Chapter 35: Delivering Dry Food
Chen Zhanliang kept nodding his head. He was disgusted with what Old Lady Chen did from the bottom of his heart. Now he even doubted whether Old Lady Chen was his biological mother. How could she do such a thing as selling her granddaughter? It was such an inhumane thing!
"Qing is such a good girl, she is causing trouble for others. Fortunately, I don't have a daughter, only two sons."
Sun rolled her eyes at him. "Don't say such sarcastic words. Your mother is such a cruel thing. She even tried to harm Chen Han a few days ago. She would give up everything for the third child. How could she not be concerned about our two children?"
Chen Zhanliang suddenly felt a chill in his crotch and a cold wind on his neck.
"Wife, your words really reminded me that when I go out to work in the future, I will always take Dabao with me.
You have to keep an eye on Erbao for me at home. Erbao is still young and can be tricked away with just a piece of candy."
Sun's face turned pale. "Don't scare me. I was just saying it casually. Mother won't really plot against our son, will she?"
"It's better to be safe than sorry. Mother would do anything for the third child. Besides, I really don't want Qing to marry that bastard Li the butcher."
After Chen Zhanliang finished speaking, he thought for a moment and then spoke again,
"Wife, think carefully. If Qing doesn't marry, the Third Brother and his family will definitely be reluctant to marry Ruolan off. In that case, mother will have to return the betrothal gift. How can they cancel the engagement without money? So, you have to keep an eye on my son. Don't be careless."
"Don't worry, starting tomorrow I won't let Erbao out of my sight."
"Don't just keep an eye on Erbao, but also take care of Xiaohan from Big Brother's family. Don't let anyone take advantage of you."
"Don't worry, I understand what you mean." Sun snorted softly, "Zhanliang, I'm not afraid you won't like it. Although we have separated from the eldest branch, we are human beings, not animals. I have watched Qing girl grow up since she was a child. As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I can't just watch her jump into the fire pit."
"That's right. I've been calling you Second Uncle and Second Aunt since I was little. I'm better than that damn girl Ruolan. She just rolls her eyes at me."
"So, we have to help where we can. We can't let your mother's scheme succeed."
Chen Zhanliang shook his head helplessly. "What can we do? We have no food, no money, and nothing to offer. What can we do?"
"That's not difficult at all. It's no big deal for me."
Chen Zhanliang sat up suddenly, looking surprised. "Wife, you are not going to steal food, are you? I can't do that. My mother even locks up a thorn in the cupboard. There is no way she can break the lock open!"
"Who said I wanted to steal food? Don't forget, I'm the only one working in the fire room right now. If I secretly left two pieces of dry food, it wouldn't be noticeable."
Sun looked very proud and took out a cloth bag from her bosom.
"Look, here are two mixed-flour steamed buns. I'll take them to my brother and his wife later."
"Okay, you're amazing. It's not in vain that my sister-in-law treats you well."
"That's necessary. Do you think everyone has a black heart like Chen Zhancai?"
Sun was somewhat indignant.
"The third brother is too much. He is in his thirties and doesn't know anything. He is selfish and has no humanity.
He sold his niece for a chance to study, why didn't he marry his daughter off?
To put it bluntly, we are all stepping stones for the third brother's family. They don't take us seriously at all.
If you ask me, he has a bad conscience. If he really becomes capable, we are nothing but shit in his eyes and won't get any credit from him.
In my opinion, as long as the eldest brother holds on, we can ask the third brother to return the money and return the betrothal money to Li the butcher, and everything will be fine."
Chen Zhanliang curled his lips and said, "I can see that too. The third brother's family is just ungrateful and can't be fed. We really can't expect to benefit from him."
"Why didn't you tell me this earlier? If I knew you were thinking the same thing, I would have beaten you to pieces today and I wouldn't have let Mom give all the money to the third child.
I don't think they are studying, but rather a family going to town to enjoy some peace and quiet."
Sun felt a little regretful and felt it was unfair no matter how she thought about it.
Chen Zhanliang shook his head and sighed, "What can I do if I say so? If we really make a scene and let outsiders laugh at us, how are we going to live in the future? Everyone knows our mother's character, and the jokes are all on her."
"Okay, wife, aren't you going to the main room? Hurry up and go!"
"Okay, let me see if my parents are asleep." Sun stood up and glanced towards the main room. It was pitch black. "Go to bed quickly. I'll be back soon."
"Don't worry, I'll wait for you." Chen Zhanliang raised his eyebrows and smiled wickedly, "Let me come over later and tell you a good joke. I guarantee you'll like it."
"Look at your stuffy look, just wait at home." After saying that, Sun cautiously walked out of the house and headed towards the next yard.
......
Chen Qingqing tossed and turned in bed, her mind in a mess.
After traveling to this dynasty, she truly realized how important food is to the people and how difficult it is to have a full meal. It was such a waste of her medical skills that they were of no use.
The climate here is indeed suitable for ginseng growth. Although she knows that digging ginseng is not easy, she is determined to try it again.
Whether you can make money and get out of trouble depends entirely on yourself.
As long as she has the first start-up capital, whether she starts a business selling food or opens a pharmacy, I believe she will be able to lead a good life with her family.
I looked down at the ring on my finger and wondered, what on earth is your use for? Hurry up and give me a surprise!
Wouldn't God really let her marry the tyrannical Li the Butcher, then give birth to a litter of wolf cubs for him, raise them up, have them pass the imperial examinations, and eventually become high-ranking generals, ministers, and princes?
Oh, this is too disgusting!
She couldn't help but shiver all over.
Just as she was daydreaming, she heard someone outside the yard saying, "Sister-in-law, are you asleep?"
Lin was about to lie down when she heard someone and hurried out, "Who is it?"
"Sister-in-law, it's me." Sun lowered her voice.
Lin asked in confusion, "Cuiqin, is there something wrong so late at night?"
"Sister-in-law, please keep your voice down so no one can hear you."
Lin was confused by her, but she still let Sun into the house.
Sun looked around and said, "Oh, this house is fine in the summer, but it's a nightmare in the winter!"
Lin ignored him and asked directly, "Cuiqin, what brings you here so late?"
"Sister-in-law, I came here specially to see you." Sun said as she came closer to Chen Qingqing, her face full of sympathy, "Qing girl, you have suffered so much."
