Guide to raise my cutie husbands
Chapter 1651: The tale of sauce jar continues (2)
"Don't even expect them to take care of your sisters in their old age. They are just their nieces and not their daughters just like how I am their sister in law and not their mother. Tell them this, if they think that they can continue relying on this grandma and her daughters, they are dreaming."
Master Xiao was stunned when he heard Madam Kong say that she would not let their daughters support his sisters but at the same time he could not bring himself to say anything.
"Thats..That's just too much," Master Xiao gasped after a long time and Guo Zian sneered before saying, "Don't even get us started on this, if there is anything too much it is your actions of filling the house of your mother!"
"I also have three sisters and a widowed daddy, you don't see me sending money, meat and bolts of fabrics to my house."
"Thats different—"
"How is it different? Do you mean to say that only you are allowed to send something to your family and not the rest of us?" Guo Zian snapped harshly. "At least my family will have a bit of shame and won't take too much, what about your family? They never return anything and just keep on taking things, what does your family think we are? Do we owe them something?"
Master Xiao could not say anything against this, he could only change the topic, "Do you have to cook the mutton for that family? Chicken and pig offals are good too, right? We can't use mutton for free, it costs a fortune."
"So, what?" Madam Kong sneered. "No matter what kind of fortune it takes, this grandma was the one who bought it. And it is better for me to use it to serve our families' benefactors rather than letting it go inside the stomachs of those who are bent on emptying my house."
Master Xiao wanted to refuse but he was stopped by Madam Kong, "Don't even think about it! Have I asked you to bring the money and things that you have sent to your mother's house? You also dared to use the money that this grandma handed you to take care of her daughters."
"Don't even think of embarrassing me anymore! It is bad enough that you don't know how to respect your benefactors but you also insulted them! At least let me make it up to them."
"And have you forgotten that you also gave away the jar of meat sauce to your sisters? It was given to us by Sister Dong! I heard it cost more than fifteen taels! No matter how expensive mutton is—there is no way it is going to be as expensive as the sauce!"
"Fifteen? Fifteen taels?" Master Xiao croaked. Now his heart ached a lot, such an expensive sauce was given away just like that? And that man was not even agreeing to his sister's proposal.
"That's right. Fifteen taels," snapped Madam Kong. "That sauce had mushrooms and whatnot as the base, you — you actually sent it away just like that!"
Master Xiao felt even more guilty, seeing that his wife was furious, he didn't dare to say anything about not using the mutton. Instead, he lowered his head and said, "Okay, Okay...I never said that we cannot use it, I was just making a suggestion. You can do what you want."
He then turned to look behind him and said, "But why did you have to make things difficult for my second sister? Look at this, she left just like that." Master Xiao thought that if his sister had stayed she could have eaten a few bites of the mutton.
Since he couldn't send it to her, then she might as well eat it.
Madam Kong was getting tired of dealing with this mer, she pressed her forehead and said to Master Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, I hope you will rein in that temper and free hand of yours, if not then even if my daddy pleads for you, I will not show you a good face!"
Master Xiao did not take her warning as seriously as he had been hearing it for a long time. Instead, he went looking for his sister, he hoped that she was close by such that she could also eat the mutton with those people.
However, Second Sister Xiao wasn't there. She had long returned to the academy with a furious expression on her face.
"Who does she think she is?" Second Sister Xiao muttered under her breath. She wanted to go back and tell Madam Kong that she was not relying on her or anything but when she thought about how Madam Kong was taller and stronger than her, Second Sister Xiao controlled her temper.
"Second Sister Xiao?"
Second Sister Xiao was still walking away when she heard someone call her from behind. She turned around and her face lit up immediately. It was young master Cai.
"Young master Cai!" Second Sister Xiao greeted the man with a smile on her face. "How can I help you?"
The man hesitated before saying, "Second Sister Xiao, if you don't mind can you bring me more of that sauce? The one that you have given to me. My grandma liked it a lot and has been harping about that sauce for a long time."
"But I cannot find it anywhere," Young Master Cai frowned and added, "My grandma is a sickly old woman and cannot eat anything. But with the sauce, she could eat two bowls of rice, she says that it suits her taste just right. I wouldn't have troubled you but I have no choice."
When Second Sister Xiao heard that Young Master Cai's grandma liked the sauce, her eyes glowed with a strange look in them.
'His grandma likes the sauce? Then if I were to win over his grandma certainly she would agree to let his grandson marry me?' Second Sister Xiao thought and the more she thought about it, the more her heart soared.
She patted her bosom and said, "Don't worry I will bring another jar for you, Young Master Cai. It is a special recipe of our family, so you will not find it anywhere."
