Chapter 64



The news spread throughout Bailutang before the afternoon. When Jiang Li heard this at home, she burst into laughter.

I have to say that the villagers are just gossipy. There is no entertainment activity. If there is any idea or something, the villagers will turn it over and over again.

While Chen Xianyun was sewing the soles of shoes, he asked, "Who spread this message?

Last time, 廩 said that Sanzhu from our village had a girlfriend, but it turned out that she was someone else's cousin's wife. This was a lie.

Anyway, I don’t believe it…”

Old Mrs. Qi nodded. "I don't believe it."

Jiang Li gave her mother-in-law a thumbs up in her heart while cutting the edamame that Chen Xianyun had just brought home. "Mom, can you make some edamame for dinner?"

"Yes, stew the big fish you brought back. Pear, how do you want to eat it, steamed or braised?"

Jiang Li raised her hand, "Mom, do you have sweet potato noodles? Can I make sweet potato noodles with fish head?"

"Sweet potato vermicelli? Hey, it's vermicelli. We don't have it at home. I'll go to Tiedan's house to exchange some. It's the same as before. You tell me how to make it and I'll make it for you."

"Mom, the fish head is big, let's stew half of it and add some tofu. The old lady can't eat chili."

Chen Xianyun smiled and said, "Okay."

Old Mrs. Qi came up to Jiang Li like a child and asked, "Li Li, how are your sales today?"

Jiang Li smiled. "Not bad. There are only two or three left. I made seven dollars today."

Chen Xianyun smiled. She knew it was not bad. The baskets for the pear-shaped hair ties were empty.

I bought such a big fish, but I didn't expect to make so much money by selling a few small things.

The old lady nodded and fanned herself with a palm leaf fan. "You are still better because you have read books. If I had known, I would have studied more with that young lady."

Seeing Jiang Li's puzzled look, Chen Xianyun explained, "In the past, our family was poor, and the old lady worked as a personal maid for a wealthy family."

Jiang Li suddenly realized, and Mrs. Qi continued to mutter, "From now on, the younger generations in the family must study. If people don't study, they won't understand the truth, and their brains won't be able to turn around."

"The old lady is right. Not everyone has the brains to do business like Li Zi."

Chen Xianyun felt relieved a little, but she was actually very worried.

A few years ago, the situation was tense and even peddlers were not allowed to come. Now Jiang Li said she wanted to do business again.

Ever since Li Zi carried the things into the city, she had been worried.

Fortunately, an old lady kept persuading her, saying that the higher-ups had become more lenient with the situation. She heard that there was a large group of people raising rabbits nearby, and there were many stalls selling rabbits near the railway station. Only then did she feel more at ease.

"Shaoqiang is back?" Chen Xianyun was the first to notice Qi Shaoqiang returning home.

"Mom, what's wrong with your face?"

Chen Xianyun was stunned. He felt a sore spot on his cheekbone, which must be a bruise.

"It's just those gossipers in the village who are jealous of our family's good life and gossip about us."

Qi Shaoqiang frowned, "Mom, who bullied you?"

Fearing that Qi Shaoqiang might have heard the gossip of outsiders and had a bad impression of the relationship between Dong and Li Zi, Chen Xianyun quickly said, "It was the neighbor next door who instigated it, and a few gossipers added fuel to the fire.

It's okay. Li Zi and I teamed up to beat them up. We will have to report to the meeting tomorrow. We didn't lose anything."

Old Madam Qi called out the names slowly, "Especially Sun Xiufang's husband Zhuang Daqiang, relying on his manhood, he wanted to attack us!"

Qi Shaoqiang secretly memorized the name and prepared to go out to the village after dinner to listen.

For dinner, we had Jiang Lixiang's fish head with vermicelli. The fish head was golden brown on both sides, the dried tofu was fragrant and tasty, the brown vermicelli broke easily with chopsticks, and the red soup was gurgling, with chopped green onions sprinkled all over it.

The whole family ate until they were sweating profusely, and in the end they even finished the soup at the bottom of the pot by dipping the steamed buns in it.

The manor next door smelled the odor and started to complain again. Zhao Xiangyu felt so jealous that her heart was bubbling. "We have so much money every day, and we eat either fish or meat all day long. We are afraid that others don't know what we are eating!

Why don't I eat you to death, you whole family of evil-minded and rotten things. It would be better if you get seriously ill from eating."

Cheng Yanyan held her stomach and stared at the egg custard on the table without moving her eyes. "Mom, your grandson is hungry. Please give me some eggs."

"Why would an adult fight with a child for eggs? Why are they so greedy?"

"Mom, why don't you stew an egg for Yanyan? We have some at home.

Besides, Yanyan is eating for two now, how can I give birth to a grandson for you if I don’t eat enough.”

Zhuang Lao Er was obsessed with Zhao Xiangyu and was determined to grind out an egg.

"Go get one and cook it yourself later."

Zhao Xiangyu finally gave in, but Wu Meili was very dissatisfied. The second family was always lazy and ate a lot of snacks. She didn't know how many snacks they had secretly eaten.

It’s not enough for the eldest son of the family to eat an egg every other day. Now the second son’s wife also eats eggs. How can our family be so proud?

Her mother-in-law was partial to her. Wu Meili was so angry that she kicked Zhuang Lao Da hard under the table. When Zhuang Lao Da saw his daughter-in-law's eyes, he shrank his head and continued to eat his meal.

Seeing the cowardly look on his face, Wu Meili became even angrier and said, "Mom, this chicken was fed by me and the third brother's family.

My second brother's wife didn't work when she was young, and now she's pregnant and rich, and she's still eating eggs?

Did I eat eggs when I was pregnant? Not only did I not eat anything fishy, ​​I didn’t even have any meat in my mouth. Anyway, I don’t agree to that! "

Zhao Xiangyu slammed the bowl on the table and glared, "Is it your turn to be the boss in this family?"

"Why are you giving birth to two girls? Are they a match? Your second sister-in-law is pregnant with a boy.

If you are not convinced, go home as soon as possible. You are so old and you didn't even leave any incense for our eldest brother, and you still have the nerve to yell about eating eggs!"

Cheng Yanyan proudly puffed out her belly and said, "Yes, sister-in-law, your belly has been still since you gave birth to Sanya, so you should go and have a look soon.

If you can't get over it, you won't even have a chance to break the pot, so you still have to rely on your nephews."

Wu Meili was so angry that her face turned red, and she pinched her palms hard. The five-year-old Sanya next to her couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily, and accidentally dropped them on the ground, so she grabbed them and hit her hard.

"You can't even eat! You little bitch, what use are you!"

Sanya was beaten so hard that she burst into tears. Da Ya and Er Ya huddled together and cried, "Mom, please don't beat me."

Wu Meili became more and more annoyed as she heard the crying, and she beat San Ya more fiercely, until her face became as swollen as a steamed bun.

It's all these girls' fault. Now that she gave birth to a boy, she doesn't have to be inferior to the second brother's family in everything. It's all their fault!
