Chapter 509 Discussion (Thanks to the reward from the book friend "Yu Han ＇◇")
Zhou Erlang took off his shoes and pulled the quilt over him. Seeing that Feng was still unhappy, he couldn't help but ask, "Are you still angry?"
Feng snorted at him.
Zhou Erlang let out a comfortable sigh while lying on the bed, resting his head on his arm and saying, "Don't be angry. Manbao was raised by my sister-in-law. When I took care of her, I felt more pain than Santou. How can it be the same?"
Feng kicked him, almost knocking him under the bed. "How could I not know? I just said something so sour, do you really need to use my cooking skills to criticize me?"
Zhou Erlang was a little embarrassed. He coughed lightly and said, "I was just worried that you would lose face."
"You think I'm going to be embarrassed just because you say my cooking is bad?" Feng snorted, "Just wait, when my sister-in-law opens a shop in the county town, I'll be cooking every day."
Tuesday Lang:......
Manbao said that he gave the shop to Xiao Qian's family so that they could eat delicious food often, but that was just what he said, and everyone just listened to it.
This reason probably accounts for less than half of the total.
If it’s really for food, Manbao should buy more ingredients. Otherwise, who will cook for the family when Xiao Qian goes to the county town?
After all, the main thing is that Manbao wants to be filial to Xiao Qianshi and wants her to live a better life.
Feng couldn't help but feel envious, but she wasn't jealous yet.
Manbao was raised by Xiao Qian. At that time, her mother-in-law fainted and was seriously ill, so Xiao Qian took care of everything from eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping. She was more attentive to her than to Santou.
Because she was weak, Xiao Qian stopped breastfeeding Santou early and focused on feeding Manbao.
When Manbao was little, he never called the wrong mother, but he was more attached to Xiao Qianshi. If there was anyone who was jealous, it should be the mother-in-law who was jealous, right?
Thinking of this, Feng couldn't help but whisper to Zhou Erlang, "Hey, do you think mother is angry?"
"No way," Zhou Erlang scratched his head and said, "When my uncle was alive, he also treated mother as his own mother."
He couldn't help but laugh, "Manbao is a bit like her father, but she's a little better than him. When my uncle was little, he just called my mother "Mom," which made my grandmother very angry."
Feng said, "It's true that whoever gives you milk is your mother."
"If you had the ability, you would have been born two years later, just in time for your baby to have a full breast."
Feng really kicked Zhou Erlang off the bed.
The jealousy in Feng's heart disappeared, and the rest of them didn't have any thoughts at all. Not to mention that Fang and Lu Zhi came later and had never raised Manbao, even He didn't think much about it.
When Manbao came back that year, she had just moved in not long ago. The new daughter-in-law was completely confused and followed him tremblingly to keep such a big thing a secret. When she came to her senses, she was pregnant again.
By the time the fourth baby was born, Manbao was able to walk by holding on to the wall.
Although Feng had taken over the care of Manbao, He hadn't contributed much, so she didn't think much of it. Zhou Sanlang was also open-minded and was whispering to her, "When your sister-in-law goes to the county, you and your fourth and fifth sisters-in-law can take turns in managing the kitchen, or let my eldest sister take charge."
"what?"
Zhou Sanlang was distressed, "My second sister-in-law's cooking is the worst. Now that my eldest sister-in-law is gone, she's the boss in the family."
After he said that, He Shi also became worried. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Don't we still have our eldest sister? Her cooking is pretty good too. Why don't we let her take care of it?"
In the small courtyard next door, everyone was also discussing this matter. After all, it was a big matter involving the food and drink of the whole family.
Zhou Silang complained to Manbao, "Why didn't you tell me earlier to let your eldest sister-in-law teach your fourth sister-in-law and the others more? Now that your eldest sister-in-law is gone, who will take care of the kitchen?"
"You can't open a shop right away after buying it, so it's not too late to learn now."
"If you don't open the shop right away after buying it, you're just wasting money. Don't you know that every day you keep the shop open, you're losing money?" Zhou Silang said immediately, "No, tomorrow I'll have my second sister-in-law and third brother go with us. As soon as we buy the shop, we'll clean it up and buy everything we need. We'll open it after the second day of the New Year."
Zhou Wulang nodded repeatedly. "The county town is always bustling with activity during the Lantern Festival. Selling food during that time will definitely make a lot of money, so it's better to start this business sooner rather than later."
"So you see, you should have told us earlier. Once the eldest sister-in-law leaves, the second sister-in-law will be the boss in the family. Will the food she cooks be edible?"
Even Ertou and Erya shook their heads, "No."
Manbao was angry. "Can you blame me? I just ran into Uncle Shi today when I came to the city. If he didn't sell the shop, how could I have thought of buying it?"
Zhou Silang sighed, "It's good to have money. You can buy a shop if you want."
Zhou Wulang and Zhou Liulang nodded in agreement.
Zhou Silang always felt that something was wrong. "You are supposed to hand over 60% of your earnings, so how can you save so much? We have a hundred acres of land at home, and we also raise chickens and geese. All the income from the year-round is in Dad's hands, but he doesn't save this much."
Manbao said, "Are you stupid? Aren't you eating grain? The food produced by our small farm is only enough to support three farmhands. Even the head of Baizhuang eats at the Bai family. Just count how many people there are in our family."
"Every year, we spend money on meat, eggs, fabric for our nephews and nieces, and medicine for family illnesses. All of this is paid for by my parents, but our farm doesn't have any of these expenses... Huh?" Manbao pondered. "Our farm has an income now. Shouldn't we pay for the farmhands' clothes and other things?"
Zhou Silang immediately interrupted Manbao's thoughts and asked loudly, "What do you think is a suitable price for those foods?"
Manbao's attention was diverted. He put the previous problem deep in his heart and discussed the matter of opening a shop with everyone.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the three farmhands could only make two sets of clothes a year at most, two sets was still a lot. The money saved could be divided into three parts, so their youngest sister (sister-in-law) could also get some, right?
You should still pick at it when it’s time to do so.
No, that’s not right. This is not called being stingy, this is called saving!
The people in the courtyard were discussing things heatedly and couldn't sleep. Zhou Dalang and his wife, who were separated by a wall, were also awake. Seeing that his wife's eyes were still red, Zhou Dalang couldn't help but say, "Are you still crying?"
Little Qian wiped her tears and said, "I just didn't expect that the first one to be adopted was Manbao's filial son. Have you told your parents?"
"I told you, I've brought the household registration."
Xiao Qian breathed a sigh of relief. "Tomorrow, you will hold Manbao hostage. You and Lao Er will go there in person. Remember to register the shop under Manbao's name."
"I know, don't worry."
Xiao Qian was completely relieved and leaned on the bed and said, "Although this is Manbao's filial piety, her parents haven't received it yet. Put it in Manbao's name and use it as a dowry when she gets married."
Zhou Dalang looked at her and smiled, "You really think too much. You specifically registered it under Manbao's name. Are you afraid that Dad will take over the shop?"
Come on, fellow book friend who was given an extra chapter, let's talk about where you found these characters. It took me ten minutes to find one-third of the characters, and there are still four that I haven't found.
Yes, I'm talking about you, you must know I'm talking about you
Finally, good night
