The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter
Chapter 11 Delicious Pork Knuckle Rice
"Okay, okay, you two should drink it quickly and then send it to Lianlian." Meng Lan said, waving her hands at them with an impatient look on her face, muttering at the same time.
"If you lose your body and can't have children, you won't be able to get married in the future."
Meng Lan imitated her original body's tone and said some disappointing words, but as a modern person, she did not agree with what she said in her heart.
With her around, she would make sure her granddaughters lived a good life even if they didn't get married. It didn't matter whether they got married or not in this life, what mattered was that they lived a happy life.
Her original body had ruined the happiness of her three daughters, and now she must not ruin the happiness of her three granddaughters.
Meng Lan was also thinking about the three daughters who were still in the fire pit. She thought she had to make a lot of money. Money is a person's courage. With money, she would have the confidence to take her daughters back. When she came, she would definitely save them.
Perhaps it was the difference in thinking between ancient and modern times, but Meng Lan's words felt warm in the ears of the two sisters. Even He Pandi, who always disobeyed men, felt that Meng Lan, as a nurse, cared about them.
Although she thinks that women are not necessarily inferior to men, she also agrees that men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. No matter whether men or women reach a certain age, they should get married.
After hearing what Meng Lan said, the two sisters were very moved. They didn't say anything else. They happily picked up the bowls and drank the brown sugar water. They also swallowed the eggs in a few bites.
At this moment, both of their stomachs were warm and their hearts were even warmer.
After He Zhaodi and He Pandyi finished drinking and eating, they took the bowl of brown sugar water back to the three sisters' room as Meng Lan instructed and went to find He Lianlian.
When the two of them passed by the yard, Yang was so envious of the brown sugar and egg water in their hands. She had always wanted to eat it but couldn't, but she didn't expect these maids to get it so easily.
The three sisters slept in one room and on one bed. When He Zhaodi and her partner came in, He Lianlian was lying on the bed with a weak look on her face. Seeing someone coming, she propped herself up with her arms and looked up. She saw it was He Zhaodi and her partner, and He Zhaodi was holding a bowl in her hand.
"Eldest sister, second sister?" He Lianlian's eyes were full of confusion. She didn't understand what they were doing.
He Zhaodi and He Pandidi explained their purpose to her.
When He Lianlian heard that the brown sugar eggs were specially cooked for her by Meng Lan, she widened her eyes in surprise and asked in disbelief.
"Big sister and second sister, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
"Why would I lie to you? When has my elder sister ever lied to you?" Before He Zhaodi could speak, He Pandi spoke for her, "No matter what grandma thinks, it's a good thing that she loves us granddaughters now."
Although He Pandi didn't understand Meng Lan's thoughts, she would not refuse to eat and drink enough. He Pandi knew that only with a good body could she do what she wanted to do.
After hearing what He Pandyi said, He Lianlian nodded and took the bowl of brown sugar eggs from her.
She drank the brown sugar water that Meng Lan cooked for her and ate the fragrant eggs, but she felt conflicted at the moment and complex emotions welled up in her eyes.
Her mother Jiang and her eldest aunt Tian are also different. Tian and her two sisters have worked hard for so many years without complaint, but that doesn't mean her mother Jiang has no complaints. She has no complaints.
Thinking back to when she was a child, her mother complained to her that after she was born, her grandmother thought she was a girl and was unwilling to give Jiang an egg while she was in confinement.
He Lianlian knew that her mother blamed her grandmother, and she also blamed her grandmother, especially when she saw how much Old Lady Hu next door loved Hu Xianxian, it would be a lie to say that she was not envious and jealous.
She knows that people are different and everyone has their own destiny. But stray cats will also spy on other people's happiness. Although her parents love her, people are always greedy and want more.
But now, He Lianlian found that she couldn't understand her grandmother anymore.
What kind of person was her grandmother Meng Lan? He Lianlian finished a bowl of brown sugar water but still couldn't figure this out, so she simply gave up thinking about it.
If the days to come are all good, then everything in the past should remain in the past. The warmth coming from her stomach made He Lianlian's thoughts a lot calmer.
Maybe people always change, maybe her grandmother's love is more subtle than that of Grandma Hu next door, so they haven't discovered it yet.
I don’t know if it’s because of the brown sugar water or her change in thinking, but He Lianlian felt much more comfortable and had more strength than in the past few days.
When Tian and Jiang came back from washing clothes, He Zhaodi and He Pandidi hurried to help hang up the clothes.
Then Meng Lan called her daughter-in-law and granddaughter to the kitchen to serve rice and cut meat.
Tian and Jiang were also surprised when they entered the kitchen. After Meng Lan opened the lid of the pot, they were even more shocked when they saw the soft and glutinous pork elbows and trotters stewed in the pot.
These big pig elbows and pig trotters are full of meat and oil, and they are very delicious.
In the past, even during the Chinese New Year, their family couldn’t afford to eat such delicious food. Now, during a festive occasion, such delicious food can appear in their home. How can people not be shocked?
"Second wife, take out the pork elbows and trotters and let them cool down first, then cut them into pieces with a knife. Old family, find ten large bowls to hold the rice."
Meng Lan opened her mouth to give an order, and her two daughters-in-law immediately did as she was told.
It was okay for Jiang. After all, she had seen what was in the pot when she came in just now, so she was not that surprised when she took it out.
When Tian opened the lid of the pot, she saw a full pot of steamed rice, which was fine rice. The fragrant aroma of rice rushed into her nose, and Tian almost forgot to take the bowl for a moment.
It took her a while to react. She tremblingly found ten large bowls and almost dropped the bowls. She couldn't hold the spoon steadily when serving the rice. In the end, she filled each bowl with half a bowl of rice.
Because refined rice was expensive, she didn't dare to take too much, so even if it was a full pot of rice, Tian didn't think of it as the amount for a meal.
Meng Lan looked at the amount of rice she had put in and shook her head in dissatisfaction. She took the spoon from Tian's hand and demonstrated to her, "Tian, your serving is not good. It's too little. Follow my example."
No one in my family has a small stomach. With such a small amount of rice, everyone will be starving before the next meal. Who would suffer that when they can have a full meal?
Tian was so shocked by her mother-in-law's generosity that she became numb. She took the spoon from Meng Lan with trembling hands.
Finally, after Jiang had cut the meat and Tian had served the rice, Meng Lan started to distribute the rice directly in the kitchen.
She placed a generous amount of meat on top of the rice in each large bowl, then took out two slices of cabbage and an egg from the pot, and finally poured a spoonful of soup on top.
After repeating this ten times, Meng Lan was almost dizzy from the fragrance.
"Tian, Jiang, Zhaodi, Pandi, please put all these in the main room." Meng Lanyan swallowed and greeted them hurriedly.
There were four people in the first room, three people in the second room, and two people in the third room excluding He Tianci. Together with Meng Lan, there were exactly ten people, so ten bowls of rice were made.
There were five people in total, including Meng Lan, her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. The large bowls needed two hands to carry, so the five of them took two trips to carry all the large bowls to the table in the main hall.
After doing all this, He Zhaodi and He Pandui went to call He Lianlian who was in the room. Yang didn't need anyone to call her to eat. She smelled the food and brought He Guangzu out, looking very impatient.
When Yang saw that they were going to eat big pork elbows, big pig trotters and delicious braised eggs today, her eyes almost stuck to the bowl.
She rubbed her hands, sat down obediently, and looked eagerly at the big bowl of rice in front of her. She had never been so eager to see her elder and second brothers come back so that she could have dinner when everyone was together.
After a while, the two brothers He Chuanzong and He Chuanjia also came back from the fields. Smelling the fragrance coming from the main room, the two brothers went to the water tank and quickly scooped a bucket of water to wash the mud off their hands. Their steps were also much faster than usual.
The two of them hurriedly walked to the main room and sat down, and saw a big bowl of pork elbow rice in front of them. He Chuanzong swallowed his saliva and He Chuanjia licked his cracked lips. It seemed that the two brothers were also very greedy.
Seeing that everyone was there, Meng Lan finally didn't have to suppress her restless stomach anymore.
She picked up the chopsticks, picked up a large piece of meat and put it into her mouth, chewing it hard. It smelled so good!
With Meng Lan taking the lead, everyone who had been impatient for a long time also picked up their chopsticks and started eating from the big bowls in front of them. Yang was even more eager to eat, looking as if she hadn't eaten for 800 years.
Meng Lan was the only one in the room who still had some manners. Everyone else looked like they were starving to death. They finished a whole bowl of pork elbow, pig's trotter, braised egg, cabbage and rice in just a few bites.
"Hiccup~"
After the eldest brother He Chuanzong finished eating, he couldn't help but burped. His dark face turned red and he lowered his head in embarrassment.
He was happy but also extremely scared. These past few days he always felt that his mother's change was like a dream. When he woke up from the dream, his mother would change back to the way she was before, and he would be left with nothing.
But each meal was fuller and better than the last, and the feeling of fullness in his stomach made He Chuanzong feel at ease.
He thought that if he could live like this every day in the future, he would have no regrets in his life except for not having a son.
Meng Lan was happy watching the children eating with relish. After she had finished all the rice in her bowl, she would talk to her family about her future plans at the dinner table.
"Is the meal delicious today?" Meng Lan asked everyone first.
Although no one knew why Meng Lan asked this, everyone still answered her question politely. For a while, the sound of "delicious" and "so delicious" echoed throughout the hall.
