Liang Yuening clenched his sleeve with distress and gently pressed it onto her sweat-drenched forehead. The kitchen was smoky and sweltering, enough to exhaust his wife. Look, she was sweating already. But it would have been better if he hadn’t wiped it, because once he did... Hmm, the little wife immediately turned into a little tabby cat. It couldn’t be helped, it was really because Liang Yuening’s sleeves were too dirty, covered in dust and grime. So, next, Gao’s courtyard set up tables, and the food was served. The villagers pulled up chairs to sit down or stood by the table, clutching bowls brimming with white rice. They ate so deliciously, scarfing down the food voraciously with their chopsticks moving rapidly. The change had begun imperceptibly. In the past, these people were afraid of Dong Huiying, worried about her fierce reputation and afraid she might lose control of her temper and lash out. Their understanding of Dong Huiying was truly too scant. But after today, they gained a little more insight into her. This Lady Xiao Dong... Hmm, possessed divine culinary skills! After dark, everyone made their noisy way back home, all their talk centered around that Lady Xiao Dong. They said looks could be deceiving, that they only knew Lady Xiao Dong had a bad temper and was physically strong, treated the Liang Family Brothers poorly, went crazy and beat people at the drop of a hat, and was utterly useless. But who would have thought her cooking was so delicious? She was simply a born Cook! But there were some discordant voices. "Us women should be out earning money to support the family. It’s natural for the men to do the household chores. Even if she can cook well, what of it? Does it not bring shame to us women?" This person was not very old. At least compared to those in their thirties or forties, she was young. Her appearance suggested she might be twenty-four or twenty-five at most. What was distinctive was that she had a bulbous nose, but her eyes were quite big and rather intimidating when she glared. "Eh? Lady Guo, that’s not right! You say after eating someone else’s food, you still look down on them behind their backs? How come I remember? During the meal, you ate the most." "If it’s free, why not eat? The more you eat, the better. Eating is right!" Everyone was speechless: "..." Aunt Lin was a bit displeased. "Between husband and wife, they have their own way of getting along. Lady Xiao Dong is different from ordinary women; she may have been unkind to the Liang brothers before, but she acknowledged her faults and changed her ways, and there is nothing greater than improving oneself. In my view, the way they complement each other is just right." After all, the Liang Family Brothers were a handful themselves. Ordinary women would probably not be able to handle them. Lady Guo snorted with laughter: "True, after all, that entire family is a bunch of misfits. The lady of the house is a little dwarf, never grown up. She’s nineteen this year, right? My eleven-year-old cousin is already taller than her. And those Liang brothers, they’re all tall and huge with none of the gentle beauty of men. It’s quite a match indeed, as their peculiar traits seem to have swapped between the sexes." Aunt Lin frowned, "You should accumulate some good karma with your words. You just finished eating their food, took their copper coin, and now you’re slandering them—what are you thinking inside?" "Hmph, if the talk doesn’t suit, don’t say more!" Lady Guo turned her face away, aware that her words were not well-received. She kept silent from then on, but the disdain in her heart did not diminish in the slightest.
