Chapter 14: Counting Money

In ancient times, families like the original owner's had few who ate three meals a day. Most had only two meals a day, especially after the new dynasty was established. Every family that could fill their stomachs was considered wealthy.

The original body had not intended to be so high-profile, but the situation was special. There was a pregnant woman at home, and the original body was not in good health. The village barefoot doctor saw me several times and said that I should take some supplements. I was reluctant to buy supplements and meat, so the original body thought that if I was not hungry, I would have eaten three meals a day. In addition, her grandson was still young, and she loved him so she changed to three meals a day.

In fact, it was only less than a month after it started, but unfortunately her original body had not recovered yet and she came.

At dinner, all you could see at the table were the men using their chopsticks very quickly. The women, even with their children, refused to give in. Zhulan also ate with relish. It is difficult to eat pure, natural and pollution-free food in modern times, but it was easy in ancient times. Cabbage was sweet and delicious.

The staple food is rationed after all. Even though three meals a day are not meant to be filling, they can guarantee that you are 70% full. However, tonight you can eat more than 90% full. Mrs. Li put a lot of cabbage in, and the remaining rice porridge was shared with the grandchildren, so the adults ate a little more.

Zhulan put down her chopsticks first to save her stomach for taking medicine. Zhulan liked children very much. She had been here for a day and did not dare to go near them in the morning. Now that Zhou Shuren was here, she felt at ease and observed her grandchildren carefully.

The eldest grandson Zhou Mingyun is of a naughty age and doesn't even eat well. The second grandson Zhou Mingteng is chubby and strong. The eldest granddaughter Zhou Yushuang is timid and doesn't dare to raise her head when eating. The only thing they are good at is cleanliness.

"Yushuang comes to grandma's place."

Zhao was so frightened that she grabbed her daughter and asked, "Mom, did you ask Yu Shuang something?"

Yu Shuang was infected by her mother's tone. The little girl was shaking with fear. If she hadn't bit her lips tightly, she would have cried out of fear.

Zhulan, "......."

She really wanted to curse. What did she say? She just wanted to get close to her granddaughter, but she scared the mother and daughter enough and they were a little upset.

Li picked up the last dish and pushed her little son over, "Mom, Ming Teng kept saying he missed you today!"

The second grandson, Zhou Mingteng, was young and knew that his grandmother was good to him. He hadn't seen his grandmother for a day, so he rushed over and shouted, "Grandma, Grandma."

Zhulan couldn't resist the baby voice, it was so cute, she picked up Mingteng and said, "Let grandma kiss you."

The child felt itchy and started giggling. Zhulan's depressed mood improved as she listened to the child's laughter.

Li looked at her younger brother's wife with pride, her eyes full of disdain. She really looked down on the second brother's family, but she was also happy. The more the second brother's family behaved like this, the more her mother disliked them and the more she would favor the eldest brother's family.

Zhao bit her lip and lowered her head, her eyes red.

Zhulan saw this with the rest of her eyes, and was completely speechless about the second son's wife. She also saw Yushuang's tears falling, and she silently recited the Three Character Classic in her heart. The good children were all raised by Zhao, and she said to Li, "Hurry up and clean the table."

As she said this, Zhulan put down her grandson, pried open Zhao's hands, and hugged Yushuang, "Okay, don't cry."

Li was surprised. This was the first time this year that her mother-in-law held the girl. She didn't dare to think too much, "Okay, mother."

Although Zhulan's attention was on Yushuang, she was also looking at everyone in the room. Fortunately, everyone was just surprised and didn't think much about it. Thinking this way, being at the top of the food chain is also good. At least she doesn't have to care about other people's faces, and no one dares to say anything no matter what she wants to do.

Zhulan put the child down after coaxing him into submission. There was still a long time to go, and she didn't think it would be unrealistic to change everything all at once.

After she had boiled the medicine and drunk it, and her sons had gone back to their rooms, she returned to her bedroom.

Zhou Shuren had woken up a long time ago. Seeing the oil lamp lit, although the light was not good, he could see Zhulan taking the cash box, and he became more alert. "Do you want to count the family assets?"

Zhulan smiled and said, "Well, but wait until I find everything."

Counting money is such a joy!
