The Scumbag Husband Who Inherited Two Households and Swapped Children— I’ll Tear His Whole Family Apart

Chi Yu drunkenly found herself transmigrated into a cannon-fodder character in a rural farming novel that emphasized hardship and survival. In the original story, the main character was accused of ...

Chapter 288 Ten Taels for Three Tables (1/2)

When they saw Chi Qiao behind her, they all greeted her, "Sister-in-law!"

Chi Qiao nodded and turned her head to look at the fish in the pond:

"Xiaoyu, go ahead and get busy. It's getting late. I'll go make dinner."

"Okay! There will be many people eating tonight, so please cook more, sister-in-law."

"I'll go and call my nieces-in-law back in a bit, they'll lend you a hand."

Thinking of her family members and the second branch of the Zhong family who had returned with her, Chi Qiao did not refuse.

After all, how long would it take her to cook for more than 30 people by herself?

"Okay, you don't need to call out to it."

If you see anyone on the road later, just ask them to call out to them.

Chi Yu nodded and followed his second and third brothers out.

But before leaving, Chi Sanbao, still worried about the unharvested grain, pulled her back and whispered:

"Little Fish, your second brother will take you. Let me go in and collect the grain."

Thinking that her third brother's fighting strength was equal to her and her sister's combined, and even had some left over, Chi Yu decisively put the person into her space.

Seeing this, Chi Erxiong would have liked to go in too, if he wasn't worried that his sister wouldn't know the exact location of the tree.

What should have been done by mid-morning has been delayed until now.

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

The wildfire was extinguished, and the marriages of the two sons were settled.

Otherwise, he would feel terribly cheated!

Chi Yu had no idea what her second brother was thinking. It wasn't until she realized that they were heading west towards the mountain that she discovered the tree was located a little bit higher up on the mountain.

As I passed by Shen Zhaochen's house, I happened to see the second branch of the Zhong family coming out.

"Little Fish Sister!"

When Wang Yunjuan saw the fish in the pond, her eyes lit up, and she immediately called out.

When the fish in the pond looked over and saw them, it could only stop in its tracks.

"Sister Wang!"

Wang Yunjuan rushed forward, saying, "I just arrived today, hoping to see you, but I didn't expect you to be out putting out the fire."

Later I heard you were back, but I had something to discuss with your second brother and sister-in-law, so I didn't come out.

"As soon as I had a moment to myself, you were busy again."

Chi Yu replied with a polite smile, "Although I'm busy in the past, I've never been as busy as I am today."

It's really unfortunate that you came at such an inopportune time, Sister Wang; you just happened to run into everything.

But my second sister-in-law said that you and Brother Zhong will have to stay here for a few days, so we have some time now, don't we?

Wang Yunjuan wanted to get closer to Chi Yu, partly so that Chi Yu might have some good business opportunities in the future and think of her then.

Secondly, he knew she was favored, and his own daughter was about to marry into the second wife's family.

She thought that if Xiaoyu, as her aunt, could protect her, Xiaofeng would have a better time in her husband's family.

Therefore, she replied with a smile, "Yes, we have plenty of time."

"But it's getting late, Little Fish, are you going somewhere?"

Chi Erxiong stood aside without saying a word, while Chi Yu thought about what she would have to produce in about half a month.

He replied with an ambiguous statement: "This is the best time to water them."

Although my plants are drought-resistant, I haven't even checked on them since I came back from the county town, let alone watered them.

Oh dear, why am I bringing this up? Sister Wang, I have to go now, we'll chat sometime!

Chi Yu seemed to have said something wrong, covered her mouth, waved to Wang Yunjuan, and hurriedly left.

Although the fish in the pond didn't explicitly say what it was, Wang Yunjuan couldn't help but overthink it after hearing that.

Her eyes flickered, then she looked at Chi Yu's departing figure, and finally her gaze fell on the tall mountain range not far away.

No wonder she came all over the place and didn't see any of the rumored drought-resistant, high-yield crops, nor did she hear the villagers mention them.

It seems that the fish were secretly cultivated by the pond fishermen; no one in the village, except for the old pond fishermen, knew about it!
