The little cook in the book has fallen asleep

Old Mrs. Cheng had just returned from the county town and heard Old Man Cheng's loud roar. She immediately felt something was wrong.

Old Mrs. Cheng immediately asked Zheng Rong to help them call the head of the village and the village chief over, and then she pulled her daughter-in-law to the backyard. She had to go and help, otherwise what would happen if the old man suffered!

When they found out their corn had been stolen yesterday, they knew from the footprints that it was Cheng Tiezi's family who did it. She originally wanted to go straight to their house to make trouble.

But Cheng Yu told them not to make a big fuss. If the thief got a taste of the sweetness, he would definitely come again! She wanted to catch him in the act!

Cheng Lixiao originally wanted to run to the backyard, but then he seemed to think of something, so he changed direction and took his brothers to secretly climb over the wall from Cheng's house to Cheng Pandi's house.

Then the group walked along the path to the backyard of Cheng Pandi's house.

"Uncle, what are you going to do?" Sure enough, they really saw Cheng Tiezi and his two grandsons walking towards them with some corns in their arms. No! They were walking towards the front yard.

In the cornfield, Cheng Chunhua (Daya) was caught on the spot. She nervously grasped the corn in her hands and used her body to protect her younger sisters behind her.

But Cheng Sanya pushed her forward forcefully and she fell to the ground. Her sisters also ran away, leaving her alone here.

"Chunhua, what are you doing?" Old Mrs. Cheng always thought that Cheng Chunhua was the good bamboo shoot that came out of the bad bamboo in Cheng Pandyi's family. But today she found out that she was wrong. She actually took her younger brothers and sisters to steal corn in their cornfield.

Cheng Chunhua was so frightened that she trembled all over. The corn she had just broken off fell to the ground. She stammered, "Grandma Mu... Mu Qiu, I... we didn't mean to do that. My grandfather said we were just taking some of your wild fruits to eat!"

Cheng Tiezi didn't know what corn was, so he kept telling his grandchildren that corn was a wild fruit. Cheng Chunhua naturally believed it, and after she took it home and roasted it yesterday, she also got a piece and was praised by her grandfather!

"Wild fruit? You! Do you really think this is wild fruit?" Old Mrs. Cheng was so angry that she stamped her feet and pointed at the corn cobs on the ground and said, "This is not a wild fruit at all, this is food that can save lives! What you stole is what my daughter wanted to save as seeds!"

If Cheng Chunhua was the thief from yesterday, she must have eaten this corn. How dare she say it was a wild fruit!

Originally, this corn was saved by Nannan for seeds, but because they stole the corn, all the rows near their house had to be harvested.

She took a look and found that what Cheng Tiezi and his friends had stolen today were enough to make corn cakes for tomorrow morning.

"I...I don't know!" Cheng Chunhua was a little scared, but still said stubbornly: "Grandpa said I can pick it, he won't lie to me!"

"Of course you don't know, these are grain seeds that can save lives!" At this time, Zheng Rong also came back with the village chief and the head of the village, and then she said to Cheng Chunhua angrily.

Zheng Rong and Cheng Chunhua are the same age, but their lives are very different. One is as thin as a bamboo pole, while the other is plump and white. Their body shapes are also very different. Cheng Chunhua is so inferior that she dares not look Zheng Rong in the eye.

"You, a rich girl, will never understand. You have never lived the kind of life I have!" Cheng Chunhua looked at Zheng Rong aggrievedly, tears welling up in her eyes, "Just because I am a girl, I have never had a full meal!" Cheng Chunhua burst into tears.

"Chunhua, you..." Old Mrs. Cheng shook her head and left! She had also experienced this kind of life, so she didn't say anything!

"This is not the reason why you do sneaky things." Zheng Rong said sternly.

They are different! Even if she is in a secret place, her values do not allow her to do these things. When the Cheng family did not save her, she would rather die than be defiled!

Because she looks like her great-grandmother, she has always been loved at home, but she was also forced to grow up after being separated from her mother.

Although Zheng Rong had never experienced the days in the countryside where boys were favored over girls, she knew that people must have a bottom line and not do such petty thefts just for greed or to please others.

Old Mrs. Cheng was thinking, which girl in the countryside didn't go through this? Whether it was the eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, or the youngest daughter-in-law who suffered the most in her natal family.

But the daughters-in-law all grew up well, with positive values, hardworking hands and feet, and independent and self-reliant character, which are all things Cheng Chunhua should have learned, but she ended up learning from her grandmother Cheng Pandyi.

Now she is so good to Cheng Yu, not only because she likes girls, but also because girls at this age already have a hard life. If their families don't treat them well, how miserable will they be!

Zheng Rong felt that she had not experienced the suffering that Cheng Chunhua had gone through, so she didn't say anything and followed Old Lady Cheng to the front yard.

"Women can also make a name for themselves in the world. I don't think my experience is any better than yours, but I am living a happy life now!" said Lin Paner. As someone who has experienced it, she has the most say.

Yes, she lived next door to the Cheng family, and she could see every day how happy the Cheng family was.

Grandma Mu Qiu took great care of Cheng Yu, and was even better to Sister Cheng and the other two...

She was wrong...

Cheng Chunhua stood there for a long time without coming back to her senses.

In the front yard, Cheng Lixiao and his brothers brought Cheng Tiezi and his grandchildren over.

"Village chief, village head, you have to help me! I just took some wild fruits from them! And they brothers beat me up!" Cheng Tiezi was the first to complain.

"Wild fruits? Boss, go in and get out two corn cakes for the village chief and the head of the village to taste. Are they wild fruits or food that can fill their stomachs?" said Old Man Cheng.

This cousin is useless. Who knows what will happen when my nephew and niece-in-law come back!

"When he was young, he stole needles; when he grows up, he will steal silver!" Cheng Xiaoba said on the side. This is what his grandmother told him today.

"When you are young, you steal needles. When you grow up, you steal silver."

"When you are young, you steal needles. When you grow up, you steal silver."

Xiao Ou kept circling around Cheng Tiezi's head and saying this.

Cheng Tiezi wanted to kill the bird, but he couldn't reach it, so he was so angry that he jumped up and down.

At this time, the villagers who came to watch the fun also surrounded the Cheng family...

"Uncle Tiesong, Uncle Tieshou, please try this. These are wild fruits that my daughter picked up on the mountain. We found that they were enough to fill our stomachs, but we couldn't bear to eat them. We originally planned to save them for seeds." Cheng Jin handed the corn cakes to the village chief and the head of the village, and then explained.

"Yes, Nannan said she wanted to save them for seeds, but they were stolen yesterday, so we had to pick them and make them into food!" Cheng Shang took over and immediately explained the reason.

"I deliberately went there to guard today, and I actually caught him in the act!" said Mr. Cheng.

Hearing this, everyone present looked at Cheng Tiezi with contempt in their eyes.

"Cheng Tiezi, what else do you have to say?" Old Master Cheng said coldly.

Cheng Tiezi lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, but he was filled with regret in his heart. He was caught red-handed by Cheng Tielin's family, but now there was no way to escape.

"Hmph, you'd better give me an explanation, otherwise don't blame me for being rude!" Old Master Cheng snorted coldly, turned and left.

Yesterday, Cheng Yu told him that instead of making trouble with Cheng Tiezi's family, it would be better to catch them in the act, so that they would not have a chance to argue.

"This is really food!" After eating the corn cake, the village chief smelled the green corn on the ground.

An excited look appeared on his face. He picked up a corn cob with trembling hands, looked at it carefully, with tears in his eyes.

The land in their Qingshan Village is not fertile, and only one crop can be grown a year, so most families cannot get enough to eat.

And now, these things called corn in front of him gave him hope.

"Yes, this, this is really food!" The village chief was so excited that he was incoherent. He squeezed the corn cob in his hand hard and was excited when he smelled the scent of corn.

At this time, the surrounding villagers also gathered around and looked at this thing called corn, their faces filled with surprise and joy.

"That's great! Can we have enough food to eat now?!" a villager shouted excitedly.

"Yes, if you leave the fruit to turn golden yellow, you can save it as seeds and plant it next season!" Cheng Tian replied.

Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Mr. Cheng's mouth curled up slightly, he knew that his goal had been achieved.

So he picked up the green corns that were thrown on the ground and said regretfully: "These were originally saved by my daughter for planting!"

This sentence was like a bomb, causing an uproar in an instant.

"Yes, Dad. One seed produces one corn. How many corn cobs can we harvest in the future? I thought that if there were a lot of seeds, I could share some with everyone!" Cheng Jin also said while the iron was hot.

"Now there is none! It's even a question whether we will have enough to plant next year!" Cheng Jin continued to fan the flames.

"Cheng Tiezi, you are destroying other people's crops. It's your choice whether to pay compensation or report to the police!" said the village chief seriously.

"Don't report to the police, don't report to the police, I will pay the money, I will pay the money!" Cheng Tiezi immediately became scared. He was also afraid of being sentenced to exile like Cheng Pandyi!

"Two taels of silver, not a penny less, and I want you to write a letter of guarantee, promising not to touch our corn again! Otherwise, our Cheng family will report to the police!" Old Mrs. Cheng said firmly.

"Okay, okay, but I can't write!" Cheng Tiezi is really the same as Cheng Pandyi and Liu Hua, even their way of playing tricks are exactly the same.

"Come, just sign here." Cheng Lixiao came out with his younger brothers, holding three pieces of paper in their hands, and Xiao Ba was holding the ink pad in his hand.

Cheng Tiezi had no choice but to sign and seal the agreement, and then ask his son and daughter-in-law to send money to redeem them.

That night, Cheng Tiezi's house was in chaos.

The Cheng family was still busy preparing materials for tomorrow's stall. They did not bring the stove and steamer back and placed them in the shop given by the Lin family, since they had to go there tomorrow anyway.

Cheng Yu was sitting on a bench wondering when he could harvest the corn and when he could move into the new house. At that time, the Cheng family was not in a hurry to move to the new house because they were worried that the potatoes and corn in the backyard would be stolen.

Also, the shop given by the Lin family has three floors. What kind of business is it going to do?

When Cheng Yu feels sleepy, someone will hand him a pillow, for example, at the lotus viewing banquet hosted by the county magistrate's wife the day after tomorrow.
