When they got home, the mother and her two children were carrying quite a lot of things.
Especially the grain that Chi Dashan was carrying on his back was very eye-catching!
Many villagers saw it.
"Wow, why are you buying so much grain? Have you struck it rich?"
"Isn't this a windfall? Didn't Chi Yongyuan deliver ten taels of silver to our door? It just goes to show that you can't have bad intentions. Heaven has eyes."
Aunt Chi smiled and made veiled criticisms.
She's not blind!
That young woman also spoke up for him quite a bit that day!
It's not that he's in cahoots with Chi Yongyuan, but for his own potential benefit, he doesn't care at all whether he'll hurt others.
Selfish and hypocritical!
The other person gave an awkward smile and walked away.
But behind his back, he was cursing and swearing.
Aunt Chi didn't care and continued to lecture her daughter-in-law: "Eldest daughter-in-law, remember this: if you can't please everyone, then make yourself happy first!"
"Mother, I understand."
Sister-in-law Chi agreed excitedly.
Those eyes held the familiar little stars that Chi Tang knew so well!
Wow, my sister-in-law actually idolizes my mother?
This realization made Chi Tang quite happy.
After arriving home, Aunt Chi helped Chi Tang urinate, changed her diapers, wiped her bottom, and then put her on the kang (a heated brick bed) and let An'an play with her.
He then went to the kitchen to tidy up.
"Eldest daughter-in-law, go and cut that piece of pork belly into pieces and roast it!"
"Second son's wife, go and steam all this rice. There's plenty of rice for you today!"
"Xiao Wu, go to the backyard and pick some green beans, four cucumbers, and peel the potatoes."
"Sanhe, take Xingxing to the river and see if there are any small shrimp or anything."
The family was ordered around by Aunt Chi.
Even though Sister-in-law Chi was not unhappy, she excitedly and loudly agreed.
Soon, smoke began to rise from the chimney of the Chi family's house.
Sister-in-law Chi is a master cook; I heard that her ancestors once owned a large restaurant!
Before long, Sister-in-law Chi had prepared the caramelized sugar. She then quickly added the blanched pork belly, stir-fried it rapidly to coat the surface of the meat with the caramelized sugar, and then added the necessary seasonings...
After stewing the meat for half an hour, I opened the lid and added an appropriate amount of salt.
"It smells so good!"
"Mom, you're amazing!"
"Auntie, may I have a bite?"
A group of little kids sat in a row, squatting there guarding the pork belly.
As soon as the lid was lifted, the aroma of meat wafted into their noses, and the little ones swallowed their saliva in a frenzy!
"The eggs are all peeled."
Brother Wu hurriedly brought over the peeled eggs, and Sister-in-law Chi immediately put them all into the pot.
"No, wait a little longer. It won't take long to reduce the sauce over high heat." Sister-in-law Chi gently refused the little ones' request, and then quickly went to cook the vegetables again.
At this moment, Third Sister-in-law Chi was still there with a long, donkey-like face, complaining unhappily to First Sister-in-law Chi: "You never said I couldn't cook, did you? What, now you're complaining about me cooking? Then don't make me do it."
It really is!
I've always made her do chores and cook, but now that we're eating well, I don't want her to do anything anymore? Is it because I don't trust her or what?
Did she swallow the meat raw when she was able to cook, or what?
"Okay, I'll talk to Mom about it later."
Sister-in-law Chi, with her good temper, agreed.
Hearing her say that, Sister-in-law Chi hesitated for a moment and said awkwardly, "I was just complaining to you, Sister-in-law, why did you tell Mother? No need, no need."
Does she dare?
The eldest son's family told the mother-in-law just now.
She'll be scolded to death by her mother-in-law right after that!
You'd better just stay put!
"Boss, go and invite Mr. Meng to our house for dinner, along with the village chief. If Mr. Meng doesn't want to come, don't force him."
Old Man Chi called out to Chi Dashan from outside.
"Dad, should we take this opportunity to talk to the village chief about our crops?" Chi Dashan asked his father.
In the courtyard, the father and son looked at each other, deep in worry.
The Chi family hasn't yet come up with a solution to the problem of their crops being the envy of others.
Chi Tang, who was being carried out by Xingxing, cried out anxiously.
But no one noticed.
How do I start the conversation?
"or……"
"Sell!"
Chi Tang's face turned bright red as she finally managed to squeeze out a single word!
Fool!
Sell it to them!
Chi Shuxing immediately shouted, "Grandpa, Dad, Auntie just spoke! She said she'd sell!"
A group of people immediately surrounded them.
But Chi Tang couldn't say anything, which made the big boss's face turn red with anger.
Sister-in-law Chi said sarcastically, "Xingxing, did you hear that right? Your little aunt is only five months old, how could she possibly talk?"
Didn't you see his face was all red from holding it in, and he still couldn't say a single word?
Chi Shuxing retorted loudly, "My aunt is just that amazing! She's good with words!"
The Chi family father and son ignored them and began to discuss things in hushed tones.
"When Tangbao said he was selling, he certainly wasn't just saying it offhand. Could he be talking about the crops?" Old Man Chi asked hesitantly.
After thinking for a while, Chi Dashan suddenly clapped his hands and said, "Dad, does my sister mean we should sell the crops to the villagers?"
"Um!"
Chi Tang gave a very loud "Mmm" and stretched out her chubby little hand, giving a thumbs up.
Great!
"Oh my, my little darling, you're so smart." Aunt Chi immediately picked up her daughter and rubbed her in her arms for a while.
Old Man Chi smiled broadly: "Yes, we'll sell them to the villagers at the prices of previous years, so they won't steal or cause any damage."
