The person looking inside at the gate was He Laowu’s youngest son He Fengshou.

As soon as He Jinliang saw He Fengshou, he instantly turned into a furry cat. He Jinliang stared at He Fengshou's face vigilantly and asked him in a calm voice.

"Uncle Fengshou, what are you doing here?"

He Fengshou did not notice He Jinliang's hostility towards him. Seeing that he was a relative from the same clan and a younger child, he greeted He Jinliang cheerfully and explained the purpose of his visit.

"Jin Liang, I came to see Aunt Liu and wanted to ask her about her craft."

After hearing what He Fengshou said, He Jinliang showed an expression of "as expected" on his face.

He stood there like a wooden stake, blocking the door of Meng Lan's house tightly, leaving no way for He Fengshou to enter.

He Jinliang felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. Uncle Fengshou was here to steal his business! This really made him sweat profusely.

Although he had not received much education, he still understood the principle that things are valuable because they are scarce.

He Fengshou looked at He Jinliang's puzzled expression and stood there in confusion. He was really in a dilemma.

What's going on with the village chief's eldest grandson right now?

Weren't we chatting just now? Why did it suddenly become like this?

The two of them stood in a stalemate at the gate of Meng Lan's house for a long time, until Meng Lan finished her meal and went to the yard to find He Jinliang, only to find He Fengshou standing outside the gate.

"Jin Liang, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Meng Lan looked at He Jinliang's back as he stood at the door, and asked as she walked. When she got closer, she saw that there was another person standing outside her door. It was He Fengshou, her nephew.

"Why is Fengshou here?" Meng Lan asked He Fengshou after walking to the door.

He Fengshou scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "Sixth Aunt, I want to ask you about your craft."

He was tempted because he could make money. Although his family and Sixth Aunt's family had not interacted much in recent years, they were from the same village and were still relatives. Sixth Aunt would not cheat him.

When Meng Lan heard this, she immediately became enthusiastic and pushed away He Jinliang who was blocking the door.

"Fengshou, come in quickly, come in and tell me, kid, why are you so awkward at your sixth aunt's house? What are you doing standing outside all the time?"

"Sixth Grandma, I also want to learn a craft, and I have already paid the tuition."

When He Jinliang heard this, he was afraid that the opportunity to learn the craft would be snatched away by He Fengshou, so he hurried to the other side of Meng Lan to remind her.

The dishes cooked by Sixth Grandma are so delicious that even if you don’t sell them, they are great to eat at home.

Moreover, his grandfather always said that it is always good to have many skills, and if you have a skill, you will never starve no matter where you go.

It's just that he really doesn't like the craft of making bricks and tiles at home. It would be better if he could be a cook. It's a pity that his family doesn't have the money to open a restaurant for him. Now it's not bad to have such an opportunity.

Only then did He Fengshou understand why He Jinliang had been blocking the door.

He couldn't help but feel a little amused, but he wasn't angry. He was too old to be angry with a child. And since his sixth aunt said that in the afternoon, she would definitely not teach only one person.

Now it seems that only he and He Jinliang came to ask about the craft. There are not many people, which is a good thing.

Meng Lan is a widow, so He Laowu and his two sons are all widowers.

He Laowu, the fifth brother of Meng Lan's husband He Laoliu, died of complications from hemorrhage during childbirth of He Fengshou.

So for so many years, He Laowu has been both a father and a mother to raise his two sons. He Fengshou's eldest brother was originally a normal person, but when he was young, he broke his leg in the mountains and became paralyzed in bed. He needed someone to take care of him, not to mention getting married and having children.

Seeing that his eldest son was like this, He Laowu thought that no girl would be willing to marry him. Thinking that the family line must not be cut off, he wanted to find a wife for his younger son, He Fengshou.

Given his family's situation, even if He Fengshou was a normal person, the fact that he had an elderly father and a disabled brother had already caused many people who wanted to marry their daughters to exclude He Fengshou from the list.

In the end, He Laowu had to empty his family's savings to find a new wife for He Fengshou.

In the second year after the new daughter-in-law got married, she gave birth to a son for He Fengshou. However, when the child was two years old, it was discovered that he was a little different from normal children.

When the child was three years old, he still couldn't speak and was smaller than other children of the same age.

This child is not only mentally retarded, but also physically weak and has to take medicine almost all year round.

He Fengshou not only had to pay for his children's medicine, but also had to take care of his paralyzed brother in bed. The family had always lived in poverty. He Laowu was also old and could not help much.

So, when the child was four years old, He Fengshou's wife's family came and took their daughter back and married her to someone else.

Now He Fengshou is the only one supporting three people in his family. His father He Laowu is old and in poor health and needs to take medicine. His brother has a broken leg and is paralyzed in bed and needs to apply medicine every now and then. His stupid son is in poor health and also needs to take medicine all year round.

The food rations for these people in the family alone are quite a lot, not to mention the money for their medicine.

Years of excessive labor have also made He Fengshou look older than his peers.

He Fengshou felt that his back and legs had been getting worse over the years, so he wanted to find something else to do, preferably to earn more money.

So when Meng Lan mentioned it in the afternoon, he started to think about it. When he divided the wild boar, he did not ask for pork, but sausages, because he thought that sausages should be seasoned with salt and tasted salty, so he could eat them sparingly and slowly.

Meng Lan took He Fengshou and He Jinliang to the main hall and sat down.

"Xiuqing, go and pour two bowls of sugar water." Meng Lan started to order her daughter-in-law around. She had been getting more and more comfortable in giving orders to Yang recently.

"Okay." After hearing what Meng Lan said, Yang smiled attentively.

The mother-in-law is the pillar of this family, she has to hold on to her. As for men... where is the smell of meat?

Before the marriage, He Tianci's appearance had fascinated her to no end, but after the marriage, Yang felt that it was just like that. Men are probably all the same when the lights are turned off.

He Guangzu was already so old, and she was no longer a young girl in love, so her thoughts on He Tianci were naturally much simpler. The couple could spend the night together, covered under the same quilt, just chatting.

The fading of one desire is inevitably accompanied by the rise of another.

Yang's appetite has increased greatly now, and Meng Lan, the person who can give her meat, is more kind to her than anyone else these days.

Yang swiftly brought up two bowls of brown sugar water.

Meng Lan looked at the bowl of red water and couldn't help but twitch her lips slightly. She remembered that she should have said "sugar water", not "brown sugar water". Was her daughter-in-law really addicted to drinking brown sugar water?

Okay, brown sugar and white sugar are both sugar, they both taste sweet, and the difference is... not that big, just drink it like that.

She saw that her nephew He Fengshou didn't look very well, so it was a good opportunity for him to drink some brown sugar to replenish his body.

He Jinliang and He Fengshou looked at the brown sugar water in front of them, sniffed, smelled the aroma of brown sugar, and simultaneously concealed the shock in their eyes.

Their God, God, when did Sixth Grandma/Sixth Aunt’s family become so rich.

Drinking brown sugar in sweet soup, is that so luxurious?

She must have made a lot of money before, right? Otherwise, why would she be willing to treat them with brown sugar water?

Thinking of this, the two men's eyes suddenly became hot when they looked at Meng Lan.
