The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

Gao Qinghe gestured for her cousin and his wife to sit down first.

Leaving Jiang Qiyue, the little social butterfly, behind to liven things up, I went back to my room to take a shower and change into comfortable loungewear.

During the kindergarten's big clean-up, the children are mainly there to participate, but it's actually the parents who do the actual work.

Gao Qinghe slacked off the whole time, but still inevitably got covered in dust.

I changed my clothes to change my mood, and I also figured out the arrangements for my cousin and his wife.

Gao Qinghe walked out of the room looking refreshed and found her cousin playing games with Jiang Qiyue.

Two people, one big and one small, sat facing each other at opposite ends of the coffee table, each holding a toy and fighting.

It was clear that the two were not very familiar with each other. Jiang Qiyue was quite polite to her uncle and did not start to take advantage of him during the fight.

Li Fang was already busy in the kitchen, while Qi Lianxin stood beside her, urging her to stop. She chuckled and said:
"It's alright, Aunt Wu. Women who grew up in the countryside have known how to cook since they were little. You still need to take care of your hands, so go and rest. I know how to use this stove, so don't worry, it won't set your kitchen on fire."

Qi Lianxin smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, it's not right to let guests cook. Come out and rest for a while, we'll eat out later."

Li Fang frowned, "Eating out is so expensive!"

She said generously, "This is what I came to the city to do. You can rest assured that you will take care of the family's three meals a day. Today I will show off my skills and let my sister-in-law test them in a bit."

Everyone in Zhao Village knows that Jiang Baohai married a picky and spoiled wife. Although Li Fang is all smiles on the surface, she is actually quite uneasy inside, afraid that she will not be able to pass the test.

Qi Lianxin realized she had misunderstood and thought to herself, "I'm doomed."

Just as she was about to say it directly, a hand gently landed on her shoulder.

Qi Lianxin turned around in a panic, and when she met Gao Qinghe's smiling face, her heart skipped a beat.

"It's alright, Mom. This is my sister-in-law, not a stranger. We're family, no need to be so polite, right, sister-in-law?" Gao Qinghe asked with a smile towards the kitchen.

Li Fang was taken aback, wondering when she had appeared. She walked without making a sound, which was terrifying.

Realizing what she had said, she quickly nodded, "That's right, Aunt Wu, just wait for dinner!"

Chong Gaoqing smiled nervously, tied on her apron, and immediately began making dinner.

Qi Lianxin winked: Didn't we say we wouldn't let her come to our house as a nanny?

Gao Qinghe raised an eyebrow: Yes.

Qi Lianxin stared in disbelief: "How dare you let someone cook dinner for us? They're our guests!"
Gao Qinghe shrugged: Who says guests can't cook?
She meticulously planned a path to wealth for her cousin and his wife, so isn't it only right that they eat a meal cooked by her?

Qi Lianxin: "."

Why does she have such a shameless daughter-in-law?

Anyway, she didn't have the final say in this family, so Qi Lianxin covered her face and decisively went to play house with her granddaughter.

However, Jiang Chengzhu did not let her off the hook either.

He subtly inquired about the work Jiang Baohai had arranged for him.

"Fifth Aunt, Xiao Hai said when I can start work? Look at us, we're new here and don't even have a place to stay. Can we wait a couple of days? I want to rent a place and settle down first."

Seeing that Qi Lianxin did not answer immediately, Jiang Chengzhu thought she was having trouble answering, so he quickly assured her that he only needed one day and would definitely not delay things.

Gao Qinghe called out, "Dinner's ready!"

They saved Qilian Xin, who was at a loss for words.

Li Fang brought the food to the table. There were four adults and one child. She made three dishes and a soup, just the right amount, to ensure that everyone had enough to eat without wasting any.

She even steamed a small bowl of egg custard for Jiang Qiyue separately, adding a drop of sesame oil and a drop of soy sauce, which made Gao Qinghe secretly swallow her saliva.

So, under the pretext of feeding her daughter, she ate one spoonful of food herself, and was very happy.

Seeing the steamed egg custard in her bowl disappearing quickly, Jiang Qiyue protested angrily, "It's almost gone!"

It meant she only had a little left, and Mom shouldn't eat anymore. Gao Qinghe coughed twice, her reluctant gaze lingering on the steamed egg custard. She closed her eyes firmly for a moment, then opened them again, "Alright, alright, you can have it all. Finish it in one bite, ah—"

Jiang Qiyue opened her mouth wide, and Gao Qinghe spooned the last of the steamed egg custard into her mouth.

Jiang Qiyue happily stood on her tiptoes, pointed her little head with her cheeks puffed out, and said, "Delicious!"

Gao Qinghe looked at Li Fang and said, "Sister-in-law, you cook so well, did you learn how to cook on purpose?"

She tried all the other dishes, and they all tasted pretty good.

If Grandma Tian is ranked first and Qi Lianxin is ranked second, Gao Qinghe thinks that Li Fang's cooking skills are ranked 2.5 among the people she knows, which is even slightly better than Zheng Xiaopeng, who is ranked third.

There's no other reason than that Li Fang cooks faster.

Gao Qinghe nodded secretly, feeling that the path to wealth she had devised for the couple was a perfect fit for them.

Li Fang waved her hand modestly and said, "I didn't specifically learn it. I just helped out when the master chefs at the factory were cooking, and I learned some little tricks that others don't."

Jiang Chengzhu also said, "The food in our factory canteen was so good that even the county magistrate praised it back in the day."

He paused abruptly, realizing that he and his wife no longer worked at the factory. He awkwardly touched his nose, looking somewhat embarrassed.

Li Fang patted her husband's arm, "What's past is past. We're perfectly healthy, why should we be afraid of not finding a job?"

As she spoke, she looked up at Gao Qinghe with eager eyes, "And there are my sister-in-law and fifth aunt here too."

"Sister-in-law, tell me the truth, what do you think of my cooking? If you have any opinions, please let me know, and I'll adjust it next time."

Gao Qinghe put down her chopsticks, gave a thumbs-up, and said, "Full marks."

Jiang Qiyue, imitating her mother, also gave a thumbs up and said, "Full marks!"

This remark amused everyone.

Seeing that the atmosphere was right, Gao Qinghe suggested, "Brother and sister-in-law, would you like to start a small business in the provincial capital?"

Jiang Chengzhu, who had just finished eating and was about to put down his chopsticks, paused and exchanged a bewildered glance with his wife, Li Fang.

Didn't Fifth Aunt say she had already made arrangements for them?
Li Fang suddenly became a little anxious, but Jiang Chengzhu calmed her down. He gently put down his chopsticks and tentatively asked:
"What kind of small business are you talking about, sister-in-law?"

Gao Qinghe glanced at Li Fang and said, "I watched my sister-in-law cook just now and found that she cooks very quickly, and the food tastes much better than the snacks I eat at the street stalls."

"I was thinking at the time that my sister-in-law's skills should not be wasted. If she set up a night market stall in a park or square, the business would definitely be booming."

Li Fang asked curiously, "A night market stall?"

There is no night market in Qingxian County, but there are a few stalls that set up regularly in the evenings, specifically in front of nightclubs, and quite a few people go there to support their business at night.

Because it wasn't large-scale, it didn't develop into a night market concept.

Jiang Chengzhu had heard about it from a colleague who had previously gone on a business trip to another city.

They say there are people selling food in the south late at night, and the streets are still full of people even in the middle of the night.

Especially at the gates of large factories, workers would go out for late-night snacks after their night shifts, and over time this developed into a large-scale night market street.

"Even people in the provincial capital have a night market street?" Jiang Chengzhu asked curiously.

Gao Qinghe nodded. "The night market streets in the provincial capital are so lively. Shall we go check them out together later?"

The couple realized that Gao Qinghe hadn't mentioned going to work since she came in, and they guessed that their sister-in-law had no intention of arranging for them to go to the company.

However, since she invited them into the city, she certainly wouldn't ignore them.

The couple looked at each other, suppressed their disappointment, and nodded: "Okay."

Since we're already here, let's take a look and see what happens. (End of Chapter)
