how to brew wine. Why won’t she give you a recipe?!”

“Tingting! If you don’t go, are you going to watch your brothers live a hard life?!”

Yan Tingting was very speechless. ‘Mother just said that Madam Bai had taught the villagers how to brew wine and they could earn at least ten taels of silver a year. Why is that considered poor?”

Back then, when she got married, her family could not even afford a dowry of two taels of silver. It was Zhao Yuan who brought back the betrothal gifts.

Madam Qu subconsciously said loudly, “Are you stupid? If they could earn more than ten taels of silver the whole time, why would I beg you? Once the gold mine is discovered on the Jade Spiritual Mountain, everyone will move away. Who will come to purchase our fermented wine? It’s not like Madam Bai will tell us about the Phoenix Feather Wine.’

Yan Tingting felt a headache. “Since Mother knows that Madam Bai won’t tell anyone about the Phoenix Feather Wine, why do you think Madam Bai will teach us the recipe for instant noodles?”

“Besides, we haven’t confirmed if there’s a gold mine yet. Mother, don’t be anxious.”

“My brothers are all capable. They can live a good life no matter what.”

Madam Qu was furious. “You are just making excuses for my request, but what if you succeed?! It’s just an instant noodles recipe. Madam Bai wants face, so she will give it to you ifyou beg!!!”

Yan Tingting did not know how to refuse the persistent Madam Qu. Auntie Yang’s deliberate cough came from outside the door.

Madam Qu was shocked and looked out of the door. She heard Auntie Yang shout, “In-law is here? Tingting, hurry up and kill the chicken.”

Yan Tingting heaved a sigh of relief and quickly opened the door. “Mother, I’ll go now.”

Madam Qu knew that Auntie Yang had heard her just now and deliberately sent Yan Tingting away. She stomped her feet on the spot. “If you don’t treat me as your mother, why are you still eating?! ”

Madam Qu left in a huff. Auntie Yang glanced at Yan Tingting and smiled slightly. She did not say anything, but Yan Tingting knew that her mother-in-law was very satisfied that she was clear-headed and did not agree to go to Bai Wutong to embarrass herself.

After Madam Qu returned from the Zhao family, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She shouted at her three nervous daughters-in-law, “Bring the flour!”

She did not believe that she could not make a bowl of instant noodles after being in charge of the kitchen for decades!

The three daughters-in-law served her at her beck and call. The deep-fried noodle finally took shape. No matter what, this ingredient could not produce the fragrance like Bai Wutong’s noodles. As soon as the water was poured in, the noodles shattered.

Madam Qu was so angry that she wanted to smash the bowl!

Her eldest daughter-in-law said carefully, “Mother, why don’t we forget about

The second daughter-in-law immediately objected. “If we really have to split up in the future, will our entire family live on nothing? Or will we have to seek help from Sister-in-law’s family?”

The eldest daughter-in-law glared at her and did not dare to say anything else.

The third daughter-in-law rolled her eyes. “Why don’t I personally go to Madam Bai and ask for help? Madam Bai has always respected her elders. If I go and ask for help, she might be soft-hearted and agree.”

How could Madam Qu not know what her third daughter-in-law was thinking? For the sake of her three sons’ future, she could only suffer.

She specially put on the old clothes she had worn when she fled and came to the door of Bai Wutong’s house. “Is Madam Bai here?”

When Bai Wutong heard this, she asked Qingfeng to open the door for Madam Qu. When Madam Qu saw that Cui Lingyi and the others were all in the courtyard, she thought that if she begged Bai Wutong now, even if she didn’t want to agree, she would probably agree. Hence, she begged Bai Wutong pitifully, “Madam Bai, my three grandchildren want to eat instant noodles.. I want to learn it, can l?”
