Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

After talking about making new clothes, Zheng Yuan sent Sizhu and Sanni to take the cloth outside and let Xu Huiniang and the other girls show them how to cut and divide it.

What we need to deal with now is this big bucket of meat and oil. The weather is too hot and if we keep it for too long it will probably start to smell.

"Dashu, Erhe, you two should collect the dishes, wash them, and clean the table. We will cut the meat and make the oil later."

Having just been scolded by their mother, Dashu and Erhe didn't dare to say anything more about the kitchen being filled with women's work after hearing this arrangement. They just responded and started to clean up.

But the people who were in charge of cutting the pork were in a dilemma. There were only two cutting boards and one kitchen knife in the house, one of which was used to chop pig grass. Together with the kitchen knife from Duan Minmin's house, there were only two kitchen knives.

There are six of them. Could it be that two of them are doing it while the other four are watching?

After thinking for a while, Zheng Yuan took out a piece of cut pork belly and called Sizhu and Sanni.

"Sizhu, can you please do me a favor and go to your aunt Duan's house and get the kitchen knife and chopping board?"

Sizhu looked at the white lard and guessed that his mother was going to refine the oil. Thinking of having lard residue to eat, how could he not agree? He nodded and ran quickly towards the door.

"Sanni, take this piece of meat to your grandmother's house, and ask her if she can lend us the chopping board and kitchen knife. Tell her we'll return them to her tomorrow morning after we're done."

"Okay, Mom." Sanni took the meat and went out.

Although the reason for giving meat to Old Lady Chen's family was to borrow their chopping board and kitchen knife, there was no need to give thanks when borrowing things from each other in the village. Zheng Yuan also wanted to be nicer to the two elderly people in his heart, and any help he could give was a little help.

The two old people lost their son in middle age, but they did not blame everything on the original body. Most of what happened afterwards was due to the original body's own inability to figure it out.

Even if it became like this, she would still muster up the courage to come visit after her original body hit its head. Zheng Yuan remembered the brown sugar and eggs that night.

But this family is not just about Amin and her after all. Amin doesn’t care, but Taoer and the other three are all grown up.

"Tao'er, although I gave this piece of meat tonight because I wanted to borrow something from the Chen family, I also want to subsidize them privately. Do you have any ideas?"

Duan Minmin was about to speak, but Zheng Yuan gave her a look and said no. After all, Duan Minmin was not the original body, and could not represent the original family's thoughts.

Tao'er was stunned when her name was suddenly called. She didn't care about what had just happened.

"Aunt, we don't have any ideas. Mother just told me that you have full authority."

Mei'er and Xing'er also nodded, indicating that they would listen to her in everything.

Why would they have any feelings about giving meat to the Chen family's grandparents but not to the Zhao family's grandparents? Even if Aunt Zheng wanted to give it, they would stop her.

Anyway, they never treated their three sisters as granddaughters. As far as they could remember, they had never given them any warmth, only endless beatings and scolding.

When they were young and ignorant, they might expect the care of their grandparents and expect them to treat them like their cousins. But as they grew older and became more sensible, they no longer had such expectations.

They knew the two grandparents of the Chen family. They were two very kind old people. Whenever they met them in the village, they would always say a few words to show their concern. Sometimes they could even get some snacks from them. This was one of the few kindnesses they had felt in the village before.

Seeing that the children looked normal, Zheng Yuan stopped worrying about it.

But at this moment, the two boys who were cleaning the table and washing dishes were encountering many problems.

"Wife, where is this bowl?"

As soon as Xu Hui Niang pointed at him, Erhe started shouting again.

"Mom! What should I use to wash the dishes?"

"Where is the towel? Where is the sink? Erhe, can you be faster..."

"I want you to be faster? Brother, it's you who's blocking me!"

......

Seeing the two of them running around in the kitchen like headless flies, Zheng Yuan's head was about to explode, and he wanted to pull each of them over and hit them twice. Wash a few dishes and make you two feel as nervous as if you were making an atomic bomb.

Finally, there was a loud crash and a ceramic bowl fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, stopping the two boys from chattering.

The two boys hung their wet hands, looking helplessly at the pottery bowl sleeping on the ground, then raised their heads and looked timidly at the women in the room.

Normally, I never felt that washing dishes and cleaning the kitchen were such complicated tasks. Why did two grown men of mine clean up for such a long time without any method? We watched the kitchen become more and more messy, and a bowl even broke.

Seeing how useless they were, Xu Hui Niang felt angry for some reason.

"Get out of the way! Dashu, how old are you? You can't even wash a dish properly. What can you do every day?"

As he said this, he was about to squeeze to the front, ready to clean up the mess himself so as to avoid getting angry when he saw them.

Duan Minmin quickly grabbed her and pulled her in front of her: "Don't help. We agreed to let them clean up, so let them clean up. If you don't know how to do it, just learn slowly. The first time is a little harder, the second time is easier. It's okay, you two can continue."

After that, she pulled a few girls to the back of the stove and started whispering: "Hui Niang, are you stupid? He said he couldn't do it and you went to help him do it. Doesn't that mean he will never do it in the future and you will have to help him do it forever? What's the point of what your mother said today?"

"No one is born with the ability to do something. It takes time to learn. Besides, can you guys tell me how complicated it is to clean up and wash the dishes? How come these two boys can't even handle a few dishes?"

"If you ask me, this is all caused by us women. Those old widowers who don't have women at home can't just live without them. They still have someone who can keep the house in order."

"Don't look at them as clumsy. These men are cunning. They just show weakness to win your sympathy, and then let you work like slaves for them while they continue to be useless men."

The big tree and Erhe nearby were shot innocently.

"Today I will teach you a truth. You must learn to show weakness in front of a man. If you can do everything, slowly, he will take it for granted that these things should be yours. When the time comes for him to do a small thing, he will feel that he can't do it and will push it all to you. Then you will have a heavy burden on your shoulders." Duan Minmin continued.

"You should let them do it on their own and explore. It's okay if they make mistakes. As long as they keep working, give them a few compliments and they will be full of energy. Praise won't make us lose weight, but it will get us a diligent and obedient husband."

"Including you little ones, when you get married in the future, you must remember these principles of mine. Don't treat your men as children who know nothing. You are not their mothers, why do you spoil them? Spoiling them will only make you work like slaves in his family. Do you understand?"

Several unmarried girls lowered their heads in shame when they heard her teach them so openly how to get along with their husbands.

Zheng Yuan took over the conversation: "That's right, your Aunt Duan is right. You must keep these words in mind. These are the lessons we have learned. Our girls must not suffer this loss when they get married."

In fact, they are just other people’s experiences and lessons that I read on the Internet before.

"Including Hui Niang, although you married into our family, I treat you the same as the others. Dashu is a child with a lot of bad habits, you can't just spoil him like this, just let him do what he should do."

The girls nodded after listening to this. Although they were shy, they felt that this was correct.
