Chapter 118 Visiting Grandma's House

[Thank you for your patronage! There are still two chances left. Do you want to confirm the draw? ]

Cheng Weiyao's mouth twitched slightly. "What are you kidding?" He had clearly stopped at the pen with the piglets, but at the last second he inexplicably moved forward a little and missed it.

While setting up her stall, she also paid attention to the prices in Qingshi Town. It was located in the southern part of the country, and judging from the crops sold on the market, the town should have two or even three harvests a year, with abundant grain output, and the pigs' feed was mainly leftovers.

In ancient times, the exploration of cooking methods for pork was not very comprehensive, resulting in pork dishes still having a certain meaty smell. Rich families basically ate beef and mutton.

Due to the relaxed breeding conditions and local market demand, the price of pork is still reasonable.

But the problem is that she is here to make money. Even a 20-pound piglet costs 300 copper coins, not to mention the cost of raising it.

[Congratulations to the host, you have won a piglet and a chick. The chance to win the lottery has been used up. Thank you for your use. I wish you a happy game!]

What is meant by "after dark there is always a silver lining"? Cheng Weiyao had already prepared herself for three chances to fail, but unexpectedly she got an unexpected gain.

Cheng Weiyao was so happy to see the fluffy little chicks and the white and tender little piglets walking out of the shack. No wonder the seed store of QQ Farm has opened the option of forage from level 1. It turns out that this is laying the groundwork for the opening of QQ Ranch!

Cheng Weiyao turned around and ran to the warehouse to get the forage grass she had planted before. She hadn't planted forage grass for a while since the variety of seeds in the seed store increased. Now it seemed that she had to set aside a separate piece of land to supply food to QQ Ranch.

While Cheng Weiyao was busy reading the breeding manual in QQ Ranch, Wen Liyu and the Imperial Concubine had woken up one after another in the courtyard. They had been exiled all the way, either sleeping in the wild or in inns, but they had always been homeless and worried. Now that they had settled down, they finally had a sound sleep.

"Sister-in-law, do you need help? Where is my brother?"

When Wen Liyu approached, Cheng Weiyao was kneading dough in the kitchen in a daze. When she heard her sister-in-law's voice, she quickly logged out of the ranch interface.

Cheng Weiyao glanced outside and saw the Imperial Concubine sitting at the stone table, reviewing with Wen Chengming, but her head was slightly tilted, obviously listening with her ears perked up.

"My husband has found a job in the city to support the family. A real man should be upright and upright, so why would he stay idle at home? He left home early in the morning."

Cheng Weiyao responded with a smile, but in fact she was a little lacking in confidence.

In fact, the exiled prisoners had to do high-intensity physical work every day. They were required to reclaim land and grow crops, build bridges and roads, mine and dig mountains, build city defenses, or do odd jobs for those in power... Sometimes, if things didn't go their way, they would be whipped.

Although she didn't know which one Wen Chengyun was, she couldn't bear to tell the imperial concubine the truth. Her health was not good to begin with, and it was better to keep her in the dark than to worry all day long.

Thinking of this, Cheng Weiyao felt much more at ease. In order to change the subject, she took the initiative to talk about today's business, praising Wen Liyu and the Imperial Concubine for their exquisite craftsmanship in cutting patterns.

With the work to divert attention, the topic quickly shifted away from Wen Chengyun. When he came back in the afternoon, he was dressed neatly and didn't look like he had done any hard work at all. Cheng Weiyao silently gave him a thumbs-up in her heart: a complete disguise, a filial son!

"Mother, I haven't visited my grandparents since arriving in Qingshi Town. I want to take my wife to visit them and bring my aunt over to talk to you..."

Wen Chengyun noticed Cheng Weiyao's relieved expression, and naturally knew that his family was asking about his whereabouts. However, he was out on business and could not say it openly, so there was naturally no need to worry about being embarrassed or his life.

"That's fine. You and Wei Yao got married in such a hurry that you haven't even visited your maternal grandfather yet."

The Imperial Noble Consort's expression was slightly moved. In the past, when concubines lived in the deep palace for a long time, they had to obtain the emperor's permission if they wanted to see their closest relatives. Even if their family members really entered the palace, they usually only had a few hours to talk and were not allowed to sleep outdoors.

All these trips only made her family miss her more, and over time, she no longer begged to see her old friend.

But times are different now. Although exile is hard, apart from not being able to leave the place of exile, one can still visit neighbors and relatives.

Upon hearing about visiting relatives, Cheng Weiyao immediately packed up some roujiamo (Chinese steamed buns with meat filling) and tea eggs. Even if she was poor, she still had to observe basic etiquette. She'd never heard of visiting relatives empty-handed. She wondered if this so-called maternal family would be disgusted...

"Your maternal grandparents are kind and generous, and don't mind these empty formalities. You can go without any worries."

The Imperial Concubine was amused by Cheng Wei Yao's somewhat restrained appearance. She raised her sleeve to cover her lips and chuckled. Wei Yao was a fearless person in the face of danger, but she seemed a little nervous about these social etiquettes.

But when she approached the door of her maternal grandfather's house, Cheng Weiyao realized how wrong the imperial concubine was about her grandfather's family. Before she even entered the door, she heard a commotion in the yard from afar.

"You're still hiding?! You're a jinx to me if I marry you! I didn't agree to you marrying me in the first place, and now look what's happened, you've caused our whole family to suffer!"

A sharp female voice came from inside, and a faint voice of defense could be heard.

Wen Chengyun frowned and strode forward and knocked on the door. The yard was quiet for a moment. Footsteps approached and the person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman with a sharp face. She was wearing a fine gauze long skirt and her hair was full of pearls and jade.

"You are..."

The mistress was slightly stunned after opening the door. She was attracted by Wen Chengyun's face and her tone softened a little. After all, who doesn't like to talk nicely to a gentleman?

Cheng Weiyao looked past the woman and turned to the inner courtyard. Under a big tree in the courtyard, a thin and haggard woman was washing clothes with her sleeves rolled up. There were red pinch marks on her arm from five fingers.

This is how she treats her family members. This doesn't seem like the leniency that the Imperial Concubine talks about. Cheng Weiyao already has an idea in her mind.

"Hello, Madam. My grandson Wen Chengyun and his wife are here to visit my grandfather and aunt."

Wen Chengyun bowed slightly. People of royal birth were always impeccably polite, but the mistress didn't care about that. Just the three words "Wen Chengyun" were enough to make her close the door with a sour face.

I really don't know how this person got the nerve to reveal his family name. Wen Chengyun? Isn't he the culprit who caused his family to be exiled?
