15: Chapter 15: Things Have Changed_1 15: Chapter 15: Things Have Changed_1 âIâm looking for some white liquor from my second uncleâŠâ Yang Ruxin looked at Feng Caie.
At this time, grain was precious, and that liquor was brewed purely from grain.
The ordinary white liquor cost about forty to fifty wen per jin.
Yang Baichuan enjoyed a drink but only during festivals and holidays.
On regular days, Yang Anshi certainly wouldnât give him money to buy liquor, not even the old man Yang Peili could have a drink.
âNoâŠâ
âSecond aunt, since grandparents are here too, may I go search in your room?â Yang Ruxinâs eyebrows slightly raised, âIf I find some, you give me a bit; if not, you can scold or beat me, okay?â
âYou little girl, daring to enter your uncle and auntâs room?â Feng Caie was displeased, âHow did your mother teach you?
YouâŠâ
âSecond aunt, when second uncle brought the liquor home, there were people who saw itâŠâ Yang Ruxin smiled faintly, âWe havenât divided the household yet, have you offered any to grandpa?â
Both Yang Peili and Yang Anshi frowned as they looked at Feng Caie.
âFather, mother, donât listen to Daniâs nonsenseâŠâ Feng Caie hastily tried to laugh it off, âThat was just a jar of liquor my father gave me last time.
You both werenât here when I got back, and then I forgot about it in the room.
If it werenât for Dani mentioning it, I really wouldnât have rememberedâŠâ
âSo there is liquor in second auntâs room?â Yang Ruxin smiled again.
âWhat do you want with the liquor?â Yang Anshi, though disapproving of her daughter-in-lawâs hiding of the liquor, was even more displeased with the main house, âSuch an expensive thing, do you think you can casually ask for it?â
âItâs precisely because itâs valuable that itâs usefulâŠâ Yang Ruxin glanced at Yang Anshi, âWhether my mother can survive depends on this bowl of liquorâŠâ
âSince thereâs liquor, just give Dani someâŠâ Yang Peili said gruffly, then glanced at Yang Anshi, âHurry up and cook, thereâs still work to do in the fields.
It has to be finished by the afternoonâŠâ
Feng Caie felt utterly sick; she understood her in-lawsâ temperament all too well.
The family hadnât been divided yet, and her man was already hiding liquor.
They would probably be ruminating on how to deal with it.
Moreover, she actually did have her own private stashâthat if discoveredâŠ
It was all that bitch Daniâs faultâŠ
But for now, she had to think about how to appease her mother-in-lawâŠ
Yang Ruxin wasnât looking to take much, so when Feng Caie poured her half a bowl, she took it and left the main house.
After stepping outside, the corners of her mouth curled into a sly smile.
In this family, all the money was controlled by Yang Anshi, a person who valued money more than life and had a strong desire for control.
Even if she favored her second son, it would still have to be under conditions that did not oppose her.
So, if she knew her daughter-in-law was secretly saving private money, it would be a challenge to her authorityâŠ
Moreover, in the hearts of both Yang Anshi and the old man, probably the most cherished wasnât the second branch, but their beloved young daughter.
For her little sister, to avoid having her work, Yang Anshi had promptly sent her off to play at her older sisterâs home in the town.
Yang Ruxin glanced at the bowl of liquor in her hand, although this request for liquor couldnât amount to much, it had at least planted a seed of doubt between the two good mother and daughter-in-law, and when the opportunity arose, she would make sure that seed of doubt blossomed into something moreâŠ
After Yang Ruxin left, Yang Anshi did indeed scold Feng Caie and even confiscated the jar of liquor.
Yang Erni frowned as she saw Yang Ruxin actually bringing back liquor, realizing her sister really had changed, and it wasnât her imaginationâŠ
