108 Of Course There’s Enough!

As noon approached, Ji Zhao had already prepared a large plate of braised chicken.

The chicken pieces enveloped in sauce and the emerald green chili pieces emitted a fragrant and spicy smell. They were fresh and delicious, making one drool.

“It smells so good. Ah Tao, what delicious food did you make?” Madam Xie entered the kitchen as if no one was around and asked happily, “Ah Tao, why have your culinary skills suddenly become so good?”

Madam Xie reached out and grabbed a big drumstick. It was so hot that she stomped her feet, but she was unwilling to put down the drumstick in her hand!

“My mother-in-law taught me well.” Ji Zhao questioned with a straight face. “Is there anything else?”

“This drumstick tastes so good!” Madam Xie took a bite of the drumstick and smiled happily. “Ah Tao, do you still remember? When you were young, your cousin, Ji Huai, specially hid a drumstick for you to eat! You didn’t forget, right?”

An image suddenly appeared in Ji Zhao’s mind. The three-year-old Ji Ah Tao was staring at a big drumstick with a dirty face and drooling!

The owner of the drumstick was an eight-year-old fatty with a fierce face.

“You want to eat it?” The little fatty suddenly narrowed his eyes and his smile was very greasy.

He actually raised one of his legs and placed it on a bamboo stool at the side. He said proudly, “If you crawl under my leg like a dog, I’ll give you this drumstick. How about that?”

At that time, the original host really wanted to eat that drumstick, so she did as she was told.

However, just as she was about to crawl over, the little fatty stepped on her back forcefully. It was so painful that she gasped!

Unable to withstand the pain, Ji Ah Tao cried loudly, attracting the attention of the adults who were drinking and chatting in the room!

When the adults rushed over, the little fatty suddenly cried loudly!

Madam Xie, who felt sorry for her grandson, slapped the original host twice in anger!

In the end, the little fatty threw the drumstick in front of her!

“I don’t remember,” Ji Zhao said expressionlessly. “It’s getting late. You should go back early!”

“Ah Tao,” Madam Xie narrowed her eyes in displeasure and mocked, “You can’t be so heartless! How well did your cousin Ji Huai treat you in the past? Have you forgotten? Now that something has happened to him, you should help! Besides, if I hadn’t made the decision to marry you into the Shen family, would you have been able to live so well?”

“You mean I should thank you?” Ji Zhao was amused. “Anyway, I can’t do anything about Ji Huai, but if you want silver…”

“That’s right! Tell me, how much silver can you get for Grandma?” When Madam Xie heard the word silver, her eyes lit up!

“If you want silver, of course there’s enough!” Ji Zhao could not help but raise her eyebrows and smile.

“Aiyo, good Ah Tao! You’re really too good! I don’t want much. Can you give me 50 taels first?” Madam Xie smiled happily. “You don’t know, your Grandpa Pan’s house is really too dilapidated. The roof has to be repaired. Otherwise, it’s really impossible to live in…”

“Grandma, I’ll secretly get you some silver later, okay?” Ji Zhao deliberately lowered her voice and said, “It won’t be good if my mother-in-law sees it later. Why don’t you wait for me outside the courtyard first?”

“Alright, alright!” Madam Xie nodded vigorously!

As long as she could get the money, she would do anything!

Ji Zhao coaxed Madam Xie out of the Shen family’s courtyard. Then, she hurriedly went to the central room and whispered into Zhao Lanhua’s ear.

“Ah Tao, are you really going to do this?”
