Chapter 242 Returning to My Mother's Home



Mother Xu was so flattered at the entrance of the village that she was disoriented and returned home feeling dizzy. As soon as she got home, she felt like the wife of a high-ranking official and even the way she walked changed.

She took small steps with a standard smile on her face, looking very professional, but when she got home, her mother immediately broke down and took a deep breath, "Oh my god.

It's too uncomfortable to be the wife of a high-ranking official. I have to put on airs. Fortunately, I am only the captain's wife. It would be really uncomfortable for me to be a cultured person."

"Look at how old you are. It's shameful. Look at you." Grandma Zhang was so disgusted that she wished she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

Xu's mother disagreed: "Mom, what's wrong with me? Yingying is so successful now, and I, as a mother, can't embarrass her."

Grandma Zhang doesn't bother to pay attention to her daughter. It's just vanity at work, nothing more.

She looked at her granddaughter's face full of joy. How come this girl was so successful?

"Yingying, I heard that you have won a lot of orders for your factory. Now more than half of the people in our village are working in your workshop.

You don’t know how good the people in our village are to me and your grandpa.

Before, when they saw us, they looked down on us because our family was poor and we had only one son and no one could make a living. But now, they all praise your grandpa like a treasure. "Grandma Zhang said this with a proud look on her face.

"I don't know when your second and third sisters will come back!" Grandma Zhang's face was full of worry when she talked about her other two daughters.

"Mom, I told you that my daughter is blessed. She will have a good life in the future. Look, our whole family has benefited from my daughter's blessings." Just as Xu's mother finished her words, the other two sisters of the Zhang family arrived.

"Sister, Yingying." The third sister Zhang Guilan's eyes were red as soon as she saw Xu's mother, and her longing for her was beyond words.

"Guilan, Dongquan is back." As soon as Grandma Zhang finished speaking, her second daughter, Zhang Guifang, also came back. Both of them were holding a large piece of pork and a large bag of pastries.

Seeing this, Xu's mother stood up in surprise and looked at her second brother-in-law with a surprised look on her face: "Shao Wen, you have made a fortune, why did you take so many things?"

"Guiying, how can you talk like that?" Grandma Zhang glared at her eldest daughter.

Chen Shaowen smiled and was not annoyed by his elder sister's sarcasm: "Eldest sister, how can I make a fortune with my personality? It's the New Year now. I have to buy something nice for mom after a year of being useless."

When Granny Zhang heard this, she was so coaxed that her face was full of smiles. She looked at her second son-in-law and said with a smile: "Even if you don't buy anything, as long as you can come to see me, I will be happy."

Xu's mother was eating melon seeds, full of suspicion. The second brother was a bad guy, even worse than her husband's younger brother.

The third son of her husband's family is just a lazy and gluttonous person who gambles occasionally, but the man her second sister married is not only lazy and gluttonous, but also a drinker and gambler. He has also been caught stealing several times.

But the second sister is a fool, a piece of clay and has no temper at all. When she asked her to divorce before, her second sister looked like the sky had fallen and cried non-stop.

Then she followed her husband's advice and went home happily.

Facing this younger sister whom she had raised since childhood, Xu's mother felt both hatred and heartache.

"Mom, Shaowen has earned some money this year, so you should take him." Zhang Guifang spoke in a weak voice, completely different from Xu's mother.

Zhang Guilan had the same temperament as Xu's mother, and was even more impatient. When she heard that Chen Shaowen had found a job, she was immediately surprised: "Second sister, what kind of job did Shaowen find?

It's not something that came from a shady background, have you forgotten the group of people that were arrested in the county a few months ago?"

When Zhang Guifang heard this, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, it's not."

Although Chen Shaowen's temper improved a bit at this time, he only faced Xu's mother and looked at Zhang Guilan and retorted without any weakness: "Third sister, what do you mean by this?

I, Chen Shaowen, will never have a future in this life? Can I find a job? I tell you that I am now self-reliant and have found a job. "

When these words came out, everyone in the room was shocked. Even Grandpa Zhang was shocked. He looked at Chen Shaowen and asked, "What kind of job did you find? What do you do?"

Xu Ying just felt confused.

"Isn't Yingying organizing the villagers to collect vegetables for the commune? I am also following them to collect vegetables."

Mother Xu was stunned when she heard this: "Isn't your commune different from ours? Why are you starting to harvest vegetables?"

Xu Ying's eyes widened slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Chen Shaowen smiled with a guilty look in his eyes and said, "Our captain is in charge of this, I'm not too sure.

Maybe the restaurant was short of food, so they asked people from other villages to come to us.”

Xu Ying was not aware of the current situation of harvesting vegetables, and after hearing what he said, she did not continue to ask.

Zhang Guilan really couldn't help but look at Xu Ying: "Yingying, look, your second uncle's village has harvested all the vegetables, why don't you harvest the vegetables in our village as well."

When Granny Zhang heard her daughter's words, she was immediately furious: "The captain of your second brother-in-law's village has cooperated with the restaurant himself, and you are from the same village, so let Yingying find someone separately.

What if other villages follow suit? Wouldn't you be causing trouble for your niece?"

When Zhang Guilan heard her mother's refusal, she was reluctant but finally gave up.

This little episode passed quickly.

Finally all three daughters gathered together. Grandma Zhang was very happy and talked to them for a long time.

Xu Ying went to make lunch. In the kitchen, the more Xu Ying thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.

While eating at the table, Xu Ying couldn't help but start chatting with Chen Shaowen.

"Second uncle, your village is harvesting vegetables now, so what are you responsible for?"

Chen Shaowen was originally still sighing at the delicious food cooked by Xu Ying, but when he heard her words, under everyone's curious gaze, he raised his eyebrows proudly and became interested in showing off.

"I am now responsible for delivering vegetables. I collect vegetables from the village and deliver them to restaurants every day."

"Second uncle, are you only responsible for your village? What about other villages?"

"The restaurant won't accept dishes from other villages, so I will definitely only accept dishes from our village." Chen Shaowen said proudly with his nose in the air.

However, Xu Ying's eyes darkened. There was definitely something wrong.

If the restaurant was really short of food, it would definitely collect food from several villages, not just one village.

When Xu Ying returned in the afternoon, she went to look for Aunt Xu San. Upon asking, she found out that it was just as Xu Ying had expected. The dishes sold in the restaurant were limited in quantity and could be fully supplied by the villages.

Sometimes there are more dishes than the restaurant can handle, but they never complain about a shortage of food.

When Xu Ying heard this, she immediately went to the workshop and called Director Hong. She didn't know anything about it: "Xiao Xu, I don't know about the purchase of vegetables from Chenjia Village that you mentioned.

Now the restaurant only buys from Yushan Commune, not from other communes."
