The stench of the stinky peony was mainly concentrated on its leaves and stem. As long as someone wanted to hurt it and crush its leaves and stem, a strange stench would waft out.
When she put the bowls and chopsticks down, she had taken out the smelly peony and crushed the leaves and stems. That was why it smelled so bad.
The roots of this stinky peony could be used as medicinal herbs. Therefore, when she encountered this flower on the mountains, Hua Jiujiu had planted it in her space. She did not expect it to be useful like this.
Elder Madam Xu's face was filled with disdain. "Useless good-for-nothing. You only know how to bring back useless things."
Hua Jiujiu couldn't be bothered with her. She took off the roots of the stinky peony so that she could make medicinal herbs.
The stench was getting stronger and stronger.
Elder Madam Xu had already retreated to the door, but she wasn't in a hurry to leave. Instead, she glared at Hua Jiujiu. "You useless people. Did you guys slack off today? You actually didn't dig up a single wild vegetable."
"We still have to take care of our siblings and mother. We don't have time to work."
"If you don't work, don't even think about eating tonight!" Elder Madam Xu had been waiting for this.
"Can't we eat without working?" Hua Jiujiu asked again.
"Yes!" Elder Madam Xu said proudly.
Did she think she couldn't deal with this brat?
"Fourth Uncle and aunt aren't working today, so they can't eat either." Hua Jiujiu chuckled.
Elder Madam Xu glared at her. "Pfft, you money-losing good-for-nothing. You still want to compete with them?!"
"Grandma, isn't aunt a woman? Wouldn't she also be a good-for-nothing?" Hua Jiujiu looked at Elder Madam Xu indifferently.
She wanted to see how this old woman would justify her bias.
"Pfft, how can you compare to your aunt? She's going to marry into town in the future." Elder Madam Xu spat again.
"If the young masters in town knew that auntie was so lazy at home, I wonder if anyone would dare to marry her?" Hua Jiujiu knew where this old woman's Achilles' heel was.
"You wouldn't dare!" Elder Madam Xu glared at Hua Jiujiu.
Hua Jiujiu looked straight at Elder Madam Xu.
Elder Madam Xu was convinced that Hua Jiujiu would definitely dare to spread rumors.
"Pfft, f*cking money-losing good-for-nothing!" Elder Madam Xu cursed as she left. Clearly, she couldn't do anything to Hua Jiujiu.
Seeing that Hua Jiujiu chased away the person they were most afraid of with just a few words, Hua Shishi and Hua Youyou looked at her in admiration.
"Alright, go and sleep." Children had to sleep a little longer to grow.
Hua Shishi and Hua Youyou climbed onto the narrow bed and went to sleep in satisfaction.
The feeling of having a full stomach was really too wonderful.
Hua Jiujiu looked at the narrow space and knew that she had to earn money as soon as possible and leave this place, the sooner the better.
Otherwise, if the weather was a little colder, this small room with leaks everywhere would definitely chill them to death.
Moreover, she could not be bothered to deal with these impressive people every day.
She must manifest her freedom to eat, drink, and play!
Thanks to the obedient babies, Hua Jiujiu also managed to take an afternoon nap.
Instantly, she felt energetic.
"This is the first time I've seen such obedient babies." Hua Jiujiu teased the two little fellows.
These two little fellows would only cry when they were hungry or when they peed. They were simply too easy to raise.
"These two little guys are indeed much more obedient than you were back then," Bai Zhi said with relief.
Otherwise, it would be her own child who would be exhausted. Bai Zhi wouldn't be able to bear it.
Hua Jiujiu wondered if it was because of the spiritual spring.
These two little fellows' eyes kept darting around, looking extremely smart.
