Marrying a village tyrant husband with space, being spoiled by the in-laws

Tao Guihua, who came over to help move things, was filled with envy when she heard this.

That bathtub is definitely more comfortable than a wooden basin, but it is not cheap. Even if she asks her second uncle's cousin Chengli to make it, it will cost several hundred coins, and she can't bear to do that.

Even though there aren't many things in the utility room, it's getting late by the time we move them all out and clean it up.

When the sun was about to set, Li Chengjia, who was selling roasted snacks on the streets, pushed a wooden cart into the house.

Everyone was present, and they started to have dinner before it got dark.

There were two stone tables in the yard, one for men and one for women. Dinner was much simpler, with boiled cornmeal, mixed flour pancakes, cold cucumber salad, and stir-fried spinach.

There was an extra plate of scrambled eggs with chili peppers on the man’s table than on the woman’s.

The cucumber was only added with salt, and it had no taste other than being a little salty. The spinach was also dry and had little oil or moisture.

Yu Suihuan didn't eat the mixed flour pancakes because they would make her throat ache and she didn't like them at all.

She only ate a few bites of the dish, but the cornmeal cooked in the big iron pot was very fragrant, so she drank it all and was barely 60% full.

Tao Guihua ate two steamed buns in one breath. Seeing that Yu Suihuan next to her didn't eat a single bite of the pancake and only drank half a bowl of cornmeal, she couldn't help but sigh again, how could he not lose weight if he ate so little!

"Brother, what happened to your hand?"

When Li Chengjin was picking up food, he found that there was something wrong with his elder brother's hand. Upon closer inspection, he found that there was a black and purple bruise on his wrist.

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone turned their eyes to Li Chengjia.

Boss Li put down his wine cup and glanced at his eldest son's wrist.

"Boss, what's going on?"

"Nothing. I just ran into a fellow trader when I was selling goods in Xiaolang Village today. He saw that he couldn't outsell me, so he maliciously lowered the price, which made it impossible for me to do business. We just pushed and shoved a few times, but it was nothing serious."

Li Chengjia said nonchalantly.

"Which village's vendor can get a bargain from you, big brother, by fighting alone? I'll go with you tomorrow to have a look."

Li Chengjin didn't quite believe what his eldest brother said. He and his brothers had been practicing martial arts with Wu the Hunter since they were young to strengthen their bodies. They were born tall and it was impossible for three or two ordinary men to get close to them.

"That's right. I will go with my eldest brother tomorrow. Do you really think our Li family is easy to bully?"

Li Chengxing also had a bad temper. If his father hadn't been there, he would have slammed the table on the spot.

"The wheat harvest will start in two days, so I don't need to sell roasted nuts anymore. Why would I bother with that?"

After Li Chengjia said this, everyone could hear that it was definitely not that simple.

"Boss, is the person who stole your business someone important?"

Boss Li picked up the wine cup and took a sip.

"I heard that they are the cousins ​​of the daughter-in-law of the county magistrate. They are from Xiaolang Village. They are numerous and powerful. I will not sell there in the future."

At this point, everyone fell silent.

The reason why we go to Xiaolang Village to sell is because there is a dock, cargo ships, merchant ships passing back and forth, and people delivering and unloading goods. With so many people, there will naturally be consumers.

If I don’t sell there, I’ll have to go door to door to sell, but I might not sell as much as I do there.

"Business is already difficult now, and there are many people selling roasted nuts, some of whom sell them at a low price. I am thinking about changing my job after the busy farming season."

Li Chengjia also told his father a while ago that in fact, someone looking for trouble was not the fundamental reason. The reason why business was bad was that there were too many people doing business.

"It's tiring to go out every day. Just rest at home for the next two days. The busy farming season will be the most tiring in the next two days."

Boss Li paused and continued.

"The unsold roasted nuts will be divided among us. Some will be kept at home for the busy farming season, and some will be given to my three daughters-in-law to use when they visit relatives."

"Dad, I don't need to go back. Give it to my two sisters-in-law."

Yu Suihuan doesn't have any mother's family anymore, and he is now a lone commander.

Speaking of visiting one's mother's home, there is a saying: When the wheat seedlings turn yellow, the girl visits her mother.

A few days before the wheat harvest, married girls would bring some gifts back to their parents’ home to visit. No one knows how this custom was passed down.

Tao Guihua and Zhang Lanxiang both had a hint of joy on their faces. Except for the Chinese New Year, they hadn't been back to their parents' home for nearly half a year. How could they not want to go back and visit?

"Mom, if you want to go back, go back to your maternal grandparents' house tomorrow. You haven't been back to your maternal home for many years."

Li Chengjin saw that his two sisters-in-law were so happy when they talked about going back to their parents' home, and thought that his mother must want to go back to visit her parents' home as well.

Although his grandmother and grandfather had passed away a few years ago, his younger brother, uncle and aunt were still at home.

Li Chengjin remembered that when he returned to his maternal grandparents' home, his uncle loved the three brothers very much.

When talking about her mother's family, Li Zhou's eyes softened a little.

She hasn't seen her brother for more than a year and doesn't know how her family is doing.

"Huanhuan and I have nothing to do tomorrow, so we can go to my grandparents' house with you."

He could see that his mother wanted to go too.

"Go if you want to. The eldest and second oldest son and I will take care of all the chores at home. Don't worry too much."

Boss Li is not an unreasonable person.

"Okay, let's go to your grandparents' house tomorrow. They have planted several white sand apricots, which should be ripe by now. The apricots are big and sweet. We can bring some back tomorrow to satisfy the cravings of the first, second, and third children."

When they heard that they could eat apricots, the three children clapped their hands with joy.

There was nothing to do after dark, so everyone went back to their rooms to sleep.

Li Chengjin took out the oil lamp and lit it, then considerately poured a glass of water for Yu Suihuan.

"Is the food at home not to your liking? Why did you eat so little at dinner?"

"The food I cook at home is dry and tastes salty, but it has no flavor at all. It's not delicious at all."

When facing Li Chengjin, she didn't act deliberately reserved.

"We have so much food now. Can't we just eat white flour every day? Even if the whole family eats it, we won't be able to finish it in a lifetime."

It was okay to skip one or two meals, but Yu Suihuan couldn't stand skipping every meal. She wanted to eat white and soft white flour buns. She never thought buns were delicious before, but now she was drooling just thinking about it.

"Of course you can eat white flour every day, but we have to find a reasonable reason to take it out first. When we go out together in a few days, we can say that we hunted game and exchanged it for silver to buy food. Then we can take some out openly."

Yu Suihuan thought about it and it made sense. With so many people in a family, you never know for sure who might say something that could lead to trouble.

It would be much more convenient if there were only two of them at home.

She was really starving.

"Brother still has a lot of roasted nuts for sale today. I'll go get some for you to fill your stomach."

Li Chengjin turned around and walked out of the room. After a while, he walked into the house holding a small basket.
