Hu Wenhua secretly made a mental note of it, and when he got back, he would definitely treat Aunt Ding even better!
He needs to make a good impression on her. He'd only been working hard for Uncle Ding before; he'd been focusing on the wrong things. He needs to help Aunt Ding with more chores...
Fan Dazhu felt a pang of sadness as he listened from the side. He was a year older than Hu Wenhua, so why hadn't anyone asked for his opinion?
Hu Wenhua is my second aunt's younger brother, and he is also my second uncle's nephew!
He looked at the men from his village, gritted his teeth, and said, "Uncle, we're from the same village, why don't you care about your nephew first?"
The scene fell silent immediately.
It was a little awkward.
Li Wu coughed and chose a face-saving way of saying, "Your family is well-off, and your parents are decisive; they don't need our concern."
Just because they're from the same village, how could they not know what kind of people Fan Qian and Sun Jinhua are?
The Ding family's daughter didn't say a word, yet she was relentlessly scolded by this family for several years. Oh, Fan Qian didn't scold her, but he, a grown man, didn't interfere with his wife and son, which meant he tacitly approved of it!
It's a marriage alliance, not a feud. They have no grudge against their cousins or nieces, so there's no reason for them to harm them.
The four sons of the Fan family were all stuck with a unreasonable and meddlesome mother like Sun Jinhua. No girl from any family would have a good time marrying into that family, yet they all thought they were living in a golden house and that whoever married into it was getting a good deal.
They wouldn't dare to even think about it!
Xu Laosan chuckled twice.
Awkward but polite.
His eldest niece was someone he watched grow up! She was the first child of the next generation in the Xu family, so their bond was naturally different. How could she marry into the Fan family? Wouldn't that mean her family would be constantly backing her up?
He'd rather use his old back on his own wife for plowing, than get involved in other people's messy affairs.
Fan Dazhu felt a mix of bitterness and joy when he heard his family praised for their good conditions.
The joy comes from the satisfaction of vanity in front of others, while the bitterness comes from the fact that his family is now just an empty shell, possessing fields, mountains, forests, and houses but no money.
There isn't much grain either.
Every household in the village had stockpiled a lot of things in preparation for rising prices after the flood, but my family hadn't prepared anything and had no money.
The money he and Erzhu earned hadn't even arrived yet, but his mother already knew how to use it; it was like waiting for rice to be cooked.
However, he couldn't say this in front of others. He puffed out his chest and said arrogantly, "That's true. Mother said there are plenty of girls who want to marry me, so there's no rush."
Li Wu, Xu Laosan, and their group pursed their lips and remained silent in the darkness.
They knew all too well what kind of situation the Fan family was; they had indeed been among the top three in the village in the past.
But now other families have caught up with us. Not to mention money, they have at least a lot of grain stored up. And before they came out, the elders in the family said that the rabbits were almost ready for market, and they should ask the old village chief for his opinion on how to sell them.
If we sell the rabbits, our savings will increase.
If they can't be sold, will we have rabbit meat to eat?
No, no, compared to eating meat, money is more important—it's not too late to eat meat when we have money.
