Wu Liangdong coughed lightly as he listened, realizing that this was truly a sore subject.
The eldest son was kicked out of the house long ago, so where can we find someone who can endure hardship and work for free?
Besides, how many people can be as honest and hardworking as that simple-minded second brother before the family was divided?
Hong Lanzhi glanced at her son, and after she finished speaking, she belatedly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and then gave a dry laugh.
"Uh... well, how about some herbal tea to soothe your throat?"
Hong Lanzhi took the tea from the tea tray and handed it to He Sanfeng.
"You must be thirsty after making a scene here for so long, right?"
Now that we've made a scene and vented our anger, shouldn't we get down to business?
Let's resolve this child's situation quickly; we can't let this child be homeless.
He Sanfeng pursed her lips and remained silent. Fifty taels of silver! How many fields would one have to sell to earn fifty taels of silver?
In addition, given her daughter-in-law's temperament, how could she possibly agree to sell so much land?
Now that the land belongs to the Mantun family, it's absolutely impossible for them to get rid of the fat meat they've already eaten.
How do we get this out of their mouths?
This is really a difficult situation for the elderly couple!
"Mother, haven't you always loved me the most since I was little?"
"Say something! Are you going to help or not?"
He Sanfeng's old face was gloomy and sullen. He looked at An Manyi with his old eyes and sighed deeply.
"You debt collector, I can't help you even if I wanted to!"
How could your sister-in-law possibly offer her land in exchange for fifty taels of silver to help you?
Your sister-in-law is planning to buy a house in this town, and she's struggling to scrape together enough money for herself. Do you think she'd give it to you?
Your father and I can scrape together at most ten taels of silver for you, that's all we have.
"Mother, then I might as well just die." An Manyi wailed, then clutched her handkerchief and wiped away her tears.
Hong Lanzhi's old eyes darted around, "My dear in-law, don't you have a wealthy son?"
Haven't all these shops already opened?
If your youngest son won't give it to you, go ask your eldest son!
We can't raise a child for nothing; it's time to give back.
I took Haowazi there today, and wow, it was quite an event!
He earned five taels of silver in just one short time!
That one piece of pastry can sell for two taels of silver!
Who knows how much silver he has in his hands?
Your eldest son is doing really well now, quite successful! His life is thriving. Ask him for some financial assistance; he'll definitely be able to help.
An Manyi's eyes lit up. "Ah, right, Dad, Mom, let's go find Second Brother. He'll definitely help us."
Their family is rich; didn't they sell so many pigs?
There's definitely at least fifty taels of silver.
An Daliang's old face showed some emotion, his eyes twitched, and he hesitated before speaking.
"But our eldest son was adopted by my second brother's family some time ago, and that matter—"
Hong Lanzhi glared at her and interrupted.
"Hey, you two old folks, you usually seem pretty shrewd, why are you so stubborn now?"
The son was adopted by someone else, but who was it that flattered him in the early years?
You've raised this child, shouldn't you at least show some filial piety?
It's only right and proper to make amends, and showing filial piety to one's parents is not an unreasonable thing.
Even if they are adopted, shouldn't family ties still be taken into account?
In the end, aren't we all still family?
He Sanfeng licked her lips and nodded; these words truly resonated with her.
"What you said makes sense. Now that we're doing well, it's time to take good care of us."
"Old man, don't sit there. Let's go check out our eldest son's newly opened shop."
An Manyi quickly wiped away her tears and stood up.
"Mother, I want to go too."
Paradise Dessert Shop.
Anle was pointing at Anjing as she spread the dough for a multigrain pancake on the frying pan.
Anjing's imitation is quite impressive.
Although Anle's direction was quite impressive, she would be completely lost if she were to try it herself.
"Ah, yes, that's it!"
It's just a thin layer of egg coating!
Sister, you're so skillful!
Hey sis, brush some sauce on top, put in two crispy pieces, two lettuce leaves, a sausage, and a bag of spicy strips!
Okay, fold it in half like this and wrap it up. Give this one to me.
Oh, right, Dad loves spicy food, so remember to put extra chili sauce in his bowl.
Anle grabbed the rolled-up sheet, took a bite, and let out a satisfied sigh. Just as Anle put it in a paper bag, Anle reached for it, took a bite, and let out a satisfied sigh.
"Hmm...this is the taste."
An Yi swallowed hard.
"Little sister, let me try it, quickly give me a bite." Saying that, she couldn't wait and grabbed Anle's hands without any politeness, and took a big bite.
"Mmm... What is this? It tastes so good!"
These gods eat such delicious food every day, never the same thing twice! They must be so happy!
Anle looked disdainfully at the multigrain pancake that An Yi had already taken a bite out of, and pushed it back to An Yi.
"Since Third Brother likes to eat so much, you can have this one first, I'll wait for the next one."
An Yi squinted and took it, then devoured it.
Anle glanced at the second multigrain noodle sheet that was almost ready and grinned.
"Big sister, give this one to second brother. He's always so restless. He must be very hungry after all that effort."
"Little sister, this thing... hiccup... if you make this and sell it, it will definitely sell very well, it's so delicious."
"Of course, but everyone in our family is busy making desserts, so we don't have anyone to make this."
We really don't have enough manpower, otherwise we would open a multigrain pancake shop.
Even if you don't open a shop, you can still set up a stall to sell your wares.
Qiao Qiuniang was intrigued.
"This thing looks pretty simple to make, otherwise I should set up a stall and sell it?"
"Your dad's watching the shop during the day, so it won't be a problem."
"That won't do. My dessert shop will sell more and more kinds of desserts in the future, and we'll only get busier and busier."
Moreover, once customers have tasted the dessert in a few days, they will definitely come to buy it.
Our desserts are complicated to make and require a lot of manpower.
Although these multigrain pancakes will definitely sell well if I set up a stall, how much money can I make in a day?
Compared to the desserts in this dessert shop, Mother, you should carefully consider which is more important and which is less important.
Qiao Qiuniang's thoughts immediately subsided.
"What Lewazi said makes sense. It's just a pity that we can't do such a good business. We've just given up such a way to make money."
