My Dear Wife, Please Be Gentle!-Chapter 97 - 98 Are you going to compensate if you break it?_1

So it was under Qiao Duo’er’s forceful insistence that the decision to set up a stall at the dock was made.

Qiao Duo’er brought out the box where she kept the money, and took out all the scattered copper coins and broken silver; this was all that she and Tan Zhenghong had for their entire wealth.

When they divided the family assets, they received just over one tael of silver. Tan Zhenghong’s handcrafted goods sold for about one tael of silver, and Qiao Duo’er earned two taels of silver from selling medicinal herbs.

However, their expenditures were also significant, so they hadn’t managed to save too much silver.

Now, Qiao Duo’er still had two taels of broken silver left and, additionally, over two hundred assorted copper coins.

Qiao Duo’er took out fifty wen to give to Sun Erhu, asking him to take the money and buy eggs from another family.

The eggs from landowner families were usually saved up to be sold at the market, for one wen each. With the money from the eggs, they could buy essentials like rice, grains, cooking oil, and salt.

Fifty eggs should be enough to last one day.

For her first attempt, she didn’t prepare too many ingredients, in case they couldn’t finish and it went to waste.

After a while, a heart-wrenching cry came from the main room, and the owner of the voice was Little Wang Clan.

"Grandma, I want to eat meat! Hurry up and get it for me!"

Little Wang Clan cried and pleaded; he was extremely aggrieved.

Ever since he smelled the aroma of meat, he had been pestering Wang Clan to eat meat and to ask Fourth Aunt for some, but Wang Clan just wouldn’t agree.

So all he could do was to cry out loud, lying on the floor; it was a trick that had worked well in the past.

But this time Wang Clan couldn’t afford to lose face and was unwilling to compromise no matter what.

They had just broken off relations with Fourth Boss, and the eyes of many were upon them, waiting to see her become a laughingstock.

Wang Clan said in an annoyed tone, "I told you, the meat from their household is poisoned; eating it can kill people. Why won’t you believe me, child?"

"You’re lying, they’re all eating it, even Da Ya and Er Ya got some!"

Little Wang Clan persisted stubbornly.

Little Wang Clan had a volatile temper and immediately grabbed Little Wang Clan by the ear and scolded, "You good-for-nothing, always thinking about eating. What is there to eat? Why didn’t you get choked by it?"

She realized the situation wasn’t right just by thinking about it briefly; it was all because of Little Wang Clan’s gluttony.

It was he who went to the east wing room and ate a pancake, after which the money pouch vanished.

If not for his greediness, would things have turned out this badly?

Ever since the break with Fourth Boss, relations with the main room had become delicate.

Little Wang Clan had lost her affection for that family of three, and Wang Clan had many complaints against Little Wang Clan; mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were often at odds in secret.

However, Little Wang Clan was Little Wang Clan’s mother, so for the time being, they had not had a full falling out.

Wang Clan disdainfully said, "When has it become your turn to scold my Tan Family grandson? All you have left is a mouth. Apart from scolding the child, what else are you good for?"

She used to think that the second son’s wife was good, now she can’t stand her no matter where she looks!

Little Wang Clan snorted softly, "Little Wang Clan, roll back to your room! If I hear you whining about eating again, I will tear your mouth apart!"

"You heartless wretch, if you harm Little Wang Clan, can you afford to compensate for it?"

Wang Clan was so agitated that she hopped in anger but still watched helplessly as Little Wang Clan was carried off to the room by Little Wang Clan.

Wang Clan could only turn to Tan Zhengyong who was enjoying the drama on the side: "Are you blind? Just watching her beat up your son?"

"Mom, Cui Hua is Little Wang Clan’s mother; she wouldn’t really hurt him, you know? Stop worrying unnecessarily," said Tan Zhengyong nonchalantly. His wife had been angry and hadn’t let him touch her for a month; how could he dare to make her even more upset?

If he kept feeling frustrated like this, he might as well become a monk!

After a while, the sound of Little Wang Clan’s crying could be heard from the room.
