"That's right. Your sister-in-law has been feeling sorry for this path these past few days and has been sighing for a few days."
"It's such a shame, seeing a mountain of gold right in front of you but unable to touch it, how can you not be anxious!" Tian smiled. "But it's my little sister who is capable anyway, otherwise no matter how much wood you have, it wouldn't be worth much."
Zhang nodded along, agreeing deeply with what he said.
"Avoid anything related to burning charcoal. Go home and warn your children. There are a lot of unreasonable people in this village. If they see that our family has made money, they might come to harass us, and it would be bad if we fall out." Yan Bingfa looked serious when he thought of the people in the village.
"I know. Dad, you've reminded me many times. We're being very careful. Chunxiao was burning in her backyard. When we went out in the morning, we covered our backpacks tightly with straw mats. We left early, so the villagers wouldn't notice."
"That's right, Dad. There's nothing to worry about. Charcoal burning is a technical job. Who would have thought that our Chunxiao, that Tong, could figure out charcoal burning by himself?"
Chunxiao looked at her second brother and said, "Second brother, you mean to say that you learned it by yourself!"
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean. Who would have thought that, let alone the villagers, even the scholar Zhou from the Zhou family, who has read so many books, couldn't even do it himself, yet you managed it? Don't you think that this is God helping us?"
"Erhe is right. Isn't it just God's will?"
"There's no need for Dad to get involved in this matter. Don't we have my second brother and his wife? Except for Pan'er who is a little younger, the other children at home can help with the work, so we don't have to worry too much. In winter, there's no busy farming season, so Dad can just rest at home, and we can accompany Dashan and the others on their errands."
"Sister-in-law is right." Zhang responded and lowered her head again.
"I know you are all filial, but I am still in good health now. It is more convenient for men to go out and take care of things at home. We have 15 acres of land waiting for us at home in the spring. We won't have time to rest by then." Thinking of the 15 acres of land at home, Yan Bingfa smiled.
"Big brother, second brother, don't hold your hopes too high yet. Wait until I'm done cooking and then try to sell it. If it doesn't sell well, you'll be disappointed."
Yan Dashan smiled and said, "That's okay. If things don't work out, we can just stay at home. Like you said, we can also use it lavishly and have a warm winter."
"That's the right way to think about it."
The few of them chatted along the way and walked unknowingly. They felt that time passed very quickly and soon they saw the entrance to the village.
"Your mother and the others probably haven't come back yet. Chunxiao, you can eat lunch here today. Let your sister-in-law cook."
Chunxiao nodded, "Okay! I'll go over after mom comes back."
