Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let s Farm - Chapter 585

Chapter 585: Chapter 585: Isn’t This a Thief?

“Sister-in-law, this is where you’re wrong. Second brother allowed Xiaomai to teach you how to prepare Braised Pork, intending it to be for our family. Now, you turn around and come to sell the recipe at the Zuixian Building. Is this fair to Xiaomai?”

Seeing Zhu Hongyun so frightened that she couldn’t speak, Tong Sanlang started talking.

“Xiaomai has always kept her recipes to herself. Now you have easily sold one here. I’m greatly disappointed at this misconduct,” Tong Sanlang said while slightly shaking his head, “Now what do you suggest we do about this?”

What to do?

Zhu Hongyun’s blank brain slowly came back to reality.

What should we do?

“My mother is very sick, needs treatment and there is an urgent request for money from my mother’s place, so I reluctantly thought about selling this recipe to raise some money,” she finally stammered.

As soon as she said this, she nodded fiercely, as if clutching a life-saving straw. Yes, that’s exactly how it was!

“Even if your mother is ill and needs money, it’s not necessary for you to find the money, sister-in-law, is it?” Tong Sanlang pointed out her lie, “Besides, even if you wanted to sell the recipe, you should have informed Xiaomai and me beforehand. We taught you the method in the morning and now by noon you’re already selling it. What happened? Did something happen on your mother’s side today?”

“My mother has been sick for a while and I haven’t taken any money for her treatment. It’s been troubling me.” The first lie was out, making the rest easier, “As for my mother’s family, no one came today. It was something you and Xiaomai mentioned on the day of our marriage.”

“So you’ve forgotten about your bond with Xiaomai to fulfill your filial piety?” Tong Sanlang asked, emphasizing the key point, “Regardless of the reason, you should have informed Xiaomai, shouldn’t you?”

“You two have come to town, so there was no one I could find to tell,” Zhu Hongyun’s face slowly lost its fear as she calmed down.

Hearing this, Tong Sanlang asked again,” Has your mother’s condition worsened significantly?”

“No.”

“If your mother’s health isn’t in immediate danger and the matter on your mother’s side was mentioned only a few days ago and isn’t urgent, then why are you so desperate to sell the recipe in town?” Tong Sanlang questioned.

“Why are we wasting so much time talking about this here at the Zuixian Building? This isn’t our home, we are just providing entertainment for others.” Qiao Xiaomai spoke out with a serious face, “Sister-in-law, let’s go home and discuss this with Grandfather.”

“If there’s anything you can’t say here, say it in front of Grandfather.”

Qiao Xiaomai turned to Shopkeeper Zhou, “What do you think, Shopkeeper?”

“This, this…” Shopkeeper Zhou looked troubled, “She already taught the method.”

“Then give the silver as previously agreed, but give it to me,” insisted Qiao Xiaomai.

“Fifty taels. Since the recipe was taught by Xiaomai, the silver should naturally be given to her.” Shopkeeper Zhou hastily agreed.

For simply Zhu Hongyun, he would never choose to offend Qiao Xiaomai.

“Alright, let’s leave the Milk Candy recipe here for now, I need to take second sister-in-law back home to sort out family matters,” Qiao Xiaomai proposed.

“You handle your business first,” Shopkeeper Zhou complied.

Qiao Xiaomai thanked Shopkeeper Zhou, then looked at Zhu Hongyun, “Sister-in-law, let’s go.”

Staring at Qiao Xiaomai’s unexpressive face, Zhu Hongyun’s just recuperated senses blurred again.

She doesn’t believe her reasoning and wants to take her home?

Thinking about the scolding and roaring from Tong Tiehu, she involuntarily clenched her teeth.

“All this fuss over a Braised Pork recipe and fifty taels of silver. Look at your attitudes! You treat me like a thief! I’m your sister-in-law, I’m part of your family!”

Qiao Xiaomai”…”

She had a moment of silence before counter-questioning “Don’t you think your behavior did make you look like a thief, second sister-in-law?”
