Chapter 96: It feels like there's a lot less food.



Fan Xiaohua had already severed ties with the Fan family.

But every family loves their child, and besides, the family is already better off.

The three sons would bring the game they hunted to their parents.

Mother Fan then thought of helping her daughter out.

Although this girl is a bit infuriating, she is, after all, my own flesh and blood.

Yu Erzhu's family were all bachelors and extremely poor, so they had nothing of value to give their daughter.

So when Fan Xiaohua was about to give birth, he took some things to visit her.

At first, Fan Xiaohua's nose and eyes didn't look like noses or eyes.

Upon seeing what Fan's mother had taken, he changed his mind.

He not only welcomed her into the house with a smile, but also invited her to stay for dinner.

What should we eat?

It was all wild vegetables; there wasn't a single grain of rice.

Upon seeing the meal, Fan's mother burst into tears.

Actually, Fan Xiaohua did it on purpose; her family wasn't that poor.

Ever since she went back with Yu Erzhu while pregnant, Yu Erzhu has been trying every means to prepare food for her.

Even a lot of wasteland has been cleared.

He was afraid there wouldn't be enough food for his wife and children to eat.

After returning home, Fan's mother tearfully told Fan's father about the incident.

Mr. Fan felt bad, so when Mrs. Fan gave things from home to Fan Xiaohua, she didn't say anything.

Seeing that her father didn't say anything to her, Fan's mother was so happy that she wanted to give all the things in the house to Fan Xiaohua.

He took meticulous care of her during her postpartum period.

Fan Xiaohua gave birth to a daughter for Yu Erzhu.

Although it was a girl, Yu Erzhu did not look down on her.

They treat it like a rare treasure.

This is the first child in the Yu family; there will be a second, a third, and a fourth.

In order to have more children, Yu Erzhu was completely obedient to Fan Xiaohua.

She gets all the good stuff.

They were pleased to see Fan's mother come to take care of Fan Xiaohua during her postpartum period.

Later, Fan Xiaohua started visiting the Fan family.

This infuriated the two sisters-in-law.

All the gifts they gave as filial piety ended up in Fan Xiaohua's stomach; who would be happy about that?

Fan Xiaohua doesn't care about them at all; she always looks down on them whenever she sees them.

Zhang Xing cursed them, saying that the gifts they gave to the two elders as filial piety had been wasted on the dogs.

Meanwhile, after Yun Xiaoxiao and the others finished digging the cellar, she called Yuan Shitou to go to the river to collect pebbles.

To prevent the cellar from getting damp, she decided to lay a layer of stones and then plaster the inside with ash.

This way, you won't have to worry about the grain getting damp.

After doing all that, Yun Xiaoxiao started causing trouble.

We're going to eat wild boar meat soon, and then he'll have to go herd the cattle himself.

Anyway, it's just a matter of passing the time in various ways.

Although Yuan Shitou sensed something was wrong, he didn't dare to ask.

I had no choice but to do whatever he was told.

Yuan's father was the same, constantly being ostracized by Yuan's mother.

The father and son knew that this was an attempt to get them out of the house, as they had something to do.

But if they don't let us know, then we don't know.

Two days later, Yuan Shitou couldn't help but ask Gou Dan, "Gou Dan, what are your grandma and aunt doing at home?"

Dog Egg shook his head: "I don't know."

"You're home every day, how could you not know?"

Yuan Shitou didn't believe he didn't know.

Gou Dan said in a very serious tone, "My name is Yuan Ping'an, you are not allowed to call me Gou Dan."

Yuan Shitou was amused by his appearance: "If you tell me what your aunts and uncles do at home, I will call you Ping An from now on, instead of Gou Dan."

Gou Dan, also known as Yuan Ping'an, is almost five years old now.

Yun Xiaoxiao called him Gou Dan (Dog Egg) his nickname, so she gave him a formal name, Yuan Ping'an.

Seeing that his uncle was about to ask more questions, Yuan Ping'an cried out, "Auntie, Uncle... Waaaaah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yuan Shitou tightly covered his mouth.

Yuan Shitou looked around the house like a thief, and seeing that no one came out.

He picked Yuan Ping'an up in one swift motion and ran outside.

I just wanted to teach this brat a lesson, but I ended up being threatened instead.

"I'm going to tell my aunt that you bullied me, and I'll make sure she doesn't marry you."

Yuan Shitou was amused by his childish appearance: "A little kid like you, how dare you threaten me?"

Yuan Ping'an tilted his head back: "So what? It works great, doesn't it?"

Yuan Shitou was somewhat speechless; it was indeed very effective.

Even a three-year-old knows his weakness.

But what can we do?

He can't change, and he doesn't want to change.

Just then, Yun Xiaoxiao's voice came from inside the house: "Ping An, Ping An, where did you go?"

Yuan Shitou quickly let go of him and said ingratiatingly, "Little ancestor, please don't tell your aunt."

"Uncle, I won't ask anymore, okay?"

Yuan Ping'an gave Yuan Shitou a look that said, "You're smart to know what's good for you," and then went inside.

Yuan Shitou was both annoyed and amused. He shook his head and went inside.

Yun Xiaoxiao sat on a low stool, letting Yuan Ping'an massage her shoulders.

Yuan Shitou stepped forward, intending to offer to do the kneading, but Yun Xiaoxiao sent him off to cook.

It took Yun Xiaoxiao and Yuan's mother several days to finish the other cellar.

Thinking back to the period dramas I used to watch, I remember seeing things with hidden mechanisms and secret compartments.

Then they rummaged around in the two cellars for a while, digging several small holes.

It's perfect for hiding small items.

The cellar has been dug, but it's drying rather slowly.

Yun Xiaoxiao also asked Yuan Shitou to light a fire inside, so that it would be faster.

She also lit a fire in another one.

They burned the grain for several days until it was completely dry before they and Yuan Shitou carried it downstairs.

Before they moved, she and Yuan's mother had moved some things to the small cellar.

Yuan Shitou noticed something was wrong while moving the grain; it seemed like a lot of grain was missing.

Yuan's mother scolded him: "You don't cook, how would you know how much grain we have left?"

Even if you eat from a bowl, no amount of grain would be enough for you.

"If I hadn't been so careful with my spending, you probably would have eaten it all."

They scolded Yuan Shitou so badly that he shrank back and dared not say another word.

However, I still had some doubts.

Although he ate a lot, he still knew roughly how much grain his family had.

Seeing Xiaoxiao looking at him with a warning expression, he quickly put his questions aside.

Yun Xiaoxiao had no intention of letting him off so easily, and said in a sinister tone, "Do you want to tell others about this?"

"Your fiancée has a huge appetite and has eaten all the food in the house?"

Yuan Shitou shook his head vigorously, like a rattle drum: "Xiaoxiao, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense."

Besides, you didn't eat much at all.

You didn't see the others'; they were really using basins to hold it.

Yun Xiaoxiao snorted and turned to go inside.

Yuan Shitou wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at his father, who had remained silent.

Yuan's father gave him a wink, and the two of them quietly moved aside.

Mr. Yuan said with certainty, "They must have done something behind our backs."

Yuan Shitou glanced into the inner room and said in a low voice, "Father, I feel that the grain supply has really decreased a lot."

"Where is it missing? It was all eaten by you."

You eat so much at every meal.

Mr. Yuan and Yuan Shitou looked in the direction of the sound and were startled. When did Gou Dan arrive? How come they didn't know?
