A time-travelling peasant girl becomes a wealthy woman

The village chief's wife Zhang Liuzhi was very surprised.

She originally thought that this first birthday banquet would just be a few simple dishes, just for show, but she didn't expect that several dishes would contain meat.

"Yes, we were also complaining when we were cooking. The Bozi family is really generous. Mumu must have enjoyed a good life if she was born in their family."

Aunt Huang, who was still serving the dishes, took over the conversation.

Aunt Huang San, Uncle Huang Liu and Aunt Huang Liu came over to help after lunch. There was so much washing, cutting, frying and other work that Huang Bo and his wife didn't have time to finish it.

"No, no, it's not a big dish, just enjoy it."

Huang Bo quickly arranged for the villagers to take their seats.

Everyone said blessings to Huang Mulin, gave some small toys to the children and placed them in a bamboo basket beside them, and started eating after the dishes were served.

After a while, everyone was eating with their mouths full of oil and smiles on their faces.

Except for a few people.

He Hui Niang glanced at Roland, whose face was gloomy, and felt inexplicably happy. She picked up a small piece of lean meat and fed it to Huang Mulin without much concern.

Roland probably didn't expect that He Hui Niang would be so willing to hold such a wonderful family dinner for her own daughter.

Huang Bo, who was sitting next to him, also noticed it and immediately picked up a piece of well-layered pork belly and put it in Roland's bowl: "Mom, you eat the meat."

Roland glared at him angrily and said through gritted teeth, "You prodigal son, you're just a little girl, but you still have to spend so much money on a family banquet. If you have the money, why don't you honor your mother?"

Roland regretted it. If he had known that they could still come up with the money, he would have just asked them for the money and put it in his own pocket. Why would he let these irrelevant people eat and drink for free?

Huang Bo's smile paused, and He Hui Niang pretended not to hear. The others slowed down their chopstick movements while eating, and their conversations also stopped.

"Mom." Huang Bo smiled and said, "I've always wanted a girl. Isn't this a happy thing?"

Then he picked up a piece of potato chips with minced meat and put it in her bowl: "The crops are growing well this year, I will prepare some more for you as a New Year gift."

"These are two different things!" Roland's eyes widened. "So you want to give me less New Year gifts just for this girl? I won't agree!"

"Mom, that's not true." Huang Bo explained quickly.

Huang Mulin had no impression of Roland. This was the first time she had seen him since she was born. The old woman had never come to see her, but her maternal grandparents had come a few times.

She didn't know that she was so unpopular with Roland. She just thought that her parents didn't have a good relationship with her grandmother, and they had separated and rarely interacted with each other.

Roland is thin, not tall, with slender features, and has a domineering and inexplicable sense of superiority.

She looked down on He Hui Niang because she was the wife Huang Bo chose himself.

That year, Mr. Huang died of illness. When Huang Bo grew up, he went to Hejia Village with the village elders to help and met He Hui Niang. He fell in love with her at first sight.

In the following months, he went to Hejia Village under various pretexts and looked for various opportunities to contact He Hui Niang. After confirming He Hui Niang's feelings, Huang Bo went home and mentioned the matter to Roland.

Roland felt unhappy that her son had such intention without her approval and she disagreed. Huang Bo and Roland had a very unhappy argument because of this.

Later, Roland couldn't persuade Huang Bo any more and had to agree, but the betrothal gift he gave was a bit ugly.

He Hui Niang knew about it, but she didn't care too much. She was attracted by Huang Bo as a person.

Her father, He Mingliang, was well-educated and a scholar.

When the He family no longer had the ability to support He Mingliang to continue his studies and take the imperial examinations, he gave up, found a job as a teacher in a private school in town, and married Zheng Jiaojiao, an embroiderer in a small workshop.

After marriage, Zheng Jiaojiao quit her job as an embroiderer and stayed at home to farm, take care of her parents-in-law, and take care of the children.

When He Mingliang is on vacation at home, he teaches his children to read and has no idea of ​​favoring boys over girls.

Among the three children, only He Hui Niang learned quickly and well. She also inherited Zheng Jiaojiao's good looks. She was pretty and smart, good at embroidery and literate. She was well-known in the surrounding area, and there was an endless stream of people coming to her to propose marriage.

But she never expressed it to anyone, except Huang Bo.

After understanding He Huiniang's intentions, the He family asked their neighbors to find out about Huang Bo.

The news came back that Huang Bo was a capable and honest person, and he did not seem to be the kind of person who would leave his family elders to their own devices.

After all, the old lady in Huang Bo's family is quite strong and does not agree to Huang Bo's proposal, fearing that He Hui Niang will be wronged if she marries him.

Later, when the He family learned that Roland's betrothal gift was only 500 coins and a chicken, they were indeed extremely reluctant.

Considering the financial situation of the He family, asking for a betrothal gift of five taels of silver would not be excessive, and the dowry they would give would not be less than five taels of silver.

But He Huiniang insisted on getting married, and the family had no choice but to discuss it. They all agreed that the person was more important than the gift, so they agreed to let her get married.

After the marriage, Roland made things difficult for Huang Bo. Huang Bo couldn't stand it anymore and wanted to split up the family. He gave up most of the wealth left by Mr. Huang and ended up getting only five acres of wasteland and nothing else.

The person Roland truly loved from the beginning to the end was Huang Ming, and because Huang Bo had contradicted him many times, he did not share any of the good things in the house with Huang Bo.

He Hui Niang took out some of her dowry money, and Huang Bo borrowed some from people in the village who had surplus money. They built two bedrooms, a small kitchen, and dug a well.

Huang Mulin only learned about these things from He Huiniang later.

At this time, He Huiniang's mother spoke up: "Mother-in-law."

Zheng Jiaojiao said, "Children have their own rules for living. As long as they are not cheating, the elders should scold them when they should and bless them when they should. Don't you think this makes sense?"

"Hmph." Roland glanced at Zheng Jiaojiao and said disdainfully, "What's there to bless a little girl for? Isn't she a money-loser? When she grows up, she's going to be sent to someone else's house!"

Not only the He family, but even the village chief Huang Dachuan and others looked unhappy. Many people had daughters in their families. Although they were not as precious as Huang Bo's family, they could not be said to be a loss-making commodity.

"Sister-in-law." Second Grandfather Huang Erzhu couldn't help but speak: "The first birthday party of the Bozi family girl is a happy event. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in private."

Huang Erzhu is Huang Bo's father's biological brother, so Roland had to give him some face, so he kept silent.

Besides, if I say a few more words, I will eat less meat. I can’t take this loss.

Huang Ming somehow took over the conversation: "Uncle, what mother said is not wrong. None of my eldest brother's sons had a birthday party. Now I have to give it to a girl. It's not worth it for my nephews."

This is an example of picking up the bowl to eat and then cursing when you put down your chopsticks!

The protagonist Huang Mulin, who was being discussed, thought silently.

You kid, you haven’t swallowed all the meat in your mouth yet.

Roland is a very patriarchal person, and Huang Ming inherited this concept.

Looking at Huang Ming, his skin color is whiter than that of ordinary farmers, his face is a little cold, and his mouth is always pursed when he is not talking. He doesn't look like an easy person to get along with. The corners of his eyes are slightly raised, as if hiding something that makes people wary.

Afterwards, Huang Mulin also heard that if the marriages of his two aunts had not been arranged by the deceased Mr. Huang, they would probably have ended up being sold marriages.

Although Huang Bo, as a son, didn't receive much love.

"Second child!" Huang Bo's face immediately fell when he heard this: "Mu Mu is my daughter. My husband and I love her dearly, and our sons are also happy."

Although the fourth son of the Huang family didn't quite understand, he still nodded vigorously in agreement with his father's words.

"I don't have much talent. I just want to hold a family dinner for my child. I just want relatives and friends to say a few words of blessing to Mu Mu, and everyone can have a happy meal."

After hearing this, Roland opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted.

"Okay." Huang Dachuan said, although he didn't want to get involved in such annoying family affairs at all: "Just eat, why are you talking so much?"

"Today is a big day for the Hiroko family, so hold back your words that might spoil the fun. Then you can go back to your room and make rocks pop out of flowers, and no one will care!"
