Chapter 380 Ancient Village Old Lady 5
The next day, the families officially began to live separately.
In the morning, the Dafang family got up early and started working in the kitchen.
Feng Erya is old and a light sleeper, and the slightest noise can wake her up.
She was woken up immediately by the commotion in the kitchen over at the eldest wife's house.
But she didn't get up. She lay on the bed and dispersed her spiritual consciousness.
It took me a while to figure out that the eldest daughter was fiddling with the lunch boxes.
It looks like they have been preparing for a long time, and they have prepared a lot of wooden lunch boxes.
According to what the eldest couple said, they are planning to do business at the county dock.
There is a wharf in the county, not a big one, but most of the merchants in the county usually go through the wharf to transport goods, unless it is the flood season.
The lunch box business is at the dock, and as long as the price is reasonable, you should be able to make some money.
But business probably won't be very good.
Most of the coolies who come out to do the hard work are reluctant to buy lunch boxes at noon.
The whole family at home is relying on this money to make ends meet, so most of them will just make do with a simple meal at noon and then have something a little better at night to improve their lives.
After a while, the second and third wives also got up.
The situation with the second and third rooms was completely different. After getting up, the two heads of the room were packing up their things secretly, but they were very careful, as if they were afraid of being discovered.
After all this trouble, Feng Erya couldn't lie still anymore.
She got up from the bed, combed her hair, and then walked out of the room slowly.
The second and third wives felt a little embarrassed when they saw Feng Erya come out.
The two daughters-in-law found excuses to hide in the room, while the second and third daughters looked embarrassed, as if they had been caught doing something bad.
Wan Gui looked at Feng Erya with a smile on his face: "Mom, you're up. Did you sleep well last night?"
Feng Erya found it a little funny.
The property was divided yesterday. As an old lady, she has no right to care where they want to live. She made such a fuss because she is afraid that she will become dependent on them.
Feng Erya pretended not to notice their unnatural expressions and just went about washing her face with water.
"I slept well. You all got up quite early today. Are you cleaning the house?
It seems that the division of the family was the right decision. As soon as the division began, you all knew that you had to live a good life.
It's good to tidy up the house and plan the room properly."
Wan Gui and Wan Xi looked even more embarrassed, not knowing how to respond to Feng Erya.
Feng Erya was washing her face while the two brothers were arguing with each other.
Feng Erya pretended not to notice anything. After washing her face, she splashed the water into the vegetable garden, turned around and went back into the house.
Wan Gui and Wan Xi looked at each other, pushed and shoved each other from behind, and finally followed into the house reluctantly.
Feng Erya looked at the two of them in pretended surprise.
"What's wrong? Are you two brothers having problems? If you have problems, just tell me. You're so old, why are you acting so strangely?"
In the end, Wan Gui was the first to speak.
"Mom, my family and I have rented a house in town and we want to move there.
I want to send my children to learn a skill while they are still young.
If you need anything later, please send someone to come to town to find me."
After saying this, Wan Gui lowered his head in shame.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this house could not have been rented after the family division.
It was already dark after we divided the house yesterday, so I didn’t have time to rent a house in town.
But what my wife and son said last night makes sense. If we get to town earlier, we can start making money earlier.
But if you tell me this now, I will definitely know that you have wanted to move out for a long time.
Although they don't want me to follow their family, they are afraid that I will be a drag on them.
But if this matter were made public, he would still feel his face burning, as if it were being roasted by fire.
After Wan Xi heard what Wang Gui had said, he quickly followed up, "Mom, I found a job as a waiter in town. I want to earn some extra money while I'm still young so I can send my kids to school in two years. We're also planning to move out today."
Wan Gui and Wan Xi only found out that the other party was also going to live in the town when they saw each other packing up this morning.
They were both a little surprised, wondering where the other's money came from and how they found the money.
However, thinking that it was more important to move out of this house now, and that it would not be too late to inquire about the future matters when they got to the town, the two of them did not investigate further for the time being.
Feng Erya's face was full of joy, as if she didn't expect that after the family split up last night, they could find a good place for her early this morning. How abnormal was that?
"This is a good thing. My two sons have made great progress. Since they can live in the town, why do they have to be trapped in our small village?
Second brother, since you want your child to learn a craft, then go.
Since you are learning, study hard. None of the children in our family are stupid and can learn anything well.
Third brother, you should learn more when you go to work. Don't take being a waiter in a restaurant lightly, there's a lot to learn.
If you could learn a few more words, maybe you could become a shopkeeper in the future.
If you save more money and open your own store, you won’t have to worry about your life in the future.
You have all grown up and have become successful.
Don't worry, I'm fine in the village. If anything happens, I'll ask someone to find you in town.
If your father knew how successful you are now, he would probably be very happy for you."
Feng Erya thought to herself, hurry up and leave, you guys are delaying my cooking, do you know that?
In the original plot, they did not split up into families this time, and the time-traveling girls would have various gains in the mountains later.
During this period, several families accumulated small funds, and when they talked about dividing the family property next time, they would all buy houses and shops and directly establish properties in the town and county.
Now that the family has split up early, the period of early capital accumulation is gone, and several time-traveling girls have become estranged from their families. I don’t know what they can do this time.
Although Wan Gui and Wan Xi felt that Feng Erya shouldn't have accepted their move out so calmly, the fact that she didn't lose her temper or curse at them was better than anything else.
Even if I get angry later, they won't be able to see it, and it will be fine after a while.
A mother would never be angry with her own son for too long.
Wan Gui: "Mother, you are so understanding. I was afraid you would disagree.
Don't worry, I've already made inquiries and have found good masters. When the children learn the skills, I will ask them to be filial to you, their grandmother."
Wan Xi usually looks honest, but when he heard his second brother say this, he followed suit.
In fact, Wan Xi is just an old scoundrel.
It was like this when he was a child. No matter what happened, he would always follow behind the eldest and second oldest brothers, so that when he was beaten, there was always someone in front to support him.
He has been doing this since he was a child, and it has become a habit for him.
