”If I tell you to go, then go. Just tell mom that I'm injured and I need to eat something good to recuperate from. ”Oh right, let sister-in-law catch an old hen. I heard from the town that there is a dish called chicken stewed with mushrooms in the restaurant.” Tian Da Hu spoke to the side and did not hold back from drooling.
The Jiang Clan hadn't seen any meat in a long time. Hearing her husband's words, she didn't care whether or not she would be scolded by her mother-in-law, and directly went to the upper house.
Seeing that the Gao Clan was also present, the Jiang Clan hesitated to speak of the important matter.
When Lady Gao saw this, she knew that this Third Sister-in-Law was holding something bad in her, so she sneaked out and hid under the window to eavesdrop.
When Madame Jiang saw Madame Gao leave, she said to Madame Li, ”Mother, the basket of mushrooms Old Third brought back from the mountain, do you plan to sell it, or keep it for yourself?”
”Why do you want to go after that mushroom? Pfft, all of you, just give up. I heard that the mushrooms can be sold for money in the town. After they are dried, they can be exchanged for money. Do you guys want to die from greed or what?
Sure enough, before he could react, he was scolded directly by Lady Li.
Lady Gao, who was hiding outside, couldn't help but laugh secretly. She thought to herself, ”This old family has always been the ones who are the most composed. Now they have actually offended Granny for the sake of that little mushroom. There's going to be a good show to see.”
When Tian Guihua heard what Jiang Shi said, she also said with a gloomy face, ”This time, mother had to pay the gambling debts with three of us, but she took out the coffins of her and father. If you don't say that you will help your family earn a little more money, how could you miss those mushrooms? ”What's more, I snatched that mushroom from the mountain, and didn't carry it back from third brother.”
”But your third brother still has wounds on his body. He only wants that mouth of mushroom. Mother, I heard that mushroom stewed chicken can cure the disease.” The Jiang Clan was frantic.
”What?” Mushroom stew can cure illness? I think it can cure the craving. ”Scram, even if that mushroom is left there to rot, I still won't give it to you all to eat.” Madame Li picked up the broom and was about to hit him.
The Jiang Clan's face turned ashen as they hurriedly ran out. In the end, they saw the Gao Clan looking at them with a face full of schadenfreude.
When Lady Gao heard about the chicken stewing the mushrooms, she couldn't help herself. She had always been the one with the thickest skin among these daughter-in-law. Thus, she didn't care about anything else and directly broke into the landlord's house.
”Mother, Third Sister-in-Law is right. That mushroom has already been broken. If you take it to the town to sell, you probably won't be able to sell it.” I feel that the mushroom there is rotten, but it might as well be a tonic for Old Third. ”When he gets better, he can take less medicine, can't he?” Gao Shi said.
When the Jiang Clan heard this, they quickly followed suit. Madame Li agreed to pay the bill for the leftover soup. However, it was impossible for her to kill a chicken.
After picking out the broken mushrooms, she gave some to the Jiang Clan. Lady Gao also took some back with a bashful expression.
”Flower, I don't think we should sell these mushrooms, just keep them for ourselves.” ”Anyway, we will remember this mushroom's appearance. We will go up the mountain to harvest it in the future and keep these for you and your fourth brother to supplement.” Madame Li said to her daughter with a smile.
”Mother, you treat me so well, I love you so much.” Tian Guihua laughed until her eyes narrowed.
