Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 74 Your eyes are covered in eye boogers and you can't open them?
Hearing the noise, Li Chaochao poked her head out of the kitchen. "Who is it?"

The man did not answer, but quickly went to the kitchen.

"Miss Li, it's been a long time," Wu Ruolong said with a smile.

Li Chaochao said irritably, "Didn't we just see her this morning? Right when your mother was fighting with the old lady who sells spicy soup."

She saw that Wu Ruolong not only didn't help his mother, but also ran away with his face covered by a fan.

His disfigured face is more important than his mother; how heartbroken his mother would be if she knew.

As soon as you speak of the devil, Ren Si Niang walked into the courtyard and asked, "Miss Li, where is your mother? Why are you home alone?"

They inquired for a long time and traveled a long way before finally arriving here.

Li Ruru actually didn't come out to greet her; that's just too much.

Li Chaochao asked, "What do you want with my mother?"

As she spoke, she pushed Wu Ruolong out of the kitchen, saying, "What are you doing, a grown man, staring into my kitchen stove?"

Wu Ruolong chuckled awkwardly, "Well, hehe, Miss Chaochao is so virtuous, she can even make konjac tofu. I thought your mother made it."

Ren Si Niang was accompanied by a girl of about ten years old. Li Chaochao led the three of them to sit down at a large table in the courtyard, and she glared at Wu Rulong.

"Young master, are we acquaintances?"

How dare he, a mere outsider, call someone "Chaochao"? What a tactless and impolite fellow.

Wu Ruolong's face stiffened, and he blinked his flirtatious eyes.

Girls really fall for his charms; many are completely smitten.

But Li Chaochao asked coldly, "What? Are your eyes covered in eye boogers and you can't open them?"

Li Chaochao found Wu Ruolong's charm and allure completely awkward.

"Haha, sister, you're so funny." The girl who was sitting quietly to the side suddenly laughed.

She stood up and introduced herself: "My name is Wu Shuihua, and he is my brother. If he has offended my sister in any way, I apologize on his behalf."

Li Chaochao stared at the dark-skinned, chubby girl in front of her and asked, "How old are you?"

Wu Shuihua was overjoyed, "I'm 15."

Li Chaochao pouted, "I'm younger than you, so don't call me 'sister' without permission. It's too much for me."

Now, the expression of disgust shifted from Wu Ruolong's face to Wu Shuihua's.

Ren Si Niang quickly said, "Miss Li, our two families both do small businesses in the county town. We see each other all the time, so let's all get along well."

It means that Li Chaochao should stop arguing with people and acting like they owe her five hundred taels of silver.

"So you came here to...?" Li Chaochao asked.

"Sigh, I just came to see my little sister Ruru. Who knew she wasn't home? Look at the mess this has made."

"Visiting my mother? Then why did you come empty-handed, Auntie?"

"I...oh dear, I was in such a rush to leave that I forgot."

"My mother isn't here, so you can't see anything. Please leave." Li Chaochao was too tired to deal with the three of them anymore.

She doesn't know what these three people are up to yet, but they're definitely up to no good.

Ren Si Niang remained seated, a fake smile on her face. "Chao Chao, you're 12 already, right? Are you engaged?"

Li Chaochao didn't speak, but Ren Si Niang pushed her son forward and said, "What do you think of my son? Isn't he handsome? Isn't he a real catch? Think about it, we'll be family from now on."

Li Chaochao gave a forced smile, "My mother will take care of my marriage, so Aunt Ren doesn't need to worry about it."

Instead of wasting time, why not make more tofu? You could earn more money that way.

Wu Ruolong was completely out of her league; he was glib and obviously not an honest and upright person.

All Ren Si Niang could do was chuckle awkwardly; she suddenly realized she was at a loss. Li Chaochao wouldn't listen to her, and she couldn't put on airs as an elder.

Even her handsome son, Li Chaochao, didn't think much of him.

She was starting to doubt Li Chaochao's sexual orientation. Was this girl still immature?

She's already 12 years old, how come she doesn't have any feelings for her handsome eldest son?
How is this possible? !

Ren Si Niang was having a hard time accepting this blow, so Wu Shuihua spoke up, "Sister, oh no, little sister Chaochao, what were you busy with in the kitchen just now? Do you need my help?"

As she spoke, she rolled up her sleeves and said, "Let's do it together, I'm just killing time anyway."

Li Chaochao's eyes darted around. "Alright, why don't you all come and help?"

The three of them rushed to the kitchen, and Li Chaochao tapped on the table.

"Hey, where are you guys going?" he said, assigning tasks to the three of them.

"Sister Shuihua, could you shovel up the dog poop in the yard, clean up the chicken and rabbit burrows, and then go to the backyard and cut some grass?"

"Brother Ruolong, could you please help fetch water? Fill up all three large vats in the yard and then water all these vegetables."

"Aunt Ren, please chop up that pile of firewood in the yard and stack it neatly."

There's still a lot of work to do at home, and it's not enough for the three of us.

Li Chaochao rubbed his hands together. "Let's leave it at that for now. I'll assign you other tasks after you've finished."

After saying that, she smiled and said, "Thank you so much, you are such a kind family."

Ren Si Niang and her two children looked at each other, and all three remained seated.

Li Chaochao sneered, "You don't want to? Then please leave."

After saying that, she turned and went into the kitchen.

The three people in the courtyard began to discuss in hushed tones.

"What do we do now? Are we really going to have to do chores for her family?" Wu Ruolong was the first to object.

His hands are for reading and writing, how could they be used for rough work like carrying water?

Wu Shuihua also disagreed, saying, "Dog poop stinks so badly, it makes me nauseous."

Ren Si Niang didn't want to work at all. Why should she chop firewood for others when she was perfectly capable of doing so? She would rather go home and make tofu.

But now that they want to stay at Li Ruru's house, they have no choice but to make do for the time being.

"Let's get started, take our time," said Ren Si Niang. "We'll sneak into the kitchen to take a look when we have a chance."

They came for no other purpose than to see how Li Ruru's konjac tofu was made.

Ren Si Niang and Liu Po ​​Zi had eaten it several times, but they still couldn't figure out what was wrong with it.

She brought her two children today, determined to get her hands on that secret recipe.

The three of them started working absentmindedly. Wu Shuihua pinched her nose, shoveled the dog poop a few times, then threw down the shovel and went to the kitchen.

At this moment, Li Chaochao had just poured the wood ash water into the pot and picked up a rolling pin to stir it a few times.

When she saw Wu Shuihua come in, she was taken aback at first, then frowned and asked, "Finished shoveling the dog poop?"

Wu Shuihua ignored her question and asked, "What did you just put in the pot?"

Li Chaochao was a little flustered, but quickly calmed down and said casually, "Add what? Add water, of course."

Wu Shuihua felt something was off. She looked at the large basin that had been used and saw some gray liquid remaining inside.

"Is this water? The color is off."
