Chapter 62
"Li Xia, we've been siblings for decades, and I'm begging you at this moment, you must only make pork products, not braised chicken and duck braised meat!"

Ma Lixia asked amusedly: "Eldest sister, you have already given me the secret recipe, so do you still care what I do?"

Ma Qiufen glared at him, and complained: "It's because you hang out in front of me all day long, I gave you the secret recipe because of my father and mother. In short, you must promise me that you will not affect the reputation of our shop!"

Ma Lixia nodded and agreed.

However, at the moment when he turned around, the man had a sly smile on his face, thinking triumphantly, anyway, the secret recipe is in his hands, and he can use it however he wants!
At this moment, Cui Shun'er was still managing the herb fields, completely unaware that Ma Qiufen had betrayed the Pei family.

On the way home, Cui Shun'er saw Pei Wei coming out of Cui Yan'er's house from a long distance away, and she seemed to be holding something in her arms.

Counting this time, Cui Shun'er has already witnessed her little daughter entering and exiting Cui Yan'er's house twice.

Before, Cui Shun'er didn't point it out, she wanted to see what Cui Yan'er was doing behind her back, but after many days passed, she didn't see that woman making a splash.

Just when Cui Shun'er was about to forget about that incident, now she saw Pei Wei coming out of Cui Yan'er's house again, worried that her little daughter would really be seduced by Cui Yan'er to do bad things, so she quickly followed behind Pei Wei.

Pei Wei stepped into the room and closed the door. Cui Shun'er stepped into the yard behind, hurriedly followed and opened the door.

Pei Wei was stunned, and hurriedly closed the jewelry box, for fear that Cui Shun'er would see her newly added jewelry.

In the end, Pei Wei couldn't play with Cui Yan'er. Cui Yan'er knew that these young girls' petty thoughts were nothing more than a few words to stir up trouble, plus a few cheap jewelry, so Pei Wei obediently took her words seriously.

Seeing her own mother at this moment, the girl looked away, grabbed the handkerchief with both hands, bit her lip tightly with her white teeth, and said nothing.

Cui Shun'er didn't expose her, she sat on the stool with a kind face, and said softly, "Wei'er, mother sees that you haven't gone to learn embroidery from your second sister-in-law for a long time, has something happened recently?"

Pei Wei rubbed her nose in embarrassment, and replied in a hurried voice: "Mom, what can I do, but I suddenly became lazy and want to rest more."

Cui Shun'er's chest is dull, even though Pei Wei is her own daughter, there is always a gap between mother and daughter, which is why Pei Wei is unwilling to confide in her mother.

On the surface, Cui Shun'er didn't have the slightest doubt, and said with a smile: "The business in the store is getting better now, and the life at home is getting better and better. Mother knows that she has no skills to take care of you, so if Wei'er has something on her mind, mother will definitely let it go. The work in hand to accompany and listen to you."

Pei Wei blushed up to her ears because of a guilty conscience. She was not good at lying, so she hurriedly found an excuse to push her mother out of the wing.

Seeing her daughter who was shying away from her, Cui Shun'er sighed uncomfortably, she was just a biological daughter, how could she not love her, but Wei'er always regarded her as an outsider.

The next day, Cui Shun'er went to the lo-mei shop to help, and checked to see if Ma Qiufen was slack in hospitality.

At this time before, there would always be a long queue at the entrance of the lo-mei shop, but today, people walked by in twos and threes, and the passenger flow was significantly less.

Ma Qiufen pretended to be calm and busy at the front desk.

Cui Shun'er rubbed her chin and thought, could it be that it's spring and people are busy with farm work, so no one comes here?

Because she didn't know that Ma Qiufen gave the secret recipe of lo-mei to her natal family, so she guessed like this, thinking that the business in the store would improve in a few days.

Ma Qiufeng felt guilty, and worked harder, just to avoid meeting her mother-in-law's eyes.

Cui Shun'er watched from the side, thinking that the eldest daughter-in-law had repented, and opened her mouth to praise with a smile: "Autumn equinox, as long as you are willing to devote yourself to this lo mei shop, you can always take care of it from now on."

Ma Qiufen quickly responded to her mother-in-law's words, not daring to talk too much, for fear of leaking the secret recipe to her natal family.

Cui Shun'er returned to the topic and said: "Mai Mai and Xiao Jiu have already reached the age of school, and now that the family is well-off, the children's studies cannot be delayed any longer."

Seeing that her mother-in-law was concerned about her children's studies, Ma Qiufen felt very uncomfortable, and dared not mention that the store's poor business was due to the fact that she had given the secret method to her natal brother.

"Mother, I can only trouble you about the study of the two children." Ma Qiufen said with rare gratitude.

Cui Shun'er smiled, and pursed her lips back: "Mai Xiaojiu is my grandson, of course I have to consider their future development, in short, you can look at the shop with peace of mind, I will arrange to send them to school."

Since the year after, Pei Quan went to the private school and never came back.

Although Cui Shun'er has never read a book and can't even recognize a few words, she knows how hard it is to go to school, and it is even more difficult to get the first place in the imperial examination.

But she couldn't help but think, Pei Xian can be an official of the court, and Pei Quan is his son, so working hard should be able to show his strength in the imperial examination, right?

Cui Shun'er was afraid that his son would not be able to eat well in the private school, so he packed some lo-mei and marinated pork in oil-skinned paper in the store, and took them to the school to give to Pei Quan.

The school is not very far away, and Cui Shun'er arrived there after an hour's walk.

As soon as she entered, she heard Pei Quan's classmates gathered together, talking and laughing.

"Tsk, why do you think Pei Quan has the nerve to come to the school to study? His family is so poor that he can't get rid of it. Instead of studying, why not find some work?"

"Besides, Pei Quan always lied to his mother's money before, saying that the school charged textbook fees. In fact, he took his mother's hard-earned money to drink big wine, and he didn't come to our place for a long time! If I were him, I would have Ashamed, I found a crack in the ground and got in!"

"Hahaha, that's right, don't come to study if you don't have money at home, you'll only be ashamed of yourself!"

Cui Shun'er pays special attention to the education of her children and grandchildren, otherwise she would not be willing to send her youngest son to study without going bankrupt.

Listening to the conversation of these students, she was furious, and she was so furious that she picked them out and taught them severely: "Then why did your family spend money to send you to study? Is it to let you speak ill of your classmates behind your back and laugh at other people's poor families? Didn’t the book teach you that people can be poor, but their ambitions must not be poor?!”

Cui Shun'er, who had been reborn, was able to tell a lot of literary truths based on her own experience, while those students were scolded so humiliated that they didn't dare to breathe.

At the end of the education, a few students scattered like birds and beasts, and left in embarrassment.

Cui Shun'er was full of displeasure, and after a cold snort, she quickly sorted out her emotions, and then went to find her son.

When Pei Quan heard that his mother was coming, he immediately went out to meet her.

Cui Shun'er didn't mention the episode that happened just now, but asked her warmly.
