Sure enough, when Shopkeeper Tong asked Han Yiyi where she bought the recliner, she pushed Da Niu out.
Da Niu was honest by nature. Although he had met Manager Tong before, he still stammered and couldn't give a clear answer when asked questions. In the end, under Han Yiyi's strong promotion, he ordered two for Manager Tong at a price of one tael of silver each, and agreed to take them back with him next time he came to pick up barbecue seasoning.
Shopkeeper Tong had money, and he genuinely liked the item, so he didn't think it was too expensive. However, Da Niu was startled when he heard it cost one tael of silver. Just as he was about to speak, Han Yiyi pulled him aside.
Upon seeing this, Manager Tong felt for a moment that he had been outmaneuvered by Han Yiyi again.
Aunt Zhang looked at the five taels of silver in her hand, her eyes reddening. She thought about how, with Han Yiyi's help, her family had saved up nearly seven or eight taels of silver during this time, something she had never dared to dream of before.
Not only that, all the rice was replaced with brown rice and dark flour. If we ate sparingly, it would be enough to last for several months, so we would never have to worry about going hungry again.
Thinking of this, Aunt Zhang tugged at her sleeve and pressed the corner of her eye again. Then she asked Da Niu to go to the chicken coop and catch the two biggest chickens, kill them, and send them to Han Yiyi.
Han Yi originally intended to go to Aunt Zhang's house and the village chief's house to tell them to come to his house for dinner the next day, as a way to warm his house. However, as soon as he stepped out the door, he saw Aunt Zhang walking towards him with two chickens in her hands.
"Auntie, what's wrong with you...?"
"Take this and give it to Daya and Shitou to help them recover..."
Seeing that Aunt Zhang's eyes were red, Han Yiyi knew that she wanted to thank her for the wages she had given Da Niu that day and for helping him sell two deck chairs.
Although five taels of silver is not much for Han Yiyi, who now has seven hundred taels of silver, it is an amount that Aunt Zhang and the others could not earn in one or two years in the past.
Therefore, Han Yiyi knew that accepting the chicken would put her at ease, so she smiled and took it, saying...
"Thank you so much, Auntie. I was just wondering what to cook for you when I invited you over for the housewarming party tomorrow. You brought it to me right away. We'll have this tomorrow..." She added, not forgetting to remind everyone that the whole family should come over tomorrow, as it's more lively with more people.
Hearing Han Yiyi's words, Aunt Zhang couldn't help but smile and agree. She took the chicken back to the kitchen and then went out with Han Yiyi to the village chief's house.
Then, as she passed by the Fan family's gate, she happened to run into Fan Ting, who was coming out of the house with a book in his hand. When Fan Ting saw Han Yiyi, he was stunned for a moment, and a hint of amazement flashed in his eyes.
A few days ago, when Han Yiyi passed by the Fan family's house with a mule cart, Fan Ting felt that she had changed a bit. Now, looking at her again, she was even more beautiful than before, and her clothes and appearance were like those of a completely different person.
However, just as he was about to say something, he heard Granny Fan's cursing coming from his own yard.
"You shameless old hag, where have you been again? I'm thirsty, hurry up and bring me some water..."
Then Ye Cuihua's somewhat delicate voice rang out.
“I’m telling you, Aunt Huang, not that I’m criticizing you as a junior, but since you injured my mother-in-law, you should take good care of her. If you take good care of her, my mother-in-law will recover faster, and you can go home sooner, right…”
Hearing the daily commotion, Fan Ting frowned deeply. By the time he came to his senses, Han Yiyi was already far away. He looked up at the book in his hand and couldn't help but think back to when Han Yiyi was still in the Fan family. Whenever he picked up a book, no one in the family dared to make a sound. But now…
Thinking of this, Fan Ting suddenly came to his senses. He was even better off now, having married a wealthy woman from the town. He could use the finest writing materials, and no one would laugh at him anymore.
Thinking of the scumbag she had just seen, Han Yiyi felt a wave of disgust and quickened her pace. She couldn't help it; she was a virgin, and suddenly she had an ex-husband. If he were a good man, that would be one thing, but he was a scumbag. Who wouldn't feel disgusted by that?
To avoid running into Fan Ting again on her way back, Han Yiyi took a detour. However, she had only gone halfway down the detour when she saw what appeared to be a black figure flashing in the distance. But when she looked again, she didn't see anything unusual, so Han Yiyi assumed she had seen wrong.
No sooner had Han Yiyi left than a person appeared where Han Yiyi had been. This person was dressed in black brocade, and his face was covered with a black cloth, so his features were not visible. However, there was a long wound on his arm, which was still bleeding...
The next morning, Han Yiyi got up early. There was nothing she could do; there were no entertainment options at night, so she could only sleep when it got dark and wake up naturally when it got light.
However, having a regular schedule now has its benefits. Her skin has improved significantly, and with the addition of some face masks and skincare products, Han Yiyi feels that the spots on her face have faded considerably. Now, they are barely noticeable unless you look closely.
After breakfast, they began preparing lunch. They roughly counted the number of people: the village chief's family had five people, plus Aunt Zhang's family of five, plus their own family of three, making a total of thirteen people.
The two little ones are small and can't eat much, but even so, it still takes ten dishes and a soup to prepare. Nowadays, there aren't that many kinds of dishes, so Han Yiyi thought of making one dish in multiple ways. For example, chicken can be made into scallion oil chicken, stir-fried chicken, or chicken stew with mushrooms. Pork can also be made into fried crispy pork or braised pork.
Because of Han Yiyi's house, the two families had visited quite a few times recently, so they weren't too surprised. However, the furnishings inside, especially the set of bamboo woven sofas, drew everyone's admiration, and Da Niu was praised as well.
In fact, the items and furnishings in Han Yiyi's main room were arranged according to the layout of her previous life's living room, so it looked more familiar.
Before everyone could finish admiring the decorations, they were drawn to the dishes that were being served one after another. A large portion of the dishes on the table were meat dishes, with chicken, fish, meat, and eggs all included. Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but swallow hard. Even the village chief, who was used to seeing the world, couldn't take his eyes off the food.
At this moment, the village chief's wife came out of the kitchen, carrying a large bowl of crispy pork. Looking at everyone's expressions, she couldn't help but tease them.
"Look at these little gluttons, their mouths are practically watering..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but swallow, then laughed and said, "Oh dear, oh dear, I can't take it anymore, my mouth is watering too..."
