Su Ning'an came over carrying two big fat pheasants.
"Grandma Li, the pheasant I brought is the largest of the six."
Xiao Lingyu took a pheasant from Su Ning'an and said, "Aunt Li, a pheasant like this weighs at least three pounds. I usually ask my maid to pay 150 coins to buy it from farmers, but it's not always possible to get it. These two pheasants weigh at least seven or eight pounds. I asked the children to sell them for at least three hundred coins."
Three hundred coins?
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were both shocked when they heard this. The two pheasants could only be sold for two hundred coins in Xishui County.
Old Lady Li asked, "Madam Su, are you really willing to spend 150 coins on a pheasant?"
"That's natural. After all, pheasants are rare, have high nutritional value, and are good for your health, so they naturally command this price."
"If you think it's not worth exchanging these for a pheasant, then don't do it. We can sell them for 300 coins, which can buy a lot of seeds and food."
"Yes, Grandma Li, we're going to exchange it for money. We won't change it anymore."
Su Ningjie took the pheasant from Xiao Lingyu and turned to leave with Su Ningan.
"Hey, second brother, don't take it away, let's change."
After all, his grandson hadn't eaten pheasant for a long time.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were about to turn around and leave with the pheasant, but were stopped by Su Ningan.
"Aunt Wang, didn't you say you'd send us some candy cakes? Didn't you just let the incident of Grandma Li beating my sister go and never mention it again?"
What?
Adults hitting children!
No wonder Xiao Xier was scared when she saw the two of them.
"Aunt Li, Xiao Xi'er is so cute, and you actually hit her. You've violated Beiyi law. I can report you to the authorities for child abuse, and you'll be punished with a beating and jail time."
Beiyi Law didn't say that. Xiao Xier was so scared, so she had to scare them too.
When old lady Li heard this, she shuddered and wondered if she would die if she were beaten with a stick.
"Madam Su, this is all a misunderstanding. I already have grandchildren, how could I hit Xiao Xier? I was just giving Xiao Xier some candy."
Wang Xiufang quickly agreed, "Madam Su, it was indeed a misunderstanding. I brought the cakes with me."
Wang Xiufang handed the cake to Xiao Xier and said, "Xiao Xier, tell your mother that your Grandma Li didn't hit you."
Xiao Xier pulled Xiao Lingyu's hand and said, "Mom, will it hurt if you get spanked?"
Xiao Lingyu glanced at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and raised his voice a few notches, "The lightest punishment is to tear your skin and flesh, and the worst is to beat you to death."
Old Lady Li was horrified. "Madam Su, I really didn't hit Xiao Xier. I swear to God this was a misunderstanding. Before you came to the Su family, I felt sorry for how thin Xiao Xier was and wanted to take her home to raise as my own granddaughter."
"Mother, I don't want to be Grandma Li's granddaughter."
So that's what's happening.
If she hadn't come, Su Xingyi would have remained blind and disabled, and the four children would have been sent away. Now that she is here, she must protect them.
"Xiao Xi'er, now that your mother is here, no one will take you away. I will protect you, so don't be afraid."
Xiao Xier looked at the sugar cake in Wang Xiufang's hand and said, "Mom, Grandma Li has brought sugar cakes. I am a humble person and don't care about your mistakes. Let it go."
Xiao Lingyu rubbed Xiao Xier's head and said, "Xiao Xier, since you said forget it, this matter is over."
Xiao Lingyu took the candy cake from Wang Xiufang and said, "Aunt Li, we'll accept the candy cake. We won't mention the matter of you beating Xiao Xier anymore."
Old Lady Li breathed a sigh of relief. "Madam Su, we won't bother you anymore."
After saying that, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law grabbed the pheasant and ran out of the Su family yard as if escaping.
"Mom, I want to eat..."
Xiao Xier and Su Ningwen stared at the candy cake in Xiao Lingyu's hand and swallowed their saliva.
"Okay, now I'll give each of you a piece."
Seeing that the children were eating happily, Xiao Lingyu slipped into the kitchen to make lunch for them.
Xiao Lingyu used rice and millet to cook a large pot of rice, and used fresh chicken blood and chicken offal to make a bowl of chicken blood porridge. Finally, he used two pheasants and mushrooms to make a large pot of pheasant stewed with mushrooms.
After cooking, Xiao Lingyu made two pots of rice, two large pots of pheasant stewed with mushrooms, and a large plate of chicken blood porridge and brought them out of the kitchen.
Su Ningan looked at the bowl of rice and the bowl of pheasant stewed with mushrooms in front of him, and he was a little bit unbelievable, "Mom, am I really going to eat this alone?"
Xiao Lingyu smiled and nodded, "Yes, if it's not enough, make more in the evening."
Su Ningjie frowned. If they ate like this, the food at home would soon be gone. Wouldn't they be hungry again?
"Brother, hurry up and eat. We'll go up the mountain in the afternoon."
Xiao Lingyu, "Yes, Boss, you can eat as much as you want. Don't worry about not having the next meal. Mother won't let you go hungry."
Su Ning'an no longer hesitated, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.
Xiao Lingyu served Su Xingyi a large bowl of chicken rice before sitting down to eat with the children.
Suningjie couldn't eat much rice, but he found the rice today tasted sweet, so he ate two bowls.
"Mom, it turns out that rice and millet cooked together are so delicious, fragrant and sweet."
Xiao Xier, "Mom, I can finish a small bowl of rice today."
She added spring water from the base into the well water, which changed the water quality, so the food cooked in it naturally tasted better.
"Since it tastes good, eat more. Your mother's mission is to make you fat."
Xiao Xier nodded vigorously, "Mom, from now on I won't eat half a bowl of rice anymore. I'll eat a full bowl of rice."
