Chapter 196 -196 The Bizarre Curse Technique
After returning home, Yue Xiaofang was not in high spirits.
She had not expected her stable job to suddenly develop unexpected complications.
Initially, Yue Xiaofang had thought it through, that in the worst case, she could open her own shop and be her own boss.
But when that really seemed to be the only option, she started to feel lost.
Could someone like her really do business like her older brother?
Lin Chunju, always sensitive to the emotions of her family, noticed her daughter’s low spirits and quickly asked what was wrong.
Yue Xiaofang did not hide anything and recounted the whole situation.
Since the matter had settled, Lin Chunju didn’t make any further comments about the two people involved.
Instead, she reassured Yue Xiaofang with a smile, “Actually, I have the same thought as your eldest brother, you’ve been often going to the city, and it makes your mother anxious.”

The Yue Family was considered progressive, allowing their children to go to the city frequently.
In the village, many conservative families wouldn’t let their children visit, fearing traffickers and the possibility of their naive kids being arrested for things they didn’t understand.
Yue Xiaofang forced a smile, “I won’t go to the city anymore. I’m thinking of opening a tailor shop in the village, but I’m afraid there’s no suitable location and that nobody would come.”
Lin Chunju slapped her forehead, “Isn’t there a ready-made place? The two-story building that was supposed to be your third brother’s marital home is big enough for this exact purpose.”
Anyways, that boy won’t be getting married until he finishes his studies, and who knows when that will be.
It would be a waste to leave the house empty.
Yue Xiaofang voiced her concern, “There’s a lot of new furniture and appliances inside, I’m afraid they might get damaged.”
“Isn’t that perfect? Move the appliances upstairs. If you’re tired from working, you can stay over without having to run back home. Besides, a house without inhabitants loses its spirit, even if it’s new, it would start to look shabby.”
Persuaded by her mother, Yue Xiaofang’s vague idea began to solidify.
“Then I’ll give it a try and see if I get any customers; if I do, I’ll continue.”
Lin Chunju patted her hand, “Old lady Zhou said that people have always wanted to commission your work, but they were worried that your fine skills would come at a high price. Now that you don’t have to split the earnings with Boss Shi, you can offer a more affordable price, and customers will definitely flock to you.”
Hearing her mother’s exaggerated tone, Yue Xiaofang let out a chuckle.
She said bashfully, “We haven’t even taken the first step yet, and mother is talking as if I am about to strike it rich.”
“Just you watch, mother’s intuition is really sharp.”
Seeing that Yue Xiaofang’s eyes were no longer forlorn, Lin Chunju smiled, “Start planning, and I’ll go to the kitchen to prepare the braised meat.”
At the mention of braised meat, Yue Qingqing’s eyes lit up instantly.
She followed her grandmother into the kitchen, step by step.
Lin Chunju took the marinated meat out of the jar, placed it on the cutting board, and began to chop it, planning to later add it to the braising sauce for flavor.
Watching Yue Qingqing crane her neck with the eager look of a little glutton fixated on the meat, Lin Chunju couldn’t help but laugh.
After laughing, she sighed inwardly.
Why did the children of the Yue Family face so many hardships?
The wife of the eldest son couldn’t have children, and the second son had been bullied since he was young, which made him develop a sharp and uncommunicative disposition.
Jiannan and Xiaofang’s marriage was also problematic.
Xiaofang had finally found a stable job, only for such an incident to happen out of the blue.
Sigh, the members of the Yue Family work so hard, but it seems like fate always likes to play tricks on them.
Her mind preoccupied, Lin Chunju slipped up and the knife slid down along her fingertip.
The kitchen knife in Lin Chunju’s hand had just been sharpened and was very sharp.
If it had made a deep cut, it could have sliced off a significant piece of flesh.
Fortunately, Yue Qingqing had sharp senses and had been watching the meat all along.
She noticed something was wrong immediately and mobilized her spiritual energy.
The kitchen knife veered off course, only grazing the skin.
Only a small cut was made on the fingertip, with beads of blood rolling from the wound and dropping onto the cutting board.
“Oh, how could I be so careless!”
Lin Chunju quickly rinsed it with water, distressed about the piece of meat on the cutting board that had been stained with blood.
Well, it looked like it couldn’t be eaten now.
But Yue Qingqing’s pupils contracted, her gaze fixed on that vibrant red.
Through her eyes, grey-black worm-like shapes swarmed within the droplet of blood.
They clustered densely together within the patch of red.
At a glance, it was enough to make one’s scalp tingle.
This was… a curse technique?
