Chapter 291 - 185 Speaking Doesn’t Count_2
Dashan could endure hardships himself, but he would never tolerate his children being mistreated.
Qian Yixiu quickly squatted down with a giggle, letting the excited Benben lick her face before she whispered with a smile, "Benben is really capable, following mom and dad there, and even protecting Monkey Brother to bring back such a wonderful treasure. Embroidered older sister will remember this achievement and make an even bigger silver collar for you all tomorrow."
Benben became even more excited and nearly knocked Qian Yixiu over.
Qian Yixiu then praised the House of Animals, saying she would make something delicious for them at noon. She then tucked the handkerchief wrapped around the pearls into her bosom and led the House of Animals back to the front courtyard to rest.
The Dashan family’s rooms were in a side room of the east wing, while Monkey Brother’s bedroom was in a side room of the west wing. Since moving to the front courtyard, there had been an excess of rooms, and as Monkey Brother had grown a bit, they arranged a separate room for him to sleep in.
Qian Yixiu first had Zi Zhu relay to Lady He that she wanted steamed minced meat and egg custard for Monkey Brother at noon, a pot of pork bones rich in meat for the Dashan family, and half a basin of raw pig meat for White Wolf.
Then she went back to her own small room to change her clothes and shoes, knowing her young mother would be sad to see her in the state she was just in.
A spruced up Qian Yixiu went to the main room, where only Qian Sangui and Lady Wu were present.
Lady Wu saw Qian Yixiu had changed into a different outfit and asked, "Weren’t you wearing a different set of clothes earlier? Why have you changed? Yixiu, remember that our family comes from humble beginnings, and we mustn’t forget our roots. One should never run out of food or clothes, or else be poor in every way. Such extravagance, no matter how much money one earns, will never be enough..."
Grandma Wu was in full swing when she was called out by Sister-in-law Lu from outside the window. They whispered at the edge of the window, seemingly about Auntie Qian Xiang setting up Mandie with a prospect, asking for Lady Wu to weigh in.
Now the status of Lady Wu in the Qian family had also risen, and many things would be consulted with her. Hearing it was this matter, she too felt quite honored and quickly followed Sister-in-law Lu.
Qian Yixiu lifted the cotton curtain, checked both sides for anyone around, then closed the door. She sat down next to Master Sangui and said mysteriously, "Grandfather, guess where Monkey Brother and the Dashan family went?"
