It seems the islanders have pretty good purchasing power!
Most importantly, soldiers' salaries are not low, and since people didn't have anywhere to buy things before, they'll probably engage in a spending spree once they can.
She could already foresee what the scene would be like when the store opened.
Xiang Wanwan carried the chicks home. As soon as she entered the yard, Wu Ma, who was holding Lu Chen, came out.
"What is this in Madam's pocket?"
She took a few steps forward and her eyes lit up when she saw the chicks in her pocket.
"These chicks are good; their feathers are bright and they're very lively."
"We ran out of chickens at home, didn't we? Aunt Hu is good at hatching chicks, so I bought her some."
Xiang Wanwan put the chicks into the chicken coop. There was only one chicken left in the coop before, but as soon as the chicks were put in, they immediately followed the rooster around.
After putting it down, she turned around and took Lu Chen from Wu Ma's arms.
"Son, do you miss your mother?"
As if understanding, the little one grabbed Xiang Wanwan's finger with his little hand, his eyes crinkling into a wide smile.
Aunt Wu: "Our Chenchen is so smart, he understood what his mother said."
Xiang Wanwan played with the little one for a while longer, then Wu Ma took him inside to sleep.
As soon as Aunt Wu went in, Lu Yaqin arrived.
"sister in law!"
"Yaqin's here. Didn't you come to work today?"
She's a nurse, so she should be on duty at the hospital right now. Why is she at home?
"I was at work when Feng said he wasn't feeling well, so I came back to check on him."
"Sister-in-law, are these the chicks you just bought?" Lu Yaqin asked, looking at the chicks that had just been put into the chicken coop.
"Yes, I just got it back."
Lu Yaqin wandered around the yard, looking at the grapes, the rabbits, and the vegetables.
Xiang Wanwan watched her behavior and thought to herself.
Is someone here to ask for something?
After she finished looking at it, she sat down in the pavilion and slowly asked, "Sister-in-law, can I have that chicken in the chicken coop?"
"I think that rabbit looks pretty good, I'll take one!"
"I'll also pick some vegetables from the field and take them home."
Xiang Wanwan smiled.
What do you mean Ning Feng isn't feeling well? It's probably because Ning Feng didn't have anything to eat at home, so she came to our house to ask for some!
He was a grown man with no job, and once he arrived on the island, he could only rely on Lu Yaqin for support.
Is this blatantly living off a woman?
Although she really wanted to refuse, she was, after all, Lu Jingnian's cousin, and her mother-in-law had specifically written a letter asking her to take good care of her.
Although she really didn't want to give Ning Feng the benefit, Yaqin still needed to eat.
"Yaqin, that rabbit is being kept to have babies. You can take the chicken. Pick the vegetables from the garden yourself!"
"Okay! Thank you, sister-in-law."
With permission, Lu Yaqin immediately went into the chicken coop to catch chickens.
But after all, she was the pampered young lady of the Lu family, and when had she ever done such rough work? Her busy work startled the chicks that had just been put in, causing them to chirp and squawk, and the rooster was also frightened and ran out of the yard.
After putting Lu Chen to sleep, Wu Ma heard a commotion in the yard and immediately ran out to see what was going on.
"Oh dear, my lady, why are you chasing after a chicken?"
"Aunt Wu, quickly help me catch a chicken, I want to take it home and stew it."
Upon hearing this, Aunt Wu immediately busied herself catching chickens.
After a long struggle, the two finally caught the chicken. Lu Yaqin was covered in sweat and her hair was a mess.
Wu Ma was also panting heavily from exhaustion.
After chasing the chickens, she went to the vegetable garden to pick vegetables, including chives, cabbage, radishes, and peppers.
In the end, it was Wu Ma who found her a large bag so that she could put all these things in.
"Sister-in-law, I'm leaving now. I'll come back in a few days."
Xiang Wanwan pouted at Wu Ma.
Please don't come again!
If they come a few more times, her house will be completely emptied!
No, she'll have a good talk with Lu Jingnian when he gets back. It would be fine if it were just her cousin, but using her things to support Ning Feng for nothing is unacceptable. (This chapter has been read. Please click the next chapter to continue reading!)
