"A little food? Erni, you're so arrogant! Chunxiao spent hundreds of dollars to buy these yesterday in town. I was going to treat you with some of them, but now that you're here, I'm sure Niu won't be able to take care of them. Chong'er is already 7, and Erbao is 5. They should be sensible. Our Duo'er never rummages through other people's things without permission when she goes to someone else's house. It's time for the adults to teach them a lesson."
"How can a boy and a girl be the same!" Yan Erni seemed very disdainful of Zhou's preaching. She looked at the child lying on the ground and said, "Hurry up and get up. Your cousin bought these things for you to eat. There is no need to hide them. It will be dirty if they are on the ground. Put them on the table quickly." After saying that, she bent down, took a fried fruit and put it in her mouth, then picked up a tangerine and started peeling it.
"Chunxiao, you're really willing to spend money like that! These few hundred coins can last you several months. You said you wanted to buy snacks, so you bought snacks. You must have some money saved up. Auntie just told you that your cousin has always wanted to start a small business, but he never has enough money. You're well off now, so why not lend me a few taels of silver? Your cousin will definitely pay you back when he makes money in the future."
If you lose, it will definitely be gone.
Chunxiao stood aside without saying a word. In her impression, although her aunt was not very kind, she was not so shameless. She couldn't lose face in front of her father. It was really difficult.
Zhou was very angry.
"Grandma, grandma, when we were getting food just now, we saw that there were still a lot of beautiful cloths in my cousin's cabinet. Didn't you say that you didn't have cloth to make clothes for us? My cousin has some."
Yan Erni looked at the two children with shining eyes, "Where are they? Take me to see them."
Zhou closed the door in advance and stood guard at the door.
"Sister-in-law, what do you mean?" Yan Erni was unhappy. "You won't even let me see the cloth."
"What's so good about it? Chunxiao bought it to make spring clothes. The color is very fresh."
"Brother, did you see that? My sister-in-law is guarding me like a thief. How can I come here again in the future? She just sees that I am poor and targets me everywhere. Now she treats me as if I am trying to steal her cloth. This cloth belongs to Chunxiao. As a niece, it is not too much to give a piece of cloth to my aunt as a filial gift."
Yan Bingfa also frowned at this moment, "Er Ni, you said you wanted to come and see the new cows, and I took you to see them. If you have nothing to do, let's go to the village to talk. Chunxiao is used to being alone, so let's go over there and talk."
"What's the matter? We haven't seen each other for a long time. It's normal for us to meet and deal with things in many places. I think this place is good, so I'll talk to Chunxiao here." After saying that, she sat down in the yard and happened to meet Dashan coming in.
Dashan was also stunned when he saw her, "Auntie."
Yan Erni was delighted and stood up again after just sitting down. "Dashan, where are you from?"
"I went to town this morning." He put down the backpack and looked at Tian in a daze. Why did everyone's expressions look so ugly?
"From town?" Erni was visibly happy. "What did you buy in this basket? It looks like quite a lot." Before anyone could say anything, she started to eat. She found a basket full of bean dregs. Disappointment immediately crossed her face. "Why did you buy so much bean dregs?"
Dashan smiled and said, "The cow just came back. I'm afraid it will wilt, so I bought some bean dregs for it to eat. Why did you come here today, aunt?" Seeing the two children sitting in the main room eating heartily, he thought that their mother was so generous that she actually took out all the food to entertain them. It was like the sun rising from the west.
"Come and see me if you miss me. It's almost Chinese New Year." Yan Erni smiled at them and said, "Everyone, sit down. Why are you standing?"
"Aunt, look, Dashan is back too. Why don't we go back and sit down? Chunxiao needs to take a nap in the afternoon." Tian walked to Dashan and pulled him, but Dashan didn't understand what he meant.
"Yes, aunt, didn't Dad just pick a chicken for you? We have to tie it up quickly, otherwise it will run away and it will be difficult to find it." Zhang was not used to lying, and now she was looking for an excuse to get her away. She knew that her mother-in-law must be very angry at the moment.
"Why are you in such a hurry? It's still early." She then looked at Chunxiao and said, "Chunxiao, did you hear what your aunt just said to you? If your cousin makes money, I'll ask him to give you more. That's a good deal, right?"
"Aunt, I'm telling you the truth. I don't have much money left now. I bought the land, the quilts, the mattress, and the cloth. How can I have any money left? I'm afraid I'll have to ask my parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law for help in the future. How can I lend money to my cousin if I don't have any money? You see, everyone has their own destiny. Business is risky. There is no such thing as a guaranteed profit. It would be better for my cousin to stay at home and farm and take good care of the two children."
Seeing that she refused to lend the money, Yan Erni immediately became displeased. "I can see that you're just worried that your cousin will lose money in business and won't be able to repay you. Okay, if you don't want to lend me the money, I can force you to lend me the money at knifepoint. So, don't lend me the money." She clapped her hands. "Since you're not welcome here, I won't stay here and cause trouble. Chong'er Erbao, let's go."
The two children were enjoying their meal. "Grandma, I won't leave. If I leave, there will be nothing to eat. These things are delicious."
"Yes, grandma, there are still a lot here. Erbao has never eaten so much delicious food."
Yan Erni looked at Chunxiao.
"Since the kids like it, I'll find a backpack to put it in for them to take home to eat. It's a token of my appreciation as their cousin." Chunxiao cursed in her heart but still put on a smile on her face.
Although Yan Erni was angry about not being able to borrow change, she felt a little better when she saw Chunxiao was understanding. "Thank you, cousin."
