Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife - Chapter 1050

Chapter 1050: An Unexpected Side Business ( 2 )
Mother Pan nodded at her sister’s words and said with a sigh, as if she was in trouble, “I already told Jiajia that, but she said most of it was grown or collected by the Li family from the mountains. They only bought a little meat, so it didn’t cost them much.”

An unmarried cousin perked up at this and asked, “Aunt, is life in the village really that good?”

Mother Pan glanced at her and replied, “That depends on the man you marry. If he’s hard working like my son-in-law, life can be wonderful. But if he is lazy, you will only suffer.”

“In the village, you earn points by working the land. Those points are exchanged for food once a year. Without effort, you would starve. My Jiajia is blessed. She found not only a capable husband but also a kind in-law,” Mother Pan said with a smile.

“Today’s banquet was prepared by Jiajia’s best friend, who will soon be her third sister-in-law. Her cooking is so good that once you taste it, you will never forget it!” she added with an exaggerated expression.

When everyone heard Mother Pan’s bragging, they sneered inwardly but only showed smiles on their faces, praising how lucky Pan Meijia was.

Seeing how they were clearly jealous but could only praise her family, Mother Pan felt very happy and proud.

Over the years, her husband’s relatives had always found fault with her and never accepted her into their family because they had wanted her husband to marry another woman.

Finally, all the suffering she had endured over the years paid off today with the lavish wedding banquet. After today, she was certain that not only would they need to flatter her, but they would also have to give way to her when they met. This feeling was so refreshing!

After a moment, Mother Pan’s sister asked, “Sister, we haven’t seen each other for a while, and you look much younger. It’s indeed as our ancestors said, when someone is happy, she looks younger than her age.”

The moment she said those words, the women’s eyes were glued to Mother Pan. At first, no one noticed the difference since they only met once every few years.

But now, after observing Mother Pan’s skin and complexion, they were surprised to find that she not only hadn’t aged, but looked even younger than the last time they saw her.

“Sister-in-law, now that I look at your skin, you indeed look much younger. If I told people that you are almost ten years older than me, no one would believe it. Right now, you look even younger than me!” the fourth aunt said with surprise.

While the words were full of praise, there was still a hint of envy and jealousy in the aunt’s tone.

“Sister-in-law, this is all thanks to our family’s Jiajia’s in-laws!” Mother Pan said while showing off her arms.

“Aunty, why does your skin have anything to do with your in-laws?” Pan Meijia’s cousin asked with a frown.

Hearing this, Mother Pan stood up and said meaningfully, “Wait for a moment. I will get something. When you see it, then you will know.”

After finishing her words, she went to her bedroom and took a jar of whitening cream. Although this cream was given by her daughter, her daughter had received it from Lu Jueyu. So, it wasn’t wrong to say that her youthful appearance was thanks to her.

When she returned, Pan Meijia had just finished her shower. The moment she saw the jar in her mother’s hand, she understood that her mother must have been low-key bragging again.

Since she still had to do her makeup and hair, she didn’t stay in the living room and quickly went to her room. To avoid her cousins entering her room without permission, she locked the door.

It wasn’t that she didn’t welcome them into her house, but her cousins liked to take her things even after she told them off whenever they entered her room.

At this moment, her room stored many good things sent by her boyfriend. She also had more than 220,000 yuan hidden in this room. She didn’t dare take the risk at all, as that money was all of her family’s wealth.

After what happened between her and Xiao Yiqing in the village, she no longer dared to trust anyone completely.

Even her best friend, who grew up with her, could change her personality and become like another person—let alone her cousins, with whom she rarely interacted.

Fortunately, her best friend managed to turn around and return to her previous self. Otherwise, she might have lost faith in friendship.

While she was doing her makeup and hair, Mother Pan had already shown the whitening cream to everyone in the living room.

Looking at the earthen jar, one of the cousins said, “Aunty, this cream doesn’t look like it was bought from the department store. Where did you get it?”

“This is handmade, of course it didn’t have the similar appearance like the one sold in the department store,” Mother Pan said with a smile.

“This cream was made by Jiajia’s third sister-in-law. All the ingredients are natural and from the mountains. She even added 500-year-old ginseng powder and several precious medicinal herbs,” Mother Pan explained.

“Is she that generous?” one of the aunts asked doubtfully.

“Of course, their Li family is known as the most generous and kind family in their village. Their reputation is excellent,” Mother Pan nodded.

Seeing that no one believed her, she opened the jar and let them smell the cream.

“How is it? You can smell the ginseng powder, right?” she asked.

After they took a sniff, they did indeed smell the faint scent of ginseng. But the most prominent scent was from mint and bamboo. As soon as they inhaled it, they felt refreshed and looked at the cream with surprise.

“Sister-in-law, are you sure this is a whitening cream and not a medicine? After I took a sniff, I felt so refreshed,” the third aunt said.
