Juhua was still telling Pu Pao, "We'll make the cured meat and Little Cabbage soup later. Otherwise, if the Little Cabbages soak in the hot soup for too long, they'll turn yellow and won't look fresh and tender. Cut the lean cured meat first. Once the workers return, we'll boil the water, toss the meat and Little Cabbages into the pot, let it boil for a bit, and serve it right away. This way, the Little Cabbages will stay a vibrant green, and the broth will be perfectly clear..."
Pu Pao listened carefully, nodding constantly, when her brother Heipi ran in, panting. "Young Madam, Grandma Zhang and Liu'er's mother got into a fight! Little Scholar Zhao's mother is involved too. They're fighting fiercely, and there's even blood!"
Hearing this, Juhua got a headache. She wondered, "Why is she clashing with that shrew again? Didn't I advise He to just ignore her?"
