The old woman became rich by relying on the supermarket instead of selling her granddaughter
Chapter 7 Going to town
At dawn the next day, Meng Lan saw that Yang had not yet gotten up, so she rushed in, pulled her out of bed, and asked her to cook for the whole family.
Anyway, there is nothing but old rice and coarse noodles at home, and there is no valuable food for Yang to waste. Even if her cooking skills are not good, as long as the food is cooked, it will be fine.
Meng Lan has the final say on how much rice to put in the meal, while Yang is responsible for lighting the fire and cooking.
After taking the rice and was about to lock the room where the grain was stored, Meng Lan caught a glimpse of He Zhaodi, whose face was sallow, feeding the chickens.
The hand that was locking the door paused for a moment, and she went in again, took out four eggs, and went into the kitchen, where she found a small pot and put water in it to boil. Yang, who was cooking at the side, was drooling.
After the meal was ready, Meng Lan started to distribute it. Yang had behaved well today, so she did not treat her differently like she did yesterday.
After distributing the food, Meng Lan noticed that everyone at the table couldn't help but look at the four eggs in her hand. Meng Lan didn't hesitate and gave one to each of her three granddaughters and one grandson.
He Guangzu was used to it. After all, he was the only one in this family who could eat eggs regularly.
He Zhaodi, He Pandi, and He Lianlian were flattered. They were already satisfied with just a bowl of rice, but today their grandmother even gave them eggs? This was something they had never seen before.
The three girls looked at each other, and none of them dared to touch the eggs in front of them. Seeing their cautious appearance, Meng Lan felt distressed and blamed herself.
"Eat them all. They are my granddaughters and grandsons. It's not like our family can't afford eggs."
Meng Lan raised her head and said something to the three maids, then went on to speak to the older ones.
"When the family has money in the future, everyone will be able to eat eggs. The children are growing now, so give them eggs first."
Meng Lan gave the order and everyone started eating without delay. He Guangzu ate the egg in a few bites just like before.
He Lianlian from the second room did not eat the egg in a hurry after getting it. She came close to her mother Jiang and whispered something to her. Jiang glared at her for several times before she retreated obediently and started eating the egg in small bites.
Tian's second daughter, He Pandi, took the egg and wanted to give it to Tian, "Mother, I don't crave eggs, you eat it."
The response she got was Tian's shaking head. She looked at He Panddy with a smile, but said.
"Mom doesn't like eggs, Pan Di, eat it quickly."
He Pandi is also stubborn, but she is not stupid. Does her mother still treat her like a three-year-old child?
After being rejected by Tian, He Pandi broke the peeled egg into two halves without saying a word, ate half herself, and threw the rest into Tian's bowl. This scared Tian very much.
Only He Zhaodi noticed that all the grandchildren had eggs to eat, but Meng Lan herself was reluctant to eat them.
Her grandmother was a sharp-tongued old lady with a soft heart. She had been clamoring to sell her a few days ago, and today she gave eggs to the girls. He Zhaodi thought to herself that her grandmother was reluctant to sell her.
Meng Lan didn't know what He Zhaodi was thinking. She just saw her eldest granddaughter staring at her. Then He Zhaodi got up from the stool, walked to her with a peeled egg in her hand, and said softly.
"Grandma, I'm older now and don't need to eat eggs. You should eat them. They will nourish my body."
Meng Lan looked at the serious look in He Zhaodi's eyes and felt warm in her heart, but she instantly felt sad and ashamed.
This silly child is only eleven years old this year. He is in the growing period. Why doesn’t he need to eat eggs?
At the same time, Meng Lan thought that her original body wanted to sell He Zhaodi a few days ago. If she had not arrived in time, He Zhaodi would probably have been sold by now.
Even in this situation, the child still wanted to give the eggs to her. How could she not feel ashamed?
"Alright, alright, eat it if I tell you to. If you don't want to eat it, feed it to the dog!"
On the second day after traveling through the book, Meng Lan not only learned the tone of her original self, but also learned to use anger to cover up her embarrassment.
I have to say that this trick is sometimes quite useful. When He Zhaodi saw her grandma was angry, she was even more touched. She couldn't persuade her elders, so she had to take the eggs and return to her seat obediently.
When Tian saw her bring the eggs back intact, she felt a little disappointed and whispered to her, "Zhao Di, be nicer to your grandmother in the future."
"Mom, I know." He Zhaodi nodded. She knew it in her heart without her mother telling her.
Her grandmother did not sell her and even gave her eggs to eat. Where could she find such good milk in the world? Of course she would be very filial to her grandmother.
After another full meal, the He Chuanzong brothers went to work in the fields. Although today seemed to be no different from the past, the feeling of fullness in their stomachs gave the two brothers more energy.
Tian and Jiang packed up and prepared to go to the river to wash clothes. He Zhaodi and He Pandyi prepared to go dig wild vegetables. He Lianlian had been feeling unwell for the past few days, so she stayed at home and did not go with her two sisters.
Yang was glared at by Meng Lan for several times, but she didn't dare to be lazy and went to clean up the dishes. It can be seen that Meng Lan managed this family in an orderly manner, with everyone doing their job.
Meng Lan saw that Yang had almost finished packing, and seeing that He Lianlian from the second room was still at home, she said to her.
"Lianlian, you take care of Guangzu today. I'll take your Third Aunt to town."
After that, she went to get a few more eggs, filled a small bowl of raw rice, and told He Lianlian, "If your third aunt and I come back late, you can ask your mother to come back and cook."
He Lianlian was born to the second wife Jiang. When He Lianlian was born, her original mother thought that since she already had Zhaodi and Pandi, she should be called Liandi.
Jiang was not happy and argued with her mother-in-law for the first time. Finally, she thought that she was just a granddaughter and it didn't matter what she called her, so she followed Jiang's wishes and called her Lianlian instead of Liandi.
He Lianlian inherited Jiang's temperament and was also bold and daring. Just like her mother Jiang was not afraid of Meng Lan, she was not afraid of her grandmother like her elder and second sisters.
As soon as Meng Lan said that, she agreed without hesitation.
"Grandma, I understand. I will take good care of Guangzu. You can go out with Aunt San without worry."
Yesterday Meng Lan asked Yang to call the third child back from the town, but when she got up this morning, she thought that she had to go there in person to see what He Tianci was doing in the town.
Studying? I guess I didn’t study hard, otherwise how come I didn’t learn anything after all these years?
She might as well catch this rebellious son as soon as possible to prevent him from causing trouble for her outside.
As for asking him to pay one guan of money to his family every month? Meng Lan felt that given He Tianci's laziness, he would most likely not be able to pay.
"Ms. Yang, I will go to town with you to find Tianci today."
Meng Lan made the decision for Yang directly. When Yang heard what Meng Lan said, she was stunned for a moment, and then nodded resignedly. Let her mother-in-law do whatever she wants. She couldn't persuade her anyway. She had been so controlled by her mother-in-law in the past two days that she had lost her temper.
Meng Lan's village was not far from the town. Meng Lan and Yang took a ride with some villagers and soon arrived in the town.
Yang used to come to the town to find He Tianci every month, so she was very familiar with the road. Meng Lan simply asked her to lead the way.
After walking in the town for a while, the two arrived at He Tianci's residence in the town, a small yard that He Tianci rented in the alley.
Yang walked in front with ease. There were other residents washing clothes in the yard. When they saw Yang coming, they looked up and greeted her. It was obvious that they knew her, but their eyes were full of confusion when they looked at Meng Lan.
Yang smiled awkwardly and nodded in response, then continued to walk inside with her mother-in-law.
When they reached a room, the Meridian Gate was closed. Yang stopped and raised her hand to knock on the door.
"Who-"
He Tianci's lazy voice was heard from inside the house. He should have been studying in the academy at this time.
"Tianci, mother and I are here to see you." Yang gritted her teeth and shouted to the inside of the house.
Then, Meng Lan heard a flurry of noise coming from inside, and soon the door in front of her was opened from the inside, revealing He Tianci’s sleepy face.
"Mom? Why are you here?" He Tianci asked Meng Lan nervously and guiltily.
"What? I can't come?" Meng Lan stared at He Tianci with a serious face, and He Tianci suddenly stuttered.
"Mom, you can come whenever you want. I don't have that intention..."
"Then why are you leaving me standing at the door? Why don't you ask your mother to come in and take a look?" Meng Lan saw He Tianci standing at the door in a panic, blocking her view of the house, and she immediately became suspicious.
