The Farmer's Eldest Sister-in-law: Selling Steamed Buns to Support Younger Brother and Sister-in-law

Transmigration + Farming + Raising Children + Pampering Wife.

Wei Yuyan, a college student who stayed up late playing games, unexpectedly transmigrated and became a tragic eldest sister-in-la...

Chapter 36 The Matchmaker

Wei Yuyan knew that many people thought that if you were pregnant, your belly should be as big as possible.

In fact, pregnant women need to control their diet even more, otherwise, if the fetus becomes too large, it could be fatal in an era with poor medical technology.

"Hmm, that's true. That makes sense. If the baby is too big, it's bound to have a difficult birth."

Xiuhua's sister-in-law seemed to be deep in thought.

"Sister-in-law, buy some fabric and make a set of clothes and two pairs of shoes for each of them. I'll also make a pair of shoes for myself; I have plenty of clothes."

Wei Yuyan thought that she did have a few nice outfits in her wardrobe, all of which she had bought for her wedding.

"Sister-in-law, you are so good to Xiaolei and Xiaoqian. They are so lucky to have a sister-in-law like you. Xiaoqian, come here, let me measure your body."

Sister-in-law Xiuhua called Xiaoqian over, and after measuring with her hands, she knew exactly what it was.

"I'll just go to his closet and look at his clothes to find out."

Xiuhua's sister-in-law went into Xiaolei's wardrobe and found his clothes, pants, shoes, and socks. She compared them and knew the truth.

"Sister-in-law, here's the money for the fabric. I don't know how much I need, so you can use these two silver coins to buy it."

Wei Yuyan felt less anxious knowing that she had a lot of valuable medicinal herbs at home.

She skipped to her room and got the money. She didn't know how much it would cost to make clothes, but two silver coins should be enough.

"That's enough. Just buy ordinary fabric, and with the shoes, we'll still have thirty or forty coins left."

Sister-in-law Xiuhua took the money, knowing exactly what she was getting her hands on.

"good".

Wei Yuyan felt relieved when she heard Xiuhua say that.

"This afternoon, I'll build a rabbit hutch for your family. I'll just cut down one tree."

"Just build a circle around it, put up a frame, cover it, and place it in the corner of Xiao Lei's room, and that's it."

Sister-in-law Xiuhua thought that since there were no female rabbits available and they couldn't breed, she would simply build one.

"Alright, sister-in-law, if we don't catch the mother rabbit, we'll just kill and eat these two wild rabbits."

Wei Yuyan actually felt that it didn't matter if they didn't match.

"Well, don't worry, your Brother Zhang will definitely be able to catch the female rabbit."

Sister-in-law Xiuhua has made up her mind to raise rabbits.

"When the rabbits are born, your family can set up one too, and we can raise rabbits together."

Wei Yuyan probably wants to show off that her sister-in-law Hua wants to raise rabbits.

"Okay, I do want to raise rabbits, mainly because I'm bored and have nothing better to do."

Xiuhua's sister-in-law admitted that she did indeed want to raise rabbits.

"Sister-in-law, I'm back. Sister-in-law Xiuhua is here too."

Xiao Lei is back, and he seems to have had a great time. It's as if the time he spends playing outside with Xiao Pang is his happiest time.

"Yes, Xiao Lei is back. I should go home and cook. I wonder if my husband is back yet."

Xiuhua's sister-in-law actually said goodbye.

"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, please sit for a while longer."

Wei Yuyan hadn't finished talking yet.

"Come in the afternoon."

As she spoke, Sister-in-law Xiuhua walked out of the courtyard gate.

"Sister-in-law, what would you like to eat for lunch?"

Xiao Lei asked Wei Yuyan if the family had yesterday's steamed buns as their staple food, and if they had the same few dishes every day.

"Let's stir-fry some shredded potatoes, and add plenty of chili peppers."

Wei Yuyan wants to eat potatoes.

"good".

Xiao Lei took a few potatoes out of the basket and began to slowly cut them.

"Take your time, don't cut your hand, there's still plenty of time."

Wei Yuyan was worried that he would cut his hand.

"Understood, sister-in-law."

Wu Lei patiently shredded potatoes, while Qianqian cooked chicken feed, thinking that this task would be handed over to her.

"Time to eat."

Fifteen minutes later, the steaming hot steamed buns and spicy stir-fried potato shreds were ready.

"It looks really good."

Wei Yuyan took a bite and thought it was a little too salty, but it would be just right to eat with steamed buns.

The village chief's house~

"Oh dear, the matchmaker is here."

The village chief's wife was serving dishes, and just as they were about to eat, the matchmaker arrived.

She thought to herself that this matchmaker must have deliberately come at mealtime. She didn't want to invite her to stay for dinner, but she was also afraid that she would ruin her daughter Liu Cuifang's good time.

Let's invite her to stay for dinner. We don't even know if we have enough food at home. After all, these days, it's good enough to have enough to eat, let alone have extra food for others.

"Oh, yes, oh dear, I've come at a bad time. You're just about to eat. It's my fault. As soon as I heard there was a fine young man, I rushed over to tell you."

The matchmaker pretended to be anxious.

"Let's eat here. There's nothing fancy at home, just grab something simple. Old Liu, Cuifang, come out and eat quickly."

When the village chief's wife heard that there was a fine young man, she no longer cared about the little bit of food and called the father and daughter out to eat.

"Mom, what's good for lunch today, matchmaker?"

Liu Cuifang originally wanted to ask what delicious dishes were available for lunch, but when she came out, she was surprised to see the matchmaker sitting at her table.

"Hey, Cuifang, village chief, I have some good news for you. My sister-in-law insisted that I stay for dinner. Look how embarrassed I am."

The matchmaker's face was covered in wrinkles from her smile, which was rather unsettling to look at.

"It's nothing, it's just that we didn't prepare any dishes at home, so we weren't very hospitable."

Once you find a good family for Cuifang, I'll go to town, buy a pound of pork belly, stew it, and send it to your house.

The village chief was also a humorous man; he knew that the matchmaker's words couldn't be wasted, since the daughter's marriage still needed to be arranged by her.

"Come on, let's eat. Eggs stir-fried with cabbage. Come on, matchmaker, something's wrong with the hen at home."

They haven't laid any eggs lately, and there's only one left at home. You should eat more of it.

The village chief's wife didn't come out for a while, actually because she had fried three eggs that day.

I just took all the large pieces of eggs out of the kitchen and put them in the cupboard.

They even pretended to select eggs for the matchmaker to eat when the food was served.

"As expected of the eldest sister-in-law, her cooking is always delicious."

The matchmaker was no pushover; today, the village chief's family was serving rice, and she wolfed down a whole bowl of it.

"Would you like some more?"

The village chief's wife gritted her teeth and asked the matchmaker with a smile.

"No need, I'm full, burp~".

The matchmaker waved her hand and even burped.

Liu Cuifang's face darkened. She had eaten all the food on the table, leaving nothing for herself. What kind of person was she?

"Matchmaker, I wonder which family this fine young man you're talking about belongs to?"

The village chief's wife was only interested in this matter.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you about someone I'm going to tell you about today. You'll definitely be satisfied. He's the young master of town!"

The matchmaker wore a mysterious expression.

"Ah, from town? Would someone from there even be interested in a girl from our village?"

The village chief raised his eyes, somewhat puzzled.

“Listen to me, this young master’s family only has a dozen acres of land. They eat what’s readily available. They’re not exactly rich and powerful, but they have no worries about food and drink all year round.”

The matchmaker continued her story.
