Chapter 1379 - Chapter 1379 Chapter 1178 Insults_1
Chapter 1379: Chapter 1178: Insults_1 Chapter 1379: Chapter 1178: Insults_1 The extermination of Tianlong Gang couldn’t happen without Bei Lingsu.
Light body skills.
Medical skills.
Truly enviable abilities.
And she could only stay in the kitchen, her body covered with the smell of soot and grease, circling around the stove.
Moreover, she carried the heavy burden of debt, and aside from the daily expenses, all the family’s silver had to be handed over to Yang Wenxiao.
She used to not feel anything about this kind of life, but now, compared with Bei Lingsu, she felt just like the original owner, like a rat hiding in the gutter.
In the past, she was content being a village girl, always feeling that a simple life was the most touching.
But now…
Her nose tingled, and her eyes began to feel hot again. She quickly bit her lower lip, trying to force back the tears.
She couldn’t cry.
Crying was utterly useless.
She couldn’t cry.
She stood up, turned her head to look at the stove, not wanting Yang Ye to notice anything unusual, “Ask Miss Bei what she wants to eat.”
“Got it!” Yang Ye’s mind was completely focused on the operation against Tianlong Gang, and upon hearing this, he quickly went out.
With Qiao Xiaomai’s response, Bei Lingsu thought for a moment, then nodded, “Then, how long is this timeframe?”
“That depends on Miss Bei, ah. The more help you offer in this operation against the gang, the more delicacies Miss Qiao will cook for you, and the longer the service will last.”
“Good.” Bei Lingsu nodded decisively.
For the sake of delicious food, she would offer her help!
“Then what do you want to eat? I’ll go tell her, so she can make it for you these next few days,” Yang Ye added.
“No need, I’ll go tell her myself.” Bei Lingsu waved her hand. The foods she wanted to eat were numerous. She lived on Sea Island, which wasn’t large and didn’t have abundant vegetation. There were indigenous residents who lived off rice cultivation and fishing; those were the foods she ate most since childhood.
She was tired of them long ago.
The thing she was happiest about coming to the mainland was that she could enjoy many delicacies that the island lacked.
Thinking of the foods her family elders used to mention, she wiped her mouth and stood up to go find Qiao Xiaomai.
When Qiao Xiaomai saw Bei Lingsu, she tried hard to suppress the negative emotions in her heart, smiling as she listened to Bei Lingsu list off the foods.
After Bei Lingsu finished speaking, she left with light steps. Qiao Xiaomai watched her go, taking a deep breath.
Truly…
Skilled in battle and in healing, Bei Lingsu was a living legend.
She, merely a chef, a village girl, couldn’t possibly claim that title.
After taking a deep breath again, she called the fire-starting soldiers to go out and buy ingredients.
Bei Lingsu left the kitchen and stepped forward to find the Zhang Family.
Zhang Family had eaten breakfast and taken her medicine. After inspecting Zhang Family’s eyes and expressing a few more concerns, Bei Lingsu turned to leave.
Zhang Family didn’t cling to her; once she left, Zhang Family had the maids take her out to bask in the sun.
Zhang Family hadn’t been outdoors for many days, and basking in the sun was a minor request. The maids, after consulting with Tong Sanlang, carried her out.
By that time, Tong Sanlang and Bei Lingsu had already left, and Yang Ye and Niu Dacheng had gone to the Military Camp.
With these people gone, Zhang Family grew bolder and started shouting in the direction of the kitchen.
“Bad luck charm, if you truly care about Sanlang, then just get lost already! You’ve been married for so long without any movement in your belly. Like a hen that doesn’t lay eggs, don’t occupy the nest–hurry up and leave.”
Upon hearing these words, Qiao Xiaomai showed no reaction.
“I’m telling you, if you don’t leave, I’ll make Sanlang send you away. Sanlang was naive before and got charmed by a fox like you. But now he has met Miss Bei Lingsu, a lady of good family, beauty, and life-saving skills–she’s an excellent choice for a wife.”
“Comparing yourself to Miss Bei, you’re like a dirt chicken to a phoenix. Go take a good look at your own face in some urine, then pack up your things and get out. If you obstruct Sanlang’s good marriage, beware of the heavenly lightning that might strike you!”
