"That's great! I'll go prepare the dishes."
Chen Yu quickly went to check if there were enough vegetables at home. There was definitely meat, but he was just checking if there were enough chili peppers and greens.
"Oh, no need to be so polite, just a couple of simple home-style dishes will do."
Little Fatty's mother was also quite embarrassed, as she hadn't actually done anything wrong.
"I'm going to get some wine."
Wu Chen suddenly felt like having a couple of drinks to celebrate.
"Hey, call Li Fu and the others over, and Li Cai and the others too."
Wei Yuyan planned to set up two tables so that everyone would know how disgusting Liu Cuifang was.
“Sister-in-law, I was just saying I was going to the yamen, but your brother Lifu said I couldn’t go.”
"Saying that my going wouldn't make any difference is true. Wu Chen is there, he'll definitely protect you."
Xiuhua's sister-in-law is more than three months pregnant, but her belly is not showing yet.
"Sister-in-law Xiuhua, you're not the same person you were before. Are you still thinking of helping me fight?"
Wei Yuyan found it amusing; her sister-in-law Xiuhua was still as fond of fighting as ever.
"Of course, but you don't need me now. Your Wu Chen and your Wu Lei will definitely protect you from now on."
As she spoke, Sister-in-law Xiuhua touched her belly, unsure whether it was a girl or a boy inside.
"The food is served."
Chen Yu and Li Fu brought out the dishes; today, the men were cooking while the women drank tea.
"Hey, I'll go get the wine."
Sister-in-law Xiuhua still has some wine at home, and I was thinking of bringing it over for them to drink.
"No need, I've brought it. How can such a good day be without wine?"
Sister-in-law Zhang arrived, carrying two jugs of wine.
"Huh? Didn't you say you weren't home?"
Wei Yuyan asked curiously.
“I just got back and came here. The kids are at their grandma’s house and don’t want to come back.”
Sister-in-law Zhang also heard about Wei Yuyan's situation and rushed back, only to find that the matter had already been resolved.
"Come, today we gather together to celebrate that my wife, Yu Yan, was not harmed by villains."
That scoundrel was successfully punished, but there wasn't enough time. Otherwise, I would have invited the whole village to a feast and spread the word. Cheers!
After Wu Chen finished speaking, he immediately drank it, and the others burst into laughter.
"Also, this glass of wine is to my sister-in-law. It is thanks to her that she rushed over to testify and clear my wife's name."
It was truly gratifying to see Liu Cuifang slapped.
Wu Chen raised his glass again to toast Little Fatty's mother.
"It's nothing to brag about. Your wife, Yu Yan, is a good woman. I admire her, so I'm willing to help her."
The little fat girl's eyes couldn't hide her admiration.
"You little rascal, one drink is fine, but two drinks are even better."
Li Fu insisted on having a couple of drinks with Wu Chen, and Chen Yu did the same; they were drinking freely today.
So in the end, the three men were slumped over the table, unable to move.
"Let them sleep here. There's a brazier here, so they won't be cold."
Wei Yuyan and the others cleaned up the dishes and left them to their own devices, since they couldn't lift them anyway.
"Young lady, I've finished eating, so I won't bother you any longer. I'm going back now."
Seeing that everything was alright, Little Fatty's mother prepared to go back home.
"Okay, come visit often."
Wei Yuyan saw Little Fatty's mother to the door before turning back to wash the dishes with Sister-in-law Zhang.
“Oh, sister-in-law, she usually doesn’t like to socialize, why is she being so kind this time, even coming all the way to town to help you.”
Sister-in-law Zhang couldn't help but gossip.
"Oh, you don't know this, her son and Xiao Lei are very close."
Little Fatty often eats at her younger brother and sister-in-law's house. She probably does this because she sees how good her brother and sister-in-law are to her son.
Before Wei Yuyan could reply, Sister-in-law Xiuhua spoke up.
"Yes, that's right. I wasn't familiar with her at all; we'd barely exchanged a few words."
Wei Yuyan nodded, agreeing with Sister-in-law Xiuhua's statement.
"Hey sis, we're starting work in a few days, so we need to figure out how to get manpower."
Sister-in-law Zhang remembered Wei Yuyan saying that if Chen Yu didn't help them sell steamed buns, they still wouldn't have enough manpower.
"Oh yeah, I'd forgotten about it if you hadn't mentioned it. We're starting work in a few days, so I'll go to town to find a human trafficker tomorrow."
Wei Yuyan was reminded by Zhang Dasao that she should buy manpower in advance, otherwise it would be too late.
"Hey girl, are you planning to buy women or men? And how many?"
Sister-in-law Zhang was somewhat expectant.
I think both men and women need it.
Wei Yuyan wants to buy a boy and a girl, but she doesn't know if there are any suitable ones.
"Selling steamed buns is naturally more suitable for women, so why would we need to buy men?"
Xiuhua's sister-in-law was puzzled.
“You all have families and don’t live in town often. Let them stay at the steamed bun shop. It’s safer with a man there.”
Wei Yuyan felt that she had enough money to spend now. Once she bought some people, she wouldn't have to do some of the work herself, and she would be happy to be free.
"Hmm, how about we go and find someone to help you find a match?"
Sister-in-law Zhang had never seen what it was like to buy people, but she wanted to see the world for herself.
"Okay, you two come tomorrow morning."
Wei Yuyan thought that Sister-in-law Xiuhua must be bored at home, so she took her to visit me.
"Take me with you! That would be great!"
Sister-in-law Xiuhua was quite pleased to hear this.
The men slept for half the afternoon before waking up.
"Sorry, I drank too much at noon."
Wu Chen splashed cold water on his face and looked at Wei Yuyan, who was sewing clothes in the yard, afraid that she would be unhappy.
"It's okay to drink too much once in a while, but I didn't expect you to have such a low alcohol tolerance."
Wei Yuyan joked that she thought Wu Chen would be a good drinker, but he was actually not as good as Chen Yu and Li Fu.
"That's right, I feel like I get drunk more easily when I'm happy."
Wu Chen scratched his head, then picked up a broom and swept away the dust beside him.
"Let's go to the human slave dealer tomorrow and see if there are any suitable candidates."
Wei Yuyan made the suggestion.
"Okay, have you decided what age you want to find?"
Wu Chen nodded and asked again.
"I think that regardless of gender, they should be around thirty or forty years old."
Wei Yuyan didn't want to buy a maid or a young boy to do the work.
We already have daughters and sons at home, so we don't need so many.
"Okay, you decide."
Wu Chen agreed with all of Wei Yuyan's decisions.
Early the next morning~
Wu Chen had already cooked breakfast: sweet potato porridge and egg pancakes.
"I haven't had steamed buns in a long time, and I miss them a bit."
Wei Yuyan was craving meat buns.
"I'll knead the dough when I get back this afternoon."
Wu Chen isn't very good at making steamed buns, but she has no problem kneading dough.
"Okay, by the way, brother-in-law, do you want to open a shop here to sell scented soap or go back to your own place?"
Wei Yuyan put down her bowl and looked at Chen Yu, who was washing clothes next to her.
"I'll do whatever you say is right."
Chen Yu spoke without hesitation.
"My idea is to open it here first, for six months to a year, and if there are no problems, then you can open it over there."
That way, if there are any business problems, we can offer advice and solutions.
