Unexpectedly turned the tables on him

  Anwen looked at the picked ingredients, then looked at the limited seasonings, and sighed slightly in her heart. In the end, she simply boiled everything with water, although she wanted to help this family improve their diet. However, a good cook can't make delicious dishes without ingredients, and without seasonings, she couldn't do it either.

  Fortunately, the vegetables in ancient times were all native and pollution-free, and they tasted great. The loofah soup had a natural sweetness, although it didn't have any oil or water, An Yan took a sip and thought it was still very good. As for the green beans and cucumbers, An Yan boiled them in clear water, then after scooping them up, she mixed them with chopped dried chili peppers. The chili peppers were both fresh and spicy, which actually diluted the blandness of the boiled vegetables, making the two dishes taste quite savory. Moreover, the green beans and cucumbers topped with red chili pepper fragments looked very appetizing, making people feel very hungry.

  Because it's summer, she isn't worried about the dishes getting cold. She cooked the soup and cooled down two dishes, then it was time to make buns. As for making buns, there wasn't much skill involved, just a bit of cleverness in shaping them. While making the buns, her mind flashed back to her thin and weak niece, Xiao Hua, and she had an idea, pinching out a few rabbit-shaped buns. By the time she realized what she was doing, she couldn't help but laugh at herself.

  A thick fragrance wafted over, she lifted the lid and saw that the mantou was already done. Among the many mantous, three exquisite rabbit-shaped mantous stood out, looking particularly eye-catching.

  She was just thinking of this at the moment, should she go to the fields to see if the Bai family had returned yet. Just then, a movement by her ear caught her attention, and she heard the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside, accompanied by a familiar urgent voice.

  "Hurry up, Seventh Sister, quickly go and fetch the silver money from home."

  An Yan's expression changed slightly. The one speaking was her uncle's elder brother, Bai Ping. At this moment, hearing the anxiety in his words, it seemed as if something big had happened.

  "But as for money matters, it's usually my mother-in-law who takes care of them, I don't even know where to look."

  As soon as Da Biao Ge Bai Ping's voice fell, a flustered and anxious female voice immediately rang out.

  This is Eldest Sister-in-law Liu, An Yan's eyes slightly lowered, with a premonition in her heart that this matter might have something to do with Tang Jin Xiu's body. Because the Bai family had always been kind to others in Qing Zhu Village and had good relationships with everyone in the village, they had never quarreled with anyone before. However, all of these were things from before; after Tang Jin Xiu mother and daughter arrived, everything became different.

  Although the White family was implicated, they never had any intention of abandoning Tang Jinxiu and her mother. This moved An Yan, who was used to seeing the coldness and warmth of human relationships.

  An Yan quickly walked out of the kitchen and coincidentally bumped into Bai Ping and his wife, who were hurrying into the courtyard. Bai Ping was so anxious that his face was red and his ears were burning. Hearing the footsteps, he turned his head to look in the direction of the kitchen, just in time to see Tang Jin Xiu, dressed in green, quickly walking towards him.

  Although Bai Ping wasn't very fond of his cousin, he was always polite on the surface. But today, when he saw Tang Jinxiu, his eyes instantly filled with anger. Moreover, when she approached him, he turned away, and the anger on his face intensified.

  Judging from the situation, she had already made up her mind that today's matter was related to herself. She knew in her heart that Tang Jinxiu's behavior was detestable and hateful in this Green Bamboo Village. She also knew that for a long time to come, she would need to slowly clean up those messy affairs.

  "Big brother, big sister-in-law, what's going on? If possible, Jin Xiu also wants to lend a hand."

  An Yan raised a pair of eyes as calm as lake water and looked at Bai Ping and Liu seriously, but her gaze finally stayed on Liu.

  "Hmm..."

  Bai Pingtou didn't turn back, but hummed softly and said: "Qī Niáng, let's hurry up, it's getting intense over there."

  Bai Ping finished speaking and walked into his house on the east side without looking back.

  But Liu was softened by An's gentle gaze for a moment, and quickly said a few words in a low voice. As soon as she finished speaking, Liu also hurried into the house.

  And An Yan stood still, gently blinking her eyes.

  A few days ago, I secretly ran to the city alone to pester Ruan Gongzi, but didn't see him. Instead, I met his younger sister, Miss Ruan. This Miss Ruan has always been arrogant and willful. Even when Tang Jingxian was still a rich young lady, she had a bad relationship with her. However, at that time, because of Tang Jingxian's status, she didn't dare to make too much trouble. But on that day, Tang Jingxian had already fallen from her position, and Miss Ruan got the opportunity and wasn't willing to let it go. However, this Miss Ruan thought herself a noble lady and didn't want to deal with Tang Jingxian, a merchant's abandoned daughter, so she ordered her servant girls to take action.

  Tang Jinxiu, who was beaten until she was covered in wounds, silently locked herself in her room. It wasn't until Bai Shi went in to check on her that she discovered her daughter Tang Jinxiu had attempted to hang herself. After being rescued and waking up again, she naturally became An Yan.

  This matter should have been settled, but unexpectedly this afternoon, the maid beside Miss Ruan brought two young servants to find the Bai family. The reason is that Tang Jinxiu injured the senior maid beside Miss Ruan on that day. Now they came to ask the Bai family for medical expenses.

  Logically, a big family like the Qingcheng Ruan's wouldn't care about the little money from a peasant household like the Bai's. She did this purely to tarnish Tang Jingyao's reputation and make life difficult for the Bai family who took her in.

  Now Bai Ping and his wife were called back to fetch the money. Presumably in her haste, Aunt Wang forgot to tell them where she had put the silver.

  She knew in her heart that on that day, Miss Ruan had ordered three or four maids by her side to beat her up, and she was beaten back with a body full of injuries. But after she woke up from death, she didn't let the Bai family and her mother know about the injury on her body. She gently touched the waist area, which still hurt badly now. If she took off her clothes, there would definitely be shocking scars all over her body.

  I didn't expect that the young lady from the Ruan family would be so narrow-minded, and yet she still wouldn't let go. Clearly having already taken the upper hand, now she's even coming back to turn the tables, it really is opening An Yan's eyes for the first time.

  She slightly pursed her lips, then quickly walked back to the kitchen and put all the dishes back in the pot so they wouldn't get cold. After doing all this, when she came out of the kitchen again, she found that there was no more noise in the east room, knowing in her heart that Bai Ping and his wife should have taken the money and left.

  She stood still for a moment, then quickly walked towards Mr. Bai's house.
