Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

Early in the morning, Zheng Yuan was preparing breakfast when he heard someone shouting outside.

"Big tree girl! Big tree girl!"

Zheng Yuan dropped the spatula and walked into the yard, then saw Old Lady Chen knocking on the door.

After opening the door, Zheng Yuan asked: "Mom, why are you here? The door is not locked, just push it open and come in."

Old Mrs. Chen walked in carrying a sack, thinking to herself, you didn't let me in when I knocked on the door before, so I pushed the door open by myself, and now you're chasing me out after I come in?

Zheng Yuan naturally didn't know what the old lady was thinking, so he said as he walked, "Mom, why are you here? Have you eaten?"

"No, your family is out of food, right? I'll bring you some." Old Mrs. Chen said, handing her the bag.

Zheng Yuan was confused.

How could she not know that her family had no food?

"Mom, where did you hear that we have no food?"

"Didn't Erhe go to pick the tender melons to eat yesterday? Your father saw them in the field and said you asked him to pick them. You young people just don't know how to save money. It's still a long way to the autumn harvest. If you don't have anything to eat, you're wasting the green grain."

"You are feasting and drinking lavishly with the Zhao family now, but in a few days the grain in the fields will be eaten up. Let's see what you will do!" As the old lady spoke, she sounded a little disappointed.

Only then did Zheng Yuan realize that because he ate the tender melon greedily, Old Mrs. Chen thought that she had no food at home, and that she was sending him relief food.

She felt a little touched in her heart. These two cheap in-laws were really nice people.

"Mom, we have food. You can take this food back. I have earned some money now. You don't have to worry about us when we eat these." Zheng Yuan stuffed the bag back into the old lady's hands.

The old lady looked unconvinced: "There is food? You have food but you still waste the green grain! Don't worry, your father and I won't ask you to pay it back." Then she stuffed the bag of grain to Zheng Yuan, turned around and walked out quickly.

Zheng Yuan was pushed by the old lady and before she could react, the old lady was about to go out the door. She quickly ran two steps and grabbed the old lady's hand.

"Mom, why are you running? Come in quickly. I've told you I have food. If you don't believe me, come in and take a look." As he said that, he pulled the old lady towards the kitchen.

Looking at the thick millet porridge bubbling in the pot, the old lady finally believed Zheng Yuan's words, but still muttered softly: "What a spendthrift! What season is it? Put so much food in it, do you think you are a landlord's wife!"

Because she was afraid that the daughter-in-law would go crazy again, the old lady lowered her voice, but Zheng Yuan still heard it. But she did not refute it. The old lady was doing it for her own good. She was not like the original owner who could not tell good from bad.

"Mom, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I won't let your grandchildren starve." Zheng Yuan comforted her.

The old lady nodded, "It's good that you know. You should keep this bag of grain. You need capital to run the ice jelly business now. There are many mouths to feed now, so it's better to keep it for you in case of emergency. But I have to tell you, don't be too careless. The two families are living together, don't pay for everything. You and Duan Minniang have been fighting for so many years, you have to be careful."

The old lady didn't know that the two bodies had been swapped. She only knew that she wanted to remind her daughter-in-law. Zheng Yuan knew what was good for her and accepted the old lady's kindness. She took the bag of grain and said, "Mom, I won't be polite. I will accept this bag of grain. Don't worry, Sister Duan is the same as me. We were confused before, but now we have changed."

"By the way, you can take this meat back and eat it. My business is still in its infancy, so I don't have much meat. I'll reward you when I make a lot of money." Based on the principle of reciprocity, Zheng Yuan cut half of the meat that was not fried yesterday and stuffed it into the old lady's hand.

The old lady wanted to say something, but her hand felt heavy. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Zheng Yuan stuffing her with a small piece of fat and about a pound of lean meat. After realizing what was going on, she immediately pushed it back, with a look of shock on her face: "Second son's wife, you are not living like this! What kind of life is this? You still have money to eat meat, but you are still giving it away!"

"Mom, didn't I tell you that Sister Duan and I are doing business? We've made some money, and we wanted to give it to the children." Zheng Yuan stuffed the meat back helplessly. Fortunately, they divided the family property, otherwise the old lady would have nagged her to death seeing how lavishly they spent money.

Although the old lady was greedy, she still rationally refused: "You earn some money but don't know how to save it. You still have a heavy burden on your shoulders. Take this meat back and feed your children. Besides, this money is not earned by you alone. If you give it to me, Duan Minniang will have some ideas in her mind. How can you two continue your business?"

Zheng Yuan felt warm inside when he heard her thinking about him everywhere.

"Mom, just take it. I haven't been filial to you and dad for so many years, so just think of it as your daughter-in-law's way of honoring you. You don't have to worry about what Sister Duan will think. She knows everything I do. Well, there will be many family members around these days, so I won't keep you for dinner." Fearing that she would refuse again, Zheng Yuan pushed the old lady out without saying anything.

After the old lady left, Zheng Yuan opened the bag and saw that it was half a bag of millet. The Chen family was quite generous. His family was probably still eating corn paste, but they were willing to give millet to the family of this unfilial second daughter-in-law.

We have to hurry up and cook. The old lady has delayed us for a while, and the children who have worked in the fields are almost back, but she hasn't even started cooking yet.

Old Mrs. Chen took the meat that Zheng Yuan stuffed into her's pocket and walked home in a daze. When she reached the door, she happened to meet Old Man Chen and his companions who were returning from the field.

Seeing his wife in such a state of despair, Mr. Chen was startled. He wondered if he would be scolded by the second son's wife again for delivering food. He hurriedly stepped forward, put down his hoe, and looked at the old lady from head to toe: "Old lady, what's wrong with you?"

The old lady came to her senses at this moment and raised the meat in her hand in front of her: "The child's father, look."

Mr. Chen was shocked: "Where did you get the meat?"

"The second son's wife gave it to me."

The children who followed behind naturally heard it as well, and were all shocked. Would the second child's family give their own meat?

After listening to Old Lady Chen's story about the food delivery this morning, the Chen family fell silent. They thought that after being beaten by the second son in the underworld, the second son's family would at most stop making trouble, but they didn't expect to receive ice jelly and meat again. They suddenly felt flattered.

Thinking about how he had helped the second son's family a lot before, Grandpa Chen waved his hand and said, "Let's do it. We haven't had any greasy food in our family for a long time."

The whole family was very happy when they heard that they had meat to eat. Although it was not a lot, and each person could only get two or three thin slices, they were already very satisfied.

That morning, everyone in the Chen family had a very satisfying meal.

When Duan Minmin and the others came back for dinner, Zheng Yuan told her that her mother-in-law was worried that she had no food to eat, so she sent her some food, and she gave her some meat.

"Well! You make the decision. But your step-in-laws are really nice, unlike mine. They never cared about me from beginning to end. When the family was divided, it was those wicked old men and women who coaxed and tricked them out." Duan Minmin sighed.

Zheng Yuan agreed. She was lucky enough not to meet any weird in-laws.

"By the way, what do you think of this old woman's family in your memory?" Because of the kindness shown by Old Lady Chen today, Zheng Yuan suddenly became interested in the two people's adopted parents. She herself was also digging through the memories of her original body, trying to find some memories about her original body's biological parents.

The two recalled for a long time, and finally looked at each other with a wry smile and came to a conclusion: it is better not to provoke them, and just pretend that these parents do not exist. Anyway, they are not their real parents.

These two old women were also pitiful. They were poisoned by the idea of ​​favoring sons over daughters, and their situations at home were similar. Anyway, they lived a worse life than the Taoer sisters and Sanni before. In the end, they were married out to exchange for the bride price of their brothers. The husbands of the latter two women died and the family was divided. When they were not living a happy life, their family members never showed up from beginning to end, for fear of being blamed.
