Early this morning, Chen Xuanxuan's elder brother Chen Daming actually came back from the county town.

As soon as he returned to Chenjia Village, he immediately drove his donkey cart to find Chen Xuanxuan.

He hadn't seen his biological sister for almost a month.

When he suddenly saw Chen Xuanxuan after such a long time, he suddenly realized that his biological sister had changed a lot in recent years.

She used to be dark, ugly and small.

But now she is white, beautiful and fat.

For the ancient countryside, if a woman is white and plump, her face is like a washbasin, and her butt is round and big, then she is the most blessed in everyone's eyes, and she is the kind of woman who can give birth to a son.

Chen Xuanxuan is now the most typical blessed image in the eyes of the rural people.

Of course, because Chen Xuanxuan has gained weight recently, her father-in-law no longer speaks ill of her.

Her father-in-law is such a face-loving person.

Whenever her father-in-law Gu Yu'an hears people in his village say that his daughter-in-law is fairer, more beautiful and fatter, it must be because the family's food is getting better and better, the family is getting richer, his son is promising, and the business is getting bigger and bigger, Gu Yu'an, such an old man, smiles from ear to ear.

Just because those famous and even somewhat famous people in the village began to compliment him and say good things about him, Gu Yu'an's temper actually began to improve.

Seeing Chen Xuanxuan's elder brother, Chen Daming, coming over, he actually took the initiative to break a chair for him, and took the initiative to pour him a cup of tea, entertaining him warmly.

"Daming, what's wrong with you? You don't even recognize your own sister?"

After being reminded by Gu Yu'an, Chen Daming, who was just immersed in that strange thought, quickly woke up.

"Third sister?"

"Third sister, this is my biological sister, how come I don't know her? I was just shocked just now, I really didn't expect that in such a short time, you've become so fair and tender..."

Gu Yu'an on the side laughed when he heard this, he said happily and proudly, "Hahahahaha, Daming, is there any need to say this? Your third sister is so fair and plump, it's all because of our old men and young masters. Now they have some skills and can make money outside."

"Look at what we cook, eat, use, and wear at home! And the furnishings in this room... They are completely different from what we had before! We were so poor before! We had nothing. People with some education have said that there is nothing left in our house except the four walls..."

"In the past, our family lived a very hard life, especially a few years ago when I was so hungry that I couldn't move. At that time, I was thinking, what will our family do in the future? But I really didn't expect that in just a few short years, our family has lived a good life, with no worries about food and clothing, and no worries about three meals a day. Moreover, we can eat pickled mustard greens every two or three days... Daming, I don't know why every time we eat pork belly, the children in our village run to our door and stare at our pot!"

When Gu Yu'an talked about the past, his face had a feeling of turning over a salted fish.

He was both grateful and proud.

He felt that the reason why his family was able to get rid of the past state was entirely due to the efforts of the old men.

Without these men working hard outside and doing business every day, how could the women in the family live such a good life now?

How could they be fat and white?

In the past, Gu Yu'an always felt that he could not raise his head in front of Chen Daming.

Because the old lady Liu was such a capable woman, and her sons were also raised quite well. They all saw the world.

But the people in his family seemed to be not so good, the old and the young, and the one in the middle could not support himself. There was no real brother or anything.

...

Chen Daming has been a small trader for more than ten years. He has traveled all over the country and dealt with all kinds of people. When he saw his third sister's father-in-law in such a state, he immediately understood that he was showing off.

When poor people suddenly become rich, they usually behave like this.

They want everyone in the world to know that their family is rich, that they are rich, and that they will no longer live such a hard life as before.

Noticing that Gu Yu'an's expression was getting more and more cocky when he spoke, and the words he said were getting more and more frivolous, Chen Daming, who really couldn't stand it, couldn't help but give his sister a look.

Chen Xuanxuan was also a smart person. When he saw this look, he immediately nodded slightly.

Then, he turned around and said to his father-in-law with a serious face, "Father, I still have something cooking in the pot, can you help me keep an eye on it? I'm worried that some mice or thieves will steal our meat..."

The countryside is not rich, and many people have no food to eat. So this has led to some rats in the countryside being poor.

They are very smart.

And they are particularly courageous.

If the poor people sleeping on the ground are not paying attention, they will climb onto the people and then bite the people's flesh vigorously.

As for those who have been hungry for a long time and have no strength in their bodies, when faced with such a situation, they generally don't have much resistance.

So, this has caused some rats, and they are really...not afraid of people at all.

Gu Yu'an also knew that those rats would most likely steal the meat from the house, so he nodded nervously, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything. Just help me entertain your brother! I have to keep an eye on the meat now."

After saying this, he left.

When Chen Daming saw him leave, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Chen Daming has dealt with many people, but he never thought that his third sister's father-in-law, such an "honest man", would really make people feel a little bit uncomfortable once he started to show off.

It's actually very embarrassing for people who have not seen the world to brag.

Because those braggings are not true as soon as you hear them. Moreover, the words he said were very lame and completely untenable.

Just like a person who has just started to eat a full meal.
