Rich Peasant Girl: The General's Wife Has Space

Father Xiao looked at the large pot of potato and chicken soup, hesitated for a moment and said, "Mother, please serve some to my parents."

When Xiao Liu heard this, her face immediately fell.

He said angrily: "If I give it to my parents, how many can they eat? It all ends up in the eldest wife's mouth. Believe it or not, they will think you gave them too little."

My eldest sister-in-law is so eager to move everyone else's house there that she's still not satisfied.

After hearing this, Father Xiao smiled and said, "How can that be? Big Brother will definitely eat first before our parents. Just send one bowl, enough for them to eat."

After hearing this, Mrs. Liu didn't want to make Old Man Xiao sad.

It must be uncomfortable for my parents to eat something good while they cannot. Besides, Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao are kind people, and she herself is not a mean person.

Thinking of this, Xiao Liu took a big bowl, picked out a few pieces of chicken, scooped a full bowl of potatoes and wild vegetables, and asked Father Xiao to send it to the eldest house.

When Old Man Xiao went over there, the eldest wife was having dinner.

Aunt Wang noticed the bowl in Old Man Xiao's hand and hurried over with a smile.

As he took the bowl, he said, "What delicious food did his second uncle bring to Mom and Dad? Oh, there's even a stewed chicken. Why are you killing a chicken when it's not a festival?"

"Why doesn't it look like there's much meat..."

"Sister-in-law, it's not that Wan'er is not feeling well, so kill a chicken and stew it for her to nourish her body." Xiao Laoer replied awkwardly.

"Besides, the little ones are still growing. The Zhao family kid saved Wan'er, and my family didn't have anything else to repay him, so we just sent him a bowl of chicken, so the serving was less."

The eldest brother Xiao was a simple and honest man. He said to his father, "Second brother, life is not easy. You don't have to send money here often. It's only right to thank the Zhao family. I have you by my side."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang glared at him: "What are you talking about? Even if the second son's life is better, he still can't afford to eat. We can't afford to feed and clothe our parents well, and we don't want the second son to be filial to us?"

Xiao Lao Da choked and said, "Second brother is usually filial, isn't he the most filial during festivals? You better shut up."

Then he turned to his two children, Xiao Ting and Xiao Xu, and said, "Why don't you call me Second Uncle? What's the rule?"

Xiao Ting and Xiao Xu reluctantly stood up and called out "Second Uncle".

Then he sat down, his eyes fixed on the bowl of chicken that Wang placed in front of Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao. Old Man Xiao waved his hand and didn't take it seriously.

Seeing this, Boss Xiao sighed and asked, "By the way, is Wan'er okay?"

"It's okay, big brother. Wan'er is awake and much better."

"That's good, mother. Pack a basket of eggs for the second child and take it back to Wan'er to nourish her body."

"What? A basket of eggs? Where can I get you a basket of eggs?"

Wang was almost mad after hearing this. How come she had to throw away all her eggs there before she could even take advantage of the situation here?

I can't eat much of the chicken myself, and is it worth it for her to give me a basket of eggs as a gift?

"Take as many as you can. You're an aunt, and you're not going to see the kids, so what's wrong with taking a few eggs?"

Boss Xiao was furious.

Although Wang is smart and capable, the real boss is still Boss Xiao.

"knew......"

Sure enough, Wang couldn't stand Uncle Xiao's anger and went to the kitchen to get eggs.

He could only think of six or seven things at most. But Xiao Lao Er stopped him, "Brother and sister-in-law, there's really no need. Wan'er is fine now. She doesn't need to eat eggs. We have them at home."

Xiao Laoer knew his sister-in-law's character very well. If he ate a few of her eggs today, she would keep complaining about it until next year.

The child’s mother would definitely not want to accept it.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Mrs. Xiao turned around and smiled: "Is that so, Third Brother? Next time when we have more, we can give it to Zhengping and the others."

Xiao Lao Er nodded, turned around and asked about the health of Grandpa Xiao and Grandma Xiao.

The two old people knew the character of their eldest daughter-in-law, so they didn't keep Old Man Xiao to dinner. They just said a few words and let him go home.

When Old Man Xiao returned home, the whole family was waiting for him to start dinner.

Although the chicken soup was not very oily, everyone was very full and satisfied after eating it.

Xiao Zhengping held his stomach and sighed, "It would be great if I could eat chicken soup and potatoes every day."

"Look at your potential."

Mrs. Xiao Liu rolled her eyes at her silly son.

When Xiao Wan saw this, she felt sad and became even more determined to find a way to make money as soon as possible and plant more potatoes so that she could store more and have some to use during the winter even if she couldn't sell them.

In the couple's room, Liu sighed. Xiao Laoer had been married to her for many years, so he certainly understood what Liu was worried about.

He hesitated for a moment, then said to Liu, "Mother, my eldest brother came to me yesterday to talk about working on the riverbank. He'll get ten cents a day, but no food. My eldest sister-in-law is urging him to go, so let's go together tomorrow to sign up."

"No, boss, don't be confused."

Liu said excitedly.

"Repairing riverbanks is not an easy job. Have you forgotten that a man from the neighboring village was washed away last year? He has never been found. Let's think of another way."

Liu was afraid of disturbing her children, so she whispered to Xiao Lao Er, "I don't agree with you going. If something happens, who will we mothers rely on?"

Ten cents a day is a lot of money, but it is not as important as life. At least there are people at home who need food, and I can't gamble with my life.

Xiao Lao Er sighed and said, "Look at you, I'm just discussing it with you. I'll also advise my eldest brother that life is more important."

When Liu heard that Xiao Lao Er had changed his mind, she felt relieved. "Yes, you should talk to big brother. It's best not to go. Big sister-in-law is obsessed with money. How dare she let big brother go in such a dangerous place?"

“Okay, I’ll talk to Big Brother tomorrow, go to sleep.
