Adorable Kids in Space: Lucky Wife is So Carefree

Chapter 68 Tang Dashi's Attempt to Steal a Chicken Backfires!

Tang Dashi never expected that his well-laid plan would be ruined by the Jiang family.

Ever since he heard that Ru Xiu had married into a wealthy family and was living a life of luxury, and that she had even raised chickens, fish and shrimp on a piece of barren mountain land that originally belonged to Tang Laoqi's family, and that she could even sell the cheapest vegetables to Baixianglou, his newlywed concubine, Qin Shi, was furious.

Every day, Qin would nag incessantly in her ear, constantly saying that the mountain and the small pond originally belonged to her family, and that Ruxiu had gotten a free ride. She felt that Ruxiu's old house in the village should also be taken back, since they had severed all ties and had no relation to Tang Laoqi anymore, so why should he still live in her house?

Seeing Ru Xiu's family now living a life of luxury, hiring people, buying cars, and even employing servants, and occasionally encountering people in town who were dressed better than her and bought meat and grain without batting an eye, made Qin Shi grit her teeth in hatred. She felt that all of this should have been hers all along.

She was furious to hear that that wretched woman had even rented the Mo Garden, a place even the wealthy considered too expensive. She'd heard rumors that feng shui masters said the Mo Garden was a place that produced great people, and that living there would bring good fortune.

Now that he's let that slut stay, won't his two sons go off to study and get promoted?

Then Qin thought about her two little rascals at home, who were always setting traps for her and complaining to Jiang every day, causing her to be ridiculed by Jiang.

If they were truly scholars, it would be one thing, but the two of them were inconsistent in their studies at the academy, often getting into fights, and Tang Dashi was forced to clean up their messes and pay a lot of money in compensation.

But Jiang treated her two grandsons like the apples of her eye, unable to scold or hit them, which was infuriating.

Qin's mind is twisted and perverse, so she naturally keeps nagging Tang Dashi every day. Tang Dashi just can't stand seeing Ru Xiu's family doing well. He felt cheated when the family was divided, so he naturally wants to find a way to turn the tables.

Tang Dafu and Tang Ercai also whispered in Tang Dashi's ear every day, urging him to kick Ruxiu's family back to the village. They also demanded that their father guarantee that the two little beggars would never be allowed to study at Wenhua Academy, otherwise they would lose face.

The two boys had only heard that Ruxiu's family had moved to town, but they had never met them, so they assumed that the family must have come up barefoot.

Tang Dashi had planned everything perfectly; those two packets of rat poison would have been enough to kill all the chickens, fish, and shrimp. Unexpectedly, his parents carelessly allowed that idiot Zhang to carry out the poisoning alone, causing the family to lose not only twenty taels of silver but also face. To make matters worse, Ruxiu donated the silver to her descendants to enhance their reputation. It infuriated him!

Under Tang Xin's coercion, his own parents even hired the best doctor in town for Zhang Shi, which cost him ten taels of silver for nothing. He only remembered being angry, but he didn't realize that the money was actually used for his wife, and that she was suffering for him.

Tang Xin now uses serving Zhang as an excuse to stop doing all the dirty and tiring housework. Her fierceness at such a young age is somewhat like Jiang's. Zhang has also become strange and eccentric, probably because she really did encounter a ghost that night.

There was no one to do the work in the house, and Tang Laoqi couldn't get a word out of her no matter how much he hit her. This made Jiang Shi so angry that she often came to the house that Tang Dashi rented to make a scene, wanting Qin Shi to go back to work. Twice she even went to the shop where she did the accounting, and the owner was already unhappy.

Tang Dashi became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and the angrier he became, the more he thought about it.

In the second episode after Bai Xiang Lou helped bring back the dolls, Master Zhang sent another message to Ru Xiu: Order 1,000 catties of dried fish and 1,000 catties of dried shrimp for the New Year, and deliver them as soon as possible.

The price of dried fish was eighty coins, and the price of dried shrimp was two hundred coins. Although after drying, a pound of fish and shrimp would yield less than four ounces, the price was still quite high, and Ru Xiu was overjoyed.

According to Manager Wang, the dried fish and dried shrimp are destined for Shanghang County and the capital, and they won't fetch a good price in this small place.

Ru Xiu was even busier. Whenever she had time, she would go into her space to dry fish and shrimp. Fortunately, the dryer was very powerful, and she completed half of the order in just a few days.

Second Aunt, Cai Feng, and Uncle Li were also busy, but they used the most traditional methods to kill and dry the fish, which was much slower.

On the mountain, Uncle Li was cleaning fish, and Cai Feng was in charge of drying them; they were so busy that you couldn't see their heads or tails.

In the garden, Tang Ershi was cleaning fish, his second aunt was drying them, Shiwu was also helping out, and Ruxiu was helping out as much as she could.

As a result, Auntie Er, Caifeng, and Ruxiu could no longer be of much help with the dolls in Sister Shi's hands.

She and Ziyi were also busy like spinning tops, but with their mother backing them up and saying that she would find a way to solve everything, Shijie wasn't too overwhelmed. She still managed to find time to read, learn characters, and practice martial arts every day, while Ziyi would only come out and practice a few moves when her eyes were tired.

We've used up a lot of firewood lately. The firewood we brought from home is all gone. Ruxiu asked her son-in-law Li to collect a lot more from the village. We need to have more on hand, because it usually snows a little in Jiangnan in winter, and it gets very cold.

As the weather gets colder, the children's hands and feet are afraid of getting cold while studying and doing crafts. Ru Xiu asked Manager Wang to help collect a lot of charcoal. The children are working too hard, so they are using the charcoal in the room.

The original owner of this house left behind quite a few small charcoal stoves and hand warmers, which are all in good working order.

The small pools on the mountain and the garden behind it are all spring water, always steaming. But soaking your hands in the water all the time makes them wrinkled. Luckily, the medicine cabinet in the space had opened the sixth compartment and had cracking ointment. Ru Xiu even changed the packaging and gave everyone a box so they wouldn't suffer too much. Otherwise, dry, cracked, and bleeding hands and feet would be itchy and painful.

Ru Xiu had already told them to stop working after these two days. Anyway, Ru Xiu hadn't revealed the amount of orders Mr. Zhang and the others had placed, and they wouldn't ask. A few more days of hard work in the space would be enough for Ru Xiu.

Ruxiu has stockpiled a lot of grain recently, and the cellar is already more than half full. Her second aunt has also brought in a lot of cabbages and radishes.
