"Fifth brother, how's the new stove your eldest brother and his crew are working on?"
The fifth brother was still happily munching on sunflower seeds:
"It's good, but a bit pricey, 150 yuan." The fifth brother didn't think much of it and poured it out directly.
"What?!" Aunt Wang dropped the broom. "How much did you say?"
The fifth brother then realized he had let something slip and quickly covered his mouth: "Ah...no...that..."
"Oh my goodness, 150? That's enough to buy twenty bags of flour!"
Aunt Wang was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth.
"Your sister-in-law really knows how to spend money!"
Wang Ailing immediately knew that Li Chenyang was someone they had watched grow up since he was a child. He was an honest boy, while Ye Xiaoxiao was the only one with money who loved to dress up and dared to buy anything.

"Now the whole village knows that your eldest son brought back a huge iron stove that costs 150 yuan, and they even say it was a gift from the master craftsman."
I bet it's your daughter-in-law; she'd be itching to spend the two hundred yuan she has right away.
You'd better do something about this; with your wife like that, even a mountain of gold wouldn't be enough for her to squander."
After Wang Ailing finished speaking, she heard her second son's wife calling her from outside, saying that the chicken had run away again.
It was getting dark, and I asked her to hurry up and help catch the chicken.
