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

"Mom, Mom came so suddenly. I haven't cleaned up my room yet. It's so messy."

He Tianci found an excuse to stop Meng Lan from entering the room. His mother came so suddenly, and Xiuqing didn't even bother to inform him in advance.

Thinking of this, He Tianci secretly glared at Yang. Yang shrank her neck, saying that this was none of her business. How could a junior like her control her mother-in-law, an elder?

"What's wrong with that? What kind of person are you? Hasn't your mother seen you?"

Meng Lan asked back in a sarcastic tone, then pushed aside He Tianci who was blocking the door and walked straight into the house.

He Tianci said to himself in his heart that his mother had loved him since he was a child, and he was always the first to eat any delicious food at home. Even if his mother found out that he was eating roast chicken alone in town, she would not blame him.

He is his mother's most beloved youngest son. As the saying goes, the youngest son and the eldest grandson are the lifeblood of an old lady. There is no reason for his mother not to love their third branch. He Tianci thought of it as a matter of course and was not too nervous.

As soon as Meng Lan entered the room, she saw half a roast chicken left on the table.

Meng Lan walked forward a few steps, and when she got closer, she inhaled the remaining aroma of the roast chicken into her nose. The hunger in her stomach due to lack of oil and water for a long time was one thing, but at this moment Meng Lan felt more heartbroken.

The real heartbreak never comes from making a big fuss, like now.

Meng Lan looked at the leftover roast chicken on the table, and what came to her mind were the dark and thin figures of the He Chuanzong brothers, He Zhaodi's dry and yellow hair, and He Pandi's sallow face...

She hated He Tianci's selfishness that disregarded his family's lives, and she hated her original body's bias even more!

Thinking of this, Meng Lan resisted the urge to slap her original body twice, because this body was hers now and she would be the one who would feel the pain if she hit the original body, but she couldn't resist the urge to slap Shao Ji.

Snapped!

Meng Lan slapped the half roast chicken that was lying quietly on the table to the ground with a big slap. It formed a perfect parabola in the air and fell to the ground without a doubt, rolling on the ground for several times before stopping.

"Mom, my roast chicken..."

He Tianci still didn't understand what was going on. Looking at the roast chicken falling to the ground and covered with dust, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken. There was a hint of blame in his tone towards Meng Lan, and he didn't notice at all that Yang's eyes were almost twitching.

Yang originally wanted to remind He Tianci that his mother was different now, so he should be careful not to make her angry.

But He Tianci couldn't see anything at all, and Yang's eyes were tired so she stopped winking at him.

Anyway, husband and wife are birds of a feather, and they fly away separately when disaster strikes. Seeing that her mother-in-law seemed to be angrier than before, she quietly stepped back a few steps.

Seeing that Meng Lan ignored him, He Tianci walked forward several steps with his head held high, muttering to himself, like a fool.

"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why did you dump the roast chicken on the ground? It's still edible, why are you wasting it?"

Meng Lan watched He Tianci walk towards her step by step, and she offered her face to him. She couldn't help but slap He Tianci hard, and a five-finger mark immediately appeared on He Tianci's fair face.

Meng Lan looked at He Tianci's incredulous eyes and felt unprecedentedly happy.

You rebellious son should have been beaten long ago!

"Mom, you hit me..."

He Tianci was stunned after being beaten and it took him a while to react, covering his face.

"Do you know why I hit you?" Meng Lan asked He Tianci coldly, staring at him.

"How do I know why mother hits me? Mother, I am Tianci, your most beloved son..." He

Tianci shook his head and said, it was obvious that he still didn't want to accept the fact that Meng Lan beat him. From childhood to adulthood, his mother had never beaten him.

Snapped!

Meng Lan looked at He Tianci's confused and aggrieved expression, and couldn't help but put another five finger marks on the other half of He Tianci's face, "Do you understand now?"

He Tianci covered one side of his face with one hand, looked at Meng Lan with horror in his eyes, and spoke with trembling voice.

"Mom, I will definitely study hard and pass the exam next year to bring honor to our family."

At this time, He Tianci still thought that Meng Lan was blaming him for being lazy and not going to study, and thought that expressing his determination would make Meng Lan calm down. He never thought that Meng Lan was angry at him for eating alone and not caring about the lives of his entire family.

Meng Lan looked at the stubborn He Tianci in front of her and was so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to hit him again. He Tianci saw through Meng Lan's intention and spoke loudly to her with a sad face.

"Mom, what did my son do wrong? Just tell him the truth! If you let me guess like this, even if you beat me to death today, I still won't be able to guess it!"

Seeing how useless He Tianci was, Meng Lan withdrew her hand and rubbed her palm. She had just slapped Shaoji once and He Tianci twice, and her hand still hurt a little.

Given He Tianci's stupid and selfish head, she estimated that even if she beat his head today, he would not be able to figure out what he did wrong, so Meng Lan spoke immediately.

"Okay, then I'll tell you where you went wrong. He Tianci, let me ask you how much is this roast chicken?"

Seeing that Meng Lan no longer hit him, He Tianci breathed a sigh of relief and learned his lesson. He answered whatever Meng Lan asked.

"Mom, roast chicken is fifty cents each."

Fifty coins? Meng Lan frowned at the price. Chicken was about fifteen coins per pound, and a turkey cost about thirty or forty coins. This roast chicken didn't look very small, so fifty coins was a normal price.

But brown rice costs five cents per pound. In order to save money, I originally bought old brown rice, which only costs three cents per pound. If I buy brown rice at five cents, I can buy ten pounds with fifty cents.

Ten kilograms of rice is enough for so many people to have many meals, but He Tianci is wasting money and eating alone. Thinking of this, Meng Lan's tone sank.

"Then do you know how many kilograms of rice this roast chicken can buy?"

He Tianci's brain was working rapidly. He quickly recalled the price of refined rice outside. It seemed to be more than twenty cents per pound?

So he hesitated for a moment and answered Meng Lan, "Can you buy more than two kilograms?"

Snapped!

After hearing this answer, Meng Lan didn't have time to get angry before her hand reached He Tianci's face.

"Mom!" He Tianci cried out in pain, looking at his mother in confusion and reproach. Didn't he just answer a question wrong? Was it necessary to beat him like this? He was his mother's favorite son.

"You are an unfilial son. Your mother, brother and niece eat bran and vegetables, brown rice and old rice at home, and we are still tightening our belts and not wanting to eat enough. Look at what good things you are doing outside? You don't go to school, but you spend money lavishly. He Tianci, ask yourself with your conscience, who are you really worthy of?"

Towards the end of the speech, Meng Lan became emotional and her voice became higher, almost shouting.

With the accusation of being unfilial put on him and Meng Lan screaming at the top of her lungs, He Tianci stood there in a daze for a moment, unable to react at all.

Meng Lan became more and more angry as she looked at He Tianci like this.

"I've seen that you're not cut out for studying. He Tianci, you're already such a grown-up, but you still need your elder brother, second brother, and niece to support you. Aren't you ashamed? I'm giving you two choices now. One is to pay one tael of silver to your family every month, and find a way to stay in Zhenshan to study and live, and the other is for you to come home with me and farm."

Meng Lan came to the town to find him in person, looking very angry. Even though He Tianci was unwilling to believe it, the burning pain on his face reminded him that his mother was serious.

"Mom, I want to go to school. Can you pay less? After all, the expenses in town are high, and my son also needs..."

However, the inertia of being loved by Meng Lan for many years still made He Tianci feel a little bit lucky, so he asked tentatively.

The next second, Meng Lan gave a decisive answer.

"There's no room for negotiation. Just come back with me and farm."

When He Tianci heard the words "go back to farm", his body trembled slightly. The dark and thin figures of his elder and second brothers appeared in front of him. He didn't want to become like this. He Tianci subconsciously shook his head.

"Mom, then, then I will give you one tael of silver every month..."

He Tianci was thinking about calming Meng Lan down first. After all, his mother seemed to be very angry now, and she would not treat him like this after a few days when she recovered.

Meng Lan stared at He Tianci's face for several seconds and actually smiled. He Tianci's heart skipped a beat and he immediately had a bad premonition. Sure enough, Meng Lan's voice rang out.

"Last time I asked Yang to send you two strings of cash. Give me whatever is left now."
