The golden pheasant omelet was so delicious that even after the omelet was gone, the millet rice was still untouched.
"Sister, sister! Next time we go to town, can we buy this broom flower again?"
Third Brother can eat five bowls of rice!
How could Ruan Meng bear to refuse when she saw the expectant look in her third brother's eyes?
What's more, it's not expensive.
Even if it's expensive, we have to make sure our third brother can eat it. Otherwise, what's the point of their hard work?!
Ruan Meng agreed that once the house was built, she would let her third brother go to the city with her to buy a basketful!
The third child happily volunteered to wash the dishes again.
The eldest sister-in-law couldn't help but laugh, "When our little sister gets married, we won't have to worry about her being bullied anymore. Her skill in coaxing people to do chores is truly masterful!"
Ruan Meng asked her second brother with a serious expression, "Second brother, did I coax you into doing the work?"
The second brother shook his head, his expression clearly conveying the message: "My little sister has been coaxing me."
I did it all voluntarily!
If I could win them over, wouldn't I be able to work like a whirlwind?!
The older sister-in-law covered her mouth and chuckled.
Ruan Meng left some goldenrod flowers; if she hadn't said she was taking them to the village chief's house for her eldest brother, the third brother would definitely have made Ruan Meng fry them.
Because there wasn't much left, Ruan Meng added some noodles and rice to the egg pancakes, managing to make three. Her older brother and sister-in-law took them to the village chief's house.
The village chief was about to come down with his eldest son when he saw Ruan Qian and his wife, so he went inside to greet them.
“When the eldest brother came back, he told me that he was originally supposed to come down from the beginning. But when he heard that the younger sister and the second brother had just returned from the city, he thought he should let you have a meal in peace first.”
"I was just about to go down when you arrived."
The elder sister-in-law stuffed the golden bird flower egg pancake into Sister-in-law Feng's hands. Sister-in-law Feng was embarrassed to accept it, and instead showed the plate to her father-in-law and husband, saying:
"Father, husband, look! Eldest brother and sister-in-law are coming up, still thinking of us!"
The elder sister-in-law explained, "The broom flowers were a gift from someone when my younger sister came to the city. She specially saved them for you."
The village chief sighed, "Little sister, you're so kind!"
He then said, "Alright, you've all come up here. You must have something important to discuss. Eldest brother, go and call the second brother and his wife over as well, so they can all listen in."
"The children are all taken care of by Grandma."
Feng Yun left quickly. Ruan Qian looked up and saw Feng's sister-in-law pouring water for everyone. He exchanged a glance with his wife and they understood each other.
Feng Xi and his wife arrived quickly. They first looked at the father-in-law, then at Ruan Qian and his wife, and both seemed a little uncomfortable.
They must have heard about the gossip among the villagers and their relatives.
"Village Chief, to be honest, I have two matters to discuss with you tonight..."
Ruan Qian spoke slowly and deliberately.
Speaking of He Family Restaurant, they have stopped serving seafood in a laozhi sauce and almost stopped doing seafood business altogether. The two couples, Feng Yun and Feng Xi, looked anxious.
The village chief raised his hand, signaling them not to interrupt.
Ruan Qian then informed the village chief's family, Feng Yun, Feng Xi, and others of the outcome of Ruan Meng's persuasion, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They now realize that the seafood business is not as simple as they thought. If it weren't for Ruan Meng's mediation, they wouldn't have been able to sell their seafood at all.
That's exactly right! Before the Ruan family came, the village had organized people to go to restaurants and eateries in the city to sell their wares, but they weren't even allowed to enter; nobody wanted them.
These restaurants and eateries all have fixed suppliers. They have boats and catch more and fresher seafood, unlike the scattered seafood picked up in the village, where the quantity and variety are not guaranteed.
Even with price reductions, things didn't go smoothly. Other villages had considered it, but before the deals were finalized, they were driven out of the city.
Perhaps it's because seafood has become too easy to harvest lately; in less than half a month, some people have forgotten the hardships of the past.
Sister-in-law Feng couldn't help but say, "Little sister has really had a tough time! She's younger than all of us. When the seafood hotpot was discontinued, the other seafood supplied to the restaurants was all picked up by the villagers. She's doing this entirely to help the village."
"It's so late, I just got back from the city, and all I heard was..."
"Oh! They really shouldn't have done that!"
"really!"
Sister-in-law Feng was speaking from the heart, but unexpectedly, her sister-in-law responded in this way.
“My sister and we are all grateful to have come to the village and to the village chief and villagers for taking care of us. So, even if we are poor and shouting, we are willing to do it if it can help everyone get better.”
“My husband often says he feels guilty because his health has burdened my younger sister. But I feel the same way. My younger sister is the one who has helped me both at home and outside.”
"By the way, the village chief mentioned last time that he hoped we could also provide medical care for the villagers after we build the house. Brother Feng and Brother Feng the Second should have seen the medical supplies they brought back from the city last time..."
"That's several hundred taels of silver that we borrowed from the pharmacy on credit. If we were just selling herbs, would we need so many tools?"
My little sister was bullied, and my sister-in-law won't let her personal image matter. She'll say, "If my little sister isn't happy, nobody else will be!"
