When the Xu family returned, they saw someone pushing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in a cart towards the village doctor's house. None of the three were the kind of people who would cause trouble, and they didn't ask anyone what was going on, but they overheard some of what those people were saying.

When they got to the courtyard, they saw Fu Man'er sitting on a small stool with red eyes. "Man'er?" Liu Fang was startled when she saw that there was no one else in the courtyard.

"Mother," the little girl called out pitifully. She had deliberately cried at the Yao family's house, acting so convincingly that the emotions hadn't dissipated yet, and the tears were flowing uncontrollably, without any regard for her feelings.

"What happened?" Old Mrs. Xu and Xu Genshan, not even bothering to pack their things, rushed over to ask what had wronged them.

Just then, Ma Hong came out of the kitchen with a bowl in her hand. "Mom, eldest brother, sister-in-law, you're back!"

"Second son's wife, what's wrong with Man'er? We asked you to take care of a child, are you taking advantage of her while we're not home?" The more Old Mrs. Xu thought about it, the more likely it seemed. Her daughter-in-law was quite fierce, saying she wanted to teach Fu Man'er a lesson.

Ma Hong was taken aback. "Mother, I didn't."

"No? Then what's wrong with Man'er?" Judging from her evasive look, it was her.

Ma Hong was completely bewildered. She had no idea why Fu Man'er was crying. She had cried so heartbreakingly at the Yao family's house that even she, who was listening, couldn't help but be moved.

"Grandma, it's not Second Aunt. Second Aunt is cooking eggs for me," Fu Man'er whispered.

"No, Mother," Ma Hong quickly explained, recounting the whole story. "Look at my mother-in-law's eyes. She's not the kind of person who bullies children."

"That old hag Yao is crazy, I'm going to settle accounts with her." The Yao family and the Xu family have been constantly at odds. On the surface, they are still getting along, but this is going too far.

Liu Fang quickly grabbed her mother-in-law, "Mother, have you forgotten? That mother and daughter-in-law were just taken to the doctor."

Grandma Xu then remembered that Ma Hong didn't know what was going on. As soon as she asked, she immediately gave a scathing laugh, "Serves you right, you're getting your just desserts."

This is truly satisfying. The Xu family didn't have to put in any effort; the Yao family members were all injured or broken.

"Man'er, that feels so good! Come to your auntie's, I'll peel an egg for you." Ma Hong's face was still injured, and she grinned, waving at Fu Man'er. She looked rather frightening.

"Oh, here she comes, Second Aunt." Just as Liu Fang was about to refuse on behalf of her daughter, Fu Man'er slid off her lap in a flash and ran over happily.

Ma Hong simply pulled the person onto her lap and sat her down. Because of today's fight, the aunt and nephew had developed a strange friendship.

"Be careful, it's hot. I'll hold it for you, you can eat slowly." As she spoke, Ma Hong had already peeled half of the egg and held it to Fu Man'er's mouth.

"Thank you, Second Aunt." She had already eaten fish, but this was her first time eating eggs. Fu Man'er peeked at them in small bites, and the three members of the Xu family present felt that something was amiss.

After a while, Xu Genshan finally spoke, "Sister-in-law, did we buy eggs?" When he injured his leg, they sold all the eggs at home, and the old hen stopped laying eggs. He didn't think they had bought any eggs since then.

"Oh dear, I was so busy talking about that awful thing that I forgot about this good news." Ma Hong slapped her forehead and said happily, "Our old mother's chickens laid eggs again. Three chickens laid six eggs."

"Huh?" All three of them looked incredulous. It was bad enough that it was raining, but so much of it.

Afraid they wouldn't believe her, Ma Hong went directly to the kitchen and brought out the eggs. She boiled one, and there were five left, each about the size of Fu Man'er's fist.

"When did it lay?" Old Mrs. Xu reached out and touched the egg. She thought the rest of the family's hens were just like that.

"Man'er found it when she went to feed the chickens. She doesn't know when it was laid." It happened after the two of them returned from the Yao family. Ma Hong went to prepare the vegetables, and Fu Man'er, having nothing to do, went to feed the chickens.

As soon as the chickens came out, the eggs that had been pressing down on them were exposed. Fu Man'er took one in each hand and ran to Ma Hong.

Ma Hong then picked up the egg. She was puzzled because she hadn't seen the egg when she fed the chickens rotten vegetable leaves.

Fu Man'er thought of steamed egg custard as soon as she saw eggs. Seeing her wanting to eat but not daring to say so, Ma Hong simply boiled a hard-boiled egg for her, thinking that she had also contributed to the fight today and should not be treated unfairly.

"That's really strange. How can an old hen lay two eggs at once?" Xu Genshan was happy, but he still felt that it was unrealistic. He had never seen a hen lay two eggs in a day.

"Perhaps it was holding back for a while, and only two rains fell today. We'll have to see if it rains again tomorrow," Liu Fang said.

Several adults gathered around the chicken coop and talked. Fu Man'er quickly finished eating the eggs and then tugged at Liu Fang's hand. "Mom, these eggs can be used to make tea eggs."

"Tea eggs?" Liu Fang turned around and looked at her. What delicious food did the fairy tell her daughter this time?

Ma Hong looked over in confusion, "What egg?" She hadn't quite heard her clearly.

Grandma Xu reacted quickly, "The child is greedy and wants to eat scrambled eggs. Stop crowding around here and go do your work." After saying that, she took Fu Man'er's hand and walked away, giving Liu Fang a look, signaling her to follow.

Ma Hong responded and walked away. Xu Genshan looked at the figures of Old Madam Xu and Liu Fang with suspicion. Why did he feel that there seemed to be some secret between his mother and his wife?

Fu Man'er doesn't need to explain too much about how to make tea eggs, as the method is indeed simple. However, "the tea is not cheap, and neither are the eggs. If we were to sell them, not only would the cost be high, but I'm also afraid that people wouldn't be able to afford them."

Liu Fang thought that given the price, even the simplest food wouldn't sell.

Fu Man'er was like a deflated balloon. Oh right, she was so focused on how delicious and easy to make that she forgot all about that.

Liu Fang couldn't bear to see the little girl so dejected and was about to comfort her when Fu Man'er suddenly looked up and asked, "Mother, can we sell this recipe to a restaurant?"

The people who eat there are all well-off, and the restaurant's pricing is what it is; even if it's expensive, people will still buy it.

Liu Fang and Grandma Xu exchanged a glance. It didn't seem like a bad idea. "I saw a few wild tea trees on the top of the wasteland we just bought. We can work hard to make tea ourselves. Let's buy some eggs and try it out. If it works, Man'er's idea will be really effective."

Grandma Xu was so excited that she would have gone up the mountain to pick tea leaves if she didn't have so many other things to do later.

The matter of the tea eggs was temporarily settled, and the Xu family began their busy yet routine life. Everything seemed normal, but there were also some unusual aspects.
