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

Chapter 22 No matter what happens, go to the third palace

"Uncle, Brother Yan, why are you here?"

Leng Huai showed surprise, opened the gate and welcomed the people outside in.

Leng Yan walked out of the house and looked up. It turned out that it was his great-grandfather and his family.

"Grandfather, great uncle, eldest cousin and second cousin."

Leng Yan called everyone one by one, but the old man in the lead just glanced at her indifferently, then hummed in a muffled voice and walked into the house.

Leng Yan didn't know why they came, but she felt inexplicably unhappy, especially her second cousin who was walking at the end. When she approached her, she glared at her for some reason.

It was not until then that she realized that this second cousin was Leng Juaner, who often bullied her and her younger sister-in-law.

My eldest cousin is Leng Ziyan, who is studying in the city and will become an academician next year.

"Why is Big Brother here?"

Old Master Leng was also surprised at their family's arrival, but then he thought of what his eldest brother Leng Dashu said when he suddenly paid back the five hundred copper coins that he had owed their family for many years on the battle day on the river.

"Next year, Zi Yan will take the imperial examination, and as his grandfather, you have to help him out.

After all, you can't write two words "cold" with one stroke. If Ziyan can be successful, you should also benefit from it."

"Hey, uncle and cousin are here, come in and sit down."

Seeing this, Zhang Cuiniang had to greet them with a smile no matter how much she disliked the family. She quickly stood up and went to pour some water.

"Don't worry, second brother and sister-in-law. We just came here to see brother Xun."

Leng Xun is Zhang Dashu's eldest son, and Leng Xun and Leng Huai's eldest cousin.

His words were spoken beautifully, but Leng He, who was standing next to him, curled her lips when she heard them. She approached Leng Yan and muttered softly.

"When our father was injured, you were frightened and unconscious for two days. Great grandfather and his family didn't even come to visit us. They even kept the door closed, fearing that we would borrow money from them.

Now that my sister is better and our father can almost go to bed, they finally came. I really don’t know what their intentions are.

Leng He was right, no one would come to see him for no reason. After Leng Dashu's family looked at Leng Xun in a serious manner for a few times, they started to talk about all sorts of things.

However, Old Man Leng simply responded with two sentences and did not really take up the conversation. Zhang Cuiniang and Leng Su avoided them early on, and Leng Xun lay on the kang pretending to be dead and ignored everyone.

Leng Huai is young, and Leng Yan and his siblings are even younger than them and have no say.

In the end, the scene turned out to be that Leng Dashu and his eldest son Leng Yan sang in unison, with Leng Ziyan occasionally adding a word.

Seeing that she couldn't get to the point, Leng Juan'er became anxious. Her eyes darted around the room. She caught a glimpse of the cloth and embroidery thread in the needlework basket at the side and started to look through them.

In the sewing basket was the cloth that Leng Yan bought last time, to make new clothes for her family.

At this moment, there was an unfinished dress in it, the color was bright, and it was Leng Yan.

Seeing this, Leng Yan hurried forward and took the sewing basket back.

Leng Juan'er was looking at the cloth with great interest, but it was taken away unexpectedly. She was about to retort in dissatisfaction.

Leng Dashu, who was standing by, took a glimpse and came up with something to say.

"I heard that Yan has been very capable since she recovered from her stupidity!

Yesterday, she was able to hunt a wild boar by herself. I have never seen such a strong girl in the surrounding area!"

Old Master Leng knew exactly what the family was going to do and could only laugh it off.

"It was also Sister Yan's good luck that the wild boar was injured and was on the verge of death when Sister Yan saw it.

Otherwise, how could she, a child, be more powerful than the hunters in the village? "

Leng Dashu remained noncommittal, "Not everyone can have good luck.

Take Liu Tiezi for example, although he was frightened by a wild boar and injured his leg, he was lucky enough to get a big pig leg in the end!"

Leng Yan understood what they had heard. It turned out that they were being sarcastic. They had sent a pork hind leg to Uncle Tiezi's family, but only sent three or two kilograms of pork to their family. They were dissatisfied with this.

Leng Yan is funny, let alone anything else.

She just said that if she was not a relative of the Leng family's eldest branch and for some face-saving purpose, she would not give her even a pig's hair, let alone three or two pounds of pork.

"Brother, what do you mean?"

Old Master Leng also understood the implication and quickly spoke out.

“I said before that the wild boar was injured, so Sister Yan hunted it.

The wild boar was injured because of the trap set by Liu Tiezi.

Therefore, I sent a pig leg to Liu Tiezi's family. This is what they deserve."

"Besides, if I remember correctly, last year my eldest brother's family slaughtered the New Year pig, but our second house didn't see any oil at all."

Old Master Leng was dissatisfied with them for taking it for granted and being picky.

Leng Dashu was speechless when he heard the voice. He didn't understand why his usually peaceful brother suddenly became so aggressive.

Leng Ziyan saw that his grandfather was at a disadvantage and hurriedly spoke up to explain.

"Don't blame me, Second Grandpa. When we slaughtered the New Year pig last year, Grandpa told me to send some to Second Grandpa's family.

But at that time, my family was busy sending New Year gifts to the teachers in the college, so they forgot about it.

But don’t worry, Second Grandpa. When I graduate from high school, I will definitely send you pork every year.”

"Yes, yes, Uncle, it's just some pork, why bother about it.

When Ziyan gets to high school, don’t even mention pork. You can eat whatever you want.”

Leng Yan, who was standing next to him, echoed the sentiment and turned to Leng Ziyan to warn him.

"Zi Yan, remember, when you become successful in the future, you must be filial to your second grandfather.

This way, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, your second grandfather will be able to help you."

Upon hearing this, Leng Ziyan was about to stand up and salute to make a promise.

Leng Yan sneered and thought, what a big show!

He has mastered the art of shapeshifting, moral kidnapping, flattering, and taking advantage.

She never knew that the relationship between their two families had become so good.

It turns out that people will try their best to please you only when they have ulterior motives.

Thinking of what my great-grandfather said to my grandfather last time, that my eldest cousin would become an academician after the new year, he meant that he wanted to borrow money from their second branch.

But their family had no money at all, and the whole family lived in a few shabby houses. It was impossible for them to know about the fact that their family was selling silver sprouts.

Then all they wanted was the fields.

Do they want their family to sell their fields and land to support the eldest grandson's studies? Where do they get the confidence from?

After figuring this out, Leng Yan said directly.

"Brother, my grandfather will be taken care of by my father, my uncle, and my eldest brother in the future, so you don't have to worry about it.

So that you won’t be too stressed in the future and delay your studies.”

"That's the truth."

Mr. Leng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this and quickly took over the conversation.

"Zi Yan, remember, no matter how successful you are in the future, you must be filial to your grandparents and your parents.

It's not easy for them to save money to support your studies, so don't let them down.

As for me, your second grandfather, you don't have to worry about me.

When Second Grandpa gets old, my children and grandchildren, whether they are rich or poor, will have something to eat for me."
