“Achoo.” Shen Yijia rubbed her nose and tightened her grip on her jacket. The weather in Xunyang City was much colder than in Xiagou Village. Shen Yijia had been wearing her jacket for a few days.

It had to be said that Mo Yuan was really omnipotent. It was unknown how her mysterious young lady taught her.

Not only was she the one preparing their daily meals, but she was also the one who sewed their winter clothes.

If not for the fact that she was short of money, Shen Yijia would have raised her monthly salary.

“Sister Jiajia, did you catch a cold? I’ll get someone to add another charcoal basin,” Liu Piaopiao asked with concern.

The two of them sat on a soft couch. On the table in the middle was a plate of roasted chicken.

Apart from the two of them, Cai Yun and Mo Yuan stood beside their young madams and waited on them.

Shen Yijia stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth and waved her hand. “No need. One is enough.”

Although she had already understood that the Liu family was in the charcoal business, she could not waste things like this.

That’s right, the heartless Shen Yijia was finally conquered by Liu Piaopiao.

Now, there was no need for Liu Piaopiao to look for her. Shen Yijia would come to the Liu residence every few days.

Most importantly, the Liu family was rich. The Liu family’s roasted chicken was delicious. Not only that, but the Liu family also had a well-spoken person.

Hearing her words, Liu Piaopiao did not ask for a servant to add more charcoal.

Seeing that Shen Yijia had already gone to the side to wash her hands, she swallowed and asked tentatively, “Sister Jiajia, do you still want to eat the remaining half of the roasted chicken?”

After washing her hands, Shen Yijia took a handkerchief from Mo Yuan and wiped her hands dry before sitting on the soft couch. She touched her full stomach and shook her head. “I’m not eating anymore. I’ll bring the rest back for my husband to eat.”

Liu Piaopiao stayed silent.

She silently retracted her hand and said, “Sister Jiajia, do you think I’ve lost weight recently?”

Cai Yun’s heart ached as she looked at her Miss’s small stomach. She had lost weight.

The old lady from the in-laws was worried that her granddaughter would be starved and thin, so she specially brought back more than ten chickens. In the end, not a single one fell into Miss’s stomach.

If Miss Liu ate it herself, she could still give the rest away. But now…

“Have you lost weight?” Shen Yijia stopped packing half a roasted chicken and carefully sized up Liu Piaopiao.

Her face was still chubby, but when she thought about how this person praised her every day, she nodded. “You seem to have lost weight. You look much better.”

Women liked to be praised for being thin.

Unexpectedly, Liu Piaopiao’s face fell when she heard this. “But my father said that the meat on my body is a blessing. My family’s business depends on this blessing.”

Shen Yijia thought to herself, “No wonder she’s so heavy. She’s the only one in Xunyang City who has money. How can she not be heavy?”

“Don’t you want to lose weight? Don’t you want to wear beautiful clothes?” Shen Yijia asked tactfully.

Although the chubby Liu Piaopiao was also cute, every time she took a few steps, she would pant heavily. Shen Yijia was worried that she would not be able to catch her breath.

“Yes.” Liu Piaopiao leaned towards Shen Yijia, her eyes filled with yearning, but she quickly hid it.

She shook her head. “I shouldn’t think about it. If I lose weight, our family’s blessings will be gone. What if I become like everyone else and can’t eat?”

“That’s right.” If that was the case, it was indeed a little serious, but she couldn’t just leave her goals because of that.

Shen Yijia thought for a moment and suggested, “You can raise a pig. Transfer your blessings to it and let it carry the fat instead. If it gets too fat, you can even eat pork.”

Liu Piaopiao’s eyes lit up. “Sister Jiajia, you’re so smart. It doesn’t matter if I lose weight?”

“Blessings rest on that pig. Of course it doesn’t matter if you’re skinny or not,” Shen Yijia said firmly.

Cai Yun thought to herself, “I somehow feel that my lady has been offended, but look at how excited she is…”

Forget it. It was fine as long as Miss was happy. Whether she could lose weight depended on whether Master was willing to let her do so.

“Then I’ll immediately get someone to get a piglet to raise. Then this roasted chicken…”

Without waiting for Liu Piaopiao to finish, Shen Yijia wrapped the roasted chicken up and put it into her sling bag. “I’ll take it with me. You have to start losing weight now.”

She had specially asked Mo Yuan to sew the cloth bag for her. Every time she came to the Liu family, she would carry it. As for the reason, it was obvious.

However, Shen Yijia would never admit that it was to make it easier to bring back some food every time.

“Then I have to eat my fill to have the strength to lose weight.” Liu Piaopiao struggled one last time. This was the last chicken.

“That makes sense.” Shen Yijia nodded and took out two round potatoes from her cloth bag. “I specially brought these for you. You can eat them after roasting them in the charcoal basin.”

Although there were potatoes at home previously, no one could see them yet.

Therefore, she did not take it out to entertain Liu Piaopiao.

Today was different. Apart from freeloading, she also came to give her this.

Courtesy demanded reciprocity. If she didn’t give it to her now, it would lose its novelty soon.

Liu Piaopiao did not expect Shen Yijia to specially bring her a gift. She immediately smiled.

Without asking what it was, he took it and instructed Cai Yun to throw it into the charcoal basin as Shen Yijia had instructed.

Cai Yun hesitated. Could this thing be eaten? Why had she never seen it before?

Her young mistress had been eating expensive food since she was young. How could she eat something of unknown origin?

Shen Yijia could tell what she was thinking. This was the first time she had seen someone like this. She did not think much of it and explained, “Don’t worry, I’ve eaten it before.”

These days, not only did Mo Yuan cook all kinds of dishes for her according to her description, but she also created a few new dishes. Shen Yijia loved braised potatoes the most.

However, she guessed that Liu Piaopiao would like potato cakes. They were sweet with sugar. She could get Mo Yuan to make some for her next time.

“Cai Yun,” Liu Piaopiao urged.

Cai Yun could only do as she was told. She glared at Shen Yijia angrily.

Shen Yijia rubbed her nose in confusion and got up to leave.

“Sister Jiajia, aren’t you going to sit for a while longer?” Liu Piaopiao quickly asked.

Shen Yijia waved her hand. She had finished the roasted chicken and given away the food. She wanted to go home and accompany her beautiful husband.

As they walked on the streets, they could see many people rushing towards the city gate.

The people who had received the potatoes gathered in groups of two or three to discuss, but everyone was smiling.

Looking at this scene, Shen Yijia puffed out her chest and felt inexplicably proud.

Those were all potatoes planted by her and her beautiful husband.

However, her heart ached for the spiritual liquid that she had painstakingly saved.

Just as Shen Yijia was letting her imagination run wild, she vaguely heard someone call out again, “Young lady, young lady…”

The voice was a little familiar. Shen Yijia paused and asked Mo Yuan, “Is someone calling me?”

Mo Yuan shook her head. “Miss, you heard wrongly. No.”
