Tang Huai looked at their smirking faces and was so angry she wanted to hit someone, her fingers slightly clenched around the plate of vegetables.
In the end, she forcefully suppressed her rage, knowing that Peng Jiayao and Yang Hongxing were very odd individuals.
After they had eaten the pig's feet, causing a scene here would not make them regurgitate it. Instead, it would give them an opportunity to point fingers and curse at her.
Tang Huai stepped forward, retrieved her pot, and dumped the remaining pig's feet from the plate back into it, then placed the plate back on the table.
When Peng Jiayao saw that the plate had no meat left, he wanted to curse. Just then, Tang Huai shook her head, sighed, and muttered to herself, "The pharmacist said that pig's feet stewed in a woman's postnatal urine can boost milk production. I was thinking that this pot was made with mom's urine, so mom would surely produce more milk and we wouldn't need to mix formula for the sister tonight. Alas, I didn't expect..."
By the time she had finished speaking, Tang Huai had already left Peng Jiayao's house, and while no one saw the cunning smile on her lips, they had all heard her words.
Were those pig's feet cooked in Liu Xiaoyu's urine?!
"You damned girl, ugh..." Peng Jiayao suddenly burst into fury, pointing and cursing at Tang Huai, but before he could finish, he felt nauseous and vomited.
Upon seeing Peng Jiayao vomit, Yang Hongxing and Tang Ying also started vomiting.
Tang Peijun and Tang Youming frowned tightly, the sounds of retching incessant, feeling their chests tighten, and they too vomited.
They had eaten pig's feet cooked in Liu Xiaoyu's urine!
They looked down on Liu Xiaoyu, yet they had consumed her urine. Disgusting!
Standing outside Peng Jiayao's house, Tang Huai heard the continuous retching sounds coming from inside and coldly smiled.
She wanted to disgust them, make them vomit what they had eaten.
If she had argued with Peng Jiayao, telling him the pig's feet were cooked in Liu Xiaoyu's urine, Peng Jiayao would surely think she was just trying to disgust him.
So, she had muttered to herself in a regretful tone, making them believe the pig's feet were indeed cooked in Liu Xiaoyu's urine.
Sure enough, they were truly disgusted, and everyone was vomiting.
When Tang Huai returned home, Tang Li had already woken up.
She happily wrapped herself around Tang Huai, "Sister, can we eat the pig's feet now? I'm so hungry."
Tang Huai patted Tang Li's head, "Tang Li can only have one piece now."
"Why? Don't we have a big pot?"
"It was eaten by grandma and aunt's family."
On hearing this, Tang Li felt like crying. Her pig's feet were gone...
Tang Huai comforted Tang Li, "Tang Li, be brave. No matter what happens, stay calm. One day when we have money, Sister will buy some more for you."
Tang Li nodded, "Mmm..."
But her mood was still very downhearted...
Tang Huai entered the house.
Inside, Liu Xiaoyu, who was nursing her younger daughter, had already overheard the conversation she just had with Tang Li.
Hearing these words, Liu Xiaoyu felt heartbroken. A whole pot of pig's feet had been eaten by Yang Hongxing's family.
"Enough milk to feed her?" Tang Huai approached and asked softly.
Liu Xiaoyu furrowed her brow, "Not enough."
She looked at Tang Huai with a worried face, "They've bullied us again."
"Let them gloat for now, mom. Our good days are bound to come!" Tang Huai looked into Liu Xiaoyu's eyes and asserted confidently.
Such hardships in her previous life hadn't crushed her. Living this life again, she felt like a soothsayer, certain she wouldn't stray.
Liu Xiaoyu thought Tang Huai was just consoling her. She sighed, "Your father left, and I have to shoulder the family, and now, you've to take that responsibility; I am indeed useless... If only you were a boy, things would be better. No one would bully us, and your grandmother wouldn't oppress our family like this."
"Mom, being a boy doesn't necessarily mean shouldering the family's responsibility. Don't worry too much. In any case, our days will get better and better."
"They've gone too far. They ate all our pig's feet."
"They aren't feeling too well now either." Tang Huai said coldly.
"What's the matter?" Liu Xiaoyu looked at Tang Huai nervously, "Who did you hurt?"
Tang Huai tugged at the corner of his mouth, "Mom, do you really think I'm that violent? I just annoyed them when I saw how happily they were eating."
"Annoyed?"
"I told them the pig's feet were cooked in your urine, and when they heard it, they all threw up."
"Tang Huai, you..." Liu Xiaoyu didn't know what to say to Tang Huai, but she felt he had done right.
Tang Huai smiled at Liu Xiaoyu, "I said peanuts and pig's feet stewed in a nursing mother's urine could increase milk supply. Mom, one day I'll buy some pig's feet and cook it in your urine."
"Would Mom even dare to eat that?"
Tang Huai gave a mischievous smile and winked at Liu Xiaoyu, "It tastes especially good, you'll want more after you eat it."
Liu Xiaoyu immediately understood what Tang Huai meant, "Okay, as long as it increases milk supply, anything's fine to cook with."
Tang Huai gave the remaining pig's feet to Liu Xiaoyu to eat. She then cooked a dish with sweet potato leaves and had two bowls of white porridge with Tang Li.
Tang Li couldn't eat pig's feet and felt gloomy.
Tang Huai said with a laugh, "Sis, I'll make you pumpkin cakes this afternoon."
There were two large pumpkins at home, not of a good variety and not tasty enough, so Peng Jiayao didn't take them away.
Tang Li's eyes lit up looking at Tang Huai, "Pumpkin cake? Sis, what's pumpkin cake?"
Tang Huai laughed, "It's a cake made from pumpkins."
"Can you make it? Is it tasty?"
"I can make them, and they're very tasty," Tang Huai replied with a smile.
In her past life, to become Jing Peng's capable wife, she had learned how to brew tea, make pastries, and cook after getting married.
Unfortunately, Jing Peng had never tasted her cooking before he killed her.
Thinking about this, her hand holding the chopsticks curled slightly, and her heart tightened as well. In this life, she would never fall for any man from the Jing Family!
After dinner, Tang Huai started making pumpkin cakes.
The recipe was simple—Tang Huai used to make them frequently in her past life, and now she was very adept at it.
Tang Li was very happy, running around nearby, but she couldn't really help out.
Once the pumpkin cakes were done and fried, they smelled fragrant.
Tang Li, tempted by the smell, ate the first piece that was done.
"Sis, this is so tasty!" Tang Li smiled, her teeth almost hidden by her grin.
Watching Tang Li's joyful laughter, Tang Huai was moved and secretly resolved to ensure a good life for her mom and her sister in the future!
After frying them, Tang Huai brought two pieces for Liu Xiaoyu to eat.
Seeing the professional-looking and tasty pumpkin cakes, Liu Xiaoyu asked in surprise, "Tang Huai, who taught you this?"
Tang Huai replied with a smile, "The shopkeeper taught me when I was buying flour. Mom, try some."
"Can I eat this while I'm still in confinement?"
"You can."
Liu Xiaoyu grabbed a piece and ate it. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with the sweetness of the pumpkin, it was delicious.
Liu Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled, "I didn't expect the pumpkins meant for pigs could make such tasty cakes."
Tang Huai smiled at Liu Xiaoyu, "There's more, Mom. Have a few more pieces."
Liu Xiaoyu grew savvy, "I'll hide what I can't finish so your Auntie won't steal them. Tang Li is hungry."
"Sure" Tang Huai nodded, "I'll buy a lock someday and lock the kitchen up."
