The Strong Wife from Peasant Family Chapter 38

The man was the butler from outside the town, he did not beat around the bush with Li Qingling and directly said: "Little miss, my master really likes this egg cake, I wonder how much is your egg cake's recipe?" He offered the egg cake to the old master for a try, but the old master became addicted to it the moment he started eating. He ate three egg cake consecutively before he stopped.

He only knew that he had bought it from a small stall outside, and told him to buy the prescription and hand it over to the cook s in the manor.

Hearing this, Li Qingling's heart sank, but her expression did not change. She apologetically said to the Housekeeper Fang: "Uncle, I'm sorry. When she saw Housekeeper Fang's dark expression, she hurriedly said, "However, I can go to your estate's cook." This was a helpless action on her part. If she didn't agree, then this man wouldn't easily let her off.

If she couldn't win against Liu Zhimo, then she could only compromise.

Housekeeper Fang muttered to himself for a moment, then nodded his head.

Li Qingling pursed her lips into a smile, exchanged a glance with Liu Zhimo, then turned around and quickly packed her things. Carrying her basket on her back, she followed Housekeeper Fang.

"Uncle, which family are you from?" Li Qingling looked at Housekeeper Fang curiously, as her heart became slightly vigilant.

Housekeeper Fang looked at Li Qingling and felt that there was nothing much to hide.

Other than Fang Yuan?

Li Qingling calmed her heart down a little. She had heard from Aunt Zhang that the people from the village had a good reputation. Every year, they would make porridge and give clothes to the poor.

Then after she teaches the cook, it shouldn't be a big deal if she mentions that they can't be spread out, right?

Liu Zhimo reached out her hand and quietly squeezed Li Qingling's hand so that she would not be afraid.

Li Qingling turned her head and winked at him, smiling to show that she was not afraid.

Seeing that she was really relaxed, he didn't worry so much.

The two of them followed the Housekeeper Fang in silence all the way into the Fang Residence from the back door.

Housekeeper Fang nodded in his heart. The performance of these two children were not the slightest bit like that of a countryside child. They were too calm and collected.

Just from their actions alone, Housekeeper Fang started to have a good impression of them.

Go to the kitchen, Housekeeper Fang ordered the Fang Residence's cook who specialized in making dim sum, and had her follow Li Qingling to learn to be a egg cake.

cook nodded, she did not look down on Li Qingling either, and humbly asked Li Qingling, what should the egg cake do?

During this period of time, the old master's appetite had not been very good. The kitchen had cooked many delicious foods, but none of them were able to continue eating. Everyone was extremely worried.

Today, hearing that the old master had eaten a few egg cake, they were both happy and apprehensive. They were afraid that the old master would change them.

Li Qingling smiled at the cook and took out the grindstones. As she did so, she explained to the cook.

The egg cake s were not hard to make, so the cook only needed to look at it and do it again to understand it.

The old master was very satisfied with the dish he offered to him.

After Li Qingling heard this, she was completely relieved. She wiped the sweat off her forehead and just wanted to pack up and leave.

Housekeeper Fang came again. He told Li Qingling to leave the grindstone behind and she would fight him again.

What could Li Qingling say? She could only nod her head helplessly.

Housekeeper Fang laughed and handed over a black bag to Li Qingling.

"Then... "There's no need for that. Uncle, I do have a request for you." Li Qingling waved her hand again and again. Without waiting for Housekeeper Fang to make a sound, she continued to speak: "Uncle, I still want to make money from this egg cake, so …"

The Housekeeper Fang was smart, of course he understood what Li Qingling meant. He nodded and promised her that he wouldn't spread the news.

With that, he gave the bag to Li Qingling, "Old master gave it to you, take it!"

This time, Li Qingling did not delay any further. She smiled and kept the bag, "Then thank you, Master Fang." Her grindstone also required money. If she didn't take it, she would be a fool.

The Housekeeper Fang sent Li Qingling and the woman out of the house, and only after the back door was completely shut did Li Qingling let out an exaggerated sigh of relief.

She patted her chest, and smiled to Liu Zhimo, "I don't want to come back for a second time." If she accidentally offended someone in the manor, she wouldn't even dare to imagine what would happen to her.

Liu Zhimo shook her hand and felt that it was extremely cold. He gently rubbed his hand a few times, and only when her hand had recovered its temperature did he let go.

He felt a bit uncomfortable in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. He was only wearing white. There was nothing he could do, nor could he help her.

After this incident, he was even more determined that he would definitely rise to the top. He could not allow her to experience something like this a second time.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he had been silent, Li Qingling frowned and asked him worriedly, "Are you scared too?"

This fool …

Liu Zhimo rubbed Li Qingling's head and lightly shook her head. He looked into her eyes and said seriously: "After spring begins, send Qingfeng and Yan Shi to the Academy!" The two young ones had good aptitudes and couldn't be delayed any longer.

As long as there was one with a good name, no one dared to casually bully their family.

He was very serious.

Li Qingling raised her eyebrows, and looked at him seriously. Just by thinking about it, she knew why he said that?

"Do you want to go?" Based on their current income, their family could afford to send three people to school. At most, she would just have to work a little harder.

Right after she finished speaking, Liu Zhimo shook his head: "No, let the two little ones go!" It would be hard for her to set up his stall alone. He had to help her, not let her shoulder the burden of his family.

Moreover, it was really hard to support his family when three people went to school together. Even if he wanted to go to school, he couldn't nod his head like this.

Li Qingling pursed her lips, she knew that he really wanted to go, but she didn't want to burden the family, so she could only bitterly reject him.

With a pained heart, she tightly held his hand and promised, "I'll let you continue with your studies." He was so smart and so knowledgeable, it was a pity that he didn't go back to school.

There was a gentle smile at the corner of his mouth, and he was satisfied with her words alone.

"What do you wish for?" She wanted him to go back to school, and he wanted her to be happy.

Li Qingling tilted her head and thought, "My heart's desire! is to work hard to make money, raise the kids in the family, and watch them get married and have kids. "

He frowned, his expression a little gloomy. "I'm talking about your wish." Could she think about herself? Not thinking about your family all the time.

She gave him a strange look, not understanding why he was so angry. She then said, "This is my wish!" That was her wish, nothing more.

Sighing helplessly, Liu Zhimo tapped her forehead, "After they get married and have children, what kind of life do you want to live?" Sometimes she was too smart, and sometimes he couldn't turn his head.

Li Qingling rubbed her forehead, lifted his head and rolled his eyes, as she thought about it seriously. After a while, she replied, "As a landlady, I think it's best to go sightseeing when I'm free." She did not have that much ambition in her heart. Like the other girls who had transmigrated into this world, she did not have that much ambition in her heart. All she wanted was for her family to be able to eat and dress in peace.

Liu Zhimo nodded, he had remembered these words in his heart, no matter how far he went in the future, he had to fulfil this wish of hers.

Li Qingling sighed silently. She wondered if she could still live her entire life like this.

No matter how much you want to live in the future, it's useless. The most important thing is to live a good life.

Let's go and forge a mold first. If we don't have a mold, we won't be able to open a stall tomorrow." Li Qing Ling shook her head and smiled optimistically. "The bag that Housekeeper Fang gave me just now was quite heavy. I estimated it to be quite heavy." She really wanted to take it out and have a look, but she had to endure it for now.

Looking at her smiling face that was turned to the side, Liu Zhimo's heart started to relax. He liked her personality precisely, she was unyielding in every way, as if no matter how many things she encountered, she would be able to persevere and endure.

"Oh? "Then how much do you think it is?" He joked with a smile.

Li Qingling stretched out his palm and bent two of her fingers back, "So much …" She estimated it to be thirty silvers. Just by teaching others how to make egg cake, she could earn thirty silvers.

Liu Zhimo purposely did not guess correctly and said a few words that caused her to roll his eyes.

"Three taels?" "To think that you would be able to say it out loud." Li Qingling snorted, went closer to him again, and said in a small voice, "I think it's thirty silver." The more she thought about it, the more impatient she became to take a look.

He reached out and squeezed her cheek. However, he liked it. "We'll see when we get home. I know that you're anxious, so hurry up and forge a mold!"

Li Qingling pouted, she did not say much, but her footsteps became faster.

The two of them went to the blacksmith's shop to let his master forge a new mold. The master recognized Li Qingling and patted her chest, saying that she would definitely do it well.

Li Qingling acknowledged her presence and gave her the money for the Molds. Other than going to the blacksmith's shop, the two went to buy some daily necessities before returning home with their baskets on their backs.

As soon as he returned home, before he could sit down, Auntie Huang arrived.

"Xiao Ling, you're back? How's business? " The moment Auntie Huang entered the door, he immediately asked Li Qingling with a smile. She had earned some money from collecting the eggs, which made his very grateful to Li Qingling.

Li Qingling immediately stood up and greeted Auntie Huang. She did not answer her, she only asked if she had received any eggs.

She knew Auntie Huang had come for this.

After being asked by Li Qingling, Auntie Huang forgot about the question she just asked and nodded furiously, "I've received it. When are you going to go get it?"
