Eat My Childless Life: The Little Fisher Girl is Poor and Fierce

Chapter 112 is all about that exhilarating feeling of hating me to the core yet being unable to do a

Actually, I should have declined.

However, he wasn't doing it for the food. What if he went back and his companions asked him if he hadn't eaten anything? Wouldn't that be embarrassing for his second boss?

The guy quickly convinced himself and drank water and ate with a clear conscience, glancing outside every now and then at the little radishes sitting by the sandy field, chattering away.

I felt inexplicably envious.

The kitchen was faintly lit by firelight, and steam was rising from the pot.

When Lin Chang'er walked in, she smelled a familiar scent.

She paused, not quite remembering, and asked her mother, who was tending the fire, "Mother, what are you doing?"

"Chang'er is back. Did you suffer any misfortune outside?" Mother Gu came out from under the stove, not in a hurry to answer her question, but instead asked about Yang Cuihua and the others.

Lin Chang'er waved her hand, "It's alright, I'm fine, but Yang Cuihua and the others are."

Lin Chang'er suppressed a laugh and continued, "After giving the kids a good scolding, they should quiet down for a while."

Mother Gu pursed her lips and smiled at her, "That's good. Originally, your sister-in-law and I wanted to make a scene with them, but there were too many of them, so I thought we should just close the door and ignore them, leaving them to shout at thin air."

To everyone's surprise, these kids had even better ideas, even if they were terrible. After all, Yang Cuihua and the others weren't exactly good people to begin with.

Lin Chang'er smiled and praised without reservation: "Mother is right. When you're fighting, you still have to think things through. If we have the upper hand, we should fight them openly. If we're at a disadvantage, we should hide like we did today and let them curse us."

"Anyway, it won't hurt us if they curse us a few more times, right?"

Most importantly, as long as I can refrain from ignoring you, you can only get frustrated and angry on your own.

The point of fighting and tearing each other apart is that satisfying feeling of hating someone so much but being unable to do anything about it.

"You're right, Mother will remember." Mother Gu felt a sweet warmth in her heart upon hearing the praise, and her smile became even more pronounced.

Lin Chang'er was still thinking about what was in the pot, so she changed the subject again, "Mother hasn't told me what's in the pot yet."

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Gu's mother could only scratch her head and say, "Didn't you save some ground soybeans for me these past few days so I could see if I could make tofu?"

Lin Chang'er nodded, but this doesn't smell like tofu!

Mother Gu continued, "My brain isn't working well, so I couldn't make tofu, but this thing looks a lot like tofu and tastes pretty good. You came back late yesterday, and there were a lot of people at home, so I didn't keep any. Today I thought I'd make some for you to see, and see if we could make this and sell it."

As she spoke, Gu's mother opened the pot lid.

Then, Lin Chang'er stared at the pot in a daze for a while, and then hugged Gu's mother tightly, "Who said that Mother is not good-minded? This is tofu pudding! I was originally thinking of waiting until I had some free time to explore how to make it, but I didn't expect that Mother had already made it first."

Mother Gu's eyes widened. "So this thing can be used to make a living?"

Lin Chang'er nodded, "Of course! It can be sweet or savory. For sweet, add sugar; for savory, add sesame oil, soy sauce, and scallions. It's delicious! How did you eat it yesterday?"

Mother Gu smiled shyly and said, "I didn't think much of it. I added sugar yesterday, and the children were able to eat two bowls each."

Lin Chang'er wasn't surprised; material scarcity in this era was unlike that of later generations.

People rarely have the opportunity to come into contact with sugar in their daily lives, and this is even more understandable given that there are many children among them.

Lin Chang'er thought of something and said, "Uncle Pei still had someone drive me back today. That brother is sitting in the main room drinking water right now. I can invite him to have a bowl later."

After a pause, perhaps feeling it wasn't serious enough, she added, "Mother, are the dumplings and pancakes we're going to use tonight ready?"

Mrs. Gu nodded, "How much do you need? I'll go get it."

Lin Chang'er thought for a moment and said, "Let's get four celery and meat patties! Then cut some shredded meat and fry an egg."

"Okay, you watch the fire for me for a bit, I'll go fix it."

Finally, after waiting for more than fifteen minutes, the guy got to eat savory tofu pudding, celery and meat patties, and shredded pork and fried egg topping.

Not a single scallion was left. If it weren't for a group of little kids watching outside, the waiter would have liked to lick the bottom of the bowl clean.

However, since he had eaten an extra bowl of tofu pudding compared to his companion from yesterday, the waiter politely thanked the Gu family and then drove back to Sihai Restaurant with satisfaction.

As soon as he got out of the car, he gathered with several companions and told them about what had happened at the Gu family's house that day.

Then one of the workers said, "No wonder our second boss's daughter has to come out into the world to make a living; it must be really tough for her."

The waiter chimed in, "Who says otherwise! Our second boss is truly capable and tolerant. Otherwise, think about it, a young girl, not only was she devoured by her own relatives overnight, but even her funeral arrangements were made. How could she possibly accept that!"

The group of men nodded hurriedly.

Immediately someone sighed and said, "Fortunately, the second master is capable, and now he has met our third master. There is hope for the future."

The group nodded in agreement.

Then someone else asked, "Yesterday, Ah Si took the Second Boss home and they ate fried dumplings and shredded pork topping. What's Lao Liu having today? The Second Boss certainly won't let you go straight home, right?"

Ah Si, whose name was called, chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, Lao Liu, tell us what we ate today!"

Here it comes! Little did they know, Lao Liu had been waiting for this moment for a long time. It would be beneath him to bring it up on his own!

When they asked, Lao Liu licked his lips slowly, looking like he hadn't had enough, and said, "Today, I had tofu pudding! And celery and meat patties with shredded meat topping."

Upon hearing this, the other workers rubbed their hands excitedly, vying to say, "Shouldn't it be my turn to deliver it tomorrow?"

"It's clearly me, Xiao Ba! You dare to try and take it from me? I'll get angry!"

"No, you guys don't respect me, the fifth brother?"

A group of people were making a ruckus when a gentle male voice suddenly rang out from above, "What's all the noise about?"

When everyone looked up and saw that it was Pei Sihai, they quickly bowed respectfully.

These men were not originally waiters, but guards of the Wu family. They came with Pei Sihai, partly to help the lady of the house and partly to meet the Third Master.

Pei Sihai usually didn't put on airs when he was with them, so Ah Si and Lao Liu told him everything without hesitation.

Pei Sihai burst into laughter after hearing this, "So, you're all after Chang's cooking skills?"

The men grinned sheepishly, looking at Pei Sihai with expectant expressions.

Pei Sihai shook his head, "Dream on." It'll only be a short while. Next month, Chang'er will be getting her own car, so Pei Sihai will just let them have their way.

However, he seemed to have vaguely heard something about eating up someone's children's property and even making arrangements for their own funerals, but he didn't hear it clearly.

He waved his hand, signaling them to disperse, and then left Lao Liu alone.

Meanwhile, Lin Chang'er, far away in Linshui Village, was completely unaware that the job of driving her around had become highly sought after.
