The secret room was less than 20 square meters in size, with a total of four wooden boxes stacked in it. She went over and opened each box to check, and there were indeed whole boxes of gold, silver, jade, agate, calligraphy and paintings, and antiques. She quickly put all the things into the space.

In fact, these treasures were not all of her ancestors' treasures, but only a small part of them.

During the war, her grandfather and her uncle had to flee to Hong Kong, but her father was unwilling to leave in order to support national construction in the future.

Before leaving, her grandfather divided all the family property into four parts. Her grandfather took two parts for himself, and her uncle and her father each took one part. But when her grandfather and her uncle left, they took away two more wooden boxes from her father's share. So, there should have been six boxes of treasure here.

The air in the secret room was not very good. After taking away the treasure, she did not stay for long. After coming out, she restored the door of the secret room to its original position, left the cellar, came to the ground, filled the soil on the ground, and left to go home.

After waking up in the morning, I went into the space to check the seeds I planted in the soil last night, and found that all the seeds had shown signs of germination.

If these seeds were grown in ordinary land and irrigated with ordinary water, they would take at least one to two days to germinate. Now that they are germinating at a significantly higher rate than in the outside world, their future growth rate will inevitably be much higher than in the outside world.

She immediately used her mind to plow all the land and planted all the seeds she had bought.

After getting up, I tidied myself up and went to the kitchen to make tomato and egg noodles.

Seeing that the tomatoes were red and ripe, he planted the seeds in the soil in the space.

She promised Aunt Chang to visit their house today, and after dinner, she went out.

She first went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some fruit, two bottles of canned fruit, and three pounds of pork belly, and then took them to Zhang's house.

Only Chang Chunli was doing housework in the Zhang family. When she saw Xu Nuannuan coming, she hurried over with a smile.

"Nuan Nuan, you are here."

"Auntie."

Xu Nuannuan put the things she bought on the table. Not seeing Zhang Lan, she asked, "Sister Lan hasn't come yet?"

"I went over there yesterday to tell her you were coming today, and she's probably coming soon."

"Uncle Zhang went to work again."

"Well, I'll be back at noon."

The Zhang family also has a son who is serving in the army and is Zhang Lan's younger brother. He is never at home until the Chinese New Year.

Chang Chunli asked Xu Nuannuan: "Nuannuan, what do you want to eat? Let's make whatever you want for lunch."

Xu Nuannuan suddenly thought of dumplings, because eating dumplings has the taste of home. In her previous life, ever since she separated from her parents, she has never tasted the taste of home from dumplings.

Chang Chunli and Uncle Zhang are basically the same as her family. In the evening, she will go to send some to her parents.

"Aunt Chang, I bought some meat. Can we make dumplings?"

"Yes, of course."

The two families always kept close to each other. Chang Chunli didn't bother to be polite with Xu Nuannuan. She took the pork belly and went to the kitchen. "I'll chop the meat and mix the noodles."

"Aunt Chang, I'll do it with you, and we can still chat."

"But Nuannuan." She subconsciously looked at her. She knew how much Suyun had spoiled her daughter. She probably had never done these chores at home. "Nuannuan, you may not be able to do it."

"I can do it." Xu Nuannuan was very confident: "Aunt Chang, you underestimate me. It's just mincing meat and mixing dough, right? I can do it. I can even make dumpling fillings."

"You, your mother taught you before?"

Xu Nuannuan nodded: "I sometimes help my mother with it."

In fact, most of them were learned when she was doing tasks in the small world.

"That's fine."

"I'll chop the meat." Xu Nuannuan took the initiative to take over the task of chopping the meat, put the meat on the chopping board, and started cutting it into pieces with a knife.

Chang Chunli gave her an apron, and seeing that she was doing it really well, she went to knead the dough.

Xu Nuannuan told Chang Chunli that she had driven Fang Suhuan's family and Liu Cuiying away. Chang Chunli sighed, "I originally thought they were your closest relatives, but what they did was so chilling. Since they are so bad, it's a good thing to drive them out.

If they cause you trouble again, be sure to tell me and your Uncle Zhang, and we will help you deal with them."

"Aunt Chang, they're scared by my beatings, so I guess they won't seek hardship again."

"I hope they can behave themselves and be well behaved."

As the two were talking, Xu Nuannuan thought of Zhang Yue and asked Chang Chunli, "Is Brother Jianjun doing well in the army?"

In her previous life, she died and left the world in a hurry, and she didn't know what happened to Zhang Jianjun later.

"Okay, okay. Hey, the postman just delivered two letters, one of which is for you."

"For me?" Xu Nuannuan was a little surprised.

Chang Chunli quickly took the letter and handed it to Xu Nuannuan.

Xu Nuannuan took the letter and opened it immediately. Chang Chunli respected her privacy very much. She did not watch from the side nor asked her about the contents of the letter.

After reading the letter, Xu Nuannuan said nothing. She folded it and put it in her pocket, washed her hands, and continued to knead the dough.

The two of them mixed the dough and chopped the meat. Seeing that Zhang Lan hadn't arrived yet, Chang Chunli said to Xu Nuannuan, "Let's go to the county market and buy some other vegetables. We can also stop by Lanlan's house. After we finish buying the vegetables, let her come with us."

"Okay, Aunt Chang."

They went out and quickly arrived at the vegetable market. After buying vegetables, they went to Zhang Lanlan's in-laws' home, the Hu family.

The Zhang family of more than ten people live in a tube-shaped building. Each house is about 70 or 80 square meters, but it is home to more than ten people.

They walked into the narrow and dark corridor, and before they reached the door of Zhang's house, they saw Zhang Lan coming out.

Zhang Lan's belly had just begun to show. Seeing Chang Chunli and Xu Nuannuan, she said happily, "Mom, Nuannuan, why are you here? I said I was going home."

"Nuannuan and I just came back from the vegetable market, and we stopped by to ask you to come with us."

"Okay, let's go."

Zhang Lan had not taken a few steps with her bag when a little boy suddenly rushed up from behind her. The little boy ran so fast that he bumped into her hard. Zhang Lan leaned forward and was about to fall to the ground.

"Sister Lan, be careful."

Xu Nuannuan was quick-witted and rushed over to support Zhang Lan.

Zhang Lan protected her stomach with both hands and was almost scared out of her wits.

The little boy who had just bumped into her had already run away. She yelled at him, "Xiaohui, why are you running so fast? You almost knocked me down."

"I, I'm going to go play with Aihu. I'm leaving." After saying that, he ran away again.

Xu Nuannuan asked her: "Sister Lan, are you okay?"

"I'm fine, Nuannuan, thank you so much. If you hadn't supported me in time, I might have fallen to the ground."

After saying that, she subconsciously looked at her belly. If she really fell, the baby in her belly might be in danger.

Xu Nuannuan was still in shock. She remembered that Zhang Lan had a miscarriage at noon in her previous life. It was only a little after nine in the morning, which meant that this fall might have caused serious damage to Zhang Lan, but it could not directly cause her miscarriage. Combined with the incident at noon, it was what eventually caused her miscarriage and she lost her fertility forever.

Chang Chunli also hurried over and supported Zhang Lan: "Lanlan, how are you? Are you okay?"

"Mom, thankfully Nuannuan caught me in time. Don't worry, I'm fine."

At this time, the eldest sister-in-law of the Hu family poked her head out of the house and looked outside.

Seeing her, Chang Chunli quickly said, "Sister-in-law, please take good care of the child from now on. Just now, your Xiaohui ran too fast and bumped into Lanlan. Lanlan is still pregnant. If it weren't for Nuannuan holding her up, she would have been knocked to the ground. It would have been a disaster."

Mrs. Hu seemed unconcerned. "Nothing happened, did it? I told the kid off, but he just has that kind of personality. He won't listen, and there's nothing I can do."

"Even if he doesn't listen, you have to tell him. Children forget things quickly. You should tell him a few more times and keep him under control."

Mrs. Hu didn't say anything else, but her face was full of impatience.

Zhang Lan held Chang Chunli and said, "Mom, don't tell her yet. Let's go home."

She didn't want her in-laws' affairs to disturb their relationship, nor did she want to drag Xu Nuannuan into the quarrel with her in-laws.

Chang Chunli curled her lips, and seemed to be considering Xu Nuannuan, so she forced herself to remain silent.

Xu Nuannuan felt that this matter seemed more complicated than it actually was. When she got outside, she asked Zhang Lan, "Sister Lan, the eldest wife's child is so reckless. Will the second wife's child be any better?"

Zhang Lan said, "It's a little better, but not much better."

"The two daughters of the eldest wife are not young anymore."

"One is sixteen, and the other is thirteen."

Xu Nuannuan sighed secretly, "They are two girls of that age, they should have their own rooms to sleep in."

"No, there are too few rooms at home. My eldest brother works alone and his company doesn't have any allocated rooms. They can't afford to buy one, so they sleep in one room and draw a curtain in the middle at night. Da Ying and Er Ying have been complaining for a long time that they don't want to sleep in the same room with their parents, but unfortunately there is no extra room at home."

"How is the relationship between your eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law?"

"No, they're always arguing, and my mother-in-law can't control them, especially these days. They start arguing over trivial matters."

"You mean, they didn't argue much before, but they've been arguing more frequently recently. So they're just arguing, not fighting, right?"

"Sometimes when the argument gets intense, they start fighting, and no one can separate them unless their men are there."

"Sister Lan, isn't it dangerous for you to stay in that house? The kids are running around, and their mothers are always arguing and fighting. You're pregnant now. What if someone knocks you down? Just like today, it's too dangerous. Maybe it would be safer if you moved out."

Chang Chunli listened to their conversation and complained to Mrs. Hu: "Look at Xiaohui's mother. I asked her to take care of the child, but she ignored me. Isn't this just indulging the child?

If we hadn't come today, you would have been knocked down by him. Oh, Mom is really worried that if you continue to live in his house, something will happen one day. Why don't you come back to live with us and wait until you give birth to the baby in the hospital before going back, otherwise Mom will worry every day.

After listening to Xu Nuannuan's words, Zhang Lan realized something. After hearing Chang Chunli's words, she almost understood why the family quarreled and the child was always running around.

"Nuannuan, Mom, the day before yesterday, Daying asked me when his uncle's workplace would distribute housing. He must be targeting our room and wants to force us to move out so those two girls can move in."

Chang Chunli thought about it and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"Fuck him! He wants to force my daughter out just to let his own daughter have a house to live in. How can this person be so cruel? You are pregnant now, and they don't even want you to live in the house."
