Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Liu Yanqing, Xiao Zhengping and Xiao Yuer helped set the tables, chairs, dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Wan and Liu served the dishes. After Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao arrived, they greeted Meng and took their seats together.

It happened that Uncle Xiao came to ask my second brother about collecting eggs from the fields. He didn't expect that there were so many people in my second brother's family. He hurriedly greeted the old man and sat down to have dinner with him.

Old Man Xiao took out the wine he had prepared, filled his own cup, and then poured some for Uncle Xiao San and Liu Yanqing respectively. The whole family started eating and had a great time, praising Xiao Wan's cooking skills from time to time.

Especially the fish pancake, the golden pancake is half soaked in the fish soup, and one side is crispy. When you bite it, it is crispy and fragrant, and everyone says it is delicious.

The steamed pork with rice flour was soft, sticky and delicious, and very much to the taste of Grandma Xiao and Grandma Meng. Xiao Wan divided some rice for the two old people and added spiritual spring water to it. The two old people had to eat more.

As for the pig offal, Xiao Wan didn't say anything at first and let everyone taste it. As a result, everyone said it was spicy and delicious, and it was especially tasty when eaten with wine.

Xiao Wan then explained that it was pig offal. Everyone had complicated expressions. They didn't expect that pig offal could be cooked so deliciously and was actually edible.

Mrs. Liu and Old Man Xiao pointed at Xiao Wan and said she was a mischievous person.

Grandpa Xiao was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling as he had his son and nephew-in-law to accompany him to drink. He kept stroking his beard and felt very satisfied.

After dinner, Third Uncle Xiao talked about collecting ground eggs. Xiao Wan smiled and said, "Third Uncle, if you have any, feel free to send them to me. I have some potato seedlings here, and you can take some seeds, but you have to sign a contract with me. You can only sell them to my family."

After hearing this, Grandma Xiao said disapprovingly: "Wan'er, this is your uncle, why did he sign the contract like everyone else? It would be a joke."

Before Xiao Wan could say anything, Uncle Xiao hurriedly said, "Mom, I must sign this contract. Because I am his uncle, I should take the lead in signing the contract. This way, it will be more convincing for others to sign the contract."

Uncle Xiao has never had a strong presence and rarely visits, so Xiao Wan doesn't see him very often. However, she didn't expect Uncle Xiao to be such a sensible person. She nodded secretly and felt very warmed.

Xiao Wan said, "Uncle San, don't worry. My potato seedlings are all improved varieties with a short growing period. Once they bear fruit, you can continue to grow seedlings. I will purchase them for a long time."

"Okay, if you need help building a workshop, just call me anytime. Your aunt and I will come." Uncle Xiao and Aunt Xiao have only one son, Xiao Tong.

"Thank you, Uncle San." Xiao Wan was really touched. Although she had little contact with her Uncle San, he still stood by her at critical moments.

"Uncle, you heard what Third Uncle and I said just now. You can buy ground eggs from somewhere else and sell them to me. You can also bring some potato seedlings back to plant. I'll buy ground eggs for two cents a pound."

Xiao Wan turned to Liu Yanqing and said, of course you can't forget your uncle when there are benefits.

"You can decide how much you want to charge in the village. I'll sell it to you for two cents a pound. It's better than carrying goods in town. You can still take care of your grandparents at home, okay?"

Liu Yanqing had heard everything from Uncle Xiao's beginning, but since he was an outsider, it was difficult for him to speak up. He didn't expect Wan'er to bring it up.

"I'm willing, Wan'er. Of course, your uncle will come to build the workshop. When the workshop is almost finished, your uncle will start harvesting the crops." Liu Yanqing said excitedly.

"Okay, uncle, as long as you trust me, even uncle and nephew have to sign a contract." Xiao Wan said mischievously.

"Of course, uncle has to take the lead first." Liu Yanqing said, tapping Xiao Wan's forehead.

Liu and Meng were overjoyed when they heard this. Liu was even happier that her brother had a job, which would make it easier for him to find a wife and he could also take care of his parents.

"From now on, I'll ask you to collect the eggs from your village, and I'll entrust the eggs from our village to my third uncle's family. I'll let you know in advance when to start, and I'll also pay you extra wages."

"What are you talking about? What kind of wages are you paying?"

Uncle Xiao disagreed and said, how could he ask for wages? It was his duty to help his second brother's family.

Xiao Wan said, "Uncle San, this is a long-term and large undertaking. My family has other things to do and doesn't have the time to buy it. I trust you with this. Of course, I have to pay you for your time."

Uncle Xiao was about to retort, but Old Man Xiao spoke up: "Uncle Xiao, stop pushing it away. Don't you have your own things to do? You should be paid."

Uncle Xiao hesitated and finally nodded.

Grandpa Xiao looked at the two brothers with satisfaction and felt very proud. He wanted to see brothers who were friendly and respectful to each other and a family that was united and happy. All this was thanks to Wan'er.

Grandma Xiao listened for a long time. She had no objection to her nephew being a good boy. She was even happier that her own third son also had a job.

But why didn’t I hear Xiao Wan mention the eldest son’s family?

So she couldn't help but ask, "Wan'er, what does your uncle do? Why don't you find a job for him?"

After hearing this, Grandpa Xiao glared at his wife and said, "Let's not worry about these things."

"I'm just asking. I can't drag the old family down with me, right?" Grandma Xiao was unhappy.

"Grandma, my uncle can also sell me ground eggs. He can also come to me to get ground egg seedlings or ground eggs to grow himself, but is my aunt willing to sign a contract?"

"Your uncle can also harvest eggs from the field." Grandma Xiao was unhappy because she saw that Liu Yanqing could make money by harvesting eggs from the field, while her eldest son could only grow eggs from the field.

Why? Wan'er can't just turn her elbow outward.

Before Xiao Wan could speak, Grandpa Xiao stopped her and said to her, "Okay, I'll tell your uncle when I get home that he's here to pick up the rice seedlings. Old woman, we're done eating, let's go home."

Grandma Xiao agreed reluctantly, and Xiao Wan didn't say anything. Grandma Xiao just loved her son and was very good to all the children, so she didn't want to make a fuss about it.

Xiao Wan really didn't want to deal with her aunt-in-law. She still remembered how she had bullied the original owner of the Liu family by relying on her status as the eldest sister-in-law before the family split up.

In the original owner's memory, she once overheard her aunt-in-law discussing arranging a marriage for her with someone. The person she was talking about was a fool with low IQ, just because the fool's family offered a betrothal gift of five taels of silver.

Later, because the family was divided, the eldest aunt did not have time to fulfill her wish. But the original owner remembered it deeply in his heart, and therefore always held a grudge against the eldest aunt Wang.

Xiao Wan inherited the original owner's will, and of course she also felt a strong dislike for Wang.

Besides, the two cousins ​​are not good people either. If Xiao Wan didn't feel sorry for her uncle, she would not accept the eggs from their family.
