The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter

"what?"

Meng Chuncao's sudden words left Meng Lan confused for a moment.

Why did she ask such a question out of the blue? She didn't want to do anything, just entertained her granddaughter's friends, why did the old lady next door look like she was facing a great enemy? It was really strange.

Seeing Meng Lan's innocent and confused look, Meng Chuncao thought she was pretending, and became even angrier.

She has known Meng Lan for so many years, how could she not know Meng Lan?

It is clear that before they got married, when they were still in Mengjia Village, they were considered very good...partners.

Meng Chuncao recalled when she first met Meng Lan, Meng Lan did not have a younger brother Baogen at that time. Although Meng Lan's parents sighed all day long and tried hard to have a son, the two sisters still had food to eat and clothes to wear.

Ever since Meng Baogen was born into Meng Lan's family, the three sisters of the Meng family have been living a life without enough food to eat and warm clothes to wear.

At that time, she would always secretly bring food to Meng Lan, but Meng Lan was always reluctant to eat it alone and would save some for her two younger sisters when she got home.

Meng Lan hated being called Meng Lanmei, so she called herself Meng Lan. Lan means orchid, not Lan as in Lanmei. She also said Meimei does not mean having no sister, Mei means plum blossom, so she called Meng Meimei Mengmei. Yaomei does not mean a sister who died young, Yao means the youngest, so she called Meng Yaomei Xiaomei.

At that time, Meng Lan always said that she wanted to marry a hard-working, down-to-earth man, and that they could live a good life together. She also wanted to help her two younger sisters find reliable men.

Later, Meng Lan went to work for a family in the town and met He Laoliu, the youngest of the six sons in the He family.

Although He Laoliu was a late-born son, his parents were too old to take care of the family, so they separated the family early on, and the old couple lived with He Laoda.

He Laoliu was given a piece of land and a few bags of grain and then left.

Although He Laoliu has nothing, Meng Lan likes him. Although He Laoliu has nothing now, he is down-to-earth and hardworking, and he will live a good life one day.

He Laoliu also liked the original body. Meng Lan's family asked for a high dowry, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. He went to the town to work for a year, saved on food and drink, and not only built several large thatched houses, but also saved enough dowry for Meng Lan's parents. In the end, he married Meng Lan as he wished.

Thinking of this, Meng Chuncao looked a little dazed. Was Meng Lan happy at that time?

When did it change? Probably after He Laoliu died.

She remembered that after He Laoliu died, Meng Lan changed. She became exactly like her biological mother, mean and harsh, harsh to her daughter and granddaughter, and only loved her youngest son and eldest grandson.

Even after that, every time Meng Lan looked at her, there was an inexplicable hatred in her eyes. Meng Chuncao couldn't say what this feeling was, but she eventually distanced herself from Meng Lan.

The sisters who used to be good friends before getting married have long become strangers.

Meng Chuncao saw that Meng Lan's eyes were still full of confusion and she was hesitant to speak. She couldn't help but be stunned. She wondered if she was overreacting? Did she think too badly of Meng Lan?

"Meng Lan, I, I don't mean anything else. I just want to ask you why you gave the meat to Xianxian and the others. Do you know that meat is very expensive?"

The two had not spoken to each other for many years. Meng Chuncao had rushed over because she was emotional just now. Now that she had calmed down, she realized that her behavior was a bit rash. She felt embarrassed and even her speech became halting.

"That's what you're talking about."

Meng Lan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Meng Chuncao's explanation. She thought it was something else, so she explained.

"My family is making food to sell in town recently, so it's okay to give some to the children."

"You're going to town to sell food?"

Meng Chuncao was a little surprised, and the bowl of rosy pork elbow rice that Hu Xianxian had just brought back suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

"Yes, I want to make money. As my children grow up, there are more places to spend money," said Meng Lan.

"Aren't He Tianci and He Guangzu the only ones spending money in your family?"

Meng Chuncao was so shocked that she blurted out what was really in her mind without realizing it.

After she finished speaking, she felt embarrassed again. Although Meng Lan was partial to her, she had never said anything directly to her face. Now that she said it directly, would Meng Lan scold her on the spot?

Over the years, Meng Chuncao has heard Meng Lan scolding others many times.

So Meng Chuncao carefully raised his head and took a look at Meng Lan's face, which turned out to be normal.

"That's all in the past. I dreamt about Chuanzong's father a few days ago, and he blamed me for being partial. We are all human beings, and we can't be partial to one over the other. Our family has done its best to support Tianci's studies for so many years, but he still can't make a name for himself. That's his fate. We can't let his two brothers suffer because of this."

Meng Lan told Meng Chuncao the same explanation she had given to the children at the beginning.

Meng Chuncao was one of the people who knew her quite well. Since she had noticed her changes, she would give Meng Chuncao a reasonable explanation.

When Meng Chuncao heard Meng Lan's words, she was so surprised that her eyes almost popped out of their sockets, and then her eyes turned red.

She seemed to have just seen... the Meng Lan of the past.

Strong, stubborn, and never give up.

Meng Chuncao sighed deeply and said with emotion, "After so many years, you finally figured it out. It's not too late..."

As if infected by Meng Chuncao's emotions, Meng Lan was also touched and she echoed Meng Chuncao's words.

"Yes, I've figured it out. It's better for my family to live a good life than anything else. I only realized how much I went wrong in the past when I got older. Fortunately, it's not too late now and there is still a chance to make amends."

To others, Meng Lan's words sounded like she was reflecting on her own first half of life, but in fact, Meng Lan was criticizing her original self.

"Lanlan, it's never too late to think like this!"

Seeing that Meng Lan had really figured it out, Meng Chuncao was also happy from the bottom of her heart. She held Meng Lan's hand, just as intimately as they had been before they got married.

The little sisters finally became old sisters.

Meng Chuncao looked at the fine lines at the corners of Meng Lan's eyes and realized the passage of time. When he thought of his own cold-eyed indifference over the years, he felt more and more guilty.

She didn't know what happened to her or what she had done over the years.

Why...why can't she help Meng Lan?

She was a woman whose husband had died and she had six children, but no one was there to help her. Meng Chuncao couldn't understand why she had been so cold and cruel for so many years.

Even if Meng Lan intended to distance herself from her, how could she conclude that Meng Lan was not a good person based on those few looks?

Meng Chuncao really couldn't figure it out, so she simply stopped thinking about it. She always felt happy about Meng Lan's transformation, as if she had regained what she had lost.

"Lanlan, even if you think it through and plan to live a good life, you can't be so generous! That's pork, how can you just give it to other people to eat?"

There was a hint of complaint in Meng Chuncao's tone.

As soon as she thought of the big bowl of pork elbow rice that Hu Xianxian brought back, she knew that the three children must have eaten a lot when they were at the He family before.

The He family's life is much harder than theirs, how can they take advantage of them?

Meng Lan must have been stimulated by something. She used to be extremely stingy, but now she is so generous that she treats pork as if it is free.

How can we live like this? So Meng Chuncao was thinking about how to make it up to Meng Lan.

"They are my own children. How can I go bankrupt if they just eat and drink a little? I have a way to buy pork. If I sell it in town, I can make a lot of money."

When Meng Lan listened to Meng Chuncao's words, she knew that the grudge between them for so many years was basically resolved.

Thinking of the small bag of chestnuts Hu Xianxian gave her, Meng Lan's mind immediately became active, she said.

"Sister Chuncao, I have thought of another way to make money. It is all thanks to your Xianxian."
