Chapter 318 - 308: Quite Despicable
"We should know the outcome by tonight, so at least we won’t be in suspense for long."
Wu Jia responded weakly. They say that business is ruthless, and if her family’s secret recipe really was guessed, she couldn’t be as carefree about it as Mi Erhu was. Yet, on second thought, she realized she need not be so pessimistic.
After all, her family still had over a hundred thousand from selling ducks and salted duck eggs, plus the savings from years of doing business—even if Mi Dahu and his wife had taken quite a bit, she estimated her in-laws still had tens of thousands left. There was also the money from selling the house and land...
Father-in-law was right, as long as one is diligent, one can always find a way to put food on the table. With a roof over their heads and food in their bellies, without the likes of Mi Dahu’s family to leech off them, and with her and Erhu still young and strong, what was there to fear about not living well?
Thinking this through, Wu Jia felt that her anxieties were truly unnecessary; after all, whether one is destined for wealth is decided by fate, and longing for it is futile. She couldn’t let this worry affect the baby in her belly, and make her grumble about fate all day long, frowning with sorrow.
Having figured it out, Wu Jia nudged Mi Erhu, "I’m going to take a shower, and then sleep. You still remember how to turn on the hot water, right?"
"Of course, of course, just wait, I’ll go get the hot water ready for you." Seeing that Wu Jia was no longer troubled, Mi Erhu immediately stood up with a smile full of eagerness, also carefully helping her sit on the bed.
As soon as the son and daughter-in-law left, Mi Dahu’s mother looked suspiciously at her husband, "Tell me the truth, has something happened? Why do I feel that you’ve been off these past couple of days? Ever since you came back from the research institute, you’ve been distracted. What exactly are you worried about?"
