We have separated, what does it have to do with me if my husband's family eats bran?
Chapter 34 It's not that simple
Most of the families in the village came to sell sweet potato noodles, and Cheng Yue and her friends didn’t finish until dark.
Of course, the poor performance of the scale is also part of the reason.
The group of people thanked Cheng Yue again and again, took the money, and happily went down the mountain together. On the way, they kept discussing the embarrassment that Zhao had made today.
Cheng Yue was moving the sweet potato noodles that were piled up in the yard into the house.
The villagers regard sweet potato noodles as their staple food. Each household can only sell a small amount, but the total amount sold in the whole village is almost 6,000 kilograms.
There is so much sweet potato noodles, and there are only three rooms in the house, so it definitely can’t be put into place unless you put it in the space.
But Chen Lin, Chen Tong and Chen Ning were all watching, so she couldn't perform magic tricks under their noses.
Cheng Yue thought about it and decided to put only half of it into the space.
"Xiao Lin, Xiao Tong, Xiao Ning, there are too many sweet potato noodles. The kitchen definitely can't hold them all. You guys move the small bags to your rooms, and I'll move the rest."
Cheng Yue bought all the bags herself. Since there were too many needed, she couldn't make them all at once, so she bought some of all sizes.
The big one can hold 50 kilograms, and the small one can hold 20 to 30 kilograms.
Nowadays, grain is packed in sacks. Although they are not valuable, they are considered family property. When people sell grain, they certainly cannot give away bags.
The three siblings looked at the sweet potato noodles piled up in the yard, then looked at the kitchen, and without giving it a second thought, they just stuck their butts out and started working.
Chen Lin is a young boy who has eaten well these days, so it is no problem for him to have a bag in each hand.
Although Chen Tong and Chen Ning are young, they are used to doing farm work and are very strong. They can carry bags weighing twenty or thirty kilograms and walk away.
As soon as the three children left, Cheng Yue threw ten bags at a time into the space, and then ran to the room to pile them up.
Chen An was used to watching from the side and looked calm.
Chen Lin and the others came out and blinked, thinking that they were dazzled. Did Mom move so fast? How come so many things were missing all of a sudden?
When they came out after moving everything into the house, they were dumbfounded. There were clearly several bags of sweet potato noodles just now. "Mom, how come all the sweet potato noodles are gone in an instant?"
Cheng Yue was as steady as an old dog. "Mom is just like your grandma, she's very strong. Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. You guys take a break and I'll prepare for dinner later."
After a busy afternoon, I'm so hungry that my stomach is empty.
Chen Tong and Chen Ning also went into the kitchen to help, and Cheng Yue didn't chase them away.
She placed everything needed for cooking on the stove and in the cupboards; there was nothing to hide.
Chen Tong washed the vegetables, Chen Ning lit the fire, and two children helped. Cheng Yue just cut the vegetables and cooked. In just a few minutes, she made two dishes and a soup.
A dish of stir-fried pork with shredded pickles, a dish of stir-fried bok choy, a bowl of tomato and egg soup, and leftover braised pork, there is enough for the whole family.
The staple food is white rice porridge with a few big steamed buns on top. They were all made at noon and can be eaten just by heating them up.
Cheng Yue's family was eating with gusto. Zhao and Li Manying were also eating, but the situation was not so harmonious.
"Look at what you made." Zhao frowned and flipped the dish in front of her with chopsticks. The more she looked at Li Manying, the more she disliked her.
Today she knocked her tongue and came back, but Li Manying actually pretended not to see it? She had to ask him to cook for her, it was really outrageous.
The food was not cooked well and tasted bitter, making it impossible to eat. She even suspected that Li Manying had shit on her hands.
Otherwise, they are both cooking, why isn’t the cooking by the second son’s wife as delicious?
Li Manying took a bite of the coarse flour bun and pouted, "It's just a small vegetable, without any oil or water, how can it be delicious?
If you want to eat something delicious, you can use your money to buy some meat! If you don’t want meat, you can just use eggs.”
All the food in the house was locked in the cabinet in the bedroom by Zhao, and she would give Li Manying a fixed amount of rice and flour every time she cooked.
Zhao watched the eggs even more closely. He wanted to touch the chickens' butts every day, pick up the eggs and secretly lock them up.
My family is not that poor, but we can't even afford eggs. I'm afraid people will laugh at me if I tell others about it.
You are so stingy, but you complain that her cooking is not delicious?
Since Zhao didn't pay for the meat, she wouldn't be taken advantage of and buy the meat. At worst, they could just eat coarse food together. Anyway, she would not suffer any loss.
"How can you covet my money and eggs? They are for my two golden grandchildren. How can a fool like you be worthy of being a mother? You are actually fighting with your own son for things!"
"You are just like the second brother's family, all of you are stupid. This unfilial thing, you let outsiders make money and don't give it to me. You really can't tell good from bad!
These two little girls can't even provide for their old age, so how can they wear new clothes? They will just be given away to others. I'll just wait for this idiot to cry!"
Zhao was originally scolding Li Manying, but as she was scolding she suddenly remembered the humiliation she had suffered from Chen An today, so she simply turned her gun around and scolded Chen An, becoming more and more angry.
Compared with Li Manying, she was more angry at Chen An, who had been close to his useless father since childhood and was not like herself at all.
If I had known he was so unfilial, I should have strangled him when he was born.
When the family property was divided, he was told not to give any filial respect, and he really didn't give any. She didn't get any new clothes, and even the money for exchanging food for money didn't give her a share. She was really mad!
Li Manying immediately grasped the point and stopped getting angry with Zhao. She asked, "Mom, you just said that the second son and his family gave money to outsiders. What's going on?"
Zhao let out a breath of foul air and said unhappily, "I asked you to go and find out, but you didn't go. Now that I have found out, you are asking questions. It shows that you are smart!"
Li Manying smiled and flattered, "Oh, mother, you know I'm stupid, what can I find out? Experience is the key, you have to take action on this matter."
Today, my mother-in-law came back with a bruised mouth and looked so miserable, it was obvious that she had suffered a loss. She was glad that she didn't go.
Now it seems there is something else going on. Why did the second brother's family give money to others? If I don't find out, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night.
Zhao glanced at Li Manying, and she was somewhat self-aware, so she snorted:
"What else can we do? The second brother's family is a bunch of brainless people. After dividing the money, they only know how to buy new clothes. Now it's almost all gone. While there is still some left, hurry up and buy sweet potato noodles for the whole village!"
The more Li Manying listened, the more she felt something was wrong. The second brother's family got ten taels of silver. How could it be spent all on buying a few pieces of cloth?
How many kilograms of sweet potato noodles would that be for the whole village? Who would buy so much sweet potato noodles to store for food?
"The second brother and his wife are not stupid. How could they buy so much sweet potato noodles for no reason? Who eats sweet potato noodles every day?
"Mom, didn't you find out clearly? I'm afraid this matter is not that simple!"
Zhao was about to get angry, but then she felt that what Li Manying said made sense. Half of the village went to the second brother's house to sell sweet potato noodles, and the total amount must be several thousand kilograms.
With so much food stored, could something have happened?
