Indeed, things developed exactly as she had predicted.
Many villagers respected her now.
Those who respected her no longer avoided her like the plague upon seeing her, just because her mother had given birth to all daughters.
Instead, they greeted her with beaming smiles.
Furthermore, Liao Xiaoxiao had learned to make steamed buns from Tang Huai.
Tang Huai knew she wanted to make steamed buns to sell in town, so she taught her diligently and even helped her weave a steamer basket.
Liao Xiaoxiao was extremely grateful and would bring over some delicious treats for Tang Li whenever she could.
Moreover, this time she made a total of three hundred yuan from catching toads!
Three hundred yuan was no small sum for her; it was enough to cover the elementary school tuition for her two children!
Although the price of toads had fallen, villagers still caught them to exchange for money.
