Huang Kailin interrupted him, "You and Peng Fang, either keep one of you at home to farm the land, or return the land to the village and stop farming in the future!"

Huang Jianguo's face changed. "How can that be possible? If we return the land, what will our family of four eat in the future?"

"You have four people in your family, and three of them are working outside to earn money. Are you still worried that you won't be able to earn enough to eat?"

"Making money is a matter of making money, and the land must continue to be cultivated."

"That's your own business. I can't control it or help you."

Seeing that Huang Kailin was not convinced, Huang Jianguo turned his attention to his eldest brother Huang Jianjun, "Brother, you have to help me. Xiao Zhao will be 21 next year, and Xiao Wen will go to college. Everything needs money. If we don't go out to work and earn money, how can we find a wife for Huang Zhao in the future? How can we support Huang Wen to go to college? Don't you agree?"

Huang Zhiqiu spoke up quickly for fear that Huang Jianjun would soften his heart and agree.

"Second brother, Xiaoyu is two years older than Xiaozhao. He will be 23 next year. How about you help Xiaoyu solve his lifelong event first? Then, big brother and I will definitely help Xiaozhao."

Huang Jianguo suddenly said awkwardly, "Xiaoyu's marriage is off, isn't it? How can I help?"

"Xiaoyu's marriage was called off because she didn't have money for the betrothal gift. I've inquired about it and the girl is still single. Let's help Xiaoyu prepare the betrothal gift and the three major items. There will definitely be no problem on the girl's side."

Hearing that Huang Zhiqiu wanted him to pay, Huang Jianguo immediately started to cry poor.

"Your second sister-in-law and I don't have money. If we had money, we would have opened a bamboo weaving factory with you. Zhiqiu, your Momo is so capable that she can come up with such a large sum of money to help you open a factory. You can also ask her for help with Xiaoyu's matter."

"no!"

Huang Jianjun reacted quickly this time. "Momo has helped our family enough. She is still in school like your Xiaowen. We can't cause her any more trouble. Besides, Xiaoyu is the eldest brother, so he should take care of Momo. How can he ask her to help solve his lifelong affairs? If people tell others, they will poke holes in my and Liu Zhi's spines."

Huang Jianguo didn't understand Huang Jianjun's old-fashioned thinking. "Brother, how can they be the same? Didn't Momo grow up in a wealthy family? Any gold bracelet costs thousands of yuan..."

Huang Zhiqiu interrupted Huang Jianguo and said, "Second brother, Momo has severed ties with her adoptive parents and will no longer have any contact with them in the future."

Upon hearing this, Huang Jianguo was immediately filled with regret.

"Why is Momo so stupid? That family is so rich, they can easily get away with it. Hey, Zhiqiu, why don't you try to persuade them..."

"Shut up!" Huang Kailin glared at Lao Er angrily, "If you can't speak, just say less. It's not your turn to point fingers at Momo's affairs!"

Huang Jianguo grumbled indifferently, "I didn't say anything wrong. Huang Yao stole the money and ran away. But our Huang family members don't even enjoy the blessing."

“Who wouldn’t enjoy the blessing?”

Peng Fang stepped into the house from outside and asked deliberately, but no one paid attention to her.

The Huang family’s place was not very big, so the conversation in the house could be heard in the kitchen. Peng Fanggang was standing in the yard, so it was impossible for him not to hear it.

Peng Fang was not embarrassed and sat down opposite Huang Zhiqiu.

"Zhiqiu, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you have to do something else with all that money. Why do you have to start a bamboo weaving factory? Dad has been weaving for his whole life, and we've been weaving for half our lives too. Who has made any money? You might as well use the money to build a new house, or do something else in the city. It's better than running a bamboo weaving factory anyway."

Huang Zhiqiu replied calmly: "Second brother and second sister-in-law, I didn't make it clear this morning. The money for building the bamboo weaving factory was not given by Momo, but was advanced by the boss who ordered the rice dumpling boxes.

Momo is just an ordinary student now, and has no relationship with the Yun family. Her son-in-law runs a small business, which is only enough for the two of them to eat, and he can't help with anything else."

Peng Fang was skeptical, "You haven't even delivered the goods yet, and the boss has already paid you?"

"They only gave us a small amount, barely enough to rent a factory. We have to figure out the rest ourselves."

Hearing this, Peng Fang felt a little regretful and a little happy.

Now, knowing that the money for opening the bamboo weaving factory was not given by Yun Mo, but was prepaid by the boss who bought the rice dumpling boxes, and that Yun Mo was so stupid as to break off relations with her adoptive parents, she suddenly stopped being envious and instead secretly gloated over their misfortune.

Huang Jianye was tired, hungry and exhausted when he got home from work. He went straight into the kitchen as soon as he entered the door.

"Wife, what are we having for dinner?"

"You only know how to eat. I never saw you bring any money home."

Huang Jianye couldn't help but defend himself aggrievedly, "Isn't it because the boss is afraid that no one will work, so he has been holding back wages and hasn't paid them yet? What can I do?"

Song Tingfeng glared at him. "It's almost the New Year. When will it be distributed? I'm still waiting to prepare New Year's goods."

"We have a holiday on the 20th, so we will definitely be able to send it out before the holiday, which should be in a few days."

As he spoke, Huang Jianye poked his head towards the stove. Potatoes and meat were stewing in an iron pot, bubbling with steam, and the air was filled with an enticing aroma.

Huang Jianye rubbed his hands with salivation, "Today's dishes are good, are they almost ready? Pick up a piece for me to taste."

Song Tingfeng scooped up a piece of meat with a spatula. "The family that was doing the work today was very stingy. There were only five or six dishes on each table, which was not enough to eat. This small pot of stewed potatoes and meat was saved by me in advance."

Huang Jianye took the meat into his mouth. He was so burned that his teeth clenched but he was reluctant to spit it out. "Wow, it's so hot. The fact that we can eat hot food in our family is all thanks to your wisdom and virtue. Hmm, this meat tastes so delicious, much more delicious than pickles."

Song Tingfeng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Stop being so idle here, wash your hands and get ready to eat."

"Okay!"

It is said to be stewed potatoes with meat, but in fact it is mostly potatoes and not much meat.

Song Tingfeng picked up two pieces of meat for each of Huang Jianye and Huang Jin, and then put another piece into her daughter Huang Ying's bowl. She also ate a piece herself, and suddenly there were only a few pieces of meat left in the dish.

Huang Jin ate the meat in the bowl in three or two bites, then reached out his chopsticks to pick up some more from the vegetable bowl.

Song Tingfeng glanced at his son and said nothing.

Huang Ying also reached out her chopsticks to pick up some meat, but as soon as her chopsticks touched the meat, Song Tingfeng blocked them away, "Eat more potatoes."

Huang Ying pouted in dissatisfaction, "I don't want to eat potatoes, I want to eat meat, my brother ate three pieces and I only ate one piece!"

Song Tingfeng rolled her eyes at her. "How old is he? How old are you? Do you have the nerve to compare yourself with him?"

Huang Ying's eyes turned red and tears started to fall.

Huang Jianye couldn't bear to see his daughter crying. "Oh, if she wants to eat, just let her eat. There's more in the bowl."

Song Tingfeng glared at him, "You're just good at talking, why don't you bring the money back? It's been a long time since your family bought meat. If I hadn't brought it back from outside, you would only be able to eat pickles now!"

After being yelled at by his wife, Huang Jianye remained silent as he felt guilty.
