A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money

"what?"

You have to know that when her mother-in-law passed away, Leng Yan was not even a month old and was too old to remember anything.

Not to mention her, even Leng Cang, who is one year older than her, may not remember his grandmother who passed away early.

"it is true!"

Seeing Zhang Cuiniang's disbelief, Leng Yan continued:

“I didn’t recognize her at first, but the old lady in my dream said she was my grandmother and told me a lot of things about her family.

But I don't remember it clearly. I just remember that she said that when I was born, my mind was not in the right place, and one of my three souls and six spirits was missing, which made me look a little stupid.

But now I am fine, my grandma helped me find that soul back, and now my soul is back, and I am fine now!"

"As expected, as expected, it seems that the master really did not lie to me."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cuiniang was so excited that she felt grateful to God.

Only then did Leng Yan realize that his casual words had led to his blind cat catching a dead mouse.

It turned out that after discovering Leng Yan's abnormality when she was a child, the Leng family had sought medical treatment and medicine for her many times, but all of them were incurable.

It was not until a wandering Taoist priest passed by that he pointed out the key, which was exactly the same as what Leng Yan was saying now.

Seeing that he had successfully changed his personality, Leng Yan stopped pretending and just got off the kang. Anyway, no one knew what Leng Yan's original personality was like, so he just followed his heart.

"Mom, I'm hungry."

For some reason, Leng Yan felt particularly sad when he saw Zhang Cuiniang, who was thin and had red and swollen eyes.

She didn't like this and tried to divert her attention.

"Hey, the fish soup will be ready soon!"

Zhang Cui Niang swallowed her sobs and turned her head away, "He Jie'er, go look for your grandfather and your aunt. Dinner will be served soon!"

Leng He was also immersed in joy, jumping and dancing, and upon hearing the words, she couldn't wait to share her joy.

She was eloquent and chattering, and in just half a day, most of Maodong's fellow villagers knew that the idiot from the Leng family had recovered overnight.

At that time, Leng Yan was sitting on the kang with a bowl of fish soup, surrounded by the whole family.

The radish and fish soup has little saltiness but plenty of pepper, making it perfect for drinking on cold winter days.

"Dad, Mom, and Grandpa, please stop looking at me. The food is getting cold."

The Leng family members were still in disbelief, staring at Leng Yan, afraid that they had seen it wrong or that they had frightened him.

"Oh, okay, let's stop looking at it and eat!"

After all, Old Master Leng was older, so although he was also shocked, he was happy to see that his eldest granddaughter was able to recover, so he stopped thinking about anything supernatural.

Instead, Zhang Cuiniang's tears flowed like beads from a broken string. She ate the mixed noodle porridge in the bowl while swallowing the fishy and salty tears.

Leng Yan felt very uncomfortable watching this. In her bowl was thick fish soup and the tenderest pieces of meat from the fish's belly.

What her family ate was radish and cabbage cooked in fish soup. She didn't even need to taste it to know that the radish and cabbage must have no oil or salt, and would have more fish flavor than those cooked in plain water.

But even so, the family still ate with gusto. Several people shared a fish head, and several others shared a fish tail. The conditions were really difficult, but Leng Yan felt an inappropriate sense of family warmth.

In her previous life, she had no parents and entered society early. She hadn't had this feeling for a long time.

"Sister Yan, try this, it's very sweet."

The girl next to her looked cold and saw that she was staring at the radish and cabbage. She thought she wanted to eat but was too embarrassed to pick some, so she put a piece of tender cabbage heart in her bowl.

This is how the family is. Even though Leng Yan was a little stupid, ignorant and a girl in the past, her family never blamed her.

They even treated her more attentively than the youngest twins Leng Qi and Leng He. The whole family doted on her and gave in to her.

"Thank you, sister-in-law!"

A warm feeling flowed through Leng Yan's heart again. The cabbage heart was indeed fragrant and sweet when it entered her mouth.

She also took the opportunity to talk to her aunt's twin brother, Leng Huai.

Leng Huai is a man of few words but he is very handsome, forming a sharp contrast with the twin siblings Leng Qi and Leng He.

She took the opportunity to sort out the people in her family: her grandfather Leng Dagen, her father Leng Xun (the second child), and her mother Zhang Cuiniang.

As well as the older twins' uncle Leng Huai and younger aunt Leng Su.

Her eldest brother is Leng Cang, and her younger twin brother is Leng Qi and her younger sister is Leng He.

Although there are nine people in the family, they don’t split up.

But fortunately, the family members were united and there was no trouble. Apart from not having enough food to eat and the family members being thin and sallow, they lived a comfortable life.

After the meal, the family confirmed once again that Leng Yan was not feeling unwell, and then they went back to their own business.

Normally, winter is a time for people to rest and relax, but the Leng family is so poor that they have to do something to supplement the family income.

Otherwise, her father would not be so cold and would not go up the mountain to hunt rabbits in the heavy snow. Now that his leg is injured, he can only weave baskets at home.

Leng Su would embroider some handkerchiefs and sell them in the city, while Old Man Leng would take his children and grandchildren to the mountains to collect firewood, as firewood was indispensable for heating the kang in winter.

After Leng Yan knew about this, he also wanted to go for a walk. Just when he was wondering how to start the conversation, he heard the voices of villagers talking outside the door.

"Is Cang'er's mother at home?"

Leng He was so excited in the morning that she wanted to use a loudspeaker to tell the whole village that her sister was better. The curious villagers came to her door.

The farmers were all simple and honest. They knew that the Leng family had a hard time and that they were visiting the younger generation who had recovered from an illness. They didn't care about anything. They would never come empty-handed, just an egg, a few pieces of cloth and some homemade pickled soybean paste.

Since guests are welcome, Zhang Cuiniang couldn't refuse them, so she had to entertain them. But she was afraid that the villagers would be too noisy and would scare Leng Yan, so she was busy pouring tea and water.

"Oh, it's so lively, it seems I came at the wrong time."

At this moment, a weird voice sounded outside the door.

Leng Yan followed to see, and saw a fat woman coming in through the curtain. She was dressed the best in the room, but her face was narrow and she looked a little shrewd.

Seeing the person coming, Leng Su next to him hurried forward.

"Aunt Han is here, come in and have a cup of hot water."

Compared with Leng Su's thoughtfulness, Aunt Han seemed indifferent. She didn't even glance at her, leaving her in embarrassment.

"Her son is engaged to his younger sister-in-law."

Seeing Leng Yan's puzzled look, Leng He explained to her in a low voice.

"But they are not kind to my aunt. The whole family is like a rooster with its tail raised to the sky. They are so arrogant and disgusting!"

When everyone saw Han like this, some people whispered to each other, while others started chatting enthusiastically.

"Move aside, move aside! Hey, Sun Tongsheng's mother is here. Come on and sit on the kang. Don't get frozen in this cold weather."

Aunt Han really enjoyed the feeling of being sought after, and she pretended for a long time before she was finally invited to get on the kang.

"What are you standing there for? Why don't you pour me a bowl of sugar water? You are so ignorant! Are you trying to make me die of thirst?"

Han reached out and stroked her hair, deliberately revealing the hollow silver bracelet on her wrist with a proud look on her face.

Leng Su looked embarrassed and stared at Zhang Cuiniang awkwardly.

Brown sugar is a precious thing these days and is extremely rare. The Leng family, who eats dark brown flour every day all year round, has no idea where to get it.
