The afternoon passed by quickly. Zhao Yun 'er had already finished preparing the dishes in the kitchen.
However, the wok in the kitchen was too small. It was possible for the family to make do with cooking, but it was impossible to cook too many dishes.
Zhao Yun 'er then discussed with Li Cuiying, "Second aunt, you go and ask grandma. Ask her if she can borrow her kitchen when she cooks tomorrow."
Li Cuiying asked in confusion, "Yun 'er, what's wrong? Is my kitchen not good enough?"
Zhao Yun 'er shook her head, "It's not very good. The wok in the kitchen is too small. You can't cook many dishes in one wok. It's more convenient to cook with a bigger wok."
Li Cuiying agreed, "Okay, I'll go talk to your grandmother now. It shouldn't be a problem to borrow a wok. After all, your grandmother won't be able to use the kitchen for the banquet tomorrow."
"Okay!" Zhao Yun 'er thought that it shouldn't be a problem.
However, when Li Cuiying went to ask, he saw Huo Chunhua's shameless side.
"Second Daughter-in-law, I can lend you the kitchen, but it's a joyous occasion after all. You should at least give me a red packet. You can't use the kitchen for free, right?"
Li Cuiying asked nervously, "Mother, how much should I give you?"
Huo Chunhua rolled her eyes and said, "It's said that everything goes smoothly. I think you should give me six taels of silver!"
Li Cuiying originally thought that if it didn't cost much, she could accept it. However, after hearing Huo Chunhua say six taels of silver, Li Cuiying couldn't remain calm.
Six taels of silver wasn't a small amount. It was enough to buy a mu of land.
It was just borrowing the kitchen. How could it cost so much?
Zhao Yun 'er stretched her ears to listen and secretly cursed Huo Chunhua for being too shameless.
It was as if he had fallen into a money pit, thinking about money all day long.
He did not know why Huo Chunhua wanted so much money.
He wouldn't be able to live for many years, so he couldn't possibly bring the money he had saved up to his grave, right?
Li Cuiying awkwardly tugged at the corner of his mouth and said, "Mother, isn't six taels of silver a bit too much …"
When Huo Chunhua heard this, she was very unhappy and replied, "How is six taels of silver too much? Second Daughter-in-law, Young Master Zheng has sent a lot of money as betrothal gifts, right? You're so tight on six taels of silver, isn't it because you don't want to be filial to me? "
Li Cuiying quickly shook his head. "Mother, that's not what I meant …"
Although Young Master Zheng did send a lot of betrothal gifts over, his family still had to live on in the future.
She was going to send her son, Tianyu, to school. Only when he went to school could he be successful. Otherwise, he could only stay in the countryside for the rest of his life.
However, going to school was not a small expense. Over the years, Old Zhao's family had spent a lot of money to support Zhao Tianlong.
In addition, she was going to buy more land. Relying on the land at home, the amount of food they could grow each year was only enough to eat. It was almost impossible to save money.
In the future, if she wanted to be prosperous and build a new house like her second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law's family, she had to plan more and earn more money each year.
Huo Chunhua glared at Li Cuiying and continued to scold him, "If that's not what you meant, then what do you mean? Second Daughter-in-law, now that you're so stingy with money and unwilling to be filial to your in-laws, you won't be able to covet the things in your hands in the future!
